Scranton, Pa. Especially .-The,E
VIII be no strike in the anthrac,k
held this year. Developments at d
tridistrict convention of the mnl
workers indicate that the miners vii
nave peace at any cost. They OPEN
admit that they do not want
strike, are not prepared for a strlks
and will avoid even a suspension j
far as they are able.
II is the sentiment of the deleg,
ton that acceptance of the opersl
tors offer 10 renew the old agreeI
ment would be the wiser course, acI
cepting any additional demand thsI
the generosity of the coal operatonI
will grant
The men are preparing even u
relinquish their erstwhile staundI
support of the clause that broughI
the issue down to recognition CI
strike. 1t is no strike under AMI
circumstances.
At a meeting of the officers O|
the three districts there was d.l
vision in the opinion as to the supl
port of the recognition clause, and
the committee, unable to come n
an agreement on this point, decided
to appoint a subcommittee to del
eide the question of policy. Thi
committee consists of Presided
Lewis. District Presidents Ryscayage
Fahey and McIlhenny
President Lewis and the distud
leaders were not anxious to relr|
quish that stand for recognition but
the delegates were quite willing t
waive even this, realizing that tht
present situation is not favorable tN
a test of strength.
If the operators stand willing 10
sign the counter proposition made at
the Philadelphia conference, the min.
ers will reluctantly sign it, although
the only question that Will have tc
be decided at the conference will
be the length of the agreemen
whether it shall be for one year Of
three.
Reafirming the demands ALREADY
presented to the operators, the an
thracite miners voted to remain at
work after April /, allowing the dis
trict executive boards of the hard
coal fields of Pennsylvania to con
tinue their efforts TO get an agree
ment satisfactory to the men. The
miners were instructed by the con
vention to continue at work until
such time as they are otherwise noll'
fed by the official representatives OF
the three anthracite districts, and
the executive boards were INSTRUCTED
to negotiate an agreement upon such
basis as the boards, in their judg'
ment, believe the conditions warrant
President Lewis .hen recognized
Secretary Hartlein, who read reso'
luton which provided that II nc
agreement be reached with the opera
tors that in proof of the justneS'
of their demands the representative
of the anthracite mine workers au-
thorize the miners committee Of
seven to petition President Taft IA
appoint a commission to look into
and investigate the conditions as

iaD D.-Lieutenant Shackleton's ship
Nimrod has returned here with the
exploring party aboard, all Of whom
are well. The members of the ex-
pedition give some additional details
to those already published. Pro-
fessor David and his companions re-
count that when they started on the
journey to the magnetic pole the
weather was so hot that they had to
pull their two sledges in singlets
There was half a ton of provisions
on each sledge. After a compare
tive easy 2j0-mile journey along the
sea ice they had hard and almost
hopeless climb to the inland plateau.
They carried their lives in their
hands, fighting their way inch by
inch, and suffered great privations on
the return journey. When rescued

The members of Lieutenant
party Sldlt Nudi Wien
they were compelled to turn back
their bodily strength was diminish
ing so rapidly that their temperature
went down to far below normal, in
some cases reaching SO degrees and
in others considerably lower than
that. They nearly died from starVa-
tion before finding one of the depots
and were always on very short ra-
tions.
Had this party been two days later
in reaching the Nimrod she would
have been frozen in for another sea-
son. They declare that any future
explorer attempting to reach the pole
must be provided with much larger
supplies Of food, because there is no
doubt that the South Pole is situated
on high plateau and that the cold

world prevails there. there being 20
degrees of frost under the very mild

say anything regarding the protest
made by the Commonwealth of Aus

Washington, d. C. Especially -
Mrs. Pierre Lorllard, wife of Pierre
Lorlilard, the tobacco magnate of
New York and Washington, was
found dead in her bathroom at $50,
and Coroner Nevitt who was sum-
moned by DR.. NJ. Il. Cuthbert, the
family physician, after an investiga-
tion and an autopsy by the deputy
coroner, DR.. Glazebrook. gave a GER
tificate of death by suicide. In spite
of the coroner's certificate, members
of the family declare that Mrs Loril-
lard died of heart failure.
The death was made more dram
attic by occurring only a few hours
after Mr.. and Mrs Lorillard had been
the guests of Mrs. Townsend on Mas
sachusetts Avenue, at a dinner given
in honor of Lady Paget. In fact,
1t Is believed that as soon as Mrs.
Lorillard arrived at her home, at
2030 Hillyer Place, shortly after
midnight she began to prepare for
her death.
About $50 o'clock A. NJ. the but
Ter in the Lorillard residence detect
ed an odor of gas permeating the
rooms. With little difficulty the ori-
gin of the fumes were traced TO Mrs.
Lorillard's apartments. Opening the
door of the bathroom, just off of
her suite, the butler was Mortified
to behold the body of the mistress
Of the house lifeless on the floor. Her
face was turned to the mat
The alarm given by the butler
brought Mr.. Lorillard from his
apartments across the hall. Togeth-
er they carried the body to Mrs.
Lorillard's room. Panic-stricken,
the servant was dispatched for a
doctor, while Mr.. Lorillard attempted
to revive his wife by means of arti-
fetal respiration. DR.. NJ. f. Cuth-
bert, the family physician, was sum-
moned, and arrived about the same
time that DR.. II. B. Deale was ad-
mitted to the residence. Both re-
sorted to every scientific method
within their power to restore life,
but after an hours efforts gave up
in despair.
Shortly afterward DR.. j. Ramsey
Nevitt, the coroner was notified. He
visited the Lorillard home, and aft
er an investigation ordered Deputy
Coroner Glazebrook to perform an
autopsy, upon the completion of
which DR.. hewitt issued a certificate
of death of suicide by gas poisoning.
Pinned TO Mrs. Lorillard's dress
was small packet, upon the outside
of which was written, please bury
this with my body" Inside the
packet were some little trinkets, of
no particular value. After looking at
the note and considering all the cir
cumstances, Mr.. Lorillard admitted
that everything indicated that Mrs.
Lorillard had Intentionally taken her
own life, but he said that in spite
of these circumstances he was loath
to believe that her death was due
to suicide. He explained that Mrs.
Lorillard had suffered greatly from
insomnia, and was in the habit of
taking soothing powders, and he be-
lieved that these powders overcame
her as she was endeavoring to turn
on the light in the bathroom.
