SEEKS POLICE PROTECTION
 FROM BLACK HAND ENEMIES.
Wealthy New York American Leaves
 Ship Guarded by Detectives.

New York, April 9.-Vincenzo Schia- no Depape, a wealthy resident of the Bronx, who reached quarantine on the steamship Roma from Italy tonight. in company with his bride, said that his first business upon reaching land would be to appeal to the police of New York for protection against Black Hand enemies. Members of the organization are seeking his life. he says, because of his action in marrying his boyhood sweetheart, whom an in huential member. of a Black Hand band in the old country had coveted for his own.
 Depepe sailed for Italy some months ago for the purpose of seeking and wedding the woman whom he had known and loved many years ago be- fore he came to America. When he arrived on the foreign shore, he says. he learned that she would probably soon be welded to another man. who had been persistent suitor. Depepe, however persuaded her to become his wife. Within day or two he received letters which indicated that his success had aroused the enmity of a powerful secret organization in which his de- feated rival was supposed to be a leader. Before sailing. he received more letters threatening his life and informing him that the hostility of the Black Hand would follow him to America. He went on board the Ro- ma guarded by a dozen Italian police men who remained with him until the ship sailed

OPERATORS REJECT
 MINERS MODIFIED DEMANDS.
No Strike Will Follow, But Owners May Refuse to Allow Miners to Work Without an Agreement.

Philadelphia, April 9.-After con- ferences extending since Wednesday between the anthracite coal operators and the officials of the United Mine Workers of America. representing the miners. at which the question of a wage agreement was discussed to re- place that brought about by the an- thracite strike commission, the oper- ators today rejected the modified de- mands of the miners presented vester- day and the conference adjourned deadlocked.
 There will be no strike inaugurated by the mine workers, however, and the only danger of a suspension of mining in the near future. according to the mine workers officials, arises from the possibility of refusal of the operators to preEait the miners to work without an agreement The modified demands of the miners re- quested that the mine workers be rec ognized as anthracite workers" and that conditions regarding new work by the miners in which wages were involved and which would give in- creased pay to the miners. be i'm proved Although the entire pronosi- ton of the miners as modified was finally rejected. the operators this aft ernoon gave out a statement in New York. where they went immediately following the conference in which they claim that they offered to submit the "new work" complaint to the concilia- tion board created by the anthracite strike commission. When the atten- tion of President Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America was called to the operators statement tonight he said: T have no comment to make"
 Following the conference the district boards of the United Mine Workers organization from the three authra- cite districts went into conference and after session lasting nearly all the afternoon adjourned to meet again to- morrow. At the conclusion of the meeting it is said a statement will be given out covering the miners side of the controversy. The bone of con tention is the refusal of the operators to recognize the mine workers union in any way.

 Many Injured.

Wayne, N. J. April 9.-More than 50,000 pounds of government powder exploded today at the Dupont black powder mills here, instantly killing one workman, Jerome Marsh, seriously injuring two other men, and slightly injuring about 75 other employees. The eight buildings of the plant were com pletely destroyed, while houses were wrecked in all parts of the surrounding country. The shock was felt in will lages thirty miles away
 The exact cause of the disaster will probably never be known, as Marsh the dead man, was alone in the build ing where the first of the series of nine explosions occurred.
 The explosion was most violent. An eleven-ton grinding wheel was carried nearly 600 feet through the air, finally burying itself twelve feet deep in a swamp.
 Fragments of the machinery were found a mile away. The workmen were thrown to the ground and the clothing of many of them was torn away. The loss will reach $150,00O.
