BRYAN WITH
 THE INSURGENTS
Telegfaphs to Democrats to Stand Against
 Cannon.

Washington, March 13.-It became known yesterday that William J. Bryan is taking an interest in the fight against the Cannon organization in the House. He has telegraphed to Democrats to stand up and be count ed against the House rules and if pos sibIe defeat the reelection of MT. Cam non as Speaker.
 The Taft Administration and the Democratic and Republican parties as represented in both branches of Con- gress are all embroiled in the fight over the House rules While no doubt is expressed that Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois will succeed himself as Speaker, no one can safely predict just what will happen Monday when Congress meets in special session to revise the tariff. The Republican insurgents are in an ugly mood. the Democrats are fighting among themselves and the House leaders are deeply concerned.
 An interesting phase of the House controversy is the position in which the Democrats find themselves. Minor ity Leader Champ Clark of Missouri is insistent that his followers shall stand hitched. He has been told that the Republican leaders have received assurances that certain Democrats will stay away from the House on Monday thus nullifying the effect of the in SurgeCt movement on the Republican side of the chamber MT. Clark in tends if possible to bind the Demo- crats in party caucus, but whether he will be able to do this remains to be seen.

COAL CONFERENCE
 WITHOUT RESULT
Miners Will Call Convention to Take
 Further Action.

Philadelphia. March 13-The second conference of the committees repre- sent1ng the anthracite coal operators ana the mine workers. held yesterday 1alied to reach an agreement. It ad- Journed with the understanding that another conference will be held after Presldent Lewis and his committee nave presented the operators proposi- lion 10 continue the existing agree ment for another term of three years to convention of mine workers.
 with every demand fatly refused by was left to the miners delegates. That was to call a convention of the three anthracite districts.
 It was said that the convention week of March as the present three year agreement with theoperators will expire on March 31.
 All of the seven members of the committee appointed on each side were present at the conference, includ ;ng g MT. Baer of the Reading and MT. Matti of the United Mine Workers, whom MT Baer had threatened to throw out or the room during the previous days meeting. There was no attempt at a resumption of hostilities between the two. MT. Baer was i'll and left a short time before the adjournment of ths conference. It was said that he had attended the meeting against the ad- vices of his physician.
 J. L. Cake. an Independent operator, presided at the conference. which con- sumed about three hours, most of which was taken up with the argu- ments of the mine workers for their demands.
 It was evident from the beginning that the operators were unalterable in their decision of yesterday to reject every one of the demands. and at one time it looked as though there might be severance of all negotiations. This was when it was announced on the part of the operators that some of them insisted on making a reduction of 10 per cent. in wages.
 President Lewis at onc4 declared that the mine workers committee would not entertain such proposition for a moment, and it was explained that the 10 per cent. reduction was not given as a proposition but as a suggestion.
 As the operators left the room at the conclusion of the conference. President Truesdale of the Lackawanna. who was in the lead, remarked to those in the ante-room 'No change" and oth- CTS smilingly said that another state ment prepared by the secretaries of the two committees would give all the information.

mental, moral and spiritual uplifting of humanity. In the novels at the beginning of the last century the wom- an is weak, and dependent, generally in a fainting condition and always sentimental. It cannot be said of the women of our day that they are char acterless. The gates have been open ed everywhere, and women are putting courage, energy. purpose and brains into every important question of the day. In 1S40 there were but seven paying occupations into which women could enter. Now there are $500. thropies are dominated by women Whenever we see a well organized wo- mans club we also see vital interest in education.
