UNITED STATES
AND MEXICO JOIN
IN DETERMINATION THAT PEACE
SHALL PREVAIL IN CEN
TRIAL AMERICA.

Washington, March 13.-Owing to
the continued disturbed conditions in
Nicaragua and President Zelayas rail
ure to make serious efforts looking to
a settlement of the Emery claim, the
state department yesterday by with
drawing Mr.. Gregory, the American
charge at Managua, and ordering the
legation placed in the hands of the
consul, who will have mo- diplomatic
capacity, practically broke off dip
lomatic relations with that country.
Affairs in Central America have
been closely watched by the American
and Mexican governments, both of
which have now come to an under
standing that the time has arrived
when drastic measures should be en-
forced to insure peace in the Central
American republics. Ambassador
Labarra of Mexico spent some time at
the state department yesterday in con-
ference with Assistant Secretary Viii
son and a determination was reached
that if the American warships now in
Nicarguan waters and to be sent
there are not sufficient to impress Re
laya that the treaty of peace entered
into between the Central American re-
publics is not to be lived up to more
radical steps would be taken to ac-
complish that result. The impression
was given that. if need be, interven-
vention would be resorted to. The
governments of the United States
and Mexico, it was stated, are in full
accord as to- the policy to be pursued
in Nicaragua and are now anticipating
Zelaya's further moves.

mittee of finance will begin a syste-
matte study of the new tariff bill as
soon as copies are obtained. They
feel the importance of pressing the
measure to- a speedy determination
and Senator Aldrich, as chairman of
the committee, has said that he would
make an effort to have the bill report
ed as soon as possible after it's pas
sage by the house. The bill can not
be officially considered by the COM
mittee as a whole until after it has
been passed by the house and trans
ferred to the senate in the usual for
NAL manner.
1t is believed, however, that the
house will make few changes in the
bill after it is reported from the COM
mittee on ways and means.

NO AGREEMENT IN
MINERS MEETING
OPERATORS REFUSE TO REcoo-
NlzE UNITED MINE
WORKERS.
PRESIDENT LEWIS TO CALL !
MEETING FOR FURTHER
CONSIDERATION.

Philadelphia, March 13.-The con-
ference between the subcommittee of
the anthracite mine workers and the
operators to arrange a new agreement
to go into effect at the expiration CT
the present working arrangement,
ended late yesterday without results.
While the prospects are not as bright
as they were for peaceful settlement,
there is still hope that radical action
by either side may be avoided. The
executive boards will today issue a
call for a convention of miners of the
three anthracite districts to be held
for the purpose of considering plans
for further action and then will fol-
low another conference with the OPP
orators before March 81. A counter
proposition of the mining companies
to renew the present agreement for
another term Of three years will be
placed before the convention by the
executive boards of the workmen.
National President Lewis said after
the meeting that the suggestion for
another conference came from the
operators.
There was but one session of the
subcommittee yesterday. Following
the meeting, the following, agreed
joint statement was given out:
"A joint meeting of mine workers
committee and operators committee
came to an end this afternoon without
an agreement being reached. Mr..
Lewis made another clear statement
of the mine workers position. He
reviewed the various demands, giving
special emphasis to the question of
recognition He maintained that he
and his committee represented the or
ganized mine worke rs and that if not
recognized as representatives of the
organization they had no standing and
could not venture to sign a contract
which would bind anybody. He said
the committee was speaking strictly
in the interest of the anthracite dis
tricts and was not attempting to SUBJ
ordinate the anthracite to the bitum-
nous interests.
The operators repeated their in
tention to deal with the committee as
representatives of the anthracite mine
workers and not as officers of the I'M
ion. They renewed their offer to con
tinue the present agreement for a
term of three years, and this was
their final proposition. Lewis re-
quested that it be put in writing and
the operators answered that it could
be considered as an exact duplicate
of the one made in 1906. They called
attention to the number of page of
the minutes of the meetings in 1906,

LINE UP
FOR TARIFF FIGHT
DEMOCRATS WILL CONTEST FOR
INHERITANCE TAx-oPPosE
COFFEE DUTY.
REDUCTION OF IRON ORE RATES
GENERALLY AGREED
UPON.

Washington, March 13.-Democrat
in the house will oppose the estab-
lishment of a duty On coffee and the
provision of the new tariff bill for the
establishment of a stamp tax on
checks, bonds, and stocks. If the re-
publicans do not provide for an in
heritance tax in the new bill, the
democrats declare they will fight to
have an amendment made which
would assess a tax on Iegacies and,
it is said, would in this way embarrass
the republicans on account Of the
recommendations of Presidents Roose-
welt and Taft.
Representative Underwood, of Ala
bama, who is a minority member OF
the ways and means committee, de-
clared yesterday that if the duties i'm
posed by the tariff are determined on
la revenue basis, there would be no
need for taxing the breakfast table
or imposing a stamp tax. He said
that inheritances offer the best means
for making up the deficit in the treas
ury and that if the new bill contained
provision for such tax, neither the
duty on coffee nor on beer need be
increased.
One of the provisions of the bill
which many republicans as well as
democrats are likely to attack, is that
taking off the duty on iron ore. The
Dingley bill imposes a rate of 40
cents on iron ore and on those impor-
tations in 1907, the duties collected
amounted to more than $500, 900. The
placing of iron ore on the free list
was advocated by John w. Gaines and
numerous foundry and furnace con-
Germs of the east and the Pacific
coast.
Representatives of the iron mining
interests in Lake Superior, Messaba
and Adirondack regions were favor
able to a reduction of Is to rs per
cent. in the duty on iron ore if it
was proposed to make general down
ward revision of the tariff. The ma
tional grange favored the placing of
iron ore on the free list as being in
line with the idea of conserving the
natural resources of the country.

NUMBER Al

upon which the proposition appeared.
1T was understood that another con-
ference would be held after Lewis and
ibis committee presented the operaf
Iors' proposition to the convention of
mine workers.
During the discussion, Mr.. Lewis
|says. several operators again referred
to the statement made in the confer
ence yesterday that some of the coal
companies had been considering the
advisability of asking all the compau-
les to agree upon a 10 per cent. re-
|duction in wages because of indus
trial conditions instead of to think
|of an increase. Lewis further said
it was not made as suggestion nor
as a threat, but was mentioned, the
operators told him, as showing how
some. companies felt in regard to pres
ent mining conditions Mr.. Lewis
told them, he said, that the mine
workers would not think of consider.
ing such a proposition if it were ever
made
The miners, last night, had nothing
to say as to the probable action of the
tri-district convention.
The miners leader, before the con-
ference, stated positively that the min
|ers' representatives would not sign
an agreement unless it explicitly pro-
|vides for the recognition of the United
mine workers of America 1t also, he
said, must be signed by the miners as
Officers of the union and not as rep
resentatives of the anthracite mine
work ers. If the miners support him
in his attitude, it looks as if there will
be no agreement, as the operators,
Isince 1900, have been unalterably op-
posed to a recognition of the miners
Organization.
There is a possibility of the men
continuing to work without an agree
ment and striking at the various col
Iliers as grievances come up, If they
are not adjusted by the superintend-
ents of these mines. This, it is point
ed out, would be a return to the cha
otto conditions that prevailed prior TO
the strike of 1902, when there were
strikes every day in all sections of
the anthracite regions making the
amountof coal produced from day 70
day uncertain.

LAW OF
SELF DEFENSE
JUDGE ANDERSON DECLARES
ROBIN COOPER HAD RIGHT
TO KILL cARMAck.

Nashville, Tenn, March 13.-Judse
James M. Anderson began his argu
ment in the Cooper trial yesterday
Judge Anderson is chief counsel for
the defense. Strangely enough he
was close personal friend and polit-
ieal supporter of Senator Carmack
Only once did Judge Anderson refer
tc Colonel Cooper as "the old soldier"
and not once did he appeal to the
sympathies of the jurors. He boldl-
disclaimed any idea of pleading tt
any editorial or speech could just
the Staying of Carmack and declar
that his clients case rested solidl,
and alone upon the first law implant-
ed in all living beings-the law OF
selr-preservation.
The law gave them this right" he
declared, whether Colonel Cooper
had threatened Carmack's life or not.
And even if Robin Cooper had gone
over there and struck Senator Car
mack in the face with his open hand
he would have had legal and moral
right to have killed him, if the senator
attempted to draw revolver
Anderson declared that this was
the law, that he quoted it merely to
show how strongly the courts protect
the right of self defense and to make
manifest Robin Cooper's relu.:-
lance to shoot until he had himself
been shot Judge Anderson will con-
tinue his arguments today.
