FIELDS ARE CONCERNED
The Annual Output of the Three States

Gives Employment to 10000 Miners
Midnight Tomorrow.

Cincinnati. March 3O.-While, as the
result Of the plan adopted by the coal
miners International convention yes
terday. there will be no countrywide
strike of the bituminous miners, Presi-
dent T. l.. Lewis of the miners de-
clared today just before leaving the
city for Indianapolis that "Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois will be completely
tied up" The miners in the two dis
tricts number 100000.
That means fight in the two larg-
est bituminous fields in the United
States. Pennsylvania's annual pro-
duction is 150,OOO,OOO tons and that of
Illinois is 5O,000,0OO tons. Ohio's pro-
duction is 35,00O,0O0 tons, giving en-
ployment to 10000 miners.
Under the plan adopted by the min
ers convention all mines will be idle,
as usual on April 1, which is holi-
day. the anniversary of the eight
hour day. Then no miners are to
return to work the next day unless
ordered to do SO by their district Off
cials. These officials are not allowed
to give that order unless all the mine
owners in the district or the SUBJ
district have signed UP the prelimin-
ary agreement adopted by the con-
vention. President Lewis said the
strike in the Canadian mines would
be delayed, even in the event of an
immediate disagreement, because of
the disagreement, because of the Can
adian law, which requires the miners
to give thirty days. notice of an in
tention to strike.

Lewis of the United Mine Workers,

A[[Ds BRANDED
As BRaE TAKER
Resigned in Time to Avoid Ex.
pulsion- Found u: Guilty by
....:... Committee

Albany, N. D., March 30.-Jotham
P. Aids went to his home in Norwich
last night. private 5acitizen, branded
as bribe taker by@his former COL
leagues in the senates and by his own
act no longer a member of that body.
Senator Conger, who filed the charges
against Aids stayed Aere to fight.
The battle that confronts Conger is
no longer to prove Ais charges. To
this extent theSsenate vindicated him
today when forty IL it's forty-nine
members voted that the charges had
been sustained. It 3B believed that
Conger went to thaaAenate prepared
to resign as soon AZ he received this
vlndication. However that may be,
he did not resign, and DEVELOPMENTS
make it likely that he will not do so.
The cause of this is a resolution
introduced by Senator Cobb, the ma
tority leader providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee to present
to the senate charges against Con-
ger. growing out of his connection
with legislation and the use of funds
to influence the members of the leg
islature or other persons with refer
ence thereto, Even Cmger's enc
mics admit that he is a fighter, and
the belief is that he will oppose this
attempt to deprive him of Office as
vigorously and with as free an ex-
penditure Of money as he attached
to Aids.
The Cobb resolution was referred to
the judiciary committee. 1t is en-
pected that the committee will report
1t promptly to the senate.
There seems to be no longer any
doubt that the present legislature
will conduct a general graft" inves-
tigation. With the Aids case out of
the way the question of a thorough
search into the dark alleys of past
legislative history lies unavoidably
before the Republican leaders.
Aids resignation closes his case.
All that the senate could have done
after sustaining the charges against
him. would have been to put him out !;
and such punishment his own act
forestalled. While bribery is crime
under the status. the allegations
against Aids concerned something
that occurred ten years ago and the
statute of limitations would prevent
any criminal prosecution.

whose proposal he characterized as
"the most absurd experiment in con-
stitution-making upon which any gov
ernment ever embarked."
1t would be madness, he said, to
adopt the changes which would re-
move all safeguards from the affairs
of finance.
He could not conceive a more in
auspicious moment for the suggestion
that the lords had exceeded their
powers in rejecting the money bill
than now, when everybody knew that
il the house of commons voted on the
merits of the budget without regard
to Interior issues like home rule, the
financial measures would be reject
ed.
Mr.. Balfour contended that the ex-
istence Of the house of lords was
more necessary than ever now, when
modern radicalism has revolutionary
ideals and aims upon which the peo-
pie should be consulted before their
final adoption"
Mr.. Balfour intimated that If this
really grotesque proposal" ever be-
came a law. the conservatives would
promptly remove it from the statute
books when they returned to power.
John E. Redmond, leader of the Ma
tionalists, congratulated Mr.. Asquith
upon the substance of his resolutions,
which he said would be supported
heartily by himself and his friends
He was glad that all reference to q
reform of the house of lords had been
dropped, for If the government had
proposed any plan of reform the Ma
tionalists could not have supported it.

PLANS A GREAT CASTLE
COUNT szECHENYI WILL NAME
HOME FOR HIS AMERI-
CAN WIFE.

Paris, March 30.-.Count. Ladislas
Szecheneyi was in Paris for several
days to consult the leading. French
architects. He is going to build in
Hungary a magnificent chateau, which
will carry down to future generations
the name and fame of his young
American wife.
The property on which the castle is
to be erected has been boght in I'm
war Comitat. 1t embraces ruined
castle. which is to be replaced by a
new one, which will stand on high
site to which there is an ascent of
1000 feet. On the grounds are a his
toric pilgrimage church, as we'll as
a venerable country inn, both of
which will be preserved. Within easy
reach are picturesque pineclad hills.
The new. castle will be. called the
Schloss Gladys, in compliment to the
lady whose money pays for it.
Parisians recall that Count Boni de
Castellane named his yacht Anna, and
that Prince Albert of Monaco, named
his Princess Alice, after their respec-
tive American wives, which fact did
not prevent matrimonial shipwreck.
They hope the Schloss Gladys may
bring better luck than the yachts.
The price paid for the estate was
$1.000,000, and the architects esti-
mate that the schloss will cost be-
tween $4,000.O0O and $5,000,OOO more,
If the sumptuous plans which the
count has selected are carried out.
Szechenyi's chief adviser has been M.
Redin, formerly architect Of the Lou
vvre. and now architect of the
chauteau of Fontainbleu. Redin built
the Petit Palais, the most beautiful
modern building in Paris. The count
also consulted M. de Nolhac, the cura-
tor of the palace of Versailles.
The Schloss Gladys will be in the
Hungarian style of architecture in all
its essentials, but the decorations and
comforts will be taken wherever
found. For instance, the garden of
Versailles will be copied. and there
will be duplicate of the famous
tepid bathing pools of Skibo castle.
Skinning Women.
American society women have a
new fad. Several we'll known leaders
of the society of New York are now
supposedly taking the rest cure, and
officially they are in strict retirement
in certain French retreats. In reality,
they are confined to their rooms in
various hotels. through having their
skin removed from their faces, necks,
and Inns. The process, which con-
tinues until a new skin has formed,
is slow and painful, but the result is
satisfactory.
Women who have been thus skinned
come out after twelve weeks with the
tender, rosy complexion Of a 4-year-
old baby. Nine. Adair, the beauty
doctor, who has gone to New York to
resltin Mrs. Katherine Clemmons
Gould, has left six American patients
in charge of her assistants. The
names of the prominent society wom-
en- are carefully concealed. and their
