No fixed programme has been made for the former Presidents stay in Naples. IL Is probable he will hold an informal re- ception at the Excelsior hotel, where a suite of rooms have been engaged for himself and family and that he will visit the studio of Sculptor Chiaremonte to Inspect bust of the late Marion Craw- lord, the novelist, which Mrs. Crawford intends to present to him
 Dr. Walter Wolver, the German consul here, expects to call on Mir Roosevelt to pay his personal respects. He denies a report that he will transmit a special message from Emperor William asking MT. Roosevelt if he was correctly quoted Tn saying he did not hang on to the fringes of departed glories.'
 Dozens of newspaper correspondents from all the countries of Europe have ar- rived here. A majority of the writers expect to continue with Mir. Roosevelt un- til he sails for the United States, which is accepted as an evidence the remarkabl interest taken In his tour of Europe.

Operators and Miners Are Preparing for Conferences
 on the Wage Question
KNOTTY PROBLEMS ARE
 GIVEN FOR SOLUTION
In Many Localities Temporary Arrange- menfs Are Made 10 Carry on Mine Work Hut Numbers of the
 Miners Are Idle

Indianapolis. Ind, April 1.--Notwith- standing that today was a stated holi- day of the union miners of the United States in celebration of the eight-hour workday, the miners leaders and the operators associations in the bituminous coal fields were busy with preparations for conferences in which it is hoped set dement's on new wage contracts will be reached that will speedily bring resump- tion of activity in the mines.
 Negotiations in the southwest. in Illi- nois and western Pennsylvania probably will be prolonged, for not only do some of the operators maintain that they can not afford to pay the wage increase of 5 cents a ton demanded by the miners, but certain knotty problems of mine operation are in controversy.
 In Iowa. western Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and central Pennsylvania the miners and operators seemed in a fair way to- night to come to an agreement meeting the miners stipulation for higher wages in few days.
 In many localities temporary arrange ments for continuing work in the mines were formulated.
 Pending the signing of permanent two- year contracts. however, between 250,000 and 300,000 miners will be idle.

Mississippi Is Aroused Over the Bribery Charges
MANY WITNESSES CALLED
Investigators But He Maintains His Charge That DuIaney
 Paid the Money

Jackson, Miss, April 1.-tSpecial)- Interest in the senatorial investigation of Senator Bilbos charges of bribery against L. c. Dulaney continues to grow rather than wane and little else IS talked about or discussed in Jackson. The senate held two long and stren- uous secret sessions today and tonight, and while no reporters are admitted it is easy to get something like what
 is done as leaks are plentiful and tol- erably large.
 Senator Bilbo was put through terrific process of cross-questioning to- day. the examination being conducted by Senator Leftwich, who is determined, as are others, to see that this disgrace ful matter is cleared up. MT. Bilbo was made to repeat his story of his "det ective work" during the late sena : torial contest and to tell over and over tust how he got the $645 from MT. Dulaney. A white woman or two are made to figure prominently. and the final negotiations took place, accord ing to MT. Bilbo. in the house of a notorious negro woman.
 The case against MT. Dulaney was called in the circuit court, but passed over till another day because of tn e defendants absence at the senate in- vestigation.
 The city is full of prominent cit izens from over the state, most of them subpoenaed as witnesses for one or the other side to the most interesting polit- ioal fight ever experienced in Missis- ippi.
 The night session developed nothing new. Rev. s. B. Culpepper was re- called to the stand and Rev. B. l.. Mitchell. pr. H. J. Arlidge and w. M.
 Hyde all of Poplaiville, Bilbo's home town, were examined as character wit nesses for Bilbo, giving him a good name. it is said. The senate adjourned Its executive session at 10 o'clock.
