8 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 3.-St.
Louis was chosen by the miners as
the convention city for 1911 at 2:30
o'clock this morning after a tumul-
tuous session resulting from one Of
the bitterest factional fights in the
history of the organization The con-
vention adjourned at 800 o'clock.
Indianapolis Toledo and Rochester,
N. Y, fought to secure next years
convention. The clash at the closing
session was caused by the airing of
grievances against officers of the
union and although these seemed
trivial in their nature, it will be nee,
essary to place many of the griev'
ances before the next annual con.
vention before they can be settled
A motion to lay the grievances be
fore the executive committee in or
der to stop discussion from the con
vention, was defeated. Some of the
delegates were in favor of postpon
ing the joint conference with the
operators at Toledo for another day
but this was defeated and the miners
leave today for Toledo.

YEGGMEN FORMED
NATIONAL GANG
Arkansas Judge Believes That the
Tramps are in Conspiracy for
Purpose Of Safe Robbery.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Feb. ST am
firmly convinced that there is ma
tional organization of yeggmen for the
purpose of locating bank, postoffice
and business house safes which may
offer inducements to the safe blower;
for handling such robberies and, in
case Of capture, for defending the
members in the courts This was
the language of Judge John HI. Rog-
ers, judge of the United States dis
trict court for the Western Arkansas
district, now in session in this city.
The language quoted was part of
the charge Of the judge to the federal
grand jury; and had especial signi-
ficance because of the fact that eight
defendants were charged, with per-
jury in the attempt to clear, by alibi,
the three leaders in the extensive
gang of safe blowers who have been
terrorizing the southwest the past
year The three men convicted at
the last term of court were Bell, Patt-
erson and Thompson, charged with
having robbed the postoffie safe at
Huntington, Ark, and implicated in
half a dozen other safe robberies in
the southwest. The eight perjury de
PENDANTS had sworn that the three
defendants were in McAlester the
night of the robbery; but it was posi-.
i lively proven that they were not.

HOLD AUTOPSY
THIS MORNING G
Doctors will Examine the Body of
Professor Vaughn to Determine
Cause of Death.

MONROE CITY, Mo, Feb. 3.-The
autopsy on the remains OF Prof. j. r.
Vaughn will be held at o'clock this
morning. Dr.. Harry Payne of Paris,
DR.. George Still of Kirksville, DR.. j.
W. Martin of kirksville and Dr..
Thorner of Monroe City will do the
work. DR. c. H. Dixon of Fulton will
be present on behalf of Mrs. Vaughn
The decision to proceed with an
autopsy was against the judgment Of
the jury. At 7:S1 o'clock last night,
the jury assembled for a night ses-
sion and the question of whether or
not an autopsy should be performed
was at once placed before it for de-
cision. The decision was promptly
rendered. 1t was to the effect that, in
the opinion of the jury, there was no
evidence that Professor Vaughn came
TO his death by poison administered
by himself or by other nartins. ard.
further. that the evidence was not suf-
fcient to justify an autopsy.
Coroner Wilson at once adjou. ned
the jury until February 10, and an
nounced that he would proceed with
an autopsy at s o'clock this morning.

American Men.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--Command-
er Robert e. Peary, discoverer of the
North Pole, has made proposition
to the National Geographical Society

American expedition will be on its
way to discover the unconQuered
South Pole next fall.
On behalf of the Peary Arctic club
of New York, Commander Peafy sug-
gested that the club and the Geo
graphical Society tit up joint expedi-
tion to reach the South Pole.
The Peary Arctic club, he said, In
making the offer at a dinner given by
DR.. Alexander Graham Bell to the
board of directors of the National
Geographical Society, would contribute
the steamship Roosevelt, which could
not be duplicated for s150,000, provid.
ed the National Geographical Society
would assume the responsibility for
the first $50 900 toward the cost OF the
expedition Commander Peary esti-
mated that the total cost would be
from $4,000 to 100000.

cember 81, 1911.
! 1t is believed that the society will
decide to accept the proposal
4 Commander Peary, however, said
that he could not conduct the expedi-
4 ton in person as the sledge work re-
fquired so much, physical exertion thai
q 1t needed a younger man than he to
j undertake it.
