committed the crime.
Because OF the nature OF the clues
they can not be given in detail in pub

However, it may be said that the off,
GERS are confident that they have fer

following Sunday.
Yelled in Mystery
Thus far neither the murdered

victims name Will never be known,
but the officers are hopeful of having
the murderer in custody within Q very
short time. Their quest will lead than

alleged murderer is p young man who
mas worked in Waterloo factories.
Because the clothing of the victim
OF the murderer's wrath was missing,
there was no possible way of ascer-
tanning who he was unless some one
who called TO view the body should
recognize his features. Many per-
sons called at the undertaker's but
none knew him. The body was in bad
condition when found and could not
be kept long It was buried after the
inquest. and the young mans fate and
his resting place will probably forever
be unknown to his relatives.

are:

Admitting acetyline lamps in mines.

mines for illumination.
No thawing Of dynamite while men

In concluded MS report Mr. Rnys
said:
Our state may not be able to truly
boast Of its many rich veins Of coal

or in its total production Of coal: nor
have we reached that point vet where

Interesting Debate.
with the election of a secretary
the first spicy part OF the business
session was reached. The Rev. A. J.
Meaders, of Trenton, Tenn. has off,
ciated as secretary for 16 sessions
and he was the unanimous choice
of the delegates when his name was
placed I'm nomination without oppo-
sition. Before his election, how
ever. Mr.. Meaders arose and read a
grievance. Until the last confer
ence the secretary had compiled and
published the minutes. having charge
OF the financial arrangements. How
ever, at the conference at Green
field. Tenn, last year the rule was
changed so that the publishing of
the minutes was placed in the hands
of the Joint finance board. Mr..
Meaders said that he considered 1t a
reflection and he declined to accept
the seeretaryship under the condi-
ton.
All the delegates were surprised
and Immediately statements were
made. declaring that IL was not the
intention to reflect upon Mr.. Mead
ers and explaining that II was solely
for business reason. W. S. Coul-
ter. chairman OF the board, said that
II was not a reflection. G.. w. Will
son. w. A. Freeman and J. II. Rob
erts gave assurance that IL was not
intended as a reflection upon Mr..
Moaders. Mr.. Wilson made a mo-
ton that the grievance be referred
to the Joint finance board. provided
that Mr.. Meaders would accept the
temporary secretaryship. b. S. Pee
pies made the motion that the for
mer rule be restored and the secre-
tary have charge of the financial ar
rangements. This received a sec
ond. Dr. w. T. Boiling opposed the
motion, stating that II would be
