DETECTIVES TURN
 HERE IN SEARCH
 FOR RICH YOUTH
Son of Lumberman Strangely Missing -Fiancee's Father
 Directs Hunt

Dispatches from New York, today, indicate that the search for William Carson Long, has turned to Bridge port, where detectives believe he may be visiting friends.
 Long is the twenty-five year old son of Frederick K.. Long. a million aire and former lumberman who lives in Chicago, who disappeared on March 5 from North Yakima, Wash, where he worked for the Cascade Lumber Company.
 The search for the missing young man is being directed by Eugene Shaw of Eau Claire, Wis, whose daughter Geraldine. is young Longs fiancee Miss Shaw was graduated from Vassar College last year.
 Longs father and mother have been on trip to Panama and are due in Chicago, via New Orleans, today. They have not yet been notified of their sons disappearance because Mrs. Long is an invalid. A private detec- tive agency has been engaged to hunt for the young man, and MT. Shaw has offered reward for news of his whereabouts.
 There is only one possible clue to Longs disappearance, according to that he took several headache pow ders on the day he disappeared, and 1t is thought that these powders may have affected his brain
 Long is twenty-five years old, six feet two inches tall, weighs ITO pounds. smooth shaven, has dark hair and complexion, and brown eyes. He sweater of gray, and in his pocket was a gold watch with hunting case. engraved with. his initials on the back and his name on the inside.

POSITIVELY REFUSE TO
 CONTINUE
Soft Coal Miners Are De- cided Upon One Point AND THAT IS TO QUIT
 WHEN AGREEMENT ENDS
"We Are As Far Apart As Ever,'' Said President
 White, Today
tspecia, from United Press.)

Cleveland, March 22-Admitting their only weapon with which to enforce their demands was the 'etie-up', the committee of union miners now con- ferring with the operators positively refused today to agree to a 'continua- 'tilon of work when the existing agree ment expires.
 The sub committee representing both sides threshed over the disputed points and, when the afternoon recess was taken, admitted no material progress had been made. Neither side was discouraged and the hope that some way of settlement would be found was evident.
 we agreed on nothing, and are as far apart. as ever,' said President White of the miners, as he left the conference, "but we will keep polking away until both sides become convinc- ed there is no hope. We realize the seriousness of the situation and no nasty action will be taken.''
 Cleveland, March 22-In last des- perate attempt to prevent a nation wide soft coal strike, the GA operators and miners delegates in conference here, turned over their powers today to a sub-scale committee consisting of but 16 members.
 
 smaller body of men could not rescue the situation from the complete dead lock into which it has been thrown by two days deliberations. This sub scale committee convened at a. m. today If it fails to agree, a gen. eral walkout at the mines on April l Is to be expected.
 Appointment of the sub-scale com- mittee came as a last resort after tho operators turned down practically every one of 13 demands being made by the miners. e
 Eight hours were given over to the discussion of the introduction of the rnine-run system of digging coal and at the e--d of that time the two fac tions Were still as far apart as at the beginning general vote was taken yesterday upon all the clauses and every clause, except one, was voted down. The one proposition sustained by tine operators was that any miner should be employed, regardless of race, creed or color.
 we expect that the sub-scale com mittee will reach some sort of an agreement" said Chairman J. c. Cole sen, an operator from Terre Haute, today. There are but 16 men around the table and they will get down to situation. There will be no steno- grapher present. Many men talk much more freely when they realize that their words are not being put in- to black and white. I think that by Saturday matters will have been pretty thoroughly threshed out by the sub-scale committee and they will then be able to discuss concessions. A vote will be taken on their findings and we will stand or fall by that vote."
 President John F. White, of the mine workers. was hopeful but he said any conclusion reached by the sub mittee would be referred to the min- CTS union.

FINDS BENSON DIED AT POST
 LIKE A HERO
Coroner PheIan Exonerates MotOrman From All Blame In Accident Which Cost
 Benson His Life
Equipment of Car Adequate and Accident Was Due to Fog. Recommendation About Cir cult Breakers

That Motorman Sven Svenson. or Stephen Benson, as he was called, stuck to his post and died like 8 hero when he might have saved himself, and that neither the motorman nor the Connecticut company is to blame for tffe fatal accident at Silver Sands, Milford. on March IS is in brief the findh.s of County Coroner John J. Phelan upon the case.
 Thick banks of fog, a driving wind and pouring rain were responsible for the accident, onscuring the view of Motorman Benson and preventing him from seeing the electric freight car that had stopped on the tracks ahead of him, until too late.
 tried to stop the car by reversing the power. but that a circuit breaker blew out and cut off his current, so that he could not slow down the car before the crash occurred. In this respect Coroner Phelan says:-
 while the equipment of Benson's car was, I am satisfied. modern and fully equal to that in general use, I regret. however, that there was not and ss not a device available to cause the overhead circuit breaker to re- main closed at the will of the motor
 
 gency and thus lessen the chances of collision, etc, and the frequence of injury and death that follows in its wake"
 In connection with Motorman Ben son. the coroner says in his finding:-
 "I find that Benson was a compet- ent motorman. that he was exercising such care in running his car at the time of and prior to the collision, as the necessity demanded and that he gave up his life in performing his duty when he could have saved him. additional Jeopardy to his passengers
 'I nr1 that his injury and death were the result of m unavoidable ac- cident and I am satisfied that said death was not caused br the criminal act, omission or carelessness of any other person or persons"
 Tests made in the presence of Cor oner Phelan and Engineer Elwel1 of the Public Utilities commission dem- onstrated the fact that it would have been impossible to stop the car by any means from the moment that Motorlnan Benson first sighted the car ahead of him, through the fog.
 According to the testimony of pas sengers it was difficult to see even 30 feet ahead. and Benson could not have possibly seen the car ahead more than 100 feet away. Allowing that as the distance, tests show that he could have stopped his car in the following methods: By emergency brake, in 130 feet: by air brake, 150 feet; by re- versing, 160 feet: by hand brake, 291 feet. In any case there would have been a crash.
 The crew of the freight car were exonerated of all blame, because it was shown that their car caught afire through electrical trouble and the moment that the crew stopped it, to investigate, the crash occurred, be- fore they had a chance to flag the approaching passenger car.

 Nankin, March 22.-Chinese suffra- gettes, today, attacked the assembly rooms, routed the statesmen from their desks and broke all the win dows in the building. The women were enraged because of the restric- tions which were placed upon them by the resolutions granting them the right of franchise.
 The officials were wholly unpre.. pared for the attack. A crowd of the building but attracted no especial attention. Before the assemblymen were aware of their presence they had crowded past the doorkeepers and were vigorously denouncing the representatives for discriminating against the vast majority of Chinese women by requiring an educational test for women voters.
 When the suffragettes were order ed from the building they made a rush at the assemblymen, pulling their hair and scratching their faces. Most of the solons hastily withdrew, leaving the women in complete con- trol. Chairs were hurled through the windows, desks were upset and the papers of the representative were torn up and thrown about the room. After completing the work of de- struction the women marched from the building, loudly demanding that they be given their rights.
 The outbreak is believe6 to have been melted. by American and Euro pean suffragettes. When the women reached the street they were attack ed by squad of police and a general fight ensued. The women were final Iy put to flight after several of their number had been arrested.

 Uniontown, Pa., March 22.-E1is face and body a mass of bruises and hoth arms dislocated, John s. Hardy, 19. today, tried to forget his pain in the knowledge that his father and an aged neighbor were saved from death by drowning. through his efforts.
 Hardy lives with his parents in the Laurel Ridge Mountains, near Devils Creek. Last night, the stream was a miniature Niagara. Early today the Hardy family heard cries for help. Charles V. Hardy. the father, and his son rushed from their home and saw a small hut in which William H. Mo- Dowell. 55, veteran of the civil war, lived, swept away by the flood. The old man was kneeling at the door of his hut praying.
 Father and son attempted to reach the hut with timbers when the fath- CT stopped and fell into the torrent. The son, with almost superhuman strength, rushed into the water and dragged him out and then dragged the old man to safety. He fell un- conscious on the bank of the stream. The two old men summoned aid and carried the young hero to safety.
