MINERS HEAD
SAYS SHUTDOWN
PRESIDENT WHITE SEES A
CHANCE THAT WORKERS MAY
ONLY SUSPEND.

CLEVELAND, o., Mar. 2S.-"We
can only report to the anthracite min
ers that negotiations have failed and
hat in itself makes it clear to the
men that they are not to work after
March 81" President John P. White,
of the United Mine Workers declared
today
Even if we reach an agreement in
the bituminous fields when we re-
sumo the conference with the opera.
tors Tuesday, it Is doubtful II we can
make it effective in time to avoid a
suspension April L." White continued
'The situation is extremely criti-
cal 1t is clear that no settlement is
in sight to keep the $4,000 anthra-
cite miners at work, the New York
negotiations having been broken off
and no renewal of conference offered.
But the adjournment of the bitumi-
nous conference here until Tuesday
indicates there may be hope that the
$4,000 soft coal miners may avoid a
strike or even prolonged suspen-
sion after April l."

STATE IN AMOUNT ON
DEPOSIT.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 22.-The
postoffice department issued a state,
hlent today concerning the result Of
the operation of the postal savings

vorable showing, as shown in the fol-

there were "a postal savings deposit
tories in Tennessee with deposits
amounting to nearly 100000 This
depositors or an average of approx
imately $S4 per depositor Since the
opening of postal savings deposito-
rles in Tennessee there have teen
approximately 1900 accounts opened
and 1900 deposits or an average or
more than two deposits to each de-
positor and 1900 Withdrawals, or an
average of less than one to each de-
positor. AS compared with number
of depositors and amount on derosit
with other states, Tennessee ranks
Seth in number of accounts remain
ing open January 81 and ranks eth
in total amount remaining on depos-
1t, showing that as compared with 9TH
er states the average amount of the
credit Of each depositor is slightly

TO SURRENDER
MOUNTAINEERS
JACK ALLEN WILL GIVE THEM
UP IF HIS SONS LIFE Is
SPARED.

HILLSVILLE, Va, Mar. 27.-'Give
my boy, Fred, his LIE, save him from
the electric chair, and l will surren-
der him to the law, as we'll as my
brother, Sidna, and my nephews,
Claude Allen and Wesley Edwards,
inside of five hours.
MY kinsmeL are whole lot to
me, but the boy is my own flesh and
tlooo. I'll do anything to keep him
from a murderer's DEATH"
This message, according to a re-
port widely circulated today, was
sent in from the mountains by Jack
Allen, who did not take part 10 the
court house slaughter of two weeks
ago, but has been acting as the head
of the clan since it's chieftain, Sidna,
took to the wilds, and it patriach,
Floyd, was placed in the Roanoke
jail
Jack declared through his messen-
ger, the story had it, that he knows
the mountain fastness where ethe flu
gltives have been hiding and that he
was willing to lead the posse OF
mountain scouts directly to the place
tonight If his proposition was accept
ed.
The officials here, before replying
to this proposition. are said to be try,
ing to learn just how much evidence
there rs against Fred; whether or not
his bullets were responsible for the
death of any of the five persons who
fell before the fusillade from the des-
peradoes' AIS. If there is no posi-
tive evidence that he killed anyone
the answer probably will be Yes,
bring them in and Fred may live"

SENATOR LEA
TO SPEAK
WILL LEND HIS EFFORTS TO-
WARDS GUSHING SEATOR
STEPHENSON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 2S.--
Senator Luke Lea will speak this
afternoon on the Stephenson case.
1t is said the Senator will take the
position that, in view of the fact that
the primary in Wisconsin settled the
election of Senator Stephenson and
was directly responsible for it, that
it is within the province of the SEN
ate to inquire into the primary. He
will insist that the senate has the
right TO inquire and take notice of
the methods employed in that prima-
ny and the immense sum of money!
expended in it by Senator Stephen
son. The Senator will point to the
fact that Stephenson money was
spent to elect members to the legis-
}ature who subsequently voted for
Stephenson. To ,substantiate that
the primary elected Senator Stephen
son, and not the legislature, Senator
Lea, it is said, will point to the fact
that thirty members of the legisla-
ture out Of total of sixty-three vot-
ing for Stephenson voted against tho
local instructions from their home
counties, which went for others, in
order to inspect the state primary re-
suit and abide by it.

In CELLAR
AFFAIR in WEST
NASHVILLE PUZZLES THE
OFFICERS.

NASHVILLE, Mar. 2S.-Mrs. G. w.
Hayes. 80, living in Illinois street,
West Nashville, came to her death
suddenly and mysteriously late yes
terday afternoon. She was found
gasping her last breaths about 7
O'Clock by her little 7-year-old daagh-
ter Lizzie.
When found Mrs. Hayes was lying
on the floor of the cellar at her home.
Her clothing was disarranged, and
the indications were that she might
have met with foul play. Near her
body was hot water bottle.
The screams of the little girl at
tracted the attention of John Hobbs,
Robert Reeves and other neighbors
These called Deputy Sheriff J. l..
Bragg at the county jail who mott
fed Deputy Coroner B. F. Carter, Jr.,
of Belleview Mr. Carter came to
the city on train, arriving at $3.50
o'clock. Accompanied By six officers
he hurried to the Hayes home, but
before he arrived the body of the wo-
man had been moved, throwing con-
fusion into the situation.
Coroner Carter examined the body
of Mrs. Hayes and found evidence
poisoned, either by herself or some
other person. Her lips were scared
as II burned by strong acid. other
officers are inclined to think the con-
iition might have been caused by
treatment for fever blister.

HORSES BURNED
AT TULLAHOMA
WITH LIVERY BARN OF THE
ROBERTS-MAxWE
LEY CO.

TULLAHOMA, Tenn, Mar. ga
spectacular fire took place here this
morning about 8 o'clock, when the
sale and livery barns of the Roberts
Maxwell-Tinsley Co., on Atlantic
street We're ntirely consumed. The
fire was discovered by Messrs. By
rom and Strawn, who occupied the
front part of the mammoth barn as a
feed and livery stable, while the bal
ance OF the barn and sheds Were U.s.
ed by the Roberts Maxwell Tinsley
Co. for stock pens and storage of
feed.
Messrs. Byron and Srawn were
sleeping up stairs above the offices of
the stables and when aroused were
surrounded by fire. The room was
on fire above and below them and the
ted on which they were sleeping was
ablaze with only their night clothing
on they bounded through the flames
to the floor below and thus reached
safety.
The two men saw that there was
chance to unloose the horses In
the stalls, so with rare presence Of
mind they went from stall to stall lib
srating the frightened horses and
driving them before them to the rear
door. The men also opened the mule
pens and rushed he mules out the
back door just as the roof Of the
burning building was falling in.
The horses being liberated gallop-
ed around the square and endeavored
to re-erter the flames, but we're driv-
en- away by the crowd which had
gathered to fight the fire. Two of
the horses crazed by fright took down
the railroad track and were killed by
an incoming freight train. Mr.. By
rom suffered several burns, bat none
of them are serious. Mr.. Strawn es-
capped entirely.

UNITED STATES CONSIDERING
CLAIMS AGAINST MEXICO
FOR DAMAGES.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2S.-Wheth-
er the state department shall De re-
quired to press American claims
against the Mexican government for
Injuries and loss of property sustain
ed during the revolution will he de-
termined Friday by the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs.
Assistant Secretary of State Hun
tington Wilson has been asked to Ire
sent the state departments side Of
the question, the department having
referred all claims to the Mexican
commission and to the Mexican
courts.
Texas congressman are incensed
by this ruling of the department and
will hold conference with Mr.. Will
son before the meeting of the Foreign
affairs committee. They assert that
all foreign governments whose citi-
zens suffered loss or injury during
this revolution are pressing the Mex
lean government for settlement of
claims in behalf of their citizens
Representative Smith, of Texas, in
troduced resolution requesting this
government to adopt like course,
especially in regard to such claims
as have arisen from injury and loss
sustained by American citizens while
pursuing their usual avocations on
American soil. These were OCCASION
ed by stray shots of Mexican SOL
diers which resulted in two deaths,
seven wounded persons and property
loss.
The warning Of President Taft that
American citizens should keep out of
the danger zone, issued at the time
does not warrant the attitude of the
state department, in the opinion OF
Mr.. Smith, in refusing to assist Amer
lean citizens to recover damages. He
holds that Americans Cannot get JUS
tice from the Mexican courts or COM
missions when acting as individuals
and without the assistance of the
government. They have not the mon
ey to press their cases and could not
so to Mexico City with their Witness
es.
Representative Garner, member
OF the foreign affairs committee, fore
ed an executive session of the com
mittee today to consider the resolu-
ton and announced that he would
force immediate action on it as the
Mexican government was showing no
disposition to settle American claims
while speedily adjusting the claims
Of citizens of other foIe1g countries
