Miners Cease
 Their LabOrs
WORK MAY BE STOPPED ONLY 4
 FEW WEEKS.
DIFFERS FROM STRIKE
Men Win Be Left in Mines to Protect Them Against Floeding-Referendum Vote of sftpnainsus Miners.

Indianapolis, Ind, March SL--No a1lA thracite or b4tuminoUs coal will be taken from the mines of the country tomorrow by union miners. as 8 result of the suspension which went into ef- feet at midnight tonight, due to differ enees Oyar wages. More than 4oG, ,000 miners, about 159 ,0o9 in the anthracite Reld and 25Gy090 in the bituminous, will take a vacation, which probaibly will last only & few wsei0s The eessaSion of work will be different from a strike in that the miners will leave pump men and others at work to protect the mines from flooding or other treu- ble due to 8 shutdown Of the plants.
 Vote by Soft Coal Miners.
 The bituminous miners will be out only long enough for the wage agree ment, which was reached in Cleveland to be ratified by the miners by refer endum vote, for 1t Is believed the agreement will be sanctioned by a large majority of the men. The sus- pension in the anthracite mines will be of longer duration, as no agreement has yet been reached between the min CTS and operators
 Over Two Weeks Required for Vote. Ballots for the referendum vote by the b1tuminOuS miners, it Is said, will be sent out from the national miners headquarters in this city as soon as the national president, John P. White. and the other officials return here from Cleveland. It will take more than two weeks to take the vote, because not all of the locals meet every week.
 Anthracite Settlement Expected.
 Now that the bituminous miners and operators have agreed on a wage con- tract for the next two years, 1t is be- lieved the controversy in the anthra- cite fields soon will be settled when the miners and operators get together in Philadelphia The demands made by both branches of the coal miners were somewhat similar, and 1t is thought the anthracite forces will com promise on practically the same terms as have been agreed to in the bttum- ineus industry.
 Southern Miners May Work. The suspension does not affect all of the mines in the south, as the union is not 50 strong south of the Ohio river as it is in the northern states. It is said the miners will lose s1.000, 600 ev- cry day they remain out, and that the suspension will cause a loss in coal production to the country of nearly i A 900 eQ4 tons a month.

JURY IN SUGAR TRUST
 CASE DEADLOCKED
Uncertain Whether Government Will
 Seek New Trial of Maenates.

New York, March 31-There was
 doubt tonight whether or not the gov-
 ernment would seek a new trial of the
 case Of John k. Parsons, Washington
 B. Thomas, George H. Frazier and
 Arthur Donner, upon whose guilt or in-
 noCence of the charge of criminal vio-
 lation of the Sherman law while direc-
 tors of the American Sugar Refining
 company the jury was unable to agree.
 District Attorney Wise said today
 that he was not in a position to out
 line the governments course as yet but that 8 conference on the matter
 would be held tomorrow. He had no further statement to make at this
 time.
 Delancey Niuoll, chief counsel for the defense, said that in spite of the dis
 agreement reported at an early hour ] this morning, after more than 13 hours deliberatton, he regarded the result of the trial as a practical vindication of his clients. While differing reports
 current today wero that the jurors stood 9 to and 10 to for acquittal.
 MT NicolI said that only one out of the 12 voted for conviction.
 The trial of the defendants on the charge of having conspired criminaIly in arranging for loan to the Penn sylyania Sugar Refining company. ac- quiring control of that concern and 1 then closing il down, It was alleged, to stif1e competition, had occupied nearly 1 three weeks time. The case was given to the jury shortly after noon yester- | day. It was nearly 1.30 o'clock this
 morning when the jury sent note to 1 the United States district court an- nouncving it's inability to agree. Judge Hand promptly sent for them When | the foreman repeated in court that inc 1 jury was deadlocked Judge Hand dis charged the jurors All of the defend
 ants except the aged MT. Parsons were
 in court when the jury filed in.

exceptional weather conditions as AmUndsen, few doubted his success.
 Now comes the disappointing news that Scott is spending another winter Tn the Antarctic and there will be further weary waiting before it can be known whether he even succeeded in req ching the pole. According to some of Captain Scotts intimate friends here. however, no surprises need be felt at his decision to spend another winter in the south. this hav- Ing been within the original scope of lls intentiops. They suggest that he may have learned of Anundsen's eN- ploir, and tbereupon determined to at- tempt a great journey across the ice barrier, returning rom the side almost opposite to that from which he started bis journey.
 IT tEis is so, the Terra Nova prob ably received instructions to meet Scout at some fixed date at a point on tho barrier opposite Graham land, no far to the south of Cape Horn. It Win be remembered that the German explorer, Lieutenant FlcheE is 0per- ating from that side, and in that case possibly the two parties may meet.
 Another winter, which the advices from New Zealand say Captain Scott has decided to spend in the Antarctic, will make two years that the Scott party will have worked in the South Polar region. It was on June 1, 1910, that his party, consisting of five len tenants in the British navy, 23 Sclen- tisLs and 27 picked sailors. sailed on the old whaler Terra Nova, from Lon don. Captain Scott joined the ex- pedtJion in New Zealand the following fall, and or November 29, 1910, the pole unters sailed from Portchalmers, New Zealand, for the Antarctic They thought at the time that they were the only party headed for the southern goal, mace the more coveted by Eng land because of the American dlsCOV- cry of the North pole
 Captain Scott had spent many Of his 43 years in study of the polar re- gions, and when he set out for the south this time he had the experience cf two previous expeditions to fall back uI on In one of them he reached his furthest south at S2 degrees, IS minutes and 33 seconds, in 1902, but he vas obliged to put hack on account of the failure of the dog teams.
 Profiting by that experience and by the success which Sir Ernest Shackle- ton had later in getting further south Scott took twenty Siberian ponies ana three motor sledges on the present ex- petition, as well as dogs. The sledges had been tried out in Norway and found practicable.
 The original hope was to reach the pole by Christmas 1911. and to return to civilization in March of this year.
