news from Akaroa, \. T., that Capt.
Robt. +. Scott, the British Antarctic ex-
plorer, had failed to reach the South
Pole up TO the time his ship, the Terra
Nova, had sailed north from McMurdo

throughout the British Isles today be-
cause the belief had begun to grow
that Scott and his men had been lost
within the Antarctic circle.
The long wait for news, which was
made all the more unaccountable be-
cause Capt Amundsen, the Norwegian

Japanese expedition, had found no
trace of the English expedition on

Certified Accounts.
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Indict-
ments were returned today by the Dis
trict of Columbia grand jury, C. G..
Elliott and A. B. Morehouse, recently
dismissed officials of the bureau OF
drainage, department of agriculture,
who are alleged to have certified
false accounts covering drainage pro-
jects in 1909.
Indictments also were returned
against S. E. Singleton, an account
ant in the drainage bureau, recently
suspended by Secretary Wilson, and
r. T. Peele, former accountant in the
division of irrigation, who is now en-
ployed in the census bureau. Single

1t Is Quite Probable that This
Important Convention Will
Be Awarded to Richmond
This Month.
COUNTY DELEGATES
TO BE NAMED SOON
Ward and Township Meet
ings Will Also Appoint
Delegates to the Republi-
can State Convention.

In all probability there will be but
one more call issued this year by Re-
publican county chairman Robbins for
ward and township meetings. The last
of these meetings will serve two pur-
poses-for the election of delegates
to the state convention and for dele
gates to the congressional convention.
The state convention is to be held
for the purpose of adopting a state
platform and for nominating candi-
dates for the following state offices:
governor, lieutenant governor, secre-
tary of state, auditor of state, treas
urer of state, attorney-general, repor-
ter of the supreme court, superinten-
uent of public instruction, state sta
tistician, one judge of the Supreme
court for the first district, one Judge
to the supreme court for the fourth
district, and one Judge to the appellate
court for the first district
County Chairman Robbins stated to-
day that he had not been informed
when the state convention would be
held. AS to the congressional con-
vention Mr.. Robbins said that nothing
would be done until District Chairman
Meredith had called a meeting of the
eight county chairman of the Sixth dis
trict to set date and name place
for the holding of this convention.
However, it is likely that the con.
| vention to nominate a Republican can.
didate for Congress will be held in this
city.
Republicans all over the district are
studying over the question of a con
gressional nominee. They realize that
| it will require an exceptionally strong
candidate to snatch the victory from
| Finly H. Gray, the present incumbent
who is Democrat
| So far no one has announced his
tcandidacy for the nomination but the
names of a number of prominent Re
publicans are mentioned in this con
nection, among them Charles w. Jor
dan, secretary of the local Commercial
club.
1t is said that almost every county
in the district will put forth candi
date for the nomination.

strike of 100000 anthracite miners is
! in full swing. The last of the men to
go out left the mines at midnight. The
hard coal industry is at standstill
today but the first actual day of the
strike will not come until tomorrow,
today being miners holiday in cele-
bration of the S-hour workday Not a
machine in the collierie was at. work
today except the engines running
pumps, which keep the interior of the
mines from being flooded. The rules
OF United Mineworkers of America
permit engineers and firemen and re
pair men to remain on duty in strike
times.
The union threw Gordon of ef-piekets
around the mines with orders to re-
port to local headquarters If any of
the miners attempted to return to
work.
Reports received here from through
out the field stated that the suspen-
sion was complete. This gave great
satisfaction to union leaders who de-
clared the men will be able to present
a firm front no matter how long the
struggle lasts.
The real test of the order of Presi-
dent j. p. White of the United Mine
workers of America, to see if any OF
the hard coal miners were not mem
bers of the union, will try to remain
at work will come tomorrow. Strike
leaders say the mining industry will
remain at standstill until President
White gives the order for the men to
return to the mines.

union by thousands. they claim.
Today marked the passing of the
Roosevelt coal compact of 1902.
Beginning early in the day, a stream
of imported miners poured into the
district. Independent operators and the
smalled companies who were chiefly
responsible for the importations, said
that the men We're to be used as
guards and that they were not strike
breakers. Despite these assurances the
union workmen kept the strangers un

Rice was knocked down with a club
and his assailants kicked him and
trampled in his face.
Most OF those arrested had taken
part in street fights. The opening of
