There are approximately 10000 local
organizations of miners in the twenty
five districts of the United States and
Canada, according to the report. OF
these, approximately 400 are in dis
tricts 1, 5 and 7, the three districts en-
bracing the anthracite fields. The ex-

terry.


Boston, May 24.--StilI without any
tangible clue to work upon. the police
today resumed their efforts to uncover
the mystery surrounding the murder of
Lillian Jewar, who was found strangled
to death in her apartment in the South
End Monday. Police officers in plain
clothes secured the district where the
woman lived and interviewed many per-
sons in the hope of discovering who was
with the victim few hours before she
met her death.
Circumstances attending the manner
of the killing of Mrs. Jewar, have led the
police and Medical Examiner Leary to
believe that the crime may have been
committed by woman. The fact that
the woman's nostrils were stuffed with
pieces of string inclined them to think
that the deed was the work of a hysteri-
cal woman. After the victim had been
struck on the head with some club or in
strument indications are that a kimono
was stuffed into her mouth and she
was then strsngled with a towel. The
police definitely identified the body last
night and ascertained that Mrs. Jewar
was native of Bottswoodsville. Ex-
plot Bay, New Foundland. The body
remained in the City hospital morgue
awaiting a claimant and relatives have
been notified.

HOPE FOR
TARIFF BILLS
Senate viii Rush the House
Measures.
WOOL, REPORTED ADVERSELY
Action Due to Desire to End the Ses-
sion-Substitute Bill Being Pre-
pared by the Minor
REPORTED ADVERSELY

Washington, May 24.-That the tariff
bills which have passed the House VIII
be rushed to vote as speedily as the
Republican leaders can rush them was
the statement made this morning by
Senator Lodge following meeting OF
the finance committee. This commit
tee today ordered the Underwood WOOL
bill reported with an adverse recon-
mendation. A substitute will be pre-
sented probably within week. 1t is
apparent that two feelings are anlmat-
ing the Senate leaders, one the decision
to get an early adjournment, the other
the desire not, perhaps so strong-tu
send the tariff bills to the White House.
With the regular Republicans thus
minded, with the insurgents enthuslas-
tic for revision, and with assured Demo
cratic support for the schedules, Wash
ington today confidently expects tarift
legislation at last.
The question Of the appropriation bills
is bothersome one. One senator IS
quoted as saying that when they are
passed cit will be impossible to hold
the Senate five minutes" It is proba-
BILE, however. that appropriations bill
and tariff schedules viii be considered
together SO that there will be no dam
ger OF bolt" on the one hand, or OF
the failure Of the supply bills on the
other.
Senator Shoots presentation OF the
wool bill with an adverse recommends
ton caused a lively little debate in the
Senate. The Utah senator said in max
ing his report that the committee, or
rather the majority members, might Of
fer a substitute bill. AT this point Sen
ator Hepburn rose and protested against
this promise to report bill which ~
not vet formulated. This causes an
impression, continued Mr.. Hepburn,
that the Republican party is going to
make revision of the wool schedule"
Senator Smoot then modified his first
statement by saying that the majority
members reserved the right" to report
bill.
Senator Lodge supported Senator
Smoot and said, 81 don't understand
that any promise has been made. A
substitute is being considered and we
reserve the right TO report it,"
Senator Hepburn, however, continued
to protest This brought Senator PEN
rose, chairman of the committee, to his
feet with the remark, at is the hope
that we will be able, if the limited
time at our disposal permits, to bring
in bill based on the report of the tar.
iii board.
At this point Senator Bailey spoke up
from his back seat and thus clarified the
situation: "The truth is that ma.
iority of the members of the finance
committee are willing to confess that
the Payne Aldrich bill needs revision
and that the senator from Idaho does
not agree with them"
That expresses my view exactly,
said Senator Hepburn.

REPORT WILL SCORE
CAPTAIN OF TITANIC

Tuesday.

Washington, May 24.-The Senate
committee on commerce yesterday con-
Isidered the report on the Titanic dis
Iaster. which the committee will sub
init to the Senate next Tuesday. 1T
win be a sweeping arraignment OF con.
Iditions under which the great vessel
swept through the iceberg area 70 her
doom with its immense loss of lie.
1t is understood the report Will Sc
verely criticise Captain Smith OF the
Titanic, as mainly responsible Tor the
disaster because OF failure to heed the
warnings of other vessels, the British
Board of Trade for lax inspection, ana
j. Bruce Ismay, who was passenger,
and will point to the lack OF discipline
In the time of danger. Captain Lord
of the Californian will figure in the re-
isponsibility because of failure to take
necessary steps when near the Iitanle.
Congress is asked to reward Captain
.Rostron OF the rescue ship Carpathia
and legislation will be asked as the re-
suit of the conclusions announced in
the report. A general bill is being draft
ed by Senator Smith.
The report will criticize the White
Star line company for its course as to
giving out information on the day OF
the disaster. With some notifications,
in view of the excitement, 1t Will crltl-
Icize the indifference of some OF those
on board the life boats toward those
struggling in the water in view OF the
fact which the evidence showed that
the life boats, which could have taken
care of l,l76 passengers, only carried

life boats, more extensive wireless APP

CHOOSING ALTERNATE JUROR.
This Proves a Difficult Task in the OAR
row Case.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 24.-Selecting
a thirteenth, or alternate juror, in the
trial of Clarence S. barrow, the Chi
cago lawyer, for alleged jury bribing,
proved the most difficult task yet un-
dertaken in the trial The regular jury
of twelve men was completed before
the noon recess. II includes seven ranch
ers. When court adjourned Wednesday
ten men had been examined in fruit
less attempt to obtain the thirteenth
member, who will act on reaching YER
dict only in case of the illness of a
regular juror. 1t was after the com
pletion of the jury that both sides in
the case agreed to choose an extra juror,
as permitted by law long on the stat
ute books, though seldom invoked.
The twelfth juror was obtained after
a brief examination, but when efforts
were made to select the extra juror,
strong prejudice in the minds of a
surprisingly large number of talesmen
was encountered.

Roosevelt and La Toilette. When a
certain point had been reached, Roose-
welt wanted to compromise and La Fol
lette did not. Following is La Follette's
estimate:
Il state the facts here just as they
transpired, because they illustrate the
difference in methods which sometimes
rendered it impossible for President
Roosevelt and myself to cooperate on
important legislation. He acted upon
the maxim that half loaf is better
than no bread. | believe that half a

PASSED BY THE MASS. HOUSE

Boston, May 24.--The bill permitting
the Grand Trunk railroad through the
Southern New England railroad, to ex-
tend its system to Boston, was passed
to be engrossed in the House yesterday
by an overwhelming vote.
After defeating the Washburn amend
ment giving the railroad commission the
right to fix rates, etc, by vote OF 5S
to 100, the house yesterday passed the
Grand Trunk railroad bill on voice
vote. The bill was at once sent to the
Senate for action there.
Chairman Ellis of the railroad COM
mittee opposed the Washburn amend
ment on the ground that II should be
applied to all railroads.
Mr.. Underhill of Somerville said the
Grand Trunk promoters have, appar-
emily. taken their lesson from the New
Haven book, and are willing to make
any promise for the sake OF getting
their bill through.
But | want this written into the bill;
| am all through voting for these prom
ises, and hereafter | am going to insist
that it be put into the bond. We need
this amendment in this bill to protect
the people of the commonwealth. We do
not want the Grand Trunk to treat Mas
sa chusetts as they have treated Maine
and as they treated Portland. They
went into Maine and got valuable con-
cessions; they got authority to establish
terminal at Portland, but ask any
business man Of that city and he will

It is impossible TO have thin, impure

PUBLIC TO PAY WAGE RISE.
Price of Hard Coal to Be Ad-
vanced

New York, May 24.--That the public
will have to pay the increase in the
wages of the anthracite mine workers
granted by the operators was demon
strated yesterday when it was ANNOUNCE
ed that the price of hard coal would be
advanced twenty-five cents on june l,
thereby increasing the maximum price
of coal at tide water from S. to 1925 a
ton. The coal companies estimate that
a price advance of about twenty cents y
ton on domestic sizes will be required
TO cover the wage increase, while the
balance of the price advance of twenty
five cents will go toward making up the
increase in the cost of production, aside
from the cost of labor, that has taken
place in the last ten years. This, it is
said, is due to the greater cost of ma
terials and to the greater outlay for
pumping, ventilation and underground
transportation.
