Death LIST MAY Grow
THE LIST OF VICTIMS WILL BE
INCREA TO SIX SOME
TIME TODAY.
The Chase IS RELENTLESS
Officers Are Determined TO Run DOVE
the Gang Believed to Be Hiding
in the Mountains.

HlLLSNILLE, Va, March 20.-With
the search for the Allen gang fruitless
on the eve of the seventh day since
the court house tragedy, 1t seems prob
able tonight that the death list may
be increased to six before morning.
Andrew Z. Hewlett, who was shot in
through the night. He was wounded
while trying to protect his wife from
the shower Of lead which killed the
judge, prosecutor, sheriff and two
others. The ball cut through his body,
coming out above the chest.
Detectives who We're hurriedly sum-
moned by messenger yesterday to the
supposed hiding place of the Allen
gang had not returned from their
mountain quest at nightfall. With all
most a week elapsed since the shoot
ing not a single authentic report has
reached here of the movements OF
any of the outlaws who have spread
terror throughout the country side for
more than a generation.
1t is believed that there are a dozen
of the Aliens and their henchmen in
! the band some where in the mountain
| fastness hereabout, and many of the
men in the posses, which trained de-
tectlves are leading, are mountaineers
accustomed to the country and to
mountain skirmishing. The law of Car
roll county has thus far been power
| less to relieve the situation but the
detectives and their followers are not
disheartened. If bushwacking and
guerrilla warfare are brought to plan
as now seems inevitable, the Aliens
will meet their match in cunning,
courage and endurance, and if the
chase becomes a siege it will continue
until the last of the Allen clan is killed
or captured.
ePrsons otherwise unemployed here
have busted themselves counting bull
let holes in the court room, which a
week ago was the scene of the mas
sacre. Upwards of 200 have been found
and the wonder is that more persons
We're not killed by the fusillade.
On account of the short range most
of the bullets lodged in the walls af-
ter piercing the bodies of their vic
tins. Twenty-seven of the bullets
fired hit those killed and wounded.
Governor Mann today sent letters to
Court Clerk Dexter Goad and his
daughter, Jezebel, commencing then
for their bravery in the court room
last Thursday. The governor express
ed the opinion that justice would be
done in Carroll county.
Dr. Wilkinson, the village physician,
was busy today denying an assertion
credited to Sheriff C. II. Haynes OF
Surrey county, n. C. to the effect that
the doctor was believed to have Sc
cretly visited Sldna Allen at his noun
tain refuge on Saturday and dressed
his wounds.
There is absolutely no truth in any
such statement as that" said DIR. Will
knson today. "If | had any informa-
tion to help the posses locate the Al
lens l would give it to them at once"

NEW YORK, March 2O.-In the
first speech of his campaign for the
campaign for the presidential nomi-
nation, Roosevelt tonight contracted
! his position with that taken by Pres
ident Taft. The real issue he said,
was whether the American people
should govern themselves.
Colonel Roosevelts speech was de-

with marked enthusiasm.
President Taft's recent speech at
Toledo was referred to several times
by Colonel Roosevelt who directed his
remarks for a reply.
"Mr. Taft. again in quotations,

pie when they vote at the polls"
He asserted the presidents posi-
ton was:

class of persons wiser than the peo-
pie, who are above the people, who
cannot be reached by the people but

The meeting was an enthusiastic

BOTH Side STANDPAT
MINERS WANT WAGE INCREASE
AND OPERATORS DESIRE
A DECREASE IN SCALE.
TAFT Conference PUT OFF
Administration Is Loatli TO Interfere
While There Is Any Chance of
I'm Agreement.

CLEVELAND, O., March co
Wage discussions between the opera
tors and representatives of 100000
union miners in the bituminous coal
fields of western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, aiming at avert
ing prolonged suspension of busi-
ness after April /, and also to avert
a possible strike today We're without
definite results. The prospect that
all bituminous coal mines would bo
closed after the first of the month
pending the making of a new two
year working and wage agreement
was said to be imminent 1t also was
said the lack of "A wage scale in the
central states would leave the union
bituminous coal miners in other stat
es without a basis upon which to
work and there would have to lie idle
more than 100000 miners The con-
ference adjourned tonight until to-
| morrow.
The demand Is that all the men be
paid on the run of the mine basis.
In the readiustment of this basis
the miners demand an increase Of
three cents a ton over the average
price now paid, They also want short.
er working hours.
The operators ask for a ten per
cent reduction in the present rate.
1t was pointed out that continue
tion of the present schedule would
be In the nature of compromise be-
tween the opposing demands, but the
miners assert they will not return to
work without more pay and a mater
lal shortening of hours.
Asked if he considered today's con-
ference indicated an early settlement.
John =. White, president of the
United Mine Workers of America
who with eight union officials from
each of the four states directly con-
ccrned, is pressing the demands, said
the conference was a skirmish. 1t
does not indicate anything.
Taft Postponcs Conference.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Presi-
dent Taft late today postponed in
definitely his proposed conference
with John Mitchell regarding the
coal situation. This announcement
from the White House, unaccompanl-
ed by any reason for the change in
plans. came soon after u conference
between the president and secretary
Of Commerce and Labor Nagel. who
saw the president shortly after his
return from New England Secretary
NageI and DR.. Chas. p. Neill, United
States Commissioner of Labor, are
keeping in touch with developments
in the situation.
While officials are extremely reti-
cent as TO the cause of the postpone
meni of the conference with the labor
leader. which had been scheduled for
Friday or Saturday it was generally
believed the president and Secretary
feared the activity of the administers
tion at this time might be premature
and might complicate the situation.
1t Is understood the officials do not
desire to participate while there Is
hope of the operators and miners
reaching an agreement The course
of the government at this stage Is re-
garded as being surrounded with ex-
treme delicacy and nasty action, it
is feared might precipltate a rebuff.
especially because there is no statute
under which the national govern-
ment might offer mediation.

Coal company at McCurtain, Okla,
thirty miles west of Fort Smith,
az O'Clock this morning, only eleven
were known to be alive at 10 o'clock
tonight, and absolutely all hope has
been given up for the others. A gas
explosion at 905 this morning wreck
ed the mine piled hundreds of tons
of wreckage in the path of the half
hundred rescuers who are now at
work searching the ruined entries for
the entombed men. The explosion
was the most terrible in its horrifying
results that has occurred in the min
ing history of the Southwest and the
5000 people at the little mining camp,

Never did a man run for ONCE who
carried as many burdens as Frank
Wooden will have to bear. He was
the administration candidate, and the
whole proposition, sifted down, is
that Wooden, If elected, will carry
out the policies of the present adj
mnistration, of which he has been
one of the most prominent members.
Wooden Is in charge of the financial
department Of the city and from this
source comes all the burdensome eX-
pense that leaves bad taste in the
voters mouth, regardless Of his pol
itics.
Wooden will also have to stand pat
for the present police force, and many
of his own party, are decidedly op-
posed to such action. But Wooden,
it is pointed out. cannot turn down
his friends. The bootlegglng element
Of the town stood solidly for Wood

MANY ROMANIST PRIESTS DIE.
Due to Close Confinement in Confess
siOnal, Say Physicians.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29-The alarm
ing mortality among Philadelphia
Catholic pastors has caused Arch
bishop Prendergast considerable
trouble in filling the vacancies left
by the deaths Of the priests.
1t has been suggested that the on
fessionals are to blame to a large
extent. These, In nearly all of the
churches whose priests have recently
died, are small, dark enclosures, con-
structed in such a way as to afford
little or no ventilation.
A prominent physician, who is a
member Of the church, has taken IN
the subject with Archbishop Prem
dergast and has informed him that
unless some different form of confess
sional is used he will soon find that
more priests will be stricken.
Upon the arrival OF the Archbishop
from Europe his medical advisers
suggestion will be taken ND, it Is
said, and in place Of the closed com
partmcnt now in general use there
will be placed in one section of tho
church a screened enclosure.
