greatest social events the White

perhaps since. Simple, amiable and
unaffected, Nellie Grant, the only
daughter Of General Grant, had en-
deared herself to the American people
and she went with her husband to
their English home accompanied by
the heartiest good wishes.
In England she was presented to

MARSHALL NEW IN POLITICS

Gov. Thomas r. Marshall Of In

Vice-president, rode to the front of his
party on a wave Of reform. But the
Indiana wave was not so boisterous as

coast and elsewhere. Governor Mar

Just a little bit better politically,
financially and morally than ever be-

1t required heroic measures on the
part of his friends to induce Governor
Marshall to take his presidential
chances seriously, and even then he
refused to allow any effort to be made
in his behalf outside of Indiana,

Miners and Operators
Break; Strike Threatens
Bv The United Pree

By The United Press.
NEW YORK, March 15.-NegOtia-
ton between the anthracite miners
and operators were abruptly broken
off today. Both sides then announced
they would make no concessions.
Unless one or the other weakens a
strike in the anthracite coal fields at
midnight on March 81 is certain.
When the operators and scale com
mittee of the United Mine Workers Of
America went into session in the Jer-
sey Central Offices today, the miners
promptly handed the employers their
rejection of the offer that the present
agreement be continued for three
years.
In their answer the miners took di-
rect issue with the operators conten-
tion that the mining of coal had
reached the minimum of profit be-
cause the cost of production has been
increased and therefore they cannot
meet the demands of the men for in
creased wages.
The answer defends the union as an
organization and explains that it's pro-
lection is such that the men have nc
reason to object to its demand that
the union dues be deducted BY the
paymasters of the various mines
Neither side cared to make any ex
tended comment on the outcome be
fore the conference began, but botl
were hopeful that some means of set
tlement would be reached before thi
present agreement expires on Marcl
31st.

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
SEAFORD, Del. March 15.-After
an investigation at Concord yesterday.
Coroner Cordrey has concluded that
there we're no foul play suspicious in
the death of Mrs. Thomas A. Allen.
An empty laudanum bottle was
found in the Allen yard following Mrs.
Aliens death, Coroner Cordrey said
this was o. little significance. since an
attendant Of Mrs. Allen was sure she
had thrown 1t there several days be-
fore. When asked whether the body
would be exhumed, the coroner said,
Mrs, Aliens body viii not be taken
up unless there are more develop
ments in the case and am convinced
by substantial evidence that there are
good foundations to the poisoninl
theory"
Suspicion arose from the fact tha
the woman died without a physician
and was buried without an inquest
Coroner Cordrey said that according
TO three women who were with Mrs
Allen, death was due to heart failure
and he was satisfied with their state.

brothers, one OF whom, Floyd, was
sentenced TO three years imprison-
ment by Judge Thorton Massie, of
the Carroll county court. Virginia,
yesterday, resulting IN the Hhoting
OF the judge. the prosecuting attor-
ney and the sheriff, and wounding of
others in the court room by the pris-

and their friends who were dis
tributed about the rom.
Jack Allen Is rural mail car
rier at Cana. Carroll county" said
Mr.. Plummer today. "and was one of
the best in Virginia Both he and
Floyd are large property owners, and
both have been engaged In the manu-
facture of moonshine whiskey for
many years. They are two OF the
most desperate men In that whole
mountain section.
"On one occasion, remember that
Jack aud Floyd had a difference be-
tween themselves resulting in a pis-
tol duel. After seriously wounding
each other and shooting until their
ammunition was gone, and both were
on the ground, they crawled with
knives in their hands intent on kill
ing each other. They were sepa-
rated, however. From that day Ia
this neither spoke TO the other, yet
brotherly love existed and TO harm

Carroll county. Va" said Mr.
Plummer,' is situated in the south
western part OF the state. borderinl
on North Carolina aud it Is one o
the richest agricultural and minera
districts IN Virginia, and further {
known as a section where moonshin
whiskey Is made. In this county ar
some families who can trace thei

they would be called blockaders.
They are desperate men and have nc
fear of death. They fully believ,
they have the right TO make and sell
whiskey and look upon revenue off,
GERS as their mortal enemies"
Continuing. Mr.. Plummer said:
81 do not believe the men are cor
nered in a barn, as some OF the news
paper reports state, but are safe in
the fastness OF the mountains. and
they will never be arrested until lives
are sacrificed. as it will be hard to
reach them in that country where
three-fourths Of the people are their
friends.

TARGET OF ATTACKS BY
A POWERFUL LOBBY
By The United Press.


WASHINGTON, March 15.-Harvey
w. Wiley, Uncle Sans chief chemist,
father Of the pure food law, ended his
long and honorable service with the
government today, rendering his re-
signation to Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson.
There is no statement l can make
now" was the declaration of the pure
food chief.
"Dr. Wiley has resigned-that is all
| can say now" was the assertion of
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson.
1t has been known here for weeks
that Dr. Wiley was seriously consid-
ering retirement from the government
service. Since the first of the year a
powerful lobby of manufacturers OPP
posed to his strict enforcement of the
pure food, has fought him by
anonymous ..'press agent" statements,
the agents openly asserting that they
we're "after" Wiley's scalp. The pure
food champion is tired of the strife
and turmoil raised not only by these
personal attacks, but by internal
friction in the Department of Agri-
culture itself.
Congress only recently investigated
the politics" Of the pure food adj
mBnistration. and found how an
amalgamation of the two other mem
bers of the pure food board -Solici-
tor George p. McCabe. and Associate
Chemist r. l.. Dunlap frequently
hampered what Wiley thought was
the best way of enforcing the pure
food law
