CONFERENCE DEADLOCK
Coal Operators VIII Try to Break II
by Compromise Offers.

Kansas City, July 14.-Faced with
an unfavorable subcommittee report,
the conference between coal operators
and labor representatives relative to a
new two year wage contract for the
35, 900 coal miners of the states of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Arkansas and Okla
homa was to be resumed this after
noon, with the possibility of an at
tempt by the operators to break the
threatened deadlock. The operators,
organized as the Southwestern Inter
state Coal Operators association, were
in session this morning, presumably to
frame counter proposals to those made
by the miners for wage increases on
which the subcommittee reported last
night the impossibility of an agree
ment.
Operators declared today that the
subcommittee report does not neces-
sarily mean a break, and by one it
is characterized as a method by which
an agreement will be reached. Rep
resentatives of the United Mine Work
ers of America would say only that the
outcome of this afternoons meeting
will determine whether break will
result. The miners themselves plan
no conference to reach a compromise
agreement.

Colonel Abandons Plan to Raise 10000
Men at This Time.

New York, July 14.-For the time
being, at least, Colonel Roosevelt has
abandoned his plan to raise volun-
teer division of 10000 men which he
was to command. This has been an
nounced at the Metropolitan Magazine
office where the colonel conferred
with the men who were helping him
gather in the recruits.
There has been no trouble whatever,
according to Regis H. Post, former
governor general of Porto Rico, who
has been in active charge of raising
the division, in securing the men. That
has been the easiest task of all.
Neither did the colonel nor his assist
ants worry about the equipment. They
did, however, worry about the absence
of a war They further realized there
is little likelihood of Uncle Sam engag-
ing in one just now, and so decided
to abandon the division idea for the

bonded with thirty or forty other schools and found this system a great success in all these schools but one. However, this one did not have the proper supervision.
 Hendrix needed this system be- cause of the great demand for trained teachers in our high schools and col leges. Knowing a subject and know ing how to present it are two differ ent things. Hendrix is now able to furnish both. Some friends of Hen- drix wish to teach and it is for these the cadet system was established.
 In the cadet system only juniors and seniors are permitted to teach. The student is to teach in the sub ject that he has for his major. Then the head of that department is to ad- wise and work with the student. A student has only one class a day and Tn the academy work.
 There are about twelve students teaching. Everyone is enjoying his work and expects to use it to the best advantage.
 This system is different from the normal work in one respect. The cadet system trains students in de- partmental work mainly. The stu dent is prepared to teach in one or two subjects and to enter high schools or colleges. This system is just starting and some changes will prob- ably be made in the future.
 The following students are em- ployed as cadet teachers for the first semester: Miss Gladys Bassett, Miss Maude Carmichael, Miss Lena Mai | nard, Roy Wilson, James Carriger, Miss Edith Sherman, w. R. Schisler and R. L. Hiles-The Bull Dog.

PARDONFO SLAYER
 NOT HER fIANCE DENIES MARRIAGE RUMOR Miss Bessie Baty Declares She Never Wants to See Pardoned Man Who
 Slew Her Lover.

Miss Bessie Baty of Cotton Plant. in communication to a Little Rock paper, denies that she and Jess Whitley of Des Are, recently pardon ed from the state penitentiary, were to be married, and declared she hoped she never would see him again. Whitley shot and killed Wesley Mum, Vilonia young man, to whom Miss Baty was to have been married few days after the date on which Mum was killed.
 At the time of ,Whitleys pardon persons at Des Arc said Whitley and Miss Baty had renewed their friend ship, and that they were to be mar ried.
 ''I wish to say that we were never sweethearts so far as l was con- cerned," Miss Baty said, "and the thought that l would ever marry him never entered my mind. It is true, when we were children he went with me one time and the school children got to calling us sweet hearts. As time went on he tried to push himself on me, and was quite persistent in wanting to show me attentions, but 1 never encour- aged him. Until the time of the killing of Mr. Mum he was consid- cred respectable young man in the community, and l, of course, tried to treat him with respect, but always endeavored to keep him from think ing that l cared for him as a sweet heart, for 1 did not. He consistently wanted to be with me and make dates, and 1 went out with him a few times, but never entertained him in my parlor half an hour except at gatherings when others would be present.
 "On one of my birthdays he gave me a ring; I tried to decline it, but he insisted that it was a birthday present. Afterwards he referred to 1t as our engagement ring, and took it off and gave it back to him and told him we were not engaged, and we never were engaged.
 "The statement that Whitley and l would probably be married, if he obtained pardon, is without foun- dation. l have not in any way com municatde with him since he killed MT. Mum, and hope that I never will see him again. He killed, in cold blood, l think, one to whom l was to have been married in a few days, and l never could think of marry ing the man who so ruthlessly slew one whom l truly loved and revered.
 "l have been informed that Whit ley made the statement that no other man should ever live with me, and believe that it is due only to dis position of this kind on his part that MT. Mum is not living today.
 "l regret exceedingly that the gov ernor has seen fit to put such a small price upon human life. The pardon ing power, as used in this case, en- courages just such killings as that of MT. Wesley Mum.
 Your paper also contained the following statement: 'Whitley's par ents and older brother died about four years ago, leaving him to sup port three younger brothers and sis ters.' He has a brother two years younger than himself, and another brother and sister younger, the sis ter being the youngest child, and she is about IS years old. They are all grown and able to take care of them selves"
