ED WARE, NEGRO, IS SENTENCED ID
 ELECTRIC CHAIR
He Was Charged With the Mur- der of w. A. Adkins at
 Hoop Spur.
IS TWELFTH MAN TO
 GET EXTREME PENALTY
Ware, Arrested at Algiers, La.. Is Said to Have Confessed He Was Secretary of Household
 Union.

Helena, Ark, Nov. 17.-Ed Ware, negro, charged with the murder of w. D. Adkins at Hoop Spur, the night of September 30, was found guilty in Phillips county circuit court here late today. The jury deliberat- ed four minutes, the entire trial re- quiring only two hours and five minutes.
 Ware, who was alleged to have been leader in the insu1rection in the Elaine neighborhood early in Oc- tober, was arrested recently at AL giers, La. He is said to have con- fessed that he was secretary of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America, the organization in which negroes were banded for an uprising against the white planters which was precipitated by the mur- der from ambush of Adkins, who was a member of small posse en route to Elaine to arrest white man.
 Ware is the twelfth negro convict ed of first degree murder in connec- tion with the uprising. The con- viction automatically carries the death penalty in Arkansas.
 Will Miller, another negro alleged to have been leader in the insur- rection plot, was arrested at Tamo Saturday night by Pine Bluff off cals and is expected to be brought here tomorrow, according to off cials The charge on which Miller is to be tried has not been made known.
 Will Miller, the negro arrested by Sheriff c. M. Nichol and his depu- ties Saturday night on warrant from Phillips, charging the negro with murder in connection with the Elaine insurrection. is frantic with fear or making fine showing in the role of madman.
 Miller has refused to eat any of the food served under the direction of Warden E. H. Verret, a circum- stance in itself sufficient for the negro to be deemed crazy by other prisoners who have enjoyed meals at the jail. In addition to this symp- tom of insanity, Miller Sunday even- ing rushed about the jail whining, Somebody hit me-" Then he'd run up to one of the officials in the run around or cone of the prisoners and piteously cry "You hit me. What did you hit me for?"
 Unable to quiet the negro, MT. Verret sent for Sheriff Nichol. They finally allayed his fears, and he was induced to enter cell and lie down. Turnout the night and yesterday he moaned and whined
 Miller seems afraid he will be condemned to death for his part in the insurrection. altho he denies he participated. He admitted, howev- CT, to Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBur- nett, when arrested Saturday night, that he was a member of the Prog ressive Farmers and Household union whose members committed the murders at Hoops Spur.
 Sheriff Frank Kitchens of Phillips advised Sheriff Nichol yesterday that a deputy would reach Pine Bluff to- day to take Miller to Helena for trial.
 Miller was arrested late Saturday night at the home of his brother-in- law, Peter King, a short distance from Tamo.

Washington, Nov. 17-There were evidences of real progress today in the wage scale negotiations between coal miners and operators of the central competitive field, altho no meeting of the joint wage scale com- mittees was held. The conference was postponed until tomorrow at the request of the operators, who spent the day preparing reply to the demands re-submitted Saturday by the workers.
 The operators were in touch by wire with owners not represented here, for the purpose of obtaining their approval of the counter propos- als which have now assumed defin- lte shape. Reports also were pre- pared to show the effect that high CT wages, taken in connection with the suspension of production, would have on coal prices this winter
 With the nations visible coal SUD- ply rapidly diminishing, the admin istration is determined to bring about the resumption of production without delay, and intends to hasten the set clement between operators. and amin- CTS, it was said. Officials of the departmeant of labor stated, howev- CT, that reports to the effect that the government might take over the mines and operate them were with out foundation. Such action, they said, would be taken only as the last resort and after full discussion by the cabinet.
 Meanwhile in behalf of the central field operators committees, a series of telegraphic reports from mining centers was given out showing that not mine was operating in its ter ritory.
 Production Stopped.
 Production was absolutely at a standstill in southwestern states, the reports declared, and averaged on- ly about 50 per cent of normal in Pennsylvania outside of what is classed as the central competitive field. In West Virginia, however, production was close to normal. ex- cept where held back by car short age:
 "The reports show that the court injunction calling off the strike is not being obeyed," said Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the operators scale committee in the central terri tory.
 John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of Ameri- ca: met this assertion smilingly.
 "The mine workers have obeyed the order of the court implicitly" he said. Cts mandate required that the strike order be cancelled and re- yoked. That step was taken. The court has affirmed the resembling or- der which was sent out. Our every legal obligation has been discharged. Again we are assembled in Washing ton asking consideration and living wage."
 Judge Anderson's order. Lewis said. did not "order men back to work"

sible position in Wisconsin and that
