n. A..ssl.t.a rr...

Washington, November 25. Like the miners and operators, whose troubles it was trying to adjust, President Wilson's cabi- net tonight seemed hopelessly deadlocked on the question of a wage increase in the bitumin- ous coal industry.
 After q six-hour session the cabinet, which took up the wage scale agree ment where operators and miners left off last week, adjourned until tomor- row, when another attempt, with the aid of Fuel Administrator Garfield, will be made to agree upon a pay scale that will satisfy the mine workers and own : CTS and the people in all sections of the country who are clamoring for nor nal production of coal.
 The proper basis of calculating the proposed wage advance, and the ratio of dividing the consequent increase in cost of production of coal between the operator and the public, are under. stood to have been the points of differ ence among the cabinet members

Angeles Found Guilty and
 Sentenced to Be Shot, But
 Execution Not Carried Out
Intellectual Leader of the Villista Movement, Who Went to Trial Monday,
 Has Little Chance of Evading the Firing Squad
By Associated Press

Juarez, Mex, November 25.-Gen. Felipe Angeles and his two companions, Maj. Nester Enciso De Arce and Soldier An tonia Trillo, captured near Parral, Chi huahua, November 15 by Maj. Gabino Sandoval were found guilty by court martial at Chihuahua City this morning and sentenced to be shot at noon today, according to information received by Judge Gonzales Medina of the Mexican federal court here this afternoon.
 The formal charge against the pris- oner was that of rebellion against the Carranza government.
 The sentence was not carried out, it was said. because the attorneys for Angeles appealed to the federal court at Juarez and the supreme court of Mexico at Mexico City for a stay of execution by applying for writ of habeas corpus.
 The Juarez court depied -the appeal, Judge Medina holding his court had no jurisdiction and the supreme court was the only tribpnal which could act Be- sides the supreme court President Carr rarza also could save the condemned mi . with a pardon.
 r. was said by court officials if the supreme court grants the application it simply means that court win only review the proceedings of the court-martial and that if no errors are found it will mean carryingA out of the sentence unless Car raiiza intervenes. Carranza already has many petitions seeking clemeney for General Angeles.
 General Angeles. intellectual leader of the yillista movement and famous throughout the world as an artillery ex- pert. went to trial yesterday morning
 For three hours General Angeles faced the military court of four Carranza gen. erals and defended the actions of him self and his companions Two of the four men captured with him already have been executed by Carranza soldiers. The soldier Trillo on trial with Angeles, is but r years old.
 Couriers brought the story of the trial to the border tonight.
 Attempts to obtain telegraphic infor- nation failed.
 During his address to the court Gen. eral Angeles praised America and Ameri- cans. In this connection he was reported to have said.
 '.The Mexican people always have viewed with dislike and apprehension the great American nation always being brought up to believe their powerful neighbors are harboring thoughts of our conquest. Nothing is more erroneous.
 Our great neighboring nation, headed by it's great President. MT. Wilson. has only the kindliest feeling for us and our welfare. It is often said here that the American army is a nonentity. Though true that it's former army was of little importance. It's present army is one of the greatest in existence. It embodies all of the flower and young. clean blood of the nation-''
