OFFICIALS STILL SEEKING ID END
 T|E-UP OF MINES
Davis Wishes to Bring Both Sides Together in Join Conference to Be Held at
 Washington
By Associated Press

Washington, June 23.-Along with official expressions of regret for the mine strike outbreak in Illinois, it was made known today that the ad- ministration still was pressing ef- forts to bring about a settlement of the coal strike through conference between the two parties and has some hope of suecess---7-'-'-- ss
 There were White House ntima- tons that publicity for the details of the attempt might not be helpful and that details consequently would be withheld.
 Efforts to bring about the desired settlement at present lies along the lines of getting the mine operators and the miners union representa- tives into joint gathering, Secretary Davis indicated. This objective has been defeated today because the oper- ators have refused to reinstate the central competitive field gathering. empowered to fix wages for Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsyl- vania as the miners demand.
 The miners leaders, however, have countered in the informal negotia- tions with a proposal to meet in national conference fixing wages at one time for all fields, or attempting the task. The operators in union territory have. in public, held out steadfastly for series of district and state conferences and the net result has been no conferences of any kind.
 MT. Davis has been endeavoring to find a common ground for meet ing. The present prospects that this could be done were said to be some what brighter than in previous weeks.
 Whether larger operators had agreed to a national or anti-national conference was not revealed, although 1t appeared to be the point on which the success of the governments eff forts were hinged.

 Except for the portion of the cath-' drai reserved for relatives of the field marshal, members of Parliament and other prominent persons, the whole of the vast edifice will be thrown open without tickets.
 The two men arrested as assassins of Field Marshal Wilson were arr raigned on a charge of murder today and formally remanded for week in order to enable further investigation. Little has been added to the identity or the motives of the assassins. except taht they prove to be former soldiers. one of them was employed as q door keeper in prison offices.
 Touches Entire World
 The expressions of horror and in- dfgnation over the assassination are not confined to England. Today they extended virtually over the whole world. Large numbers of messages of condolence reached Lady Wilson from sovereigns. great soldiers and cabinet ministers in various countries.
 Thus far the responsible republi- cans in Ireland who have spoken re- garding the assassination, including Ramon DeValera. have disavowed any knowledge of the crime or its perpe- trators. Mir. Devalera tonight. how ever, issued political manifesto in which he denounced the policy of the British government and that of Ulster as the cause for such -outrages. Sir James Craig. the Ulster phemier, also Issued a statement in which he as- serted that the assassination would serve to widen the breach and harden the Hearts of the ulsterites for their policy of no surrender.
 Regret was expressed in govern ment circles today that the murder might be calculated to delay an Irisn settlement.

Unending Line of Men, Wom- en and Children Files Past Bodies in ImproviSed
 M0rgueS
By AssocIated Press

HerFln, lll.l June zd.--llerTln ; un@ honored dead lay pale and stark to- night. in the vacant store building that has been pressed into service as a morgue, since yesterdays mine battle. Past them filed an amending line of men and women. young and old, barefooted boys, and little girls bright ia their summer clothes,
 They lifted muslin clothes. ana peered. at the pale faces. and at the wounds left by pistol bullets, rifle balls and buckshot.
 They fingered avidly. then reluct- antly pressed on to some adjoining horror. eager to miss nothing.
 Never word of pity from the
 crowd. These were the enemy
 slain in n labor war. These were
 the men who came to take away
 their jobs. Outsiders, enemies.
 We'll. Is served them right. That
 was the attitude of the town as
 and its children. eFs. naaes Sympathy, not nsss were the fenemy.
 The dead of half ig9f tics, with sloping ehee1a pr slte slav. high profiles W the long mustaches of eastern Flu rope. lay at peace for all the crowds. the laughter and the sullen looks Bricks beneath sheir heads for pill lows, pine boxes for their beds. they lay waiting the call of friends and relatives who loved them once and have lost touch with them in the vieissitudes of transient labor. Most of them. 1t Is safe to say, will be forgotten in the potters fields, their meagre courses run, their stories finished. They came here because they wanted q living and because other men wanted 10 make money. They died, hunted across the fields, stoned shot at, tied and dragged down dusty country roads because other thousands feared these men would take away their Reing.
 The trees are green h Herrin. ana the birds are singing and the crops ripening iu the midsummer sun. From the morgue the crowds drift to the billboards in frcnt or the picture shows, to see what the posters promise; to the drug store for sott drinks, then home for supper. Only the outsiders show surprise and nor ror People here say:
 "rhis is our business. Sorry
 but it's done. Let us alone. We'll
 handle this all right. We're good
 people to get along with--gooa

 busIness. We'll attend to ours"
 investigations were conducted to- day by several state representatives from Springfield and the coroner started his inquest by swearing m the jury. It then adjourned until Sunday. States Attorney Duty said he probably would recommend grand jury investigation but that this would depend primarily on what the inquest uncovered. All officials were of the opinion that no evidence would be obtainable. The casualty list still was indefinite tonight.
 Twenty two bodies were in morgues. Several others Were ieported still in the woods or In ponds. Es- inmates ran as high as 40 but had no confirmation. Nineteen were known to be wounded and score still are unaccounted for.

 ments were resumed Rt o'clock

 n late hour.
 Although the young lady broke down this morning in the course of her examination, her testimony dlf- fered from that of both Malloy and Eennamer in that the latter two tes- tified that their action on that oc- cssion was perfectly agreeable to the girl. She contended fee1ingly that even the ride through Albany, De- catur and back again, as 1t was minutely described by each of ths three was against her will.

 hn f1 driven to the several towns and 1t was not until about 1 o'clock that the ride was concluded.
