COAL CONFERENCE IS
DELAYED 3 HOURS
Some Of The Participants Late in
Arriving at Scene

Atlantic City, Aug. 2o.--The open
ing of the wage conference between
anthracite operators and officers of
the miners union was delayed three
hours today. The conference was
scheduled to begin at II o'clock this
morning. Failure of some partici-
pants to arrive in time was said to be
the reason for the delay.
The operators were headed by
Samuel ID. Warmer, chairman of the
anthracite operators policy commit
tee, and the miners by John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers.
The negotiations were resumed
through the intervention of the Unit
ed States coal commission and will be
conducted under a closer federal
scrutiny than heretofore, in agreeing
to renewal of the negotiations.
Very little progress had been made
when the conference broke up last
month, and today they started on
practically the same footing as when
the miners demands were at first for
mally presented.
Included in the demands of the
men are a 20 per cent increase in
wages, full union recognition includ-
ing the check-off and a universal
eight hour day. The operators have
agreed to abolish the twelve hour day,
which prevails in some branches OF
the industry and to submit to arbi-
tration all other disputed points. Ar
bitration was refused by the miners
representatives, who in the previous
conferences also declined to remain at
work after September in case OF
failure to reach an agreement on a
new contract by that date.

GROUND GLASS FED
TO CARSON, He SAYS
Man Accused of Helping Hammer
Murderess to Escape From Jail
Mixed Up in Revolution Plans

New York, Aug. 20.-Jesse G. Car.
son, accused of helping Clara Phillips
hammer murderess, to escape from
Jail. in Los Angeles, who arrived If
New York yesterday aboard the
steamship LISA, today declared he
would have to undergo treatment for
ground glass which he said had been
put in his food while he was impris-
cned in Honduras.
When Mrs. Phillips was captured in
Honduras she told of plans to over
throw the government there-plans
which were to raise Carson, then her
protector, to high place in the new
government. Today Carson recited
the same tale, with additions. He
limited that he was an agent of the
revolutionists engaged in transporting
$4,000 and some rifles from Mexico
to Honduras.
Throughout his. story Carson re-
ferred mysteriously to an American
official in Honduras at whose door he
laid most of his troubles. According to
Carson this official professed to be
heart and soul in the revolution and
then double crossed him.
Carson told how he escaped from
prison in Honduras by using a fake
rife whitfield from bed post.

new AIRPLANE ENGINE
British Believe They Have Perfected
AircooIed Flying Engine. Expect
cd to Be Sensation.

London, Aug. 20-The aim of Bri-
fish airplane builders, for some time
past, has been to produce powerful
muti-cylinder engine which would
cool itself merely by reason of its own
swift passage through the air. This
would eliminate radiators, water
Jackets and other impediments in
watep-cooled engines. Some of the
best brains in the air would have
been endeavoring to solve this prob
lem.
The Duke of Sutherland, in pre-
senting the prize to the winner of the
recent English aerial derby, remark
ed, This day has seen the triumph
of the air-cooled engine and it is
now believed that he was revealing
the official significance which is at
tached to the result of the race.
