CONVENTION CALLED MARCH 15
Long Conference Between John Mi
chell and Representatives of Soft
Coal Interests Possible Agreement
Between the Anthracite Operator
.and Hard Coal Men.
New York, Feb. 27. 'President
Jloosevelt has again Intervened as
peacemaker between the coal mlnen
and operators and as the result of
letter addressed by him to John Mitch
ell, president of the United Mint
Workers of America, a national con
vention of the miners will be helt
March 15 to try to reach an agreement
with the soft coal operators In the
hope of averting the threatened strike
of April 1 In the bituminous coal
fields.
The president's letter and the an
nouncement that the convention would
be called were made public last nlghl
by Mr. Mitchell after a long confer
ence with Francis L. Robblns, presi
dent of the Pittsburg Coal company
and chairman of the bituminous opera
tors. Present at this conference were
W. C. Perry of the Southwestern Coal
association and B. F. Bush, represent
Ing the soft coal Interests allied with
the Gould railroads.
The president's letter is dated Wash
lngton, Feb. 24, and says:
"Sir I note with very great con
eern the failure in your late conven
tlon on the Joint interstate agreement
to come to a basis of settlement of the
bituminous mining scale of wages
You In this business have enjoyed a
great industrial peace for many years,
thanks to the Joint trade agreement
that has resulted in the action of yout
successive conventions.
"A strike such as Is threatened on
April 1 Is a menace to the peace and
general welfare of the country. 1
urge you to make a further effort tc
avoid such a calamity.
"You and Mr. Robblns are Join
chairmen of the trade agreement com
mittee of the National Civic Federal
tlon and It seems to me that this lm
poses additional duty upon you botb
and gives an additional reason whs
each of you should Join In making a
further effort.
"Very respectfully,
"Theodore Roosevelt.
The conference did not adjourn
until nearly 8 o'clock last night, when
Mr. Mitchell announced that it was
agreed by both himself and the oper
ators that the national convention
should be called.
President Mitchell himself has been
quoted as saying that as far as b.6
knew there certainly would be a strike
In the bituminous fields April 1.
The negotiations for an agreement
between the hard coal workers and thr
anthracite operators have been pro
gresBing Bmoothly, to all outward ap
pearances, and arrangements have
been made for a Joint conference Wed
nesday between the sub-committees
having the settlement of the difficul
ties In hand.
Mr. Mitchell believes that March 13
Is the earliest date the convention can
be summoned and he believes that II
there Is to be peace the two weeks be
tween the date fixed for the miners' as
sembly and April 1, when the present
agreement with the operators expires
Is sufficient time to bring about the de
sired result.
Mr. Mitchell would not Indicate whal
new propositions will be placed be
fore the miners, but significance Is
attached to his statement that the op
erators at yesterday's conference
agreed that the convention should be
called.

8TUDENTS' REMAIN8 FOUND.
Fate of Three Youths at Kenyon Col
lege Made Certain.
Gambler, O., Feb. 27. The charred
bodies of Cadets Winfleld Scott Kun-
kle of Ashtabula, O.; J. E. Henderson
of Ridge Farm, 111., and James J. Ful
ler of Warren, O., were found In the
ruins of Delano Hall.
The bodies of Fuller and Henderson
lay close together. They had been
room mates. It is believed that they
were suffocated to death in bed. Tho
lifeless forms were also close to the
beds they had occupied and lay In
the basement almost directly beneath
their room. Kunkle'a body had been
carried to the west with the falling
floors. Trouble was experienced In
finding it. The fathers of the cadets
hurried to Gambler Saturday night and
were present when the finding of the
bodies removed the last doubt as to
their fate.
Cadets Harry Barnes and Lenox Da
ker, both residents of Cleveland, were
moved on cots to hospitals In Cleve
land. Barnes, whose condition had
been regarded as critical, spent a rest
ful night and was much Improved In
the morning.
Cadet J. R. Stearns, whose feet were
burned and who sustained Injuries by
Jumping from the burning building,
went to his home in Cincinnati. Ca
dets Alexander W. Walton of Cincin
nati and Milan L. Bartlett, each of
whom was burned about the arms, left
yesterday.
There is no satisfactory explanation
as to what caused the fire. Some are
of the opinion that oily rags may have
caused spontaneous combustion. The
floors of the building were oiled, and
this, In part at least, accounts for tha
rapidity with which the building
burned.

marked the climax of the hearing be
fore Recorder Goff on the motion for a
r-ew trial. Jordan is charged with per-.
Jury, the complaint being signed by

Jordan testified last week that he
overheard Charles F. Jones, Rice's va- -let,

tioned by Mr. Jerome at the time and

tentiary In Huntsvllle, Tex., from 1877
to 1882. Murray said Jordan was once
a prisoner In his charge.
