If there is no wage contract, there won't be any coal dug after April 1st in union mines.” Mr. Lewis accused mine operators’ as- sociations which have sought local con- ferences with the union, looking to the construction of district contracts, of “playing for position” and “shooting pro- e s e Under- paganda.” Operators in cerain districts, he insisted, “would like to get an ex- | clusive right to the coal market. after t | April 1st when all other mines are shut up,” but could not make wage contracts ? | until the basis for a national scale had been laid by a wage contract in the cen- e | tral competitive field ‘which will deter- mine the wages and costs their competi- tors have to meet, and fix the relation- - | ships in the coal market.” e| Meanwhile, he declured, “coal com- - | panies can make a lot of money” by re- e | tusing to enter conferehces, “getting out e | strike scares and frightening consumers into paying high prices for coal.” He also insisted that district organiza- tions of the miners’ union, except in Illi. nois, were supporting their national offi- clals in demanding the national settle- ment. 1| Mr. Lewis came here today from Illi- - | nois and after his conference with Sec- retary Davis left with seyeral represent- atives of the national union York, where the gerieral scaje commit- tees of the union and the antliracite op- e | erators are in session to consider terms e | of a new wage contract WOUNDED; - |"TWO SERIOUMLY ' REFUSE TO TELL HOW * Freehold, N.

PRELIMINARY HEARING TO THE DELORME MUERDER TRIAL Montreal, March 14.—The preliminary hearing on the charge that Abbe Ade- larde Delorme murdered his half brother proceeded today despite efforts of the defense to show that the priest was mot in a mental condition to know what ‘was going on. The Crown called several witnesses ‘n the court of inquiry to testify regarding the finding of the body of Raeoul De- lorme, Ottawa college student, on the ous skirts. of this city last January and ev- idence tending to link the priest with the crime. Then, after cross examina- tion, the hearing was adjourned until next Tuesday. First the prosecution concerned itself with thé alleged motive—money. Father Rheaume of Ottawa. college tes- tified to the authority of a will made by Raoul in February, 1921, in which he left most of his estate to the priest. The college official was a witness to the doc- ument. *Theophile Marcotte, a life insurance company agent, was the next witness. He testified that the abbe brought his half brother to his office and sald he wish- ed him to take out a $25,000 policy to acquire the habit of saving. Then De- tective George Lajole, assigned to the case, was called, with exhibits that in- cluded a revolver, chicken feathers, bloodstained automobile seats ard a uiit. “Phe revolver was the first exhibit dis- played. “Please examine It to see'if it is load- ed,” cautioned Crown Prosecutor Walsh. “That often happens. The weapon was unloaded. Repeating previous testimony, the de- tective said that bullets found in Raoul's head were .25 calibre—the bore of the abbe's revolver. Lajoie also, asserted that barrel markings made on bullets which he had fired from the priest's re- volver corresponded to those on the piec- es of lead that had ended the student’s lige. G The feathers came next. The detective swore they wers similiar to those cling- ing to a cloth found wrapped around Raoul's head. He found them, he sald, in the priest's car, along With the blood stained cushions. Then the quilt was exhibited. The witness pointed to its pecullar design and asserted that the aforementioned blood- stained cloth wound around the dead man’s head had been torn from the guilt. The quilt, he added, had been taken frem the room of [Lilly Delorme, Raoul's halt sister. TUnder cross examination, Lajole testi- fed that he had noticed feathers on the cloth on January 9, three days after the date of the alleged murder; that he had detdoted the stains on the cushlons Feb- ruary 22, while the car was in the ga- rage.

ACCUSED OF LOBBYING FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES New York, March 14—Jesse S. Phil- lips, former state superintendent of in- surance, today was accused of lobbying as the representative of a vast combine of insurance companies to defeat the in- surance bills now before the legislature, by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Lockwood legislative committee. Mr. Untermyer named others as co- lobbylsts, but said Mr. Phillips was “the most dangerous and insidious of the lot because of his long residence in Albany, his former official position and his vast acquaintanceship.” “I don't belleve that our program of necessary and constructive legislation will be defeated,” Mr. Untermyer said. ‘If any of the jmportant bills are beaten it will be because of the work of invisi- ble government in the form of a third house under leadership of Mr. Phillips and his associates and because many of the men in the assembly have mnot the time to read the committee's report and form their own judgments.” LITTLE PROSPECT OF HARD COAL AGREEMENT New York, March 14.—Anthracite aniners and operators will meet in joint conference tomorrow, with little Drospect of reaching an agreement on a wage scale before the expiration of the Present contract on March 31, which Wil mean a suspension of mining in the @ennsylvania hard coal flelds until a satisfactory arrangement has been ar- Tived at. This was the epinion of operators and miners here tonight for the confer- ®nce. A suspension would not mean a break in negotiations, because twice be- ¥oro in the history of wage conference In this industry operators and ' miners kontinued the discussion of wage con- {tracts to a satisfactory conclusion while the collerles remained idle, While no officlal of the unfon would discuss the probable length of the ne- otiations it was believed in some quar- Rers that neither aide would show a dis- osition to speed up negotlations, as it is considered good policy to walt and dake advantage of developments in the ®oft coal flelds.

Healy, a Brooklyn lawyer who has been seek- ing the release of James Larkin, Irish agitator now imprisoned at Dannemora for criminal anarchy, said today that Governor Miller had under considera- tion a pardon, perhaps on St. Patrick’s day. Now that Larkin is eligible for parole, Healy said, considerable pressure for his pardon has been brought to bear up- on the governor, who, he declared, had recently ordered sent to him all papers connected with the case. If freed YLarkin would return to Ire- land, Healy said. Once back home, Lar- kin, in Mr. Healy's opinion, would prove a potent force in uniting the factions led apart by De Valera and Collins. “I believe he has a greater following in Ireland than either of them,” Mr. Healy sald. He added that he did mot know whether Lagkin would allgn him- self on the side of those favorable to the recent treaty between Ireland and Great Britain, or stick to the fight for an independent republic.

This action resulted from the indictment of two government employes, who, it is al- leged, accepted part payment of the tax and gave receipts in full. The first warrant was served on the firm of Barnett Weingold, in West 27th streot, the establishment being seized by Doputy United States marshals. None of the others had been served tonight.
