period of four years peace is to reign in the anthracite fields. Mine workers, who since Monday have been endeavoring to settle the mining situation, today decided by a vote of 323 to 64 to accept the tentative offer of the coal operators as their working contract. Repairmen were ordered back to work Monday and the mines will reopen Wednesday. The vote was liken this afternoon a short time after the session opened. While the leaders did not expect a unanimous decision, sivh a verdict would have been brought about had several of the delegates not been under binding instructions.

Before a vote wa? taken, some of the instruc t-ed delegates took the floor and declared that they were thoroughly convinced that the tertative otfer gave the men substantial gains and would willingly vote for its adoption were they not under strict orders to attempt to vote it down. Anxiety shown by many of the dele-fates to get the business of the convention over and leave for home, prompted the officials to put the proposition before the men for nal vote. The usual custom is to call the roll of delegates, but even this formality was dispensed with, so certain were the leaders that their plans would through. Men Favored Agreement It was decided to take a rising vote and at the opportunity to present their choice, nearly every man on the floor Ft-od on his feet.

It was many minutes before there was quiet in the hall, the men tlirr.ivliv their h.ts into the air and shouting the name of White as he waved them compliments from the platform. S.aively had this demonstration died out before theie was another. This was occasioned by a resolution which Delegate Miles Dougherty offered.

Before presenting his resolution he declared that the members of the sub-committee and John E. White in particular, had been maligned and that the attacks and insinuations had been bitter after the terms of the tentative agreement were announced after the New York meeting. Delegate Dougherty declared he had great faith the leaders as men of sound judgment who were loyal to the cause they represent, and devoted to the duty of sacredly guarding the interests of the miners. He offered a resolution to the effect thnt the convention show by a rising ote that it had great faith in the leaders, that the delegates go on record as saying that they believed the agreement was a splendid victory and that the membei-s of the sub-committee be uphe'd as honest, faithful servants of mine workers in general. The resolution went before the house a-d when it was adopted there was another demori-t ra' ion by the delegates.

As, -they had announced on Friday, every one of the players, including such well-known ball tossers as Sam Crawford, Jim Delehanty, George Mullin and Ownie Bush, refused to meet the Athletics at Shibe Park during the afternoon, when they learned that President Ban Johnson, of the American League, had not revoked his suspension of Cobb for striking a spectator at the New York Highlanders' grounda on last Wednesday. All of the nineteen or twenty men of the Tigers' team left Shibe Park and returned to the Aldine Hotel, where they are stopping, just as the scheduled conflict between Detroit and the Athletics was due to begin and Hughey Jennings, their manager, had to substitute several college boys, "park sparrows," two or three' old timers and himself in order to prevent t.he Detroit club from being fined $5000 for not turning out a team. Jenntngrs Worried Jennings appeared worried over the situation. He admitted last night that it was a serious one.

He said that all of the striking ball players would be lucky if they were not suspended for the rest of the season, and that it was a certainty that all of them would be heavily fined as a result of the action they had taken. He explained that if they were put out of the game for the rest of the season that he could recruit players from the substitutes of other American League teams. "I would have to reconstruct roy team, and I might not le able to pet as pood a. bunch of players although maybe I could," Jennings said last night, after his return to the Aldine Hotel from Shibe Park. Both President Johnson and Frank- Navin, the" president of the Detroit club," will probably arrive here today in, order to meet with Manager Jennings and attempt to reach some agreement regarding the situation created by the action of the Detroit players.

Jennings said last night that Mr. Johnson might go to New York first in order to start there nn investigation of the circumstances surrounding the thrashing Cobb gave a fan at the Highlanders' park in the presence of Mr. Johnson himself on last Wednesday. May Recrnlt New Tram "I will be glad when Mr. Johnson and Mr.

Navin reach here," Jennings said. "I am worried by the situation and when they take the burden of it from my shoulders I shall not be sorry. I did my best today to carry out my duty to the Detroit Club, and 1 feel that I did so by putting a team in the field. 1 do not know what he boys propose to do. That is entirely up to them.

My first duty is to lock after the interests of the Detroit club. 1 must think of it rather than of the players." "How much are the players who struck likely to lose financially by refusing to play?" the Detroit manager was asked. "It is not a question of deduction from salary," he replied. "If they escape with heavy fines they will be lucky. Continued on 1 7th Page, 6th Col HUGE MONOLITH UNEARTHED Plumed Serpent May Have Been Aztec Temple Corner stone MEXICO CITY.

Only one more day, Monday, will be devoted by the President to this campaign. When he makes his last speech at Dayton Monday night, he will have traveled almost 3000 miles in Ohio, will have spoken in every Congressional district in the State, and have visited 73 of its SS counties. Ohio politicians who have talked with Mr.

Taft say that never in the State's history has there been such a campaign. In his talks today to the farmers in the counties along the western border of the State, from Lake Erie southward, the President's feeling of confidence in the outcome was reflected in his manner. Although he used plain language about Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the "Ohio bosses" at times, his old smile, that has appeared but seldom of late, was again in evidence, and he talked optimistically of the coming election with friends on board his private car. Roosevelt a Tnrn-Coat To the farmers today the President talked about Canadian reciprocity and about Mr. Roosevelt's tariff revision proposals.

He bluntly asserted that Mr. Roosevelt had changed his opinion in regard to reciprocity to get votes, and charged that be was "painting something to sell and not to use" when he made public his tariff proposals. The crowds kept coming to see and hear the President, and the bright skies and warm sun brought into the towns where he stopped thousands of farmers with their wives and children. Mr. Taft's remarks were "always listened to respectfully and often-applauded.

His voice, that came near quitting entirely earlier in the week, stood up well under the strain of a dozen speeches, and his advisers felt certain tonight that he would be able to finish the campaign next week without inconvenience, with a day of rest tomorrow at the home of his brother, C. P. Taft, in Cincinnati. Easy to Promise The President's opinion of- Mr. Roosevelt's tariff reform ideas was concisely set forth at Paulding.

He said: "Now Mr. Roosevelt has finally come to answering a question on protection, something which he has avoided for years and j-ears. He has now reached a discovery. He is in favor of that kind' of protection that will produce a profit in business so that most of it goes through the office down into the pay envelope of the wage employe. That is a very good kind of protection if you can get it.

"He states the conclusion that he would like to teach, without stating how he is going to it anout. iow it, is absurd to say that you can have a protective tariff bill that in any way will divide the profit or the earnings in the business that protective tariff bill may develop. "You cannot do it, you cannot do it any more than you can attach a machine to your collar button and have that machine so arranged that you can find your collar button under the corner of the bureau fort when it gets lost. You can promise those things and say that i3 what you would like to have, but until he develops a statute which shall show vou how he is going to do it, you and I have a right to eay "that is all very well, that is painting something to sell, not to use. Veteran for Him At Lima late today an old soldier in the audience, who sat up near the platform, rose every time the President asked a question and usually had answers ready that showed his approval of Mr.

Taft's administration. "I ask your support next week in the primary for an Ohio President who has made good, saad the fresiaent Ihe old soldier rose. .1 "We will elect vou aeain." he annotmc calmJy. The President suggested that he take his seat. to it, old stocking, go ahead old 'boy," continued the soldier.

COFFEE TRUST IS CHARGED WITH VIOLATING LAW Wickersham Withholds Says It Produce to Raise Prices Asks for.

Receiver to Sell 950,000 Bags, Worth Now Stored Away NEW YORK, May 18. Attorney General Wickersham today moved against the so-called coffee trust, or Brazilian valorization 6cheme. In a pe tition in equity filed in the United States Court here the valorization plan is de- clared to be a violation of the bnermaa anti-trsut law. The court is asked to decree the scheme unlawful to enjoin the valoriza tion committee from withholding cof fee from the market and to ap'point a receiver to sell the 950,000 bags valued at $10,000,000 now alleged to be stored in ware houses of the New York Tock Company. The government also applied for a temporary injunction restraining the valorization committee from removing or disposing of coffee held in America pending the termination of the issue.

Charged "With Conspiracy The members of the valorization committee have agreed and conspired among themselves, the government charges, to withhold from the market large quantities of coffee under their control for the purpose of raising the price to an unnatural and unreasonable extent. They have thus attempted, it is declared, to restrain the coffee trade throughout the world, including inter state and foreign commerce of the United States and "to injure and defraud the public for their own enrichment." The suit has a distinctly international color. The Brazilian State of Sao Paulo, the greatest coffee district in the world, is party to the agreements which are declared unlawful ii America. The govern men holds that the Brazilian State was induced to enact laws and enter in to agreements in connection with the valorization plan by those interested in maintaining and increasing the price of coffee. The fact that the alleged agreements and conspiracies were not unlawful in Brazil and were participated in by a foreign State, the government holds, cannot justify the commission of any act in the United States to restrain, trade.

The defendants are: Herman Sielcken, of New York; Baron. Bruno Schroeder, of J. Henry Schroeder and Company, of London; Edouard Bunge, of Antwerp; Le Vicomte des Touches, of Havre; Dr. Paulo Da Silva Prado, of Sao Paulo; Theodor Wille, of Hamburg; the bociete Generale of Paris, and the New Yrk Dock Company. All the defendants, except the last named, are members of the valorization committee.

Bass Withdrawn William T. Chantland, special assistant to the attorney general, who investigated the alleged trust, has charge of the government's case. With Jesse C. Adkins, assistant attorney general, lie brought the bill to New York and conducted the proceedings. The immediate effect of valorization was to withdraw from commerce bags of coffee, says the petition.

The price of Rio No. 7, it is pointed out as an illustration, has risen from 7z cents per pound to 14 cents, an increase of nearly 100 per cent. The petition says the amount of money realized by individuals from the valorization scheme clearly shows that its real purpose was to enrich those instigating it and not to help the Brazilian State of Sao Paulo. The $15,000,000 loan made to Sao Paulo by J. Henry Schroeder and Company, of London, and the National City Bank, of New York, in 100f, it is declared, cost Sao Paulo more than 24 per cent, by reason of interest, discount, charges for handling the loan and the expenses in connection with it.

The expense of carrying into effect the Valorization scheme through a loan of $75,000,000 in 1908 has cost, the government estimates, 3 cents per pound for every pound of coffee held by Sao Paulo for valonztaion. The defendants come within the scope of the Sherman law, it is declared, because their purpose was to reduce the world's supply of coffee, restrain its exportation from Brazil to foreign countries, including the United States, which Continued on 2d Page, 2d CoL READING MAN INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE CRASH Special to The Inquirer.

The slip in grammar landed her in the police station, where today she faces a charge of defrauding downtown department stores. The girl, the police asserted, posed as the daughter or sister of various persons having charge accounts at the stores, and she secured quantities of expensive finery, which were found in her rooms. When she appeared at a store and complained of laces purchased under the name of a society woman living on the Lake Shore drive, the clerk decided that "those there" was hardly Lake Shore drive conversation. She called the house detective. Both Wideners Reported Improved The condition of Joseph E.

NEED OF INFANT HOSPITAL URGED AT BABY SHOW Speakers Declare Phila-" del phia Lacks Proper Facilities for Work nteresting Exhibit Opens, Illustrating Scientific Care of Young Children Philadelphia's lack of sufficient hospital facilities for sick infants was brought to the attention of hundreds attending the initial session of the free Baby Saving Show, at Horticultural Hall, yesterday afternoon.

The show started under most auspicious circumstances and encouraged the committee in charge in their belief that it vould attract 500,000 visitors before it concluded its program next Sunday. Several speakers during the day deplored the lack of proper hospital accommodations for infants. Edwin D. Solenber-gcr, general secretary of the Children's Aid Society of Pennsylvania, declared that present facilities were far. from adequate and urged that efforts be made at once to secure an improvement of conditions.

"In the care of sick babies, we do not have adequate hospital facilities for children under 2 years of he said. "There are four hospitals intended exclusively for children and fortv-one hos pitals have beds for children, but the number of medical beds in the prjvate hospitals for children under two year3 of age is less than 2(0. In addition to this, the four children's hospitals have about 1.50 surgical beds. Snirsrests Social Service Work "While they are all doing splendid work, this provision does not seem to be adequate for a city as large as Pliiladel-plria. In connection with the work of the hospitals for babies there should bo developed social service departments to follow all of the children discharged from the wards.

'Ihe agents of the social service departments perform an invaluable service by being in the wards during the visiting hours, talking with the mothers, beeonting acquainted with them, visiting the home before the baby goes back to it. and keeping in touch with the doctor and the patients during dispensary hours. "When a hospital has a social service department it can bridge over for the convalescent child the gap between the hospital and the entirely different environment of the home to which the baby must in most instances be returned. The agent of the social service department can be of the greatest benefit in helping to eradicate the causes of sickne-s in the home. The social service agent can help to correct such conditions as bad plumbing, water in cellar and unsanitary surroundings in general.

The social service agent also looks after other members of the family and sees that children who need it are brought to the dispensary, given dental care, etc. Careful attention is also given to getting track of communicable disease, such as tuberculosis, etc. The head of the social service department of" one of the largest hospitals in the city states that in at least half of the cases very definite and practical help can be rendered by the sociaj service department." The show was formally opened by Di rector Porter, of the Department of Public Safety, representing Mayor Blanken-burg. The octor praised the motives of the baby saving campaign, and predicted aroused interest in the movement as a result of the show. Dr.
