Everyone connected with the conference was very reticent, but it is learned that the pres ident is much concerned over the situ ation, the near approach of winter and the' great scarcity of coal. Just what action can be taken is not known. The fact that a move lias been made in the Massachusetts courts to have receivers appointed for the coal companies was discussed, but the legal view was that this was entirely inadequate and would not be likely to relieve the situation. The impression prevails that one reason for the hurried visit of Secretary Root to New York was for the (purpose of discussing (with the leading business men of that city the situation, with a view to bringing the strike to an end. The conferees met again at about 2 o'clock and a session was held in. the president's room. Ir.' Lung called fhortly after the second conference be gan, but did not see the president. The second. conference lasted less than an hour. The coal situation -was further discussed, tout the participants refused to make "any statement when they came from the president's room. At the conferences today there was a full discussion of the several sug- Toilet Soaps We have just received a big stock, of 47ll.

The suggestion that received the most fa vorable consideration was that either personally or through his representa tives the president should invite the strike leaders and representatives of the coal companies to confer, with a. view to ending the embarrassing situation. The discussion of this point bad pro ceeded far enough as early as yester day to cause Secretary Root to make his visit to New York to confer with some' of the men directly interested in the strike and of making them ac quainted with the president's inten tions. Some doubt was expressed at today's conference as to the possibility of obtaining any practical result from such a conference. It was decided, however, that the matter Be more fully discussed after the return of Root to morrow. The present outlook is that the president will convey to the strike leaders and operators his desire tha,t they meet once more , wih a view to bringing about a settlement, in Wash ington or elsewhere, and that they act at once. COAL FAMINE INCIDENTS- New York, Sept. 30. -The coal oper ators held their weekly meeting today and announced af terwardaji ttiat the strike would" not be settled, aild there was no fear oi a winter's mine of coal, because plenty of if would be here at reasonable prices belore cold weather . They said unconditional sur render by the men were the only terms by which the strike could he ended. President :Baer said the outiooic was brighter and more . coal was being mined. Chicago Sept. 30. Senator" Mason, in a letter to President Roosevelt on the coal strike says in part: "We are feeling a dreadful coal fan- m ftere in Illinois. My wnstltuents cannot get coal -without .paying! four or five times its . aotua.1 value. I moat earnestly urge you lo'callohgress to gether to take some action and if the ipeople must suffer from cold and sick ness we can let tnem Know xne aetuai fajcts arid devise some way to laivoid a very great danger."

C, WEDNESDAY- anthracite: coal can be had here ait any price, says a Rochester special to the Times. Sidewalk inspectors report that in the outlying: districts residents are tearing up the board sidewalks aad using them for fuel. Altogether sev--eral miles of plank walks have been pried up with crowbars and carried off. In some sections canal bridges have been stripped of planking. Piles of new lumber left on the streets for repairs also have disappeared. New York, Sept. 30. Hospitals of- this city are threatened with being sel riously affected by the scarcity of coal. The J. H. Hood Wright hospital has only enough coal to last his week, while St. Lrtike's was so fortunate a.s to obtain a cargo of 240 tons about a week ago, enough to last two months. St. Marys hospital for children , has prac tically no supply of steam coal and is using furnace coal, of which it has about 25 tone. This conditions prevails at many other institutions. It was said at the office of the char ities department that no real distress had been experienced in any of the city's institutions. The price of anthracite has reached $21, but some retailers are peddling out their small supply at $15 or $16 to old customers . Importation of Welsh anthracite and French bituminous coal can in no way relieve the situation, for the few car goes that have been landed are of lit tle account. At least a month Is re quired, however, to fill the orders. The cost of importing Welsh coal under normal conditions is about $7. 4 . NO STREET GARS RUN IN CITY OF NEW ORLEANS New Or-ieans, Sept. 30. Nearly the entire ipolice force of New Orleans was concentrated this morning at the Ara bella barn of the New Orleans Street Railway company, 'with the . expecta tion that there would be trouble when the company attemipted to run its ears, on this, the third day of the strike of its etmployes. This iprecaution was taken because most of the company's cars -are kept in this tern and are dis patched from there on their different routes. It was ascertained, however, that the power -connecting- all but one of the circuits in this barn with the outside lines had been cut off. The railway people believe the supply wire was cut Sunday. The cutting off of the power will mot prevent the running of ceurs in the low- cr or business part oi tbe city, tot II any cars mail or passener are moved tne -mule -will iwooawy -d used as-the sower. The electric linemen in the employ of the railway coatnipiany, -who went out on -a. sympathetic strike yesterday, refuse to locate the break in the supply wire or repair it, A mail car made a trdp down Canal street about 9 o'clock -this morning', with a quantity of mail matter and many carriers and policemen aboard. Not a passenger car has moved since 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and although all kinds and conditions of conveyances are seen on the streets for the accom modation of the public, there is great inconvenience. INDIANAPOLIS FACES HARD WINTER Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 30. This city faces the distressing1 fact that tomor row the supply of natural gas for fuel and heating purposes will be entirely cuit off. For weeks ipast, or ever since the announcement came that the gas would be shut off, thousands of worje men have been engaged remodelling houses and constructing new chimneys designed" for coal or wood fires. De spite the usual activity, however, it has been found impossi-ble to build 'more than a third of the chimneys nec essary, so that hundreds of property holders are figuring on withstanding the rigors of winter . as best they can. It is estimated thait not less than 20,000 fireplaces have been 'built or will be built before winter sets in, the work affording employment for a large num ber of masons and other artisans.

WILCOX GETS NEW TRIAL FIRST TRIAL WAS NOT CONDUCT ED ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE LAND He Must be Tried Without any Demonstration of Lawless ness or Intimidations THECOURTS MUST STAND - qr CIVILIZATION. DECISION OF THE SUPREME pOXJRT HANDED DOWN TESTER DAY IN THE NOTED CASE GIVES WILCOX ONE MORE CHANCE FOR HIS LIFE. Special to the Gazette. lialeigh, N. C, Sept. 30 The Supreme court handed down a decision granting a. new trial to James Wilcox, who was found guilty at Elizabeth City of mur dering Nellie Cropsey, the court holding that a new trial was necessary on ac count of the lawless demonstrations and intimidation which worked the closing scenes of the, trial. The court says in its ODinion: "No person ought to be taken or dis seized of his household, liberties or v"vnegas or outlawed or exiled or in any manner deprived of his life, liberty or property, but by the law of the land. And that provision of our state consti tution applies as well to proceedure and manner deprived of his life, liberty or property, but by the law of the land. And that provision of our state consti tution -applies as well to proceedure and? manner of trial in our courts ot j"aie as it does to tne great princi ples, of law which underlie our society. Under the law of the land all personr charged with crime are as much enti tled to a fair and unprejudic'-' trjj-1 as they are to the protection of their per sons, their property, or their repute -tions." After referring to the fact that the prisoner was convicted on- circumstan tial evidence the court says: "in readini the record In this case It hardly seems (possible-.' that the jury ICPU14, have , given .that cautious and vfcg-Saht attention' to the eyfdeheewtch the law requires of them, or to the (presentation of the (prisoner's case to them by his counsel that thought which the importance of the case demanded. In their immediate presence 100 oeoole m their aeitate purpose to preju- dice the rights of the prisoner, com mitted, el great wrong against the com monwealth and a contempt of court. On the outside of the court house graat improprieties took place for the purpose of prejudicing the prisoner with the jury. No such demonstrations were ever witnessed in our state before, and for the honor of the commonwealth, such ought not to be repeated." The court further says: "The disor- l derly proceedings assumed such nrc- portions as to warrant this court in de claring that the trial was not conducted according to the law of the land. "The prisoner must not only be tried according to the forms of law, but his trial must be unattended by such influ ences and such demonstrations of law lessnees ana intimidations 'as were present on the former occasion. The courts must stand for civilization, for proper administration of law in orderly proceedings. WATSON WAS UNABLE TO FIRE HIS BIG GUN Special to the Gazette. Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 30.

He was kept busy replying to Hick, and the result -was anything but satisfactory to him. The audience was divided in sympathy and impartially liberal in ap plause. LARGEST CONVENTION 111 WILKES' HISTORY Special to the Gazette. North Wilkesboro, Sept. 30. Old Wilkes is in training for the fight. The largest county convention ever held in the history of the country met here yes terday and put out the strongest ticket yet known. The enthusiasm was un abounded and the patriots ful of life. Hon.

There were a thousand persons present, including Aguinaldo and the FJlipinos who were exiled to the island of Guam and were brought back here recently. Aguinaldo was very reserved.
