Oct. i-Th great foal conference between the president and the representatives of the operat or and ml nf ri came to an end at the tetnuorarv Whllte Horn at 4:55 o'clock thin ufternonn with a failure to reach an agreement. Apparently the rock upon which the conference apllt waa tbe recognition of th miner' uu'on. President Rno- velt had urgwj the contending partle to cease tho atrlfe In the Interest of nubile welfare. The miners, through Prea'dcnt Mitchell, of the union, had expressed their willingness to aubmlt their difference to arbitration, the tribunal to be named by the president, and to enter Into an agreement to abide by the term fixed by uch ar bitration for a period of one to flv years, and employer! through presi dent of the railroad companies and prominent mine operator, had aquare Iv rvfused the arbitration, and had denounced the miner' labor organisa tion oa a lawless and anarchlntlc body, with which they could have no deal ings. Tliey had demanded the federal troop to ensure complete protection to the, worker and their families In the mining region, and court proceed ings against the miners' union, and had offered,' If the men returned to work, to submit their KTievenoc.es at individual collieries to the decixlon of the Judges of the court of common pleas for the district of Pennsylvania, in which the colliery was located. There the matter cloned. Tonight What, If anything, will result from the conference Is for the indefinite future. Today the views of the con tenders in the great Industrial strug gle were so extreme and wide apart both the miner and opf-rator are j that there was no middle ground 'pos- aiiil in (lie city, nut tomorrow theylble, and so the conference came to will return to ther ncveral localities, j an end without any agreement for Its each saying at a late hour tonight that continuation. the struggle will continue. PRESIDENT BAER MAKES DEMANDS Calls For Protection and Points Out President's Constitutional Rights. Stand Taken by Owners is Shown to Be De termined and Defiant-Terrible Struggle Impending. A remarkable chapter In the eco nomic history of the country was writ ten today. For the Prut time the pres ident of the republic Intervened direct ly between the great forces of capital and labor In an effort to avert what he himself regarded as a great na tional calamity. The result was to bring the principals n the great con troversy face to face, with the whole country Intent and watchful of their doings. Technically, Issues between the two great forces stand as they did before. President Roosevelt summoned the con tending forces to the National Capi tol, and forgetting his own acute suf fering besought them for the love of the great country wherein they dwelt, and out of pity for the countless thronra of suffering poor, to adjust their differences and to work together In Dear for a common weal. The conference lasted sis hours, in eluding the recess for three hours ve- tween the rrorning and afternoon ses sions, taken to enable the miners and operators to prepare & written re sponse to the president's appeal. This immediate parties to the Strug- rle sav that they will continue as heretofore. What course the admin istration will take next no one is pre pared to say. One of the operators as he Mt the White House was asked re garding this and he replied: "If any one knows what the presi dent will do next, that is more than I know." Fourteen men. In eluding the presi dent were at the temporary Whjte House during the momentous confer ence. President Mitchell and three of his district leaders represented the miners, and five railroad men and one Independent mine operator, the c ploy era STATE BUILDING SITES, Are Ilelng Allotted to Fair. the St. Lot Is ST.

IMPORTANT DECISION. Judge Refuses to Japanese. Naturalise a UNION MEN EXPLAIN. In Series of Letter Why They Do Not Attend Church. CHICAGO, Oct. S-The reasons why worklngmen do not belong to the church wero related In a symposium of letters sent from members of Chicago labor unions and read by the Rev Rov B. Guild, at a meeting tof the Fed erated churches of the West Side last night The opinions of the union men were classified by Mr. GuUd Into 17 heads, ranging from criticisms on the alleged prevailing atmosphere to be found In the houses of worship to the prlncipn desire of the worklngmen to spend the day In their own manner. The Rev. Mr. Guild found, however, that the non-attendance of the work man as a general thing la not from' ab sence of rellgtou feeling. In his let ter of Inquiry he asked the writers' opinion of Jesus Christ and the majo rity of the replies Indicated a deep lying spirit of reverence. Only one answer contained any !gn of disre spect and many said that Christ rep resented a pure type of union man. Several criticised the modern sermon, and said that the gospel was pesent- ed In an Indigestible manner. LEADING BROKER FAILS. NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A. B. Stock- well, a lending member of the Consoli dated Exchange, has announced his In ability to meet his contracts. The amount Involved I not yet known. Stockwell was at one time a lead ing broker in Wall street. He was as sociated with Jay Gould, Henry M. SmUh, Charles J. Osborne and Addison Cammack, and was at one time presi dent of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company. CHICAGO. Oct. 3. After vainly searching for some legal precedent that would Justify a different decision, Judge Carter has refused to grant naturalisation papers to Lee Guy Dean a Japanese, who made application with a view to becoming a citizen of the United States. "The statute on naturalization," said Judite Carter, "reads that any free white man or any native of Afrl ca or any alien of African descent may be naturalized, but that does not ap ply to Mongolians, and a Japanese Is surely a Mogolian." The only desision bearing directly on the case which Judge Carter could find was one made by a Massachusetts court and that was to the effect that an anpllcatlon from such a source could not bi granted.

We areabls to continue the struggle Indefinitely, but, confident of our ability to demonstrate to any'im oartial tribunal the equity of our de.' mands for higher wages and an lm proved environment, we propose that' the issues culminating in thi strike shall be referred to yourself and to your own selection, and agree to ac cede to your awards upon all or any of the questions Involved."
