Ji Edward Ad dicks, who has within six votes of the necessary majority In tho dead locked legislature for United States senator, tonight Issued a statement In which he tays that the "bolters" or it-guUr republicans, having broken faith with his faction, the Union re rubllcans, and violated the agreement made before ihc Joint primary elec tion on October 4, it Is Impossible to consider any co-operation with the bolters In the future.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 30. Kansas will use voting machines.

The general opinion is that the Australian system at pres ent la use is too cumbersome. crators arc willing to concede an ad vance though conceding that present conditions do not justify it After the usual preliminary skirmishing tho conference betwepn the miners anil wlneowners undoubtedly will resolve itself In a controversy over tho r mount of the" wage Increase. It Is believed thai tho miners' wage committee will be willing to receive an increase of 15 per cent, or even less, though they go Into the confer ence prepasod to demand an advance of 25 per cent. It seems that the Ohio and West Virginia miners are asking the maximum. The miners of Indiana. Pllnols and Western Pennsylvania Bnd Central Pennsylvania favor a demand for an advance of 15 to 25 per cent The result of the conference is binding only on the miners and oper n'tor3 or tho bituminous field In what Is known as the central competitive district. This district includes the ctates or Illinois, t Indiana and Ohio, and tho PHUburg or Fifth district in Pennsylvania. Only bituminous roal Is mined In this District The anthracite operators have not yet ac l.nowledgcd the organization to the extent of meeting U in wage confer cure. The scalps In all 24 states however, depend on the scale that If signed In the central competitive dis trict, as all otuer scales are signed on the basis of that settlement. Con spquently (he results of the confer ence begun today are of paramount Importance to miners and operators in Iowa, Missouri, West Virginia, Ken tucky, Tennessee and other states outside tiki central competitive dis trict. Besides making the demand for an advance in wages, it Is known that the miners will ask the operators to put lhe rnn-of-mlne system into effect and grant a proportionate Increase for the inside and outside common labor around the mines. ' A smaller dlfferen tlon between pick and machine-mined coal will also be demanded. - Owing to the number and Importance of tho questions to bo discussed and acted upon it Is probable that the confer ence will Le in' session 10 days or longer.
