Loala Cftart to Aaawer an ladlrt meat for Bribery. ST. LOVIS. Sept. 29. Robert M. Snyder, promoter and banker, of Kansas City and New York, indicted on the charge of brib ery In connection with the passaga of the Central Traction bill, for which (250,000 ia said to have been paid members of the city council, appeared today for trial before Judge O'Neill Ryan In the eri-rlnal branch of the circuit court. Snyder's attorneys are Fred W. Lehmann, Judge Wilbur F. Boyle, Judge H. S. Priest. Morton Jourdan and Major William Warner, the last named . being from Kansas City. The prosecution, as In the previous boodle rases, will be conducted by Circuit Attorney Folk and his assistants, C. Orrlck Bishop, W. 8. Hancock and A. C. Maroney. F. A. Lord, assistant district attorney ot New York, was in St. Louis Sunday In con sultation with Mr. Folk. Before the opening of court Attorney Mor ton Jourdan filed with the clerk of the ourt a demurrer, objecting on technical grounda to the progress of the trial. Subpoenas were served this morning on twenty-eight witnesses for the defense In ( the Snyder trial. Most of the witnesses are residents of Kansas City. Three arc women, one of these being the defendant's wife. The list of subpoenas served at the In stance of the defense Is as follows: J. W. MrPiirrtT, Chrlsf flottlleh, Fred C. Adams', J. C. James, R. B. Thornton, Morton Woll man, J. Scott Harrison, T. C. Bell, T. A. Snyder, Amos R. Cecil, John 3. Green, John O. Bishop, W. T. Kemper, F. P. Sebree, F. C. Chllds, W, S. Richardson. E. C.

Woods, presi dent of the National Bank of Commerce; Dr. Jones, P. E. Hatch, attorney, and G. M. Cole, banker, all of Kansaa City.' Judge Ryan took under advisement an application for a writ of habsas corpus to release Tamblyo, Schettler and Schumacher, rx-delcgates, In Jail under indictments for bribery. Then the Snyder caso was called and Judge Priest msde an elaborate argument ' In favor of the demurrer, which alleged that the Indictment was faulty and did not charge an ofTonse under the statutes of Missouri, and, finally, that the prosecution was barred by the statute ot limitations. Mr. Folk argued to the contrary and was followed by Mr. Lebmaon for the defense. The court overruled the demurrer, to which exception was taken by tho defense. The defense then filed a special plea In abatement to the Indictment, requiring, ac cording to the defense, a special trial ot the Issue whether or not the statute of limitation was a' bar to prosecution. Mr. Ijehmann made the argument In support of the contention that this Issue must be tried separately. At this point recess was taken. On the reassembling of court Judge Ryan overruled tb special plea In bar and Mr. Snyder's arraignment on tha charge of bribery followed. ' ' After the Indictment- was read the court asked the detendaat how he pleaded. Coun sel for defendant renewed plea in bar and asked to hav the trial proceed by a gen eral Jury instead of a. special Jury. ' This waa again overruled, abd upon insistence by defense on the plea. Judge Ryan ordered the clerk to enter a plea ot not guilty and proceed with the trial.' On motion of coun sel for defense, Judga.Ryan quashed the venire for a special Jury and ordered an other returnable tomorrow. The aame enlre waa summoned and court adjourned.

LEADERS OF LABOR CONFER President Mitchell and Diitriot Presidents Meet is Philadelphia. TWENTY-FIRST WEEK OF THE. STRIKE Both Aides Remain Firm and Raca Inalata that Tim Will Wt the Other Oat and Break the Strike. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. :.-Presideat Mitchell and Secretary-Treasurer Wilson of the United Mine. Workers, arrived here at 7:30 o'clock this morning from Pittsburg.

After a hurried -breakfast iht. labor lead-era- weat direct to the office of John J. Keegan, business . agent of the Machinists' International union. Later President president Mitchell went to tbe Hotel Wal ton unaccompaplsd by any of the other labor leaders. Soon after President Mitchell arrived at the Walton Messrs. Nichols. Fahey and Duffy were sent for and they Joined their leader In an upper, room of the hotel. The party remained In conference until nearly noon, when Mr. Wilson and the three dis trict presidents came down lrt the elevator and hurried away from the hotel, refusing to talk to reporters They would say noth ing about tbelr future movements. Treasurer Wilaon said to a representative of the Associated Press thst there Is no Indication of an early ending of the strike. Because of the fact that the Walton Is the headquarters of state political leaders a rumor was heard that there was political significance in the mystorioua conference. This waa denied by Treasurer Wilson, who said the meeting had nothing to do with politics. Mr. Mitchell left the Hotel Walton at 1:15 p. m., after being closeted with some one In an upper room since 9 a. m. He was met by a number of newspaper re porters and to each he made the same re ply: , "I have nothing to say." Mr. Mitchell would not tell the name ot the peraon with whom he conferred nor whether the conference was held with ret- erence to a settlement of the strike. There is much mystery surrounding the , conference and every effort to have Mr. Mitchell talk waa unvailable. He left tor Wllkesbarre this afternoon. Shipments Are Falling; Off. POTTSVILLE, Pa.. Sept. 29. The ship ments ot coal last week from the Phil adelphia Reading west end operations, Qoodsprlng and Brookslde collieries, and the Kalmla waehery, were not as good as the week previous, but there are seventy cars which were loaded last ween "and are oa the sidings ready to be taken down the road. It Is claimed there are 50,000 tons of loose coal In Goodsprlng colliery alone that can be prepared for market without a miner driving a pick. This comes from what are called "runs." The mines are on an incline, and the coal, after a quan tity Is removed below, begins to run to the gangway. Owing to the high price of coal the culm banks will probably be more profitable. The Philadelphia A. Reading Coal and Iron company baa surveyors at work designat ing sites tor the erection of washeries at different points. Among those are Swa- tara and Donaldson, where great - culm banks etlst that were dumped forty years ago and are one-halt coal. TwentyFlrst Week'Af-Strike. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 29.

John Markle, coal operator, discussing todsy the statement of President Mitchell said: Mr. Mitchell Is not voicing the senti ment of the majority ot tbe miners la the anthracite field when he aays tbe seatU meat of the miners . Is .against returning to. wqrk. All bis statements nave been refuted by tbe facta already given out by the operators." But what la New York to do for coal?" ha waa asked "If a condition, of anarchy, existed now in New York what would you want? 'You .would want the troops called" out and protection afforded you." said Mr. Markle, "That Is what we want. Give us protection snd we will give you all the coal you want." Asked whether the iufluence ot the Cath alio societies and other societies would have aay effect ta ohaaglag the policy ot the operators, Mr. Msrkle said "On the contrary, their endeavors will have but one tendency to prolong the strike. Tbe well meant efforts of taeee philaathrople people will only inspire the miners with hope and induce them to hold eut a little while longer to their owa do irlment. They will only protract the period ef ioal scarcity. Mr. Mitchell's orgaaiia- lloa will set be recognised under any clr cumataBces.-"- There Is still no fixed price Caf coal In New York.

BRYAN AND HILL FACTIONS CLASH Earn aide la Insistent and the Xomlssi tlona and Other Planks Are Likely to Be Jlesrlected by Leaders. SARATOGA. N. Y., Sept. 29 The simul- tsneous arrival late In the evening of five big train loads "of democrats, mainly from Greater New York, added to the coming In of the regular trains on which there were many more- partisans have filled the streets and hotels of Saratoga. The situation aa to the state ticket. It may briefly be said, depended this evening entirely upon the selection of a governor and lieutenant governor and awaited a final decision as to those two offices. If Judge Parker is nominated and decides to accept, the ticket. It Is thought, would read: For Governor Alton B. Parker of Ulster or Bird 8. Coler of New York. For Lieutenant Governor Randolph Gug- genhelmer of New York or Edwin 8. At- water of Dutchess. For Secretary ot Stale Duncan Lee of Ithaca. For Attorney General John Cunneen Of Erie. For Comptroller James H. Manning of Albany. For Engineer R. XV. Sherman of Utloa. For Judge of the Court of Appeals John C. Gray of New York. Concerning the Platform. The arrival of former Senator Hill, Chair man Frank Campbell of ths state committee. William Suiter, Senator McCaren and other leaders today gave rise to a discussion of the probable and proposed planks In the piatrorm to ne adopted by tbe democratic state convention. It Is learned that a tentative platform has been agreed upon, but it Is said that some of its planks are causing much discussion. William Hepburn Russell, Jacob Cantor, there Is discussion of It.' Those who two years ago were Insistent upon ad Indorse ment of the Kansas City-Chicago plank are equally so now. Mr. Sulzer, Norman E. Mack and others who represented for years Mr. Bryan's interests here sre Insisting that the plank shall be outspoken, but the other side of the controversy, led by Sena tor Hill, Is uiglng that as the so-called "liberal democracy" of the state has al ready filed a certificate of nomination of an Independent state ticket on a free sliver platform, this convention should declare for the gold standard. The only certainties In the list for nom inees this morning were John Cuneen of Erie for attorney general and Judge John C. Gray for the court of appeals. It was believed last night that Edwin Atwater of PoughkeepBte was slated for the co'mptrol- lorshlp, but today a vlgorou fight, is being made for the place by friends ot Mr. Finch of Glens Falls. Mr. Atwater, who la a wealthy banker., has been the nominee of tbe party two successive times and also has contributed largely to campaign expenses and his friends believe he should have the chance again. Fight on the Money Plnnk. The one plank that Is testing the capacity of the leaders. Id a desire to avoid friction, is the' financial 'plank, and already today James P. ShevllR. and some others are ot the opinion tha the platform should ba onei ana coniqrviim, inu, wuiie rreiaii- ing the republics party, should be ao care fully constructed as not to pledge tbe demo cratic party to policies,' if elected, it could not carry out without danger to corpora tions and individuals. So far the platform contains these planks: Canals A pledge for general Improve ment of the watarwaya at the earliest pnssl ble moment by bonding the state, avoiding direct taxation by abrogating the section of the constitution that limits the state's bmded Indebtedness. Trusts Advocating federal Interference and control of "great monopolies that threaten the people by controlling the prices of the necessities of life;" denounc ing the "meat trust" and "coal trust" spe clflclally and alleging that they are the re sults of the mal-udmlnlstratlon of affairs by republican administrators. Tariff Calling for a revision ot the tariff In the moat complete form, taking the duty off such commodities as are necessary for fiubllc use. but protecting American work ngmen where such protection is not in imical to the Interest of the manufacturer. Philippines Denouncing the acquisition of the Philippines and the continuance of mili tary control, calling attention to the alleged lack ot humanitarian methods in the eon duct of the war and demanding freedom for the Inhabitants. Cuba Accusing the federal government of not keeping ita promises in Cuba, and In deceiving the peonle by announcing inde pendence for the island, while still con tinuing military control. The administration of President Roose velt is condemned as "spectacular, undigni fied and vaccilatlng." The state administration Is denounced for its conduct of state Institutions and for extravagance. It waa- learned upon tbe best authority tonight that the party platform will con tain no allusion to the money question and It is believed that all objections to this course will be withdrawn. Bill Devery la Welcomed. The spectacular feature connected with tbe Incoming of tbe delegates was the ar rival tonight of. former. Chief of Police William Devery. who comes at the bead of the delegation from the Ninth district ot New York City. He wss given an enthus iastic reception by crowds of people who bad long waited at the depot for tbe com ing ot tbe "big chief" whose campaign for the leadership ot the Ninth district was aa sensational aa was his detest ot John C.

GANQ OF GHOULS ARRESTED Almost Every Grave In an Indian apolis Cemetery la Robbed of Its Silent Occnpnnt. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 29. The wholesale tobbery of graves In tbe cemeteries about Indianapolis was brought to a close early today by the arrest of a gang of seven ne groes. Warrants were slso Issued today for a prominent physician, the demonstrator ef anatomy of a local medical college, in which two stolen bodies were found about ten days ago; an interne in the college and the white Janitor of the college. Rufus Cantrell, one ot the negroes, made a complete confession and Implicated oth ers. He said the physician accompanied the negroes on several of the grave robbing expeditions. The policy ssy the operations of tbe gang were on a larger scale than ever before operated In the state. Upward of 100 graves. It is ssld, have been robbed by the ghouls during the last three months. Tho detectives ssy the negroes were armed with shotguna and equipped with horses snd wagons with which to do the work. The bodies were sold to different colleges which opened their winter terms within the last week. Tbe revelations made, the detectives say, are not tnly astounding, but horrifying. They say that a complete investigation will probably show that even the graves In Crown Hill were desecrated bv the ghouls. Cantrell said that be and the other ne groes visited Mount Jackson cemetery al most every time anyone was burled In tho plsce. "We pretty nearly cleaned that place out," he said. "I don't believe that we have missed anybody that has been planted there since July." Cantrell said there were some graves that were not disturbed because the flowers and other articles on top were arranged in such a manner that the gang did not feel confi dent of restoring the graves to their for mer appearance. The negroes under arrest are: Walter Daniels, Sara Marjin, Sol Grady, Garfield Buckner, William Jones, Rufus Cantrell and Isaam Donnel. All live In Indianapolis. When the ne groes were brought into court all weakened and confesed that they were members of an organized gang of ghouls. Mount Jackson, a cemetery Just across the river west of the city, has been left practically empty by the grave robbers. "Rufus" was the password at the med ical college, and when It waa uttered by tbe returning ghouls the doors of the college would always be opened without questioning. The statement that Crown Hill, one of tbe best kept cemeteries In the United States, has probably been In vaded bv the grave robbers, bus caused Indignation. One of the ghouls said It usually took about twenty-five minutes to rob a grave. The law in Indiana Is very Btrlct and provides for effective punishment of ghouls by long Imprisonment.

NEW RECORD FOR CORN CROP f rsieat Year Beats the Former Tap Tignr bj Two Hundred Million Bushels. SUPPLY ALMOST ENOUGH FOR TWO YEARS Large nrplas for Kspnrt and AIimi an Asanrnnce tit Plentiful rtnpply for the Demands of Feeders. WASHINGTON. Sept. 2!. Experts of Ihe Department of Agriculture ave been busy making calculations npou the inMIOon to the wealth of the nation that Is to be aided by the harvesting of the corn crop of th present year. There is no longer any (lun ger from frost. Tho work of gathering thi early crop has been commenced In some sections, and the estimates on the year's production can now be made almost to the bushel. These estimates show thst the record In the hit-tory of cereal production" Is about to be broken. Figures are avail able now to show the crop for the present year will exceed 2,:.n0.nno,nn0 bushels, enough to supply the needs of the orld for this year and next even should there be a total crop failure In 1903. In 1900 the United 8tates raised 2 000.000. 000 bushels of com; In l'.tOl, l..";00.000.000 bushels. In 1898 the crop was near to the present bumper yield, making 2.285.000.000 bushels. Last year, because of the scare Uy, corn sold at excessive prices. In Kansas the farmets obtained 90 cents a bushel for the crop. The average price was 60 cents. The whole crop sold for $29,553,768. In 1S99. when the crop was twice as large, the price obtained by the farmers was $629,210, 110. The value of the corn crops last year aas $10 an acre, while In 1896, the greatest eorn year prior to this one, $6 was the aver age price obtained by the farmers. In 1889 corn sold in some parts of the United States for 10 cents a bushel, the lowest price ever known. Valoe of Ksporta. The corn crops of the United States are worth from $600,000,000 to $900,000,000 every year. The exports average from $175,000, 000 to $200,000,000 annually, or one-tenth of the yield. Only 25 per cent of the corn raised Is exported from the states where It Is grown. Some states never raise enough corn to supply the home needs. Tbe middle west states are the principal corn produc ers. Illinois Is tbe principal exporter. Figures of the Agricultural department on the corn crop and its result and wealth are bewllderlngly large. One of the corn ex perts today made the following statement: "While we raise more wheat than any other people In the world, we produce five times as much corn as wreat. We raise three bushels of corn for every bushel of oats. Our corn crop Is about four-fifths of the world's crop. Indeed, this cereal Is practically our own, since many countries Argentina, Mexico, Egypt nnd the Balkan states miiBt unite their harvests to make up the Infinitesimal total which is not pro duced within our national boundaries. Its value is our own discovery. The soil and climate conspire to make the Mississippi basin a rich field for Its growth. Iowa, Kan sas, Nebraska and Illinois can each be de pended upon to produce more than 200,000. 000 bushels per annum In prosperous years, and other states in this belt are not far behind In the work of running up the coun try's grest total. "If wc have an immense crop of corn we shall be assured of a large export trade. By diligently advertising this grain we have at last aucceeded In creating a market for It in Europe, when we have it to spare, at a fair price. In the government's fiscal year 1900 we exported 209,000.000 bushels of corn and In 1901 about 177,000,000. The trade then reached a value of more than $80,000, 000 annually. Last year we could aend abroad only 26,000,000 bushels, of an esti mated worth or $16,000,000. The large crop means more cattle and hogs, and cheaper beef, bacon and all kinds of meat products. It will invigorate the carrying trade on tbe railroads and on ocean freight lines, and will in a variety of ways contribute to the Industrial prosperity of the country.
