Attorney Charles St. John of Hume ST. LOUIS NEXT YEAR INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 3 After de cidlng that the next annual convention should be held in St.

Louis, the an nual convention of the United Mine Workers of America reached final ad Journment at a few minutes before o'clock this morning and In a few minutes those delegates who were to go to Toledo to attend the Interstate joint conference were on their way to the union station, as it had been de cided that the two special trains over the IL D. that were to carry them to that city should leave Indianapolis at 3:30 a. ni. The place for the next annual convention was decided on the second ballot. Three cities were voted on St.

Louis, Columbus. and Indianapolis. On the first ballot the vote stood: St. Louis, 252; Columbus. 223; and Indianapolis, 212.

It had been agreed that the city receiving the majority vote should be selected and that the city receiving the lowest number of votes on the first ballot should drop out. On the second ballot St. Louis received 387 votes and Columbus received 284. On behalf of Indianapolis short speeches were made by Andrew Smith, representing various local civic bodies, and S. J.

Sullivan on behalf of the Central Labor Union. Thomas L. Cannon, of St. Loui3, spoke on behalf of St. Louis and the claims of Columbus were set forth by John Bassel.

Just beore adjournment, E. S. Mc-Cullough and John II. Walker were elected delegates to the next convention of the Western Federation of Miners, and W. AV.

White and G. W. Savage, who received the next highest votes, were elected alternates. Appeals and Grievance. Practically the entire night session was occupied In thrashing out the various features of the report of the committee on appeals and grievances, and several hours of that time were occupied in long explanations and discussion of the various features of the old Osage county strike in Kansas, and the question as to whether President Lewis had advised the operators of Kansas to refuse to check off an assessment levied by the mine workers of Kansas for the purpose of supporting the men who were on strike in Osage county.

Alex Howat, president of that district, had contended that such advice had given by-President Lewis, and President Lewis denied this. The entire matter of the strike was also gone into with much detail. The matter had come before the committee In the form of a resolution, in which it was demanded that Howat submit his proofs to the convention. During the discussion, President Lewis pointed out that, as far as was shown, the allegation that President Lewis had advised a discontinuance of the check-off assessment had come rom W. D.

Ryan, of the Southwestern Coal Operators' Association, and he claimed that Ryan was one of the men who were desirous of getting him out of the presidency. E. McCullough, who was presiding as temporary chairman during the discussion, said that the only question before the convention in the matter was as to whether President Lewis-had advised a discontinuance of the checkoff assessment. He said that Howat had claimed he could prove that President Lewis had advised this and that President ''Lewis had said that he could not, and that it was up to the convention to decide whether it had been proved. Turmoil Sets In.

A motion was thenmade to the effect that, in the judgment of the convention, sufficient evidence had not been produced by Howat to justify his position in his contention that President Lewis had advised a discontinuance of the checkoff. The motion was declared adopted by a rising vote that was counted, and then turmoil set in. There was a demand for a recount, and again it was shown by a vote that the motion had carried. There were yell3 for "roll call" from various delegates. Some other delegates, tired of the matter, were calling "Toledo" and several were trying to get the floor at the same time.

The gavel was pounding a wild tattoo, but finally sufficient quiet was secured to enable John Walker to gain the flor. and he made a plea for "harmony and better order for the sake of the organization, and oIer was once more and the committee on appeals and grievances once more resumed its report. At times there were disturbances from some delegates who were apparently weary of the long session and wished either to go to Toledo or to go home, but finally the report of the committee took up various disagreements in various parts of the country, was finished. A motion had been made at the beginning of the reading of the report that the various grievances embodied In it should be referred to the International executive board, but this was voted down by the delegates who apparently wished to see the wheels go round. The meeting last evening was under a suspension of the rules that the work might be completed and the miners start to Toledo.

Decatur's Exclusive Agents Temporary Location 112 E. Prairie St YOUNGEST JUDGE Reddington Trial Proceeds in Clinton Before Crowds of Citizens. 1NYEST1CAT0RS TESTIFY One Says, "Drinks Came Freely and So We Drank Freely. rr ivrov Feb. 3.

Judge Hawbaker. the "oungest county judge in II inois. conveed8court promptly at 9 clock this morning and lost no me in gU ting the case of the People vs. Ked-JSXton under way. John Ful ler for the State, opened on behalf the prosecution, and it was noticeable that he went beyond the mere formal abatement of the case.

The proec-tlon seemingly feel gratified at Uie result of the li.iuor cases as far as the have gone and are working hard to accomplish as much In those remaining. Attorney Miller for the defense made a statement on behalf of the defend ant and if possible, he went even further than did Mr. fuller. He was fre-qucnaly interrupted by objections Interposed by the state's attorney and it was with no little difficulty that he finally closed. All witnesse were then excluded from the court room under a rule that has prevailed in all of these cases.

The court room was crowded to the galleries all day with men and women who were present, not altogether out of curiosity, but were apparently deeply Intdrested In all the proceedings. Arthur Tennant. town clerk, was the witness called for the state and testified that he had gone to Kedding-ton's place and demanded the government license which was refused him Keddlngton was then plr.ced on the stand, but the defense objected to his answering any questions and they were upheld by the court. iDvewtlgator TrMlfleM Frank Cummins, one of the investigators, was the first witness called to testify concerning the sale of intoxicating liquors by the "defendant. He told of his arrival here the ISth day of October and of his first going to the saloons of William Sheehan and Kd Crang, and finally going to the place conducted by Reddington.

Red-dlngton was alone in his place of business at the time the witness arrived there. Cummins and the other Investigator, Baker, bought tn-o bottles of lager beer, and drank them, returning In the course of an hour and drinking two more. Then they bought four other bottles and took them to their rooms at the Magill house. Here they were labelled, and afterwards passed on for the examination of a chemist and they are today in evidence in the trial of the case. Cummins testified that he knew the taste of beer and that what he bought at Reddington's place was undoubtedly lager beer.

Baker was placed on the stand and fully cor roborated the testimony of Cummins. Baker was questioned closely on some of the data he had given about the building and stated that in going to these places that they always looked the rooms over very closely on the first visit. Baker also testified that Reddington was the first to sell he and Cummins beer after- they got to Clinton. He said "the drinks came freely here in Clinton, and'we drank it It further developed that the witness had tried two or three othet places in the city but had ftiiled to get the desired evidence. Impeachment Attempt Probable Tomorrow morning the defense promises to spring a sensation In the endeavor to impeach the witness Baker: character will be questioned, and i lets for the past several years will be thoroughly gone into, if the court will permit.

The defense claims to have suffh-ient evidence to put his credibility as a witness In doubt, but whether they will be allowed to get this to tho jury remains to bo seen. The state closed its case shortly before 6 o'cloclf tonight after having put In one of the best day's work yet accomplished In these cases. They have piled up a mass of evidence against Reddington that is going to be very hard to overcome. Some think that this Is the strongest case that the prosecution has made out up to the present time. Reddington's place has been In rather bad repute and there were plenty of witnesses to testify that they got something there that "looked like beer, smelled like beer, tasted like beer and foamed like beer." The case la expected to go to the Jurv late tomorrow evening and the general opinion is that it will not taka the jury to do its work.

Judge Hawbaker has tried the present case very carefully and he is much pleased with the conduct of the attorneys on both sides as well as the behavior of the audience, He said to- til t.hat;, consideriiS the interest taken In those cases, he was ind-e. th.6 maintained ouch good order in the court room.
