Full ACCIDENT AT WEST PITTS
TON, PA. EARLY YESTERDAY
MORNlNG-DUE TO THE ALLEGED
CARELESSNESS OF THE ENGIN-
BERTHE CARS WEIGHED ELEV
EN- TONS.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, November s.
Seven men were killed and three IA
tally injured at the Exeter colliery of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, at
West Pittston, near here, to-day. The
accident was due to the alleged care
lessness of Engineer David Price, who,
it is said, acting in disobedience of
positive orders, caused three cars to
run into the top of the shaft. These
cars, loaded and weighing eleven tons,
fell down the $50 foot shaft and
crashed with frightful force upon the
carriage carrying ten men. Seven were
almost instantly killed. They are:
MICHAEL SMITH, So years old,
miner, married; leaves widow and four
children.
ANDREW TINKO, 40 years; miner,
married; leaves widow and six child
rem.
MICHAEL PODESABANNY, %
years; miner, unmarried.
MICHAEL BRAZUKE, 33 years;
miner, unmarried.
JOSEPH CULOCK, % years; mar
ried leaves widow and one child.
MICHAEL WASLOWSKI, 45 years;
unmarried.
JOSEPH ANDREWosKI, 80 years;
unmarried.
The injured are:
WILLIAM PUKOS, miner; internal
injuries.
JOSEPH WHISTLER, laborer; head
and back lacerated.
PAUL LECKSNONES, labcrer; con-
fusion of the spine.
The accident occurred at 6:30o'clock,
as the men were going to work and
being sent down the Exerter shaft in
parties of ten. At the same time En-
gineer Price, in charge of the dinky
engine, was shifting loaded cars from
the New Red Ash shaft, several hun
bred yards away, to the Exerter
breaker. This track approached the
head OF the Exertcr shaft and at
distance OF so feet front 1t curved
gently to the right and around the
shaft to the breaker. At the point
where this track commenced to curve
was a switch and the 80 feet of track
leading to the head of the shaft was
used for storing crippled cars. Close
to the head OF the shaft 1t was closed
by head block.
Prices orders were to approach the
breaker with the engine at the head OF
the train. A few days ago he was
caught pushing cars and was threaten
ed with discharge for disobeying Or
ders. To-day ne did the same thing.
The train was going at good speed
when, instead of curving around the
shaft, the cars dashed into the switch,
which was open. Price reversed his
engine, but it was too late. The cars
struck the head block, smashed it and
three of them toppled down the shaft.
About 90 feet from the bottom they
struck the carriage with awful force,
completely wrecking it. The mass OF
wreckage fell to the foot of the shaft,
choking it, and when, after hard work,
he men were extricated, seven were
lead and three fatally hurt. The in
ured were taken to the hospital

any one will quickly learn who takes

and made for shallow water. The men

now a political necessity. The posses

waii makes it so. The construction of a
waterway across the isthmus which
would permit the passage Of our war

tage to our country. If the canal is not
speedily constructed under our auspices,
the work will be undertaken by some
other power and its control lost to us.

with proleptic vision that the destiny of
this country would force it to the con-
Etruction of such a canal. He has this

MfqueIOn and St. Pierre Left From
the Wreck of the Once Glorious
Colony of New France England
Has Her Eye on Them.
Especial Correspondence.1
MONTREAL Nov. TN view Of the
present strained relations between
France and England unusual interest
has been aroused in two apparently in
significant little islands lying off the
southern coast of Newfoundland. Those
two islands are the little points of land
known as MiquelOn and st. Pierre To-
gether making up but 85 square miles
of territory, they stand barrenly up out
of the Atlantic, the two lonely spars
that remain from the wreck of the once
magnificent colony of New France. In all
that North America colony once swayed
by the French sword it is on these two
little islands alone that the f1eur-de-lis of
France still waves. And now the hasty
mobilization of the British squadron at
Halifax seems to presage that in case of
actual hostilities between the two great
European powers this last ironical rem
nant of her once great American colony
will be torn from the fingers of France,
just as Dewey summarily wrested from
Spain her possessions in the orient
A strange fatality seems to attach to
every colonization effort put forth by
the French republic. Although she has
had her Carriers and her Champlains,
her Marquettes and her Marchands,
those foreign possessions over which the
tricoIor floats are today comparatively
insignificant. Remem bering the blood
she has spilled for the sake of her for
eign possessions, the colonial policy Of
France has been a tragically costly one.
To the islands Of st. Pierre and Mi
quelon, however, she has chung with
desperate tenaoity. Time after time her
vigorous policy for the retention of this
last lingering latter of American terri
tory has all but brought about a rupture
with England, and time after time the
persistent claim for her Newfoundland
coast rights has brought her into con-
hiot with the English colonial Office.
1t is not generally known that this
claim Of France to these islands is so
substantial as is actually the case. By
the treaty Of Utrecht, in 1913, Great
Britain obtained the sovereignty of the
island of Newfoundland, since which
time the island has remained a crown
colony. There are many reasons for ac-
cepting the tradition that the adventur-
GUS usHermen Oh Nor1ndnGy, brittany
and the Basque provinces had ventured
over to these shores before either Cabot
or Cortereal sighted them; but it was,
of course, the discoveries of the latter
which called the attention of Europe to
the great fishing grounds of America,
and for over a century France and Eng
land contested the possession of New
foundIand. The struggle ceased with
of iT7op
the right to catch and dry fish from
Cape Bonavista, north to Point Richie,
a coast distance of $50 miles, and re-
tanning also possession of St. Pierre and
Miquelon.
Fishing is the only industry of these
two little islands, but it is not for the

cod or the seal that comes from them
that France finds them so valuable. The
possession of a coaling station and har-
Dor or two in eastern Atlantic waters is
the vital consideration. The agricultural
products of the two islands do not ex-

toes, turnips and few other sturdy
root crops. 1t is by fishing on the cod

come from selling bait and supplies to
the fishing schooners.
The fishing craft that visit the pro-
life waters in the neighberhood of these
islands come from the maritime prov
inces of Canada, from Newfoundland
itself, from the New England states and
from France. International disputes re-
gazding fishing privileges have been 60
ing on for years, and one of the topics
brought up for discussion at the recent
Quebec conference had to do with the
establishment of some more satisfactory
understanding with relation to fishing
rights. France and England, too. have
their periodic Equabble over the same
point, and French insistence on an abb
solute regard of all their Newfound-
land rights has been a source of con-
slant irritation to the imperial authori-
ties in Downing street. It would not be
surprising, then, in view of such things
that one Of the first movements to be
made by England should war between
that country and France ever be de-
clared would be to wrest from the Gal
lie republic those two apparently insig-.
nifcant little islands lying east of the
foggy Newfoundland banks. The lion
has had his coyetOus eye on those di-'
minutive points of land for some time
and if France in case of war retained
an attitude consistent with her former
policy it is not unlikely a great naval
battle would take place on this side of
the Atlantic. AETHUR j. STRNGER.

Consigned to Marked Graves.

In the Civil War hundreds OF
brave soldiers who fell upon the field
of battle were consigned to unknown
graves, for the simple reason that in
their sad cases Identification was i'm
possible. But the war department
has adopted measures by which SOL
diers will fare better in the conflicts
of the future. We quote in this con
nection from the Philadelphia North
American. In outlining the meas
ures adopted by the war department,
this newspaper authority observes:
This unhappy fate will be guarded
against in the future by having the
soldiers when they go into action
wear around their necks small tags
made Of aluminium, upon which shall
be stamped the numeral assigned
each man on the muster rolls, with
the letter of his company, battery or
troop and his regiment. By this
plan the men who die for their coun
try may be easily identified and will
thus be saved from the fate of being
consigned to an unmarked grave.
It is meritorious plan and the war
department is deserving Of commend
alton for the foretbought and con-
sideration which prompted it. While
the idea of wearing tags may be
somewhat revolving to the instincts
of chivalry, still the precaution seems
to be wise and proper.
