Beveridge Letters just received from

ed that he was quarantined on board
ship near there with the Asiatic plague
on the vessel. One of these letters ap-
parently smuggled ashore was from the
senator himself. He states that the vic
Tins on board were Chinese from Hong
Kong. In the letter the senator says:
Thank heavens Mrs. Beveridge is at
kiotO." There has been no cablegram
from him since the late Of the letter,
although occasional cable messages
have been received from the senator
since his arrival in the Orient
Mr. Beveridge has been over great
deal of China and Travelled over 400
miles on horseback around Manila. He

70 MEN ENTOMBED
By Mine ExpIOsiOn-All But Six
Escaped Unhurt.

Brownsville, Pa, July 24.-An explo-
sion of gas and fire damp occurred today
in the mine of the Redstone Coal Oil
and Gas company at Grindstone, five
miles from here, in which seventy men
were entombed. The explosion occur
red in entry No. 10 and the force was so
great that eight men who had just de-
scended into the shaft were knocked
down and seriously injured. All es
capped, however, but a boy named Solo
mon, who had an ugly cut across the
throat. but who went back, refusing
to leave the mine until his father and
brother could be gotten out
The mine is operated by a shaft and
there is no other escape for the en-
tombed miners. The work of rescue is
being pushed vigorously. There is in
tense excitement about the mine and
the walls of the wives mothers and
children who surround the mouth of the
pit are frightful to hear.
Four men have been taken from the
mine, two dead and two injured. All
but two of the remaining men in the pit
to make their escape, so that the total
list of dead and injured number but six.
All are Hun gartans, whose name have
not been obtained.
The two men still in the mine are
supposed to be dead. The explosion Oc-
Cured just as the miners were entering
the pit by way of the shaft, which is 240
feet deep. Those who were in the mine
except the six killed and injured made
their escape by way of two other en-
frances. 1t was several hOurSe before
the extent of the disaster was known s
the miners who escaped by the two
exits had to walk several miles to re-
turn to the pit mouth. The explosion
was caused by fall into entry 10
which drove an accumulation of gas
into another entry where it was ignited

CITY CAN BUILD.
Nothing to Prevent Us Having
Convention Hall.
Judge Hazen Decides Disputed
Points Today.
''PUBLIC PURPOSES. -
Limitations of Statute Are
Not Overstepped.
City Attorney Bird Perfecting
an Appeal of Case.

Judge Fazen has ruled that the city
building contemplated by the city coun-
ell, to contain a large hall for cOnven-
tion purposes. is within the meaning of
the statute when it says the council
may erect a building for public pur-
poses" He has also decided that the
voting of the bonds was not so irreg-
ular as to invaIidate the election, had
the law itself been all right.
These rulings were made when the
motion for new trial in the city hall
injunction case was called in the district
court today. City Attorney Bird stated
to the court that his reason for making
the motion was in order to take an ap-
peal to the supreme court, but that he
wished the court to pass upon the two
other propositions involved in the case,
which Judge BaZen did not touch upon
in his decision. These two propositions
were the regularity or the election at
which the bonds were voted, and the
legality of the proceedings Of the city
council in planning a building OF the
character which the city contemplates
building.
The evidence submitted showed that
the primary object of the building was
not an auditorium" said Judge Hazen.
therefore it was not objectionable
There is no cause for an injunction on
that ground. AS to the other PROPOSE
ton, there were some Irregularities in
the submitting of the bond proposition,
but do not think they were of sufic-
lent Importance to invalidate the cleo
ton"
Mr. Bird will have these decisions in
cOrDorated in the record of the case to
be filed in the supreme court, SO that
the same questions may be passed upon
by that tribunal in order to definitely
settle just what a city building may
contain.
Mr. Bird told the court he wished to
file the appeal as soon as possible, and
R. H. Cav the court reporter, agreed
to have the record made in five days.

AFRAID OF THE TRUST.
Kansas Cracker Company Does Not
Want to Make Statement.

The Kansas Cracker company of In
dependence has written to the secretary
of state asking to be excused from fill
ing an annual statement in accordance
with the provisions of the Bush corpor-
alton law, because the company is an
independent concern and fears that to
make such a statement would so eX-
pose its affairs that the trust would i'm
mediately become informed as to the
amount of capital necessary to throttle
the antitrust company.
The secretary of state has replied to
the inquiry by saying that he has no
power to suspend the operation of the
law and states that the company must
file the necessary statements. The at
tention of the officers of the company
is called to the Kansas antitrust law,
which if enforced would protect the
company.
