TRANSVAAL BLUE BOOK
BRITAIN WILL TURN CONTRACTS
MADE BY KRUGER's GOV
ERNMENT

LONDON, June ia blue book was IS
sued today containing the port of the
Transvaal concession comm. sion. 1t is
clear, the commission a'ters, That stA.e
which has annexed another is not legally
bound by amy contra IT'S made by the
state which has ceased to exist, and that
no court of law has, Jurisdiction to en-
force such contra cts if the sanneXing state
refuses to recognize them.
= NE commission recommends that the
government decline to recognize the dyn-
amite and other concessions, and adds
that 1t Is satisfied DR.. Leyds and others
have received from certain directors
shares and financial considerations.
Regarding the Netherlands-So South
African railroad, the report, while ad-
uniting that the concession was legally
granted, considers it injurious that trunk
railroad lines should be the monopoly
of a single company, especially a foreiGn
company. The concession should be term
mated, even if the coz lpany's conduct ts
not open to complaint But, Its extraor-
binary action IN the war preoludes The
possibility of it's continuance under Brit
ish administration.
Discussing the position of the share
holders, the report says the belligerent
acts, for which all the shareholders were
legally responsible, caused immense
damage to Great Brit ain. Cape Colony
and Natal. The British government, as
an act Of grace may show some con
sideratton to the shareholders, but the
commission considers this should be post
poned TIN the shareholders have exhaust
ed the remedies open to them against the
directors, and until the damage done by
the company is made good

The twelfth biennial head camp Of the
Modern Woodmen of America opened yes
terday morning with an attendance
which filled the first floor Of the Audito-
rum, with a scattering Of spectators in
the elevated seats at the rear and in the
balcony. Seated upon the platform were
the officers OF the head camp members
Of the Royal Neighbors, the auxiliary So
Ciety and a number of ladies.
Rev. James L. Churm Of Waupun
Wis, the head chaplain, invoked the
blessing of God upon the proceedings Of
the convention. The Woodman quartette,
from Shelbyville, Ill, sang MY Ameri-

played a lively air, and was followed
by the Young Ladies' band of Wetmore,

mine as rescuers. What caused the eX-

export, Sickle and DAILY met death.
The explosion was terrific one. and
for fully three hours after it happened no
one entered the shaft.
The situation today again reached a
climax when Mine Inspector Bernard
Callahan, accompanied by several men,
descended the shaft and started upon an
investigating tour OF the mine. The men
gave the signal to be lowered at 9:C4 and
about an hour afterward a terrific re-
port was heard. 1t was another explo-
sion, and grave fears were entertained
as to their safety. The story of the men
was told by Callahan:
Our escape was miraculous. I have
never been in a mine wrecked like this
one. I am nearly exhausted from swal-
lowing fire damp. My lungs are Ike
Goals Of fire. There is no hope Of saving
any one IN the mine, and 1t may be a
year before the bodies are recovered.
Late this afternoon the officials Of the
Pittsburg Coal company issued an order
refusing to allow any more men to en-
ter the shaft as the danger was too
great They are now considering the ad-
visibility of flooding the mine for the
purpose of extinguishing the fire. There
is now no hope Of rescuing the entombed
men.
