have been pouring in upon congress
in the way of petitions ever since
the beginning of this session. 1t
would seem that nearly every labor
organization in the country sent
each member of congress separate
petition, asking that ships of the
navy be built in government yards.
The object of this was plain. The
unions insist that whenever labor
is employed on such ships the gov
ernment standard of eight hours a
day shall prevail. The House a.
dopted this amendment, in spite of
the assertion that the cost would
be great deal more and that it
was doubtful if the ships would be
as good.
Another great victory for the Ia
boring interests was the passage of
the house bill providing that all
work entering the government con-
tracts should be performed by la
Dor employed but eight hours. If
the bill should pass the senate in
its present shape it would mean
that labor on the ships that are not
built in government yards, as well
as that on any other work which is
TO become government property,
must bs performed on the eight
hour schedule. Just how far reach
ing this legislation will be depends
upon the construction which exec
utive officials of the government
give the law when it is finally en-
acted. Some say that it would en-
ter into every piece of steel or stone
used in government building and
every bit of iron or steel in ship.
1t is move in the direction of
eight hours, and the laboring or.
ganizations believe if they can get
this legislation enforced, that with
the threat of compelling the build
ing of more ships in government
yards they have practically won
the eight-hour fight throughout
the country.

OVER TWO HUNDRED MEN AND
BOYS ARE KILLED.
Gas Becomes Ignited-Roadman
Blown Out of the Entrance
Only One Saved-Disaster
Was in Tennessee
Other News.

OtlYS IuGt luSbdub u0d Ill dG lu0 = Td-
terville coal mine, located two
miles west of this town, at 7:30 o.
clock this morning because of gas
explosion.
Of the large number of men and
boys who went to work this morn
ing only one is alive, and he is so
badly injured that he cannot live.
This man is William Morgan, an
aged Englishman, who was a road
man in the mine. He was blown
out of the entrance by the force Of
the explosion. One hundred and
seventy-fve miners were checked in
for}work this morning by the mine
boss. In addition to those there
were boys who acted as helpers and
drivers, add roadmen and others to
the mum Der of perhaps 80.
The Fraterville mine is the old
est mine in the Coal Greek district,
having been opened in 1870. Tt is
fully three miles from the opening
of the mine to the point where the
men were at work. They had not
been at work long before the terri.
BILE explosion occurred. There was
fearful roar, and then flames shot
from the entrance and the air shafts.
AS soon as possible two rescuing
parties started in, one at the main
entrance, the other through the
Thistle mine, which adjoins, and
in which no men were at work. The
Thistle party was unable to make
any head way, as the gas stified the
workers. The Fraterville party
went fully two miles under the
earth until heavy fall of slate was
encountered. At this barrier the
men worked desperately, hoping a
gainst hope that those beyond
might be safe.
The news of the disaster spread
quickly, gand the scenes at the
mouth OF the mine while-the work
ers were within Sere beyond de-.
scription. Work was suspended in
Coal Greek and all its mines as
soon as the news became known,
and men, women and children gath
cred around the Fraterville entrance.
Women whose husbands and cons
were within were wild with grief.
All day long the rescuers toiled at
the slate obstruction, AID not until
5 o'clock did they force an entrance
through it. Up to that hour only
5 dead bodies had been recovered,
aud hope was still high that many
miners within were safe. The
hopes of the living were doomed,
however, for when once the rescu-
ers had entered and proceeded they
walked along one continuous tomb
of death. There was not sign of
life. Every man had perished, they
believed, although it will be early
in the morning before all the rooms
can be entered.
Eight dead bodies were first re-
covered, and these were sent to Coal
Greek. Twenty-six were soon found.
They were not disfgured beyond
Identification, and each corpse as it
was borne from the mouth of the
great tomb was surrounded by eager
crowds of relatives of the men who
had been stricken down. The mine
was not on fire, except in remote
portions, and all the bodies will
perhaps be reached before daylight.

BENTON TRACY
HIS REMAINS LAID TO REST NEAR
CORVALLIS THURSDAY.
Faithful Old Friends Attended,
Marys River Bridge-Bids to
Be Opened Monday for
New Structure.

The mortal remains of Benton
Tracy who was murdered in juno
ton early Tuesday morning were
inferred in Newton cemetery, west
of Corvallis, Thursday afternoon.
The body arrived in hearse from
Albany. The wife and other be-
reaved relatives came in from Junc-
ton on the afternoon train. On
account of no notice having been
given of the funeral but few per-
sons were aware of the burial oc-
casion, and but little more than a
dozen old friends of the deceased
went out to the cemetery. At the
grave w E Yates made few brief
remarks, and the body was lower
ed into the grave, old friends of
past years throwing in the shovels-
full of earth that are to separate the
dead clay from the busy world.
On the first page of this issue is
to be found an article, giving furth-
er details of the murder, brief ac-
count of which appeared in We'd
nesday's TIMES. Beyond the
statements there made, nothing is
known of the midnight scene in
which Ben Tracy lost his life. Late
Tuesday afternoon Chief A1exand-
er received by telephone descrip-
ton ofthe man who is suspected of
the crime. The message said that
~, "a e,,c%co4 bod boa,, cao,, IL, the
vicinity of Harrisburg bridge about
half past one o'clock the day of
the murder, and it was supposed
that he was making his way north
ward. Siace that time nothing
further has been heard of him.
Benton Tracy was born in Noble
county, Ohio, and was So years of
age at the time of his death. In
1852, his parents moved to Mont
gomery county, Missouri, where
they lived for five years. In 1857,
the family moved to Guthrie county
Iowa, and in 1864 crossed the
plains to Oregon.
At the age of 20, MrTracy went
to Albany to learn the blacksmith's
trade. Later, with partner he
owned and conducted a shop in
Corvallis.
In January 1878, he married Miss
Ella Abbey of Corvallis, who sur
vived the union but few months.
About four years after her death he
went into business at Yaquina Bay,
where with the exception of few
years spent in various places in the
Willamette Valley, he has since re-
sided. September 2S, 1892, he
married Miss Hattie B. Hargrave,
of Ashland, who, with three broth
ers and one sister survives him.

Bids are to be opened Monday
in the county court for Mary's
river bridge. At the last term of
the county court proposals for the
structure were considered. but all
the bidders were too high in their
figures. It seems that the speci-
fcations we're indefinite with ref
erence to the use of the iron in the
present structure, and on this ac-
count the bidders placed their fig
ures considerably higher to cover
possible deficiencies. In consequ-
ence the bids were all rejected, and
new proposals were asked for. They
are to be opened Monday.
The present plan of the court is
to invite bids for simple renewal
of the old structure as was the pro-
position in the last bids called for.
Also to receive bids for a complete
Howe Truss structure. Judge
Woodward is of the opinion that
the expense of the Howe Truss will
be larger than the county could
stand.

Rabelais compiled a curious list OF
inks of a sympathetic nature, which
were largely in vogue in his days. In
his book entitled "Pantagruel' he
makes his readers acquainted with
Panurgue's exploits in trying to de-
cipher the invisible characters of let
ter which Partisan female had
written to Pantagruel "He held it up
before fire." says Rabelais, ito see
II it was written with spirits of am
monia mixed with water. Then he
placed it in water to discover If the
writing had not been done with sirup
OF tithymal. When this would not
work, he held 1t over candle, which
would have brought out the characters
had they been written with the juice
of white onions. BY rubbing part OF
it with nut oil he tried to find whether
1t had not been written with the sap
Of fig tree. And If frogs blood had
been used in the place Of ink the milk
from the breast of woman sucking
her firstborn daughter would have be-
trayed the secrets of that letter."
