aborigines, say they, is in our man
ner of speech.
While the opinion of the students
of race transformation on this sub
ject may be trifle exaggerated,
there is no doubt that tendency
toward abbreviation is apparent in
modern speaking and writing
With some, abbreviated speech
amounts to almost a craze. The man
afflicted with it maintains that it
saves time-a valuable asset in this
Dusy age.
He writes letters in abbreviated
characters and takes more time to
explain the value of brevity than he
saves in false economy. In answer
to your question concerning his
health he says 20 K" He means, of
course, that he is in excellent health;
but time is money and he saves both
with 20. K" If he greets you with
"Howdy" he is effusive, as his gen
eral form of salutation is a nod,
which is capable of multitude of
interpretations.
If according to the opinion shared
by many students of sociology this
brevity is in the atmosphere. the man
of abbreviations fifty years from now
will provide himself with piece of
Montana sage brush, and with few
masterful signs convey his thoughts
and wishes in silent eloquence. That,
too, would have its advantages. Po-
litical speeches would be equally ef-
fective, if less noisy, debates in wo-
mems clubs would require considera-
BILE sage brush but they would ac-
complish as much good as the wordy
discussions of today and would be
much more capable of illustration in
the daily newspapers.
The sage brush language may be
blessing in disguise after all.-Inter

The Interstate Commerce Commission
Takes Decided Stand.
FURTHER EvAsIoNs DON'T GO
Chairman Prouty Will Begin an In
Vestigation of the Violations of the
Law and Will Use Stringent Meas
ures if Necessary-Wants Tariff
Rates Published.

Chicago, March 31.-It is the pur-
pose of the interstate commerce COM
mission to employ every means with
in it's power to secure absolute OBJ
servance of the provisions of the in
terstate commerce act. The commits
sion is negotiating to commence in
junction suits with the same end in
view
This announcement was made to-
night by Commissioner Charles A.
Prouty preliminary to an investiga-
tion which will be conducted here,
beginning tomorrow. Asked what the
commission expected to discover and
what would likely be the outcome,
provided evidence of late infractions
of the law developed. Mr.. Prouty
said:
I'VE must first ascertain what has
been done and determine what action
is advisable under the circumstances,
as they may develop. The fact that
the department OF justice is proceed
ing by another means would not pre-
vent our taking the initiative in in
stituting certain proceedings should
the facts disclosed by the evidence
warrant such action"
Commissioner Prouty SAID another
purpose of the hearing was to take
steps to compel the railroads to pub
lsh their export rates. This is rad
ical departure. although some of the
roads in times past filed export rates
on grain and grain products. In gen.
eral, however, the railroad officials
and attorneys claim that the law can
not compel them to publish export
tariffs and a fight VIII b@ made on

TERRIBLE MINE
EXPLOSION
Twenty Workmen Meet Death at
Dayton, Tennessee.
GAS ACCIDENTALLY IeNITED
CareIessness of the Men in Charge
of the Blasts Caused the Accident.
Three Men Standing Outside Were

Photo by Bradley, New York.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 31.-At
4:45 o'clock this afternoon an explo-
sion of gas in the Nelson mine of the
Dayton Coal G Iron company at Day
ton, Tenn, ignited the dry coal dust
in the mine and caused a terrific ex-
plosion. Twenty-Five men are known
to be dead Ten bodies have been re-
covered. Twelve bodies are still in
the mine.
Gas exists in the Nelson and the
men are required to use safety lamps
1t is the rule of the company for
the safety of the miners, to place
their fuses ready to be lighted for
blasts just before quitting work each
as ''fire men" who go through the
mine after the miners are out and set
off these blasts.
The miners quit work at 4:50 this
afternoon. 1t takes them As minutes
to get out of the mine. The two
fire men" today, who are supposed
to have caused the explosion, were
Dick Hunter and John Harvey They
shot the blasts about 4:45 o'clock,
before all the miners could get out
of the mine. 1t is supposed that one
of the fuses was defective and re-
suited in what IS known as blown
blast. The flame shooting out from
tthe blast ignited the gas. which in
turn ignited the accumulation of dry
coal dust in the mine. The explosion
that followed was terrific. The
flames shot out of the mouth of the
mine and the shock completely
wrecked the shed at the mine en-
trance. Three men were killed while
standing outside the mine and two
were seriously and one fatally in
jured.
This mine has been the scene of
two serious explosions in the past
In 1889, four men were killed and
eight seriously injured by the explo
sion of gas.
December 20. 1895. an explosion OF
dust occurred in which % lives were
lost. This was caused by a miner
carrying an open lamp, contrary to
regulations.
The force of the explosion in the
Nelson mine today was terrific. The
bodies were torn to pieces.

Strike Of the Hosting Engineers at the Mine:
Of Butte
FAMOUS ANACONDA MINE CLOSED
The Men Demanded Increase Wages and When Refused
Quit Work-Their Action Not Endorsed by Union
and Will Probably Result in Failure.

Butte, April IA walkout of the
hosting engineers at the mines of
the Anaconda, Parrot and Washoe
companies at Butte resulted in the
closing down of those mines at 6
o'clock, this evening, About 5000
miners and topmen employed by
these companies are thrown out of
employment. Should the shut down
be prolonged, several thousand more
men will be thrown out of employ
ment at the smelters at Anaconda.
There will, however, be no effect on
Anaconda for some two days yet.
The occasion of the walkout is a de-
mand for increased wages by the
hoisting engineers, which is denied
by the companies. The engineers
have been receiving 81 per day for
eight hours work. They have de-

manded SIS per day for the same num-
ber of hours. The men had given
the companies until April to COM
ply with the demands, but on receiv-
ing word from the companies that
the demand would not be complied
with, the men walked out at once.
The walkout was not authorized by
the Butte Stationary Engineers union
and, therefore, is not strike. The
action of the men was independent
action on their part, the union having
declined to make the demand for in
creased wages. Inasmuch as the walk
out is not authorized by the union
and there are many stationary engi-
neers in the city out of employment,
it is expected that the places Of the
hoisting engineers will soon be filled
and work resumed.

Butte Miner Crushed Beneath Tons

Butte, April lin a disastrous min

rible death at the Anaconda mine
about 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon. He was buried alive under
hundreds of tons of earth and rock,
and when his lifeless body is recov-
cred, it is probable that it will be
an unrecognizable mass of crushed
flesh and bones. Men are working
necessarily in the mine in an effort
to recover the body but it is not ex-
pected that their efforts will be re-
warded for several hours, Ryan was
unmarried and liveu with his parents.

TO AID RATHBONE.
Senator Hanna Will Help His Con-
Victed Friend.

VICISQ
Washington, March 31.-The Post
tomorrow will say that Senator Han
ma proposes to introduce bill which
will provide for the trial of Estes
G. Rathbone, recently convicted in
Cuba of frauds in connection, with
the Cuban postal service, before a
court in the United States under
American law and American meth
DDS. The senator says, the Post will
say, he believes in Rathbone's hon
esty, Notwithstanding his conviction,
and claims that under our laws evil
dence not admissible under Cuban
procedure will aid Rathbone.
Speaking of the call of Senator
Hanna on the president and the for
mers request for pardon of Rath-
bone, the Post will say:
1T is quite likely, of course, that
some consideration will be shown to
Reeves, who turned states evidence,
and action in his case may be ex-
pected soon after General Woods re-
turn to Cuba. The attitude of the
administration toward Rathbone and
.Neeley will. however, be firm.
General Woods has the power of
pardon, if he should chose to exer-
else it, but this is not regarded as
probable.
"It is said to be extremely doubt
full whether the president has the
right to set aside Judgment of the
Cuban court, for Cuba is a foreign
country, although now under the pro-
lection of the United States. For the
same reason it makes it extremely
improbable that congress would enact
a law transferring the accused off.
