strenuous in calling a session that
was unnecessary. If this is the Demo-
cratic idea of "a joke ana IL il is i'm
agined that the American people will
not properly place the blame their
asininity is somewhat startling.
However, something has been ac-
complished; an agreement has been
reached to bring the reciprocity meas

something has been gained. It will

sert that the explosion was caused by
an Internal machine. and 400 militia
men have been placed on guard around
the company's properties.
Superintendent Mccormack and
Miner Beck we're descending into the
mine in the cage. When the cage
reached the sixth lfvel the explosion
occurred, wrechng 1e cage and shaft
and instantly killing both men. The
explosion. which was terrific, was
heard at the surface, and at first was
believed to be an earthquake.
The bodies we're recovered only af
ter several hours work. being brought
to the surface through the second
compartment of the shaft.
officials of the company assert that
the internal machine, containing many
pounds of dynamite, had been placed
in the sixth level, which is part of the
abandoned workings of the mine,
within few inches of the shaft. Then
a loaded revolver was fixed in the
shaft with its muzzle pointing toward
the internal machine. To the trigger
OF the revolver was attached a string.
which was thrown across the shaft
in such a manner that the revolver
would explods, the bullet striking the
Internal machine.
The executive committee of the
Mine Owners and Operators Associa.
tion has offered a reward OF $500 for
evidence. leading to the arrest and
conviction Of the perpetrators. In a
published statement the committee
says:
THE killing Of superintendent Nc
Cormack and Melvin Beck was one Of
the most diabolical crimes that ever
darkened the annals of Colorado and
Is another step in the trail of blood
which has been made by the Western
Federation of Miners in this state
"The time has passed for selecting
fine terms in which to speak of these
matters. and we do not hesitate to say
that this crime was devised and exc.
cuted by the inner circle of this or.
ganization.
This statement is made only after
a careful investigation of the facts,
which show conclusively that these
men met their death through a scheme
so cunningly devised and carefully
planned as to tax the ingenuity of the
most experienced criminal.
"Of late the district has been filling
up With the class Of men whc openly
boast of what they propose to do. Not
a single circumstance surrounding
this crime is compatible with the
theory of accident. and with any other
theory than that OF premeditated
murder"
The district executive committee OF
the Western Federation of Miners
characterizes the explosion IS a ia
mentable accident regretted by all,
and adds:
But prejudiced individuals who
rarely know anything of what the!

THIRTY MEN MEET

shanty was SO feet long and "a feet

mostly Italians.
At the first cry OF fire most OF the
men escaped, but, remembering their
trunks, a great many rushed back for
them, and several perished. Those
who strove for the door were In the
widest sort Of panic. When one man
got ahead Of another the other pulled
him back. They fought, bit and KICK

there are many who bear marks OF
the fierce strife which took place IN
this battle for life. One eye witness
says he docs not believe that single

The Charges Against General Wood,

The Charges Against General Wood.
From the Washington Post.
We feel sure that no real friend of
General Leonard Wood is seeking to
avert a thorough examination OF the
charges which have been brought
against that officer. II there be no
truth in them, they win not bear the
test of honest and dispassionate in
quiry, and General Wood will thus Sc
cure a complete and definite exonera-
tion. The charges are of a nature
which no man at once honorable and
wise would be willing to ignore. for
their bare existence is enough to tar
nish the very brightest fame. No one
who has Leonard Woods good name
at heart will wish TO have these impu-
tations left TO flourish i'm the rank soil
OF conjecture. II he himself were on
the scene he would undoubtedly de-
mand the fullest Investigation.
A thorough inquiry doubtless will
show that the accusations are founded
in error. The fact may even be estab-
lished that they amount to nothing
more than the vengeful reprisals of an
enemy General Wood has made in the
conscientious discharge OF his public
duties. But eliminating Major Rath-
bone and his affairs altogether from
The controversy-set them aside as
dead issues and discredited as factors

main enough to call FOR an examina-
tion II will not do. in view of all the
circumstances. TO dismiss these accu-
sations either by declaring that they
are obviously false or by assuming
that they have been improperly in
spred. Neither OF these propositions
constitutes a valid answer. and neither
should be considered for a moment b.
any one who truly has at heart the fair
fame Of the accused officer.

Killing turtle with an arrow seems
a very difficult feat. since very hard
shell covers practically all of the ami
NAL. yet the natives Of the Andaman
islands kill huge turtles with arrows
as easily as American sportsmen kill
rabbits with shot.
Accustomed from their childhood to
use bows and arrows, they soon become
wonderfully skilled in the use Of these
primitive weapons. and as they know
the places where turtles congregate It
is easy for them at any time to bring
home a good bag Of game. Sometimes
they try their skill on large fish, and,
though the latter are harder to kill
than turtles. there are a few islanders
who rarely miss their mark.
The bows and arrows are made of
native wood and are longer and stron-
ger than those used by European arch
ere.
