the policy enumerated by Booker Wash
ngton at the negro convention held here
a few months ago. large factory for the
manufacture CT all kinds of tobacco, and
to be constructed and operated exclusively
by negroes, is to be started here in the
near future, it is said. Moreover, it is to
be only one of a number of industrial en-
terprises, the directors of which, as well
az the operatives, throughout, are to be
negroes exclusively. 1t is the first gun, SO
to speak, of Washington's industrial CAM

go on the regular breaks, thing which
was attempted years ago, and was then
met with a decided snub. It remains to
be seen with what success it will now be
attended.

FATAL FLASH OF GAS
Four Men Killed and Two
Badly Burned by an
Explosion.
(By the Associated Press.)

Pittsburg, Pa, May 26.-Four men
were killed and two badly burned by an
explosion of gas in the mines of the Char
tiers Coal and Coke Company at Federal,
a mining town near Bridgewill, on the
Pittsburg, .Chartieres and Youghiogheny
railroad today The mine is but slightly
injured.
The dead
WILLIAM NELSON, aged AZ, married.;
mine boss, residing at Federal.
JAMES NELSON, nephew of William
Nelson, aged 30 years, single, roadman,
Feneral.
JACOB SAILOR, miner "a years age,
Federal.
JOSEPH sMUCK, miner IS years, Fed
cral.
The injured: Joseph G. OFT, Joseph
Puik.
Sixty men were at work in the mine at
the time of the explosion, but because of
the fact that the accident occurred in a
portion of the mine that had not been
used for several days, all escaped except
four
The explosion is supposed to have been
caused by gas brought about by blast
tunnel where a dip in the coal road
way was being removed. The tunnel had
not been used for several days and gas
had accumulated in such quantity that
when the blast was set off, the explo-
sion resulted All of the men directly
connected with the work were victims.
