Italians leaving Italy for other coun'

of non-productive age.

MINERS IN SEES SION
Second Attempt Being Made to Ar
rance WAGE Schedule.


indianapolis, Feb 29.-The mine
workers began another convention in
Tomlirson hall this morning for the
purpose of framing a wage scale to
present to the operators. The attend
ance is not quite SO large as at the
recent convention. This one, however.
is fraught with great Importance. I'm
less there is an agreement with the
operators all of the mines will be
closed down the LIST of April. There
may be a general strike. 1t has been
limited that the operators would well
come a shut down of few weeks as
it would give them an opportunity to
clean their stock and get in good shape
for the next seasons business. There
is a likelihood though that a disagree
nient now would disrupt the inter
state agreement which the operators
as well as the miners have worked so
hard to perfect. Each side will have
to make some concessions before there
is an agreement. President Mitchell
is presiding over the deliberations of
the mine workers and in view of his
previous success at inducing harmony,
hope is expressed that there will be
no great labor trouble in the coal
fields this year.

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST
One of the Most Narrowing Exper-

Pacific Coast.
The Steamer Queen Caught Fire and
OF Those Who Took to Boats
Fourteen Drowned.

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. %
After suffering the most narrowing ex
perience from fire and storm that has
ever befallen a craft on the north Pa
cific coast, the steamer Queen Sunday
put in here to report the loss of four
teen lives.
The list of dead follows: First-class
passengers-Miss Steiner, Clallum

from exposure. Second-class passen-
gers-D. Newbury, Texas, H. Ruckley,
both drowned. Members of the crew

mond Engineering department-Pe-
ter Mullin and M. Flynn.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, while off the mouth of the Column
bia river, the Queen caught fire in
her after saloon in some unexplained
way With indescribable swiftness the
fire gained Roadway and threatened
soon to envelop the whole ship. To
add to the horror the heavy seas run
ming meant death to any sent away in
the lifeboats. The flames became
more and more threatening until, when
it seemed a choice of deaths, Captain
Cousins ordered the lifeboats launch
ed. They were manned by the crew
and ordered to remain close to the
ship. In these the women and chill
dren we're placed. Hardly, however,
had the boats been cast loose than,
unable to weather the fierce waves,
two of them were caDSiZed
The passengers and those of the
crew who remained on board contin-
ued their fight against the flames with
increasing success until, at 7:40 a. M,
the fire was brought under control
When some thought the danger from
fire was past Captain Cousins recalled
the lifeboats and the occupants were
taken aboard.
The Queen was headed for the
mouth of the Columbia river and about
o'clock the steamer Santa Monica
was sighted. The Queen signalled and
asked to stand by until temporary re
pairs could be made. When every
thing had been made safe the Queen
continued on to the mouth of the Col
umbia, only to find the bar was too
rough to cross in The distressed
craft was pointed toward Puget sound.
but bad fortune still pursued and when
she rounded Cape FIattery she encoun-
tered a terrific electrical storm. With
difficulty she weathered the gale and
arrived here without further mishap
and proceeded to Seattle, where she
arrived about nightfall.
Practically the entire aft of the ship
is in ruins. The intense heat Of the
flames bent and twisted the interior
iron work into a shapeless mass and
sailors viewing the ruins state that
they do not understand how it was
possible to get control of the flames.
Were it not for the fact that the cap
tain, crew and passengers behaved
with the utmost GOODNESS, the vessel
undoubtedly would have been destroy
ed and the loss of life enormous. The
vessel carried more than 200 passen-
gers.

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 29.-Thir-
teen arrests have been made of men
who made a bluff" at lynching Jerry
Duggins, the triple murderer. They
cannot understand their predicament
and when Sheriff Fasig told them he
would do all in his power to send them
to prison, for the first time they fully
realized the changed conditions since
the last lynehing in Terre Haute. With
one or two exceptions the arrested
men are police characters, several are
ex-convicts and some Of them had been
in Jail frequently for misdemeanors.
They knew at the time of the Ward
lynching that the bluff" won, the
lynching was carried out and the
lynchers, although as well known as
they are now in the Duggins case,
were not molested. They are held on
information and the grand jury is in
vestigating each case to the end that
indictments may be returned for felon-
les for which prison sentences can be
inflicted The thirteen men comprise
