MINE HORROR AT BURNETT.
Twelve Miners Lose Their Lives by al
Explosion.

BURNETT, Wash, Dec. 8.-There
was a terrific explosion, presumably of
gas ignited by fuse, at o'clock yes
1erday afternoon in the South Prairie
company's coal mines here. Sixteen
miners are believed to be dead. Twelve
bodies have been recovered, all badly
burned. The debris is so dense that
there is no hope for the four men still
in the mine. The mine machine shop

1t has been an open secret in Wal

The names of two stock exchange

knowledge in Havana last spring that
these firms had agents all through

MAY EMPTY ILLINOIS PRISONS.
Law Enforcing IdIeness of Convicts
Operates to Release Them.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-Habeas corpus
proceedings begun in the circuit court
may pave the way for a concerted ef-
fort to procure the freedom of the
prisoners in the penitentiaries at Jo-
liet and Chester. The enforced idle
ness of the prisoners since the new
convict labor law went into effect and
the delay of the state authorities in
carrying out the plan for giving them
employment on state work are respon-
slble for the action in the court
Whether the proceedings will ope-
rate to release any of the prisoners
remains to be determined, but in any
event, it is believed the action will
tend to relieve the conditions in the
penitentiaries which so keenly have
aroused public sentiment.
Two self-confessed murderers. Geo.
Cantos and Pietro Pettinato, through
their attorney w. G. Anderson, have
begun the contest for freedom. Judge
Windes issued writs of habeas corpus
for the men and will hear arguments
on the petition tomorrow morning. It
Will be the chief argument of Attorney
Anderson In support of the petition
that his clients are in danger of be-
coming insane from inactivity.
The men declare they have been
ready and willing to work since july
l. when the law prohibiting prison la
Dor became operative, but have been
forced to remain ile
The lawyer expressed the opinion
that every convict in the penitentiar-
les OF the state had good grounds for
a petition such as has been filed by
Cantos and Pettinato, as long as the
state compels them to lie idle in their
cells.

BOTH MISS THE CAR.
Two Seattle Men Bump Heads Trying
to Catch Street Car.

SEATTLE, Dec. S.-Two men saw a
street car trying to run by from Cher
ry street, yesterday afternoon, and
both became instantly seized with a
yearning desire to overhaul it. Urged
on by the inspiration, both made a run
for it, and their paths converged at
the rear platform of the car. Neither
had ever taken lessons from Alphonse
and CASTOR and neither waited for the
other. Their heads collided with a
crack that made the motorman stop
his car to see what had exploded.
Both men had to be picked up by the
bystanders, and nearly all the mud
within rod was picked up with them
Both missed the car.

light on the dealing of Mrs. Chadwick
with Banker Newton of Boston, who
loaned the Cleveland woman $190.500
and who has been claiming and still
claims that the debt will be paid. 1t

Rev. Charles A. Eaton, pastor Of Eu-
clid avenue Baptist church, of Cleve-
land, of which John Rockefeller is, the
leading member and that Banker New

which he says Mrs. Chadwick never
attended his church, but she appeared
unbidden and asked his advice regard

that he sent her to several legal nrms
with the suggestion that she place her
affairs in their hands. Since that time

IMMIGRATION DooMs lDEALIsM


NEW YORK, Dec. S.-After years
of observation in the crowded tene-
ments of New York and Chicago, Rob-
ert Hunter, the young sociologist, who
married Anson Phelps Stokes daugh-
ter, declares that continued immigra-
ton from southern Europe will make
the Amtrican skull, shorter and more
broad.
When it is remembered that more
than twenty million immigrants have
come to the United States since 1920,
and that our immigration-whic at
a year-has largely changed from
northern Europeans to southern and
garians, Croatians and Polish, Ruma-
nian and Russian Jew-this prophecy
regarding the shape of the future
Americans head is pregnant with sug-
gestions of coming changes in our ma
tional characteristics.

Among all of Uncle sam projects. there is no department which is. pro- portionately, as great source of in come as the patent office, and yet at the same time, no branch of the ~Ov- ernment owes it's origin to a more beTefcent purpose. In the earliest days of the colonies the now orOverb- iai Yankee proclivity for invention was rec ognized as possible important fac tor in the Improvement Of conditions in the New World, and when the col onists had secured the right to enact laws for their own government this question was one of the first tO b. considered.

TOO MUCH KAISER AT ST. LOUIS.

The artists belonging to the Berlin Secession society have concluded not to take part in the German art eE- hibit at the St. Louis exhibition. Their action, which seems to be final, is primarily protest against the selec- ton by the German government of jurors known to be hostile to the move ment among the younger artists. h. directly it is also a protest against the repeated arbitrary interference by the kaiser in Grt matters. This means that a number Of Gsrmany's foremost painters and sculptors will be UaTeO- resented a St. Louis, and that the en- tire space allotted to that country will be filled by the works of older mon who have kept their art within the narrow confines Of academical trad!- ton. This is the more deplorable be- cause of the contrast furnished 'y other countries. Not only will the 2rt of every civilized nation be represent ed. but the contending scho~ls,> the champions of the old and the new, seem to have hurried their differences temporarily in order to present united front 10 the rest of the world.-Coni7r's Weekly.
