FOUR HUNDRED MEET DEATH
COLLAPSE OF NEW WATER RES
ERvoIR At MADRID, SPAIN.
People Are Mortified and Indignant
Over Accident, Claiming II Could
Have Been Prevented.

-Four hundred persons were killed or
injured Saturday by the collapse Of a
new water reservoir in course Of con-
struction in Madrid, Spain.
The catastrophe caused a profound
sensation throughout the city. All
work was suspended and the people
focked to the scene.
AS the day passed the Indignation
and excitement increased and serious
disorders are feared. as it is charged
by many that the disaster had long
been foreseen by the authorities in
charge Of the work, and that this terri
Bile disaster could have beer pre-
vented.
A workman who was injured says
the collapse was so sudden and COM
plete that it was impossible to tell
what happened The men at work on
the reservoir, however, anticipated
trouble, as fortnight ago three
arches collapsed and cracks devel-
oped in four others. The public hold

A COLD FLOODED MURDER.
Man Shot in the Back of the Head as
He Was Reading a Paper.

The assassination of John H. Fox
by Deputy Sheriff Joseph Johnson and
an attempt at lynching, frustrated by
Sheriff Dick Davis and posse, and later
a race between the sheriff and posse
with the prisoner for a special train
and an angry and excited mob of 1000
people bent on vengeance. were the
wild scenes enacted in Trinidad, Colo.
Saturday morning. The assassination
OF Fox was the most cold blooded MUIR
der ever committed in Las Animas
county. Fox was standing at desk in
the lobby of the postoffice reading a
newspaper with his back 10 the door.
Johnson entered, six shooter in hand,
and without the least warning sneaked
up behind Fox and fred. The bullet
entered behind the left ear and came
out of the forehead. passing through a
glass door into the elevator lobby,
grazing the head of a man standing in
the elevator Fox fell backwards,
dead. and Johnson. coolly walking from
the postoffice, started toward the coun-
ty Jail, where he was arrested by an
other deputy. A mob of about 1000 Of
the citizens quickly formed, but the
sheriff got johnson onto a special train
and took him out of town

GRAFTERS IN MAJORITY.
Is the Charge Made Against the IIli-
nois Legislature.

Springfield, Ill. Feb. An up
heavel in the Illinois legislature, pos
sibly rivalling the recent boOdlng ex-
posures in the legislature of Missouri,
may be the outcome of an address
made by Representative Frank d.
Comerford of Chicago to the students
of the Illinois College of Law recently
The general assembly today appointed
Comerford's charges, which are re-
ported as specifically alleging "that
the Illinois legislature is a great pub
lie auction, where special privileges
are sold to the highest corporation
bidders, and that without respect to
be in the majority
For the first time in the history of
the legislature of Illinois in many years
many of the general assembly are
against Representative Comerford who
acknowledges that he carries q revol-
yer in his pocket to defend himself in
an emergency.
ed as a consequence of the Comerford
charges James Burdette, a reporter
for a Chicago paper, was knocked down
just outside the entrance of the Leland
hotel by alleged friends of one of the
accused members. He was roughly
handled. Members of the legislature
rescued him from the assailants who
escaped arrest.
ternoon Immediately went into execu-
tive session. Soon afterward Repre-
sentative ComerfOrd was technically
placed under arrest and summoned to
appear before the committee.
Mr.. ComerfOrd protested strongly
against executive session but the COM
mittee Notwithstanding voted to ex-
clude the press.
Mr. Comerford also demanded that he
be allowed a stenOgrapher at his own
expense.
Mr. Comerford spoke briefly. saying
he hoped the committee would be
thorough and impartial In the investi-
cation. The speaker called Comerford
to order, demanding that he confine
himself to the subject at hand
I ask consent of the house to speak
five minutes on this subject" shouted
Mr.. Comerford. Amid much confusion
a chorus of ''noes'' came from both
sides of the house. The committee re-
fused to allow Mr.. Comerford a stenog-
rapher and desired him to proceed at
once with what proof he had of his
charges. This he was not prepared to
do and insisted that he be allowed to
go to Chicago. get his copy of the
speech and prepare his proof.
The grand jury is in session here, "
said Mr.. ComerfOrd to the newspaper
men outside. If I can't get a fair
hearing before this committee viii
take the matter before that body"

ToIstof on the Situation
New York, Feb. IA dispatch from
Moscow to the American, says Count
Toistoi has made the following COM
ment on the recent outbreaks in Rus
sia, meagre reports of which have
reached the aged writer at his home in
the country:
Neither the working classes nor the
intelligent classes of Russians are true
exponents of the real desires and needs
of the people.
1.-THE programme which they submit
to the government is not the pro-
gramme of the people. These elemen-
tary' measures which they demand of
the gOVernment-such as freedom CT
person. freedom OF speech and freedom
of conscience, etc, though essential
conditions for a life of culture, do not
touch the problem of the crying need
of the people which lies solely in the
naturalization and communism of
land.
'.On this point neither the working
men nor the educated classes raise the
cry nor do we hear any such cry from
the peoples of other lands, despite the
apparent freedom of those countries. In
other countries there exists the socalied
independent press but its independence
is only apparent.
The only possibility of a change in
the general policy of civilization lies in
perfecting the individual morally and
religiousIy. Then through the develop
ment of the individual, through moral
Improvement, through incubation of
real respect for others, through hatred

FELL THROUGH DOME.
Small Boy Has Narrow Escape From
$50 Foot Fall.

A frightful tragedy was narrowly
averted at the state house Tuesday
afternoon.
Several boys, white and black, were
playing on the stairways near the
inner dome when a general banter
about jumping onto the tiling that
forms the covering of the inner dome
was started.
A negro boy about Is years old at
once leaped onto the dome. His
weight knocked out the tiling and his
body went through. His arms caught
on the steel ribs and thus he was
saved from fall of at least $50 feet
onto the marble f1oor of the corridor
in the basement
No one was hit by the flying plaster
and tiling and the boy is trying to
keep out of the way for fear of being
arrested.

Federal Grand Jury Finds Another
Bill Against Senator Mitchell.

Portland, Ore, Feb. AFTER many
days of silence the grand jury today

spired on February 1, 1902, to defraud

Senator Mitchell is specifically
charged with having at Washington,
D. c., on March 8, 1902. unlawfully

bona fide settler on a, portion of these
londs. It also charges that Senator
Mitchell prepared unlaWfully an affi-
davit for Puter to sign in which Puter

spiracy, Senator Mitchell introduced
