miners were instantly crushed to death
at the Conyngham mine OF the Della
ware and Hudson company, located in
the northern part of this city. The
men were being lowered into the mine,
and when $50 feet from the surface the
rope broke and the cage fell to the
bottom OF the shaft, a distance OF 400
feet. A rescuing party was at once
organized and they found the bodies
OF the men in the stump at the bottom
OF the shaft, beneath mass OF debris.
They were terribly mangled. Most OF
the victims lived in the vicinity OF the
mine. and when the rescuers brought
the crushed forms to the surface a
large crowd was in waiting. The grief
of the relatives OF the dead was heart
rending.
Superintendent FOote says he Is at
a loss to account for the accident. An
examination Of the rope was made be-
fore the first cage OF human freight
was lowered into the mine, and 1t was
found to be all right.
William Cunningham. who is said 20
be one of the most reliable men in the
employ OF the company. was the engi-
neer in charge of the hoIsting carriage.
He SAYS everything went well until tho
fatal trip. He got the signal to lower
and stop at the Hillman vein, which
is $50 feet from the surface. When
the Hillman vein was reached he slowed
I'D. without any warning the rope
snapped and the carriage containing
the 10 men dropped like a shot to the
bottom. The carriage had all the safe
ty appliances, and its speed should
have been checked before 1t reached
the bottom, but as far as can be learned
the catcher" did not work. Eight Of
the dead were Poles and two others
English-speaking miners.
The English-speaking miners killed
were Charles ROchel and Frank Bar
ney. Both were married and leave
families. The other victims were Au-
gust Zayarcy, John Joyetski, Henry
McGraw, Anthony Ziblick, Lawrence
Warwick, Jonas Matondiek, Michael
Zayntis and John Chase.
All the foreignerds except one were
married and leave large families.
The coroner has begun an inyestiga-
ton as to the cause of the accident.
This is the third accident OF sim
liar nature that has occurred In tho
Wyoming region within six months.
In each case the rope attached to the
carriage broke and the men on 1t were
dashed to the bottom of the shaft and
instantly killed. The first disaster oc-

SUCCESS OF VAUDEVILLE
EXPLAINED BY MANAGER
Martin Beck Says Variety Stage Lives
on Desire for Novelty on
Part of People

1.-THE popularity of modern vaudeville
is founded on a psychological fact
which is fundamental in human nature
everywhere-the desire for novelty and
variety-and therefore, so long as we
can continue to satisfy this demand,
just so long will our popularity con-
tinue."
This is the statement made by Mar
tin Beck, general manager of the Or
pheum Circuit company, who is now
in Los Angeles. Mr.. Beck has been
identified with vaudeville ever since it
first began to be a real competitive
factor in the theatrical world.
Comparatively few people realize, I"
he continued, "the extent of the re-
sources of vaudeville attractions,
There is no conceivable feature of the
world of amusements which we cannot
secure if we want it, and we can go
outside of the field of amusements, too,
and draw from science and the me-
chanical arts new attractions which
are not available for other branches
of theatrical exploitation.
I'm the first place there is the So
called legitimate side of the profess
sion. We have demonstrated time and
again that there are very few indeed
of the successful actors and actresses
whom We cannot reach and secure If
we want them.
1.-The most successful stars have been
attracted by the inducements of vau-
deville. Comic opera stars without
number have been secured by vaude-
Vile managers, among others being
Jessie Bartlett Davis, Marguerite
sylvia, Della Fox, Helen Bertram and
score OF others.
1.-The source does not make any diff
ference. Let man be success and
we have got our eyes on him. We go
into society and bring out Miss Mabel
Mckinley niece of the late president,
and a remarkably clever composer and
singer. We go into the workshop of
the scientist and secure liquid air

tions are, but backed by the name of
man whose name is well known in
scientific circles. We maintain agents
in Europe and find out what is new
there and bring it over.
mot only are we ourselves on the
better, but the high salaries for which
vaudeville is noted constitute golden
prize for the person who can evolve
something new for himself. There are
many hundreds of busy brains of
which we have no knowledge working
for us all the time.
"If constant vigilance is the price
of peace, it is also the price of success
in the theatrical business. Let your
grip loosen for a moment and the other
you, and a moment is long while
sometimes
80 much from our standpoint. Then
there is the other side-the side
variety all the time. A man
goes to witness performance of
drama. If he does not like the first
act he will probably not like the show,
and he has to sit Through an entire
distasteful performance or get up and
go out. But at vaudeville show, if
he does not like the first act, he is as
sured that the next will be entirely
different. 1t is a cinch that there will
be something on the program that will
appeal to him.
"These are some of the things that
account for the popularity and ever
lasting success of modern vaudeville" "

breaches SERMON IN
COURT TO PROVE SANITY
Ministers of Many Beliefs Take Sides
for or Against Charles
Sansam


The subject of religion was aired yes
terday before Judge Wilbur and the
lunacy commission in the superior
court, in connection with the trial of
Charles Sansam, who was charged
with being an insane person.
The charge against Sansam, which
went directly to his mental faculties,
was made by those who did not ap-
prove of Sansam's religion and the ex-
position of his views.
Preachers of all sorts, shapes and
even colors appeared before the court
yesterday determined to fight for and
against the religion which appears to
be Sansam's regular stock in trade.
2 A preacher wearing a costume of gold
and blue and who is a well known
character on the streets of Los Angeles
appeared before the court, but owing to
his peculiar beliefs, whereby it was
impossible for him to either swear to
or affirm his testimony, he was not
allowed to testify.
Sansam volunteered to preach SER
mon to the court.
Judge Wilbur listened attentively to
the impromptu speech of the preacher,
at the conclusion of which he pro-
nounced him sane.

SAYS HUSBAND TOOK
HER MONEY, THEN LEFT
Mrs. Clara Hawkins Granted Divorce
Because Spouse Failed to
Support Her

To have her pockets picked by her
husband, according to the tale unfolded
to the court by Mrs. Clara Hawkins,
was beyond all human endurance and
yesterday she asked Judge Trask in
the superior court for a divorce from
Frank Hawkins.
September is, 1902, Mrs. Hawkins tes-
tilted her husband forced her to give
up the sum of $35. At that time Haw-
kins repented and intimated that it was
only loan, and then he disappeared
In February of the following year
Hawkins reappeared and this time,
Mrs. Hawkins says, her spouse alb
sconded with the sum of $11.
Judge Trask intmated that Hawkins
was sage in his line, but in order to
suppress the graft" the interlocutory
decree was granted.

dition. 1t is said that he shouted and
screamed and threatened to shoot
Mayor McAleer on sight.
Officers present thought their former
comrade drunk and wrestled with him
in an attempt to put him in Jail. This
action was Indignantly resented by the
former officer and a fight ensued in
which Mikleauschutz's artificial right
arm was broken.
Yesterday morning he was bailed ou'
by his friends and fingered around
the police station. After staying in the
hall of the station for some time, Mike
auschutz developed symptoms of in
sanity and was taken to the receiving
hospital in condition of nervous col

"soME DAY" NEVER CAME
Promise of Support Did Not satisf,
Wife

A promise to support her in the dis
tant future failed to appeal to Mrs.
Louise De Mers. The matrimonial
alliance was entered into in 1886 in Los
Angeles. but according to the plaintiff
story De Mers has failed to provide her
with the common necessities of life dur
ing the whole Of the married career.
De Mers insisted that he would pro-
vide for her 'someday" she says, but
according to Mrs De Mers' story
"someday" never came, and yesterday
Judge York granted the divorce.
