Deadly Explosion In Berwind-Whit'
Shaft Near Dubois, Pa.

Dubois. Pa. April 29.-The mine dis
L-ter that occurred at Elanora shaft
is the worst that has taken place in
this region since 1896, when 1S men
were killed in the Berwind-White shaft
near this city. Yesterday - were
killed and one had both legs and both
arms broken.
superintendent Fleming was notified,
and organized a small rescuing party.
It was slow work because the brattice
work had been blown down and had

first victim found was Henry Mahoney,
motorman. He was unconscious and
was taken to the hospital Several
hours later the body of John Hopkins,
the trapper boy, was found Others
were brought to the surface frequently
until all were recovered. An exam
ination of the bodies as they were laid
on the floor of the little building near
the shaft indicated that death had come
instantly. Those that had the black
dust washed from their bodies showed
evidences of having been burned, scar
let spots showing all over their bodies.
Their clothing tears as though it were
made Of paper. There could not have
been mucn flame, however, as the hair
of the victims was not scorched.
Until the official investigation has
been made it cannot be said what
caused the explosion. The mining off,
cials are emphatic in their assertions
that it was not caused by gas. 1t 10
claimed that this shaft was exception
ally free from gas, although there was
some present. Thirty-two men were
working in the mine when the explo-
sion let loose. Those who were unin-
lured had no difficulty in reaching the

Taft May Recall Him to Explain
Charges Against Loomls.

charges against LOOMS.
Washington. April 20. - Secretary
Taft is considering he advisability of
ordering Minister Bowen, at Caracas,
10 report forthwith in Washington to
explain the charges against Assistant
Secretary Loomis which he has con-
veyed to Secretary Taft in a personal
letter If President Roosevelt assents,
this order will be issued Immediately.
Mr.. Loomis again denied. as he had
done before to the president, the truth
Of Mr., Bowen's charges.
This proceeding is TO determine pre-
cisely the extent of Mr. Bowens re-
sponsibility for the circulation of these
charges. The official mind here is made
up so far as Mr.. Loomis is concerned; f;
II is absolutely convinced of his inno-
csnce of any wrongdoing while he was
minister 10 Venezuela, and has reached
this conviction after a thorough sitting
of the allegations That being the case,
It is felt here that Minister Bowen. in
order to escape blame himself, must
show that ne did one of two things,
either by private inquiry in Caracas
he arrived at another conclusion as to
the truthfulness of the charges or that
he did what he could to denounce them
and to discourage their circulation in
Venezuela.

could do nothing with him
He put on his things and went over to the
Jail.
He sat down on the floor Of the cell and put
his arm around the boy. Then. when he had
explained to him that he liked him. loved him.

1t appealed to the boy. He looked at the judge
earnestly.
'Tn stay wild yer. Judge" he said. "and We

Months afterward the mother Of the child

She had asked him what made him behave so
well and why he had all at once given up his

The work Of the Juvenile Court is constantly

theory is that as horses. in a state Of nature
are grazing animals, they do not require regular
food, but are quite well off when they get
their meals by fits and starts. or at any time OF
day or night The horses that underwent this
regime during the maneuvres were in excellent
condition at the end of the operations
The American idea of using cavalry almost
exclusively as mounted infantry rather than as
an Independent arm fighting on horseback is
not yet accepted in Europe where the large
fenceless plains well adapted TO
nanpuvring large masses of hOrsemen. 1t was
seldom in the manpuvres-and this was
particularly noticed by General Chaffee-that
the French cavalry dismOunted to fight, as is
almost invariably the case in America. A
feature that detracts from the reality of the
French man9uvre5 is the Old-fashioned black
powder blank cartridges used by the batteries
of horse and of field artillery, which disclosed
their positions, which would have been con-
cealed had the service cartridges of smokeless
powder been used.
Another criticism elected by the operations was
that the infantry in advancing to attack was
not sufficiently scattered although at the present
time the section instead of the company has be-
come the fighting unit. The men were too close
together and often presented targets that would
have been fatal in a real engagement However

up for playing truant from school. For a long
time the court Iabored with no results. Finally
after repeated talks, the judge discovered that
those eight boys hated their teachers. He did
not know why. He did not even know whose
fault it was He could do nothing while the in
harmony prevailed. So he had the boys
changed around until they were all under diff
fercnt teachers and there was further
trouble,
There are comparatively few girls who come
under the direction of the Juvenile Court There
is only one girl to every ten boys. But though
Judge LINDSEY is a boys hero, his power is al
most as great over girls Late one afternoon
this summer when the court adjourned. Judge
Lindsey found two families awaiting in his
chambers.
That there had been trouble was evident from
the general appearance Of his visitors and from
their attitude toward each other. The cause Of
the netghborhood was little girl who was
weeping bitterly and a little boy standing in
suky silence, One of the parents explained to
the judge that the little boy had kicked and
hurt the girl and the boys parents replied
promptly that it was no such thing" and that
Tommy did not touch Maud The judge talked
TO them one at a time Finally he announced
that the little girl had not been telling the truth
He did not know how he knew. he said, but he
always knew when children told him untruths-
Then the child confessed that she had fallen
and hurt herself and blamed the boy because
she was mad at him The judge made the boy
confess that he had sometimes departed from
the truth. Then they all made up and went
away good friends
Before the day of the Detention House the
judge called out one stormy night. and told
