The men went into the shaft at mid
night. Foreman William Ray Of the
shift that left the mine at that hour
states that the mine was in good con-
oition and a gas explosion was hardly
probable. His shift left a shot hanging
which the new shift may have fired.
Ii Is suggested from the force OF the
explosion. which could be heard foI
miles around and which tore heavy
timbers aside and piled tons Of dirt
into the shaft. that a bad shot had SCI
off some dynamite which mao Deen

The shaft is $50 feet deep and II was

working The men were supplied wlt1
air famed from the shaft and by
means of compressed air tubes. 1t is
the general opinion that the air pipe
vas broken by the explosion, but all

CONSUL STIRS
GERMAN WRATH
Rigid Examination of the
Textile Exporters May End
in a Complaint to America
TALK OF NEW TREATY
Austria to Follow Lead of
Kaiser and Put Uncle Sam
Outside of Tariff Wall

BERLIN, April S0.-The Saxon In
dustry, the organ of the Saxon manu-
facturers, says the American Consul at
Glauchau requires of exporting textile
manufacturers not only precise details
of the constituents of goods, the num-
Der of yards, etc. but also exact figures
regarding the amount of capital invest
ed, dividends paid, weavers' wages,
mortgages on the works and a variety
of other particulars of the business side
of the weaving industry.
The Cologne Gazette, commenting on
what German exporters have to suffer
at the hands of the American customs
authorities, says this case (referring to
the requirements of the Consul at
Glauehau) will be made the subject of
a direct complaint on the part of
Chancellor Won Bulow.
The newspapers during the last few
days have published many editorials
on the necessity for new tariff arrange
ments with the United States and COM
ments upon customs methods.
GLAUCHAU, Saxony, April 30.--Ed-
ward Creevy, the American Consul
here, in an interview concerning the
complaints of exporters that he was
unreasonable In asking for informa-
ton about the financial status of their
ldClOIIeS, SdlO.
1 shall continue to require calculations in
accordance with departmental instructions and
consular regulations No honest man need fear
the light of investigation. Experience has
proved that the exporter receiving the most
consideration Is the first to complain when
called to account for Irregularities There Is
nothing more to say, even should write
book.
VIENNA. April 30.-Germany's ex-
clusion of the United States from
benefiting by the treaties recently con-
cluded by Germany with several
European states is being watched
here with deepest interest, because
the position of Austria Hungary,
after the completion Of the pending
commercial treaties with Italy, Russia,
Switzerland and the Balkans. will be
identical with the conditions confront
ing Germany.
Austria : Hungary will follow Ger
many's example when these treaties
are concluded and internal affairs are
settled Meanwhile she Is watching
Germany's effort to effect a recipro-
city treaty with the United States with
keen interest, as Germany's success
or failure will probably determine
Austria -Hungary's course of action.

TRAGEDY THE RESULT
OF TOO MUCH LIQUOR
Suicide and His Intended
Victim Firm Friends Until
Formers Incarceration
for Absence Without Leave

SALT LAKE, Utah, April 3O.-Cap-
tain William A. Raibourn, Twenty
ninth Infantry, U. S. A.. committed
suicide at Fort Douglas early to-day
after making murderous assault on
Lieutenant William H. Point, also of
the Twenty-ninth Infantry. Point was
shot twice by his surerior officer, one
bullet penetrating his left thigh and
another inflicting a deem flesh wound
in the right leg. After Lieutenant
Point had fallen. Captain Raibourn
turned his revolver upon himself,
sending a bullet into his head about
three inches behind his right ear.
Captain Raibourn had been drink
ing heavily and the tragedy was an
outgrowth of his arrest on Wednes-
day last on a charge Of drunkenness.
Captain Raibourn was appointed
officer of the day at Fort Douglas
for Tuesday. but failed to report for
duty and was absent in the city
twenty-four hours without leave. He
was arrested the following day, but
was given the privileges of the fort,
under orders not to leave the grounds.
ARRESTED BY LIEUTENANT.
On Saturday evening Captain Raj
bourn broke the parole and came to
the city. Lieutenant Point, who was
sent after him with an ambulance,
found him in a Main-street saloon and
he was returned to Fort Douglas
under arrest. He was ordered to re-
main in his quarters.
Lieutenant Points quarters are but
Raibourn occupied. The lieutenant
had just stepped out of doors. early
to-day, when Captain RaibOurn ap-
peared, carrying a heavy thirty-eight
threatening and Point said:
Now, captain, don't do anything
foolish"
Raibourn made no reply, but i'm
mediately began shooting.
When other officers and soldiers
ran out, after hearing the shots, Raj
bourn lay dead and Lieutenant Point
lay wounded in front of his quarters.
Lieutenant Point was taken to his
quarters. He is said to be resting
we'll.
Raibourns body was embalnied at
the post hospital and tomorrow it will
be shipped to Oakland City, Ind,
where his mother and two sisters re-
side. He has brother in Chicago.
WORRIED OVER DISGRACE.
Captain Raibourn had sought to
avoid a court martial and had for
worded to Washington his resignation
from the army. 1t had not been ac-
cepted and it was supposed that a
trial by court martial awaited him.
Worry over the probability of dis
honorable discharge from the army
and dissipation are believed to have
unbalanced his mind.
Captain Raibourn, who was 35
years old and unmarried, enlisted in
the army in 1891 as private and
worked his way up from the ranks.
He and Lieutenant Point had served
together in the Philippines and were
firm friends.
Lieutenant Point entered the army
as captain of the Fifty-first Iowa
Volunteers and later was appointed to
the regular service. He has passed
the examination and qualified for
promotion to captaincy.
Captain Raibourn was formerly re-
garded as an efficient officer. but re-
Gently he had been drinking hard
and could not be relied upon for duty.
