August Yagusch, Charles Laschinsky
and two other miners are known to be
dead and a score or more of others are
entombed by fire and smoke in a 500

have gone into the mine, but have been
unable to do anything on account of the
dense smoke.
The fire broke out this afternoon in
the mule stable. Firemen were called
out and they took line of hose down
the shaft 500 feet but were unable. to
suppress the flames. mile away is

of the miners hastened. More than a
score were cut off by the flames and
held prisoners. They may be dead. Big
crowds surrounded the mouth of the
shaft, but the onlookers were helpless

WOULDSHED BURTON
Kansas Republican Legislator
Wants Him to Resign

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 16.-A resolu-
tion asking Senator Burton to resign
was introduced in the Kansas house
and senate today. Cyrus Leland, Lead
er of one Republican faction in Kansas
and member of the house, is author
ity for the resolution. Tomorrow an
effort will be made to table it on the
ground that the case of Senator Bur-
ton is yet before the courts and there
fore not a subject for legislative ac-
ton. The resolution recites that the
decision of the United States supreme
court today necessarily deprives Mr..
Burton of his usefulness in the senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The case
of Senator Burton was decided by the
United States supreme court today,
dismissing the writ of certiorari to the
circuit court of appeals for the eighth
circuit and reversing the verdict of the
district court for the eastern district
of Missouri on the ground that the
payments to Burton were made in
Washington. The district court was
therefore reversed and the case re-
manded for. a new trial. The opinion
was. by Justice Peckham.

ENDS LIFE
Undertaker Swallows Poison at
Windsor Hotel


Theodore Bunker, undertaken, doing
business on Washington street was
found dead in room in the Windsor
hotel at an early hour this morning,
having taken poison.
Bunker came to the hotel during
the afternoon, and after registering
was assigned to room 248. He was not
seen. alive after that, and when the
room door was opened he was found
as he had fallen from a chair, resting
on his head, elbows and knees.
Letters were left giving business
troubles as the reason for his rash
act. One of the letters, addressed to
Mrs. Bunker, was opened, and clearly
showed that the writer had determined
to end his life. The nature of the
means of causing death that he in
tended to use was not mentioned.
Apparently Bunker made every prep
aration for the end Securing a guam
tity of stationery from the hotel Of
fice,. he had spent his last hours care
fully writing letters to various per-
sons He wrote five in number, and
some of them are rather. bulky 1t is
supposed that this required some time,
consuming the hours well into the
night.
The fact that Bunker did not reach
his home early in the evening caused
the. members of his family to become
anxious as to his condition and where
abouts. John Bunker, "a son, began a
search. He found his father register
ed at the Windsor, and being unable
to receive an answer from knocks 60
cured a duplicate key to the room and
entered. He found his father ON the
floor cold in death.

AUSTIN, Minn., Jan. 16.-In the dis
trict court John N. Anderson was tried
for horse stealing. He is seventy four
years old. For many years he has had
mania for the bucket shops, and is
said to have stolen to get the means
to indulge in this mania. When first
arraigned in the justice court six
months ago he pleaded guilty. but
changed his mind several times and
finally entered a plea of not guilty.
After todays trial, with a verdict of
guilty, the defense asked for a light
sentence, in view of Anderson's ad-
vanced age, and the fact that he had
already spent six months in Jail; but
Anderson was sentenced to three years
in state prison.

- The state legislature may refuse to
accept the report of the statute re-
vision commission today.
Senator H. A. Morgan, of Albert Lea,
gave strong intimation last night
that he would oppose reference Of the
proposed code to the senate judiciary
committee, or report by the judiciary
committee of the code in the form of a
bill for passage in the senate.
The charge that the statute revision
commission has legislated instead of
revised is furnished as warrant for the
proposed objection to the reception Of
the report.
"The commission has gone far be-
yond its legitimate scope" said ,Sena-
tor Morgan. "It has made laws and
1t has repealed laws. 1t was appointed
to revise, but it has legislated and in
some instances legislated badly
