growing, as all languages do-that au-
thoritics should differ on many points;

that Lawson has always claimed Rog>

H1ARCONI VIII H1HRPY
4 DAUGHTER OF ERIN
lie Chooses Mss Beatrice O'Bueu
Wedding Set for
the Middle Of
Coming Month
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-One of Guglielmo
Marconis chief worries has been the
constant variety of girls to whom the
newspapers have engaged him to be
married. Excepting the German Crown
Prince and the King of Spain the
genius of wireless telegraphy has been
betrothed by rumor oftener than any
man living. Since the report that he
was to wed Miss Alice Roosevelt,
American girls have not appeared in
the Marconi list. Last week it was the
Princess Ruspoli of Turin. the report
arising doubtless from the fact that
Marconi was then making a flying trip
to Turin. This week it is Miss Beatrice
O'Brien. The popularity about the
O'Brien rumor is that it is true.
Marconi did not intend to have the
news published, and when it first came
out he smiled at it in his usual sphinx
like fashion and in consequence it was
taken for granted that the story was
without foundation. He admitted to-
day, however that the news is correct.
The date of the wedding has been set
for March Is.
All of the women with whom rumor,
from time to time, has coupled the
name of the wireless wizard have been
pretty girls. Miss Beatrice O'Brien is
described as beautiful woman. More
over she can boast a royal pedigree.
She is one of the eight sisters, all
good-looking, of the fifteenth Baron
lnchiQuin and can claim descent from
the famous Irish monarch, Brian Bo
roihome, who was King of the Emerald
Isle from 1902 to 1914, when he was
slain at the head of his army at the
battle of Clontarf. His grandson. Tur-
logh, King of Munster, had four sons,
whereof the third was the progenitor
of the Baronss Inchiquin. One of Tur-
lOgh'S descendants, Connor O'Bryan,
was King of Thormond in 1929. and it
was his brother Murrough who. after
usurping his kingship, surrendered to
Henry the Eighth and was then made
Earl Of Thormond for life and also
given the Inchiquin barony.
A century later the barony developed
into an earldon1,e the fifth holder, of
which saw il converted into a mar
quisate, that of Thormond, which
passed away, however, with the third
holder, while the other titles became
dormant 1t was Sir Lucius O'Brien,
fifth baronet Of an Irish creation of
1856, in whose favor the claim to the
Inchiquin barony was made good a lit
tie over forty years ago, and his son
was the father of Marconi's bride
elect.
She is possessed in a marked degree
Of the sprightliness, wit and vivacity
characteristic of the Irish tempera-
ment. There is a certain appropriate
ness in Marconi's choice of an Irish
lady for his wife, for his mother was
of that nationality, although as every
body knows, his father was Italian and
he was born in Italy.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 20.-By
an explosion in the Virginia mine,
about eighteen miles southwest of
Birmingham, at o'clock this after
noon, between 110 and 135 union min
ers were entombed, and it is believed
that the entire number suffered an
awful death. Scores of vigorous res
cuers are at work digging into the
mine to relieve their friends and COM
rades on the inside
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
gas, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free from
dust 1t is believed that. as the entire
quota has probably been killed, the de-
tails of the cause of the disaster will
never be known.
The camp is almost isolated from the
rest of the world, as there is no tele-
phone station at Virginia and the only
wire running to the place is dis
patcher's wire of the Birmingham Min
eral Railway, on which Virginia is lo-
Gated.
The class of miners employed was
the best in the district and all be-
longed TO the United Mine Workers of
America. Stree the strike has been
on in the Birmingham district many of
the most Industrious and thrifty min
ers of Pratt City and other important
mining points have retkoved to the
Virginia mines, SO that the mines were
being worked to their full capacity by
the most skilled miners in the COM
munity.
Relief trains with surgeons and
workmen were dispatched from both
Birmingham and Bessemer as soon as
the news of the disaster was received
They began the work of succor before
6 o'clock, but at midnight had not dug
half way through the mass of debris.
1t isI believed that it will be 10 o'clock
Tomorrow before the interior of the
stope is reached.
The stopes are well arranged, and
there has never been the least trouble
in the mines before. They are owned
by the Alabama Steel and Wire Com
pany, but are leased and operated by
Reid & Co.
President Edward Flynn of the Ala
bama United Mine Workers and Ma
tional Committeeman w. r. Fairly,
together with j. E. Allier district or
ganizer, have left for the scene Pres
ident Flynn said before leaving that
there were 135 men employed in the
mine regularly, but as yesterday was
pay day he could not say whether the
full quota was in the mine at the time
Of the disaster or not.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Less than
thirty stockholders of the Ladue Gold
Mining Company of the Yukon, hold
ing proxies for 10000 more stockhold-
ers, met to-day in Jersey City, and
after making threats to sue several
prominent men once identified with the
company, appointed a committee to
confer with the new officers of the
company when elected and report TO
the stockholders on April 21.
The company was organized in the
boom days of the Klondike by the late
Ladue, formerly Of Plattsburg, N. Y,
one of the founders Of Dawson City
and it's first Mayor. 1t was capitalized
at 5000, 900 and among the original d.
rectors whom Ladue interested in his
project were Senator Depew, Thomas
c. James, Smith Weed, w. ]. Arkell
and John Christensen, formerly con-
troller of the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad. None of these
men are now on the board and none of
them attended to-dav's meeting as
stockholders.
1t is alleged by many Of the stock
holders that the company, instead OF
owning valuable mining property. has
only a vast tract Of valueless Alaska
land and a few cheap buildings. They
state that thev invested in the COM
pany, relying upon the names Of De-
pew and others as a guarantee of the
honesty of the enterprise. IT Is charged
that the only dividend ever paid by
the company was not paid from the
earnings, but from the capital. For all
these reasons these stockholders think
that the original directors, including
Senator Depew, can be legally and
equitably called upon to make good
their losses

DEMANDS
HOME RULE
FOR ERIN

LONDON, Feb. 20.-In moving as an
amendment to the address in reply to
the speech from the throne the decla-
ration that "the present system Of
government (of Ireland) is opposed to
the will of the Irish people," John E.
Redmond led the Irish party in the
House of Commons to-day in an attack
that contained for the Conservative
Ministry more of menace than lay in
the fiscal debate precipitated by AS
quiths amendment last week The
Redmond amendment was carefully
calculated, in fact, to undermine the
Governments majority. Interest in the
debate was intensified by we'll defined
report in the lobbies, and which quick
ly spread elsewhere, that the Earl of
Dudley had resigned the Lord Lieuten-
ancy of Ireland. This report, which
was given wide credence, gave heart
to the Nationalists, who made the at
tack on the Earl of Dudley one of the
features of their speeches. Late to-
night the Earls secretary declared the
rumor unfounded.
RedmOnd'S speech was an uncom-
promising demand for home rule. He
directly and unsparingly charged in
