the third act is said to be nothing
short of astonishing.

NO HOPE FOR ENTOMBED
ONLY THREE BODIES TAKEN
FROM THE VIRGINIA MINES.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, February 2l.-The
latest report today from the Virginia mine,
where over a hundred miners are entombed
by yesterdays explosion, is that three
bodies have been recovered. 1t is now said
that only 116 men, instead of $50 were in
the mine when the explosion occurred. The
rescuers are still at work and it is rumOred
that no less than fifty dead bodies are in
sight.
The rescuers during the night encountered
much after-damp and many of them had to
be taken to the surface and revived, hav-
ing been overcome by the fumes. This leads
the rescuers to believe that the entombed
could not possibly have lived this long in
their underground prison.
Hundreds Of miners gathered at the mine
during the night to help In the rescue work,
but only limited number could be en-
ployed. .s'v
However, soon as one shift was tired
or overcome by after-damp another was
ready to continue the work. State Mine In
spector j. NJ Gray was on the scene all
night directing the work. The mine is some
distance off the railroad and is reached
only by wagon road.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Special Interest in the Contest at
Philadelphia Today

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, February 21-
More than ordinary interest was manifest
ed in the municipal elections today be-
cause of the charges Of corruption made
against the administration, principally IN
the interest of the city party, a reform po-
lftical organization, recently formed, which
has been conducting vigorous campaign.
Increased activity was noticeable at the
polls, especially in those wards where the
city party made fight for councils.
Early indications point to the election of
the entire republican ticket, including John
L. Kinsey for city solicitor, the ten candi-
dates for magistrates and all the candI-
dates for councils. In the councilmanic
contests the republican leaders do not ex-
pect single defeat.
In the magisterial contests VIM. Efsen-
brown and Albert H. Ladner, democrats,
have the Endorsement of the city party. and
j. M. Rush Jermon, who has conducted
an independent campaign, is also support
ed by the reform organization. The MI
nority representation on the magisteriai
ticket numbers five, and it is believed that
all of the democratic candidates will be
elected.

Gus, apparently, SO far as health is con-
cerned, but are frauds and consist for the
most part Of cheap and worthless make
weights added to increase profits Or meet
competition in price. In this class are
ground coffee, spices and cream of tartar
Among the forms Of adulteration danger
Gus to health the reports finds that chem
ical antiseptics, borax and formaldehyde
are used largely with milk ''as a substi-
tute for cleanliness in the dairy"
OF the samples of tomato catsup and chilli
sauce examined seventy-one We're colored
red with dyes and seventy-seven were pre-
served with salicylic or benzoic acid.

BRIBERY FUND A FEATURE.
Interest in Trial of Former Assembly
man in Missouri

BUTLER, Mo-, February 21.-Interest in
the trial of Charles Krantz, former member
of the st. Louis municipal assembly, who is
charged with accepting a bribe while a
member of that body, centered today in
the 100000 bribery fund which the state has
impOunded and which has been used in
other trials as evidence against Kratz's CO.
defendants.
Judge Denton issued an order to compel
the ST. Louis Trust Company, which has
custody of the money, to produce it in
court. The trust company contended it
could not obey the order, as the company
has been directed by the ST. Louis circuit
court to hold the money. Judge Denton
overruled this contention and his original
order stands.
The defense is fighting against the in
PRODUCTION of the money, contending that
such introduction would be prejudicial to
the interests of the defendant
Circuit Attorney Sager of st. Louis opened
the case against Kratz today. Both Kratz
and his wife were in court.

he only acted in the interests of an oP-

plotting the weak will of the emperor tor
their own ends They had made him

He was aware that the emperor was an
innocent dupe. and his party had decided
to deliver the emperor from the evil lnf1u-
ences surrounding him, in the nope that
he some day would join in the movement
and become the head of a national gov

FAVORS COAL DEALER
COURT OF APPEALS DECIDES
AGAINST THE DISTRICT.

The Court of Appeals. by an opinion writ
ten by Mr.. Chief Justice Shepard, and
handed down this afternoon, affirmed the
judgment of the lower court in the case
of the District of Columbia. appellant.
against J. Edward Chapman.
The case involved the liability of a retail
coal dealer who sells coal and wood by
contract to the government to pay IL
cense OF $2o year as a contractor under
the provisions of the personal tax law,
which provides that building and other
contractors shall pay annually license of
10. Not having paid such license Mr..
chapman year or more ago was arrested
and taken before the Police Court. and in
order to secure his release from arrest
paid the amount under protest and brought
suit to recover it before q justice
of the peace At the trial of the
case before the justice of the peace
Mr.. Chapman lost and appealed to the
Supreme Court of the District, wherein last
spring he recovered judgment against the
District for the return of the amount so
paid, with costs and interest. The District
then appeald to the Court of Appeals. In
addition to the question Of whether he was
liable to the tax, it was further argued by
the Districts counsel that having elected to
pay the tax rather than contest the ques-
ton in the Police Court, Mr.. Chapman had
waived any right to sue for it's return. On
the other hand 1t was contended by Mr..
Chapman'S attorney that If a retail wood
and coal dealer is subject to such tax be-
cause of selling to the government every re-
tail merchant in the city who may sell any
commodity whatsoever is likewise subject
to such a tax, which would manifestly be
placing an absurd Interpretation upon the
meaning of Congress" and that, further, his
client was not obliged to submit to a crimi-
nal prosecution In the Police Court with
possibility of fine and Imprisonment, in or
der to test the question of his liability to
pay such tax. but might pay the same un-
der protest and bring suit TO recover The
amount if Illegally exacted of him. and
thus test his liability to pay the tax. As
stated, the Court of Appeals upheld the
contentious of Mr.. Chapman
The case is regarded as important, as 1t
is said 1t affects the revenues of the Dis
trict to a considerable degree.

SIGNED BY THREE HUNDRED.
Petition for Consideration of Public
Buildings Bill.

Chairman Gi:let On. Y.)r.of the House
committee on public buildings and grounds
today took the initiative in behalf of the
omnibus public building bill by applying to
Speaker Cannon for a rule giving that
measure the right of way in the House, and
backed up this application with petition
signed by 800 members of the House, both
republicans and democrats
In former conferences with the Speaker,
as chairman of the committee on rules,
very little encouragement has been receiv-
ed for the bill. No apparent change in this
situation was indicated today.
Some O, the most radical advocates of a
public building measure have suggested
calling a caucus in the event the commit
tee on rules remains deaf to the pleadingS
of members. Chairman Gillet is hopeful
that his bill will be given a right of way
without drastic measures.
