Not Considered Dan
gerous.

The announcement Sunday
night of the death of DR.. H. NJ.
Lanier was heard with genuine
sorrow by his friends and ac-
quaintances throughout the city
and county where he had spent
ali Of his life.
DR.. Lanier had been sick with
grippe since the previous Tues
day, but his condition was not at
all alarming to his physicians or
to his family, and the sudden
end which came while the MEM
bers of the family were at supper
was a great shock to them. His
death was due to heart failure
and he passed away apparently
without a pain or struggle.
DR.. Lanier was born in Colum-
bus April %, 1849, his father be-
ing DR.. Robert E. Lanier, a well
known physician and citizen.
In 1870 he was married to Miss
Mollie Short, and to them five

married second time to Miss
Ella Keeler who is left to mourn
xuff n %haoa ah;llro~
DR.. Lanier was a graduate of
the Medical Department of Tu-
lane University and was engaged
in the practice of his profession.
He, for several years, was City
Marshal and had always taken
an interest in the city govern
ment. He was a yr0minent
member of the Odd Fellows and
Knights of Pythias, and his popu-
lariry in these organizations was
demonstrated by the large num-
Der Of the members Wh1 attended
his funeral.
He was a consistent member
of the Methodist Church, being a

SHOT IN FOOT,
Columbus Boy Shoots Himself
Accidentally But Not
Seriously.

Every body in Columbus knows
genial, handsome and loveable
Leonard Goodrich, and nearly
every body knows he goes fishing
and hunting occasionally, and
some few of US know that he
shoots himself as we'll as birds
and rabbits-though not seriously
but the following from the
Macon Herald of last week will
be read with regret by his many
Columbus friends:
''Mr L, L. Goodrich, cotton
buyer, had the misfortune to
shoot himself in the foot last Sat-
urday evening while out hunting.
A slip on the ice was the cause of
the accident, the shot fron a %
calibre rifle crushing the bone
just above the big toe. He has
been confined to his room all the
week, but expects to be out in
day or two"

the FRS, Presbyterian church
were entertained at a Valentine

made a very charming hostess.
The scheme of the decorations
was very appropriate to the oc-
casion, being strings of varied
white hearts. The principal
event of the evening was the
contest as to who could write the
most unique and original valen-
tine. Mr.. Frank Harris was the
most successful competitor. Mus
ical selections were rendered by
Mrs. Webb, Miss Ida Lee Bealle,
and Miss Hawley, pianist. De-

and after another hour of enjoy
ioyment the guests departed for
their respective homes. Those

A special from Birmingham,
the Doth says:
"By an explosion in the Vir-
ginia mines, about eighteen miles
southwest of Birmingham, at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, between
10 and 1876 union miners are en-
tombed, and it is believed that
the entire number suffered an
awful death.
Scores of vigorous rescuers are
at work digging into the mine to
relieve their friends and COM
rades on the inside.
EXPLOSION FROM GAS.
The explosion is believed TO
have been caused by an accumu-
lation of dust, although the mine
has heretofore been noted for be-
ing we'll ventilated. 1t is also be-
lieved that as the entire quota
has probably been killed, the de-
tails OF the cause of the disaster
will never be known. The news
spread ike wildfire throughout
the whOle district.
The camp is almost isolated
from the rest of the world, as
there is no telephone station At
Virginia, ard the only wire run
ming to the place Is d dispatcher 5
wire Of the Birmingham Mineral
Railroad, on which Virginia is
located.
Details of the disaster were
slow to come in, but each man
who arrived in the city from the
scene told a more grewsome story
of the horror.
The class of miners employed
was the bsst in the district, and
all belonged 70 the United Nine

Gas Explosion in Virginia Mines About Eighteen Miles South
west Of Birmingham at O'clock
Monday Afternoon
BELIEVED ENTIRE QUOTO HAVE BEEN KILLED,

industrious and thrifty miners OF
Pratt City and other important
mining points have removed to
the Virginia mines, so that the
mines were being worked to their
full capacity by the most skilled
miners of the community.
RELIEF TRAINS SENT OUT.
Relief trains with surgeons and
workmen were dispatched from
both Birmingham and Bessemer
as soon as the news of the disas-
ter was learned. They began
the work of succor in earnest be-
fore 6 O'Clock, and at midnight
had not gotten half way through
the mass of debris. 1t is thought
that it will be 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning before the interior
of the slope is reached.
The slopes are well arranged,
and there has never been the
least trouble in the mines before.
They are owned by the Alabama
Steel and Wire Company, but are
leased and operated by Reid &
Co.
OFFICIALS GO TO SCENE.
j. d. HiIlhouse, Assistant
State Mine Inspector for Ala
bama, will go to the mines early
tomorrow morning to investigate
the disaster officially.
President Ed Flynn of the
Alabama United Mine Workers
and National Committeeman W.
R Fairly, together with Joe Hal
lier, District Organizer, have left
for the scene. President Flynn
said before leaving that there
were 135 men employed in the
mine regularly, but as today was
pay day, he could not say wheth-
er the full quota was in the mine
al the time Of the disaster or not.

ANOTHER "YELLOW" JOLT

A new postal law relative to newspapers will be
effective next September AS it seems to have i'm
portant bearing on the business of the 'yeow" pur-
veyor of prurency in Los Angeles it is worth noticing
specially. In explaining one feature of the law the
postofce department states that newspaper supple
ment in order to be malable part Of the publica-
ton must be germane thereto and ut must be matter
supplied in order to complete that to which it is al
legged to be a supplement" Furthermore "it must ap-
pear in point of fact that the publication itself is in.
complete without its supplement- it also must appear
point of fact that the function of the supplement is
subsidiary and not independent complete in itself;
in other words that it requires both to make
plete copy of that issue"
The discrimination thus drawn fits to nicely the
mass of literary and pictorial nastiness that the Los
Angeles Examiner circulaes every Sunday osten
sble part of that days issue of the paper Not line
nor colored ink daub of the stuff is any in the
nature of a supplement than would be the Police
Gazette 1t is all the output of the Hearst yellow
paper plant in New York. and is sent to Los Angeles in
bulk long before its nhction upon the community

The postofhce department has control, of course,
over the distribution of the New York output by
carriers but the sending of the through the mails

COERCION AND MORAL sUAsloN

Adam and Eve transmitted to all posterity weak
for munching fruit that is forbidden You the
trait in early infancy, when mothers darling insists
doing just what it is cautioned not to do You see it
when the youngster has grown to boyhood or grhood
manifested in many ways. You see 1t in mature life
when the man the woman, denied a right priv
ege is determined to get 1t perish in the attempt
Most Of all, quite naturally, mankind is inclined to
resent any action that conflicts with his liberty in
respect to personal habits No will allow another
to dictate to him what he shall eat drink
And attempt to force him in such only in
his determination to for what he regards
his rights at all hazards.
This trait of human nature will be consplcuously in
evidence right here in Los Angeles in at
tends the efforts to close the saloons Such closure
would essentially tell thousands of that they shall
not step up to a bar and drink what they like when
they feel inclined. Instead of discouragng from
drinking the act would merely excite fixed deermna-
ton to have the drink saloon saloon In addition
to the appetite for drink there is that old characteristic
inherited from the first parents which impes man to
get, nolens volens. what he is forbidden to have.
1t is a knowledge of this human Characteristic,
coupled with experience and observation which leads
the thoughtful people of Los Angeles to oppose the plan
of closing all the saloons in the city Considerate
citizens believe that it will injure rather than benefit
the of temperance attempt reformation Of the
liquor evil by coercve methods The view Is taken by
such thinkers that in driving the drinking away
from the saloon door you merely him to seek the
stuff he elsewhere and that he will get it in spite
of all obstacles.
Moral suason not coercion, is the rational means of
winning from the drinking habit. That plan has
been tried and is being tried in Los Angeles with
satisfactory results under the guidance of Francis
Murphy. Coercive for stopping the drinking
habit the contrary invariably have failed of their
purpose. 1t is because Of such uniform failure that
the practical friends Of the temperance in Los
Angeles oppose the coercve plan in the issue now
pending.

PACIFIC COMMERCIAL CONTROL

broad field of discussion has been opened in the
northern press resulting from recent real estate trans
action in San Francisco That the deal, on which
The Herald commented at the time. involving the sale
of seventynine feet of frontage Market street at
the rate of $4,000 foot No sale approaching that figure
has ever before been negotiated in San Francisco 1t
made high water mark in property values that has
attracted widespread attention. with general discussion
of the significance of such extraordinary property
figure
There is quite general agreement among the papers
that discussing this matter relative to the cause of
the squirt in San Francisco property values 1t is based
on the citys prospective San Francisco is
just beginning realize that it has commercial op-
porunity such as other city has enjoyed in modern
times 1t has at present the whole Pacific field of COM
in it's grasp practically, with the exception of
the hold maintained by the Puget sound cities. San
Francisco is the commercial nucleus of two thousand
miles of Pacific coast and its sphere of business infu-
ence is as broad the
If San Francisco could maintain its present position
in monopolizing the ranspacifc commerce. SO far as
California concerned its future place would be
the three four leading ports of the world The COM
of the Pacific is destined ultimately to rival and
probably surpass that of the Atlantic California is
breast to breast with the great oriental ports which
the commercial business of hundreds of millions
of people, If San Francisco could retain its present
almost exclusive hold the oriental trade while that
trade in process of Development it would have COM
mercal future promising in time to rival that OF New
York or Liverpool.
But San Francisco cannot permanently have a mo-
nopoy of the ranspacifc Another port, now
in the formative stage will challenge the northern one
for share of it's within the next two three
years. 1t is not probable that San Francisco will
suffer serious backset from San Pedros competition,
because the rapid increase of business will tax the
facilities of both harbors but with the completion of
the San Pedro harbor the northern city will know it's
special facilities for the monopoly of at
an end.
There is nothing to prevent San Pedro from becom-
ing formidable rival Of San Francisco when its harbor
improvements are completed In some respects San
Pedro will have decided advantage over the northern
city, In the matter of railway connection for example,
San Pedro is at least level with San Francisco in
the number of transconnental lines and is several
hundred miles nearer the great railway points
There will be quite enough commercial business for
the southern port in view Of its splendid railway
nection with the eastern marts to make it a quite
formidable factor in the transpacfc business of the
future.
