BENTON, Ill, April 8. - A terrific
explosion of gas entombed forty miners
today in Joseph Letters mine at Zeig-
Ter. AT midnight the dead was esti-
mated at 81, wounded 5. Up to this
hour fifteen dead bodies have been
taken out. Besides these bodies three
were removed alive but with fatal
injuries. The explosion, it is supposed,
was due to the fact that the Letter
mines are not worked on Sundays, thus
allowing gas to accumulate in the low
er workings
When between 35 and As miners had
descended into the mine today to re-
sumo work an explosion blew the
mouth of the mine high into the air.
One of the steel cages was blown to
the surface from the bottom of a 500
foot shaft. The shock was felt at Ben
ton, twelve miles northeast of Zeigler.
A teamster driving along a road half
mile from the mine was covered with
falling cinders and debris covered the
floor of his wagon half an inch deep.
One miner was killed and four were Sc
riously injured at the mouth of the
shaft in which the explosion occurred.
The work of rescue was begun by
miners who were arriving when the ex-
ploSlon TOOK place, but the main shaft
was demolished so that rescue work has
to be carried on through the air shaft
The rescue party finds II difficult to
work in the mine owing to the absence
of a proper fan to purify the mine air.
All the bodies found except two show
no marks of injury, indicating death by
aSphyXiation. All but four of the bod
les are SO blackened that Identification
is difficult. Rescue work will continue
all night. Joseph Letter is expected TO
reach Zeigler tonight.
There has been a strike of long dura-
ton and many conflicts have occurred
between strikers and nonunion miners.
In the effort to recover the entombed
men five rescuers were overcome by
after damp. All the searchers for the
men below were let down by hand
Among the dead is a workman en-
ployed in the tipple forty feet above
ground. Three others near him were
fatally wounded.
There were two explosions close to-
gether. The first took place in the air
shaft and was followed by a much
greater upheaval in the main shaft
Four cages, each containing ten men
of the day force, had gone down into
the mines, and were supposedly at the
bottom when the catastrophe occurred.
The explosion wrecked the shaft, blow
ing out the Skids on which the work.
erS were hOiSted.

tro said today that he is we'll satisfied
with the turn of American Venezuelan
affairs and feels sure there will be no
difficulty between the two nations as
the American government and people

been published for the information of
the world and similarly the pending

The president added that Venezuela
welcomed American capital, and while
his government insists on foreigners
living up to their contracts. it will also
prove that the Venezuelan courts will
assure guarantees to legitimate for
eign enterprise. The president con-
firmed the cable announcements that
he arranged for the conversion of
VeneZuela's external debt and said ar
rangements had also been made for the
conversion of the internal debt.

New York Gas investigation
Reveals Wonderful
Flnanclerlnq

NEW YORK, April 3.-Nearly five
billion OF the thirteen billion cubic feet
of gas supplied to consumers in New
York city by the Consolidated Gas
company last year was purchased from
the New Amsterdam and other gas
companies at the rate of from % to 40
cents per thousand cubic feet. This
fact was brought out today during the
examination of Benjamin A Whiteley,
assistant secretary Of the Consolidated
Gas company, before the legislative
commission. The Consolidated COM
pany supplies gas TO consumers at 81
per thousand cubic feet
Robert A.-CaFter, secretary OF the
company, was asked to explain what
disposition had been made OF the $780,
100000 which was realized when the
capital stock of the company was in
creased from $S0.0o0,ooO to 500, ,O0O, 900.
He replied that IL had been used "for
construction purposes" BY referring
to a statement which had been pre-
pared for the committee, however, Mr..
Hughes found that nearly $4,000, 900
of this sum had been received in cor
porate stock of the city of New York at
low rate Of interest, while the stock
holders were being paid interest on
the sum at the rate of 6 per cent. Mr..
Carter explained this was done be-
cause the company might need the
money at any time and wanted TO have
it available. He did not know that Ii
would be wanted in three months or
even In six months, however.

Minneapolis Streets Scene of
Evening Robbery
BROTHERS. MONEY STOLEN
Woman Still Unconscious From Blow That
Physicians Fear viii Result
In Death
BROTHERS. MONEY STOLEN

Rosella Helmer, a IL year old girl,
lies unconscious at her home, 514 Fifth
street south, Minneapolis, as the result
of terrific blow struck her on the
head by some blunt instrument in the
hands of two early evening high
waymen who, at $50 o'clock last even
ing, assailed her in a busy street and
made good their escape with $65 in
money which she carried.
The holdup occurred almost be-
fore the dusk of evening had fallen and
while Miss Helmer was walking down
Sixth street south, in the company Of
two little neighborhood girls. Her
brother, who is employed as q team
ster by a local lumber company had
come home few moments before with
his entire months wages, $65.00, and
had given 1t to his sister to take to
Bain's grocery store, Sixth avenue
south and Sixth street and deposit it
there for the night.
Stopped to Tie Shoe
AS she walked down Sixth street un-
til nearly opposite the old barn on the
Judd homestead, her shoestring became
unfastened and she bent over to tie it.
While she was so engaged two men,
who had been walking some distance
behind, overlook her and one of them
suddenly dealt her heavy blow over
the head with billy or slungshot. She
fell to the sidewalk, unconscious and
the two men, selling the money which
she CARED in her pocketbook, ran back
up Sixth street.
The suddenness of the attack so
frightened the children who were with
Miss Helmer that they were unable to
give an alarm until some moments after
the act had been committed. When
they finally did succeed in arousing
neighbors Miss Helmer's unconscious
form was found lying where ii had fall
len. The police were at once notified of
the occurrence and the girl was carried
to her home. At late hour this morn
ing she had given no signs of returning
to consciousness and fears for her life
are entertained.
Police Censor Report
The Minneapolis police are working
upon the theory that Miss Helmer's as
sailants watched through a window
while her brother gave the money to her
and then followed her down the street.
The censored report of the proceedings
given out from police headquarters
were to the effect that a purse snatch
er merely grabbed Miss Helmer's purse
containing $3.50. They merely misplace
ed their decimal mark.
Miss Helmer's mother is very Ill with
heart disease at the home, 514 Fifth
street south.

st. Petersburg Connects 1t
With AIssce-Lorraine
Matter

ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-The
developments resulting from Emperor
Williams speech at Tangier Friday
continue to attract great attention. The
sober view is that the German emperor
seized on a favorable opportunity to
give France a lesson for leaving Ger
many out of consideration in the
French-British understanding regard
ing Morocco with the view possibly Of
compelling France to make a perma-
nent remuneration of her aspirations
regarding Metz and Alsace-Lorraine,
also with the practical purpose of Sc
curing a vote in the reichstag next
fall for a large naval programme. There
is no serious idea that the incident may
lead to a conflict. With Russia en-
feebled, France will have to look to
Great Britain to play the role of pro-
tector assumed by Russia when Ger
many threatened her in 1875, and there
is a good deal of speculation on the
subject of the new grouping of the
powers. The home papers, however,
declare that. while the British press
may buster, Great Britain has secured
her quid pro quo in Egypt and will
leave France to take care of herself.

dent at Tangier of the Times asserts

tatives of the sultan of Morocco is as

MINISTERS TO FORM
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Political Candidates Will Have
to Run Gauntlet in
Future

AT meeting at the Y. NJ. C. A. yes
terday the ministers of st. Paul decided
to take an active part in politics here
after and appointed a committee of
three to formulate plans for munic-
ipal organization similar to the Home
Protection association of Minneapolis.
The committee was instructed to can
vass and ascertain the possibility of Sc
curing the cooperation of the business
men and public spirited citizens OF the
city, as it is not intended that the or
ganization shall be restricted to the
clergy alone. Should the organization
be effected, candidates for nomination
at the primaries will have their past
records looked up and published, ire
spective of political affiliation. The in
tention of the ministers is that the or
ganization shall not only agitate for re-
form when occasion necessitates, but
will also see to 1t that only good men
are placed on the party tickets, and the
best of these elected. The success of
the Minneapolis organization and the
Voters league of Chicago inspired the
ministers with a feeling that a league
or association of that character would
be good thing for the city,.

THE RECENT MEETING OF

cry, X. II.

The recent convOcation held by
the Grand COmmandery of Ken.
lucky at Richmond, was one of the
best and most successful ever held
by that Grand Body.
There were more Communicates
fully represented than ever before;
more Sir knights in line in the
parade-Over 500; and splendid
progress reported by the different
Communicates.
The Grand Commandery did a
graceful act when it congratulated
the venerable Sir Knight Curtis f.
Burnam upon his S5th birthday,
throwing open the hall to the out
side world to witness the recep-
ton, and also in congratulating
Rev. Sir Knight John M. Worrall
upon his 80th birthday. The scene
was very affecting, drawing tears
from eyes unused to weeping.
The Frankfort contingent re-
turned in high feather and I'M
stinted in praise of the handsome
way in which the Sir knights and
people of Richmond treated them.
Taken all together. the recent
Grand COmmandeIy showed the
order at high tide throughout the
State.
