THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
No Sea Fight as Yet-Lnevitch Is All
Ready.


Ready.
There were few important develop
ments in the far east last week, either
on land or sea. The movements of
both Russian squadrons were shroud-
ed in mystery. 1t is not yet known
whether Admiral Rojestvensky will
sail north through the straits of For
mosa and risk encounter with any Jap
anese vessels that may attempt to in
tercept him or whether he will make
for the open sea and seek to reach
NladiVOstOck by an outside course. The
manifest reluctance of the Japanese to
engage the enemy now that it has en-
tered Asiatic' waters leaves everybody
in doubt as to what TOgo's plans may
be, and it is matter of guesswork
as to whether the great battle is to be
in the near future or at some indefinite
day that is far away.
On land there are some signs of ac-
tivity, but seemingly nothing approach
ing preparation for an advance. The
vanguards of both armies are in touch
north of Tie pass and the disorgani-
cation incident to the battle of Muk-
den and the subsequent pursuit has
been corrected. General Linevitch de-
clares that he is ready to assume the
offensive and seems to be slowly feel
ing his way toward the south, but he
meets pressure at every point from the
Japanese and it is evident that he will
make no substantial forward move
ment without encountering active re-
sistance.
So far as is known, the Japanese are
making no turning movement with a
view to driving in either of the Rus
sian TANKS, but there are reiterated
reports that the Japanese are advanc-
ing along the eastern road from Korea,
the evident intention being to get in
the rear of Vladivostock. But the
news of these land operations is notice
ably indefinite and the world is about
as ignorant of them as it is of the
maneuvers of the belligerent fleets on
the sea-

COAL Mine DISASTER
THIRTEEN MINERS KILLED BY AN
Big EXPLOSION.
Four Miles West of WiIburton, Okla.
Little Prospect of Bodies Being
Recovered for Several Days-Shaft
$50 Feet Deep and Men Were 800
Feet From Shaft.

WILBURTON, Okla, May 1.-Thir-
teen miners were entombed and prob
ably killed by an explosion in the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Coal company's
mine No. 10, four miles west of here.
There is little prospect of their bodies
being recovered for several days. They
are B. F.. Steiner, foreman; Mike
Wynn, Ralph Fisher, Ben Smith, Will
lam Atkinson, G. Golden, Joe Morino,
all white, and Gus Phillips, Knox
Lynch, j. d. Byrd, Mike Duvall, r. F.
Gates and William Edwards, colored.
The shift left shot hanging which
the new shift may have fired. 1t is
suggested from the force of the ex-
plOsiOn, which could be. heard for
miles around and which tore heavy
timbers aside and piled tons of dirt
into the SHAFT, that mad shot had
set off some dynamite which had been
stored conveniently for work in push
ing the entries. The shaft is $50 feet
deep, and it was 800 feet to the place
where the men were working. The
men were supplied with air famed
from the shaft and by means of com
pressed air tubes 1t is the general
opinion that the air pipe was burst
by the explosion, but air has been
steadily pumped all day with the re-
mote hope that some of the entombed
men may have escaped the force of
the explosion and the after damp.
The rescuers began work within a
few minutes after the explosion. The
condition of the timbers indicate that
| it will be necessary to recase the
mine, in which event the bodies may
not be reached before Wednesday or
Thursday.
1t is the opinion of experienced min
ers that all of the men are dead.

T. J. Smith a DefauIter.

The amount of money embezzled by
Edward J. Smith, the defaulting city
tax collector of San Francisco during
the last few days prior to his depart
ure for parts unknown is steadily ap-
preaching the 100000 mark.
In addition to being an embezzler, it
is now discovered that he is also a
forger. He has raised sums ranging
from $50 upwards on forged demands
on the city treasurer, purporting to
come fom clerks and other employees
for services rendered
There is now a second woman in
the case. Her name is LeOna Brooks.
She was once a waitress in a Spokane
restaurant and 1t is she with whom the
former tax conector is said to have
stolen away with the city's funds.

Japanese Heroes Will Be Honored.

With elaborate ceremonies, begin
ming Wednesday and ending Friday,
the names of 30,S66 soldiers and sail
ors of Japan killed prior to the battle
of Mukden were enshrined in the Sko-
konsha temple at Toxic. Many kins-
men and kinswomen of the victims of
the war assembled in Toxic to partici-
pate in the ceremony and were shown
special consideration. These were the
special guests of the government. The
flag of the Russian cruiser Variag
which was sunk in the first naval bat
tie of the war, and standard captured
at Mukden are on exhibition in the
temple. The emperor and empress of
Japan attended the ceremony on
Thursday and the crown princess was
present on Friday.
The ceremony is based on the ma
tional belief of the Immortality of the
soul and the homage due to ancestors.

Resist Landing of Japs.

Seattle, Wash.-The steamer Olym-
pia is anchored in the Sound here with
610 Japanese laborers aboard who are
to be landed and distributed along the
sections of the Great Northern rail-
road. The orientals were brought
from plantations in the Hawaiian ISL
ands by the Oriental Trading COM
many. The Western Central Labor
union believes that the importation
of the Japanese is in violation of the
alien contract labor law and an at
tempt is being made to secure a re-
straining order and prevent their be-
ing landed.

American League.
Per cent.

The first tournament and organiZa-
ton of the Western Bowling congress
at Spokane last week was a tremen-
dOus success. There were delegates
present from five western cities-Salt
Lake, Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and
Spokane.
The Western congress did not really
secede from the American. The or
ganizatiOn of a western congress was
the outgrowth of dissatisfaction over
the rumors which were put through
by eastern boWlers and the great ex-
pense attached to attending the tour
naments so far east.
The scores made by the boWlers
were Unexpectedly high. There were
one Milwaukee record where there
were far above a thousand entries re-
corded was smashed. Bernie Ryan
and H. Dittmer rolled up the splendid
score of 1881 in the two men tourna-
ment, Dittmer's scores of 225, 225 and
2O4 being especially creditable. The
Milwaukee high record in the two men
events was 1913. In the five men team
event, Andrew PawsaleK and II. C..
Tietje of Tacoma, and S. B. Kelly. H.
Dittmer and George Browne of Spo-
kane, came within IS pins of the prize
winners score at Milwaukee. C. NJ.
Anderson of ST. Paul captured the in
dividual high score at the national
meet with 655 which is just one pin
more than Dittmer's record in the two
men event.

A Substitute for
White Blouses

White blouses have been having
things pretty much their own way for
the past three summers. This year
they're trying to force shirt waists into
the background and take their places
as well as the place they hold by virtue
of their own good qualities.
There's an occasional woman, though.
who can't wear white all the time.
either because 1t makes too much Iaun-
dry work for the servants Tor for her
purse), or because on shopping tours or
for business she finds it impossible to
keep neat TO the end of the day. And
anything's better than white that isn't
al its whitest.
Another reason that this occasional
woman advances is that she very much
dislilSes the 'cut-in-half" look a light
waist and a dark skirt give.
The result of all her objections is that
she set herself TO work to solve a
satisfactory answer to the blouse CUES
ton. Dark blouses and shirt waists
were tabooed-that is. nobody wore
them, yet there must be some way
around the question.
She sat and studied over it. and then
got out the suit she expected to wear
most. The sight of it acted as inspira-
ton.
1t was blue. so she got biue-dotted
swiss-exactly the same shade, but
frightened up little by tiny embroid-
cred white dots-and made q couple of
blouses of Ii. untrimmed. except for
tucks. TIL, collars were just bands of
tucks. over which she wore the pref
test turnover collars gand the lego
mutton sleeves Were plain. except for
the turn-back cuffs.
The result was just what she had
hoped-she could go to town for a day
and come out looking neat; and the
blouse could be pressed out ina few
minutes ready for its next Wearing
The same Idea could be carried out
with suits of other eolors although. of
course. the blouse should be the same
color as the skirt, and In other ma
terial5. except with brown. which is too
hot a color, anyway, for summer. Elk
quisite gray swiss comes-just right for
those stunning gray linen suits. and for
tan Il host of sheer +'naturaI-cofor''
stuffs. and even for the people who are
IN mourning there are materials as
lightweight and delicate and more
daintily stylish than you perhaps
thought any black stuff could be.
