STRUCK A SNAG.
Trial of Justice Hooker Halts Because
of an Editors Refusal to Give
information.

Albany, n. Y, July 15.-Editor-in-
Chief Erwin Wardman, of the New
York Press, was the storm center Fri
day in the state legislature. His re-
fusal to give the reasons for his eX-
pressed belief that members of the
legislature had been the subject Of
improper influences in connection
with the trial of the charges against
Supreme Court Justice Warren B.
Hooker produced intense excitement
and the question Of the disposal of his
case has entirely overshadowed in in
terest here the charges against Jus
tice Hooker. Incidentally the situa-
tion has raised far-reaching questions
as to the status and powers of the
present joint session.
This situation developed unexpcct-
edly out of the desire of members of
the legislature to learn who wrote an
article in the Press of last Wednes-
day, in which it was asserted that both
political pressure and Doodle were
being invoked in behalf of Justice
Hooker TO prevent his removal from
office as a justice OF the supreme

SCORES OF LIVES LOST.
A Mine Disaster at Wattstown, Wales
Causes the death of 12o Men.

Cardiff, Wales, July 12.-An explo-
sion of firedamp in No. pit of the
United National Colliery Co. at Watts
town, in the Rhonda valley, the center
of the great Welsh coal fields, Tues
day morning, is believed to have re-
suited in the loss of 126 lives.
The explosion was followed immedi-
ately by the belching of clouds of
smoke and dust from the pit shaft, in
which $50 men were working. The
force of the explosion wrecked the
machinery at the mouth of the pit. All
communication with the doomed men
in this direction is completely cut off.
No, l shaft adjoining, has ordinarily
afforded communication with No. 2.
The 800 men in No. 1 and the few who
escaped from No. were drawn up.
A rescue party descended, but it's
work was seriously impeded by the
foul air and the falling masses of
earth dislodged by the explosion.
Altogether CO bodies have been re-
covered.
Heroic efforts were made for hours
to reach the entombed men, but late
last night the absence Of all sound
from the interior of the mine told the
tale of the worst disaster that has
taken place in South Wales since 1894.

A NEW SPEED RECORD.
It Was Made by a Santa Fe Train
During Run from Los Angeles
to Chicago.

Chicago July 12.-With every car
blackened by record breaking run
from Los Angeles to Chicago. the
Walter Scott special on the Santa Fe
railroad arrived here at 11:54 a. m.
Tuesday, having beaten all previous
records by hours, as well as lettering
the special trains own schedule.
Consisting of a baggage car, diner
and private living car, the train which
left Los Angeles at l p. m. Sunday,
came into the Polk street station al
most at top speed, having made the
run of 2,265 miles in Al hours and Sc
minutes. This Is trifle over % hours
faster than the time of the regular
Santa Fee limited; 1t is three hours and
four minutes faster than the original
contract called for (Which was 4S
hOurs) and beats even the later sched-
ule of 40 hours by four minutes.
The best previous time for this run
was made by the Peacock special in
1900 in race against DEATH" but the
record of this train by the perform
ance consummated yesterday is
beaten by seven hours and 50 minutes.
Extraordinary time was made east
ward from Dodge City, Kan, where
the train arrived 35 minutes late. But
good roadbed, clear track and expert
work by the engineer and fireman not
only regained the lost time, but beat
the closest and most hopeful calcula-
tion by four minutes.

The White River Division.

st. Louis, July S.-The White River di.
vision of the Iron Mountain Route, be-
tween Newport, Ark, and Carthage, Mo,
is rapidly approaching completion, and re-
port of representatives of the general pas
senger department, who recently made a
complete trip over the line, indicates that
through trains will be running inside of
sixty days.
while several thousand tourists have al
ready made the trip from each end of the
completed line, and we have hauled during
the month of June over forty fishing par
ties from Carthage, who desired to make
the five-day float from Galena to Branson,
returning on train in so minutes, for the
complete daylight run over the new line"
said Mr.. IL: G. Townsend, general passen-
ger agent, there will be tourist travel
unprecedented over any line in this part
of the country. The fishing proposition is
becoming so well known that "a number of
club houses on the James river, between
Galena and BransQn, are now completed
and are taxed to their capacity"
The romantic features of the new line
are naturally the ones to attract the most
general attention, but the agricultural and
mineral possibilities of this new region are
remarkable"
"The road itself is a marvel of engineer
ing, and the S5-pound rails, with rock bal
last, promises the highest degree of speed
and safety"

GOT MILLIONS IN REBATES.
A Stockholder In the Harvester Com
bine Makes Sensational Statements
in a Lawsuit Against 1t.

Chicago, July 12--Rodney b. Swift,
formerly head Of the experimental de-
partmcnt of the Mccormick branch of
the International Harvester Co, yes
terday filed a suit against the com
pany demanding an accounting.
Swift's connection with the com
pany was severed some months ago,
and suit was commenced against him
by the officials of the company, who
alleged that he had defrauded them
in the sale Of patent. In his bill filed
yesterday Swift. as stakeholder, de-
mands an accounting from the com
pany. and demands that the court
force the company to cease taking re-
bates from railroad companies, and
also compel the company to return to
the railroads moneys said by Swift to
have been Illegally extracted from the
railroads in the past. Eleven railroads
are also made parties to the suit.
OF the railroads made defendant in
the suit two. the Chicago, West Pull
man & Southern and the Illinois
Northern are described in the bill
filed by Swift as being the means by
which tribute was eNacted from the
larger roads in favor of the Harvester
company.
The two roads. Swift asserts, CON
sist principally of switch tracks. Swift
declares that UP to September 30,
1902, the Mccormick branch of the
Harvester company alone forced the
railroads to pay it, through rebates
and the operations of the Illinois
Northern road, sum in excess Of
money received in rebates by the
Plano branch of the Harvester com
pany through the agency of the Chi
cago. West Pullman & Southern rail
road amounted to 100000.
Since September 80, 1902, IT is de
clared that all the other railway com
panies have been making payments of
rebates to the International Harvester
Co. under the guse of an alleged divi-
sion of freight rates with the Illinois
Northern Co.
1t is further declared that the un-
lawful course of the directors of the
corporation has damaged the Harvest
er company to the extent of S5,000,000,
which amount Swift demands the di-
rectors repay to the company
The injunction demanded by Swift
asks that the court prevent purchase
by the company of any manufacturing
plants when the purpose of the pur-
chase is in whole or in part the sup
preston of competition.

TRADE REVIEW.
Retail Business at Many Points Ex-
ceeds Expectations.

New York, July 15.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Seasonable merchandise goes into
consumption more freely than usual,
retail trade exceeding expectations at
many points, and preparations for fall
and winter business is on a liberal
scale, except in a few agricultural
communities where there is a dispo-
sition to await definite assurances re
garding the crops. The official report
was more encouraging as to grain
Manufacturing reports are irregu-
lar, the cotton industry being unset
tied by the rise in raw material;
woolen mills have a similar, but less
sensational obstacle: footwear shops
are shipping less freely, but are main
tanning the higher level of prices and
current dullness in pig iron does not
weaken confidence in an early re
sumption of liberal purchases.
Failures this week were 223 in the
United States, against 225 last year,
and 26 in Canada, compared with 20 a
year ago.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Three People Killed and t6 Injured
in a Collision of Passen-
ger Trains.

Chicago, July ia northbound
passenger train on the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois railway collided yes
terday with a suburban train at Stei-
ger, ILL.,, 30 miles from Chicago. Three
people were killed and 1G passengers
were injured.
Some of the injured may die. The
engines of both trains were demol-
ished and the first coach on the sub
urban train was smashed. The dead:
James Lyke, engineer of suburban
train.
George Epstein, Chicago.
Charles Horn, Crete, Ill.
The cause of the collision was an
open switch which let the through
train onto a siding on which the sub
urban train was standing.
That the switch which caused the
wreck was opened by some one, either
carelessly or with malicious intent, is
the theory of the officials. Search is
being made for a laborer at Steiger
upon whom suspicion rests. The man
disappeared soon after the wreck. A
warrant has been sworn out for his
arrest

Which Was Too Much
for Him.

opinion that appointees to the consular

1t is said that when a certain breezy and
enterprlsing western politician who was
desirous of serving the Cleveland admins
tration in the capacity of consul at one OF
the Chinese ports presented his papers to
Mr.. Olney, the secretary remarked:
Are you aware, Mr.. Blank, that | never
recommend to the president the appoint
ment of a consul unless he speaks the Ian.
guage OF the country to which he desires
to go? Now, l suppose, you do not speak
Chinese!"
Whereupon the westerner grinned broad
ly. 'If, Mr.. Secretary" said he, you will
ask me a question in Chinese | shall be
happy to answer it,"
He got the appointment.

AN UP-GROUND CELLAR.
Detailed Plans and Specifications for
Building One Of
Them.

An up-ground cellar, properly con-
structed, will guard against frosts in
winter and serve as a cool dairy house
in summer. 1t avoids the toiling up
and down steps of the underground
cellar, and obviates the necessity for
drainage in level countries where such
would be impracticable.
The building blocks or square tiles
used in this plan are 8x10x16 inches,
and have an extra partition through
the center. thus supplying two hollow
or dead-air spaces in the outer wall.
The excavation for cellar should be
thrown out at least two feet in depth
and filled with fragments of stone fine
ly broken. After filing six or eight
inches the outer wall should be laid
