iative committee to investigate life insur-
ance companies in this state for mayor of

said:
90 not hesitate to say that it seems
elear 10 me that 1t VIII be difficult. If not
impossible. for the investigation to accom-
plish the best results, IL it be made to an
pear that the credit for the work of the

IF he accepts the nomination, whether
he continues as counsel or retlres from that
position, the claim will certainly be made
that the republican organization has sought

Storming the Towns in Andalusia and
Demanding Food.
Madrid. Spain.-The disorders in An
dalusia as d result Of the famine are
growing alarmingly. The sacking of
farms and the slaughtering of sheep
and cattle continue practically I'M
checked. The districts around Car
mona, Osuna, Estepa. Utrera, Maron
and Jerez are terrorized by hunger
driven peasants. The wealthier resi-
dents are fleeing and abandoning their
homes, taking refuge in Seville, Cor
dova and other large cities.
The starving peasants continue to in
wade the towns. clamoring for food
and sometimes footing. 1t is stated
that 1000 are massed outside Osuna,
threatening to storm the houses of the
rich.
Aid from the Government and public
charity is inadequate and distributed
slowly. Troops are protecting many
towns. but the authorities hesitate to
take severe measures, partly through
sympathy with the distressed and
partly through fear lest a wave Of vio-
lenee be provoked.
1t is estimated that 1000, 900 are des-
perately hungry, and that 100000 Of
these are actually starving.

Avalanche of Rock brushes Many
Workman in Quarry
Dozen Killed by Tons Of Rock Near Al
lentown, a.-Others Injured by
the Huge Mass of Stone.

Allentown, Pa.-A mass of limestone,
weighing thousands of tons, slid from
a side of the quarry Of Mill A, of the
Lehigh Portland Cement Company at
Ormrod at noon, just five minutes be-
fore time to quit work, killing a dozen
men and injuring several others.
twenty-five men were at work in the
quarry, which is 1000 feet long. 80
feet across and 100 feet deep. The
heavy rains of the past two days had
Softened the earth, and this caused the
slide of rock. Where the fallen mass
slipped away, a smooth and nearly
perpendicular wall was left, rising
sheer 100 feet above the bottom Of the
quarry, while the entire quarry floor
was covered with broken, jagged rock.
Only nine Of the men got away safe
ly. Four of these escaped by running
up on a mass of rock at the opposite
side of the quarry. The remaining
eighteen men occupied a space ten feet
square, and were crushed under the
falling rocks. All of the men were
Slavonians, who lived in quarters close
to the quarry.
Two men who saw the side of the
quarry culver shouted a warning to
the workers. These m~isinterpreted the
calls, and failed to move out Of the
way of danger until it was too late.
With a laundering roar the mountain
Of rock fell, pinning the victims fast.
All the men from the company's five
neighboring quarries as we'll as the
rigging gang set to work at one to ex-
tricate the unfortunate laborers. They
used block and tackle, croYbars, n.y.
draulic jacks and picks to remove the
stone. many single pieces of which
weighed several tons. Means were
heard coming from several places, and
to these the rescuers directed their
first efforts. They uncovered n man
after another, and at SIC got out the
last living man. His head and Shout
ders were exposed from the first. but
his legs were pinned fast by an enor-
nous boulder.
Six men were found huddled in one
place., -four standing and two lying
down. Three were alive, but mi died
before he could be released. Five ply
sicians were summoned and gave the
injured first aid on the scene and then
had them hurried in wagons to the AL
lentown hospitals. The dead were car
ried to the Stockhouse.
Eight bodies were recovered before
dark.
Most Of the men killed or injured are
single. Others had families in Austria.
A number Of women from the foreign
colony ran to the quarry when the
news of the accident reached them and
worked with the men in the work of
rescue.
