1918 MEN BURIED
IN FRENCH MINE
Continued from Page one0

ter 1895 men had descended into the
mine this morning. There was a
deafening explosion, which was fol-
lowed by the cages and mining ap-
paratus being hurled from the mouth
of the Courrieres mine. Men and
horses near by outside the mine were
either stunned or killed. The roof of
the mine office was torn off.
Immediately following the explosion
flames burst from the mouth of the
pit, driving back those who sought to
enter and booming those within.
The work of attempting to rescue the
imprisoned miners was hastily begun
by official engineers and miners from
the surrounding mines, who formed
parties and made heroic efforts to pen
citrate the smoke and the foul gases
and bring out the imprisoned men.
Families Seek Relatives
The families of the entombed miners
crowded about the shaft seeking
fathers or husbands and threatening,
in their efforts to obtain details. to
force back the gendarmes who kept
them from the mouth of the pit.
The populace of the district is ap-
palled by the disaster, which affects
every household.
Those persons who were rescued
were terribly burned. The latest es-
Inmates place those taken out at SOL
Throughout the afternoon the efforts
at rescue were continued, but night
fall brought the conviction that the
entomDeu men mad been suffucatei and
the dispatch from Lille at S:45 D. m.
announcing the number of dead at
l193 appears to remove the last hope
that others may be brought to the
surface alive.

Z Banker |. w. HelIman I.
Banker HeIIman Predicts That Los
Angeles Will outstrlp San Franz
cisco Because II Has Room
for Expansion

I. w. Hellman, president of the
Nevada-Wells Fargo bank of san
Francisco and of the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank of Los Angeles, who is
guest of the Hotel Alexandria, says the
wave of prosperity that has struck Los
Angeles will make it exceed in size the
city of San Francisco in a few years.
1.-THE wave of prosperity that has not
only affected Los Angeles but the entire
state, cannot continue In such marked
proportions steadily but it has made
such a start with Los Angeles alone
within the past year that the great
future OF Los Angeles has been
definitely settled.
'There will always be progression
with Los Angeles. The city is the
coming commercial center of the south
west. 1t is fast forging ahead to such
place and the population of Los An
geles will increase SO rapidly within
the next ten years that it will have
more than doubled in that time.
81 can make no predictions as to
what the population will be, but it is
safe to say that since the city has
passed the 250,000 mark already the
growth of city that is always assured
after passing the 100000 mark will be
more pronounced in Los Angeles than
any other city, owing principally to the
delightful climatic conditions that exist
here.

EXPECTS PIG, GETS CORPSE
Labels on Coffin and Animals Crate
Are Exchanged, but Error
Is Corrected
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ALBION, Ind, March 10.-A mans
corpse was delivered yesterday to Will
liam Archer of Cromwell, Ind, who
went to the express office to get a prize
pig which he had purchased. Archer
refused to accept the coffin and inquiry
developed that the labels on the pigs
box and the coffin had become ex-
changed. Archer got his pig on the
next train, and it is presumed that the
corpse was delivered at the proper
place.
Archer's indignation when he got the
body and his frantic telegraphing for
an explanation was the thing that set
the express company on the trail of
the error and saved the mourners ad-
ditional distress.

Entire State Prosperous

"There are no special lines in which
the progression of the state of Call
fornia has been effected. The entire
state has been affected by a wave Of
prosperity and men in all lines of bust
ness have received the benefits there
from. California is in better financial
condition today than 1t has ever been
before.
"I am so assured of the great future
of this city that I do not hesitate to
invest in real estate almost any place
in the city or in the surrounding places.
How you can stop the spreading of
Los Angeles from the mountains to the
sea I cannot imagine. The time which
it will take for Los Angeles to grow to
such dimensions can hardly be pre-
dicted with any definite accuracy but
it is a foregone conclusion with not
only myself but with thousands Of
other heavy investors in the state"
Mr.. Hellman stated that 1t would re-
quire little more than silk months

EVIDENCE LOOKS
BAD FOR GEO. COX
JUDGES SAY HE TRIED TO IN

Former Republican Leader In Ohio
Shown Up Before Drake Investl-
eating Committee Of the
State Senate
BY Associated press.

by ASSOCldleu LGSS'
CINCINNATI, March 1o.-Two
Judges of the circuit court, in testimony
before the Drake investigating COM
,nittee of the state senate, charged that
George B. Cox, formerly Republican
leader of Hamilton county. had tried
to influence the Judgment of that court
in a suit involving q 100000 bond,
while q third Judge testified that Cox
had simply asked that the case be
given a fair and impartial hearing
when it came up on appeal.
This testimony came at the close OF
a day involving the testimony regard
ing the purchase of turnpikes, much
of comparatively minor Importance.
The judges of the circuit court had
been subpoenaed as witnesses, the gen.
eral understanding that they were to
appear with personal interest in one
or another of the turnpikes The ex-
animation, however, took an entirely
different turn.
Judge Ferdinand Jelke jr., of the
circuit court was the first witness. At
torney Roettinger called attention to
the suit brought in 1890 by the city
against the Lane & Bodley company
and the American Bonding company
for 100000 for an alleged default as
contractor in building the city water
works, in which the lower court had
given Judgment for $23S, ~, and asked:
"I want to ask you If an effort was
made to influence the judgment of your
court in the final disposition of this
case?"

Wanted Decision Reversed

Judge Jelke replied:
at can only speak for myself; I can
not speak for my colleagues. I do not
know that I was sent for but I called
on Mr.. Cox in his office. Mr.. Cox
said to me:
t"'Judge that Lane &c Bodley case is
coming up for hearing in your court.
I wish you would find some way of re-
versing It,
st said: mr.. Cox, that case will be
tried on its record, just like any other
case"
what did Mr.. Cox say in reply?"
"There was very little said. He said
he had been one of my associates on
the bench. My impression was that
he was not pleased"
Judge Jelke said that the case had
finally been decided that he voted to
affirm the lower court
Attorney Roettinger asked: WAS an
entry presented by Judge Miller Out
calf of the bonding case?"
"I believe he did. OF course. the mat
ter was pending for some time and
cannot tell the date of our conclusion.
One day Judge Outcalt said he be-
lieved that the case was settled, but
that the water works commissioners
were so timorous and afraid that they
did not want to settle without the
court. Judge Outcalt afterward pre-
scented an entry reserving the decision.
He said that counsel had agreed on it.
The next day I saw Judge Robertson,
counsel for the water works, and asked
him if he knew about it, He said that
he did not told Outcalt of this and
that no entry of reversal would be
made with my consent and that
would make an entry myself"

Wanted Fair Consideration

cat any rate Mr.. Cox said to me
there was some talk of a compromise,
and he wanted our court to give it
full and fair consideration. He Said
nothing to me about having a desire
that the case be reversed. After the
case was submitted I expressed my
idea that I thought there was an
error in the case. Some time after
that Judge Jelke said there was some
thing about the case that he did not
like. I told him If there was anything
wrong he ought not to decide the case.
He did not make 1t that strong.
Il never made an investigation of
the matter. The case terminated in

Judge Giffen's Testimony

Judge Giffin of the circuit court fol-
lowed Judge Jelke and testified:
"Mr. Cox sent for me and said:
at wish you could see your way
clear in reversing this case because the
Lane & Bodley company is large con-
Germ and unless a compromise is eff
fected they may be compelled to go into
bankruptcy
"I told Mr.. Cox the case would go on
trial.
Cox did not tell me to find some
way to reverse it. He wanted to know
If I could find my way clear. 1 re-
member the case was settled about the
day I returned from the south, but I
took no part in it and do not know now
what the amount was"
Judge Peter F. Swing of the circuit
court testified that he remembered the
case against the Lane & Bodley COM
pany and the American Bonding COM
pany. He said
ST do not remember where it oc-

Mr.. Cox about the case.

Esyr Contradict, Deny q oppsas
Eex, E0r Even Tel the Truth
and All VIII De Well.

A great many persons have sug-
gested methods a. to the best way
to manage a husband, but II Ii re
NAMED for a Eureka, Kan, man to
reduce to writing q set Of rules for
the successful management Of 8
wife, The following rules were
compiled by a business man who
claims to have followed them to
the letter during the last year and
says they have neTer been found at
fault in single instance during
that time:
Never contradict her. You are
right, Of course, nine times out OF
ten, and she knows il, but to tell
her so makes her always unman-
ageable.
Never oppose her. When she
suggests that in the absence of the
cook you get up and light the tire
do so at once, willingly and cheer
fully. II she wishes you to walk
the floor with the baby obey with
alacrity.
Never deny her. Possibly she
may exceed her allowance, but this
h always your fault, because you
are not man enough to supply
her.
Never be cross When you come
home at night. having failed once
or twice during the day or been in
suited by a total stranger, or with
. large, powerful pain in your
stomach, laugh it of and conceal
your real feelings.
Never tell her the truth. When
she asks you how you like her new
hat or cloak swear that you think
II is the greatest thing for the
money you ever saw. When she
shows you her new gown be lost in
admiration. When she IL cross
and irritable tell her she IL an an
gel
Never disagree with her. When
she suggests that you have a cold
and need a hot mustard plaster
grin and bear IT. When she tells
you she needs change tell her
you are glad abe mentioned it.
Never interrupt her.
This 10 the only way to manage q
wife.
