TWELVE FARMERS
COMPOSE JURY IN THE GREENE

The Governments Suit Will at Last

Not PreIudiced.

Savannah, Ca, Jan. ia jury of IL
farmers will pass upon the guilt OF, in

Col. John f. Gaynor, who are charged
by the United States government with
embezzlement. conspiracy and present

the Savannah harbor improvement. 1t
was with great difficulty that a jury
was secured. There was no adjourn

ued in session until O'clock tonight
when the twelfth juror was secured.
When court conYenes in the morning
the indictments will be read to the

it is expected that this will occupy
considerable time.
Despite the fact that Friday will be
Lees birthday, holiday in this city,
the trial will continue. The jurors are
kept prisoners ana will be constantly
in charge of special officials.
Considerable trouble was experienc-
ed in getting IL men as most of the
prospective jurors declared they were
prejudiced as result OF having read
newspaper accounts. In all of these
cases the defense objected to the juror
but the court held that If the prejud-
ices were not such as to preclude the
return of fair verdict after hearing
the evidence the juror was competent.
Several members of the panels said
that they thought that the defendants
would not have left the country if they
had been innocent.
The jury is composed largely of men
from the same towns of southwest
Georgia. About half of them said they
had formed an impression about the
case, but that they would render q
righteous verdict in accordance with
the law and the evidence.

brought forth an attack from Repub-
licans and Democrats. It was charac-
terized as vicious departure from the
governments method of selling lands.
Mr.. Reid, (Dem. Ark, favoring the
amendment said that Jack Gordon OF
Texas, acting for sportsmen who are
Incorporated, had been negotiating
with the Chickisaw and Choctaw
tribes for the land desired, a tract
about six by twenty-five miles in ex-
tent and the Indians by their councils
had favored the sale.
Mr.. Mann. tRep. ILL, and Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, (Dem. N. W, opposed the
amendment, the former expressing II
as his belief that instead of being de-
sired for a game preserve, 1t was want
ed as a gambling resort.
what sort of game will you find
there?' he asked with fine scorn.
The amendment was lost on a rising
vote 33 to 26.
Among the measures presented to
the house today was the Davey rail-
road rate bill expressing the views of
the minority upon this subject. The
bill goes further than the Republican
measures in dealing with this ques-
ton. A resolution by Mr.. Burton.
(Rep. Ohio), directs the international
commission created to fix the water
boundaries between the United States
and Canada to investigate and deter
mine upon all possible means to pre-
serve Niagara Falls in their natural
condition.
Another resolution was by Mr..
Weeks, (Rep. Mass), who wants a
congressional inquiry to determine if
the naval officers at Annapolis are llv-
ing up to their duties and enforcing
the laws.

70 ENTOMBED
IN A COAL MINE

Charleston, w. Va. Jan. 49,
AS the result of an explosion of fire
damp in the Paint Greek mines, 25
miles from here today, 20 miners were
entombed and 1t is feared all met
death. Searching parties are now
frantically trying to clear their way
through the demolished workings, in
order to reach the men, but owing to
the fact that smoke and gases still fill
most of the corridors, the work is de-
cidedly dangerous and necessarily
slow. One body that of G.. p Neal, a
mine foreman, has been recovered, but
it is not thought that the others will
be reached much before Friday noon.
The explosion was heard for many
miles and within fifteen minutes the
mouth of the shaft was surrounded by
miners and the women and children
of those working below. While the
inner workings were badly damaged,
the shaft house and machinery were
untouched and the fans were at once
set to work to clear the shaft, so that
a rescue party, which was at once or
ganized, could be used
The rescuers built brattices as they
worked their way down from the
mouth of the mine, but before they
had gone far they encountered huge
masses of coal. which had been dis
lodged and blocked the way Under
the first of these was found the body
of Neal, who was apparently running
away and knocked down by the force
of the explosion,
AS soon as news of the disaster
reach the adjacent mining towns, relief
parties were at once formed and pro-
ceeded to the devastated mine to aid
in the work of rescue. Those who pos
sibly survived the explosion are cut off
from every avenue of escape by the
debris piled up.
The first detachment of the rescu-
ing party entered the main drift at 5
o'clock this afternoon and up to the
present time it has been impossible to
ascertain the results of their work.
with the exception of the one body
found near the mouth of the mine.
The scenes about the main opening
are heartrending. Mothers, wives and
children, panic stricken with grief and
despair, are standing by in helpless
terror waiting for the bodies of their
loved ones, who are in all probability
buried beneath tons of slate and earth.
Everything possible is being done to
a. AZ. 4. ~ 4
those who may yet be alive.
A few days before the transfer was
made the mine was examined. by the
mine inspector. who reported that it
was in good condition

FAIRBANKS MACHINE
Gets Control of the Republican Or
ganizaton in Indiana.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1S.-James
p. Goodrich was chosen chairman of
the Republican State committee at the
meeting Thursday afternoon by vote
of to 4.
George t. Dinwiddie of Frankfort
was elected vice chairman and Frank
d. Stalnaker of indianapolis, treas
urer. The date for the state conven-
ton was set for either the first or Sec
ond week in April.
The appointment of Frank ID. Stall
maker was arranged to smooth over
some of the i'll feeling which was
aroused by the action of Senator Bey-
eridge in securing the appointment of
l.. G. Rothchild for collector of GUS
toms at indianapolis. That action has
opened gaping wound.
The result gives Fairbanks the con-
troll of the state party machine and
will enhance to a great extent his
chances for a solid delegation from
Indiana if he is an aspirant for pres
idential honors in 1908.

FAILURE TO WRITE
Letters of introduction to Girls Met
With Hazing az Annapolis.

Annapolis, Nd, Jan. 1S.-The re-
fusal of fourth class midshipman to
write him a letter of introduction to a
certain young lady in Annapolis and
the failure of others to guess certain
time put to them was declared to be
the cause for the hazing of six ''plebes"
by Chester A. A. Bloebaum of st.
Charles, Mo-, third class, whose trial
by courtmartial began here this after
noon. Before adjournment today the
prosecution had finished its case.
which is the strongest one that has yet
been before the court.
The testimony Of the witnesses de-
veloped the fact that hazing, as prac-
tised by Bloebaum, bordered on the
brutal.
Edgar N. Caldwell, Of Glasgow, KY,
said that he refused to write a letter
to girl for the accused. and as a re-
suit he was made TO lie on box and
do physical exercise until exhausted.
The other witnesses testified that they
had been hazed in different ways be-
cause they did not guess the exact time
OF day. Bloebaum's trial will be COM
pleted tomorrow morning.

THE MINERS
CONVENTION AT INDIANAPOLIS
PRocEEDiNc SLOWLY
The Scale Committee is Not Yet
Ready to Make Even a Par.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1S,--A lull In
the proceedings OF the miners conven-
ton was noticeable Thursday. II had
been expected that several of the Inn

nounced at Wednesday mornings ses-
sion would have advanced sufficiently
in their work to make at least partial
reports. but this was not the case.
The convention adjourned at noon.

The matter of the employment of
child labor in the mines came In for
the most vigorous discussion. The
resolution advised that the age limit
for employment of children in or about
mines in any capacity be raised from
II to 16 years and urged that the leg
islatures of the coal states be mem-
orialized by the mine workers organ

employment of children under the age
of is years.

pressed that the scale committee had
not progressed far enough in its work

tails of this question to be decided by

of the scale demands that are incor-

that the miners delegates have to face

There is but slight probability that
