to avoid the fate of its three prede-
cessors the workmen's council has
formally disbanded and has published
an announcement that it will not re.

TWENTY SIX =
ARE KILLED
Disastrous Explosion of Gas Occurs in a
Colliery at Hope Hill, West
Virginia.
HAD LITTLE EXPERIENCE in MINING

Charleston, W. Va, Feb. 10.-TWen
ty-siX men met death in a mine explo
sion in the Parallel mine of the Stew
art Coal company at Hope Hill. Thir
ty-six men were employed in the mine
and only ten have escaped alive. Six
bodies have been recovered near the
mouth of the mine and it is certain
that all the others in the mine are
dead
The explosion is said to have been
caused by the ignition of gas in the
western portion of the mine, which is
badly wrecked.
Most of the miners caught in the
mine are Hungarians or negroes who
had little experience in mining. They
were not expecting the pocket of gas
which is nearly always discovered in
mine faults in the Kanawha region.

VERDICT SET ASIDE
Italians Discharged by Judge Helms.
Text Of His Decision in Reviewing the Suit.
Circuit Court Pierce County State of Wisconsin, Plaintiff

does not claim that after they were
disarmed the defendants struck either
of them until after Isaac drew his
revolver.
Furthermore, it does not appear
that Isaac or Hamill notified defend
ants that they gave up the fight, or
that they intended no further to mo-
lest them. Neither by word nor
gesture, except by walking towards
Prescott, did they suggest these
things to the defendants, nor warn
them to desist from following.
They did not call upon the by-stand-
ers for assistance, nor turn and flee
as they might have done. And it
appears that Hamill, even after the
defendants were angered by the
shots from Isaac, escaped from the
alleged fury of the crew without
serious injury, although he stood by
the side of Isaac at the time that
Isaac was struck down.
The states witnesses differ as to
what Isaac said when he drew his
revolver. Whatever it was, it does
not appear that any appreciate
space of time interviewed after the
making of the statement and the
firing of the shots. In such state of
the case these defendants must be dis
charged. Even had the Italians
been punching or striking Isaac
with their shovels while following
him up the railroad track, and it ap-
peared to the reasonable apprehen-
sion of Isaac that their only purpose
was to commit an assault and bat
terry upon him, he would not, being
the original aggressor, have been
warranted in killing his assailants.
If he wished to avoid the injury thus
being inflicted, he was bound to fly
and was not justified to turn and
shoot.
There is another feature of the
states testimony that I should men,
ton. This relates to what occurred
after the shooting. Some of the
witnesses for the prosecution testified
that after the shots were fired all the
defendants struck HE deceased. One
witness pointed out III court ~ diff
ferent men whom he saw strike
Isaac with their weapons, the jack
handle or shovels. The testimony
of these witnesses tended to leave
the impression that after Isaac fired
the shots, the defendants and per-
haps others of the crew, attacked

him in furious manner and all en-.
gagged in beating him with their
shovels and other weapons.
The disputable physical facts in
dictate the improbability of this testi-
mony. There were no wounds on
Isaac's body save upon the right
side of the skull. There was no cut
wound except one upon the top OF
the head on the right side. Isaac
was lightly dressed, having on his
upper parts only shirt and vest. Yet
there were only four bruises on his
body, two on the left arm; one in
the region of his heart, and one in
the small of his back; and these
not serious. There is no testimony
that his ears, forehead, face, neck or
shoulders were either cut or bruised
in any manner. 1t seems impos-
sible that Isaac was set upon and
beaten by nineteen of the defendants
in the furious and precipitate man
ner described by the witnesses and,
as argued to the jury, and no more
extensive injury inflicted.
The defendants, Siragusa and
Demma, did not deny having struck
Isaac and the discussion of occur
rences after the shooting does not
bear directly upon their case, except
that it illustrates the temper and
purpose Of the Italian crew before
and up to the time the shots were
fired.
The defendants gave quite a diff
ferent version of the difficulty from
that given by the states witnesses,

NEAR A COLLISION
WITH RACING CREW

During the practice of the college
crews last evening there came near
being a collision between the Penn
sylvania varsity crew and the launch
Omeomi, used by Andrew O'Dea 70,
coaching the Wisconsin crews.
The two Wisconsin Fights were out
for a practice row, O'Dea following in
his launch. The little craft is not
fast enough to keep up with the crews
for four miles at racing speed, al
though it does very well for coaching
for short stretches when the crew Is
simply rowing over the course for an
easy paddle, which Wisconsin did last
evening The result was that wheu
O'Dea reached the last mile he found
himself hard pressed by the Pennsyl
vania varsity, which was rowing in
the wake of his launch to avoid its
swell, the crew being sent on a time
row over the course,
O'Dea was at loss for moment
to know what to do, and then seeing
that the Pennsylvania coXswain was
keeping straight in his course he
swerved the launch quickly to the
right and the shell shot by, just miss
ing the stern of the launch.
Two men have been taken ont OF
the Wisconsin varsity boat, one is
Hine, No. Z. who strained a ligament
in his shoulder while rowing Monday
and is incapacitated for the race. The
other is Johnson, No. 2, whose seat
has been taken by Richter substi
