OHIO WOMAN
Asks for More Money at the National
Woman's Suffrage Convention.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 8.-The Ma
tional Woman's Suffrage association
held three sessions today and then
had enough energy left to attend a
reception given by Miss Mary Garrett
at her palatial house, where a number
of prominent Baltimore women met
Miss Susan B. Anthony, DIR. Anna
Howard Shaw and other distinguished
delegates.
A spirited discussion at the morn
ing session over Mrs. Elnora M
Babcock's report, recommended that
boycott of the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. because that publication had re-
fused to print replies to the article
against club women written by ex.
President Cleveland. The recon-
mendation was finally stricken out,
after which the report was adopted
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, of Ohio,
treasurer. in her report asked for
more money. With ample funds she
said, the women in half the states
could be enfranchised in as many
years. The receipts last year was
$28,333.

FORTY-E|CHT n
MINERS KILLED


Hinton, w. Va, Feb. S.-The worst
disaster in shaft mine in the his
tory of West Virginia resulted this
afternoon from an explosion in the
Parral mines, owned by the White
Oak Fuel company, in Fayette coun-
ty, when 45 miners were killed and
the entire mine badly damaged The
shaft of the mine is 420 feet deep.
and it has heretofore been known as
one of the safest of its kind.
Shortly after 4 o'clock this after
noon tremendous explosion was
heard and soon afterwards dense
smoke and flames began to issue from
the mouth of the shaft. The con
cussion was felt for a long distance
and rush was made by those living
in the vicinity, for the mouth of the
shaft and preparations at once set
on foot for rescue work.
The superintendent of the mine
tried to start the cage downward with
himself and the night foreman as
occupants but they found it impos-
sible and returned to the surface be.
fore the cage had been dropped mere
than 20 feet. A hurry call for expert
miners to aid in the work of rescue
was sent to the surrounding mines
and picked up men, who know all
about mining, are now in readiness to
attempt to penetrate the underground
workings and bring out the bodies OF
the dead and rescue any that may
have escaped the force of the explo.
sion.
AT o'clock an attempt was made
to lower the cage again and it got
down 200 feet when the signal was
given to hurriedly raise it which was
done. The occupants reported that
the heat was unbearable and that
they had found it impossible to &c
any further. Noxious gases are still
arising and fears are entertained
that another explosion may follow.
1t has been ascertained that the
entire bottom of the shaft is a com
| plete wreck and no hopes are enter
tanned for the safety of the As miners
who are imprisoned below the earth's
surface.
The scenes about the mouth of the
mine duplicate in indiscribable horror
those of any mining community where
disaster of this character takes
place. Women and children, whose
| relatives are missing, stand about
weeping and hoping against hope that
their loved ones may have escaped
and may yet be rescued. Immense
bonfires of hard wood have been built
to give light and heat to the anxious
miners who are waiting for condi
tions to clear sufficiently to permit q
rescue party penetrating to the bot
tom of the shaft and thence into the
workings of the mine.
The mine is located in an almost in
accessible part of Fayette county, ten
miles from the main line of the
| Chesapeake & Ohio railroad.

MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Feb. S.--BuSiness in the
wheat pit was active most of the time
today but it was radically different in
character in the end from it's style
at the beginning. Bulls had an in
ming in the forenoon and the bears
took the running of the market in
their own hands toward the close.
The wires were loaded with what to
many seemed excellent reasons for
buying, but the selling party has wax
ed fat and aggressive and ignored
everything but the lack of export bus
mess for American wheat and sold re-
gardless. The price at the close was
down IA cent Coarse grains were
heavy and IA cent lower and the only
successful bull party was to be found
in the provision pit.

Witness at Reed Smoot
Hearing Declares That
Their Teachings Are
Against the Govern
ment-Oaths Taken.
Threats to Ruin Business
Made by the Church.
Good Members Still
Practice Polygamy.
Yield Full Obedience.

Washington, Feb. S.-Henry w.
Lawrence, of Salt Lake City, In the
Reed Smoot hearing today declared
that when he was a member of the
Mormon church the general tendency
of it's teachings was disloyalty to the
national government and he believed
that was true today. Although he had
heard loyal sermons in the last few
years, he thought they were mostly
for effect. He said that obedience to
the priesthood was still necessary
polygamy still remained part of the
Mormon principles. No one could be a
good Mormon even at the present day
without believing in polygamy and
yielding full obedience IN all things
to the officers of the church according
to him.
Speaking of present conditions in
Utah, however, he said that the church
was much more liberal now than in
the old days At the time he left the
church, he claimed that his mercantile
business was ruined because his for
mer friends and customers dared not
enter his store. Since that time he
has become quite successful and pros
porous.
John p. Holngren, of Bear River
City, Utah, when a member of the
legislature, voted against the Evans
bill, prohibiting first wife from
testifying against her husband in po-
lygamy proceedings, and afterwards he
was defeated He said, however, that
he did not attribute his defeat to that
fact. He had taken an oath in the
> endowment house to 'avenge the
blood of John and. Hiram Smith"
Charles A. Smurthwaite, of Ogden,
Utah, told an instance which he al
legged showed how the Mormon church
attempts to control commercial bust
ness. He had assisted in organizing the
Beck Salt Works Company. President
Joseph F.. Smith, with a number of
other church officials, was interested
in the Inland Crystal Salt Company
and protested against the new COM
pany because 1t would be in opposi-
tion to their interests. An interview
was arranged at which President
Smith presided and at which he told
witness:
II don't know how much you are
worth, but we will ruin you"
Witness replied that he knew that
they had the power but he had no
more right to do so than witness had
to crush his child.
President Smith replied "But this
is business" and proceeded to declare
that the Beck Salt Works would not
be permitted to sell its product, eX-
cept in limited area.
After this interview one of the
bishops of the church told witness that
when President Joseph F. Smith went
into business 1t was just as though
God himself was in business, and that
1t was foolish for him, mere man,
to attempt to compete with him. Wit
ness replied that he did not consider
Smith fit to be a representative of
God Shortly afterwards, April 4,
1905, witness was communicated.
G. M. Owen, then submitted under
oath lists of members OF the consti-
tutional convention of the Utah legis-
1ature, of state officials, showing who
were Mormons and polygamists. The
committee then adjourned until 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning when the
prosecution expects to close.

Split Over the Name.

Dayton, o., Feb. S.-The union of

which caused any split whatever has
been the choice of a name for the

approval.
