not to sign the scale. A number of
other members were unwavering as

HOTEL HORROR IN GERMANY
COLLAPSES WHILE FILLED
WITH JOYOUS GUESTS.
FIfty-Five Killed and One Hundred
Reported Dangerously
Injured,

Nagolg, Black Forest, Germany
April 6.-Fifty-iye persons were killed
and 100 dangerously injured, Thursday.
by the collapse of the Hotel Zum
Hirschen. The building had not bean
fully completed, and the catastrophe
is attributed TO the non-obserYance OF
proper precautions. The roof of the
building was only put in place Thurs
day morning, an event which, in ac-
cordance with German custom, was
celebrated with a feast. The guests were
reported to have engaged in a dance,
and this, together with the large num-,
Der of persons on the floor, probabl ;
was what caused the building to col
lapse.
Another Account.
Nagolg, Little Black Forest, Germany,
April 6.-The Hotel Zum Hirsch fell
during the progress of a festival din
ner. There were two hundred persons
present, most of whom were buriei in
the ruins. At ten o'clock Thursday
night SIS dead bodies had been rfcov-
cred, and about 100 injured were
taken from the ruins, many of them in
a serious condition. Twenty persons
still were missing and probably are
dead.
The accident Is attributed to careless
ness on the part of those who were
making repairs on the building, which
had been raised five feet from the
ground in order to give more space for
the lower story. The work began early
In the morning, and was supposed to
have been finished at noon. The keeper
Of the hotel invited the workmen and
a large number Of t~ownspeople to a
grand dinner. The company assembled
in the middle banquet room and was
drinking the health of the builder and
landlord when suddenly a crash was
heard above. A score of those in the
banquet room jumped from the win
dOws and doors in time to escape, when
the house came down.

Anthracite miners
WOULD ARBITRATE
MAKE THE PROPOSAL TO THE
OPERATORS, WHO MAY
NOT ACCEPT
Fence ia Gradually Settling Dowa In
the Soft COal Fields, and the Offer
Is Made TO Leave the Matter to
ArbitrBtIon-Say Mitchell Made
SkiIIful Move.

New York, April 7.-Haying failed to
come to an agreement among them
selves, the hard coal miners of Penn
sylyania, through their representatives,
proposed to the operators that all mat
teIs in dispute be referred to a board
Of arbitration for settlement, the trib-
1nal to be composed Of the board of
Cancellation, which was created by the
award Of the anthracite strike commits
sion in 1903, with Judge George Gray,
OF Delaware, or any person he may APP
point, as chairman and umpire. If the
operators accept the proposition and a
convention Of mine workers approves
the plan, the 1861 900 men now idle in
the anthracite fields will return to work
at once. While it has been reported
for several days that the miners might
ask that the difficulties be arbitrated,
the proposition made to the mine own-
erS, Thursday, came to them as a great
surprise, as they did not believe the
union leaders were ready to leave the
controversy TO a third party at this
time,
Operators May Not Accept.
That tho operators will accept the
miners proposal as submitted is not
generally believed; in fact, it is init
mated they may feel at liberty to re-
fuse the offer on the ground that the
existing conditions are the result Of ar
bitFation. The employers, however, de-
clded to consider the miners latest
move and promised to give MIR. Mitch
ell and his men an answer Monday,
when another meeting of the two sub
committees will be held in this city.

The Boycott In France,

Something Of n sensation was made
In May out Of the alleged hostile atti-
tude of the workingmen In France to-
ward the government. 1t appears from
IN article in the Paris Review writ
ten before the May day disturbances
that the organized laborers of France
are attending strictly to their knit
ting and leaving politics to politicians,
at least not mixing partisanshlp with
industrial affairs Says the Review:
The present labor movement in France
Is the logical outcome of the Lyons Fed
Grafton of Syudicates, or labor union, es-
tablished In 1886. Purely Industrial In It's
nature, one Of It's principles was that It's
adherents should eschcW all political
craftsmanship. Its main purpose was to
fight capitalism with three weapons
namely by boycott, by returning bad
pay with poor worG and by discrimination
against firms which exploit the laborer
In supplying him with the necessaries OF
life, practically 4 system OF boycott,
known as the syndicate label" This
union has nov come TO be known as the
General Association of Labor It's or.
gantzation Is Of tho most complete kind
and II possesses q paper called the Voice
of the People. II numbers 100000 mem,
bers spread over the whole of France
its treasury is we'll nllcl and it has 9
strike fund.
The first item on the programme OF
the unions in France is an eight houl
day for all labor everywhere, and they
still have that point to win.

Homemade Pure Food.

No doubt there Is much needless
products consumed throughout the
country in ever increasing quantities.
The use of food put up In packages Of
various kinds is little short of marvel
Gus. Canned goods stand behind all
the quick meals business in many no
tells and restaurants, some boarding
houses and not a few private establish
ments. People who formerly took the
trouble of preserving in some shape for
their own tables tried the markets and
found what appeared to be just as
good always at hand and comparative
ly cheap. The fact that scientists tell
us that we are a healthier people and
live longer than our forefathers ought
to encourage the notion that the facts
cited about the methods of packing and
preserving do not mean that we are
slowly dying of polsons introduced by
impure food. Aside from any danger
involved in hauling out the can opener
or decapitating n glass receptacle when
we want Il hasty meal, there Is the
matter of taste to be reckoned with.
We are nourlshed best by food we
relish most, and the idea Of uncertainty
as to what Is set before us under q
given label, where it came from and
who had the handling of it In the proc
ess, gives the appetite a twist that is
not agreeable or healthy. Having
learned how well all sorts Of things in
the meat, vegetable and fruit line will
keep, how to do them up and how ham
dy they are for emergencies, the best
way to meet the startling revelations
about impure food products Is to set
up making the real thing right at
home. Preserving and packing have
vastly improved In the last few years.
They are not secret processes or If sup
posed to be the truth has leaked out.
Home consumption may be taken care
of in this way and also trade estab-
lished with cities and towns for food

All the people will not be fooled all the
time by cheap prices and gaudy labels.
There will be a demand for canned

Swim For Your Life and Your Hea

Swim For Your Life and Your Health.
The long and narrowing chapter of
drowning accidents which is a part of
the outing seasons history opened ear
ly this year. Several lives were lost
In various parts of the country that
with q little presence of mind, coupled
with skill, might have been saved and
perhaps never put In serious jeopardy.
Most drowning accidents are due to
lack of early education. The victims
never learn to swim. Rescues are often
made by persons younger and not so
strong as the one In peril, and girls
sometimes appear as the heroines of
these exploits.
Swimming ought to be in the expert
ence of every boy and girl. 1t may
save the swimmers own life and also
the lives of others. Moreover, 1t Is q
healthy all around exercise. Muscles
are developed In swimming, skill and
presence of mind follow Its practice as
matter of course, and proper swim
ming means proper breathing. The
swimmer of few strokes can keep
atioat after falling overheard until 9th
er means of rescue can be had. And
swimming Is quicker learned than
playing ball
