or credting him with the action of courts IN
cases before he came into office. and none has

Municipal Government.

The committee appointed by the Civic
Improvement league at its last meeting,
for the purposes of gathering informa-
ton as to the results of the new system
of municipal government in use IN Ger
tain eastern cities, is industriously at
work
The leading examples of cities where
the government is in the hands Of a COM
mission, instead of being vested in a
council and mayor, are Galveston Tex,
and Washington. ID. c., and from all that
can be learned the plan is an unqualified
the local committee will be TO obtain full
details of the plans of both these cities.
and from them work out plan utilizing
the best points of each. The results of
the work will be presented at the next
regular meeting of the league which
takes place a week from today. 1t is ex-
pected then that a general mass meeting
of citizens will be called and the decision
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of placing Salt Lake
on this basis left in their hands
A letter was received yesterday from a
member of the league to the effect that
the city of Ogden was watching with in
terest the development of the plans of
Salt Lake and that there was a welI-de-
fined feeling there that later the city
would decide on a similar form of gov
eminent for itself. The many points of
advantage and the great economy of the
new system are recommending them
selves more strongly every day, and
with this city as working example it is
believed by many that a majority of the
smaller outside towns throughout the
state would not be long in falling into
line.

Most of the Men Safe.

BY daylight signals had been ex-
changed with the bottom seam, where
a majority of the men were entombed,
to the effect that they were safe, and
with this message came a sense of great
relief. AS the morning advanced the
bodies of dead men were slowly
brought up. The first dead to appear
were mostly old men, who had been
employed as shutters and stonemen
Eighty men were brought out alive.
Many of these, however, We're in a
critical condition, being unconscious.
Later supplies of coffee and sandwiches
were passed into those still entombed.
At a late hour tonight, to the joy of
their relatives, four men We're brought
UP from the lower seam, where the
deaths had occurred. Those men had
been reckoned among the dead. AL
though they were much exhausted, they
probably will recover.
The shaft is still blocked with wreck
age, but the ventilation is good, and it
is hoped that all the entombed men
will be rescued during the night.

EXPLOSION IN COAL MINE
Latest Horror Near Durham, England
Victims, so far as Known,
Number Twenty-Five.

Durham, England, Oct. 15.-As a re-
suit of an explosion in the Wingate coli
liery, near here, at about midnight last
night. twenty-five miners were killed
and 200 are temporarily entombed. 1t
is fortunate that only a small portion
of the thousand men employed in the
mine were down when the explosions
took place. The cause is supposed tc
have been fire damp. The explosion
was one of terrible force, and in Win
gate town many windows were broken.
Soon after the news of the disast er
became known crowds of half-clad peo-
pie were rushing toward the mine, and
there were heartrending scenes. t.
first report represented the disaster to
be worse than subsequently was found
TO be the case.
