ies by the force Of the explosion.
An official report says the number
Of dead cannot exceed 100.
Immediately after the explosion res.
cue workers were hurried from all
the adjacent mines and boldly entered
he Reden shaft In great numbers,
The work OF rescue has been greatly
hampered by the poisonous gases re.
sulting from the explosion and by q
fierce fire that broke out Immediately
afterward. This caused efforts at res
cue to be suspended, and the workers
had to be ordered out Of the mine.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight. according to one version, a
second terrific detonation was heard
underground. But according to an.
other report many Of the rescuers
were still below when the second ex.
plosion occurred, and Il is estimated
that the casualty list from the two OK.
plosions reaches a total OF 300 men
II Is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mine are com.
pletely wrecked, and the inspectors
are celebrating upon further meas
uies to get controi OF the fire. The
managers are discussing the advisa
bihty Of flooding these levels az the
only means Of extinguishing the
flames. II Is believed that all the men
who were In the lower levels assured

The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-08-22

Readers of this column were prepared to find President
Roosevelts Provncetown speech exactly a s it turned out to be.
No vindictveness, but firm and impartial enforcement of the
law is the keynote of it. That is precisely what the heretofore
privileged lawbreakers don't want. The situation as President
to him:
"The Sherman law was a tremendous triumph for public
opinion, but it remained dead until MI. Roosevelt quickened it
into life. Mr.. Cleveland regarded it with indifference; Nj. O1ney,
his Attorney General, treated it with open contempt. Then came
Mr.. Mckinley, with Mark Hanna brazenly selling to corpora
tons the privilege of violating the law in exchange for CAM
paign contributions. There is no more shameful chapter in
American history"
President Roosevelt introduced a new policy. He gave orders
to have the law enforced. The lawbreakers chuckled, told each
other that it was only a grand-stand play, and, of course, had
no serious purpose behind it. When they awoke to a realization
of the fact that the President was in earnest, that he meant to
keep his oath of office and make good on his promises to the
people, they became speechless with rage. Since recovering the
use of their vocal organs they have emitted one continuous
STREAM of hysterical abuse and denunciation. They have, as the
President says, tried to bring about a panic so as to scare the
people into repudiatng Roosevelts policies and compelling a halt
Their unceasing cry of wolf Wolf . has already frightened
|imid people. Many investors are boarding their money, banks
are chary about extending the necessary accommodations and
credits and securities of the highest value end no purchasers.
If these lawbreakGs and their affiliated interests can keep this
up long enough they hope to break down the popular support,
without which the President would be helpless.
Can they succeed Is it possible that the American people
will allow themselves to be coerced into announcing to the rest
|cf manEipd that we have suspended the commandment Thou
Ishalt Not steali" in.

MONEY DEAR EVERYWHERE.

Money is just as lear in the money
centres of Europe as in New York.
The Bank of France has put up it's
discount rate to the highest point in
six years. The Bank of England has
raised its discount rate to 6 per cent,
which is almost unprecedented. In
Germany the discount rate is 5h per
cent. All government bonds in Europe
are at the lowest prices, and British
consols are lower than in the past
sixty years. Japan could not float a
loan in London at 5 per cent. except
at a large discount. The same causes
that are operating in this country to
make money dear and depress the
prices of securities exist the world over.
But in this country there is also an
unprecedented use of money in gem
eral business and in Investments in
land. A vast amount of none has
been put into suburban real estate in
and around New York alone. Most OF
our manufacturers have enlarged their
facilities and are using more capital
than formerly. They have no idle sur
plus to put into stock or bond invest
ment Then, again, the INSCRIPTIONS
manipulation of stocks by the big
Safeguarding combinations in Wall
street have had their natural effect in
soaring away the buying public. There
are few lambs to be sheared nowadays,
and if the financial wolves rend each
other, who cares?
