SCORES Of MINERS
MEET DEATH

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. %
With a detOnatiOn heard miles away
and hurIInE debris hundreds of feet into
the air, dust IN the Stuart mine, nenr
Fayetteville. exploded this afternoon.
Eighty or more men who were at work
800 feet below the surface perished. 1t
is believed that the terrific force of the
explosion Snuffed out their lives In
stantIy. IL will not be possible for
rescuers 10 reach the bottom of the
shaft within fOrty-eight hours.
The disaster was the worst, in the
number OF the killed, in the history of
this State. Most of the men were
Americans and many of them were
married and had large families. There
were a dozen or more colored men and
about twenty aliens among the vic
Tins.
The rescue work was begun as soon
as the shafthouse could be repaired.
About two hours after the explosion
three men were lowered into the shaft in
an improvised bucket. Before descend
ing sixty-two feet two were overcome
and the other was barely able to give
the signal TO hoist. Further attempts
were abandoned. Air was supplied
by large fans, but the mechanism was
damaged and the fans were idle for
two hours. The fans have been started
again and If any of the entombed men
survive they may have air enough un-
til the rescuers reach them.
The Stuart mine has only one open
ing. although an entry has been driven
to connect with a parallel mine a short
distance away The shaft has three
compartments, two for the cages and
one for air Smoke and dust poured
into the airshaft for hundreds of feet
from the elevatinsa accompaniment and it
was wrecked.

JAPANESE At WAR;
ONE IS DEAD

Two Japanese, NJ Weoka and H.
Teragama. were found at 1:15 o'clock
this morning weltering in their own
blood in the gutter at the corner OF
Laguna and Sutter streets, Weoka with
his throat cut and Teragama with a
gaping wound in his back
The men had been attacked by four
Japanese, unknown to them, Teragama
claimed. The police believe the demon
stration is the outbreak among the
Japanese of a war similar to the tong
wars of Chinatown.
Weoka conducts a housekeeping eS-
tablishment at Polk and Sutter streets.
Terra gama arrived here yesterday from
Eureka. Weoka died at 1880 and Terra

Now. strong drugs weaken the
stomach so that 1t cannot generate
enough of this force, and a weak
ening of the hearts action results.
The reason any organ fails to do
its work is because ii lacks
strength. If there was any nour-
fshment in drugs they might bring
about a healthy change, but you
know there is not. Drugs are
drugs stimulants, narcotics. anti
dotes, poisons, not food. Food Is
needed to build up new strength.
Electricity is nerve food-nerve
life. It soaks into your nerves and
vitals just like water soaks into a

the parts which drugs cannot reach.
Electro -Vigor Is a relief from the
old system of drugging. 1t does by
natural means what you expect

MISS MURRAY WAS WARNED

Miss Murray had evidently been
warned that there would be trouble.
Earlier in the day she went TO the
bond and warrant clerks office TO have
Mrs. Marsh placed under bond TO keep
the peace. The clerk was preparing
the bond when the women met and
the shooting occurred.
Miss Murray declares that she did
not go between husband and wife. She
says that there is a suit for divorce
pending before Judge Hart in Sacra-
mento, brought by Mrs. Marsh. and
vigorously disclaims responsibility for
the estrangement OF the couple.
I knew Mr.. Marsh when ] was
little girl, and ] never interfered with
his married happiness" she explained.
II will make Mrs Marsh suffer for
this" she added bitterly.
After temporary treatment at the

Carr was taken to the French Hos

THE VETO POWER

In the great little state of Rhode Is
land-great in manufactures, wealth,
education and several other good things
but little in acreage-there has just
been started an agitation for an amend.
ment to the state constitution, confer
ring the veto power on the governor.
The man who has "set this ball in mo-
ton" is Mr.. Utter, the Republican who
ritered from the gubernatorial chair at
the beginning of this year and was sue
ceeded by Gov. Higgins, Democrat.
Gov. Utter's term was served with a
legislature controlled by his own party.
Gov Higgins has a Legislature ION his
hands" that is not in control of his
party. OF course, he has a more un-
pleasant situation that that of his pre-
decessor. But Gov. Utter, as the Pro-
violence Journal puts 1t, found himself
constantly hampered by the unwise
limitations placed upon his actions. "
The Journal adds: 1.-THE former COVER
nor well says that the veto power is
needed as a brake upon injudicious
legislation. Rhode Island should nc
longer lag behind in making the execu-
tive department real factor in its
government. The Republican poll
ticians make a mistake If they think
the demand for the veto power comes
from Democrats only" Experience has
demonstrated the utility of, IL not the
! necessity for, the veto power in the ma
tlonal government and experience has
not demonstrated that 1t is an un-
wholesome feature of states govern
ment. OF course, it is anti-Democratic;
1t is almost kingly. Indeed, no English
sovereign has venture6 to resort to il
for more than eighty years, although ii

presidents have been as free and handy

-CorFIN NAIL" HABIT

An incident occurred in Detroit last
Wednesday that should be impressed
upon the memory Of every boy partiou-
larly and every parent generally. 1t
was the funeral of a boy of 16 years
who died, as physicians declared, from
the excessive use of cigarettes.
Witness the scene around that coffin
as drawn from the meager newspaper
reports. =, dozen of the dead boys
companions were grouped there, gaz-
ing upon the exposed face in the coffin.
In response to the last request of the
dead boy his younger brother, only 10
years old, sobbed out this statement:
"Herbie said to me just before he died,
Frank, want you to promise me you
will never smoke another cigarette and
that you'll ask the other boys to quit,
and I promised"
The effect. as might be imagined,
was as If the closed eyes in the coffin
had opened and the closed mouth had
spoken. The dispatch says, Terror
was written on the face of every boy
present" They were all addicted to
the deadly cigarette habit and they
saw their own doom reflected in the
face OF their dead comrade.
The impression made upon the boys
by that grewsome experience may be
imagined from the statement that
most of them subsequently went for
advice to the physician who made the
autopsy on the cigarette victim. They
were cheered by the assurance that if
they Immediately and forever stopped
the "coffln nail habit" there was yet
time for their safety from the awful
fate of their friend.
Think of the millions Of American
youth who are gathering coffin nails"
as these Detroit boys were doing. A
group OF such boys anywhere, here in
Los Angeles for instance, would be
terror stricken by such an experience
as the one here related. And the seri-
GUS question for every boy cigarette
smoker to ponder is this: Shall keep
on gathering coffin nails until the
time when companions assemble
around my bier and gaze upon the face
of another victim of the deadly habit?
Thousands of Los Angeles boys, many
of tender years, are breaking down
their health and paving the way to pre-
mature graves by the coffin nail''
route
