 Important Ruling.

Greenwood Miss, Sept. 19.-In the trial of Grover and Karl Kirby, who are charged with the murder of James D. Money, nephew of United States Senator Money, Judge Montgomery has overruled an effort to introduce testimony concerning occurrences aft CT the killing which would tend to indicate a deliberate conspiracy to ac- complish it.

ELEVEN MEN ARE KILLED WHEN CAGE DROPS 75o FEET TO
 THE BOTTOM.
SEVEN FATALLY INJURED
The Brake on Hoisting Drum Refused to Work When Load of Human Freight Was Being
 Lowered.

Negaunee. Mich, Sept. 21.-By cage plunging 750 feet down the smart of the Jones & La1ghlin Steel Co.'S mine, II men were killed and seven fatally injured Friday. The cage with it's human freigLs was being lowered on its first trip of the day, when the brake on the hoistiag drum suddenly failed to hold Two other men sprang to the assistance of the one at the brake wheel, but their combined ef- forts did not avail and the wire caDle continued 10 unra5l from the drum like thread from a bobbin.
 The cage shot down a couple or hundred feet before kink in the too rapidly playing out cable caused 1t to part and from that point the cage had a sheer drop to the bottom of the shaft. The safety catches with which it was equipped falled to operate. The surging of the cable in it's mad flight tore out part of the side of the engine house and ripped out several Of the sheayes in and about the shafthouse.
 Bodies Lay in Pile.
 Workmen at the bottom of the mine immediately set about the task or re- moving the dead The bodies lay in one pile. a mass of lifeless flesh and blood. The bones of the bodies were so shattered that the men, when they fell, were piled on top of each other like so many pelts of leather. Seven men were found still alive. They are fatally hurt.
 Thousands of people soon congre- gated about the mine shaft In the crowd were the wives and children or the two hundred men who are em- ployed in the mine. Each thought that her husband or parent or son was in the cage. There was no way of relieving the suspense, as the fal- len cage blocked the exit.
 It was fully two hours before the cable was adjusted so that the cage could be raised to the surface. During all this time women, with babies in their arms, cried historically or faint ed.
 When all the miners came from un- der the ground and many anxious wives and others failed to find mem bers of their families who worked in the mine, the scene was pitiful. The priests and ministers moved among ging them to be calm.

GOVERNMENT TO PUT TRUST HEAD ON STAND TO TILL
 COMBINES SECRETS.
WILLIAMS TRIP UNEXPLAINED
Standard Oil Co.,, Notwithstanding Pledge, Furnishes No lnforma-
 tion-Promises Are But Disguise.

New York, Sept. 23-John D. Rock efeller, a gigantic Standard oil trust holder, will be forced to take the wit ness stand, and under oath diyulge certain secrets of the combination s history which he. better than any Of the others, is able to render accurate ly. Other leading figures in the trust who, 1t was expected, would escape the ordeal, also will be called to face Deputy Attorney General Frank B. Kellogg's formidable inQuisitorial bat tery.
 Those in charge of the governments case in the federal suit to dissolve Standard oil as corporation viola tor of the sherman antitrust law de- cided that the issuing of more sub penaes was necessary. Although MT. Kellogg would not tell who will be compelled to testify, the fact remains that the only men in possession of many much-sought secrets who have not been subpenaed are John D. Rock efeller, William Rockefeller, w. H. Flagler, Oliver H. Payne. John D. Archbold and H. H. Rogers.
 It is believed that, with the possible exception of William Rockefeller and IT. H. Rogers, all these men can be forced to appear in court. William Rockefeller suddenly disappeared from the city the other day, and Mr. Rogers is declared to be in no condi- ton to undergo examination.
 Williams Trip Unexplained.

Flagler was in Europe when the governments attorney sought him some time ago, but now 1t is under stood that he is within reach of the court. It also developed that, despite a statement made by Moritz Rosen- thai of the counsel for Standard Oil the company since the beginning of the governments action has not fur nished gratuitously one scrap of in formation. In court MT. Rosenthal gave out statement to the effect that from the start the corporation had withheld nothing. giving the gov ernment's investigators free access to all its books and papers.
