Correspondence in Near

Contrary to expectation Building In
spector Ashford did not today make
public the correspondence which passed
between him and the Rittenhouse Broth
ers, Of Baltimore.
Mr. Ashford said Saturday that ne
would furnish copies OF this correspond
ence to the press and would thereby
Yindicate himself Of charges that he
employed his official position to further
his personal interests in a fire-escape.
Mr.. Ashford said today that copies OF
the correspondence are being made as
rapidly as possible and would be given
out within the next few days.

fire-escape regulations for the specific
purpose OF aiding Mr.. Ashford. But we
did say. and say again, that the Gus

LODGE SEES A WAY OUT.
Asks for inquiry Into Facts, but Thinks
Senate Gan Settle Law Points
IN Brownsville Case

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. T.
Senator Lodge in the Senate today made
a ringing defense for the Presidents dis
missal of negro troops in the Browns
vile case.
He said question of fact, and one of
laws is involved and they ought to be
separated. The facts of the riot and re-
suits seem clear. Under his new resolu-
ton a Senate committee is to investi-
gate the case and take testimony on in
nocence or guilt of all concerned.
The question of law is whether the
President has the power to dismiss the
troops, said Mr.. Lodge, and can be set
tied at once without regard for the COM
mittee's decision. He then argued that
the President did not exceed his power.
as the men We're not "dishOnorabIy dis
charged" but We're discharged without
honor" In closing he said that the
power to dismiss or terminate the con-
tract of enlistment is absolutely essen
tiaI to the maintenance of an army. In
fact, the principle runs through all bust
ness and society"

Big Crash of 0verhanging
Hill

BINGEN, Jan. 5.-Forty workmen
were buried yesterday evening in the
cutting of new railway line between
Lamschied and Leiningen.
The dead bodies of thirteen of tue men
and fifteen injured workmen have been
recovered.
An embankment had collapsed, bury
ing two men. To rescue them large
parties Of other laborers employed along
the line were Immediately set to work,
and 4 wide pit was dug in which We're
about fifty men. Then the overhanging
hill side fell. burying forty of the labor
ers under masses of earth.
Those who We're not buried began to
dig out their comrades, while messen-
gers were sent to nearby villages ask
ing for help. Several physicians and a
large force of workmen We're sent from
Bophard, and other towns.
The rescue work, which was continued
throughout the night was dangerous,
owing to the possibility of fresh masses
of earth falling on the laborers.
Most of the workmen killed We're
young men. Among the injured are
three children. 1t is probable that there
are still fifteen bodies beneath the fallen
earth.

MRS. EDDY DEFENDS SELF
Reveals Incidents in Her Past in Reply

Story Is Laid Bare

CONCORD. n. H., Jan. 5.-AIrs.
Mary Baker q. Eddy, head of the Chris
tan Science church, Friday night gave
out for publication signed statement
revealing for the first time many Incl
dents i'll her life. Her motive is to prove
that she has nothing in her life she wish
es to conceal. incidentally she takes
pains to point out inaccuracies III the
article concerning her i'll McClurc's Ma
gazine.
She denies that any of her family
died of cancer, she asserts that she was
made exemplary to other children as to
her disposition and temper; that she lost
a good houSekeeper by insisting on har-
boring a blind girl. Regarding her first
marriage and the death OF her first hus-
band, Mrs. Eddy says:

says.
