Ry Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BINGEN, Hesse, Jan. 5.-Forty work.
men were buried yesterday evening in
the cutting of new railroad between
Lamscheid and Liningen. The dead
bodies of thirteen of the men and fif-
teen injured workmen have been recoV-
cred.
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 a wide pit was dug in which were
about fifty men, when the overhanging
hillside fell, burying forty of the lab
orers under masses of earth.
Those who were 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 were sent to
the scene of the disaster.
The rescue work, which was con-
tinued throughout the night, was dam
gerous owing to the possibility of fresh
masses of earth falling on the laborers.
Most of the workmen killed were
young men.
Among the injured are three children.
1t is probable that there are still fif-
teen bodies beneath the fallen earth.

MAY
ENTER POLITICS
German Political Situation Is Con-
fused, but Belief Is Composition
of Reichstag Will Not
Be Changed

BERLIN, Jan. 5.--The parliamentary
campaign with the consequent discus
sion of internal questions altogether oc-
cupies public attention.
The situation is so confused that for
eign observers resident in Berlin have
scarcely the right to form definite
personal opinion.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press applied today TO one of the five
members of the committee of the Con-
servative party for an estimate of the
probable result of the elections.
He said that the committee from some
thousand reports received from election
districts believed the Center party
would lose a few seats, especially in
the second election district, where no
candidate gets a majority on the first
ballot.
The committee did not expect the
Conservatives or Liberals to get the
seats which may be thus lost by the
Center party; they probably would be
captured by the Socialists, so that with
the exception of the transfer of the
few Center party seats, which will go
to the Socialists, the new reichstag,
generally speaking, will not be much
different in composition from the last.
A development that may have deep
influence on the future is the movement
to organize the Protestant church into
q political party so as to counterbal-
ance the Center or clerical party.
While opposed to permanent political
activity the Protestant league advo-
Gates political union in order to elimi-
nate Catholic influence from German
affairs.
Oddly enough, members of the en-
perors encourage are talking of a plan
to partly separate the Prussian gov
ernment from the Lutheran state
church as part of the movement to as
sist the Protestants to organize
against the Catholics.
Under the existing state of affairs
the emperor bishop of the Prussian
church rules through his lieutenant,
the minister of public worship, and the
provincial consistories.
The idea is that the church in future
be allowed to manage itself, receiving
in the same manner as the catholic
church proportional share of the
taxes assessed for the support of re-
ligion.

JEALOUS LOVERS
FIGHT BATTLE TO
DEATH ON ROOF
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Half
stunned by a glancing blow from
a blackjack Adolph johnson, a
fish and cheese peddler, struggled
in the blackness of an unlighted
barn last night with a desperate
highwayman, grasping, striking,
reaching for a weapon, only to
succumb finally to the murderous
attack, bleeding to death with
four different stab wounds about
the head and neck.
The police detailed every pos
sible man to the case, summoned
every possible witness for a close
examination and arrested four
men of "hobo" characteristics
who were lettering in the neigh
borhood, but thus far they have
failed to find the murderer.
The police for several hours
were convinced that the theory
of robbery was the only one fit
ting the evidence. The theory
was dropped because of the find
ing of $50 in the dead mans
pockets and because of the units
ual viciousness of the attack.
A circumstance that strength
ened their belief that there was
another motive than that of rob-
berry was the discovery in his
trunk of letter written on New
Theater stationery and signed
"Rose."
The writer chided Johnson for
having failed to keep an engage
ment with her and appointing an
other meeting "at the same place
Thursday" 1t was dated No
vember Is, 1906.
With this as possible clew the
police became convinced that the
murder was an act of jealousy on
the part of another admirer Of
"Rose."

these two probably will die
The outrage was seemingly directe5
against the proprietor of a fruit store

two dangerously injured.
The other was Mary Bailey, 40 years

three seriously wounded senseless in tbe
midst of mashed fruit, broken glass
and splintered wood and bleeding
from many wounds. Windows in

Ciniluca later was unable to talk, but
from Italians living in the section il

VINO said that they saw the object which

From the condition of some of the
WINDOWS in the neighborhood, which

were iron filings or nails in the bomb
as welt as small shot and a high ex-
plosive.
Five Italians were seen in the vicinity
prior to the explosion, and the police
sent out an alarm for their arrest.
