TWENTY MINERS KILLED.
A Terribly Fatal Explosion in Mine
Near Primero, Col.

Trinidad, Col. = Twenty miners
according to the most au
thoritative information available, lost
their lives as result of an explosion
which occurred early Wednesday in
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.'S mine
near Primero, 20 miles west of this
city.
Two Of the dead are Frank Hobart
miner, and r. j. Lumley, fire boss
The names of the other men killed
have not been learned, as the shift
boss who checked up the men who
went into the mine Tuesday night is
missing. All the men except Lumley
We're foreigners, most of them being
Italians. The explosion stopped the
air fan, which was not repaired until
late Wednesday and there is little
chance that any of the men in the
mine at the time of the explosion are
still alive.

SHONTS OUT.
Resigns as Chairman of
Canal Commission.
GETS BETTER JOB.
tie Has Been Elected President of
the lnterbOrOugh Co., GOtham's
Street Railway Combine.

Washington, ID. C.-The resigna-
ton of Theodore p Shonts, as chair.
man OF the isthmian canal commits
sion, was announced at the White
House Wednesday, having been ten
dered to the president and accepted
by him Tuesday, according to cores
pondence made public. 1t will take
effect not later than March 4. Mr..
Shonts having been elected president
OF the lnterborough-M metropolitan COM
pany, which controls the rapid transit
aud many surface lines in New York.
No announcement was made as to
who will succeed Mr.. Shonts as chair
man of the commission, but it was
learned authoritatively that headquar-
ters will be removed from Washing
ton to the iSthmuS and that a high
salaried chairman to serve in that ca
pacity alone will not be named. This
being admitted, it follows that John F.
Stevens, the engineer in charge of
the construction of the canal, would
not be made subordinate to another
official on the isthmus. Without def
mite announcement, therefore, it is re-
garded as q certainty that Mr.
Stevens will be named as chairman
of the commission and will assume
duties as such in connection with his
post as chief engineer
Mr.. Shonts' retirement does not
come wholly as surprise. 1t has
been rumored that as soon as action
had been taken upon the proposition
to build the canal by contract, that Mr.
Shonts would sever his connection
and resume calling more congenial
to his taste. Secretary Taft confirm.

ShOnts' resignation was voluntary.
