EXPLOSION Of FIRE DAMP
COAL MINE IN PRUSSIA THE
SCENE OF TERRIBLE
CATASTROPHE.

Saarbrueck. Prussia Jan 30. - A
fire-damp explosion occurred yester'
day morning in the Reden coal mine
al ST. Johann-on-S Saar, opposite Saar-
brueck. and caused the loss Of from
$50 to 200 lives. The Reden mine is
owned by the Prussian governemnt.
Seventy-seven bodies have been
brought to the surface and fifty-six
corpses are known to be still under
ground. Only fifty live men, up to the
present time, have been brought o"
and of these the doctors say at lee
thirtv-fve surely will die. as they are
frightfully injured through having
been hurled against the walls of the
galleries by the force of the explosion.
An official report says the number
OF dead cannot exceed 16O
Rescuers Driven Out.
The work of rescue has been great
ly hampered by the poisonous gases
resulting from the explosion and bv a
fierce fire that broke out Immediately
afterwards. During the afternoon
the efforts at rescue had to be sus-
pended for these reasons, and the res
cue workers had to be ordered out OF
the mine.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight. according to one version, a
second terrific detonation was heard
underground. But according to an
other report many OF the rescuers
were still below when the second eS-
plosion occurred, and it is estimate
that the casualty list from the two ex-
plosions reaches total of 800 men.
1t is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mine are COM
pletely wrecked.
Mine Disaster in France.
Lens, France, Jan. 30.-A terrible

COURTS TO PASS ON RATES.
Railroads Get an Injunction Against
Proposed Commodity Rates,

Railroads Get an injunction Against
Proposed Commodity Rates.
st. Paul, Jan. 26.-The ten railroads
operating in Minnesota secured at
noon yesterday from Judge Lochren.
in the United States circuit court, a
temporary Injunction restraining the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission from enforcing the sched-
ule of commodity rates which the
commission ordered some time ago to
become effective yesterday.
1t is contended that the order of the
commission is an interference with in
terstate commerce. The effect of the
order they aver, would be to make
rates lower in Minnesota than in ad-
joining states. The consequence would
work a discrimination in interstate
commerce, which would be unconsti
tutional.
1t is contended that the proposed
rates are confiscatory, and therefore
repugnant to the Federal Constitution.
Want to Help Him Fight.
st. Paul, Jan. q. - The Minnesota
Shippers and Receivers association
will petition the federal court to inter-
vene in the Injunction suit Of the rail-
roads to test the reasonableness OF
the reduction in commodity rates in
Minnesota The Minnesota railroad
commissioners are defendants in this
case, and the burden is on them to
show that the reduction they ordered
is not confiscatory. At meeting OF
the shippers association last night it
was decided that it's attorneys should
try to have the association made
party to the case.
II it is permitted to intervene it is
the intention to bring before the fed
eral court all the line of evidence
which was not received by the rail-
road commission, including the ques-
tions to be asked of President J. j.
Hill and other railroad officials about
campaign contributions.

Soldiers Funeral Held Over Body Of
Late United States Senator

Detroit, Jan 30.-It was distinctly
a soldiers funeral that was held yes
terdav over the body of the late Unit
ed States Senator Russell A. Alger,
who died suddenly last Thursday in

present from congress and the state
legislature, with the State OF Mich
igan and the city of Detroit fully rep
resented.
Upon the flag which covered the
coffin, as it was borne from his late
home to the hearse, was laid the little
old worn Bible that Gen. Alger had
carried through the Civil war; At the
mausOleum, senators, clergy and
friends stepped aside to accord to the
deceased soldiers comrades OF the
Civil war the honor of saying the last
words Of respect and affection in the
committal ritual Of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
The funeral services were held at 2
o'clock at the dead senator's home.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM.
MISSION REPORTS RESULT
OF INQUIRY.
MOST TERRIFIC ARRAIGNMtN1
EVERY CONCEIVABLE CORPORATE
CRIME is CHARGED AGAINST
TRUST.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The most ter
rife arraignment of the Standard Oil
company yet made by either private OF
public investigator was that filed with
congress yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission.
Every conceivable corporate crime
from discrimination and false pre-
lenses to bribery, corruption of the
press and debauchery of public Off
cials. is contained in the catalogue OF
charges
Describes Methods.
With wealth of detail it describes
the various methods employed by the
Rockefeller combine to crush competi.
ton.
Some of these methods are outlined
by the commission as follows:
''The Standard has sold different
grades of oil at different prices from
the same barrel.
"1t has paid employees of independ-
ent oil companies for information as
to the business of those competitors,
and has paid employees of industrial
companies to secure the adoption OF
its oil in preference to that of it's com
petitors
OIL Is Traced.
1T has followed every barrel of in
dependent oil to it's destination It's
agents are instructed to secure Gus
toners at any sacrifice.
1T has tampered with the oil in
spectors in different states.
"The Standard has repeatedly, after
becoming the owner of competing
company, continued to operate it un-
der the old name. carrying the idea to
the public that the company was still
Independent and competing with the
Standard.
Operates "Fake" Concerns.
"The operation of such fake inde.
pendent concerns has been one of it's
most effective means of destroying
competition.
"The Standard has habitually re-
duced the price against its competitors
in a particular locality while main
tanning it's prices at other places.
When competition was destroyed, 1t
restored or advanced former prices.
'sIt is the opinion of the commission
that existing law is inadequate to cope
with the evils complained of.
U. S. Must Take Action.
"It may become necessary" says
the report, for the uprooting of es-
tablished wrongs and the prevention
of others, that the government shall
fix in the first instance the rates and
regulations for the transportation OF
oil.
1T will probably be found necessary
to disassociate, in the case of oil, as
in that of other commodities, the func-
ton of transportation from that OF
production and transportation.
The investigation by the commission
failed to disclose any instance where
a railway company has been interest
ed directly in oil lands or in petroleum
production

.sWtTENHAM HAS RESIGNED
JAMAicA's GOVERNOR TO STEP
tOUT AS RESULT OF AFFRONT
TO DAVIS.

London, Jan. 27-There is good rea-
son to believe that Gov. Swettenham
of Jamaica has forwarded his resigna-
ton to the colonial Office.
The officials say they are not pre-
pared either to confirm or deny the re-
port, but they admit having received
kilograms OF confidential character
from the governor.
1t has been fully expected here that
a solution of the difficulty would be
found in Swettenham's resignation.
1t was freely stated in the colonial
and other government Offices that 1t
was quite impossible for Swettenham
to continue in office, not only because

theme for discussion at conference
held at the White House between the
president and Secretary of State Root.
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
also participated in the conference,
which continued until midnight. 1t
was admitted that the Kingston cpl
sode was discussed, but none of the
persons present would give any infor-
nation to newspaper men.
