couraging Building of Large,
Swift Steamship Lines
MUST EXTEND CARRYING TRADE
Roosevelt Declares Proposed Law !.
in No Sense Experimental, But
Based on Best and Most Successful
Precedents-state Aid to Steamship
Lines Part Of System.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The presi-
dent today sent a message to congress
calling attention to the great desirabili-
ty of the enactment of legislation to
help the American shipping trade by
encouraging the building and running
of lines Of great swift steamers to
South America and the orient. The
urgent need of our country making an
effort to do something like its share Of
has been called to his attention, the
president says in striking fashion by
his recent South American tour. Stale
aid to steamship lines, the president
says, is as much part Of the CONNER
cial system today as state employment
of consuls to promote business. The
president says that the proposed law
which has been discussed in congress,
is in no sense experimental. 1t Is based
on the best and most successful prece-
dents as, for instance, on the recent
Cunard contract with the British gov
ernment. The president discusses the
bill now before the committee, and
says: "It would surely be discreditabls
for us to surrender to our commercial
rivals, the great commerce of the
orient, the great commerce we should
have with South America, and even our
own communication with Hawaii. and
the Philippines"

TWENTY MINERS DIE
Explosion in Mine at Primero, COL,
Results in Death Of Worlsmen -
"Windy" Shot Causes Disaster.

Trinidad, Col, Jan. 23.-An explosion
occurred in the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company mine at Primero, early
today. Twenty miners are reported
killed. The explosion is supposed to
have been caused by windy shot.
Only one body had been recovered up
to noon.
Primero is twenty miles west of
Trinidad and is one of the most i'm
portant coal camps of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. The company
owns the only telegraph wire connect
ing with the camp and will allow no
news concerning the disaster to be sent
except to the companys office. The
Colorado Telephone Company has a
telephone wire to the camp but the
Primero office is in the fuel company's $
store and the employees are not per-
mitted to give out any information.
The mine has been caved in so far
that it has been impossible to gain en-
trance. All the dead are believed to
be foreigners.
