JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 22.-
Representative w. j. Salts of Phelps
county was taken down with smallpox
while in his seat upon the floor of the
house today.
Much commotion occurred among the
other members.
The house this afternoon, after it's
hall had been fumigated, adjourned
until Monday. The senate voted to
work a few hours this afternoon and
adjourned to Tuesday.
Many boarding house keepers have re-
fused to allow Legislators to enter their
homes and Governor Folk offered the
use of his mansion to those who are
unable to obtain quarters elsewhere.
Representative Salts was in confer
ence with Governor Folk short time
this morning. The governor said:
Il noticed the pimples on Mr.. Salts
face but thought nothing of them at
the time. Possibly 1 shall have to get
vaccinated now, but do not feel at all
alarmed"
The governor was vaccinated about
three years ago, he said.

patch from Las Esperanzas, Mexico.
says that 100 bodies have been taken
from the coal mine of the Mexican Coal
and Coke company, in which an ex-
plosion of gas occurred four days ago.
There were known to be twenty-three
men still in the shaft, and it is prac-
tically certain that they are all dead.
Nearly one-half of the dead miners are
Japanese. Several hundred of the men
are at work clearing away the debris
of the mine and opening a way to the
imprisoned men. Heartrending scenes
are of hourly occurrence near the
mouth of the shaft.
In nearly every instance identifica-
ton Is impossible. The women and
children crowd about every body that
is brought up. Eight vehicles are en-
gagged in the work of carrying the re-
mains to the cemetery, and their
progress is entirely blocked at times by
the press of women, who furiously de-
mand further opportunity to prosecute
their hopeless task of attempting to
identify the dead The ten doctors in
attendance have been working without
intermission.

refused to relax their attempts to
rescue the handful of shipwrecked peo..

Killed and Score
Wounded
By Associated Press

By Associated Press.
WARSAW, Feb. 22.-The postoffice
was attacked at noon today by band
of terrorists who shot and killed the
postmaster, two clerks and two soldiers
guarding the office and wounded a score
of bystanders.
The terrorists robbed the safe of the
cash and stamps and escaped in cabs
The robbers belonged to the organ
ization known as the fighting socialists
and displayed a red flag while making
their escape.
The police authorities admit that the
robbers got away with several thousand
roubles. This was the first important
raid in two months and shows that the
terrorists were not suppressed, as the
authorities alleged.
The incident has caused intense eX-
citement in Warsaw, and arouses fears
of a recurrence of the sanguinary
events of the early winter.

In Box In SnoWbank Point
to Murder of
Italian
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The feet and
portions of the legs of man or woman
were found In box in a snowbank In
the back yard of a tenement house in
Third avenue today. The legs had been
chopped off, apparently with an ak.
From the appearance OF the feet and
legs 1t is thought that an attempt was
made to destroy them before they were
placed in the box. They were taken to
police station and an investigation
was begun.
Police Sergeant Mcclure said that the
legs were probably those of an Italian.
"I suspect the man may have been
murdered and his body cut up in one of
the tenements in the neighborhood. 1t
is possible the person who was carving
the feet to the river became intoxicated
and lost this evidence of a crime"
There are no marks of violence upon
the body or paper which would lead to
Identification.
