ONE HAS TRAGIC End
Tried to Save the Life of a Woman
And Was Roasted Alive, A Boy Sue.
cessfuIIy Finishing the Rash Act He
Followed by Flood from Water Main

New York, Nov. 20.-Twelve men
are reported killed by an explosion
of a gas main in an excavation at Gold
and Front streets in Brooklyn today.
The explosion tore up the street for
rods on either side and the men work
ing in the excavation on the sewer
pipes were buried under the debris
and are believed to have been smoth-
cred or burned to death in the fire
that followed the explosion. Samuel
Trout, who lived in the vicinity, was
killed in attempting to save woman
who was passing at the time of the
explosion and fell into the trench.
Trout was caught by the flames from
the blazing main and roasted alive.
The woman was dragged out of the
trench and saved by boy.
Large water mains were also Drok
en- by the explosion and a torrent of
water began to squirt through the
mass of the wreckage. Beside these
geysers reared the flames from the
escaping gas. The firemen fought des-
perately to relieve the imprisoned
men but there seemed little hope of
recovering any of them alive.

into five great northwestern states,
and the subdivision of the Louisiana
purchase into states. But the excep-
tions have uniformly been division
of territory for states and not the con-
soidation of two or more already
large territories into single state.
President-elect Taft believes that
New Mexico and Arizona have the
population, wealth, enterprise and ar
ca to entitle them to statehood.
While that question will not be taken
up at the early session, bills for their
admission will be introduced and they
will be among the first measures con-
sidered by both the senate and the
house when the first regular session
convenes in December, 1909.
The people Of those territories can
rest assured that before the next con-
sress passes into history their terri
tories will be states and that they will
be represented here at the capital
with fuII-fiedsed members of congress
and two United States senators from
each.

lions and being asked again if he con-
sidered the business risky ON such
showing, Rockefeller retorted "that
the profits did not determine the risk
], the hazard coming in irrespective of
the earnings or prifits.' He also said
the risk came in because of the con-
struction of refining machinery, which
could not he used for any other pur-
pose. He declared the crude oil sup
ply may be exhausted.
Kellog called booksellers atten-
ton to the testimony that has been
given that the Standard Oil Company
received not only a rebate of twenty
cents per barrel on it's own shipments
but a like rebate on shipments by the
Independents companies from the

was president of the Standard COM
pany. Rockefeller declared he had had
nothing to do with sucn contract
although he might have known of it
generally at the time.

Mrs. John l.. Adams, at 9O4 North
Pennsylvania avenue after an illness
of five days of pneumonia. He was

of that state. He was a brother of the
late Mrs. F. P. Gayle and leaves a

WITH A BIG CROWD.

Last nights train from the north
arrived at 1:30 this morning, or six
and half hours late. 1t was the first
thain that has been noticeably late
since the new schedule went into ef-
feet. Although it was excursion night
and a monster crowd came in, this
was not the cause Of the delay. The
tender of the engine was derailed at
Higgins, Texas, at four o'clock yester-
day morning and this was what held
back the train. There was no serious
damage done by the mishap. Last
nights crowd was composed mostly
of Iand-seekers and prospectors and
looked good to the land men.
