HILL BECOMES
AMBASSADOR
UNPLEASANT INCIDENT AT BER-
LIN HAS NOW BEEN ENTIRELY
FORGOTTEN.

BERLIN, June 1.-Charemange
Tower today formally handed over his
post as American ambassador extra
ordinary and plenipotentiary to Ger
many to DR.. David Jayne Hill. and
thus brought to an amicable conclusion
a diplomatic incident that for time
threatened to result in ill feeling be-
tween the state departments of the
countries. DR.. Hill was given cordial
reception into his new office by the
German officials and was the recipient
of a hearty greeting from the kaiser.
His scholarly attachments have at
tracted favorable mention from all
the leading newspapers of Berlin. The
objections made to his appointment last
March have apparently been forgotten
and the career of Dr.. Hill in Berlin
promises to be brilliant one. 1t is
alleged that the objection was based
principally upon the belief of the Ger
man state officials that Dr. Hills COM
parative poverty would prevent him
| from maintaining an establishment in
accordance with the lavish precedent
/ set by Ambassador Tower
DR.. Hill is nearly so years old, and
American minister to The Hague and
ever since his appointment to that
post has been highly popular in Euro
pear diplomatic circles He was Sc
lected to fill this important vacancy
for two reasons-first. because of his
rank in the world of literature and di-
[ plomacy and second. because his pro-
motion would be in execution of Sec
rotary Roots cherished Plan for the
application of civil service principles
| in the diplomatic service
Dr. Hill is nearly years old. and
/ is an accomplished linguist, having
made an especial study of the Ger
man language. He has had a wide ex-
| perlence in diplomacy, and at Wash
ington is regarded as one of the most
tactful and ingenious officials in this
branch of the service. He was born in
Plainfield, N. j., June 10, 1850, and is
the son of a Baptist minister. the Rev.
David I. Hill. He went to college at
Suffield Conn, and at Cooperstown, N.

NO JURY IN PHILIPPINES.

MANILA. June 1.-The Philippine
commission has rejected the assem-
bly, bill creating jury system. The
measure provided for provincial boards
to appoint % permanent jurors in each
province. to serve on all jury cases.
The commission held that the plan
wasnot an ideal one and would lead to
abuses. 1t was believed that the ap
pointment of jurors would become a
factor in politics.
The commission has passed the
public works bill appropriating 10000.
900 pesos. One-half of this sum goes
for the construction of roads and high
ways Half a million will be expended
in starting a system of irrigation
works. while with the balance provi-
sion is made to start the building of
a capitol at Manila, improve the harbor
at Ilollo and build a custom house at
Cebu.

3,125 MEN DIE
\ IN COAL Mines
MAWS IN 1907
INJURIES INFLICTED ON s's,s
OTHERS LAST CALENDAR
YEAR HAD THE LARGEST
DEATH RATE IN HISTORY.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2s-Acci.
cidents In coal mines I'm the United
States during the last calendar year
resulted In the death OF 3,l25 men and
injury to 5,316 more, according to
statistics by the geological survey.
The death record was greater by 1893
than In 1906, making the worst year
In the history OF the United States.
The figures do not represent the full
extent of the disasters. as reports
were not received from states having
no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate In 190l-12.35 per 900 EN-.
ployes, and this state also showed the
lowest production for each life lost
$685. tons. New Mexico stood next
with a Death rate of las and a pro-
duction OF 1892 tons per death Ala.
bama was third with a death rate OF
re and production OF 1886 tons
Missouri had the lowest death rate
.95, and 499,742 tons Of coal mined fol
each life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the popu
lar idea that most mine disasters re
suit from explosions. OF the tota
number reported during the last yea
947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
10 and a production of 1885 tons
from gas and dust explosions and 20
deaths and 416 injuries were cause'
by powder explosions. The chic
cause Of death among the min
ers, the report explains, was due g
the falling of mine roofs and Goa
Such disasters caused 1922 death
and 2,141 injuries.
