Will Harris planted this season
$500 hills of strawberries in a quar-
ter of an acre of ST. Petersburg soil.
From these he gathered 2,402 quarts
o. strawberries, which he sold at an
average price of II IL cents per
quart or a total of S356.0S. This would
figure $1.424 50 an acre. Our north

around And we would ask that they
have their local papers publish the
above item so that the truckers of the
north can see what is possible in our
soil.-St. Petersburg Independent.

Berkman, the anarchist leader who
served a long term in prison for an
attempt to assassinate Henry c. Frick,
was taken IN custody Oy the police
here today. He will be taken to
Bellevue hospital this afternoon and
confronted with Selig Silverstein, the

The police say that when the two
men are brought together they will
be questioned closely to learn whether
they have anything in common. The
detention Of Berkman was brought
about through the finding in Silver

bearing Berkman's signature. This

RESCUtRS KILLED
IN SECOND EXPLOSION
Mine Has Been Sealed UP and
Probably No Trace of Missing
Men Will Ever be Found
Only Five Bodies Recovered
and Search Discontinued.

Hanna, Wyo., March 30.-Fifty-
nine lives were lost as the result OF
two explosions in Union Pacific mine
No. 1 Saturday and of this number
but five bodies have been recovered.
The mine has now been sealed up In
an effort to smother the fire and II Is
not likely that any trace of the 9TH
ers who lost their lives viii ever be
found.
The official force of the three local
mines was completely wiped out by
the disaster. From superintendent
Briggs and his three foreman, down
to the gas watchers, stable bosses
and other minor officials, all are
dead, and a complete reorganization
Of the working forces of the three
mines will be necessary.
Fire broke out in the mine early
Saturday morning and Superintend-
ent Briggs and seven others went to
No. 10 level to subdue It.. While they
were working there the first explo-
sion occurred and but one man Of
the party escaped.
Rescuers Are Killed.
State Mine Inspector Elias organ
lied a rescue party and stationed
men for a distance of 1900 feet
throughout the entrance. The fire
was raging at the No. 10 level and it
was first thought advisable to close
No. 8 entrance but this idea was
abandoned as 1t was thought the gas
wout. thus be forced back to No. 10
level and contact with the fire would
cause another explosion.
The party then continued working
toward the fire, but 1t Is thought that
some of the sragglers conceived the
idea of closing No. entrance. and
did so, which forced the gas to the
fire at No. 10 level, causing the sec
ond explosion.
The entire rescue party was wiped
out with the exception of one man,
who had left the party to return to
the entrance.
This morning 1t was decided to
abandon the attempt to rescue any Of
the men in the mine as it was prac-
tically certain no one could have sur
vived. The work of sealing up the
mine was then undertaken and It
will be left in the expectation that
the flames will die out within a few
days. There is little probability that
any of the bodies will ever be recov-
cred.
The disaster Saturday brings the
list of victims of explosions In this
mine up to 300.

MANUEL TO TAKE OATH
BEFORE NEW PARLIAMENT

Lisbon, Portugal, March 30.-After
prolonged deliberation the govern
ment has reached the decision that it
would be unwlse to convoke the cor
ties dissolved by Joao Franco for the
kings oath, so that chambers will
only assemble after the elections. The
government rightly believes that the
presence Of Franquist deputies might
give rise to deplorable incidents, and,
therefore, il considers the better sulu-
tion is that a new parliament should
be convOked, before which the king
could take the oath required ny the
constitution. The actual cOrtes are
legally dissolved 10y royal DEGREES,
and the senate will remain in state
not according to the reforms nf Joao
Franco, but according To the DISPOSE

have been impossible to convoke the
cOrtes before elections, owing to GER

tuition, which must be respected
Those elements which are desirous
of finding a motive for obstruction
are very bitter because the ancient
chambers are not couvoked, but they
are wrong. 1t has been stated that

Confessed At the Last.

Gillette made a confession to his
spiritual advisers.
Regarding this Rev. MacIlvary
gave out the following statement:
because our relationship with
Chester Gillette was privileged we
do not deem II wise to make a de-
tailed statement and simply wish to
say that no legal mistake was made
in his electrocution. (Signed Hen
~ MacIlravy. Corfelia Herick."
Besides his confession Gillette has
a word to say to young men OF the
world. He handed a communication
to Warden Benham last night, in
which he urged ali young. men to
lead Christian lives His one regret,
ne said, was that he had not led such
Il life, but he had now found Jesus
Christ" Closing he said:
There is not one thing have left
undone which will bar me from fac
ing cad, knowing that my sins are
forgiven. for | have been free and
frank in my talks with my spiritual
advisors and God knows where i
stand Ny task is done, victory
won"
The crime for which Chester L.
Gillette was sentenced to forfeit his
ife in the electric chair in Auburn
prison today was the murder OF his
sweetheart, Grace BrOw1. near Big
Moose in the AdiroudackS on July
II, 1906. Gillette was convicted on
Circumstanti4l evidence after "A sem
satinnal trial in which the pathetic
love letters of "Billy" Brown. as
the girl was familiarly known among
her associates, to Gillette, played an
important part. The girl, who per-
isheI IN the waters Of Big Moose
lake, had trusted Gillette to make
amends for the wrong he had done
her by making her his Wife. and her
letters which were found I'm the

and their tender pleading for the
