the jewelry and ~pawnshop of A. s.
Levi, GIT Franklin avenue. which was

IDENTIFY WoMAN'S BODY.
Had Been Employed by Residents. Of
Oak Park, Chicago Suburb.

Chicago, Ill.-The dead woman
found Wednesday in a rooming house
on Michigan avenue was identified as
Mrs. Fannie Thompson OF New York.
The Identification was established by
residents Of Oak Park, a suburb of
this city, by whom she had been en-
ployed.
Mrs. T%hompson's husband, it Is said,
is a school teacher in New York and
he is reported to have been in Oak
Park recently in an effort to persuade
his wife to return east with him.
The woman, who was also known as
Annie Raymond" refused his request,
however, and left the village until
after his departure for his home.
The police search for clews as to
the Identification of the woman's slay-
er has been a failure thus far.

TWO HUNDRED IN BURNING MINE
Troops Called Out to Watch Grief.
Stricken Relatives.

Yusovo, Russia-Flames are add
ing their horror to the explo-
sion in the mine at Rikovsky Thurs
day, and a total death list of 300 is
feared.
Already 100 bodies have been taken
out. More than 200 men are still in
the mine and the flames make their
rescue extremely difficult. The most
pathetic scenes are enacted around
the mine, where the families of the
miners are gathered. Driven mad
by despair and grief, troops have been
called on to hold them in check.
Aid has been asked of other towns,
as the hospital and medical facilities
here are inadequate. Many of the
bodies taken from the mine are terri
bly, mangled, showing the terrific
force of the explosion.

Fear OF assassins, who daily threat

Officials of the Missouri Pacific rail-

ports indicate that Harding, the mail
clerk, was the only person killed in
the wreck. Several other mail clerks
were injured, their reports say. =
One Of the injured is said by them
to have been Engineer Burke, of one
IF the wrecked trains.
The singular feature of the COLI
sion which brought death and injury
to so many was that, with the excep-
ton Of one engine drive wheel, moi, q
single wheel was derailed and not a
foot Of roadbed was destroyed, the
peculiar result being attributed, to the
fact that at the moment Of the COLI
h siOh al III lAc Wuccib were dlTlOCktu
and held the trains solid on the per-
fotly straight track.
As the wrecked cars were pulled
from the scene a human arm and
hand we're found extending through

smoker, and the life blood Of some
unfortunate streamed from the bottom
of the car. i, ts,elk..sa4

Bad faith towards Mexico by tho

is very strongly suspected by tho
Mexican government.
The action OF Washington has been
the very best" said Minister Mariscai.
Not only has the United States gov.

to assist Mexico, but took quick steps
to move troops to the border, evincing
a degree OF frlendliness which IAN not

THE sincerity of Texas" he de-

Our doubts in regard TO Texas have
begun to increase with developments.
The failure of local authorities to ar
rest these men on the ground that
their offense was political in my mind
has no tenable excuse. No absolute
decision has been reached as to wheth-
er complains will be made, because
the facts in the matter have not been
thoroughly mapped out and there are
other important matters for attention,
but l am strongly inclined to believe
that complaints will be made and pun
