or More Laborers Are at Work and
Several Pedestrians Also Are Car
ried Down-Tenements in the
Neighborhood Rendered Dangerous
New York, Nov. 21.-More than
twenty persons lost their lives as
result of the explosion of gas main
at Gold and Front streets, Brooklyn.
Practically the whole street from stoop
line to stoop line between Gold and
Front streets was tumbled into a
fifty-foot excavation in which fifteen
or more men were working and sew
eral persons who were walking along
the street are believed to have been
carried down. Fifty tenement houses
on the block are in such danger OF
falling into the trench that the occu-
pants have been ordered out by the
police. At least one woman and three
little girls are said by the police to
have been swallowed up in the cavein
which followed the explosion.
The workmen were digging trench
through Gold street for the installa
ton of 36-inch sewer pipe. The ex
cavation was to be nearly forty feet
deep and as the laborers removed the
earth the walls had been shored ur
by large timbers. With Charles Schiff
meyer, a city inspector of sewers
overseeing the work the men were
working at the bottom of the trench
when an accumulation of gas from q
main which had been accidentally
broken during the course of the work
exploded with tremendous force. The
supporting timbers were ripped away
and the high dirt walls toppled ovel
on Schiffmeyer and his men. A large
water main also was broken by the
force of the explosion and perfect
torrent of water began to squirt VI
! through the mass of wreckage. Al
| most side by side with these geysers
| roared the flames from the gas escap
| Ing from the broken main.
| So great was the mass of broker
| timber and mud in the bottom of the
trench that four hours after the ex
plosion the police and firemen hae
| been unable to find any other thar
the one body which was found In the
| street. 1t was believed that the bod
les of nearly twenty workmen and al
unknown woman and two children
were buried in the debris, but ths
work of recovery was delayed by th'
necessity of snoring up the high wal
of the trench before an attempt was
made to clear away the wreckage
Timbers were hauled to the scene ant
the flow of water and gas shut off.
A remarkable feature of the acci
dent was that four men who wer'
working In the lower part of th'
trench and who heard the first soun'
OF the crumbling timbers saved thei
lives by crawling through a sewe
pipe which led towards the Eas
river. These men were obliged t
make their way through water almos
up to their necks before they reache,

New York, Nov. 21.-When John ID.
Rockefeller resumed the stand in the
government suit to dissolve the
Standard Oil company his cross-exam-
ination was begun by Frank B. Kel-
logg, special assistant to the attorney
general
In response to questions about the
hazardous nature of the oil business,
owing to the possibility of failure OF
supply, Mr.. Rockefeller said that the
production of crude oil in the Penn
sylvania field had steadily increased
from 1862 to 1900.

"Do you consider a business haz-
ardous that, on an original invest
ment of $67,0O0,00O, paid dividends
amounting to $591, 100000 and had
left surplus of $30o,000,00O?'
II do not consider the amount OF
money made determines whether the
business is hazardous or not" said
Mr.. Rockefeller. He was then asked
about the trust agreement of 1882 and
whether the trust certificates did not
show value of $7O,0O0,0O0 and that
the stocks held under the agreement
had an actual value OF $55,71O,69s.
Mr.. Rockefeller said he believed
those figures to be correct.
"The record shows that up to 1906
the net earnings of the company were
$551, ,922,9O4 What was the dividend
in 1907" asked Mr.. Kellogg.
Il should say about 40 per cent"
"That was about $39,0O0,O ,O00?"
"That would be million in favor
OF the poor old Standard said Mr.
Rockefeller. He added that the net
earnings for 1907 were approximate,
$4,000, 900.
Mr.. kellogg again asked IL he con
sidered the business risky on such 6
showing and Mr.. Rockefeller again re
torted that the profits did not detor

RUSSIAN WORKERS REORGAN-
IZING

Berlin, Nov. 2S.-The current issue
of the Russian Bulletin" contains
the following interesting account of
the revival of Socialist activity in
Russia:
great masses of the Social-Democra-
tic party of Russia il that the period
The general feeling among the
of inactivity and stagnation is over at
last. And, indeed, Notwithstanding
the obstruction placed in the way of
the reYolutionists by the reign of the
gallows and the white terror, il is easy
to see that the chaos that prevailed
during the past eighteen months Il
clearing up and the masses of the peo-
pie have thrown aside their apathy
and are filled with new courage.
The greatest difficulty for the party
was the transition period from a
legal or half legal status to an Illegal
one. which carried with IL the ncces-
sity for concentration in secret or
ganiZation and the ronouncing of all
open propaganda.
This process of reorganization is
being rapidly perfected with the help
of a few semi-legal bodies, such as
a few trade unions, fraternal organ
izations, educational clubs, and. above
all. the Social-Democratic part of tn,
duma. That these partially legal
parties must hc used to build up the
underground" organization is being
generally recognized and much work
is being done in that direction.
The activity of the party has more
than technical difficulties TO contend
with The tasks which present them
selves are much more difficult than
i'm, the days before the revolution
The proIetariat has become ripper po-
litically and is not satisfied To con-
fine its work within the limits of a
secret organization. Consequently
the task of agitation and propaganda
is a mighty one and is rendered es-
pccially severe by the fact that just
at this moment of reconstruction a
great number of the most intelligent
members have deserted the party.
IL can he easily understood that
considerable difference of opinion eX-
lists regarding the immediate work
to be done. Certainly, the general
idea is that the party organization
must be strengthened, the existing
half legal institutions made use of
and the activity of the members of
the duma used for the intcnsfication
Of political activity; but the differ
ent tendencies I'm the party are not
united as to which of these methods
is the most important
This is particularly noticeable re-
garding the position toward the So
cial- al-Democratic members of the
duma. Some Socialists declare tina
they should be withdrawn from the
duma, as their presence there has
no object, while on the other hand
