with possessing very large fortune,
on Thursday announced that he had
lost everything, and would be COM
PEELED to give up his beautiful home
on Euclid avenue and move into
smaller and less expensive quarters.
The mayor also stated that he
would give up his automobiles and
other Injuries because he could no
longer afford to keep them.
His fortune was wrecked, the mayor
declared, by his devotion to the af-
fairs of the estate of his dead brother,
Albert, who was heavily interested in
traction properties in the east.

said There's a thousand fights left
in me. I'll move to small house,
I'll ride to work in street cars and

After Albert's death a question was
put up to him whether he should re-
sign his Office as mayor and take up

TRAGIC DEATH Of
HEROIC MINERS
-Four Men Are Overcome by Gas
in Utah Mine, Being Dead
Before Help Came.
Three Meet Death In Heroic Attempt
to Save Life Of an italian Who
Had Become Overcome by Foul
Air In Mine

Salt Lake City.--Four men met
death, while forty others were over
come by the fumes of gas in the
workings OF the Utah Copper com.
pany at Bingham, on Saturday.
The deadly fumes that proved fatal
TO four of the mining men were in
what is known as gopher, a small
working below the tunnel of the mine.
An Italian miner was the first
victim of the fumes. His body was
found lying across the ladder half
way up from the gopher. Believing
that there was another Italian work
ing in the gopher, a rescue party of
FIVE men, consisting of Kent Smith,
assistant superintendent of the Utah
Copper company; Hugh Burns and
George Wilson, steam shovel men,
and Oscar Mann, a brakeman, and
another brakeman known as RUBY"
The first three named went into the
gopher to search for the body of the
second Italian which they expected to
find in the working. The two brake
men lowered them into the hole by a
winch and were prepared to haul
them out in case they were overcome
The men. however, were unable to
get back to the rope.
The two brakemen at the entrance
to the gopher were also overcome
but they revived after they had been
carried out into the air. The air was

men in the gopher could not be
reached until II o'clock at night, ant
then only after the foul air had beer
pumped out of the working to a large
extent. Efforts to revive the mer
proved futile.
For hours almost every one who
ventured near the opening into the
working was overcome. The mines
of the Boston Consolidated and the
Utah Consolidated companies were
closed and the men sent to assist In
the work of rescue. Forty or fifty
minters who assisted in the rescue
work had to be carried out OF the tun
ne's. suffering from the deadly effects
OF the fumes.
II seems that the Italian laborer
had become overcome, and was de
serted by two companions, who
reached the mouth of the tunnel com
pletely overcome by the fumes OF the
foul air. Kent Smith, the general
foreman of the plant, headed party
to go to the Italians assistance. II
was in endeavoring to rescue the Ital
fan that the other men lost their
lives.

.REPUTEO WORDS OF EMPEROR
AN EXHIBITION OF EGOTISM
New York World Prints Sensational
Story Of the Alleged Interview
With German War Lord.

New York.-What purports to be

tic synopsis" of the interview OBJ
talned from Emperor William of Ger
many by DR.. william Bayard Hale
and subsequently withdrawn just as
It was about to appear in the Century
Magazine, has been printed by the
World. The World declares that the
article as originally written was sub
mitted to DIR. Hale and that it appears
'as changed by DR.. Hale"
The interview is said to have taken
place on the imperial yacht Hohen-
Eollern off Bergen, Norway, while DR..
Hale was the emperor's guest. The
World summarizes the main points
of the emperors interview as fol
lows:
"That King Edward of Great Brit
pin had been humiiating him for
more than two years and that he was
exasperated; that Germany was the
paramount power In all Europe and
England was trying to neutralize that
power.
THAT he held France in the hollow
of his hand, and that Russia was of
no account since the disastrous war
she had with Japan.
THAT II the Pan European war
which had been so much talked of
was inevitable, the sooner 1t came the
| better 1t would be for him, but he was
ready and was tired of the suspense
"That Great Britain had been a de
cadent nation every since her victory
over the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State, because hers was an I'M
| righteous, ungodly cause, and Divine
Judgment was bound eventually to
overtake the powerful nation that
waged such a war.
THAT the Anglo-Japanese alliance
was an iniquitous alliance against al
the white races. England proving alb
solutely her faithess case as a Chris
| tian nation that Japan was honey
combing India with sedition and food
ing 1t with spies. while professins
openly to be England's friend ant
ally.
THAT the only way to counteract
this alliance was for Germany ant
America to act together at an early
| uhte or America WOulu nave 10 HSH
the Japanese in ten months.
THAT in the event of great wal
England would lose many of her colo
MES, especially in the Pacific, ant
that what he would take for Germany
would be Egypt, though he would lib
crate the Holy Land from the yoke
Of the infidel, presumably meaning
the sultan.
THAT the perfecting of the Zeppe
lin dirigible ballon would give Ger
many power advantage in war and
she was ready to make use of 1t tt
the fullest extent"
The World declares that Emperor
William ,,new when he made these
statements that DR.. Hale was ar
American newspaper man and maya
zine writer, but that nevertheless the
statements were made without reser
walton and that no secrecy was i'm
posed.

Carnegie Urges Tariff Revision.

New York.--A notable article from
Andrew Carnegie, dealing with the
tariff, will appear in the forthcoming
December number of the Century

position that infant industries" no

and other industries have now grown
beyond the need of tariff protection;
that duties on luxuries used by the
rich should be maintained, but that
those on manufactured articles should
be reduced greatly or abolished en-
tirely when no longer needed.
