PARTLY SET ASIDE
JUDGE ADAMS SAYS AFFIDAVIT IS
 DTsREsPECTFUL.
HoIds That Suggestion of His Incapnc- ity to Hear Beech HarKis Case Because of Politics is
 an Insult.

Jack son, Ky. Aug. 2s.-This morn ing while the clerk was reading the orders of court entries yesterday. Att torney J. J. c. Bach arose and in- quired of the court for what purpose was the fine imposed on him in the Beech Hargis case, stating that he was not present in court and was con scious of no conduct meriting punish ment.
 This was the signal for another sem sation in the Hargis case. Judge Adams responded that the affidavit filed against him by the attorneys of Beech Hargis, declaring that because he was a Republican and Hargis a Democrat afforded reason. why he as judge, should not preside on trial of iHargis, and the filing of such an af- fldavit by learned counsel made 1t in- cumbent on the court to impose the fine. To say that because he was a Republican he would not grant a fair trial to Democrat was the highest mark of disrespect.
 Attorney w. A. Young then ad- dressed the court disclaiming any in- tention to reflect upon the judge. He said the affidavit was prepared by him. self and Senator elect Bradley on the peremptory demand of his client and submitted to Attorneys ]. J c. Bach and D. B. Redwine and that they filed the same in response to what they believed to be call of duty: that At- torney T. T. Cope knew nothing of the existence of the affidavit until the fine was imposed.
 Judge Adams directed the clerk to set aside so much of the order as Imposed fine upon MT. Cope.

THIRTY MEN
 SUFFOCATED Entombed in an Okla
 homa Mine. FIRE AT HAILEY-OLA SHAFT Twenty-Five Dead Bodies Are
 Removed. Cables and Cages Were Burned and Rescus Parties Were Helpless
 to Relieve the rm-
 prisoned Men.

MeAlister. okla. Aug 2s.--More than thirty miners were suffocated this morning in Haley Ola coal mine No. 1. at Haileyviile. fourteen miles east of McAlister. when fire destroyed the hoisting shaft and air shaft and cut of air from the men below.
 Twenty-iive dead bodies were re- moved from the mine tonight, after a three hours successful battle with the flames. It is believed that six or eight more win be brought out. Twenty-Five mules were suffocated and some of their bodies were burned.
 Explorations in the channels this afternoon reevaled that none of the men met death by burning. but that all of them were suffocated.
 It is impossible yet for the rescuers to get far from the base of the main shaft, and 1t will probably be twenty four hours before a thorough search of the entire mine can be made. Some of the channels are three-quarters of mile long.
 As soon as the entombed miners had gone down In the cage. fire broke out. occasioned by the ignition of A barrel of oil which a miner was try ing to divide. The flames spread across to the hoisting shaft and the air shaft, and all communication with the top was cut of.
 The first indication the people on top of the ground had of the trouble was the flames and smoke coming from the top of the shaft. Hundreds of miners rushed to the scene and tried to get into the air shaft but this was impossible as flames and smoke drove them back. Then an effort was made to operate the cages running up and down the holsting shaft. but 1t was found that the cages. the cables and the guides had been burned.
 There was absolutely no help Tor the imprisoned miners. They had been tn ere under the ground for nearly ten hours before rescuing parties gained access to the lower levels.
 The names of all who went down this morning could not be obtained but the following Is q partial list: Ross Mii- ton, Andrew Kurilko. Dominick Ma riano, R. H. Webster. Nicholas Yacob- itch. H. H. Parker, Dan Gacamow. Joe Ciacomo, Walter Jones. Joe Glen dening, Louis Lewis. Lee Horney Roy Pierce. Tom Reimon, Alex Ross. Tony Keetz, Steve Selohik, w M. smith.
 The Hailey-ola Is owned by pr. D. H. Hailey. James Elliott and number of Chicago and St. Louis cap- italists, among whom are several of the directors of the Rock Island Frisco Road.
 The property loss cannot be esti- mated at present. but may reach SSO,- 900. The mine Is one of the most val uable in the South west.

|C. F. McIVER'S TRAGIC DEATH Was Killed by a Train
 at Luverne. HE STUMBLED AND FELL Last Truck Inflicted Fatal
 hurts. Young Man Had Gone to Luverne To Play Ball---was . Son of Major
 D. w. McIver of Montgomery.

Losing his footing. as. loaded down by a heavy suit case. he was attempt ing to board a train at Luverne yester- day morning. c. F. McIver. the young son of Major D. W. McIver, of Mont gomery, was hurled beneath the last truck of the last car of the train and was instantly killed. The wheel passed over one arm, cutting 1t of and gashed the side of his head. The young man was returning to Montgomery from Luverne. whither he had gone Tuesday morning from this city to engage in a match game of ball
 So unlocked for was the tragedy. so horror stricken the witnesses of the awful happening. that none of them could describe clearly the exact manner In which young McIver met his death.
 It appears that while waiting at the bring him home, he remembered that he had left some article up town and decided to go back for 1t.
 A Returning a few minutes later, he discovered the train in the act Of nov ing off, and burdened by his heavy suit case was able to reach it only as the last car was about to pass him. Att tempting to grasp hold of the rapidly moving car and at the same time place his case on the platform, he ripped and fell directly beneath the last truck of the car. which passed over his arms and gashed his head.
 A number of people witnessed the accident and as quickly as possible, hastened to his aid. A single glance, however, sufiiced to show them that human aid was unavaiiing, death hay- ing ensued instantly.
 intelligence of the catastrophe was dispatched to Major McIver and ar- arrangements were made to ship the re- mains to this city. They reached here about 6 o'clock last night and were met by a party of friends.
 MT. McIver was well known fn Montgomery. and was one of the most popular young men in the city He was a fine ball player and always re- tained a love for the National game. which was indirectly responsible for his untimely death. He was especiat- ly popular with young men. His ear. nest and sincere character generally attracted young men. His father, Ma DOT D. w. McIcer, Is one of the most prominent citizens of Montgomery, and Is now In the State Adjutant Generafs office at he Capitol.
 NIT. McIver's remains were accom- panied to Montgomery by detachment from the Luverne military. Acting for the company, directly after the acci- dent, w. H. Stoddard wired Major Me- IVer:
 we sympathize with you deeply in this sad hour. A detail from Company will accompany the remains home.
 The funeral will take place on Frf- day at some hour to be decided later. The final arrangements are awaiting the arrival of the young mans broth ar Rev. D. w. McIver. from Virginia

Birmingham. Aug. 2e-tspecial )--T R. Kennamer. president Of the district miners union. announced late today that he had received oflcial notification from Indianapolis that the strike of the coal miners in Birmingham had not been called on.
 A press dispatch from Indianapolis short while before had given the first definite information that W. R. FaIr- ley and J. P. White were in conference with T. L. Lewis at Indianapolis and that a decision would likely be reached this afternoon.
 Kennamer's announcement is sup posed to have followed the receipt of a telegram disclosing the result of thf conference.
 Indications of the past few days haf . been so favorable to a settlement of ths strike that the public hesitate to accel this statement as final.
 The operators refuse to make statement. declaring that a conferenc with the union officials is impossible.
 In spite of the lack of definite nj formation. sentiment that the end oi the strike was in sight continued strong today. Feeling was general that the resumption of work in most mines would not be Iater than the end of this week. It is presumed that the cutting of of supplies which the strik- CTS have been drawing will be the only oficial action taken at this time. and when this Is done. the strike may be said to have ended. It is recalled that the strike of 1904 was ended In this fash ion, the official order to re- turn to work not coming until six
 ka nTaHtt@ cally filled.
 A significant move was made today when a train load of non-union men was sent to Adamsville. Accompany ing the train were a large number of deputies, and it is understood they had orders to make wholesale arrests IT there should be interference with the men. It is understood that any per- son who so much as made an uneoin- plimentary remark was to be promptly nut under arrest and brought back to Birmingham. Governor Coner's strfn- gent order that tent camps would not be permitted has resulted in much less opposition than was expected. and tnis ig taken as another indication that the miners themselves believe there is no use making trouble with the end so near.
 The day passed quietly enough. Three men were arrested for the dyna- hitting of the house of non-unfon miner at Pratt City some time ago. and are said to have made a confession of the whole affair. They were placed fin the county jan. The trial of Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien Brown. charged with knocking over a lady when he brushed through the crowd at Fulton Springs to arrest one of the speakers at a picnic gathering, resulted in an acquittal, the lady appearing and de- claring the action was evidently unin- tentIonal and that MT. Brown apolo- gized at the time.
 The soldier boys are leading an easy life, there being little movement of troops and little or no organized trouble to quell. They claim they are being treated well. and have no complaints as to food or quarters.

 Estimates at midnight place the fi- nancial loss close to the half-million

 Despite the fact that the water stands six feet in the residence district of the city and Is deeper in other portions.

 On Green Street where the Sacred Heart Church is situated there is six feet of water.
