1t was the first time that the looters

when they pleaded guilty, and many
startling facts were brought out re-

M0narChS Toast Each Other at State
Banquet-Residents Serenade
Visitors.

Reval, June 10.-Edward VII. king
of Great Britain, and Emperor Nicho-
las exchanged royal visits yesterday
on the waters of the Bay of Reval, in
the Gulf of Finland. 1t was notable
meeting and one which may have a
far-reaching effect in the world poll
cies of the future.
The day was brilliant with sunshine.
The hills and the wooded shores of
the bay were crowded with thousands,
and the arrival of the British king by
sea and the emperor of Russia by
land was made the occasion of un-
bounded enthusiasm
Toast Each Other.
During the course of the day the
king and emperor were the guests of
the dowager empress at luncheon
on board the Russian yacht Polar
Star, which was crowded with guests
No speeches were made at this affair,
but at the state banquet in the even
ing on board the Russian yacht Stand
art toasts were given which were
heartily responded to. Both the king
and the emperor spoke in English
and they emphasized the good rela-
lions which have succeeded the cool
ness between the two countries in
the past years and the peaceful nature
of the new understanding.
All the warships were brilliantly il
Illuminated, and the yachts Polar Star
and Alexandra displayed special cleo
trical effects.
Serenade Royal Visitors.
Early in the evening boat loads of
German, Estnonian and Russian resi-
dents steamed out into the roadstead
and serenaded the royal visitors with
national folksongs and village rounde-
lays. The members of the royal par
ties remained on deck until after mid
night listening to the music.
King Edward had a long private
consultation with Premier Stolypin
after luncheon, returning to the cab
in with him. Nothing with regard to
the purport of the conversations be-
tween the king and the emperor and
the ministers has been published, but
it is understood that they touched po-
litical relations only in a general way.

BRINGS WOODS CASE TO CLOSE
President of Defnnct Wisconsin Grain
and Stock Company Is
Fined $500.

st. Paul. June 10.-Another chapter
in the litigation of the government
against the Wood brothers ct al. was
concluded yesterday, when Clinton B.
Phelps, the self-acllnowledged presi-
dent of the defunct Wisconsin Grain
and Stock company pleaded guilty to
an indictment charging him with u.s.
ing the mails to defraud, and was
given the maximum fine of $500 by
Judge Page Morris, before whom he
was arraigned.
On motion of United States District
Attorney Charles c. Houpt, the indict-
ments pending against George w.
Wood, Martin P. Quigley, Bruce Tut
tie and A. w. Brown were nolled
Mr.. Houpt said that all the other
defendants, with the exception of
George Wood, were merely employees
of the company, and that they were
indicted to further the aim of the
government in convicting the real Off
GERS.
In regard to George Wood he moved
that the Indictment be quashed as to
him also, inasmuch as he had pleaded
guilty and had been fined on another
charge.
This brings to a sensational close a
case that has bristled with sensational
incidents throughout.
The only remaining incident of the
case will be the arraignment of Mar
tin P. Quigley on the perjury charge.

The two buildings were located near
the portal doors Of the main shaft,
and to prevent the spread of the
flames and accumulation of smoke in
the workings of the mine, these doors
were closed \ temporarily. The men
working the night shift in the mine
were hurriedly notified of conditions
on the surface and instructed to with
draw. When the flames had been
extinguished the list was checked
over and discovery was then made
lutiI IuTS0 men were missing. lum0-
diately efforts to rescue them were
made. The first men to enter the
mine returned in haste and informed
those in waiting that the mine was
filled with foul air. Two rescue par
ties were formed and the men started
into the mine in groups of five.
Rescuers Succumb.
The air generated by the motion of

Other Fatalities Are Report
ed in Stricken Region.
DESOlATION IS WIDESPREAD
Vast Property Damage Is Done by Fu-

Number of Counties.

Omaha, June 9. Latest reports
place the known dead in the Southern
Nebraska tornado on Friday evening
at twenty-three and possibly twenty
| five, with three or four points yet to
hear from, and a correspondingly
large list of injured.
With every line Of communication
by wire closed to the stricken points,
it has been we'll nigh impossible to Sc
cure details of the destruction
wrought by the tornado, but sufficient
has been received to show that it is
the worst of it's kind which has ever
visited the state, both in loss of life
and destruction of property.
AS meager reports come in the cas-
ualty list grows, each succeeding re-
port from the different towns adding
from one to three dead and several in
jured.
DesoIation Is General.
Homeless and helpless, more than
200 people, farmers and their families,
have sought refuge in such homes as
were not in the path of the storm or
were fortunate enough to escape with
out serious damage. Not a head of
live stock is left in the wake of the
tornado and crops are utterly destroy
ed.
Between Byron and Deshler the
greatest loss of life occurred, twelve
persons being killed outright and a
number receiving injuries from which
they cannot recover. The injured
have been cared for in the best man
ner possible, but many are still in a
critical condition and cannot be
moved to hospitals.
Four Counties Hit.
The storm was general throughout
at least four counties, Fillmore, Web
ster, Franklin and Thayer, on the
southern border of the state, and
reached over into Kansas, from where
reports of great destruction are COM
ing slowly. The towns of Carleton,
Fairfield, Deshler, Shickley, Geneva,
Frankling, Ong and Riverton are
among those visited by the storm.

BREWERS TO START
CRUSADE ON DIVES
Resolution Favoring Eradication
OF Disreputable Saloons Un-
der Consideration.
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE GRILLED
Arthur Brisbane, in Address, Declares
Prohibition Neither Feasible
Nor Possible.

Milwaukee, June 10. - Resolutions
declaring in effect that the United
States Brewers association is in favor
of the eradication of the dive will
come before the convention at it's
closing session to-day.
The resolutions were introduced at
an executive session of the conven-
ton yesterday, and while their text
has not been made public, it is under
stood that they declare that munich
pal authorities in all the cities of the
country should have the cooperation
of the brewers IN their efforts to wipe
out disreputable saloons.
dishonest and immoral"
President Lehman, in the course
of his remarks before the convention
yesterday, took the superintendent
of the Anti-saloon league, most of
them former clergymen, to task by
asking "how can they advocate poll
cy of confiscation pronounced by JUS
tice Brewer to be both dishonest and
immoral?"
This remark called forth a sugges-
ton from H. B. Scharman of Brook
Ign that the executive committee of
the association present to the legisla-
ture of some prohibition state an OBJ
ject lesson in the form of bill for
damages for property stolen" by pro-
hibition legislation. The suggestion
was referred to the committee on res
olutions.
The afternoon was devoted to adj
dresses, the star of the program being
Arthur Brisbane of New York, with
E. J. Giddings of Oklahoma, candidate
for governor of that state, a close Sec
ond in popularity.
Neither Feasible or Possible.
Mr. Gidings was for open war on
prohibitionists, but Mr.. Brisbane de-
clared that there were two sides to
the question, and told the brewers
they should clean up the questionable
resorts. He declared prohibition was
not only not feasible, but not possible.
Prohibitionists should be argued with
as brothers, and not as wild-eyed an
archists, he said.
