TERRIFIC GAS EXPLOSION
A Street From Block to Block And From Door Step to Door Step Lifted High Into The Air Settling Back up- on The Victims

New York, Nov. 2O.-Twenty- five persons are believed to have lost their lives in an explosion of gas which tore up a great section of Gold street, Brooklyn, today It is definitely known that fifteen persons are buried under hundreds of tons of earth and timber thrown into the air and ten men are reported missing. The eX- act number of the dead cannot be de- termined until tomorrow for those who are working to recover the en- tombed bodies must dig through fifty feet of dirt, rock and tangled pipes and timbers.
 The explosion occurred in a fifty foot deep excavation that had been made in Gold street, between York and Front streets, where a water main was being laid. A gas pipe sprank a leak recently and in a man ner unknown, a spark came into con- tact with the escaping gas. Imme- diately there was a loud explosion which lifted the earth for a block in each direction and shot dirt, paving stones and debris into the air.
 When the smoke and dust cleared away it was seen that the street had been opened from doorstep to door step over an area of nearly d block. The loosened earth and debris had fallen into the excavation. burying a score of laborers who were at work when the accident occurred.
 Great tongues of flame shot out of the crevices and beside them gey- sers of water leaped into the air from a water main that had been shattered / fwo bodies were sticking out of thd wreckage. Gold street was %owdId with school children when The explosion ocearred and that scores we% hYt killeI or injured was
 A womai-and/three children were almost over tH excavation when the earth crumbSed upder their feet and they were/swept bown into the hole under t1hs qf wrAckage. Two other childred wsfe on the opposite side of the street when the sidewalk caved in and they 1ost their lives.
 Samuel 1;ESut. foreman of the gang of laborers, was near a woman and three children who lost their lives. He rushed forward in an epdeavor to save them, but he, too, was drawn into the death hole. His body was the first recovered. It had been roast ed almost to d cinder.

The Federation COnp|ete|y
 Endorses Its President HIS REPORT APPROVED
The Only Discordant Note Was Raised by the Social istic Element---The Election of Officers Today May Include That of Keefe

Denver, Nov. 2O.-At no time since the opening of the convention of the American Confederation of Labor has there been any doubt that President Gompers was in complete control but it was thought possible that a part of his report might be materially amend ed or his political course condemned. The report was before the convention for a day and a half and although for a while there was vigorous dis cussion of some of its contents. it was adopted this afternoon and Gompers was thereby fully endorsed.
 Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock the election of officers will be a spe- cial order of business. All the old of ficers probably will be elected with the exception of Vice President Daniel J. Keefe and even he may be again voted into office. It is reported that the miners have decided to support MT. Keefe for reelection and they have the largest vote of any union in the convention. It is also reported that Gompers will not oppose Keefe but this cannot be confirmed as the pres ident refuses to be interviewed on the subject.

EXTENT OF ITS RAvAGEs.

Danville. Ind. Nov. 2O.-A report received tonight at the federal and state headquarters established here by officials Investigating the apthous fever among cattle. says the veterina- rians have discovered thirty-f five well defined cases of the disease among cattle in Montgomery county, in the vicinity of MOrristown.

 Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Sehech said tonight that more than one thousand cows had been killed besides many swine.
 The report that five children of this city were victims of the disease is dis counted by the statement of Dr. Fox. of the state health department who came here from Harrisburg. He ex- amined the children, who are conva- lescent, and says it is doubtful if they ever had the disease.

HIS GROSS EXAMINATION
The Head Iof The Standard Oil Company Unmoved by The Storm of Inquiries. He
 Admits That His Company Has Amassed Some Wealth

New York, Nov. 2O.-For over five hours today John D. Rockefeller, wit ness for the defense in the government suit to dissolve the Standard Oil com pany, faced an unceasing fire of ques- tions from the federal counsel, Frank B. Kellogg. and when an adjournment was taken until Monday the head of the oil combine was still being cross examined on the charge that the com pany in its early days accepted rebates to the disadvantage of its rivals. Rockefeller's cross examination will probably not be concluded until late Tuesday as Kellogg made 1t known that he would question Rockefeller on every detail of the company's business.
 The enormous earning power of the oil combination was sharply brought out in today's hearing when MT. Rocke- feller. after stating that the Standard paid dividends amounting to $40,000, 900 in 1907, said that it had earned as much more and this was added to the company's surplus. which was stated by the governments counsel to be $300, ,000,060 It was further declared by Kellogg that the company. within the last eight years had earned nearly a half billion dollars.

Two Varying Views Al The
 Tariff Raising Hearing ONE IS MORE PROTECTION
The Other is That Nothing But Free Trade Will Avoid The Conseueqnces of Famine Which Has Already Begun to be Felt

Washington, Nov. 2O.-"We have all ready crossed the verge of a timber famine so severe that its blight will be felt in every hamlet of the land" said Theodore M. Knappen, a real es- tate dealer of Minneapolis. at today's hearing in the tariff revision before the ways and means committee Tn five years every saw mill iii Minne- sota will be abandoned; yet this in dustry in it's prime employed ten thousand men" He spoke for a repeal of the duty on timber saying that American labor had nothing to fear from free trade as Canadian labor was as high as labor in this country
 That protection was needed was as- serted by J. B. White. a lumber manu- facturer of Kansas City. in asking that the present rate of duty on lumber be retained if not increased. He argued that a protective tariff would tend to conserve the forests of the country on the theory that every stray log in the forests would be used in manufacture
 How about President Roosevelt. Clifford Pinchot and these other gen tlemen who are arguing for free trade III AoihOtA HI OlhNA lO COuSCtNt lut lOT- ests of the country" asked Champ Clark
 They have not heard me talk" was the reply.
 Champ Clark claimed that the high price of lumber was due to speculation on the part of the lumber producers. The witness argued that the price of stumpage, one of the principal cost items in producing lumber, was too high.
 J. A Freeman of St. Louis. D. E. Skinner of San Francisco and c. w. Nibley of Oregon, added their voices to the appeal for a continuation of the protective tariff on lumber Nibley ad- mitted that the profits were ten to fif- teen per cent under the protective tariff
 The committee took a recess at : o'clock, resuming the hearing an hour later when several lumbermen and witnesses interested in reeds and rat tan appeared in favor of a protective tariff. 'The universal grab game" was the appellatfon given the tariff by Representative Champ Clark

counsel ran not so smoothly as yester- day, when he told his story under the direction of friendly counsel, but the rapid fire of interrOgations of the pros- ecutor were always met with unshak- en imperturbability and a readiness to answer except when, as he explained: {: Tt is quite impossible for me to re- member after thirty five years. I do not recall.
 r. Rockefeller was questioned closely regarding the rebates which the Stan dard was accused of accepting, but with the exception of an agreement with the Pennsylvania railroad which Rockefeller explained gave the com pany a rebate in order to equalize oil rates, he could not recall any other re- bate.
 The president of the Standard Oil company. when he learned that the governments counsel would not be able to conclude his ss-examinatiOn by tomorrow night, suggested an adjourn ment until Monday, which was agreed to.

THE DISGRACEFUL STORY
 RETOLD BY GALLAGHER
He Almost Gave Way Under the Chilling By Ruef's Lawyer.

San Francisco, Nov. 20.-Ex- super visor James Gallagher continued to testify today under cross examination in the trial of Ruef In monotOus repe- tition the witness was forced to go over again and again the various bribery deals and transactions with the board of supervisors in which he said he had acted as agent for Ruef.
 Henry Ach. chief counsel for Ruef directed such rapid fire questions that Gallagher lost his customary compo- sure and plainly showed the effect of the grilling to which he was being sub jected.
 Judge Lawlor rebuked Ach for his dilatory tactics and the proceedings, both in the morning and afternoon ses- sions which were marked by frequent clashes between counsel.

the presidents report, there was a section commenting the course of the American Federationalist, the official organ. Objection to this was made by the leading socialists present. They wanted the report amended so that committee might be appointed to in Vestigate the source of the income of the socialist party in the recent cam paign. This information was desired because of an attack upon Eugene V. Debs, that appeared in the Federation ist.
 An amendment was offered to ask the socialists if they were responsible for the attacks on the federation of ficials in the socialist press. The was adopted and precip- itated a debate in which a number of delegates took part, including Presi- dent Gompers.
 J. NJ. Barnes, closed the discussion and in the course of his remarks he denied several charges made by Com pers Gompers desired to speak a second time but Delegate Barnes ob- jected. By this objection the socialists lost all they had gained by their elq- quence and the convention promptly voted down their amendment and the debated section. The re- mainder of the committees report was without discussion
 At this point Delegate T. l.. Lewis of the miners, interrupted the proceed ing and in an eloquent speech. pre- sented on behalf of the convention to President GOmpers a diamond ring. Mir. Gompers was overcome by the good will of the delegates.
