MORE Than ONE
HUNDRED DEAD
Sect i'd Disaster Occurs in
Vest Virginia Mine.
HAD BEEN DECLARED SAFE

First Explosion Occurred Two Weeks
Ago and the Last Body Had Been
Recovered and State Officials Had
Inspected the coliery and Author
lied Resumption of Work-open
Lamp Believed to Be Cause.
| Bluefield, w. Va, Jan. 13.-Over one
hundred men perished as the result
Of a second explosion in the Lick
Branch mine at Switchback. where
fifty men were Killed two weeks ago.
There were 800 men at work in the
colliery at the time of the disaster
and it is not definitely known how
many escaped. Rescue parties have
been unable to enter the mine on ac-
count of the intense heat.
The mine officials refuse to give an
estimate of the number that may
have met death, but al the pit mouth
it is now believed that more than
one hundred have perished. Fresh
air is being forced into the shaft by
way of the fan, which was not dam
aged.
II While the officials cannot now sug,
gest a cause for the explosion many
miners place the blame on some OF
the foreign miners who may have en-
tered with an open lamp. 1t was
known that there was a small guam
tity of gas in the mine and it is con
sidered probable that this may have
suddenly increased after the miners
began to work and that it was ig
nited by an open lamp.

FIRST OF PRESENT WINTER
Genuine Cold Weather in Central and
Southwestern States.

Louisville, Jan. 13.-The Central
and Southwestern states are expert
encing the first genuine cold weather
of the winter, with the prospects OF
still lower temperatures. Sleet or
snow has occurred generally over the
district south of the Lake region, in
the Mississippi valley and the South
west. The temperature ranges from
s to IA above in Northern Texas and
Arkansas
In Louisville the rain and sleet
turned to snow and was blown into
drifts by a biting north wind. The
coat of sleet on the streets gave un
told inconvenience and was the cause
of many minor accidents. Trains
from every direction we're from two

Rumors Of Use Of Money in
Senatorial Contest.
TRAP SET FOR BRIBERS
Six Democratic Legislators Secretly
Chosen to Act as Spies and Secure
Evidence, If Possible, to Cause the
Arrest and Prosecution Of Any One
Offering inducements for Support OF
Senatorial Candidates.

Indianapolis, Jan. 13.-Persistent
rumors that money is being used in
the United States senatorial campaign
and that six Democratic Legislators
who organized themselves into a
secret body of spies two weeks ago
are laying plans to trap any one who
may offer inducements" for senator
ship votes caused a stir among candi-
dates and politicians. The story of
the organization of the mysterious six
was told by man who is in close
touch with the senatorship situation.
As the story goes these men, with
other legislators, heard two weeks ago
that money was to be used in the
senatorship campaign. Several of the
legislators held meeting and finally
six men were chosen to act as spies.
These men are under instructions to
accept money that may be offered to
them for their votes, but they are to
make the conditions such that when
the money is presented they will have
sufficient evidence to send to the peni
tentiary the man who offers 1t. The
identity of the men is being carefully
guarded, it is said.

Grain is now coming in quite freely

are making greater use of field bins,
