New York Telegram Says Road Has
Not Been Disposed of.

A telegram was sent by Lexington
newspaper to j. Kennedy Tod, who
owns the stock of the Lexington &
Eastern Railway Company, asking If
the reports that the road had been
sold were true, and if so, to whom.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Arthur Cary,
the president of the Lexington &
Eastern, received from j. Kennedy
Tod telegram saying that the road
has not been sold and has not been
offered for sale. which.sets at rest all
the rumors which have been current
for the last few days in regard to the
sale of this road.
1t is suggested that the rumors first
arose from the reported sale of the
Louisville & Eastern, an electric line
running from Louisville to Shelbyville
which is known in Louisville as the
L. & E., as the Lexington & Eastern
is known In the mountains as the
L. & E., and that the confusion of the
two roads gave rise to the reports
which were published some days ago.

teen men are dead as the result of
an explosion in the Number 2 Short
Creek mines of the Birmingham Coal
and Iron company. Five of the dead
are white and twelve are negroes.
The explosion is thought to have
been caused by a windy shaft. The
mines are about ten miles west of
Ensley, on the Birmingham Southern
railroad, and are difficult of access.
The bodies were taken from the
mines and the rooms and passages
have been cleared. The mine itself
Is practically uninjured.
Alex Bonneyman, general manager
or the company, was among the first
to leave Birmingham for the scene of
the disaster, although mine inspec-
ors Hillhouse and Flynn hurried to
the scene to render what aid they
could and to make an inspection.
Officials of the company did not know
the exact number of men in the mine
at the time of the accident, but they
now state that II fatalities will be

Ambulances were sent from Ensley
to the mines and collins will be
rushed out to the Inflated mine. The
was running on short force or the
death list would probably have been
much larger.

SEE HAND OF
CORPORATIONS
Anti Jap Agitation Traced to Source
Fear Loss of Bus
mess.

Washington, Feb. 3.-No single
question, nor indeed, any group of
questions is absorbing the interest
and concern of the administration at
this moment to the same extent as
certain Of the phases of the anti
Japanese agitation in California The
president has been in communication
with many reputable persons who
should be thoroughly informed as to
the conditions on the Pacific coast.
1t is admitted that a systematic agi-
tation was in progress on the coast,
but significant feature of its lack
OF strength was the fact that the Ia
Dor leaders had taken no prominent
part in it. Indeed it has been stated
to the administration that the real
handspring of the agitation was to be
found in some of the great corpora
lions tina had found their profitable
business of coolie transportation
threatened with destruction by the
success attending the efforts of the
administration to stop tbs class Of
immigration. For the fact Is. that in
the opinion Of the administration the
negotiations with Japan for a practi-
cally complete closure of American
ports to the entry Of Japanese lobor-
ers are certainly jeopardized by the
extreme utterances Of certain persons
In California and by the mere consid-
Grafton of such resolutions as were
entertained by the Nevada legisIa-
ture.
Even agreements already reached,
which are being carried out in per-
feet good faith on the part of the
Japanese government are endangered
IN the sense that the present agita-
ton might very naturally tend to
abate the interest of the Japanese Of
fcials in the execution of their obi
cations in view of the unfriendly atti
tude assumed by some elements on
the pacific coast 1t is these consid-
erations that have Influenced the
president in reaching the conclusion
that everything possible should be
OOuC " prevent Iu6 enactment OF
legislation by any state that would
discriminate against the Japanese as
class apart from other foreign ele-
ments entering America.
There is no objection whatever by
the administration to laws prohibiting
all aliens from holding land in Amer
lea. For this is now, under the re-
vised statutes, the law in the district
OF Columbia and the territories and
some Of the states. Indeed, there Is
q similar law in Japan and the gov
eminent of that country consequently
could not regard 1t as anti-Japanese
legislation if adopted in California.
The president has entire confidence
In the people of the Pacific coast and
is certain they will do right in this
matter.
The administration is much pleased
with the tone of the speech of Pre-
mier Komura in the Japanese diet so
far as it touched upon the relations
between America and Japan.

TO SETiASIDE WILL
OF MRS. SOWELL
HEIRS OF WOMAN WHO DIED BE-
FORE HUSBAND FILE BILL IN
COUNTY COURT.

A bin has been filed in the County
Court, seeking to set aside the win of
the late Mrs. LavOnia sowell. wife
Of Thomas c. sowelI. Mrs. sowell
made a will leaving all her prop
erty of her husband. Mr.. Sowell
made a viii leaving all his property
to his wife. The couple made their
home at Neapolis and the wife died
Just two hours before her husband.
Though the wills were written some
time before their death. one of the
causes assigned for setting the win
aside was that Mrs. Sowell was
not competent to make a will at the
time her will was written. The couple
had no children, hence the heirs OF
Mrs. Sowell are different persons
from the heirs of her husband.

MOTHER, FATHER AND SIS
TER TO THE GRAVE.

A sad death occurred Monday at the
Guest House, when Miss Willie Bait

until about two years ago at Mt.

fell victim to consumption. which
within brief time had claimed her
father, mother and one sister. She
went to Denver, Colorado for the eli
mate, but was not greatly benefited,
and wishing to spend her last days
in her own home she started for Mt.
Pleasant without notifying any of her
relatives at the time of her departure.
She was almost in a dying state when
she reached Columbia and was not
able to continue her journey, but was
taken to the Guest House, where the
end soon arrived. Services were
conducted at 1880 o'clock Tuesday at
the cemetery at Mt Pleasant by Rev.

was the statement Of Congressman
Theodore Burton, of Cleveland, upon
his arrival here late last afternoon to
speak tonight before the Wholesale
Merchants & Manufacturers Board
Of the Toledo Chamber OF Commerce
at the Hotel Secor.
The Congressman would say no
more about the fight now on in Ohio as
to who will succeed Joseph B. For
aker in the Senate, but his manner Is
extremely hopeful. At midnight Mr..
Burton left Toledo for Columbus,
where he will remain during the last
days Of the contest, which will be
decided soon after the Ohio Legisla-
.ture meets, Jan. IL.
Els address at the banquet was
free from politics, but the Congress-
man took occasion to make reference
to the political bosses, which. in view
of the charges of bossism being made
in the Senatorial campaign. were re-
ceived with interest.
