Labor Leaders See Roosevelt in Be-

Washington, Jan. 15.-President
Roosevelt and the members of the ex-
ecutive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor had long confer
ence upon the subject of the right of
asylum in the United Staks for po-
litical refugees and went into num-
Der of cases now pending before the
state department. The labor leaders
present were Samuel Gompers, Frank
Morrison, John B. Lennon, James
Duncan, John Mitchell, James O'Con-
nell, Max Morris, D. A. Hayes, Will
lam D. Huber, John F. Valentine and
John r. Alpine.
The facts in the specific cases taken
up were laid before the president in
written form, so that he. might digest
the arguments of the labor represent
tatives. What are known as the Mex.
lean extradition cases, for alleged
breach of neutrality laws, and the
case of Jan Pouren were particularly
gone into. The case Of Rudowitz and
one or two others were overlooked,
but will be submitted by letter.
In the Mexican cases the allegation
was made that the Mexican govern
rnent had succeeded in persuading the
American authorities to hold the pris-
cners on criminal charges, which were
trumped up for the purpose.

ESTIMATE OF DEAD
REMAINS UNCHANGED
About One Hundred PeIIshed In
Lick Branch Mine.

Bluefeld, W. Va, Jan. 1l.-Rescue
crews worked necessarily all night at
Lick Branch coal mine, the scene OF
the recent explosion, and SO far TWEEN
ty-six bodies have been recovered.
There is no change in the estimate of
dead, the number ranging from eighty
five to hundred Identifications pro-
ceeded slowly throughout the night,
as but few were present at the morgue
on account of the cold.
It is not likely that any more bodies
will be brought to the surface for
some hours, although brattice and
rescue crews will work continually,
re1aying every few hours with fresh
forces of men, who have volunteered
from all over the coal field. It is
learned that the company has ordered
eighty caskets and robes.
One of the remarkable features of
the accident is the miraculous escape
Of Cleveland Bowers, mine foreman,
who crawled on his hands and knees
from the mine, while fire, smoke and
gases belched forth over him. Bow

surface alive and although he lies in

The Children's Friend.

Mr.. c., distinguished lawyer of
Boston, was on his way to Denver to
transact some important business.
During the afternoon he noticed in the
opposite section Of the Pullman a
sweet faced, tired appearing woman
travelling with four small children.
Being fond Of children and feeling
sorry for the mother, he soon made
friends with the little ones. Early
the next morning he heard their eager
questions and the patient Eyes, DEAR"
Of the mother as she tried to dress
them, and, looking out, he saw small
white foot protruding beyond the op-
posite curtain. Reaching across the
aisle, he took hold Of the large toe
and began to recite, ''This little pig
went to market; this little pig stayed
at home" The foot was suddenly
withdrawn, and cold, quiet voice
said, "That is quite sufficient, thank
you"
Mr.. O. hastily withdrew to the
smoker, where he remained until the
train arrived in Denver.-Good House

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1 "A. P.
Peake of Valley City, commanding
the state infantry regiment and for
the past few days acting adjutant
general, was appointed and commits.
stoned adjutant general by Governor
Burke, vice T. H. Poole, retired by
the governor in pursuance of law.
Poole has resisted this retirement
and refused to turn over the books
and papers of his Office, claiming his
appointment was for life by virtue of
constitutional provision, which he
construes favorable to his contention
and which will undoubtedly be decid-
ed by the supreme court. Interest in
Peake's appointment is intensified be-
cause it is in direct conflict with a
temporary restraining order of the
district court, which has been invoked
by Poole, Peake being ordered to re-
frain from attempting to act as adju-
tant general or interfere with Poole.
Governor Burke holds the court has
no authority to interfere with men
under military orders, the constitu-
ton exempting them from civil pro-
cess.

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to
the fact that the little kidney troubles
are usually neglected until they be-

give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer goes gradually into the
grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's
Disease, gravel or some other serious
form Of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney
secretions are irregular of passage
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they cure
where others fail. Over one hundred
