Ten Thousand Follow CleveIanSers
i'm Trying to Live Like Christ.
The movement begun on recent Sur
day by 1.SO0 young people of Cleveland
to live for two weeks as Jesus would,
has assumed scope far beyond the expec-
tations of its promoters. 1t is citywide
and is spreading to nearby towns. Fully
10000 volunteers have unofficially joined
the movement by attempting the test and
pledging themselves to walk in His steps.
Even the city officials are taking an in
terest in the question of what Jesus
would do if He were city official. Many
interesting experiences have been related
by those who have completed the first
weeks test. Some claim they cannot carry
the practice into business. Others say
they can. The test also has brought out
host of critics. some praising, others
condemning the idea. Church people are
encouraging the trial and pleading for its
continuance. The scoffers say the effort,
which is being made mostly by church
members, should be unnecessary, as it i'm
plies past hypocrisy.

CONGRESS HURLS BACK
PRESIDENTS BIG STICK
Special Committee of House Pre-
sents Report Refusing to Ac-
cept Roosevelt's Attack.
REPLY vITRIoLIC IN EXTREME.
Charges Are Termed Disrespectful
Dangerous to Destroy Conf
dence in Lawmakers"

Congress has hurled the big stick
House Of Representatives Thursday af-
ternoon bitter attack was made on
the chief executive. A special commit
tee appointed to deal with the Presi-
dents message on the secret service,
submitted Monday, brought in its re-
port, which is vitriolic in the extreme.
The report and the resolution accom-
panying it were thought likely to make
the President furious, for they say in
effect:
Portions of ths message are beneath
the dignity of Congress and should not
be received
These portions constitute breach
OF the privileges of the house.
1T is dangerous to the republic that
the confidence of the people should be
Impaired in those who enact the laws,
and it is for this reason that the duty
evolves on the lawmakers not to allow
the integrity of their motives to be
lightly questioned.
Be it resolved, That the House in
the exercise of its constitutional prerog-
atives declines to consider any commu-
nication from any source which is not
in its own judgment respectful"
The committee caused a sensation by
its recommendation that the objection
able portion of the Presidents annual
message be laid on the table" and that
similar action be taken with respect to
the message of last Monday because of
Its being 'unresponsive to the inquiry
of the house" as to what the President
meant when he said, referring to the
limitation placed on the field of opera
lions of the secret service, that the
chief argument in favor of the provis-
ion was that the Congressman did not
themselves wish to be investigated"
When Chairman Perkins of the Spe-
cial committee arose to make his re-
port, he faced an almost full member
ship, while the galleries were packed
with interested spectators. Messrs
Tawney, Smith of Iowa, Sherley and
Fitzgerald were on the floor prepared
to resent what they deemed to be the
insinuations of the President on them
as members of the committee on appro-
priations They were not alone in their
indignation. The feelings OF other men,
bers had been growing more intense.

MINE EXPLOSION KILLS a.
Mysterious Blast Not Felt on Surface
Takes Toll in Human Life.

The series of mishaps in Joe Letters
famous million-dollar colliery at Zieg-
Ter, ILL.,, during the last few years
reached . climax shortly after 1 o'clock
Sunday morning when a mysterious O.
plosion killed twenry-four men. Nine
teen bodies have been recovered, five
are missing and are undoubtedly dead
and two are injured critically. This
is the second serious disaster in the
Ziegler Coal Company's property which
has been the scene of several minor
fatalities and where for hlc-e than two
years a desperate LABOR war was waged
as the result of a strike. An explosion
in 1905 killed thirty-tiye men at work
in the mine.
Joseph Letter and his bride of half
year were there when the explosion
happened, having come to town several
weeks ago to direct the fight on fire
in the workings which, after a long
battle, was got under control Friday
night The first coal hoisted out of
the shaft in more than six weeks was
brought up Saturday, and it was ex-
pected to put the full force of men TO
work during the next few days
The explosion was remarkable in
that except for the many dead it left
scarcely a trace of its work, and the
interior of the mine shows no sign OF
damage.
No sound was heard by the residents
of Zeigler TO warn of the disaster al
most beneath their feet, and even those
at the mouth of the shaft at first did
not realize what had happened deep in
the workings.
\ small puff Of black smoke was seen
to issue from the mouth of the mine,
but it soon dissipated in the air. The
engineer, who saw the smoke, feared
something was wrong, and, summoning
assistance, an investigation was begun.
Men were sent down the shaft ard
there discovered what had happened.
Scattered through the workings where
they had been engaged were found the
members of the night shift of miners,
all dead but two. Many of the bodies
brought from the mine were mutilated
almost beyond recognition, Two of the
victims were natives of Franklin Coun-
ty and a majority of the others were
of foreign birth.
The exact cause of the explosion, It
is hoped, will be disclosed by thor
ough inquiry, but at present it is
shrouded in mystery, for to all appear
ances the workings had never been in
better condition than Saturday and no
gas was apparent or suspected.
