New Castle, England Especially -
A terrible disaster has occurred at
West Stanley, a small mining town
IL miles distant, in which 1t is fear
ed 1876 lives have been lost. There
were two explosions at o'clock P.
NJ, in the West Stanley colliery,
which employs 400 men. There were
1876 men and boys in the pit at the

it is supposed that these are from

death from the explosion and the
fire which followed it,
Almost Immediately after the ex.

shaft, scorching the workers at the
pit head and blowing out the fenc-

the mine. The flames spread rapid

cuing party to descend into the
workings. Thousands of anxious
people gathered at the mouth of the
pit, but for hours the fire burned
furiously. At midnight it was still
impossible to attempt a rescue, and
it will be many hours before the
entrance is cleared. An explosion in

Washington, d. c. (SpeciaI -
An acrid exchange of words took
place in the Senate between Mr..
Lafollette, who was criticising meth
DDS of that body in the handling Of
appropriation bills, and Mr.. Penrose,
chairman of the Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads, who was in
charge of the Postofiice Bill, then un-
der discussion. The colloquy was
rendered almost tragic by the angry
tones and fiery attitude assumed by
the Senator from Pennsylvania as he
denounced the Senator from Wiscon-
sin, who stood quietly at his place on
the other side of the chamber star
ing back at his big antagonist.
The day had begun by Lafollette
asking that the Postoffice Bill be al
lowed to go over, as ii had just been
reported from the committee and he
had had no time in which to examine
it. Mr.. Penrose had resisted this re-
quest by saying that he would eX-
plain all amendments which had been
suggested by his committee. Mr..
Penrose had moved that the bill be
taken up and il was laid before the
Senate, the Senator from Wisconsin
demanding the full reading of the
text of the bill. Later Mr.. Lafollette,
addressing himself at length to the
measure and severely arraignlng the
Senate for permitting legislation to
accumulate until the last days of the
session, when, he declared, important
bills were rushed through with little
or no time for Senators to under
stand them.
"My observation is that these ap-
preparation bills get in here about
as late for the long session as they
do for the short session." said Mr.
Lafollette. "It seems to be part
portant legislative acts shall have
little consideration" He charged
that important legislation was placed
on these measures and passed when
it could not pass as a separate bill.
He said, also, that the salary in
creases for the judiciary, for the high
executive Offices and for the Vice
President and the Speaker of the
House had been put through in that
way, and he insisted that committees
unduly delayed bills which might be
reported earlier, so that the Senate
would have more opportunity TO
study and understand them. He de-
clared that if the Senator from Penn
sylvania had attended the sessions
earlier his committee might have
made a report more promptly. He
added that the important legislation
of Congress was in the hands OF
seven committees, while over so
Senators were not assigned to any
committees that have business. He
took occasion 10 say that he hoped
the tariff bill would not be put
through on a CREASED runway"
81 do not see," he continued, "thst
1t would be such a terrible calamity
to the country If the discussion of
these bills should carry some of them
over to an extra session. know
that If appropriation bills are dis
posed of at this time there will not
be any reorganization OF committees
at this time, and various impOgtan.
legislation outside of appropriation
bills must go over to another ses-
sion of Congress" In the midst of
his speech Senator Penrose interrupt
ed to ask the Senator from Wisconsin
whether "he was delivering his reg
ular lecture" adding that he thought
he had heard II all before.

FOR DEPENDENT CHILDREN
President Roosevelt Recommends
Much For Unfortunates.
Report of National Conference at
White House Sent To Law
Makers.

Washington, D. C. Especially Coy
ernmental assistance in the care of
dependent children was the appeal
urged on Congress In a special mes
sage from the President.
The message embodies the results
of the recent conference on the care
of dependent children which assem-
bled at the White House at the Presi-
dents invitation.
1t recommends the establishment
of children's bureau in the Depart
ment of the Interior, to investigate
the welfare of the young, infant NOR
tality, rate of degeneracy, employ
ment, and all matters affecting the
children of the country. There are
few things" says the message in this
connection, more vital TO the well
fare OF the nation than accurate and
dependable knowledge of the best
methods of dealing with children"
The President suggests also that
Congress set an example to states in
enacting laws for the District of Co.
lumbia and the territories. 81 deem
such legislation" the President says
in closing, mot only important for
the welfare of the children immedi-
ately concerned, but important as
setting an example of high standard
of child protection by the national
government to the several states of
the Union, which should be able 10
look to the nation for leadership in
such matters"
With the message the President al
so submitted to Congress a letter by
the resolutions committee of the con-
ference, containing the recommenda-
tions of that body One of the most
important of these is that of child
caring agencies for a national asso-
citation.
