SEVEN MINERS KILLED IN
 APREMATURE EXPLOSION

Winderber, Pa, April 10-Seven mi- Ders were killed. several slightly injured and many narrowly escaped as a result of premature explosion of dynamite in mine Number 37 of the Berwind-Wite Coal Company .onc half mile from here last evening. Early today all the dead have been spectos Blower. of the Sixth district there are no more victims in the wreck. The dead:
 Michael Gibson. William Gibson, his son, Steve Nemis. Arthur Custer. Three foreigners.
 A small number of miners were slightly injured in the explosion. among them being two sons of Michael Gibson who. with his son William. met death.
 The explosion occurred just as the day shift was going off duty and the fact that the death list Is not larger Is accounted for by the fact that the men were near the mine mouth and had to make but a short dash foI safety. The dead and injured were part of a party of twelve miners who had been working drilling holes pre- paratory to setting off shots. Laying about them were about 200 sticks of dynamite. 2 Six holes had been drilled. the chaf . ges sent nome and the electric wires. stretching out the mine 500 feet. which are used to explode the sticks. had been attached. As is customary. inc men had been warned. and 1t was thought had gone toward the mine entrance and were beyond the danger point.
 with the day shift nearly out, the current was switched on. There was an explosion and then within the space of few seconde there followed a second blast. It was this last that caused the fatalities.
 As soon as 1t was safe to enter. res cue parties under Superintendent w. T. Calverty. Mine Inspector Blower, Mine Foreman Edward Jones. and As- sistAnt Mine Foreman Harvey Burk- heimer and Robert Hunter. made their way to the aid of their entombed com- radea.
 The lass three men were overcome and had to be carried from the mine.
 Early today the rescuers reached the fourth heading and recovered the seven dead.

TAGGING MANUFACTURERS CnHTT> } sIsIcs SENATE.
'Andersoa Grnts wnI Take His Vigh6 to Floor of senate-Many Iet-
 tern Fer Dankhead anA
 .xohpstOu.

E Washington, D. C., April 1o-- Especial. )--It is learned on good au- thority that Senator, Aidrich and other Republican members of the senate finance committee. have turned down flat several men permanently connect- ed with the bagging industry who have been here for some days asking that the duty on bagging. hemp, twfne etc. be increased.
 Mir. Aldrich, is said to have candidIy informed Anderson Gratz, of New York; and St. Louis. that for political reasons the duty on these articles will have to remain as fixed in the Payne bill which passed the house last night, that to grant the favors asked by Mir. Gratz. would not be tolerated by the farmers and planters and that bagging. twines and bags could not be protected any higher
 Mir. Gratz isc reauted to have lost his temper and to have plainly informed Senator Aidrich. that from a political standpoint. he did not believe the littie state of Rhode Island should be per- mltted, to run the country.
 As previously mentioned in these dis patches the bagging mill people claim they can not compete with the mills in India unless they are given greater protection In the tariff bill.
 It is understood the mill owners will carry their fight for higher duties to the floor of the Senate.
 The mall of Senators Bankhead and Johnston. is growing heavier as the time approaches for the tafiff bill to be reported to the Senate.
 The letters being received now rs-. late largely to hosiery. The writers request them to use their influence to have these duties increased. They also continue to receive from their Alabama constituents many additional requests that hides be placed on the free list and that the lumber duties be increas- ed over the rates fixed in the Payne bill as ft passed the House.
 Soiife of the writers say they will be satisfied If the Alabama Senators will do what they can to prevent any fur ther cut in the lumber duties, they having evidently feared that rough lumber might be put on the free list as was proposed fin the amendment of- fered In the House by Representatives Tawney. of Minnesota.
 A number of letters have also coma in from Alabama publishers in regard to wood pulp and print paper asking that pulp go on the free list and fhac duty on paper be materially reduced
 Senator Culberson. minority leader oe the Senate. from what he can gather. thinks the Republicans will report tho tarin bill probably by Monday or Tuss- day and that It's consideration is likely to commepce by Thursday.

CONGRESS
Summary of Senate.

Washington, April 1G-The bill to provide for taking of the next census was passed by the Senate today in a form which, 1t is understood. will meet the views of the President regarding appointments for census work under regulations by the Civil Service Com mission. Efforts by some Senator's to allow these appointments to be made upon recommendation of Senators and Representatives without examinat ton received but slight support.
 The interesting feature was @ speech by MT. Bailey, who said it was re- ported that if the bill as passed did not provide for appointments under the eiVll serssos: the. ,g .s's wou.d ees" s., were made 1t would stir up severe criticism of the President.

 ''Where was when Harry was shot! Well will tell you all I can. On the Saturday before Harry's death I had When I came home I left my good clothes in the east room up stairs. came down in the morning and liar ry was still wrangling. I was excited and don't remember what was said. Father told me to go up stairs and keep still. was hurt and went away.
 T went first Into the east room up stairs and stood by the window. l saw rather drive out of the yard. I put away. the clothes I had worn to Rochester and went into the front IOVius IL WYE tnSfC . hV1Ao shO os"- cry It was about 6 o'clock. ran down stairs as fast as could and saw Harry lying op the floor. He could not speak to me. Yop know the rest
 .T am innocent Of any wrong In connection with my husbands death. 1 never wronged him in my life. sfaved fot him. raised chickens to help him. raked hay with him to save expenses and loved him more than my life. His memory is as dear to me today as anything have left on earth.
 Tt almost broke my heart to s-e my father and mother put to the grief of this trial. My, dear mother was too i'll to stand 1t. She Is the dearest mother in he. world. I

BUTTON MAKERS STRIKE.
situation at Meru Enters UpeE Critical

Meru, France. April s10.--The strike of the button makers of Meru has en- tered upon a critical phase. All the departmental authorities are hurryins in here and endorsements of offcavalry and gendarmes are conaing by every train Many arrests~ have been made, but further trouble is expected. Agi- tators who came down from Paris harangued the. mob. after which the strikers screamed and wrecked four button factories and practically de- stroyed the residences of their former employers.
 The trouble arises from reduction of 80 per cent in wages made by the ern- pioyers' organization owing to the competition of Japan, where mother Of pearl is very cheap, which made 1t iIn- possible to continue the present wage scale. The employers say they will close their establishments rather than go back to the old scale.
