California track team and present
holder of the all-round athletic cham
plonship of the Pacific coast, was badly
wounded today while subduing Charles
Anderson, a negro porter at the lodging
house where Mum lives. Anderson was
armed with a butcher knife and Mum
with an ak. and although a thrust from
the knife passed within an inch of his
heart Mum succeeded in binding the
negro with rope before he tainted
from loss of blood. Mum will probably
recover.
Anderson raised a disturbance about
the lodging house today and several
woman dodgers .became frightened and
appealed to Mum to suppress the
negro.
When the porter refused to be quiet
Mum threatened him with an ak. An
derson rushed at the athlete with a
butcher knife, stabbing him In the
breast Catching the weapon with his
hand, Mum wrested it from the negro s
grasp, although his fingers were nearly
severed from his hand. Mum had
hardly succeeded in binding the porter
when he tainted from loss Of blood.

~ Winkelman, which has Just ar
~ rived at Mukilteo, Wash, from the
Friendly and Tonga islands in the
/ South Seas, brings details of the mur-
der and eating by cannibals on Savage
! island. near the Tongas, of Rev. Hora-
ito Hopkins and his assistant Rev.
| Hector Laurie Mcpherson, missionaries
of the Presbyterian Polynesian mission.
February .. as already cabled. While
the barkentine lay at Tangatabu, in
the Tonga islands, canoe load of mis-
sion natives from the Savage island ar
rived at Eua, bringing news of the
butchery.
The natives said that Hopkins and
Mcpherson were teaching in the mis-
sion building. which stands on the
beach in the little harbOr of Savage is
land, when 200 of the unconverted saw
ages, bowling war cries and brandish-
ing clubs and spears, descended on
their quarters and took every one pris-
oncr. The missionaries had about a
score Of converts undergoing training
at the time, and only nine converts es-
capped. Both missionaries were bound
with thongs and were left lying on the
beach in the tropical sun for several
hours while the savages took the ma
tive captives inland.
The cannibals on returning TO the
beach carried the missionaries on lit
ter to the crater of the extinct volcano
Naniue, i'm the center of the islands.
There for two days and nights they
held a corrobOree, and. at times could
be seen plainly dancing and reveling
by the fugitive mission natives as they
stole along the shore.
While most of the cannibals were
sleeping an opportunity came to the
captive natives to escape. Their goins
was hastened by the sight of two Of
the eannibal chiefs donning the mis-
sionaries' clothes. The clergymen al
ready had been eaten.
The Winkelman brings news Of a
general revival Of the old-time religious
customs Of the Tonga, Society solomon
and Cook groups The natives are
holding dances and feastng on human
flesh as they did in the days before the
white man interfered with their happi-
ness.

PLYMOUTH ROCK A FAKE!
WHAT ABOUT THE HENS?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April %
President Lowell of Harvard univer-
sity has stirred up a hornets nest by
questioning, in the most casual man
ner, the historic authenticity Of Ply
mouth Rock, and Washington elm.
Speaking last night to a gathering
of Boston school teachers, he touched
upon the proposals for entertaining
President Taft and other visitors who
will attend the convention Of the Ma
tional Educational association here in
July.
He said the convention would be a
failure if the entertainment committee
only showed the chief executive places
like Plymouth Rock-if there is a

elm-if, indeed, Washington had any
thing to do with the Washington elm"

OYSTER BAY BACK ON MAP
AND WORRYING ABOUT T. R.
Wants to Get Former President
in Town Census

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. April 20
Theodore Roosevelt. although our most
representative citizen" in President
Tafts estimation, may not be enum-
Grated in the census of 1910, despite
the zeal and intelligence of the enum-
orators.
This result Is likely from the fact
that the Roosevelt home here. the legal
residence Of the colonel, is closed and
every member of the family is away.
There are not even any servants IN
the house. and the neghbors cannot
answer the questions of the enumera-
tors, as some Of them concern family
history.
There is also universal doubt here
as to what IS the colonels present
trade or profession
BY a coincidence, another Theodore
Roosevelt" was enumerated during the
canvass in this vicinity. He was a
tramp, whose place Of residence is
given as "homeless.'

Work at every mine in the vi,

Work at every mine in the vi
cinity of Providence was sus-
pended today and the miners
ga hered around the wreckage
to assist in the rescue work.
The families Of the victims are
being cared for by officials OF
the mine and everything is being
done for their comfort.
AS soon as the wreckage is
cleared away the company will
start an investigation to deter.
mine the cause of the explosion.
According to the to the officials
of the company all precautions
were taken to prevent a disaster
like that of Friday afternoon,
and they are at a loss to know
what was the direct cause of the
accident.
The dead miners are: Wesley
Fugate, white, so: married, wife
and seven children. Edward
Vaughn, %, unmarried. Cissel
Shackleford, calored, 40, unmar-
ried. John Voolfolk. colored,
27, wife and yne child. Willis

five children. George johnson

rem. Coley johnson, colored,
ten years of age. Coleman
Northfleet, colored, 80, married
Louis Lyon, 40, wife and four
children. Hope Shelton. AZ, wife
and three children.
When the bodies were remov-
ed they placed on mattresses and
carried to an undertaking estab-
lisment where Coroner Doris
held inquests. the verdict of
the jury was that the men came
to their death in an expl osion
of mine No. 3, of the Providence
Coal Co., cause unknown.
The scene at the mine when
the bodies were being brought
to the surface was pathetic in
the extreme. The wives and
children of the dead men re-
manned around the shaft all
night hoping and praying that
their loved ones had escaped.
But their hopes were shattered
when the first body was raised
to the ground. They then real
lied that all had been killed and
the frantic grief of the wives
and children caused men with
strong hearts to weep and leave
the scene.

6 O'Clock this morning on a spec
ial mine rescue demonstration car
from Linton. Ind, where the
corps has been on a tour through
Southern Indiana coal regions
instructing the miners and offic-
ials.
AT Z o'clock three members of
the rescue party were lowered
into the mine by a windlass erect
ed during the night by the coal
company. The experts, wearing
helmets and other apparatus used
in the perilous work, were low
cred without difficulty. They
found the body of Edward
Vaughn near the bottom of the
shaft. Ropes were tied around
it and it was hoisted to the sur-
face. Two negro bodies were
next recovered. These were
found several feet back from the
opening.
Several miners were lowered
in the mine to assist the experts
but owing to the foul gases that
filled the shaft they had to be
hoisted to the surface.
The experts worked like Tro-
jams before recovered the other
bodies. Great masses of debris
had to be removed before all the
rooms could be explored. Twen-
ty feet back from the body Of the
shaft the passage was completely
stopped with slate. nine timbers
and debris. This had to be re-
moved, reqniring several hours
of diligent work with the pick
and shovel.
The experts discovered that
the explosion was immediately
followed by a flow of black damp.
To overcame this, all engines
we're put to work pumping fresh
air into the shaft. Before all
bodies were recovered this was
allaved and miners went down |
and rendered great assistance to
The experts.
The cause of the catastrophe |
was an explosion of gases. |
Twenty men had been at work
IN the day shift but ten of them
had left shortly before the disas-
;er. All miners had left shots
md it is supposed that one of
'hots was premature, which
opened a vein of gas. or else ig-
lited an accumulation Of gases in
he entries.
The whole population of Prov
denc and surrounding county
locked to the scene shortly after
he accident and began to assist
n the rescue of the unfortu nate
nen. Guards were placed around
he mihe and with much difficulty
he crowds were kept back. y
