Congressman Dawson, of the Second
Iowa District, has decided to be a can
didate for reelection.
With the installation of the new re-
gime in governmental affairs in New
York City, for the first time in six
years the chief offices of the municipal
ity are not filled by men allied with the
Tammany Hall organization.
The joint committee of Congress,
composed of six Senators and six Rep
resentatives, created to investigate the
official acts of Messrs. Ballinger and
Pinchot began it's sessions. Lewis R.
CLAWS, special agent, was the first wit
ness to be examined. His testimony
raised a question of professional eth
les on the part Of Ballinger rather than
of official misconduct, the point being
that Ballinger, before becoming land
commissioner, had drawn up an agree
ment designed to convey the rights of
dummy entrants on certain public
lands in Washington to the Wilson
Coal Company. At this point CLAWS
was asked by one member of the COM
mittee to state what he intended to
prove against Ballinger. Thereupon
ing as counsel for CLAWS. said that his
client was averse to formulating a spe-
cific charge and felt that this should
be left to the committee after hearing
the testimony. He promised that the
investigation would bring out more
than was contained in the charges filed
by CLAWS with the President.
Not satisfied with what he has al
ready written about the antitrust law
and it's efficiency and the desirabiIity
of having the federal control over rail-
roads extended, President Taft is hay
ing a water power bill framed that
goes far ahead of anything that Roose-
welt conservationists ever proposed
A resolution proposing that the
House shall elect five additional mem
bers to the Committee on Rules, four
to be Republicans and one a Democrat,
and that henceforth the speaker shall
not be a member of that committee
which shall elect its own chairman.
was introduced by Representative Fow-
Ter of New Jersey.
NO you will never have an oppor-
tunity to vote for me again. I shall
not be candidate for Office" were the
words which Ex-Governor Lind penned
in reply to urgent requests that he
again enter the gubernatoriaI race in
Minnesota.
On the eve of the congressional in
vestigation into his official record, Sec
rotary Ballinger found occasion 70 get
in a sharp thrust at his adversary, Pin
chot, in an address before the Good
Government Club of Williams College.
Although no names were mentioned. it
was easy to see that Pinchot and
Roosevelt were the main targets of his
remarks

CHERRY WORK SLOW;
MEN ARE BURROW|NG
Explorers in Mine Have Penetrated
Only 400 Feet of Many Miles
Underground.
KICKING MULES TAKE LIFE.
Bodies of Animals Which Hurt Those
Trying to Escape Found-New
Timbers Placed Under Roof.

After three days of incessant labor
terranean passages of the ST. Paul
mine in Cherry, H., were open, and it
was predetermined when the 167 bodies
could be brought to the surface. Ev-
cry effort was being made to clear a
runway from the main shaft to the air
pit. Inspection of the cleared portion
Of the second level showed that from
the bottom of the main shaft $50 feet
underground, westward for $50 feet,
the main road is in good condition.
Some of the heavy timbers near the
shaft are charred, but they are solid
and intact. The main passage to the
east is walled up Behind this wall is
a smoldering fire. Back of the fire lie
about 100 dead
About $50 feet west of the shaft the
bottom level ends in blind alley, in
which lie the bodies of two mules, COW
cred with disinfectants These mules
kicked viciously at several miners as
the men ran for their lives through
the smoky passageways after the fire
started. One miner was kicked into
Inconsistencies and could not escape,
while his companion was injured so Sc
verely that he is still under the care
of surgeon
Near the end of the main road a tor
tuous runway branches off to the
south, ending in the air shaft. The
top timbers in this passage are bro
ken, letting shale rock through. Some
of the fractured scantlings appear half
rotted. Their was no fire in this tun-
mel.
AS fast as men clear the runway new
timbers are placed under the crum-
bling roof, making the ceiling so low
that man cannot stand erect Rocks
as large as a steamer trunk were piled
as high as the roof So narrow was
the tunnel and so dangerous was the
work that only two worked at a time.

TRADE AND INDUSTRY.

The 1900 miners employed at No.
colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company went on a strike to en-
force a demand for checking boss.
More pay, shorter working hours and
better working conditions are the de-
mands which Ohio miners offer for the
approval of the United Mine Workers.
Wisconsin railroads recently issued
the order that coal should have the
preference of all shipments until the
present shortage and urgent need for
coal was supplied.
Three head of HoIstein cattle were
recently sold by the College of Agricul-
ture, University of Wisconsin, to G. L.
Saito, of Tokyo, Japan, who will ship
them to his dairy farm in the vicinity
of Tokyo.
A corporation in New York capital
lied at $300,000,000, to control every
thing pertaining to the manufa cture of
women's wearing apparel, is under con-
sideration by the Associated Waist and
Dress Manufacturers.
Control Of the Fifth Avenue motor
bus line and the New York Transpor-
tation Company of New York, which
operates between 500 and 600 taxicabs,
has been acquired by the Interborough
Transit Company and the Metropolitan

Statistics prepared in the secretary's
office of the board Of trade indicate in
Duluth, Mimi, that the total shipments
of grain from that port last year wear
78,413,4O4 bushels, of which 71,941, $50
bushels were consigned to American
ports and 6,472,000 bushels to foreign
ports.
I'VE must increase production per
acre by more intelligent methods or
we must face the relentless certain
day when we shall not produce enough
food to supply our own necessities"

Central Railroad, in a recent address.
This is a reiteration of the statement
made by James ]. Hill not long ago.

Powerful foreign interests, headed by

BIG PACKING HOUSE FAILS.
Mexican National Company Is Sent
to Receiver by Banks Suspension.

The Mexican National Packing Com
pany, a New Jersey corporation con-
trolled by English investors and oper-
ating a string of slaughter-houses and
packing-houses in the Republic of Mex
leo, under concessions from the Next
can government, failed the other day
with liabilities, including stock, of ap-
proximately $37,000,O00.
The assets were not announced, but
it is estimated that they are in excess
of the liabilities. The company will
continue to operate its plants as u.s.
ual. Henry De Kay was appointed re-
ceiver by Judge Lanning in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court in New Jer-
sey.
The appointment of a receiver was
not brought about by any condition in
the live stock market, but by the ty-

The directors of the newly organ
lied National Antifood Trust League
issued from Washington an Address
to the American People" and announc-
ed that a national conference would
soon be called, to which food manufac
turers and producers as well as repre-
senta tfves of the consumer would be
invited. The address says that follow
ing the publicity given to the league
the meat boycott was begun, a result
of the spreading of its doctrine of
back to normal prices" The league
now claims to have a membership of
nearly $4,000 and aims to run it up to
a million in short order. During the
week the meat boycott has extended to
all parts of the country and already
in many cities there have been slight
decline in the price of meats and dairy
products, while many retail meat deal
ers have been compelled to go out of
business because of loss of trade.

NEW YORK.

Trade in general displays a certain
degree of quietness, not, by the way,
unusual at this, between-seasons pc
riod, but in several quarters there is
a greater disposition to act conserva-
lively in the matter of purchases. For
one thing, the agitation for lower
prices tends to the belief that quota
tons may recede to more attractive
levels, and at the same time some
large interests seem to fear inimical
action from the Federal authorities at
Washington. These factors together
with the marked weakness in the
country's leading stock market and
the natural tendency of trade to mark
time at this season of the year, tend
to a quieting of the current of trade.
There is some uneasiness over labor
matters. Business failures for the
week ending with Feb. in the United
States were 242, against 295 last
week, 286 in the like week of 1909, 272
in 1908, 1913 in 1907 and 204 in 1906.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number 80, as against 43 last
week and AZ in the like week in 1909.

DIE IN MEXICAN MINE.
Explosion in Coal Shaft Is Third
Disaster in Three Days.

One hundred are dead in the Paula
mine in Mexico across from Eagle
Pass, Texas, in the state of Coahuila,
as a result of the carelessness of a
Mexican in lighting a cigarette. Sixty
eight bodies have been taken from the
shaft. The others are buried further
in. There is no hope that any will be
found alive. Not a single man in the
mine escaped alive. One man was
brought to the surface in a conscious
condition, but died shortly thereafter.
He told of the circumstances of the
explosion. Smoking in the mine is pro-
h1bited. 1t seems as if a new miner,
not understanding the danger, SNUG
gled tobacco and matches into the
shaft when he went to work, and the
miners had been at work nearly an
hour when he struck a match to light
cigarette. Immediately the explo-
sion followed, burying alive the 100
men.
Frantic efforts were made by the
mine superintendent to rescue the men,
but the shaft was so filed that it took
hours of work to reach the chamber
where the men were confined. The ex-
plosion must have been terrific, as the
entire interior of the mine was badly
urrookod

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Liberals Will Continue to Direct
Policy of British Empire.

Policy of British Empire.
The Liberals will continue to direct
the policy of the British empire. The
lead is cut down some in the present
appeal to the voters. The last time the
Liberals had 354 over the Unionists
counting SO Irish Nationalist and SO
Laborites. Now this supremacy has
been reduced to 124, including 80 Irish
Nationalist and 26 Laborites.
The result is disappointing to the
party of progress. 1t was expected that
the Liberals would elect at least so
members more than they have and that
they would carry all the measures they
advocated through Parliament without
the aid of any other party. AS it is
now the vote is so close between them
and the Unionists that they must count
upon the Irish Nationalist or the La
borites to get certain of their bills
through. The rightful abridgment Of
the power of the House of Lords can
only be done by an alliance with the
two lesser parties. That will come, as
the Home Rulers and the Laborites are
in full accord with the proposal. The
policy of protection gets a setback be-
cause the textile centers voted over
whelmingly against it.
The granting of home rule is quite
unlikely, much as it was hoped that
this might come to pass. Premier AS
quith promised Ireland the prize it has
been vaiorously contending for, but
even he will hardly be able to gain it,
for the landlord strength among his
party is sufficient, by joining hands
with the Unionists, to prevent its con.
summation. The failure to achieve this
after the premier's pledge is most re.
grettable.
The system of labor exchanges will
be established now that the Liberals
have been continued in Office. There
will be $50 of these authorized, which
will bring labor and capital into closer
touch by providing work for idle men
in a clearing house in which the EN-.
ployer is as anxious for help as the
honest seeker for work is after en-
ployment.
