not guilty. Browne was &C
cused of bribing the legislature

CHEER THE VERDICT.
The reading of the verdict

friends of Browne, who turned
to his attorney, Erbstein, threw
his arms around his neck, and
for a moment they embraced.
Brownies friends hoisted

AUTO COLLIDES
WITH ORE TRAIN
Three Burned to Death by Molten
Metal in Strange Accident at
Chicago.

Chicago, Sept 9.-Two women and
a ton or more of molten Stag last
night, when an automobile containing
four persons crashed into an ore train
coming from the Illinois Steel COM
pany plant at One Hundred and Fourth
street and the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific railroad tracks, South Chicago.
Mrs. Anna Baker, the fourth occu-
pant of the car, had a narrowing ex-
perience, but escaped with her life.
She was the only person to jump from
the car before the machine dashed into
the train, and broke a tendon in her
right foot. Hardly able to move, the
woman dragged herself, inch by inch
from the stream of molten metal that
rushed toward her when the caldrons
were overturned. Just as the woman,
exhausted by the pain, tainted, the flow
of metal lost it's velocity and stopped,
kissing on the ground few inches
from her PROSTATE body

NINE OTHERS INJURED
Naval Authorities Unable as Yet to
Ascertain the Cause of the
Accident.

Newport News, Va, Sept. SAC
cording to men landing at Old Point
from the battleship three men who met
death aboard the North Dakota yes
terday were not killed by the explo-
sion, but were drowned when the fire
room was flooded to prevent the
spread of the flames and the explosion
of the magazine, located just over the
fire. The bodies were recovered when
the compartment was pumped out.
But Three Killed.
Fort Monroe, Va, Sept. 9.-Another
of those tragedies which go to show
that the sailor offers his life to his
country in time of peace as well as in
time of war was enacted yesterday on
the dreadnought North Dakota. when
about II miles from Old Point in lower
Chesapeake bay, an explosion of fuel
oil and the ensuing fire cost the lives
of three men and more or less serious
injuries to nine others, including Chief
Lieutenant Orin G. Murphin.
The accident happened far from any
shore. and for several hours the wild
est rumors circulated through the COM
munities. that having widest circula-
tion being to the effect that the Della
ware, sister ship of the North Dakota,
had been blown up.
Report Gives the Dead.
The Official report of Admiral Schroe-
der to the navy department named the
following dead and injured in the fire
on the battleship North Dakota:

coal on the market to nearly IL cents
per ton.
Many Now Employed.
OF the $4,000 miners who quit work
April 1 more than $4,000 already have
signed up and resumed work. The
balance will begin active work as soon
as the mines can be pumped out and
put into condition for operation. 1t is
thought that by the middle of next
week every mine in the state will be
in full operation.
In addition to general bettering of
working conditions and installation of
safety devices demanded by the men,
the operators have agreed to pay the
full cost of the shot firers, provided it
does not exceed the cost of last year,
plus 5.55 per cent allowed to all day
labor
Get More Pay.
The wage increase will give a hori-
zontal raise to all miners throughout
the state averaging cents per ton. In
Franklin and Williamson counties the
men will receive cents. In the north
ern fields a scent advance has been
granted. Practically every demand
framed up by the miners at their con-
ference in Peoria last May, and which
has been the basis Of all the present
negotiations, has been granted by the
operators. Day workmen will be given
an increase of 5.55 per cent. Five
cents per ton for mining lump coal will
be granted, while all mine run coal
will cost the operators 3 cents ton
more than formerly.
1t is estimated that the strike has
caused shortage of at least 20,000,000
tons; loss in wages amounting to
$15,O00,0 900, and a net loss to the oper-
ators of nearly $1O,000,000.

BALLINCER SUPPORTERS REMAIN
AWAY FROM COMMITTEE MEETING

Minneapolis, MINI, Sept. 9.-But six
members of the BallingerPinchot in
vestigating committee, one less than a
quorum, were present when the ses-
sion opened today. Sutherland of
Utah: Mccall Of Massachusetts and
DENLY of Michigan, republicans, re-
fused to attend the meeting.
Sign the Findings.
Soon after entering the committee
room the democratic members af-
fixed their signatures to the findings
which condemn Ballinger as pub
lie officer and vindicate Pinchot.
Madison prepared an Independent re-
port. which favors Pinchot and it
was brought to the committee room.
Chairman Leaves Room.
Secretary Sleman, delegated as
sergeant-at-arms, twice requested
the attendance of the absentees. but
they refused to pay any attention te
the summons Chairman Nelson
suggested that adjournment be taken
until Monday to meet in Chicago, but
no action was taken on the PROPOSE
ton. Nelson soon after left the
room.
Calls Another Meeting.
Later Chairman Nelson sent notice
calling a meeting of the committee in
Chicago Sept. IS. The members in
session contend Nelson has absolutely
no authority to issue such notice.
OImstead ON Way.
Representative Olmstead of Penn
syIvania, (Rep) is expected to ar
rive tonight, and it is thought GER
tain that quorum will remain
broken until he can attend.
The presence of Olmstead and
DENLY would give the republicans
five votes on any question. The dem
ocrats feel certain they can obtain

surgent republican from Kansas. who

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The fate of Lee
O'Neil Browne, of Ottawa, ILL.,, charged
with Bribery In connection with the
election of William Lorimer to the
senate reached the hands of the jury
at $3.50 yesterday afternoon. The at
torneys for Browne declared that the
instructions of Judge Kersten were
decidedly in favor of Browne.
Kersten told the jurymen to avoid
considering their suspicious and to
remember that the defendant was
charged with bribing Representative
Charles A. White and not Represen-
tatives Breckenridge and Link, both
of whom testified to receiving money
for their votes; to avoid the testimony
of White, where it is not corroborated
and to return a verdict of not guilty

judicial tribunal of the country.
Slated for Supreme Court.
Bowers figured conspicuously in the
the vacancies in the supreme court of
the United States and was even seri-
ously discussed with Governor Hughes

chief justiceship. The president had
made no secret of his intention to ap-
point Bowers to the court upon a IA
vorable opportunity in the near future.

grazing on forest reserves went against
him by an equally divided court, but
later the case was set for a rehearing.
