Al DEAD IN ALABAMA MINE
NOT ONE LEFT ALIVE AFTER
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Helmeted Workers Drawn Up Uncon-
scious-Force of Explosion Wrecks
Village Near Pit.

Birmingham, Ala.-All Of the Al
men entombed in the Mulga mine Of
the Birmingham Iron & Coal company
are dead.
This was the word brought to the
surface Thursday to the waiting and
weeping families of the victims when,
unconscious from the deadly gases Of
the shaft, Superintendent Johns of the
mine and a man named Bonds, who
risked their lives for those already
perished, were drawn up to fresh air.
The watchers knew that if the res
cuers, helmeted and protected, had
so narrowly escaped death, there was
no hope for the workers, who without
a seconds warning had been en-
tombed by an explosion of gas.
When Johns and Bonds, after he
roic treatment, finally regained con-
sciousness they confirmed the gravest
fears of the people who for hours had
waited at the mouth of the shaft to
hear a word Of their loved ones.
"Dead-all dead" was the stammer-
ing sentence of the superintendent, as
he began to recover from the effects
of the poisonous gases.
Before they had lost consciousness
the rescuers had reached the first gal
lery. Even near the shaft they saw
results of the blast that convinced
them only miracle could save the
men entombed. When the first crew
of rescuers reached the bottom of the
shaft the bodies of two miners were
found. The rescuers, upon returning
to the surface, expressed the opinion
that all the imprisoned men were
dead.
Following the explosion flames shot
up distance of about 400 feet and
the ground is covered with charred
timbers around the mouth of the shaft
which were blown $50 feet from the
bottom of the shaft.
There are Is white and 25 negro
laborers in the mine. The foreman of
the working gang, who is entombed
with the others, has the only list of
miners.
Steubenville, O.-Eighteen of night
force of rs machine men employed in
the mine of the Youghiogheny & Ohio
Coal company, near Amsterdam, are
believed to have been killed as a re-
suit of an explosion in the mine
Thursday night.
Six bodies have been recovered.
Seven men were taken from the shaft
alive, but unconscious. Twelve other
miners are in the mine and it is be-
lieved they have perished.
1t is thought that the explosion was
caused by coal gas being ignited by
the lights on the helmets of the
miners.

Civilization and Missions.

There is a question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
tion of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-.
manent and continue blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well-beIng, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-.
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration;
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in single genera
ton has been remarkable.

W. R. HEARST ENDORSES TAFT
dent, but CrIticises Roosevelt in
Making Comparison.

Washington. - William r. Hearst
after a half hours conference
with President Taft came out in a
public interview with an Endorsement
of the Taft administration.
The Endorsement of the Taft admin.
istration was given in a statement
which is signed with the full name of
the Independent leader.
mo one can talk with the presi.
dent without appreciating and respect
ing his earnestness and sincerity"
says the statement Personally be-
lieve also in his efficiency. He has
been one year in office, and he has
certainly accomplished more in that
one year than Roosevelt did in his
first year.
Mr.. Roosevelt. according to Mr..
Hearst. found the country at the
height of prosperity and plunged it
into the depths of adversely.
1T is hardly fair to compare Taft's
one year with Roosevelt's seven, and
yet l am not sure that even with that
the comparison might not be to Taft's
advantage. Taft's methods are NOT
those of Roosevelt, but then Taft prob.
ably will not conclude his term with
a panic"

NUDE BODY FOUND.
Rich American Girl Is Believed To
Have Been Murdered.

Naples.-The finding of the body Of
a beautiful young woman on the beach
near here has given rise to the sus-
picion of murder. Apparently, the
woman died three days ago. The
body was without clothing, and this
has led the authorities to believe that
she was the victim of crime.
The body was identified by the pro-
prietor of the Hotel CASTILLO as that
Of Miss Estella Reid, a wealthy Amer
ican guest at the hotel. She was fair
and tall, with gray eyes, and wore
eyeglasses.
The police found letters addressed
to her from New York and st. Louis,
as we'll as from Canada. Several were
love letters.
For the last few months Miss Reid
had spent her time variously at Lin
dau, Germany; Turin, Milan, Pisa and
Siena. She proceeded from the latter
place to Naples and went to the Hotel
CASTILLO on April 8.

DEMOCRAT WINS HOT FIGHT
Havens Defeats AIdridge In New York
Congressional District Tar
1T Was Feature.

Rochester, N. Y.-James s. Havens
(Dem.) was Tuesday elected to con-
gress in the Thirty-second district, de-
feating George w. Aldridge (Rep0.
The district had been Republican
since 1890.
Aldridge, formerly state superintend-
ent of public works, was accused
during the campaign Of having re-
ceived $1,000 from insurance COM
panies to influence legislation. The
tariff was a feature of the campaign.
Havens carried the city of Rochester
by a plurality of about 1000, over
turning a Republican plurality of 5000
II 1908.
The late Representative Perkins car
ried it two years ago by plurality Of
more than ten thousand. Mr.. Havens
is for tariff reform, while his op-
ponent stands on the tariff policies of
the Republican national administra-
ton.
What gave the campaign its fever
heat, however, was what the Demo
Gratis called the moral ISSUE" the
question of "bossism" and of the per-
sonal fitness of Mr.. Aldridge to sit in
the house of representatives.
The evidence that Mr. Aldridge re-
ceived a check for $1,000 from a rep
resentative of the insurance companies
for the alleged purpose Of influencing
legislation is an argument his op-
ponents have kept before the people
in the form of a Photographic fac
smile of this check, mailed to every
one Of the $4,000 voters in the dis
trict.

CALHOUN CALLS FOR WARSHIPS
FURTHER SERIOUS TROUBLE
LOOKED FOR IN CHINA.
Human District Mobs cremate Thirty
Persons-Menaee All Foreign
ers With Death.

Neutrality-suspicious. serious trOu-
BILE in the Human province is antici-
pated by the United States diplomatic
officers in China.
Minister Calhoun, at Pekin, has re-
quested Rear Admiral Hubbard, COM
mander-in-chief of the Asiatic feet,
now at Annoy, to have his warships
ready to render assistance.
Consul Baugh of Hankow has re-

Hankow.-The situation in Human
province is reported as critical. For.
eign women and children are fleeing
for their lives from Changsha, the
capital. Several villages near that
city have been reduced to ashes by
native mobs. The country is pla-
carded with threats to kill all for
eigners.
This startling news was brought by
missionary refugees who arrived here
Friday from Changsha and nearby
missionary stations. Many Of them
have Travelled 30 miles on foot and
reached the Yangste-Kiang river in an
exhausted condition. Their houses
had been burned and they lost all Of
their personal effects.
The missionaries stated that gun
boats in the river have their guns
trained upon Changsha and nearby
points and have afforded refuge for
many foreigners. Three thousand
Chinese imperial soldiers are occupy
ing the strategic points Of the capital
and detachments are being hurried
to the outlying districts, where rioting
iG reported.
Many Chinese have been killed. In
one instance a technical school was
set afire and 80 students we're burned
to death.
When vessels approached Changsha
to rescue the imperiled ones the Chi
nese mob saturated junks with kero-
sene oil from looted stations of the
Standard Oil company and, setting
them afire, allowed them to float down
stream in an attempt to fire the on
coming steamers.

Coleman, Tex-Twelve negroes bad
Iy beaten, one white man seriously in

thousand or more men, and in that
time every section of the city was
raided for negroes, the latter fleeing

by numbers, not more than a dozen
of the fleeing blacks being overtaken.
About 9 o'clock, when not negro re.
