to consult further with members of
the interstate commerce committees
of the senate and house. 1t also was
stated that the verbal changes agreed
to in the conference with the railway
presidents would require a reprinting
of both the message and the Wicker
sham bill eEbodying the presidents
view. This bill is to be placed at the
disposal of the congressional commit

London, Dec. 21.-A secret con-
ference today between King George
and Premier Asqnith gave rise 70
the belief that the king has decided
to create a sufficient number OF
Liberal peers to outvote the Con
servatiyes on Legislation to deprive
the house OF Lords OF It's power OF
veto.
There was no conceaIment of the
fact that the conference was upon
the veto question, but no other in
formation was given out. 1t is prob
able that there will be no definite
announcement OF the king plan un-
Ill his majesty addresses Parliament
when II convenes.
Already the politicians are die-
cussing the probable legislation 10

lament. That the semi-public exc
cution OF DR.. II. H. crippen VIII
have lis influence upon the penal
laws was intlmated today by A. O..
Benson, son OF the late Bishop OF
Canterbury. who is preparing bin
abolishing hangings and substitute
ing death by lethal means.
IF prisoner in his cell might be
allowed to swallow poison or he
done TO death by anaesthetic. death
would at least have some touch OF
privacy and decorum." said Benson.
''The awful ceremony and the dis
gusting apparatus Of violent death
seem to me utterly barbarous and
medieval. A man at such crisis Of
his fate is not thing to exult over
aud no matter what his crime, the
whole proceeding has been debasIps
and degrad'ng IN its effect upon The
public"

Manchester. Eng, Dec. 21.--Two
hundred and eighty-nine out OF 400
miners working In the Little Hutton
company's Pretoria mine. near
Leigh, are believed to have been
killed In an explosion and fire that
has turned the workings into veri
table blast furnace.
Eleven OF those below the surface
of the earth when the disaster oc-
Cured have been rescued The
others we're trapped In the nina.
Rescuers have brought out the
bodies OF 20 charysd and mangled
men, since these bodies lge 10 onsl
close to the mouth OF tNlE<iain 'en-
trance. IT is believed all -she other
miners must have oerished.
Among the dead are many boys
who we're employed as leaders and
helpers. A great number OF the
bodies placed in the temporary
morgue near the workings could no,
be identified owing to the action of
the flames Nearly all were burned
beyond recognition. One survivor,
badly injured. who was taken from
the mine this afternoon. was unable
TO account for the explosion.
The explosion was terrific, and 1t
Is believed that It's force and the
fire which burst out almost imme-
diately afterward have demolished
the Interior workings.
Less than five minutes after the
explosion flames we're shooting 80
feet above the main entrance. The
only men who escaped were leaving
the mine Just as the accident oc-
curred.
The flames apparently spread to
all parts of the mine and the heat
thrown out from the main entrance
was so intense that those who
rushed to the rescue when the OK
plosion occurred we're forced back.
They fell back Just as burst OF
flames shot from the entrance Of the
shaft.
Although every effort was made 10
smother the fire, little could bo done
and It was many minutes before tho
rescuers could again approach the
main shaft. After time the flames

The plan suggested by The OBJ
server offers an excellent field for
investment. In Latta and Dillon
the enterprising northerner will
find all the progressive associates
he wants. The combined popula-
tion of the two towns is about
5000 and there is no doubling the
fact that the territory between Lat
ta and Dillon, were il traversed
by electric cables, would shortly be-
come as densely populated as the
towns, thereby adding more revenue
to a well-equipped electric plant.
For several years The Herald has
been interested in this plan. 1t
offers a wide field for develop
ment and it's possibilities can scarce
ly be exaggerated. The time is
not far distant when trolly lines
will parallel the most prominent
highways of the Pee Dee county
and there is nothing like getting
in on the ground floor" Come

The special services at Kentyre
church conducted by Rev. Mr. .Spen-

interest throughout. Quite a num-
ber were received into the church
and others were greatly impressed.
A genuine revival was experienced
by the membership and the church
manifests new life and activity. Mr..
Spencer's services are highly appre-
ciated by the entire community and
will be long remembered by these
good people.

In the notice OF the Democratic
primaries it is stated that one of
the campaign meetings will be held
at Reedy Creek, whereas it should
be "Reedy Creek Springs" In an
oIher place it gives the date of the

when it should be August. 23rd.
Readers of The Herald will please
hear this in mind and not get the
dates confused.
