MONUMENT FOR HERO
Proposed to Erect One for the
Man Who Fought for
lincoln.
A CIVIL WAR SUBSTITUTE

Washington, Feb. 4.-The soldier
who fought through the civil war as
the personal substitute of Abraham
Lincoln may have a statue erected in
commemoration of his services. Few
people know that President Lincoln
sent a substitute to the front during
the civil war but his name will be en-
graved in the niche of fame if the bill
providing for a statue in his honor be-
comes law. A bill appropriating
$4,000 for the purpose was presented
in the house by Representative Palmer
(democrat) of Pennsylvania.
The name of this hitherto almost
unknown hero is J. Summerfield Sta
pies, of Stroudsburg, Pa. He died
there some ten years ago, and it is at
Stroudsburg that it is now proposed
to erect the statue. In the burial
ground at Stroudsburg a small tablet
today marks the resting place of Sta
pies. bearing on it's face the simple in
scription:
Here lies the body of J. Summer
field Staples, representative recruit of
Abraham Lincoln"
In 1868, when the fortunes of the fed
eral government were at their lowest
ebb, it was decided by President Lin
coin and his cabinet that they should
send personal substitutes to the front
as an example to the country. The
young Pennsylvania, who was then IS
years old, was selected as the presi-
dents substitute. He enlisted in the
Second District of Columbia Volun-
teers and served until the close of the
war.
No particular record of valor or he
roic service is recorded in favor OF
Lincolns substitute, but the records
show that Staples served throughout
the war with honor to himself and his
country.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The house of

Were a Hundred Victims of the
Great Mexican Coal Mine
Disaster.
NO AMERICANS MET DEATH
WITHOUT EXCEPTION ALL OF
THE VICTIMS OF THE TRAGEDY

NESE-FUNERALS HELD.

Laredo, Texas, Feb. 4.-Word reach
ing this city yesterday from Las Es-
peranzas, Mexico, the scene of We'd
nesday's mine disaster, indicates that
the loss OF life was practically as
chronicled in first reports. The res
cuers have thoroughly explored all the
workings of the mine situated in the
No. level and brought out all of the
bodies of the victims. One hundred
and one persons in all lost their lives
as a result of the explosion. While
there may be one or two deaths among
those who are now in the hospitals the
officials are hopeful all will pull
through safely. Excepting Japanese,
not foreigner lost his life, all being
Japanese or Mexicans.
Many Previous Disasters.
The coal mining district embraced
within an area OF 40 miles of the vi
cinity of Las Esperanzas, is the larg-
est in Mexico, and contains many
villages where coal is mined on small
scale The district furnishes large
portion Of the coal used by the Next
supplying many industrial plants.
Many mine disasters have occurred
in the past in the district, the latest,
prior to yesterdays catastrophe, hap
pening two years ago in the Barrater-
an field, when an explosion occurred
in the mine there which is operated
by the same company which controls
the Paula Property.
In the explosion at the Barroteran
mines $50 lives were sacrificed. The
natives are superstitious and dislike to
work where death has previously
reaped a large harvest. To overcome
a shortage in workers, large numbers

6urying the Victims.
Thursday was sad day in the little
town of Las Esperanzas. The day
was devoted to the holding of funerals
of the deceased miners, and the ca
pacity of the local undertakers was
taxed to the limit.
The local authorities have made a
thorough investigation and reported to
the Governor. While no official report
has been given out the investigation is
said to have demonstrated that the ex-
plosiOn was caused by a spark from a
miners cigarette.
Every effort has been put forth by
the company to aid the INDECENT men,
bers of the families of those killed,
the mining companies in many in
stances providing collins in which the
victims were buried.
