EXPLOSION IN MINE
One Hundred Lives Snuffed Out in
Colorado

Over one hundred men are believed
to havejbeen killed by a terrific ex-
plOsiOn in the Primero mine of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company at
Primero, Colo. Officials of the COM
pany state that the disaster is the
worst in the history of western coal
mining. Seve1ty-nine bodies of the
victims were found piled in a mass
at the foot of the AR shaft. When
the explosion occurred the men evil
IDENTIFY made rush to escape through
the air shaft and were suffocated as
they battled with each other for free
dom. 1t is shown by the timekeep-
er's records that there were 149 men
in the mine at the time of the ex-
pOlsion None are believed 10 be alive.
The main shaft of the mine is COM

to Primero from Trinidad, Segundo,
Starkville, Sopris and Cckville, and
are laboring frantically to clear the
mean shaft, relieving each other every
few minutes. 1t is impossible to de-

has caved, and it may be days before
the shaft is cleared and the total
death list known. There is little hope
that any OF the men in the mine are
alive. The company clerk reports that

1.-The National Guard and the Fourth duiy
signed by the writer. If it were the es-
tablished custom for the national guard TO
parade on the Fourth of July in celebration
of the signing of the Declaration of 1nde-
pendence there might be some reason for
continuing the practice; but since this is
not the case, the writer sees no reason for
introducing it now.
All good Americans are patriotic, or
should be, and though demonstration OF
this kind might serve to kindle the fire OF
patriotism in the hearts of some people who
perhaps do not realize the significance cf
the day it hardly seems fair under the cir
cumstances to ask the members of the ma
tional guard to give up this day, which has
been looked upon for so many years as the
great national holiday, and parade before
thousands of people, many of whom have
never felt and perhaps never will feel the
real meaning of Independence Day.

deemed advisable and necessary to ceIe-
brate our glorious Fourth N the manner

QUIT I'd NAVAL BATTALION
Three Officers Said To Be Angry
at ForsheW.

There are wars and rumors of wars in
the I'd Naval Battalion. OF Brooklyn. Three
of its most efficient officers have resigned
Lieutenant Commander William G. Ford,
Lieutenant Walter r. Griffith and Lleuten-
ant Arthur w Cohen.
Griffith commanded the 1st Division,
which is called the banner" division, and
Cohen was second in command. These two
officers enlisted in 1897 and served through
out the Spanish war. The official reason
given for their resigning is that their sec
ond five-year enlistment has expired.
The real reason. according to their ship
mates is far more serious. 1t is said by
friends of the officers that Commander
Robert P Forshew declined to punish some
of the men for disobedience of the orders
given by Lieutenant Griffith during the
cruise last August.
It was said last night that the whole
trouble was over a question of discipline.
