she has been paying 1925 Ter

PRIMERO, Colo, Feb. a
Lying in long rows in the i'm
provised morgue in a rude
shack near the tunnel mouth
are the bodies of So of the viz
tins of the disaster that wreck
ed the mine of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company. Rescu-
ers made several trips into the
shattered shaft today, and on
almost every return carried
with them a charred and scarce
ly recognizable mass that once
had been a living human body.
The officials expect to ex-
plore the ruined tunnel, where
they believe at least 27 more
bodies lie, before tonight.
State Mine Inspector Jones
and his assistants are trying to-
day to determine the cause of
the disaster. This, he declared,
however, is all but impossible.
The cause for the disaster ad-
vanced today is that one of the
Korean employees disregarded
one of the most strict of the
mines rules, and lighted a for
hidden cigarette while in the
tunnel.

"I have done wrong"

With this simple explanation,
accompanied by his ordination
parchment, Rev. NJ. A. Casey, d.
D., pastor of the First Methodist
church here, has withdrawn from
the church with charges of im-
morality hanging over his head.
The letter bearing this acknowl-
edgment of wrong with his with
drawal from fellowship in the
ministry of the church, came 10
Rev. Thomas e. Elliott, superin-
tendent of the Tacoma district,
short time ago. About the same
time DR.. Elliott received formal
charges against DR.. Casey pre-
ferred by three prominent parish
oners of the Methodist church at
Everett. In these charges he is
indicted for gross immortality, in

Learned of Charges.
DR.. Casey preached in Everett
in the First church there until a
year ago last September when he
was transferred to the Tacoma
church. Shortly after leaving
Everett whispers of indescretions
on his part with a young woman
of that city were started. An in
vestigation was taken up by
.churchmen and facts brought TO
light showing a scandal that could
not be hidden. Charges were then
drawn and forwarded to Tacoma
to the superintendent of the dis
trict.
In the meantime DR.. Casey, evil
IDENTIFY apprised of the situation,
had left the city. Last fall he
took his wife to California for
her health. He returned here
and secured a further leave cf
absence and January 2 preached
his last sermon. He was given
big reception by the congregation
here January /. Following his
sermon the next day he took
taxicab to the depot, hastened TO
Seattle and left at once for San
Francisco.
May BE In Los Angeles.
No word was received from him
until some time later DR.. Elliott
received his letter from Los An
geles acknowledging he had done
wrong and withdrawing from the
ministry.
In the meantime DR.. Elliott sent
the charges which were preferred
against him last month to Los
Angeles. Whether DR.. Casey ever
got them or not is not known.

ed to assassinate vi Wan-yong, it has
been discovered that an organized MUIR
der league is in existence and that the
branches of this league in Honolulu
and San Francisco were closely con-
nected with the murder of Prince Ito
and Counselor Stevens.
Immediately after making the at
tempt upon the life of vi Wan-yong,
the Korean minister president Of state,
the assailant was placed under arrest
and the authorities started to work to
discover what Affiliations he had and
whether or not be committed his fell
deed on his own volition or as the rep
resentative Of some society, The con-
fessi1n secured yesterday indicates the
latter to be the case.
Through the confession of the would
tbe murderer the authorities have Sc
cured full particulars concerning the
organization and membership of a Ko-

to be nothing Itss than murder lea
que. This society has branches in botn

intended assassination of Prince Ito
was had in the Honolulu and San

that the murder of Stevens was plan
ned by the San Francisco branch of the
society.
