The district is reclaimed by the
democrats after four years service by
republican, A. +. Dawson OF Pres

leaning toward the Cannon side in
congress was given by many as his
reason for withdrawing from political

TRINIDAD, Colo, Nov. 9.-Between
fifty and seventy men are beaaeved to
be entombed in mine No. 8 Of the
Victor American Fuel Company at
Delagua. twenty-five miles northwest
OF Trinidad, as the result of an ex-
plosion
Fifty men came out alive and un.

connected with the main mine. No. 8,
and, according to reports to the mine
officers. they did not even knew there
had been an explosion in No. 8. Ii
this report is true, the explosion,
which badly caved the entrance to No.
8, did not extend far into the mine,
and 1t is hoped, therefore, tnat the
men far within the workings are un.
harmed
1t was at first reported that the
mine had caught fire, and every avail
able man in the Victor American com.
panys employ was hurriedly notified
to rush to No for rescue work. The
normal working force of the three
mines worked by the company is 275
men. of which a majority are employ
ed in No. 3. But on account of this
being election day it is believed the
force was much reduced. One report
is that five men were killed and four
injured at the mouth of the msr- when
the explosion occurred These men,
it is believed, were engaged in re-
building the tipple, which ~ss not
long ago destroyed.
This disaster follows closely on a
similar one in this district that cost
the lives of more than fifty men.

PREPARE
FOR CROWD
OF YOUTHS

Preparations are now being made for
the entertainment of one of the larg-
est crowds that even went through the
Indiana Steel company mills at Gary,
when the local industry becomes the
host to the sons of the Chicago Cham
Der of Commerce. The boys will ar
rive on the steamship Theodore Roose-
welt, leaving its docks al 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning and arriving IN Gary
shortly before noon. The boat is ex-
pected to carry about 500 boys.
The question of getting the boys
to Gary is not nearly so serious as that
of getting them around the mills after
they arrive. The company, however
will make arrangements to have a
tsring of fiat cars equipped with i'm
provised seats for their convenience,
on which they will be transp ported from
one srop to another. They will be Civ
en- all afternoon TO see the plant after
which they will again return to Chicago
by water
The purpose of bringing the young
men to Gary is the educational value
in showing them the great mechanical
contrivances in the local industry. A
large number of these young men are
taking engineering courses in the var
ious schools and colleges In the vicin-
ity of Chicago and hope to secure much
practical Knowledge

day program as announced in the local
papers a few days ago. This point was
definitely decided at meeting of the
Hammond camp of the Spanish war
veterans held last night The same
action was taken by the Local camp last
year. The best of feeling exists be-
tween the members of the G. A. r. and
the Spanish war veterans. 1t is the
effort of the local Women Relief corps
to dictate and control in Memorial day
affairs, which is resented by the Span
ish war veterans and. according to their
story by many of the local G. A r.
men as well.
The Spanish war veterans were not

filled by G. A. r. men, were assigned

NEW POSTOFF|CE RULE
Fine for Writing on Pack
ages Sent Through Mails
Raised to $1OO.

The government has fixed the maxi
mum fine for placing writing in pack
ages sent through the mails at s100.
Heretofore, there was a penalty of $40
for any one who committed the offense
Then 1t was only necessary to hunt out
the offender, and If he acknowledged
his mistake, make him pay $40. Then
the postoffice inspector could attend to
that But now the fine has been raised
from SO to 500 and has become a
statue. In case of an offense un-
der the law, it is now necessary to
bring the offender up before the court
and the case is heard. If he is found
guilty, the judge may impose a fine as
great as 500 and not less than $40.
Packages are included in all third and
fourth class mail.

TUCKER CREATES
STIR At AARBOR


Indiana Harbor. May 27.-"The Pure
Food Man II get you, eff you donS
watch out
This is the slogan amongst grocers
and butchers in Indiana Harbor right
now. and all of the men engaged in
the business are looking up the laws
carefully regarding the conduct of
their business.
The reason of the little furry was
the appearance in Indiana Harbor a
day or two ago of Frank Tucker of
Peru, food inspector for the state He
has departed, leaving in his wake a
train of convictions, which cost no man
who came beneath the inspectors ban,
less than s19. Most of the penalties
were imposed for selling oleo for but
ter and the cases came up in Judge
George Reiland's court The National
Packing company was fined however
for shipping calves into Indiana Har-
Dor unwrapped. There were eight of
the calves. and as they were sent over
as a nexhibit. Judge Reiland's court
presented more the appearance of a
slaughter house than a court of Justice
for the time being. N. A. Constable,
the local agent for the packing com
pany, came over and paid the fine
which amounted to $40. and the calves
were not confscated but were allowed
to be delivered to their several des-
tinations by the American Express
company in whose care they were
shipped.
The merchants aNected by the pure
food mans visit were Frany A Peko-
wik. Pennsylvania avenue; Paulson

were fined &19.
