5000 FAMILIES MADE
HOMELESS BY DISASTER.

Washington, Feb. 8.-The eruption
of Taal volcano and the accompany
ing disturbances in the Philippines
killed 700 people in the town of Tall
say, according to the report of the
Governor of Batangas province,
which was cabled to the war depart
ment to-day by Gov Gen. Forbes, OF
the Philippine Islands. The earth
quake shocks continue, the Governor
General added.
Among the estimates of casualties
transmitted to the war department
to-day was report from Delegate
Apacible, representing Batangas in
the Philippine Assembly, who placed
the total dead at 900. The delegates
report added that 5000 families had
been made homeless by the disaster.
The Philippine authorities are face
to face with the absolute necessity
of adopting relief measures in order
to avoid suffering, as the falling OF
mud and lava destroyed the crops
within a considerable radius of the
volcano. The Red Cross Society in
the islands is taking steps toward that
end.

tremendous surprise TO the poll

an inkling of it had gotten out

made public. BY his withdrawal
he made il easier for Mr.. James
to batter the committee into TAX

prospect that Mr.. James would
carry out his threats.
Directly after taking favorable
action. the McCreary forces at

appearance of a victory for Nc.

coupled with that of Mr.. James

attempted to give the McCreary

GREATEST OF ALL
GOOD ROADS

Charles NJ Harvey in Leslie's.)
The greatest undertaking in road
building which the West has yet seen
is that which is constructing a new
Santa Fe trail. For most OF the dis
lance it follows the line of the old
trail, which was traversed at various
dates between 1922. when it was
opened as a wagon route, and 1880,
when it was abolished by the loco
motive. by Becknell, ST. Vrain, the
Chouteaus, the Bents, Glenn, Fowler,
Gregg, the Sublettes, Marmaduke
tafterward a Governor of Missouri,
Jedediah s. Smith, Jim Baker, Kit
Carson and other well-known char
acters. In its days of greatest activity
the Santa Fe trail had its eastern
terminus at Independence, Mo-. near
Kansas City, before the latter town,
however. was founded, and extended
to New MeNico's capital, about half
OF its 500 miles being in the present
State of Kansas. Throughout a con-
siderable part of its length the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railway ex-
tends to-day.
Sentiment stepped in to re-enforce
utility in building the new Santa Fe
trail. Ii is well-graded, drained and
bridged roadway, leading from Kan
sas City, Mo, westward through the
State of Kansas into Colorado, in
which state it turns southwark. pass
ing many historic points on the way
and ending at the plaza at Santa Fe.
There are gaps in the trail however,
which are not yet entirely filled.

BUREAU OF MINES WILL
BLOW UP A COAL MINE

The Bureau OF Mines is preparing
to touch off an explosion in a real
coal mine to demonstrate the explosi-
bility of coal dust Some say that
the government experiments at Pitts
burg have only theoretical value be-
cause they are conducted in a steel
tank and not i'll mine. The govern
ment is trying to hammer into the
heads of the doubters that it is coal
dust, not gas. that causes the most
terrible mine disasters. They have
bought mine and will blow it up to
prove it.
The experimental explosions will
have all the characteristics OF the real
disaster, without the usual loss OF
life. for there will be no one in the
government. mine when the dust ex-
piodes. When the poisonous gases
have been driven out the experts will
enter and study the effects of the ex-
plosion. Scientists have long known
that the dust of coal, wood and grain
is explosive il is only within three
years that they have discovered that
coal dust is an explosive as power
full as dynamite.

JAMES POSITION.

Il came from Washington for
the purpose of using my best
endeavors 10 get the Democratic
State Executive Committee to
include the senatorial race in the
primary which was called to
nominate candidates for State
Offices" said Mr.. James last
night. Democrats of the State
are greatly aroused over the
failure of the committee to in
clude the senatorial race in the
primary. They do not believe it
is either fair or Democratic to
deny them the opportunity to
select their candidate for Senator
in the same primary which the
committee has called to select
candidates for State offices. This
was done the last time. and the
Democrats of various States
have almost uniformly nomin-
ated their candidates for Senator
in a primary.
The Democratic party has
advocated the election of Sena-
tors by the people for twenty
years in our platforms, in the
Democratic press of the country,
by the campaign orators of the
party on the stump, by memoir

Louisville. KY, Feb. Ham
mering into subsection the rep
resentatives of the strongest
political machine ever known in
Kentucky's political history,
Congressman Ollie James and
his supporters this afternoon
compelled the state executive
committee to include the United
States senatorial contest in the
call for a state primary. The
date fixed for the primary cleo
ton is May q.
Congressman James made a
personal appeal for the primary
form of contest for the federal
senatorship before the members
Of the committee, and this,
backed by an implied threat to
enter the gubernatorial race and
defeat McCreary. the boss Of the
machine, forced the committee
men to see his side of the ques-
ton. The committee agreed ut
a meeting December % to hold a
primary for state Offices. but to
leavet the senatorial race out.
ThabMr. James swung the COM
mittee from its avowed intention
TO leave the senatorial selection
up to a legislative caucus is re-
garded as a victory for the Bryan
wing of the Kentucky democracy.
The action Of the committee,
il is forecasted by well-posted
politicians here tonight. means
that James will have a walk
over The other candidates are
said to be Senator Paynter, who
desires to succeed himself; ID. G.
Park. of Paducah, and former
Governor Beckham.
Following James appeal to
the members of the committee.
two ballots on the senatorial
primary proposition were taken.
with ties resulting both times.
Chairman Henry Prewitt might
haYe cast the deciding vote. but
efch time he declined to do so,
and it was not until the third
ballot that victory swung to
James. j. Norton Fitch, of
Nicholasville. member from the
Eighth district, was the first to
swerve from the original prop
osition to decide on the senator
ial nominee at a caucus of the
legislature. McCreary, thorough
ly frightened at James threat to
get into the gubernatorial race
unless his demand was granted,
brought his personal influence to
bear on Norton.
Following Norton's change,
other committeeman swung into
line for James and the vote final
ly resulted as follows: For James

THE r MARKET.

NEW YORK. March 2e.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
las points in respons to higher cables
than expected. The census figure show
ing s11 .94l ,543 bales ginned for the sea-
son. including 3s7,5 SOP bales Of linters,
proved just about as expected. how
ever, and right after the opening prices
sold off to a net loss of 5d7 points on
active months under scattered realiz-
ing or local pressure. Leading bulls
seemed to be selling OF the initial adj
vance, but gave the market support
below 14.50 for May, and prices during
the middle of the morning held steady
within a point or TWO of Saturday &
closing figures.
Aside from the census figures there
appeared TO be nothing in the new TO
influence sentiment and trading was
quiet during the late forenoon, with
fluctuations somewhat irregular. Prices
at midday were about ? TO 4 points net
lower.
AS II became evident that no long
cotton of consequence was coming on
the market. following the failure Of
the market TO advance on the ginning
figures. early sellers became somewhat
uneasy and the market was firmer
during the afternoon on scattering bull

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO. March 20.-Dry weather
both Southwest and Northwest made
wheat prices here take an upward turn

effect. One Chicago expert. after a trip

that the chances were against the
plant in a district 1000, 900 acres in ex-
tent. and that, at best. the standard
would be poor. In consequence a gen
eral demand from shorts sprung up,
and there was also good buying of de-
ferred months on the part Of commits
sion houses. The furry. however. did
not last. and the market receded.
Opening prices were unchanged 10
%sass higher. May started at 91l4 to
slSs, the same as Saturday night. 10

Oats showed a little frmness with
wheat. May started a sixteenth to
