MANY KILLED IN MINE
Sc,res Meet Death in a Co..
liery!n Pennsylvania.

Between sixty and seventy miners
were killed in an explosion in the Pan
coast mine at Throop, Pa Fifty-four
bodies have been recovered.
The colliery is owned by the Scran-
ton Coal company, affiliated with the
New York, Ontario & Western COM
pany. The fire originated from some
unknown cause in the engine house at
the foot of the shaft about 10 a. m. At
the time there were 800 men and boys
in the various veins and chambers.
The flames ignited accumulations of
gas, which increased the difficulty and
doubtless increased the loss of life.
About the head of the shaft were
gathered thousands of people. Ropes
had to be stretched to keep back the
crowd ard to prevent stampede
when the bodies were brought out. The
company officials acted with the great
est promptness when they learned the
extent of the disaster, but once started
the fire spread with great rapidity. 1t
caught on the timbering of the shaft
and ran along the gangway.
AS soon as it was seen that the fire
was battling efforts to subdue it, word
was sent for the government rescue
car at Kingston, sixteen miles from
here, and this responded, bringing
four men equipped with apparatus for
penetrating into smoke and fire damp.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR FERTILIZERS
Sales Far Beyond Expectations of Mill
Managers.

Jacsson.-Heavy rains, the usual ac-
compartment of the vcrnal equinox, have
been general over Mississippi during
the past few days, and have brought
about marked improvement of farming
prospects.
In all sections of the state there was
an urgent need OF rain to get the soil
III proper condition for spring plant
ing, and it is expected that there will
be unusual activity in the agricultural
districts during the week.
One OF the most significant features
OF the outlook is the phenomenal de-
mand for fertilizers. Managers of the
principal mills say that sales have been
far an excess of their expectations, and
In some instances they are unable to fill
all orders offered
In accordance with their annual GUS
tom, mill managers made preparations
Tor the season in accordance with ad-
vices received from their local agents,
showing the probable acreage and char
acter Of crops to be planted this year,
but it now appears that all of these
estimates were exceedingly low. In
some counties sales and deliveries have
already been from ten to thirty per
cent i'll excess OF last year, and the fer
tilizer plants had figured on practically
the same consumption as in 1910.
This gives rather conclusive evidence
that the farmers of Mississippi are not
only planning a substantial increase of
acreage, but that they also have plenty
of confidence in the general outlook;
that they are not pessimistic or despond-
ent over the boil wccvil, and other new
problems with which they are con-
fronted.
Thus far there have been no COM
plants of scarcity of cotton seed for
planting purposes The oil mills have re-
served abundant supplies for this pur-
pose, and will be able to fill all orders
unless a second planting should become
necessary later in the season.
The demand for improved varieties of
corn is very general, largely due to the
campaign of education on corn culture
that has been under way for the past
year.

TELLS OF LORIMER FUND
Sensation at the Investigation
at Springfield.
Clarence S. Funk Says That Edward
Hines Was the Man Who "Put
Up" the 100000.

Grave allegations were made a
Springfield, ILL.,, a, the session
OF the Helm senate investigating com
mittee. Edward Hines was specified
as the man who put up" the S1OO, ,00C
to elect William Lorimer United
States senator Edward Tilden was
named as treasurer" of the fund.
Clarence S. Funk, general manager
of the International Harvester com
pany in Chicago. gave the names, ex
planning that he had been approaches
by Mr.. Hines to make a $4,000 con
tribution to the fund.
Mr.. Hines, close personal friend oil
Senator Lorimer and one of his most
active adherents during the investiga
ton which ended in his exoneration
at Washington, represented the lum
Der interests of the country. Mr.
Tilden is credited with speaking for
the meat packers.
Mr.. Funk briefly explained that Mr.
Hines had told him that 100000 was
rushed to Springfield to procure Lori
mer's election and that the Interna-
tional Harvester company was ex.
pected to be one of ten "big people
to make up the fund Though the
contribution was not made, Mr.. Funk
said he was requested to think it
over" and send the cash to Mr. Tilden.
The witness did not know Mr.. Til
den, and it was with apparent reluct-
ance and only after being summarily
ordered to do so by Chairman Helm
that he gave the name to the commit
tee.
When seen in Chicago Edward Hines
denied absolutely the story told by Mr..
Funk.
Senator LaFollette has introduced
in the United States senate resolu-
tion providing for another investiga-
ton of the Lorimer case.
