TAFT EARLY ON
AUGUSTA LINKS
PRESIDENT HAS ROUND WITH
COL. BoGEY; PARDON CASES
NOT CONSIDERED.

Augusta, Ca, March 13.-Starting
in the third day of his brief vacation
with an early attack on Col. Bogey,
President Taft played the full eighteen
hole course this morning. He was
followed to the links by Secretary
Norton who had as guests three friends
from Chicago Shortly after Mr.. Taft
came in from the course it was said
he has not so much as glanced at the
papers in the proposed Morse pardon
case. Reports reaching Augusta from
New York. that the president would to-
day sign a pardon for the convicted
banker now serving term in the
Atlanta federal prison, are entirely er-
roneous. There is little likelihood
that any action will be taken on either
the Morse or Walsh cases until after
Mr. Taft returns to Washington next
week. The papers were brought along
to be gone over If the p. ,sident might
feel so disposed, but there was no
specific purpose Of taking action at
this time.

A COSTLY FIRE
oil Works Have Been Burning Since
Saturday; Blaze Started by
Oil on Waters.

New York. March ia 100000
fire which started on Saturday in the
plant of the Pratt Oil Works, a Brook
lyn subsiC ry of the Standard Oil
company. is still burning today and a
force of two fire boats and three com
panies of firemen are engaged in an
endeavor to keep the blaze confined to
the wharves and storage plant.
The firemen are hampered in their
work by. the constant explosion Of five
gallon cans of naptha which were
stored with the piers.
According to officials of the oil COM
pany the fire started when a tugman
threw shovel full of hot ashes into
the river, close to the dock, igniting
some oil which was floating on the
surface. The firemen expect to have
the fire under control by tonight.

RECOVER MINE DEAD
Death List In Minnesota Cave-in Will
be About Fifteen; Rescue Work
Impeded.

Virginia. Mimi, March 13.-All last
night the search for the remaining vic.
Tins of Saturdays cave-in at the Nor.
man mine was prosecuted by a small
army of workers, and today the work
OF removing the immense mass of ore
and debris received new impetus. 1t is
thought by President w. ]. Olcott of
the Oliper Iron Mining Co., that it may
be two weeks before the last OF the
bodies will have been recovered.
It is believed the death list will not
exceed fourteen or fifteen. In addition,
four to six were injured.
President Olcott said that the par
ticular body of ore which caved in had
been considered the safest part of the
mine, and ne is at loss to understand
the cause Of the accident.

NUTS GROW IN FAVOR
Exports Of Coolers From France Last
Year Reach Surprising Total
SAYS Consul.

Washington, D. c., March 13.-It may
have been due to the increase in the
number of peanut-eating fans at the
baseball games, or 1t may have been
because of the more extensive demands
of the confectioner but the fact is the
imports Of peanuts to the United
States for the year 1910 assumed I'M
precedented proportions.
United States Consul General Gaulin
at Marseilles, France, where great
quantities Of peanuts are raised, re-
ports to the department of commerce
and labor that peanut exports to the
United States for the year 1910 rose
in value from the comparatively in
significant total Of $8,7to in 1909 to
1911 $50. Large purchases of peanut
oil by Americans also were recorded
and the trade was the briskest in
years.
