ALL THOUGHT DEAD
IN NINE DISASTER
$50 Men Ent0mbed Two Miles
From Mouth of Mine by
Explosion.

Knoxville, Tenn.-For the second
lime in 10 years great mine disaster
has made the Knoxville colliery dis
trict echo with the sobs and walls OF
men whose lives were snuffed out in a
flash as they worked.
One hundred and fifty men-per-
haps more, perhaps few less-are
entombed in the cross mountain mine
near Briceville.
The possibility that any Is alive Is
so slight that it was practically ad-
mitted that not one of the men will
escape.
The men had entered to begin the
days work when a terrific explosion
wrecked the workings. Whether the
explosion came from coal dust or
blasting powder Is mystery. Within
the last three weeks the mine had
been inspected by federal inspector
and an inspector for an insurance
company which insured the lives OF
the miners, and pronounced safe.
Aside from the gas, the entombed
men are walled In by thousands OF
tons of slate and coal which were
scattered loose from the walls by the
force of the explosion.
The explosion Is believed t. have
occurred two miles from the opening
and about 800 feet below the surface.
All of the men who were in the mine
were working within a few hundred
feet of the hole and it Is possible they
were killed at the first blast.
Already a large relief fund has been
started and an appeal made for food
and clothing for the families of the
men in the mine. With winter upon
them, many are without enough
money to last for more than a few
days and it Is feared famine will add
to the horror of the situation. Sew
eral thousand dollars has been sub
scribed in Knoxville alone.
Seven dead men discovered sitting
in a train in Cross Entry No. "a,
two miles from the mouth of the
Cross Mountain mine brought the list
of known dead from the explosion of
Saturday morning up to 16.

 Battling Bess Martin of Oklahoma City and Knockout Nellie Bennett of Chicago fought six rounds to a draw at Tulsa, Okla, this week.
 Do you begin to see a light? Think of the forlorn hope of the Caucasian race coming from the weaker sex.
 It is told that the decision was largely a matter of discretion on the part of the referee, who was fully aware that there is a certain local ity lacking any fury similar to that of a woman seorned and he accord ingly declared the encounter a draw after a series of furious mix-ups, punctuated with natpin jabs, flat iron wallops and stoveid swings The New York World presents a ser ies of cartoons of the fight, show ing the participants kissing before the start, and being attended by maids and manieurists between rounds in their respective corners, with fully equipped dressing tables; candy and taleum powder convent ent.

FREE TRADE WITH CANADA

Perhaps it is not quite so strong as that, but the announcement of the Canadian reciprocity treaty just com pleted by the Taft administration is not only to be written down as one of the great accomplishments of that administration, but one of the big de- velOpments in more than a quarter of a century of agitation and dis eussion. Whether or not he was the originator of the trade reciprocity suggestion, the brilliant James G.. Blaine will always be remembered most prominently in connection with its inception, and for years, in Con- gress and as Secretary of State, he has labored to bring it about. Presi- dent Taft and his advisors have ac- eomplished it so far as Canada is concerned.
 The treaty, based on last years importatiOns, cuts off practically s5,- OOO,OOO of the tariff tax. Incident ally, it will be interesting to watch developments and see whether the lowering of the tariff bars can serve to loosen the strangle hold of the trade combinations that have made prices higher, and pocketed a dishonest profit.
 The most important item placed on the free list, measured by the quan- tity imported and the amount of duty paid, is rough lumber. But perhaps in total this does not equal that of what may be called the food produets-grain, live stock, vege- tables, fruits, dairy products and others in the list
 Publishers will be particularly in.

ROOSEVELT MAY

Mayor Goldwater and Other Citizens Are Seeking to Secure Change
 In COloners Itinerary
From Tuesdays Daily)

In the Los Angeles Times of last Friday, appeared the following edi- torial on the forthcoming visit of Colonel Roosevelt to Arizona:
 "The program for Colonel Roose- yelt's visit to Arizona, in March, as now made out, sends him wnizzing through Prescott at night. Under this arrangement he will not see Bor- glum's Rough Rider statue, which is by far the finest thing of its kiad in America. ...
 ''This notable example of Ameris can genius in sculpture was erected jointly by the Territorial government and the public, Colonel Roosevelt himself having contributed most largely to the fund next to the amount appropriated by tae Terri tory. The statue is to commemorate the deathless deeds of Colonel Roose- velt's men in Cuba.
 "By all means the program should be changed in order to allow the man who commanded the immortal Rough Riders in the Spanish-Ameri- can War to feast his soul on Bor- glum's masterpiece.
 Appreciative of what the patriotic emblem on the Plaza symbolizes, with the additional interesting fact that it was in Prescott where the organiza- tion of the famous Rough Rider regi- meHt originated and here where the first captain of that regiment was commissioned, the late Buckley"

pulp, from which paper is made, and paper itself, is to be admitted free, conditioned upon Canada removing its export duty on wood pulp.
 On the face of the statement given out by the State Department, it would seem that the United States is eonceding much more than Canada. l. also develops that we sell to Canada more than twice as much each year as We buy.
 Of what we buy from the northern neighbor,. only g per cent is to con tinue to pay the full duty, while over 76 per cent is to come in duty free. On the remaining II per cent the duty is reduced, but not wiped out The total duties remitted by the United States, on tine basis of last years imports, will be $4,s5o,- OOo annually, while Canada remits s2,56O,OOO a year.
 If the results of this extremely terested in watching the paper mar ket, for despite a most vigorous agi- tation on the part of the publishers to free themselves from the news print trust, they have seen the price of paper advance considerably more than 50 per cent during the era of advancing prices. Now both wood important reciprocity treaty shall be to reduce the prices on lumber, food products and paper, as well as other commodities affected, we shall find new champions of the plan and new lands with which to make it. If not, then the trade combinations will be convicted by the process of elim- inatiOn.

fact, in such an election the justice or the injustice of the accusation against the official under fire would cut but little figure. The real issue would be the relative popularity of the official and the candidate jump. ed up against him.
 Now, were the recall put into tLe Constitution with an eye to justice, there would be provided two elee- tions. The first would determine the guilt or innocence of the accused official; and if a majority of bis fellow citizens deereed him guilty, then make the vote a vacation of the office; that done, hold an election for his successor. There would be some .semblanee of fairness in suea a method of procedure.
 In another way, an accused of- ficial subject to recall under the pro posed Constitution would be sub jeeted to great injustice; he is given SO little opportunity for self-defense. He can have printed upon the ballot for the voter to read, a statemen; of his defense, not to exceed two lhundred words in length.

Those citizens of Arizona who look forward with such optimism to the ratification of their Constitution and the speedy admission of their state to the sisterhood of common wealths, are either ignorant of the grotesque provisions of that remark able document as it comes from the hands of the Constitution mongers, or they are singularly fatuous in their idea of what a Constitution should be.

 The Bisbee Miner says that United States Attorney Joseph E. Morrison passed through Bisbee on his way from Douglas, where he had been to investigate reports that the neutral ity laws were being infringed upon, to Naeo, for conference with the Mexican officials there.
 ''I have no hesitation in declaring that the reports of arrests made while men were engaged in snug gGng arms from Douglas to Agua Prieta were fakes.
