son. which Is closed. cost 100 lives
and resulted in more OF less severe
injuries to i6 others. These figures
are smaller than those for last year.
when the dead numbered 100 and the
injured 81.
The annual loss of life In the pur-
suit Of game has attracted the atten-
ment and by direction Of Secretary
Wilson Of the agricultural department
the biological survey is studying the
accidents this year. as well as statis-
tics for the last five years.
The results of the investigation and
suggestion for legislation will be en-
bodied in a report to be published at
the end of the year. With these sta.
tistics to work on, the federal gov
states to enact laws which will de-
crease the annual slaughter of hunt
ers.
This years statistics prove that q
companion Is the most dangerous part
of a hunting outfit. He has caused
at least 25 per cent of the fatal ac-
cidents of the season, his careless
ness being responsible for "a deaths
and the injury of IA persons who
were lucky enough to escape mortal
hurts.

seems to have acquired the habit OF
mistaking men for deer and killing
them. He killed his brother the other

another man by mistake.
The coroner has called a jury to
determine whether Wilson ought to
be permitted to carry firearms.
While hunting rabbits near Nc
Louth. Kan, John GLENN accidentally
shot six young women who were
standing on the front porch of his
home. A rabbit ran around the house
and GLENN fired at II with a shot

struck the women, all of whom were
wounded in the lower limbs.

amount to 5000 In Wisconsin alone
which has attended the favorable

for the revision of the game laws to
prevent the killing of female deer. for

velopment Of plot and passions, and
a primary election lends the finish

that take place.
There is every reason to wish Mr..
Hansbrough success. The great
American has been long in promise.
but short in fulfillment. They do
this sort Of thing better elsewhere-
in London, for instance. But even
there. the appeal has been more to
the intellect than to the heart. Dis
raeli's statesmen were majestic lay
figures. rather than real flesh and
blood. Mrs. Humphry Wards pscyh-
illogical studies begin in the drawing

vention. only to end in the dreary
moorlands OF illogical inconsequence.
Ellen Thorncroft Fowler fills the

to memorize them carefully before

and Warner tried the game in the
"Gilded Age" but no one remembers

licious Sellers. while Mrs. Hodgson
Burnett has led US delightedly but
unconvincingly through one adminis-

If these master writer's have tried

redoubtable Hansbrough has attempt
ed the impossible. But who can say?
1t may be that the long looked for
IL about to arrive. If SO, then Hans

announced time and time again at

MINERS CAUGHT
IN DEATH TRAP
Fire Probably Cut Off Means
Of Escape for a Half
Hundred

Scranton. Pa, April Fifty to
seventy-f1ve men, employed in the
Bancroft mine of the Scranton Coal
company at Throop, are entombed in
the inner workings with all chance of
escape, it is believed, cut off. The fire
is raging along an entire vein, owing
to an engine house having been set
ablaZe. The mine is equipped with
two openings but the location of the
burning engine room is such as to
have cut off escape by these routes.
The fire is in working seventy-five
feet below the surface.
Officials, scores of workmen, volun-
teer firemen and the Throop fire de-
partment are working to get to the
men supposed to be in one part of the
mine. Three hundred men we're in
the mine when the alarm was given.
On account of the, great excitement it
is impossible to learn just how many
managed to get out. Unless the men
thought to be trapped are soon reach
ed it is feared they will all die if they
have not already been smothered by
the smoke.
At l 80 o'clock this afternoon it was
learned that it was impossible to
reach the men for some time. owing
to the smoke and great distance they
are below the surface. At that time
it was admitted by one Of the officials
that there was fire in the mines but
that official was unwilling even to
venture an opinion as to how many
men were trapped.
The news of the fire spread rapidly
and hundreds flocked to the mouth Of
the shaft. The women were frantic
and tore their hair and clothing in
their despair and many of them had
to be taken from the scene.

Psychological Time,

Washington, April THE adage of
striking when the iron is hot applies
as we'll to the necessity for arrang-
ing peace in Mexico now, in the opin-
ion of DR.. Vazquez Gomez, head Of
the confidential agency of the Mexi-
can revolutionists here.
DR.. Gomez pointed out that it was
most opportune at present to treat
for peace but that month from now,
possibly two months; the revolution
probably will have reached such
proportions as to make nothing but
a complete triumph and the capture
of Mexico City acceptable to the revo-
lutionists forces.
DR.. Gomez declared. however. that
his constituents were willing to dc
anything within reason and did not
wish to be accused Of bloodthirstiness
in pursuing the insurrection. For
this reason. he added, they would
meet any overtures for peace half
way and were demonstrating at the
present time their desires to take
part in peace negotiations If once in
itiated.
DR.. Gomez was careful to indicate
in an interview today that his advices
from various parts OF Mexico showed
that the insurrection had been
spreading greatly and that the insur-
gent forces were not relaxing their
activities because Of peace talk.
DR.. Gomez said, however. that
should negotiations be launched, a
satisfactory armistic could be ar
ranged. He believed that although
the insurgent movement was directed
at the administration Of President
Diaz they would be content with a
systematic revision Of electoral laws
which might take six or eight months
and perhaps make unnecessary a
change in the Office of the chief exc
cutive for some time. He said that
inasmuch as President Diaz had en-
dorsed the principle Of no reelection
he might voluntarily relinquish, In
the course Of year, the post which
he had held so long.
DR.. Gomez is expecting to be In
communication with Francisco I.
Madero, the rebel chief, in few days,
when a definite understanding con.
cerning conditions of peace will ba
forthcoming.
