The east is already sitting up ana
taking notice. Yet there is an i'm
PRECISION current in the direction from
which all wisdom is said to come,
that, when the twirlers OF the eastern
clubs face the Tigers, Jennings men
will curl up and die.
THE Tigers are travelling very fast
right now but wait! Bender, Coombs,
Vaughn, Ford, Johnson, Karger,

measure" This is the prevailing cry.
One is forced to wonder If the east
has ever heard of one Ed Walsh. The
Tigers have trimmed him twice and
BY good margins. Also this man
Gregg Is some pitcher. Scott has
been known to trim the worlds cham
pion Athletics twice in one series.
Bailey has twirled some corking ball,
though always for a poor club. Kaler
and Banding didn't do so badly
against the eastern clubs last fall.
And don't forget that the Tigers
haven't nearly shown all their hand
as yet. The sensational Willett hasn't
been himself at any stage OF the sea
son, though he is about due. CHER
Summers hasn't toed the slab and the
big Hoosier has been about as much
feared as any in the list which the
eastern folks can reel of. Always,
too. there is the one and only Wild

dip into the proceedings at any tioe.
when the eastern clubs seem to be
dangerously near pulling down the

(By Associated Press.)

Elk Garden, West Va, April 25.-
Twenty-three miners are entombed in
OFT mine No. 20, of the Davis Coal and
Coke Company here. the result of an
explosion early yesterday, and little
chance is held out for the rescue Of
any of them alive because of the tons
of the debris that has thus far impeded
the progress of the rescuers.
AS soon as the accident became
known, Superintendent Robert Grant
organized rescue corps of the miners
off duty and these attempted to enter
the mine. The rescue party had not
advanced far into the workings before
they discovered ii would take several
days to dig through the heaps of roof
and coal and slate that had been loos-
ened by the explosion. 1t was then de-
cided to effect an entrance nearer the
probable point of the explosion by cut
ting through the wall of an adjoining
mine owned by the same company.
In striking contract to the usual
mine explosions the victims in this
case with one exception, are Ameri-
cans.
The mine usually employs 200 men
on the day shift and about the same at
night. A temporary suspension of
work, however, required fewer men in
the mines.
A rescue car is due to arrive from
Wilkesbarre. early tomorrow.
After penetrating about a mile down
the main entry, the rescuers tonight
found the body of man, not yet iden-
titled. 1t had been crushed beneath a
fall of slate, as though the roof had
crumbled as he was running out of the
the mine The discovery of this body
disheartened the rescuers, who are
positive none of the others can be
alive.

DR.. HYDE SEEKS
HABEAS CORPUS
Attorney for Physician Claims Col
Swope Died of Senile Debility
and Not Poisoning.

Kansas City, April 25.-Arguments
on the application for a writ of habeas
corpus for DR.. B. c. Hyde, under life
sentence for the murder of Col. Thorn
as Swope, were begun before Judge
Stover of the circuit court yesterday
here.
DR.. Hyde was in the court room, it
being the first time he has been al
lowed to leave the county Jail since
the birth of his son, last September.
The petition for the release of DR..
Hyde sets forth two reasons why he
should be given his liberty on bond
First, that the proof was not evident
and the presumption not great that the
physician is guilty of murder in the
first degree; second, that he is not
guilty.
Attorney Frank p. Walsh made the
principal argument for Hyde and Coun
ty Prosecutor Virgil Conkling repre-
sented the state.
Mr.. Walsh argued that the opinion
of the supreme court, by which the
] first trial of Hyde was reversed and re
manded, attacked the evidence of the
state as not showing that Col. Swope
died of poisoning, as charged, but
rather that death was due to senile de
bility.
