TWELVE DROWNED

Dynamite skaters Thin Wall

TIibernia, \. J., Oct. 20.-Buried
beneath hundreds of feet OF water :
miners were drowned in one OF the
Wharton Steel Company's mines near
here today shortly after one O'Clock
this morning. The victims had no
chance of escape. With tremen-
dous roar the, water broke through
the wall of the pit in which they were
working and in few minutes the
mine was flooded.
The shaft in which the accident
occurred is on the side Of mountain
literally honeycombed with aban-
doned workings in which millions Of
tons of water have collected. Only
a thin wall stood between the men
and death and an ill-timed blast of
dynamite shattered the barrier and
released the flood.
As soon as the news Of the accident
was known every woman in this lit-
tie town rushed to the scene. In
the chill early morning, with the rain
falling in torrents, they clustered
helpless about the mouth OF the
shaft, the weeping, hysterical wo-
men relatives of the victims implor-
ing the men to do something. but
there was no hope from the first.
The pumps were rugged as soon
as possible and willing hands have
kept them going without moments
pause but it vii be day or even long
er before the mine can be emptied
sufficiently to permit the recovery of
the bodies.
The mine is owned by the Whar-
ton Steel Company, one of the large
concerns which is not connected with
the United States Steel Corporation.
1t was founded by the late Joseph
Wharton, Of Philadelphia, and owns
mining interests in various parts of
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York
and other parts of the east. The
Hibernia mines have been operated
for nearly 4 century.

landed and has since seriously harassed
the latter by series OF almost nightly
raids on the outposts.
An Italian statement has been issued
that Yesterdays bombardmeut by the

sent, but that when a landing was at

fired into the pinnaces, which made 1t
necessary to destroy their earthworks
and drive their defenders beyond rifle
range into the interior.
Word having been received that the
Turks accuse the Italians of mauufac-

and the cruelties which it is charged

FROM WASHINGTON

That the report on wool will be
ready for Congress when the bell rings
for the next session, was the word given
out at the offices Of the Tariff Board
today. It is expected that a complete
statement Of investigation of raw and
manufactured wool will be ready III
December. 1t will cover the entire
cost OF production in this country and
abroad. Cotton manufactures will
probably be reported in the middle OF
December but may go over until Con-
gress reassembles after the holiday re-
cess. All the foreign work except a
few odds and ends. has been completed.
The reports will go to President Taft,
but If he follows his precedent in hand-
ling the boards report on print paper
and pulp they will promptly be sent
to Congress.
In political circles here there is a
general opinion that the President will
take advantage ot the opportunity OF.
fered by the transmttal OF the reports
to Congress to send messages setting
forth his ideas on the revision of the

GREAT YEAR FOR JOHNSON.
Washinston's Crack Pitcher Has Had
Most Successful Season.


Considering the fact that he is a
member Of n team which finished next
to last in the race which is now closed,
Walter Johnson's record Of twenty-slX
victories and twelve defeats is splen-
did one. Bender, Gregg and Coombs
are the only pitchers that have work
ed regularly this season who have a
better standing among the pitchers
than Johnson, and it is easily seen
that he would probably be leading
them all if he were member OF a
winning aggregation.
This has been the most successful
year in Johnson's career notWlthstano-
ing the fact that he got a miserable
start, and it was not until late IN the
season that he began to pitch winning
ball. That Johnson has changed his
style Of pitching is best indicated Dy
the great falling off in the number Oh
strikeouts he scored. Where he estab-
lished a record with 313 strikeouts
last season he is scarcely over the 2Oo
mark this year, and yet he has won
more games this year than ever before
