Dubois, Pa, July 1S. = An inquest
over the bodies of the twenty-one vic
tins of the explosion in the shaft OF
the Cascade Coal and Coke company
at Sykesville will be held tomorrow by
Coroner Savers. The bodies We're not
mutilated or burned, and it is evident
that they died as the result of after

G. A. Burrell, the chemist with the
bureau of mines car from Pittsburg
took quantity of blood from the body
of each victim and will analyze it for
the purpose of determining the num-
ber killed by the explosion and the
number meeting death by afterdamp.
Immediately after the removal of
the bodies the members of the rescue
car went into the mine for the pur-
pose of making an inspection. None
of the party would express an opinion
regarding the cause of the explosion
but the theory generally accepted OF
The part of the state inspectors is that
the first group of miners found hat

WILSON IN WILEY CASE.
Secretary Said to Resent Chemists
Usurpation of Power


Washington, July 1S. - The state
ment was made at the department OF
agriculture that DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
chief Of the bureau of chemistry, had
not yet filed with Secretary Wilson his
reply to the charges made against him.
While it is known that President Taft
is anxious to dispose Of the case as
soon as possible, it is said that he has
not directed that Secretary Wilson file
his recommendation within any par
ticuar time. 1t is believed, however,
that President Taft may pass on the
case this week.
Secretary Wilson has dismissed
Floyd w. Robinson, an inspector Of
drugs, for "the good of the service"
Robinson is said to have been active
with Wr. Wiley in the benzoate Of
soda campaign.
The dismissal of Robinson is taken
here as another indication of Secretary
Wilson'S intention to assert his author
ity in the department against those
who have been riding over him. The
chief complaint made against DIR. WI
ley's conduct of his office is that he
has run his bureau over the heads OF
| his superiors.

Atlanta, Ga, July is. - Following
the refusal of Ex-Governor Joseph M.
Terrell to serve longer as United
States senator and the announced de-
termination of Governor Hoke Smith
not to qualify as senator until the
regular session of congress in Decem-
Der, but to remain governor in the
meanwhile. resolutions are to be intro
duced in the legislature today asking
Governor Smith to resign at once and
go to Washington and qualify as SEN
ator. to which position he was chosen
last week, defeating Terrell. who was
filling the seat of the late Senator
Clay.
The resolutions will provoke bitter
debate and Governor Smith will be
severely criticised by his enemies and
also by some others who voted for him
for senator and think he ought to re-
sign as governor and go to Washington
and qualify as senator 1t is generally
believed, however, the resolutions will
be defeated if they come to a vote.
Governor Smith said that he had moth
ing further to say regarding the sena-
torial situation. He has declined to
take any action on Terrell's resigna-
ton and remains firm in his decision
not to resign the governorship until
December, at which time he proposes
to qualify as senator.

And her dress was quite complete
Save her skirt,
Which was not a skirt at all,
Just a baggy overall,
Short at that.

Awfully shocked!
And Mariah said to me,

Such tog,
For modest girl to wear!

passengers and the 81 members of the
crew of the steamship Perugia, which
arrived from Italian ports on Satur.
day and detsined at quarantine.
During Sunday night, however

boy, who was removed to Swinburne
island from the steamship Moltke with
three other cases in which cholera
was suspected, died. This made a to

The other cases in which cholera was
suspected show no alarming symp

Doty, and DR.. Doty and his assistants
feel reasonably certain that there will
be no further trouble until more ships
arrive from Mediterranean ports
None are due until tomorrow.
The Perugia was disinfected under
the direction of DR.. Doty and the Ital

URGES A STRIKE.
Anthracite Miners Cheer
MCEneny's Advice.
CONTRACTS END NEXT MARCH.
Increase In Wages IN Proportion to
Higher Cost of Living and Recogni-
tion of Union Demanded to
Avert Industrial War.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1S. - Mine
workers of the anthracite region were
advised to strike for higher wages and
other concessions when the existing
agreement expires next March by Pres
ident Benjamin McEneny at the an
nual convention of the Wyoming
Lackawanna district workers here.
He declared that when the strike COM
missions awards went into effect nine
years ago they were not then and are
not now what the miners wanted
During that period, he said, the opera
tors have not increased wages, al
though the cost of living had doubled,
and they have not granted single
concession of Importance.
Cheered by the delegates, McEneny
declared that it is unfair to expect the
mine workers organization to be any
longer held responsible for peace in
the anthracite region unless it is dealt
with as a party to future contracts
and is conceded the authority it
should have to enforce the observance
of contracts that are made. He also
declared that there was industrial
peace in the anthracite region when
the contracts expired in 1906 and 1909
merely because the mine workers be-
lieved it would be for the purpose of
having peace. Now they have reached
the peace and must have increased
wages, recognition of the union and
other concessions.
The mine workers of the district
number some $4,000, but the official re-
port showed an average monthly mem
bership of the union in the district
during the year of less than $500.
