FATAL MINE FIRE q

LeH men working on the l4OO-
foot level of the five compartment
shaft of the Giroux Consolidated
mines at Ely were caught by fire
in the shaft Wednesday night and
six of them were killed and four
were at the point of death after
passing through The flames to
reach the surface.
The dead are Daniel Drea, score
tary Of the local Miners union
L. j. Gilmore, shift boss: John,
Wilhelmy, Thomas Odolovich,
Edward Walsh, John McNulty.
The seriously injured are:
Clarence Gates, Michael Foley,
Edward Knox, Peter Harrington.
The men on the l4OO-foot level
heard noise which they thought
Was caused by an explosion. They
looked upward and saw the shaft
in flames.
IdHhey Mt once boarded the cage
and started for the surface. They
the flames at the
l2O0-foot level and stopped.
f2sWilhelmy and four other men
left the cage and started walk
through the l000.foot level to the
old Alpha shaft, 700 feet away,
through which they hoped to
climb out of the mine. The five
men remaining in the cage gave
the siganl to hoist and were pulled
through the blazing shaft. One
was dead when the top was
reached, and the other four were
taken to a hospital. The work of
rcscuing the five men rem aiming
in the mine was then attempted
tho. Sh tn, Alpha saft. At the
400-fGot .rvel WiIhlemy was found
dead. Gilmt res ody was recovered
a; 600.foot level, fee downward
at the hulkhead. Odolovich lay
dead, but Walsh and McNulty
were not found, and still are in
the burning mine.
This is the same mine IN which,
three and half years ago, two
men were killed and four others
we're entombed for DC days on the
l000-foot level of the Alpha shaft.
The new shaft is one of the
largest and deepest in the district
and cost over a quarter of q mil
lion dollars.
Every effort is being made to
extinguish the flames. which are
stif burning.
A later despatch VS. that the
fire broke out from an unknown
cause at some point above the
twelve-hundred level anil an alarm
signal coming into the hoist house,
the, cage was Immediately lowered.
The men were at work at the
fourteen-hundred level and seven
out of ten managed to reach
the cage.
On the trip to the top, two
miners fell from the cage and of
the five remaining one was dead
when the surface was reached.
Three men remaining be low
climbed the ladders to the twelve
hundred, which is connected with
the Alpha "''rkinRs, eight

Union Record contains the follow
ing;
'iWe are anxious to see how many

takers will be INDICATED by their

Senator BANDS anxiety may we'll
grow. Everything possible is being
done by the Democratic state ma
chine to MI the next legislature with
1t6t such men as Senator Bland
says he is anxious about. 1t may
not be deemed advisable by the ma
chine to re-elect quite number OF
the present members of the legisla-
tpre because of the notOrIety that
has grown out of their course in the
legislature. But, Senator Bland
ana all others may paste it in their
hats as a foregone conclusion that
the machine will endeavor to elect
men OF the stripe of those who
E6fe used by it last winter.
What is Senator Bland going to

tolerate their presence and associ-
alton during another regular ses-

a Hirh school RanlE.

A novel experiment in practical
ins3tt 44idctiUth Of ehIldq9n was started
att the washington! ID. c.. high
school the other day when the
Washington High School Bank was
formally opened for business. A
regular bank has been started in
the school where the pupils may
deposit their funds, and withdraw
money Just az they would in any
national bank in the city. A steel
safe, with the usual bank combina-
ton, has been installed in the
building. Three of the teachers OF
the high school have been appointed
the advisory board, although the of
ficers of the bank will be boys and
girls who are students at the school
The office of president, vice prest-
dent, cashier, receiving teller, pay
ing teller, bookkeeper and a board
of directors will be appointed from
among the pupils, the board to
consist of one pupil from the third,
the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the
seventh and the eighth semesters.
Deposits ranging from ten cents
to SO will be accepted, ana IL Is De
lieved that every student in the high
school will soon be a depositor-
Many of the students are the chill
dren Of wealthy parents, who grant
them weekly allowance, some OF
which the children will want to
save. There are also many boys
who work outside of school hours,
and it is expected that these boys
will deposit their earnings. 1T is
expected that dividends will be de-
clared from time to time. The pur-
pose OF the bank is to teach students
the habits of thrift and at the same
time make them familiar with bank
ing methods, which is most COM
mendable, and should meet with
satisfactory results.

'.Judge Con is not candidate"
That is a favorite headline with the
Democratic machine press of this
state. OF course, he is not a candi-
date. No one ever said he was one.
That does not mean, however, that
he will not be chosen United States
senator the next time the legislature
meets in regular session. There is
no necessity for him to become a
candidate as the people will look
after campaign matters in connec-
ton with him themselves. They
already have his election under such
Roadway that the Democratic state
machine cannot stem the popular
tide, mo matter how often It's press
declares that Judge Con is not a
.candidate. The Wheeling Intelli-
.genoer hits the nail squarely on the
head, when it says editorially:
'fHolding the high position which
he does, it was not to be expected
that Judge Con would at any time
become an active candidate for Po-
Iitical honors. Such candidacy on
the part OF Judge Con has never
been considered by the Intelltgencer
as even remotely possible. How
ever, we have in the history OF this
country many notable cases of the
office seeking the man; OF call to
public duty SO strong. SO imperative.

that call, has responded to it even

protest, and that nomination led
