The fire started in Haller's depart

A double explosion in the Cadeby
colliery at Sonisbrough, Yorkshire.
England, caused the death of siXty-five
miners.
Many others are missing, and the
officials of the pit think that the total
death roll will reach eighty. Among
the victims are three government in

Many of the men met their deaths
while engaged in an attempt to rescue
their comrades, who were cut of in
the galleries by the first explosion.
During their search a second and more
terrible explosion occurred. which
killed most of the rescuing party.
The two big explosions were FOL

The deaths were all instantaneous.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-One years trial
divorce" has proved to Walter Knapp
son of E. H. Knapp, general manager
of the National Biscuit company, and
Mrs. Katherine Knapp that they really
made no mistake when they married
fifteen months ago.
The conclusion of the years expert
ment found the young man and his
wife in Willow, Ark, constructing a
new home, in which they expect to
start married life anew. Knapp met
Miss Katherine Schwartz in Sank
Center, MINI. Three months after they
were married he was arrested in Chi
cago charged with wife abandonment
Rut when the case went to hearing
before Municipal Judge Newcomer,
Knapp said he did not want to neglect
his wife. All they wanted, both agreed,
was to test their love for one another.
So the trial divorce" was entered up
on. Knapp promised to send his wife
a monthly allowance during the ex-
perimental period.
Weeks before the year was over let
ters had been exchanged by them, and
Knapp and his wife had found that
each was as much in love as when they
were married.

keep. And that is a dreadful thing to
say about any person with the nature

bank examiner.
But Comptroller of the Currency
Lawrence o. Murray, who has direction
of the examiners, sent them all a most
disconcerting letter this week. In it
he ordered the innovation of having
each examiner, at the close of each
week, fill out blank accounting for
how he spent the time each working
day, and telling what he is probably
going to do the next week.
This letter will also be an aid to the
office in determining why the work
of some bank examiners is not kept
up to date" is the significant conclud-
ing sentence of a statement given out
by Murray with the letter.

Says Warming Given.

Senator Page, who was called north
by the serious illness of Mrs. Page,
gave out an interview there wherein he
hints at warning that has been given
to the north, to the effect that if the
panhandle cannot agree upon one
gubernatorial candidate the south will
take a hand. His interview is as fol-
lows:
the whole, in favor of retaining the
full cash valuation system, but will
insist upon the tax levy being placed
at about 80 per cent of the full cash
valuation. This plan would practi-
cally be in keeping with the taxation
system in vogue in Iowa, and would
provide a means of avoiding the
changing of any of the fixed levies and
would practically put the state lack
to the same basis Of taxation which
was in use before Governor Hawley
insisted upon the change to the full
cash valuation system. An effort is
being made among the democrats Of
the senate to get together and arrive
at solution of the taxation problem
independent of the house of repre-

NORTH SHOULD SUPPORT
TAYLOR FOR GOVERNOR

BOISE, Jan. 29.-State Chairman c.
L. Hoffman has returned to Rathdrum
and Spirit Lake after consulting with
republican party leaders in Boise. The
Moscow report received in Legislative
circles last night is said to lend some
significance to the state chairman's
visit That Mr.. Hoffman reviewed the
political situation here is well known
by those close to the party organiza-
ton, but they assert he did not COM
nit himself on the possibility of new
north Idaho candidate coming out.
So far as can be learned none of the
three north Idaho candidates who have
announced their intention to submit
their names to the republican prim-
aries next summer have decided to
withdraw as stated by the report.
The center of the conflict seems to be
in Bonner county where there are two
announced candidates, State Auditor
Taylor and Paul Clagstone, and third
who is prospective, or Bryon Defen-
bach. The latter is now in Boise but is
ncncommittal as to what his inren-
lions are His boom was launched in
Bonner county several months ago
when a straw vote was taken in one OF
the precincts and he received a ma
jority.
The outspoken Endorsement of State
Auditor Taylor by Senator Page and
Representative Jones, both of Bonner
county, given in interviews published
in the Capital News since the extra
session of the legislature opened, have
reached Bonner county and created a
stir, judging from reports received
from the north.

NEEDLE IS NOT
TRUE TO POLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-"True as
the magnetic needle to the POLE" is a
familiar but most untrue adage, ac-
cording to the coast and geodetic sur
vey bureau.
On only a small part of the earth
does the compass point direct to the
north pole, the government experts de-
clare. Webbing of the compass is
caused by variant magnetic attraction,
they assert.
Christopher Columbus, on his cele-
brateed voyage in 1892, first discovered
the infidelity of the needle. His sail
ors were terror stricken to find their
compass pointed a few points west of
the north star after reaching the west
To record exact destinations of the
compass, congress appropriates money
for the coast and geodetic survey for
observatories, of which
there are 300, and past and present and
future variations of the compass are
recorded by what are known as ''is-
ogonic maps"

The work of the tariff board, even
under the last years appropriation,
by no means ceased with the pu5lica-
ton of the wool report. A report on
the cotton industry, even more exhaus-
tive than the wool publication, will go
from the board to the White House and
thence to congress about February l.
The board began the investigation of
the difference in cost of producing
cotton goods at home and abroad sim
ultaneously with the wool investiga-
ton. OF the scores of tariff board ex-
perts who swarmed into foreign coun-
tries as soon as the body got it's ap-
preparation and began work, many col
lected statistics from both cotton and
wooden industries.
Japan and China, England, Germany,
France and Belgium-these are some
of the countries in which the manu-
facture of cotton fabrics has been
studied exhaustively by the tariff
board agents. The report will fill five
big volumes, against four for the wool
report 1t is said that the cotton re-
port is the most complete study of the
worlds costs of production of any
commodity ever made. The final work
of tabulation is being rushed by a
force of so expert statisticians.

the cotton schedule was simpler ttan

paying no attention to free list COM

cost of raw wool in various countries
