penetrated the workings anu returned
with William Hupp and Joe Minalin,
miners, who were so badly burned
it is feared they cannot survive.
Another rescue party was sent into
the mine later. in hope that more
were alive. The Panama shaft had
been closed for several weeks. Gas
was SO strong at "a distance Of three.
miles that the rescuers were driven
back until such time as sufficient air

MINNEAPOLIS MAN SLATED TO
SUCCEED JONES, PRESENT
CHAIRMAN.

Atlantic City, j., July 11.-Insur-
gency broke out in earnest in the ma
tional prohibition convention here to-
day and forced an adjournment of the
first session without transaction Of
any business other than the passage
OF rule to take up during the at
ternoon the election of a national
chairman by the convention itself.
This was an insurgent victory.
Attempts were made to go ahead
with the nomination of presidential
and vice presidential candidates, but
the insurgents had decided that the
national Craftsmanship should first be
settled and they had their way. A
self-constituted committee Of conven-
tion leaders met and agreed upon 9
plan Of taking what amounts to a
blind ballot on the national chairman
ship. Under this rule, which the con,
vention will be asked to adopt, the
nomination would be allowed, but bal
loting viii continue until one man re-
ceives a majority vote.
The friends Of National Chairman
Charles R. Jones of Chicago, were
bent on trying to offset the insur-
gent movement to defeat him. The
adoption of the party platform, drawn
by the committee on resolutions. also
was put off until afternoon. Many of
the delegates are anxious to end the
convention tonight.
Factions of the prohibition party
In convention here determined upon a
finish fight over the craftsmanship of
the national committee today and
planned to settle the differences on
he floor of the convention instead of
trusting it to the new national COM
nittee.
lnsurgent leaders decided to pro-
'ose the name Of W. G. Calderwood of
minneapolis, present secretary of the
lational committee, for chairman to
ucceed Charles R. Jones of Chicago,
While the regulars win stand by Mr..
ones.
A third candidate will be proposed
y sympathizers with the insurgent
lement. He is s. F. w. Lough.
hartman Of the Indiana state prohi-
iticn committee. Insurgents, it was
sported, would look upon Lough as
harmony" candidate and throw
leir strength to him after supporting
alderwood on the first, ballot. The
aders of both factions planned to go
to executive session to conduct the
lairmanship fight.

until Mr.. Innes. the British charge
can present note in behalf OF hi
government confronts congress AM
the state department with an extra
ordinary situation.
The request for delay has beer
communicated to me senate inter
oceanic canals committee. 1t came
from the summer embassy at kineo
Maine, late yesterday and was sent
BY Mitchell Innes. the charge. acting
for Ambassador Bryce. who is in New
Zealand.
While the reasons for the request
are not stated, there Is no doubt
that the British government is con-
cerned in the clause to grant free
passage through the canal to Ameri-
can vessels in coastwise trade. and
that relating to the passage of rail.
road owned ships. The Canadian rails
ways are deeply concerned in both
and It is thought that some Of the
representations viii be made in their
behalf.
The canal bill is now in the senate
committee with prospect of being
soon reported and will then 90 to con-
ference with the house. Congress
men at both ends of the capitol feel
that If any Panama legislation is to
be had it must be at this session of
congress. The exigencies which have
arisen as the canal approaches COM
pletion make legislation necessary if
permanent organization is to be
set up on the canal zone to best ad-
vantage. 1t was stated today that the
members of both houses were not
agreeable to much oelay now.
Senator Grandage has replied to I
the state department that the legisla-
ton proposed is regarded as extreme
" urgent and the senate committee
has planned to report the canal bill !
TO the full senate sometime next
week. That reply has been commun- !
Gated by wire to Mr.. Innes and prob !

ielivery of the British note. !,

Unique Station

The wireless telegraphy station At
Nauen. near Berlin, now possesses q
tower which is said to be the highest IN
the world with the exception OF the
Eiffei tower in Paris, and the Singer and
the Metropolitan towers In New York.
The tower was originally three hundred
feet high. but TO increase the range OF
the wireless station. which IL already
able TO communicate direct with New
York, It was decided to add another three
hundred feet. This engineering feat has
been accomplished. and IN overcast
weather the summit is often lost In the
clouds.
There have been no attempts at arch
itsctural beauty in the construction and
Of the district, appearing like . huge
mast Of iron treilis work springing YER
tically from the earth's surface toward
the sky, from the uppermost extremity
of which a nest OF wirework stretches
toward the ground.
From q technical point OF view. how
ever. the Hauen tower Is probably orig
inai. Its sole foundation is q single steel
ball let into the earth. on which rests
the entire weight Of the ironwork. On
a structure Of such immense hight the
power Of the wind Is naturally extreme,
and. owing TO the small sectional area
Of the tower. II was impossible to eosun-
teract the wind pressure by widespread
ing foundations. II was therefore de-
cided to allow the tower a certain amount
Of give" and the tower swings to the
force Of the wind.-Nex York Tribune.
