Four Delegates Instructed For
 Gov, Marshal

Indianapolis, March 21-Advocacy of tariff reform, strict law enforcement and governmental economy charac- er- ized the speech of Governor Marshall in. opening the Democratic State con- vention here today. The statements problems were generally accepted as his declaration of principles in his campaign for the Democratic national nomination. He acted as temporary chairman of the convention.
 Marshall criticised the recall of ju- dicial decisions advocated by Colonel Roosevelt. Opposition was voiced to Wisdom demands, however, he declar- ed, that there be readiness to meet an emergency, and he asserted that should be something in the nature of a warning to officials that they must represent the people or being in dan ger of removal from office."
 A tariff fer revenue only was ad- vocated by the Governor. He express ed himself as believing the tariff to be the source of niost of the corpora tion problems of today
 '"The Democratic party believes in genuine tariff reforms" the Governor said. "It holds that tariff reform does not mean driving away the fat hogs that the runts way get at the swill It means kicking the tariff trough over and letting all men do what you and I do-root hog or die.'
 Enactment of a law annulling the charters of corporations concerned whenever an officer and director of one becomes involved. was another point in the keynote speech. Of the 26 national delegates selected, last night, the four delegates-at-large to be selected today will be instructed to support Marshall for the Presidency.

1O5 Miners Meet Awful Death
 in Fire Swept Mine
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 McCurtain, Okla, March 21-So cer- tain are the officials of the San Bois Mine that 1O5 men entombed, yester- day, by an explosion, are dead, that a relief train, which brought doc. tors and nurses from Fort Smith returned, early, today. Medical aid for the entombed men will not be needed, the officials say. Only the grim work of searching for the dead, remains.
 Twenty bodies had been brought from the mine early today. All were found huddled in heaps, the men evil dently having crowded into the slight est crevices in the mine corridors in hope of escaping the deadly gases and flames which swept through the workings following the explosion Several bodies were found near the ing fled before the flames and smoke within striking distance of fresh air, only to fall suffocated. The clothing was burned from the bodies and all were charred beyond recognition.
 The fire is still raging in the mine and work of searching for bodies still is dangerous. When the government mine rescue crew arrived late yester- day, from McAlester, one of the bis fans which was being worked full blast by the miners. was stopped iI hope of checking the flames. But, to day, the flames appeared to be spreading to every part of the work fngs.
 One old miner suggested that pos- sibly the entOmbed men had retreat ed to the innermost recesses of the mine and might be alive. Rescuers. however. do not believe this possible and a long line of rough wood collins ordered from McAlester are piled up near the shaft
 Ropes have been stretched about the shaft to prevent the grief-strick- en wives and children of the entomb. ed men from hampering the work of rescue but the women pleaded with the government crew to permit them to enter the mine and aid in the search. All night long scores of won. en and children held their places about the shaft.
 After six o'clock, the local telephone company refused to accept incoming husiness as their lines were swamped with messa ges of death being sent out by families of the men entombed. There were 116 men in the mine at the time of the explosion. Those taken out more dead than alive, were giv- an prompt medical treatment and probably will recover.

HURD WOULD SELL ALL OR NONE OF LAND Promise of HOtly Contested Legal Battle Over High
 School Site Condemnation Proceedings In- stituted in Sup-ame Court
 Today

| Further discussion of the new high school site at a special meeting of the board of education last night re- suited in the filing by Attorney Will liam B. Boardman, acting for City Attorney Pullman the papers pre- liminary to the condemnation pro- ceedings by which the board expects to acquire a strip of land in the rear of the Frank w. Hurd dwelling in Golden Hill street. Attorney Pullman is out of the city.
 The board met in special session ! last evening to formally consider the proposition of acquiring the entire Hurd tract, including the dwelling on Golden Hill street and the back lot extending through to Congress street. The first plans were to leave the dwelling and lot 60 by 15O feet to MT. Hurd and acquire the balance of the property, a strip approximately 75 by 300. with a frontage on Con- gress street.
 In the visit of the board to the various public schools Tuesday the discussion resulted in the calling of a special meeting to further consider the plans to buy the Hurd property, 1 house and all. List evening, however, the matter was threshed out more f fully and the plan to buy the house was given up, for the present at least. i The desire to buy the house grew out of expectation that the new building !, could be completed at a cost to per- init of the extra land purchase. l Commissioner Murphy, a practical builder, estimated for the board that to build a suitable structure to ac- commodate 1,500 pupils, with 1,700,- 900 cubic faet, the cost will be be- tween s325,0000 and $350,000. If the board fini1hed enough of the struc- ture for present needs, he said. the cost might be kept to between $780, 900 and S300,00O.
 During a telephone conversation with Attorney Sanford Stoddard, rep resenting MT. Hurd, while the board was in session, Commissioner John J Cullinan was notified that if the board decided to buy the entire Hurd prop erty the owner would content him. self with holding out for his price in the condemnation proceedings, but that if the board decided to take only the lot, every effort would be made to prevent the boards acquiring pos session of the lot.

ST, BENED|CT'S DAY
 OBSERVED BY. CHURCH TODAY

Today, is St. Benedict's Day, when the Catholic world honors the memory of the most illustrious leader in the early history of western monasticism, the founder of the celebrated Benedic- tine order. To St. Benedict more than to any other the monastic system, which exercised such a tremendous influence for centuries, owes its or ganization and extension St. Bene- dict instituted radical changes in the rules governing monasticism. It was his distinction that he not merely organized the monks into communi- ties, but based their community life, to a considerable degree, on manual labor, in contrast to the merely medi- tative seclusion which had pfevious- ly been in vogue both in the East and West. Labor and obedience were the two main principles of the Rene. dictine government.
 Benedict was born in Umbria in the year 4S0, and came of an old Italian family. He was educated in Rome. but the disorders and vices of the capital so preyed upon his mind that he fled from the capital and sought seclusion It was a time when the Roman empire was crumbling to it's doom, menaced by the barbarians ruption and vice within. Benedict
 took refuge in an all but inaccessible grotto near Subiaco. A kindly monk supplied him with food which he let down by a rope, with small bell at- tached, which gave the meditatins youth notice of the approach of the hamper of food Three years he spent thus alone, thinking and praying, when a concert of monks insisted up- on making him their chief In a lit- tie while, however, some of them en- gagged in a conspiracy against him. Hand he returned to his solitude in the grotto. His name and fame had spread, however, and multitudes gathered around him, among them many young patricians from Rome

SHAKE-u2 IN CHINA
 IS ON IN EARNEST
(special from United Press.

Tien Tsin. March 21-A general shake-up of Chinese officialdom is planned by President Yuan Shi Kai despite the troubles he is already en- countering in his efforts to control the army. He insists that there are many men holding high offices in the Chinese service who are utterly un. suited for their tasks and that it is their lack of executive ability and grating tendencies that have caused much of the internal dissension
 The first official to be removed was General Chan Tso Lin, the former mo- torious brigand who, as military com mander in Manchuria, has vxacted tribute from all classe-. He was ori- ginally given his job because he was robbing indiscrimina tely and it was believed if he had an official position he would curb his activities.
 Friends of the president insisted, today, that. if he persisted Tn his plan of reforming officialdom it would be only a question of a brief period be- fore the assassin's bullet or knife removed him.

who sought to follow his example. One of these was Maurus, who after.
 ward became Benedict's successor, and who, as St. Maur. is also enrolled among the saints of the church. Many monks and priests continued to be jealous of Benedict, however, and many schemes were matched to ac. complish his downfall. One of Ben edict's enemies, a priest named Flor. entius had recourse to the device of sending seven girls of the town to the monastery, to tempt the monks. This plan failed, also, but Benedict, after thirty years labor in that community, determined to depart from it. He settled at Monte Cassino, an isolated and picturesque hill near the source of the Liris. where an ancient temple of Apollo still stood, and where ig- norant peasants still brought their of- ferings to the gods. Benedict demol- ished the pagan temple and built on the site two oratories, one to St. Mar tin and the other to St. John the Bap- tist. Around these sacred spots there gradually arose the famous monas- tery which was destined to spread the fame of it's founder throughout the world. For fourteen years Benedict continued this great work. His sane
 tity and influence became greater with the passing of the years, and one of the barbarian kings who had invaded the empire. Totila, voluntar- fly soueht out Benedict and pros. trated himself at his feet, confessing his cruelties and seeking forgiveness. St. Benedict died standing. after par taking of the holy communion, and was buried beside his sister Scolas- tica, who had also devoted her life to the spread of the Christian faith.

Caught in the act of stealing a manicure set from the counter at the Jennie Hamilton pharmacy, last night, a man giving his name as John F. Henry, was recognized in the city court this morning as John Henry Kennedy, an old friend of the police, and an inveterate thief.
 Henry has served time in various cities around the State and the au- thorities are inclined to think that he is somewhat weak minded. He was sentenced to spend 30 days in jail, and before going up, was photograph ed and measured for the Bertillon system by Sergeant Haux.
 When Henry stepped into the court room, Prosecutor Delaney at once recognized him as Kennedy, and accoSted him as such. Detective Peter Hall also remembered him, so Kennedy dropped the pretended name and assumed his right one.

REFERRING DENIED
 SHOE TRUST'MEN
 BY JUDGE PUTNAM
Especial from United Press)

Boston, March 21-Judgs Putnam, in the United States District Court, to- day denied rehearing of the one count charging monopoly against Sid ney W. Winslow. president of the United Shoe Machinery Company; E. F. Hurd, B. H. Howe, William Bar bour and George w. Brown, directors of the corporation.
 This was the count which was sus- tained by Judge Putnam on March 2 in his opinion when he threw out four other counts in the two indict- ments returned. The defendants ask ed for a rehearing on the monopoly count because of the recent opinion handed down by the Supreme court sustaining the rights of patentees to impose restrictive conditions as to time, place and manner of the use of patented machinery
 The court, in its opinion, said:
 '"The petitioner relies on two prop ositions, one is that there is no ir- consistency on the part of the court in reference to pleading the leases re- lied on in the indictment. We regret that, instead of quoting authorized expressions we used a phrase which we thought was substantially clear and whose principles mislead coun- Sel''
