Chicago Woman Claims To Have
Received Tt.


Mrs. Cora L. v. Richmond, pastor
of the the church of Soul, claims to
have received spirit message from
w. T. Stead, the London journalist
who was victim of the Titanic dis
aster. Mrs. Richmond says that for
years she was an intimate friend Of
Mr.. Stead. The alleged message was
read by Mrs. Richmond as follows:
There is no death One can only
know it by experience. Most people
hesitate, dread the change. To me
life was one brief promotion
"A warning word, written by my
son, through my own hand, made it
known to me that the ship would
go down just as soon as it struck
the berg.
Il was ready. Still there was such
brief time to prepare-so little real
preparation on that gigantic ship
for such an emergency.

could be done we had to go. The
cries of agony we're terrible.

ASSERTS THAT TAFT
IS FORGING AHEAD
New York Herald Thinks ROos-
eVeIt Is Slipping Back.
indications Are, So that Paper Says,
that Republican National Commit
tee Will Decide Who Con
trolls Convention.

The New York Heralds review OF
the Republican presidential campaign
is as follows:
President Taft forging ahead Mr..
Roosevelt slipping back. That is what
an impartial canvass of the Repub-
lican presidential situation shows at
the close of the third week since Mr..
Roosevelt threw his chat into the
ring"
Present indications are that the con-
vention will break all records for con-
testing delegations and that the ma
tional committee will in reality de-
eide which faction will control the con-
vention The Taft men are strongly
in control Of the committee, and =
has been the history of political par
ties that when things are close the
dominant side decides in it's own la
VOr.
Up to date President Taft has 1873
delegates instructed, pledged or favor
able to him, as against 20 for Roose-
welt, for Senator Cummins and 10
for Senator -LaFollette.
Mr. Roosevelt has failed to develop
strength where it was confidently be-
lieved he would; as, for instance, in
North Dakota. where Senator LaFol-
lette in the first preferential primary
test defeated him by a large majority.
The president has gained unexpect-
eddy in Iowa. Indications are the
president will have six of the eleven
districts. OF the county delegates
elected in the Iowa state convention
thus far Mr.. Taft has 552, Mr.. Cum
Minis 1877 and Mr.. Roosevelt "A.
In Wisconsin it is a clearly drawn
issue between the president and Mr..
LaFollette Mr.. ROosevelts name was
ruled off the primary ballot by the
secretary of state.
Mr. Taft leads in Michigan, but Mr..
Roosevelt has a following that must
be reckoned with.
In Nebraska Mr. Taft is gaining,
but not enough, it appears, to head
off a solid delegation for Mr.. RoOse-
welt.
Mr.. Taft leads in Illinois, but local
conditions there make it difficult to
estimate what may happen.
In Minnesota Mr.. Roosevelt, accord
ing to town primaries, is a strong ia
vOrite. In fact, there is hardly any
second.
Pennsylvania shows a strong Roose-
welt sentiment in the northwestern
section. Allegheny county, it is de-
clared, will give him six out of eight
delegates. Mr.. Roosevelt is expected
to show considerable strength through
out Pennsylvania.

116 MINERS ENTOMBED
Terrible Colliery Disaster Co.
ours in Oklahoma.

At McCurtain, in Oklahoma, four

Cured. The rescue makes a total Of

from the workings and has aroused
hope for the safety of others of the
116 miners trapped by the explosion.
Fifteen bodies had been recovered
at last reports. This leaves seventy
six still imprisoned Or dead in the
shaft, if the total of 116 at work at
the time of the explosion is correct
An appeal for aid for the families Of
the victims has been issued at mass
meeting.
During the night many bodies, black
ened and mutilated almost beyond reg
ognition, were recovered, and others
located.

GAS BLAST KILLS NINE
Seven Children Among Victims of Ac

Near Scranton, Pa, nine per-

lieved to have been caused by mine

Lives-Untold Misery Evident.

Hickman, Ky.-With a roar tha'
could be heard for miles the MlSFIS
SpDi river flood burst through pe

Hickman Saturday and is racing over
several counties in Kentucky and Ten

$50 square miles of farming lands in
Fulton county, Kentucky, and Lake
and Obion counties, Tennessee, Will

Is felt for the safety of farmers IN
remote sections OF the sparscly set
tied country. The water, when II
came through. tore gap sixty feet in
width in the levee, and the swirl!ng
current Is fast eating away the earth
work and widening the breach.
Reelfoot Lake, as it Is generally
known, has been reported as a dan
ger point for week, and strenuous
efforts have been made to hold the
flood. Farmers and business men
have worked almost continuously Tor
several days and nights in gangs with
government laborers. Until, when
waves driven by a high wind began
to beat against the banks, it was
thought that the fight would be won.
The battle was at its height at the
end. When the collapse came the
workers were compelled to run for
their lives, number making their
way to Hickman afoot, while others,
marooned beyond the break, were res
cued in gasoline launches.
The Reeltoot basin, over which the
water is forming a blanket, is made
up of small farming communities.
The structures which house the farm
ers are generally frail buildings, and
with the great rush OF the flood are
being swept away as Chatf before the
wind. A number of the residents had
abandoned their homes and with
their families sought safety in the
towns on surrounding hills, but
others, more optimistic as to the abi-
ity of the wall to hold back the rag
ing water, remained on their lands.

made to communicate with the scat
tered villages by telephone, but with
little success. Considerable live stock
