uncomfortable. He shut his eyes against

The Masked Minister.

The Masked Minister.
Being an angel must have this great
advantage at least, that one may sit in
the grandstand overlooking the earth
and enjoy the ludicrous blunder Of
that great blind mans buff we call
life.
This night, if any angels were
watching Chicago the Mallory mix-up
must have given them good laugh,
or a good cry-according to their ma
lures.
Here were Mallory and Marjorie,
still merely engaged, bitterly regret
ting their inability to get married and
to continue their journey together.
There in the car were the giggling
conspirators preparing a bridal mock
cry for their sweet confusion.
Then the angels might have nudged
one another and said:
} ooh. it's all right now. There goes

while. Oh, but you've earned it after

man in the little black hat and tho
close-fitting black bib. ''I'm so tires
Of it, Sally, don't want anybody on
the train to know it."
"They can't help guessing 1t, with

And then the amazing minister act
ually dared to say, Here's where

actually did it. Actually took off his
collar and buttoned 1t to the front.

THIRTEEN ARE
BELIEVED TO Be
DEAD IN MINE
Explosion in Colorado Shaft
Entombs Night Shift;
Rescuers Face Difficulty
In Entering the Mine.

Trinidad, Colorado, June 19. -
Thirteen miners are entombed and
are believed to be dead as a result OF
an explosion in the new slope of the
Hastings mine Of the Victor American
Fuel Co., shortly after midnight. An.
ether miner, badly injured, has been
rescued. The mine is located sixteen
miles north of Trinidad.
The main slope is badly caved and
rescuers have been able to make but
little prograss. Rescue equipment IS
being rushed to the scene.
The mine officials believe the ex-
plosicn was caused by a windy shot"
which set off quantity of gas. The
explosion took place in the new slope
of the mine, 5000 feet from the mouth
Of the mine where development work
is in progress. The fourteen men who
were in the night shift were shot
firers and entry men. A large force OF
rescuers from adjoining mines Is at
work.
Rescuers who entered the mine
early today returned soon afterward
with Greek who was badly burned.
A number Of bodies have been located,
according to the mine sllnerintendent
who came out after a hasty investiga-
ton. Both the main slope and the new
air course, the only means of exit, are
badly caved. He thinks the thirteen
men were killed. Air is being forced
into the wrecked entry and the res
cuers hope to recover the bodies
within few hours.
The Hastings Is one of the largest
producers in the southern Colorado
fields. The main portion of the colliery
has not been damaged.
The coroner's office here has, re-
ceived orders for thirteen coffins.

Roosevelt, After Conference
With His Leaders, Decides
Not to Visit the Conven-
tion Hall.
HAS TICKETS FOR
QUICK ADMISSION
Colonel Discusses Plans of
Action on Floor Of the
Meeting and Will Be in
Constant Communication.

Chicago, June 19.-It is understood
that one of the questions discussed at
the conference of the Roosevelt leaders
this morning related to the advisabillty
of the colonel going to the convention
hall to direct his fight at closer range
than from his hotel. This was talked
over at some length and 1t was de-
cided that temporarily at least the
plan pursued by Mr.. Roosevelt yester-
day should be followed to keep IN
close touch with his leaders by means
Of the telephone. :,
Col. Roosevelt has been supplied
with bunch Of tickets admitting
bearer to seat on the platform.
Whence these tickets came was not
given out.
r. r. Blood surged.
Theodore Roosevelt had his fighting
blood surging early today and from
the moment he reached his conference
quarters in the Congress hotel until
his field captains left for the conven-
ton hall there was unusual scurry1ng
about.
Senator Dixon, the campaign man
ager, Gov. Hadley, floor leader OF the
Roosevelt force; Geo. w. Perkins,
Clifford Pinchot and others most init.
mately in the colonels confidence had
a long conference early In the morn
ing and were closeted with Mr.. Hoose-
velt later for more than an hour.
Gov. Hadley said after the consulta-
ton of the leaders, just before going
to Mr.. Roosevelt's rooms, that he
thought there would be no change IN
the convention program of the Roose-
welt forces.

every inch OF the ground said GOV.
Hadley. 1T is the present Intention
to renew Immediately today our de.
mand that the convention be purged
of the fraudulent delegates until the
credentials committee can act.
know of nothing to interfere with that
program"
Some of the friends of Mr.. Roose-
yelt were not SO certain that the col
onel would not have some other plan
in his mind which might upset things.
That the colonel has taken absolute,
dominating control Of the situation
seems a certainty. He issued orders
like an officer In the field and
had messengers rushing about with
messages for the Roosevelt leaders
who came in haste to his quarters.
"The colonel is absolute boss" said
one Of the Roosevelt lieutenants this
morning 1--WE know Of no change IN
the campaign plans up to date but he
might change them at any moment
That Roosevelt will order q with
drawal of his delegates from the hall
IL the credentials committee fails to
unseat the protested eighty delegates
included in the appeal submitted by
Gov Hadley, was the most discussed
proposition around headquarters just
before the convention opened for the
second day On every hand 1t was
agreed that this development was GER
tain to follow approval Of the national
committees action. 1t was also ex.
pected as another certainty that
Roosevelt cannot take from the con-
vention some of his pledged delegates

AlSO-RAN FOR
SECOND PLACE
IS SUGGESTED
Democratic Leaders Discus
sing Which One Of First
Defeated Candidates Will
Play Second Fiddle.

Baltimore, Md, June 10. Pre-.
liminary to the meeting of the
arrangements committee to select the
temporary officers of the democratic
national convention there was further
discussion today Of the proposition to
have the candidates who received the
second highest number of votes on
the final ballot accept the nomination
of vice president. National Commit.
teeman Daniels of North Carolina, is
strongly urging this proposition to his
fellow committeeman.
"Of course all the presidential can
didates said they would not accept
second place on the ticket but what
else could they say at this time?" said
Committeeman Daniels, who added
that the makeup Of the ticket from
the geographical standpoint would be
satisfactorily brought about by the
adoption"
The headquarters OF the various
PRESIDENT candidates were in full
swing today and the rival camps
issued hourly Chains OF victory.
Secretary Woodson said that all
Of the contests received so far were
quite minor in character.
"All in all don't believe there will
be more than forty seats contested
said Secretary Woodson, "and these
represent perhaps half dozen delega.
tions. No one of them is serious"
Lieutenant Governor J. Taylor Eli.
son of Virginia, the national commit
teeman from that state, says the sew
eral candidates in the field will re
ceive part of the vote cast.
Virginia will be satisfied with any
good candidate said Mr. Ellison,
''our state has no candidates of its
own"
