it was deferred.

In a gas explosion at the Scott
shaft, Susquehanna Coal company
operation, near Shamokin, Pa, two
men were instantly killed, one was ter
ribly mangled on the head, arms and
legs, four were burned, one was badly
squeezed and seven overcome by the
bald air which filled the workings i'm
mediately following the accident.
Twenty-four men narrowly escaped
death.
The dead are George Saduskie and
Steve Worgus.
The injured are: Lewis Harris, right
leg broken and crushed, internal injur-
les, fatal; Peter Harris, Stanny Yedo-
navage, Edward Becker, Stanny Sill
kus.
Seven other men were overcome by
the black damp following the explo-
sion and were rescued and resuscitat-
ed with much difficulty.
The scene at the top of the shaft
was distressing during the first two
hours. Hundreds of ears listened for
the tap of the gong in the engine
house ordering the engineer to hoist
the cage from the deep, indicating
that one or more dead or injured men
were about to be hoisted. AS each ar
rived at the surface the crowd was
eager to ascertain his or their names.

COKE RATES IN PA.
DOWN Il PER CENT,
Interstate Commerce Body Or
derSCut on Freight Charges.

General readjustment, with reduc-
tions of about II per cent on the
freight rates on coke from the Con-
nellsville region in Pennsylvania to
furnaces and steel mills, both east
and west, was ordered by the inter-
state commerce commission. Repara-
ton aggregating millions of dollars
was not allowed.
Five cases involving coke rates from
the Connellsville region have been un-
der consideration nearly year. The
principal one was brought by the Coke
Producers association of the Connells-
Vile region against the Baltimore &
Ohio, the Pennsylvania and several
other roads. 1t attacked as unreason-
able and unjustly discriminatory all
Connellsville coke rates and declared
they were preferential as compared
with West Virginia rates.
The commission held that the rates
to youngstown, Canton, Cleveland and
Toledo, O.; North Cornwall, Robesonia,
Reading and Philadelphia, Pa; Balti-
more, Md, and Newark, N. j., were un
reasonable and prescribed rates aver
aging about u per, cent lower than
existing rates, although in some in
stances no change was made. 1t also
was held that the present relationship
of rates between the Connellsville dis
trict and the Fairmont district in West
Virginia was not discriminatory
against the former or unduly prefer
entail to the latter.

engagement to Count Lionel Moretti

army.

COMMITTEE FOR
WOMEN'S VOTES
Senator Ashurst Reports FaV-
T.. orabIy For Franchise
He RECOMMENDS A TEST
Report Says Granting of Vote to Wo-
men Would Add to Justice ana FAIR
ness of Government.

Senator Ashurst submitted the re-
port of the woman's suffrage Commit
tee recommending the passage OF the
Chamberlain resolution for a coA:'itu-
tional amendment extending sun.2se
to women.
In this republic" says the report,
"the people constitute the govern
ment. They are It's creators and its
maintenance; they are the govern
ment The granting of the elective
franchise to women would add to the
strength, efficiency, justice and FAIR
ness of government, we have not the
slightest doubt.
1T is anomalous and archaic, in a
free republic, professedly made up OF,
controlled by, and administered for all
the people, to deny to one-half or lis
citizens the right of exercising val
liable function of citizenship, to wit,
the elective franchise, thus preclude
that one-haIf from the right and po "r
to say what law or policy shall L $
rule of conduct. And this anor3! i =
comes odious and abhorrent when e
reflect that the particular half c?
citizenship thus excluded is the ii IL
tical one-half from which springs 50
much wisdom, courage, cheer, hope
and good counsel"
The report sets forth that the things
to be considered in granting equal
franchise, are whether women as
class will vote whenever full oppor-
tunity is offered; attempt to compre-
hend the questions upon which they
vote; attempt to learn something or
the character and fitness Of the per-
son for whom they vote; vote against
dishonest persons for office; oppose
dishonest measures; refuse, directly
or indirectly, TO accept bribe, and
refuse, directly or indirectly, to give
bribe; place country above party; re-
cognize the result of the election as
the will of the people and therefore as
the-law end continue to fight for
righteous, although defeated, cause so
long as there is a reasonable hope OF
success"
1--WE submit" the report concludes,
"that the class of voters sought to be
enfranchised by this resolution an
swer each and everyone of these inter-
rogatories with distinguished credit to
itself and that it fully, fairly and in
good faith measures up to these re-
quirements. We, therefore, upon all
grounds, conclude that the resolution
should be submitted to the states for
their adoption or ratification"
Senator Ashurst said he would use
forceful energies to secure vote on
the resolution at the special session,
but that he would not press it in such
a way as to arouse opposition or inter-
fere with tariff legislation.

Committee of Union and progress
(Young Turks.
Many think the grand vizier was
killed in revenge for the murder OF
Nazim Pasha, commander-in-chief OF
the Turkish army, by Young Turks last
winter.
Mahmoud Schefket Pasha had held
office as grand yizier since Jan. 70 this
year, when kiamil Pasha resigned. ON
the same day Nazim Pasha, command
er-in-chief of the Turkish army at the
Tchatalja lines, was shot dead during
a demonstration in Constantinopie.
Mahmoud Schefket Pasha was
pure Arab, a native of Bagdad. He
was brought to Constantinople with
his family when ne was boy. he
graduated at the military school at the
age of eighteen years, with highest
honors.
Former Sultan Abdul Hamid appoint
ed him to the general staff. AfterWard
he went to Germany and for ten years
studied German army organization.
Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, despite his
intimacy with Abdul Hamid, was the
moving spirit in fostering the military
revolution which brought about that
sultan's fall. Soon after the outbreak
of the Balkan war, Mahmoud Schefket
Pasha was appointed chief Of the COM
missariat department of the Turkish
war Office, and he was one of those
present at the grand council of the
empire which decided in January Of
this year to accept the proposal of the
European powers to end the war.
