ALEC Stayed the small naples for all
they were worth.
The Journal boys won two ont Of
three games from the strong Virginian
team last Wednesday night. The
Journal boys have strengthened and
nothing but a good showing is expect
ed from them. The team liz composed
of mostly new bowlers. At first the
foul line had their goat, but they
proved different last Wednesday night.
Keep up the good work, boys.

letter the president declared that the
most important argument in favor of
immediate currency revision was based
on the statement that II should leave
the financial world prepared to deal
with any possible stringency that may
result from the new tariff legislation.

position 10 withstand them under a
new and elastic system than that
which now obtains.
VIII Read Message.
1t vas learned today that President
Wilson will read his %oanking and cur
rencY message to congress.
The White House was not remotely
disturbed today by suggestions of
Representative Henry, of Texas, that
Wall street liz doing the yelling for a
new currency. bill. n h a further
investigation of the money trust
should precede new currency laws,

new regime set in. and has not been
consulted by the President as TO i'm
portant legislation.
Pessimistic opinions that currency
legislation will not be accomplished
at this session continue to reach the
president. He has been told fatty
by friends that IL will be impossible
TO hold the senate in Washington for
currency after a tariff bill gets
through in August. No president has
ever yet been able to do this. August
weather and the long and tiresome
grind preceding the final passage of
the tariff bill will he sufficient. the
president has been told, to- bring about
adjournment OF congress and the
sending of the problem over until
next winter
Wilson Optimistic.
The president, however, is optl-
mistIc and is depending upon a whole
some public demand for currency re-
form to keep h dlgnifed and indie
pendent senate on its hot weather
griddle until the Job is finished. The
pessifnist prophets are willing 10
stake much on their accuracy of tudg-
ment as to the outcome of IL all.
The president Is counting on har-
monious backing among Democrats
for the bill he will finally indorse, but
predictions continue to he made that
he cannot hold his party together on
this question as he did and will do on
the tariff.

There has been some objections raised

CRASH or GRANITE
KILLS ELEVEN men
SECTION OF NEW YORK SUBWAY
CAVES IN, BURRYING
wORKMEN.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Eieven men
were killed and two were injured to-
night, when a section of the lower
floor express level Of the Lexington
avenue subway, under construction. at
Fifty-sixth street and Lexington ave-
nue., caved in. With a roaring sound,
1900 tons Of granite ripped loose from
the top of the excavation and smashed
into %splinters on the rock bottom be-
Meath.
The part OF the root that fell Is
probably about forty feet long. There
is twenty fee OF solid rock between
the local and express levels of the
subway at this point. and much OF
this was loosened at a width OF per-
haps thlrty-five or forty feet.
At 10 o'clock tonight the rescuers
had got out two men who were only
touched by tho fringe OF the mass Of
rock. and three others, all OF whom
were dead. Parts of three bodies
could be seen where half-ton rocks in
falling had bridged over.
The gang foreman in charge said
that his records showed there are five
more men buried deeper In the wreck
age. There is not a nance OF life
for any of these.

company. which has the contract to

The men who were killed all be-
longed to the gang whose duty it was
to fill the bucket.
A heavy charge of dynamite tore
loose several tons of rock Just before
6 o'clock tonight, and Superintendent
Wallace, in charge of the work, put
his men to work filling the bucket
so the hole could be freed OF h
wreckage.
The men had the bucket half-flled
when the cave-in occurred. Directly
above where the men were working
a piece of stone. which weighed eve
tons, jerscd itself free and fell on the
bucket crushing 1t in half. Almost
before the huge stone had landed the
entire roof of h excavation wrenched
itself free. Solid pieces Of rock, vary
ing in size from a hundred pounds
or so up to pieces of several tons,
pulled loose with a crash that could be
heard all the way to the street.
The laborers were flattened beyond
recognition.
Coroner H~oltzhauser said 1t was the

had ever encountered in his expert
ence as a coroner
