DISASTER IN MIAMI
 MINE; 100 MEN 1 INJURED
THREE KILLED AND FOUR FA- TALLY HURT-TONS OF CAP
 PING DOWN STOPES.

GLOBE, April 17-An air blas gen rated by the fall of 3,000,0O0 tons
 of capping of the Miami mine, sever today and injured 100 others, four ia | tally.
 The blast was so terrific that ir
 the drifts on the 400 foot level ore
 was blown from 25 to 100 feet
 Three hundred men had gone on
 shift shortly before the cave-in A rum bling preceded che fall and warn ed them in time, so that many could get out of the danger zone Then several hundred feet of capping went crashing down the stones.
 An investigation has been ordered by the Miami Copper company of statements made by miners that the cave-in was the result of improper de- velopment work.
 The accident is considered one of the most unusual character and is new to copper mining in the south west. That there was danger of the collapse of the capping into the mine workings was undreamed of.
 The development of the Miami has been in progress for more than four years and has been watched with the greatest of expert care. Recent inspection of the mine by Park Chan ming and other widely famed engin- eers was followed by expression Of opinion that the mining system being followed not only gave excellent re suits in ore production but also pro- vided abundant safety for the men underground.
 The loss to the Miami by reason of the disaster will be large but is con- sidered by the officials of the eon- pany as of minor importance in com- parison with the injuries sustained by it's men and the grsHf brought directly to the families of the killed and the hurt and indirectly to the ell tire community.
 While the most of the men lived in a Miami, all were well known in Globe and since the news of the acci- dent, which stunned the entire sec ton, there has been gloom through out the entire district.
 The eastern offices of the Miami wired Miami imme ediately upon learn ing of the accident to let nothing go for the injured and their families.

NO MILEAGE IN SIGHT.

That those members of the legisIa- ! ture who remained in Phoenix dur ing the interim between the third and fourth extra sessions will not be allowed to collect mileage, was the statement made at the capitol build- ing this morning. It is understood Attorney General Bullard has noti- fled Auditor Callaghan not to issue mileage warrants to members unless they actually returLed to their homes in the week that intervened between the two sssions.
 It was expected that Bullard would take this action, as at the cOnvening of the third extra session he refused to permit the payment of mileage to Sam Bradner of the Cochise delega- tion, who had remained in Phoenix between the two sessions.
 Attorney General Bullard takes the position that the mileage appropria- tiOn was made f"r the purpose of members for railroad fare actually spent, and not to pay their expenses while they loafed around Phoenix

Secretary Houston Forecasts Reor'

Department.

| Washington-Reor OF the
department of agriculture is fore.
! Swallowed in Secretary Houston's first
annual report presented to President
Wilson. A plan to be submitted to
congress in the fiscal estimates for
| 1916 proposes to carry out the work
of the department in five or six main
groups, such as research, state rela'
tions, rural organization, forest sery'
ice. weather and regulation. Such a
plan Secretary Houston believes will
promote coordination.
Plans for redistricting the country
for the enforcement of the pure food
law are announced, and the secretary
announces his intention to ask for au.
thority to prepare amendments to
the pure food law to improve the
food supply, protect the public health
and promote uniformity in food leg
islation.
Free distribution of seeds by con.
gressmen should be discontinued the
secretary recommends. He would con.
duct in it's stead a constructive work
in securing and distributing new seeds
and plants.
Conditions vary widely in the Unit.

farmers do not equally need better
credit arrangements, and all sections
are not similarly circumstanced. Ii
contends that when all necessary al.
lowance has been made for fundamen.
tai factors, it is probably clear that
the rural communities are not as eff
fciently served as they should be by
existing financial arrangements. The
secretary believes there does not APP
pear to be need for unique or special
legislation which shall aim to give
the farmer credit on easier terms
than other members of society. What
is needed is the creation of conditions
and machinery which shHll enable
him on similar credit foundations to
secure money at the same rates as
those that prevail for other classes
and for other sections.

The following message received

DECIDES SCHOOL CONTROL SUIT.
Case of Normal and Business College at
Henderson Decided.


Jackson.-Control of the Nationa
Teachers Normal and Business Collegt
at Henderson, Tenn, an institution es
tablished in 1907, which now has an en-
rollment of more than 500 students, was
involved in lawsuit decided at cham
beers of Judge +. l.. Bullock.
In an exhaustive opinion, in which the
facts and the law in the case were re-
viewed at length, Judge Bullock dismiss
! ed the bill of the compliments, ]. +,
o Neal ct al, who brought the suit in
the chancery court of Chester county
| against A. G. Freed ct al.
All the parties to the suit are citizens
of Henderson, the complainants and de-
PENDANTS representing opposing factions
of stockholders in the corporation which
founded the school.
The action was brought by the com
plainaRts to have the management of the
school removed from the hands of A. G.
Freed and n. B. Hardeman, who are now
operating the institution under lease.
The compliments sought to have the
court declare this lease void, sought an
injunction restraining the defendants
from foreclosing deed of trust on the
property and sought to nave the deed OF
trust declared void
From the complicated state of facts
existing in the case, it appears that in
1908 the corporation which founded the
school gave deed of trust to the prop
erty to Messrs. Freed and Hardeman to
secure them in sums amounting to $780,
900, which they had advanced for the
erection of the college building, and at
the same time the school, property was
leased to Messrs. Freed and Hardeman
for term of 10 years.
The object of the bill of O'Neal and
Others was to have these transactions set
aside and the building restored to the
control of the original company Of
which they were stockholders. Various
allegations of collision and fraud were
made.
The defendants filed a demurrer to
the bill denying the allegations made ana
contending that the complainants had
no right to pursue a proceeding of the
kind instituted as individual stockhold.
ers, without having first made a demand
on the corporation to bring the action.
In the opinion of the chancellor, the
latter issue was determinatiye of the
lawsuit, but the allegations of colu-
sion and fraud were also held to be in
sufficient and unsubstantiated.

Despite the assertions OF Mr.. J.
Pierpont Morgan to the contrary.
the American people will be slow to
believe that there does not now ex-
il something in this country which,
ii it is not in reality a money trust.
i, at least an alarmingly strong or
ganization that has within its power
the control OF the money of the en-
tire country. The recent investiga-
tons into the so-called money trust
have revealed several potent facts,
and in addition have been remark
ably free from sensationalism. 1t is
a significant condition OF affairs that
makes possible the control by a group
OF % or 80 men a sum OF money
equal to 25 times the national debt.
Yet such a condition exists, and
Mir. Morgan and his coterie OF finan-
ciers actually have at their command
S25 900 100000 through a system OF
banks established upon their own
personal regulations for honesty and
fair dealing.
1t is safe to say that the peer OF
all financiers OF today is Mr.. Morgan
liz his testimony before the congreS-
SIGNAL committee Mr. Morgan very
frankly admitted his power to make
or break men by granting or refus-
ing loans at critical times. He also
admitted the system of interlocking
