western Newspaper Union News Service
 New Castle, Colo.-Thirty-ei men were killed in the Vulcan mine of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company by an explosion of coal dust. Two union miners were rescued after the under. ground workings had caught fire All the victims were married, and all but Six or eight were Americans
 Men in charge of the rescue work asserted that it probably would be a day or two before the bodies can be recovered. Before sundown the mine had been cleared of gas, and a thor ough exploration of the wrecked work ings was made
 Many of the bodies were mangled and burned.
 The Vulcan mine was only about a year old and was equipped with mod ern safety devices. It is believed the explosion was caused by an accumu- lation of dust in the west portion of the mine, where work practically had been abandoned. Most of the dead were found in the east working, to which the explosion was communicat- ed
 This fall the employees of the mine were called out on a strike by the United Mine Workers of America, but some of them had gone back to work The other victims of the disaster were strikebreakers

Public Service to Try Out
Transfer-Issuing Machine

Since machines have been so sue
cessful in. taking fares from the pub
lie on trolley cars the Public Service
Railway Company has decided to try
out a machine now that will give
the public transfers. This. innova-
ton will aid both the conductor and
the passengers and is particularly
adapted to pay-as-you-enter cars
The transfer machine is connected
with the foot lever of the fare box
and every time the conductor regis
ters fare out comes little transfer
from the new machine. Now it will
be all UP to the public and the Public
Service could employ one-armed men
IL they desired.
The transfer device is equipped
with clock so that the exact time
of the issue of the transfer iA auto
matically stamped thereon. If the
device proves successful 1t will be
installed on all the local and subur-
ban lines controlled by the Public
Service Company within the State.

FREIGHT STEAMER
SINKS IN HARbOR
Zulia, of Red D Line, Is Victim
of Peculiar Ac-
cident.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9-The freight
steamer Zul'a of the Red D Inc sank
in twenty-five fe of smooth harbor
waters today, victim of a shipwreck
that would have done credit to a
storm in mid-Atlantic. The cost of
salvaging her cargo and the loss is
estimated at 100000.
The Zulia lay in the East river
last night taking on a miscellaneous
freight for Caracas, Venezuela, when
forged steel shaft eighteen feet
long broke from its hosting sings
and pierced the ships bottom like
projectile. Water came pouring
through a six-inch hole and she be-
gan to sink. For several hours the
crew tried in vain to stop the leak
and fight the inrushing deluge with
pumps, then gave up the struggle
and abandoned the ship.
A wrecking tug took the Zulia in
tow and started for a drydock. Prog
ress was slow, and before the dock
was reached the steamship sank 400
feet from shore. No/one was aboard
when the Zulia went down.
