Pittsburgh, April 25.-The lives Of
100 miners, possibly lG0, were snulfed
out when an explosion occurred in
the Cincinnati mine of the Mononga-
hela River Consolidated Coal and
Coke company at Finleyviile, about
u miles southeast Of this city over
three score of WOrkmen in the mine
made thrilling escapes to the sur
face, crawling on their hands and
knees through deadly gas fumes and
over debris A number sustained
Durns.
Seventy bodies OF victims have
been recovered. The bodies were To-
Gated by rescuing squads Of the Unit
ed States, Bureau of Mines, the Mo
nongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke company, and of the Pitts
burgh Coal company.

was carried to the entries. None of

DIGNITY OF STATE IS At STAKE
Johnson SAYS ALIEN LAW is

California Not Responsible Because

sacramento, Cal, April 26.-Not the

California, is at stake in the contro-
versy over the anti-alien land la.w. ac-
cording to Governor Johnson, and if
the plans OF the majority party here
give Ottense TO the government at To
klo, the California executive absolves
the state from blame on the ground
that federal statutes already have
drawn the line which the state now
seeks 10 establish.
Governor Johnson defined the 20
sition of the legislative majority in
the matter, trusting that Secretary Of
State Bryan, VINO is en- route from
Washington to Sacramento to present
the views Of the federal administra-
ton, might learn thereby the atti-
tude Of California towards a law de-
nying land ownership in the state to

Such law is being drafted by Sen
ator Thompson. 1t will be known as

decisions as ineligible to citizenship

If the justice of this view is con
ceded by Secretary Bryan in the con
ference he will hold with the governor
and members OF the legislature, there
is little doubt that the Thompson bill
will pass, unless Secretary Bryan
states reasons Of great urgency and
