FIVE FATALLY
BURNED IN BIC
MINE EXPLOSION
Windy Shot in Hymera, Ind,
Mine is Thought to Have
Been Responsible For In
jurieS to Miners.

HYMERA, Ind. Aug. 2.-Five men
were probably fatally burned and IS
others dangerously hurt in a dust ex-
plosion at Jackson Hill mine No. 2,
three miles east of here Friday. 1t
is supposed the dust was fired by a
windy shot. The mine property was
heavily damaged. Rescuers succeeded
in bringing out all the injured miners.
The victims who are believed to be
fatally injured are:
John Gilmore, James Pierson, sr.,
Larkin Woodruff, Israel Blevins and
David Bryan.
The seriously injured:
David Bryan, George Jordan, -
Shipley. William Keeser, j. j. Raj
ston, George Levering. Rush Batson.
Charles May, William Leonard, John
Phipps, Jake Zercst. Charles Bose,
James PiersOn. jr.. Ferdering, d. D.
Davis, Frank Zakarouski, Ezra
Blevins.
Many of the men were uncon-
sciOus when taken from the mine
and none was able to give an account
of the cause of the explosion. The
mine is owned by the Jackson Hill
Coal Co. of Terre Haute, Ind. More
than $50 miners are employed in the
mine but many of them had left the
shaft at the time of the explosion.
Are Brought TO Surface.
A relief squad was organized hur-
riedly and the miners many of them
unconscious, were borne to the sur
face where they were given medical
attention and rushed to their homes.
Many whose other injuries were
slight, were overcome by gas and
were unable to assist in the work of
rescue. DR.. Thralls and other ply
sicians were called and worked hero
ically TO revive the victims as rapid
ly as they were brought out.
While il is believed all of the vic
Tins were rescued, a few were re-
ported missing and the rescuers were
still engaged in the search Friday
night. Those whose injuries did not
render them helpless took a hand in
the relief work and many women,
wives, daughters and mothers of the
stricken men also bent their aid in
attending the injured.
Many of the miners probably will
lose their sight and others who have
a chance for recovery likely will be
manned for the rest of their lives.
Few escaped severe burns and for
time it was believed the dead list
would be large.
Homes near the scene of the eXplO-
sion were improvised hurriedly as
hospitals where the injured men were
taken while their wounds were
dressed.
During the excitement Immediately
following the explosion. the wives and
other relatives of miners known to
be employed in the mine besieged the
rescuers frantically appealing for
news of their loved ones. AS each
body was brought to the surface the
throng pressed eagerly forward and
not until late Friday night was the
anxiety abated when most of the
miners were accounted for.
An investigation probably will be
begun Saturday to ascertain the
cause of the explosion.

BELIEVE THEY KNOW
THE DIAMOND THIEF
Police Are Watching House at
Providence, R. l. Claim
Man Got Acquainted With
the Servants.

NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l.,
Aug. 2.-Private detectives Friday
night watched a residence in a suburb
OF Providence. This home is the long
sought fence" for the gang of thieves
who recently obtained more than "A
quarter of a million dollars worth of
jewelTy here, according TO the theory
OF one of the four detective agencies
engaged on the rObberies. The Occu-
pant of the house cannot escape sur
veillance, but the police have no posi-
tive evidence on which TO proceed
against him. Another detective agency
is watching a house in South Boston,
believing it to be either the head
quarters Of the jewelry stealing band
or the home of their agents.
Mrs. J. II. Hanan, who lost $3.50,
900 worth of jewels, has placed her
case in the hands of a firm Of detec-
tives at Providence. New York de-
tectiVes are intrusted with the mission
of recovering the jewelry of Mrs.
Charles c. Rumsey, estimated to be
worth S125.0O0. Several detectives
were sent Friday TO New York. Bos-
ton and other points to which more
or less vague clues led.
According 10 the detectives watch
ing the house near Providence. the
suspect made a special tour, taking
servants on automobile rides, utiliz-
ing the opportunity to obtain infOr-
nation OF the habits Of the families
in which his guests were employed.
1t is claimed that the touring car
seen near the Rumsey cottage Satur-
day night corresponds with the ma
chine owned by the suspect and that
this automobile, occupied by three
servants and the owner. was driven
through Providence on the night Of
the Hanan robbery at so high a speed
as to attract attention. The man who
is being watched is said 10 be sus-
pected not only of maintaining a
fence" but also of being the guiding
mind Of the rObberies.
Chief Caswell OF the Pier police.
announced Friday night that he knew
the number OF the mysterious auto
mobile and intimated that the clue
pointed in the direction Of Provi-
dence.
Although Mrs. Hanan has been in
sistent heretofore that the robbery
was the work OF professional thieves.
she took a different attitude Friday
night.
Il honestly believe il was an inside
lob as the mysterious detectives
phrase it," she said. Il suppose they
suspect some OF my servants. but
do not suspect anyone. / would al
most rather lose the jewels than find
that any OF my servants whom 1 have
had in my employ for years. had been
unfaithful."

THE BEST .ANTlDoTE FOR A ;
POISONED TONGUE
The other day, in st. Joe, Mo-,
scandal-peddling gossip went to
mother with false story of her 10
year-old daughters alleged miscon-
duct; and the shame Of it so weighed
on the girls mind that she committed
suicide.
Wisconsin has just amended its
libel law so that persons who utter
SANDER malciously are made liable
to imprisonment for one year or
fine of $3.50. The act provides that
all SANDER shall be deemed malicious
if no justification can be shown.
To go to law to prove the falsity
of scandalous gossip is not a pleasant
task; but if ever punishment is de-
served it is in case like that in st.
Joe.
There is a simple rule which, if
generally adhered to, would add i'm
mensely to peace and happiness.
If you can't find something kind
and of good report to say about a
neighbor who isn't running for ott1ee
or otherwise challenging public scru-
tiny, say nothing.
Before you spread an evil report,
think twice.
You have undoubtedly had expert
ence with two kinds of tale-bearers
those who take delight in putting
the worst possible construction on a.
neighbours conduct, and those who
are kindly, charitable and eager to
emphasize the better side.
There isn't any doubt, is there,
that the latter kind makes by far the
pleasanter companion? And has
more friends?

reach by punitive laws; and although

to the Japanese army as a reergan-
izer and upbuilder in the days when
Japan was just getting tired of the
hmona and was being measured for
its first frock coat and silk hat.
He was a vice minister Of the army
from 1886 to 1891, during which
time he laid the foundations for the
present efficient organization.
During the war with China he COM
manded a division and was the first
Japanese governor of Formosa, the
big island that was the fruit of that
war. He was war minister from 1898
to 1900, when he put the finishing
touches on the. great military ma
chine he started, and then from 1901
to 1906 he was premier and ran
things during the war with Russia.
He was called again to the premier
ship in 1908 and retired only short
time ago.
In the present state of popular

general disapproval of the present

who holds the key to the situation.
