50 MINERS PERISH
BLACK DAMP CAUSES DISASTER
IN COLORADO COAL MINE.
Dead Badly MangIed, Making identi-
fication Practically impossible
Only Two Are Found Alive.

New Castle, Colo, Dec 18.-An ex-
plosion of black damp in the. Vulcan
mine of the Rocky Mountain Fuel COM
pany, one and ore-half miles east Of
here, entombed L. L. Crawford, mine
foreman; L. Walker, fire boss, and 3S
miners on Tuesday.
OF the 40 men composing the day
shift at work only, two, w. J. Finley
and John Dawson, escaped.
Thousands of frantic women and
children gathered at the mine watch
ing rescuers bring out the bodies OF
victims. All the 38 victims were at
work in the lower level, every nook
and Granny of which was penetrated
by the single, all-enveloping crash of
one explosion The two survivors
worked above the two upper levels in
which air passages prevented the col
lecting of the deadly dust particles.
The work of taking out the bodies
commenced shortly after the explo-
sion occurred. The men were horri-
bly, mangled and Identification was
difficult, but they we're gradually
checked off from the time card.
So all-pervading was the explosion
that it swept the mine free from dust
and the rescue work was conducted
by men with open lamps in their caps
and without the oxygen helmets.
The scene at the mine mouths was
more distressing than customary in
such disasters, for the last flicker of
hope for life had died away. A major
ity of the dead men were Americans.

NER CAUSES INQUIRY.
by President to Reprimand
Officials in Burlesque.

Washington, Dec ,17.-An investiga-
tion was ordered on Monday by Presi-
dent Wilson by the war and navy de-
partments of the satires on the admin
istration's Philippine policy which
featured the annual banquet of the Or
der of Carabao. an organization of
army and navy officers who served in
the islands.

retaries Garrison and Daniels repri-
mands for those responsible.
The secretaries conferred and called
for statement of explanation from
Rear Admiral Howard and Quarter
master General Aleshire, the highest
ranking officers at the dinner.
Secretary Daniels at the same time
suggested to Admiral Howard that he
decline the presidency of the order,
to which he was elected last Thurs
day, and informed him that the song
Damn, Damn, Damn the Insurrectos," !"
which was sung at the banquet, would
never be sung again under the present
administration with officers of the
navy present.
The president expressed his indigna-
tion to members of his cabinet after
he had read published accounts of the
banquet He felt particularly dis
pleased over the travesty on the ad-
ministration's peace policy and criti-
cisms aimed at Secretary Bryan when
three six-foot models of battleships,
borne by concealed boys, were carried
into the banquet room.
In the muzzle of the guns were
stuck nosegays, and the milk-white
dove was perched on the fighting top.
They were named the 'fU. s. s. Eel
'lowship," "U. s. S. Friendship and
'U. s. s. Pif1e."
Another satire was moving-picture
film of three-year pursuit of Fill
pino colonel, who time and again es-
capped capture, and hardly had been
apprehended when he was made gov
ernor Of province.
Secretaries Daniels, Redfield and
Postmaster General Burleson and Jus.
tees Vandeventer and McKenna of
the United States Supreme court were
among the guests.

MICHIGAN COURT HIT
LEADER OF COPPER MINERS AS
SERTS JUDGES OWN STOCK
AND ARE INFLUENCED.
GOTHAM GUNMEN EMPLOYED
Vice-President of Labor Body Appears
Before House Committee at Wash
ington and Says That Operators
Have System of Peonage.

Washington, Dec. 19.-C. E. Ma
honey of Denver, vice-president of the
Western Federation of Miners, ap-
committee on rules and charged that
justices of the supreme court of Mich
igan are either stockholders in cop
per mines affected by the strike or are
"keenly interested"
He gave this as the reason for
his organizations appeal to congress
for federal investigation of the cop
per strike. The Mcdonald resolution
calling for the inquiry was before the
committee.
Mahoney, who had been in the Calu-
met region since the trouble began,
testified that the counsel employed
by the union had advised against TAX
ing. any action in the courts of the
state. He said that no semblance OF
justice had been secured by the $4,000
men on strike when they appealed to
the machinery of Michigan law. He
described the situation in the copper
country as one of prejudiced courts,
packed juries and peonage. Large
numbers of men, he said, were col
lected by employment agents in Chi
cago and New York under false repre-
sentation that they were wanted to
work in the lumber camps of northern
Michigan.
1t was alleged by Mr.. Mahoney that
the mine operators in Michigan had
York and the principal eastern cities
to enlist gunner for service in the
copper mine strike area.
Once on the cars they were put in
charge of armed guards and rushed to
the copper mines, where they were
confined in strike-breakers camps,
still under the guns of their guards.
Representative Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin asked Mahoney why the state
courts were not appealed to and
brought out the union mans statement
that the supreme court at Lansing
was "keenly interested" in breaking
the strike.
Mahoney said the grand jury recent
ly empaneled was made up wholly OF
men interested in the mine companies
or employed by them.
Calumet, Mich, Dec. 19.-Seizure OF

ducting the search that the miners in
Ahmeek were warned of their coming

city were loaded with arms.
