Great Britain for an injustice pcrpetra ted
on Brown by Paul Kruger, when the
latter was president of the South African
republic.
The odd part of this claim is that the
very injustice penetrated on Brown had
as much as anything else to do with
and bringing the Boer war. All the
British books which treat Of South Al
rican affairs leading UP to the war cite
the Brown case to justify British ag-
gresson. Liberal quotations from these
books adorn the pages of the memorial.
And now the British government is
asked to settle for Dom PaHl's acts. The
British answer to the claim does not at
tempt to deny the facts, but merely dis
claims liability, NO precedents are
quoted" says the answer. TO show that

LUTHERAN CHURCH
 SELECTS ORGANIST
Professor Gerhardt Alexis of Lincoln, Nebraska, to Succeed Pro-
 lessor Kihlmark.

By a large plurality Professor Ger hardt Alexis of Lincoln, Neb. a mem Der of the Alexis quartet which ap- peared here recently, was elected to succeed Professor Eric R. Hallmark as organist of the Swedish Lutheran church at a special meeting held by the congregation last evening.
 He received sixty-eight votes Benson of East Berlin, two for Harold Selander of this city and one for An drew Anderson, also of this city.
 Upon another vote it was decided to raise the salary accompanying the position from s45O to $500.
 It is said that the pastor, Rev. pr. s. G. Ohman, is we'll pleased with the selection. All the prominent candi- dates for the position were given trials on different Sundays during the spring, and, judging from long arti- cle printed in the church paper, ''Tempelklockan,' pr. Onman was inn pressed most favorably by the demon stration given by Professor Alexis.
 The new appointee left today for Sweden, where he is to spend the sum- mer in study. He may begin his duties about the first of next year. Meanwhile the temporary organist. Andrew Anderson, will continue to perform at the organ.

FIRE ENTOMBS FIVE
 WILLIAMSON MINERS
Twenty-Five Others Escaped When Fire Broke Out in Fan House
 Believed Prisoners Alive.

Williamson, w. Va., July 1.-Miners worked with feverish energy today digging a shaft into the workings of Mine No. 1 of the Cycamore Coal company, near here, in the hope of reaching five men who were cut off when fire broke out last midnight. It was, however, forlorn hope. While those at the shafts mouth labored to the linlt of their strength, others forced their way into the gas filled galleries and endeaN ored to check ths flames with sand, crews being relieved every half hour, but made little prog ress Dense smoke poured from the openings, and it was feared the fire was spreading rapidly.
 The fire broke out in the fan house. and that structure was destroyed. Alarmed by the failure of the air, twenty five men made their way to the surface, but five were caught in entries far from the opening.
 The entonbed miners were believed by Deputy Mine Inspector Edward Lambert to be n a part of the mine not yet touched by the fire. about a thousand feet from the mouth. If they could live during the day there was some hope of saving them, ex- perienced miners declared
 One hundred men were usually en- ployed in the mine at night but many of them did not report last night.

 The members of the Schwaebisch- er-Maennerchor of Bridgeport feel that they are entitled to first prize in the second class, claiming that the Quartette club broke down just as they were finishing their selection, thus killing their chances of getting perfect marks in interpretation and rythm.
 So high did the feeling run when it was announced by the prize com mittee that the prizes in these doubt full classes would not be awarded un- til after the judges had been com municated with, that it looked for time as if the words would end in blows.
 The members of the Schwaebisch- CT society wanted their prize that they might carry it home in triumph but the members of the committee felt that the fairest thing to do was to wait until the judges had handed in their completed reports as they should have done before leaving Bridgeport. The prizes were accord ingly held back for the time being.
