In October, 1910, a handful of peo-
pie assembled on the east side of the
city and organized It church. 1t
started with seven members whose
ambition was to furnish a place of
worship for the vast upchurched ter
rltory between the Midland Valley
tracks and Kendall college and the
Frisco railroad and Tenth street.
This institution was the Grace M. E.
church. 1t Is still the only church
building in this great territory now
occupied by FIVE thousand people.
The community is not a mOneyed
one, its population being composed
almost entirely OF laboring people
with large families. However, they
were not to be deprived of a place
of worship because of their limited
finances, and subsequently the famous
little Church that was built in a day"
was erected.
This church building, now used for
school purposes by the Washing
ton school, was started and COM

WASHINGTON. April 3.-The say
ing from terrible death Of A miners
eutombed for nour days and four
nights in the cXplosiOn-swept mine Of
the New River a PoCahontas Com
solidated Coal CO., at layland, w, va,
recently by trained rcsCuers from the
United States Bureau OF Mines and
other volunteers disCloscs a type of
heroism that Is not eQualled any
where in the annals Of industrial his
tory, heroism of almost everyday
sort in the isolated mining villages Of
the country, but hardly known TO the
outside world,
The bravery of men who go down
to the sea in ships has been sung in
prose and poetry since the world be-
gan, probably because there is hardly
a person who has not witnessed the
cruelty OF the sea at some time or
other, but the mines are in out Of the
way places, in the rugged Businesses
OF the country, and the men who per-
form heroic deeds work in the dark
ness of the underground where the eye
of the average citizen has never pene-
ctrated.
Quickly Forgotten.
II is Of little wonder then that the
news Of an explosion in a coal mine
with "a hundred or two hundred men
killed carries but a fleeting Interest to
the reader and that he has forgotten
about it long before the walls Of the
widows and orphans cease to echo
through the little mining village But
the. million or more miners Of the
United States who follow this most
hazardous of Calllngs are not entirely
forgotten, for Uncle Sam, through the
federal bureau Of mines has at the
miners disposal, whenever catas-
trophc occurs. highly organized corps
of trained resCucrs who carry oxygen
breathing apparatus which permits
them to enter a mine Immediately
after an explosion and to penetrate
poisonous gases that would otherwise
kill i'm the twlnkling of an eye.
1t was on the morning of March
that word was received by ID. j,
Parker, engineer in charge Of Mine
Rescue Car No. s, at Glenalum, w
Va, that an explosion had occurred In
the mine OF the New River & Poca-
hOntas Consolidated Coal Co. Fifteen
minutes later the Norfolk Il Western
railroad had stopped all trains be-

The above figures cannot be
vouched for as absolutely accurate,
although they are taken from official
reports. because the law fails to pro-
vide any penalty for failure to make
them and in many instances the clerks
have only filled in few of the items
and disposed Of the job as one that
they did not feel that was either an
obligatory or essential duty. This fact
made it necessary that some Of this
information be obtained from the re-
ports of city clerks as published in
newspapers and by correspondence.
One of the most striking features
of a comparison of the figures from
a number of different cities is the dis
parity in the amounts OF indirect
revenues collected which indicates
the vast difference in the methods OF
municipal taxation. For instance,
Bartlesville collected over $3.50 in
indirect revenues in 1913. while Guth-
rie only collected S17,471 and Shaw
nee derived from the same source
s53,124: Muskogee $129,s00 and Tulsa
only $751; SAC, although the former city

Mothers Pension Law.
Widows, with children, who are un-
able to earn livelihood, will get
pension. of SIS per month for them
selves and Sc for each child, under
the terms of the mothers pension bill
unanimously passed by the Arizona
legislature. The bill calls for the re-
peal of the previous mothers pension
act as an initiative measure at the
November election, in spite of the
fact that the people at the same time
also passed a law prohibiting the
legislature from repeating or amend
ing any initiative measures. The
voters will not have the question OF
providing for widows put up to
them.
The senate asserted that the legisla'
ture could not be disbarred from re
peaIing initiative acts because ma
jority of the qualified electors of the
state did not vote at the November
election, as the state constitution pre-
vides list be done In order to make
such laeasures effective. The bill
