PECULIAR ACCIDENT IN JAPANESE
COAL MINE, UNLIKE ANY I'm

BY the United Press Associations.
TOXIC. Apr 13.-Crushed beneath
tons of earth and the waters of jap
an sea, at least 300 coolies were
drowned in the Ube coal mine near
Shimoneseki strait, according to word
which reached here today. The men
were trapped when the roofs of the
subterranean galleries of the mine
collapsed.
This is the first accident Of the kind
in the history of the world. There
is slight hope of rescue or even the
recover of the bodies. 1T is con-
sidered possible, but not probable,
that the coolies may have rushed to
the water-tight chambers constructed
as a precaution against such an ac-
cident.

TODAY,s OLDEST STORY

| WARSAW, Ind, Apr. 13.-James
Robinson is gradually taking on
weight again. He lost 100 pounds
in fifty-seven days, and incidental
ly set new record for fasting IN
so doing.
Robinson's trouble was that he
had no appetite. He simply could
not bear the sight of food. Finally
he was induced to take glass OF
buttermilk, and he gradually re-
covered. He had dropped from 23o
pounds to 1870.
This upsets the theory of medic
Al science that fifty-five days is the
limit of mans endurance without
food.
