ST. LOUIS, NO., Feb. 29.--Voters
of st. Louis are deciding at a refer
endum election today whether two
measures, designed to restrict the ne
gro population to certain parts OF the
city. shall become ordinances.
Two bills, both submitted by peti..
tion under the initiative clause Of
the city charter, are being voted on.
One provides that negroes shall not
move into blocks occupied wholly BY
white persons, or that white persons
shall not move into blocks occupied
wholly by negroes.
The other proposed ordinance pro-
yides that negroes shall not move
into blocks in which seventy-tive per
cent OF the houses are occupied BY
whites, or that white persons shall
not move into blocks In which seven
ty-fve percent Of the houses are &C.
cupled by negroes. -,
II both ordinances are adopteh, the
second, being the more stringent OF
the two, would be effective.
Neither ordinance puts any restric-
tjon on the ownership Of property,
hut restricts solely the use OF the
property for residence purposes. Ne

groes who are employed in houses or
apartments occupied by white persons
are unaffected by the ordinances.
Apartment house janitors, who live
in the easements of apartments, oc-

ed.
Both ordinances contain clauses
providing that the proposed laws
shall not affect persons at present 1iv-
ing in blocks occupied by members
Of other races.

adopted, about 500 blocks in the city
would be available for negro resi-
dence. II the more stringent or "Sev-
enty-five per cent measure" is adopt
ed, only about $50 blocks will be
available for negro residence.
Attorneys say certain clauses Of
the "seventy-five per cent ordinance"
are vague and litigation seems GER
tain II either ordinance is adopted,
The ordinances have been siren
uously opposed by negro organiza-
lions and by many white friends OF
the race as tending to.crowd the ne
groes into limited sections OF the city.
The ordinances have been supported
by many whites who argue that the
property values Of small home own;
ers are lmperilled by the possibility
that negroes may move next door to
whites.

Thirteen Bodies Are Located

other Will Be Found.
BODIES STILL IN THE MINE.
Mine is Owned by Davis Coal
and Coke Co. and Located
on Western Maryland.

KEMPTON, Feb. 20.-Sevcnty-one
men were trapped by an explosion
in mine Of the Davis Coal and Coke
Company. near here, today, soon af-
ter they went to work. Two sue
ceeded in making their way to the
surface and rescuers within an hour
had brought out thirty-seven, four OF
whom we're dead and two SO badly
hurt that it was feared they would
not survive. Volunteers were work
ing under the direction of trained
rescue crews in an attempt to reach
the others.
The mine, which is located on a
spur of the Western Maryland rail-
road, had been considered one of the
best and safest in the region.
The working force today had just
reached their places when the explo?
sion, which seemed to have affected
only a part of the workings, oc-
Cured. Fortunately, rescue crews
were quickly recruited from other
mines in the vicinity and under the
direction Of the mine foreman quick
ly entered the workings. They
brought out the men who had not
been injured and recovered the dead
not far from the main entry. The
entombed men are said to be much
farther from the opening and while
hopes are entertained for their safe
ty, as they have all been drilled in
mine rescue work, nothing is being
left undone to reach them.
At noon today sixty-three of the sew
enty-one miners cntombed in the
Kempton mine q The Davis Coal and
Coke Compan. nd been accounted
for. OF this number six were dead and
five were injured. General Superinten-
dent R. P. lMaloney is directing the
work of rescue and General Superin-
tendent lines and Division Superin-
tendent Steiner of the Western Mary
land railroad are on the scene. Presl-
dent A. W. Galloway, Baltimore, and
Vice President NJ. d. Nrke, Cumber-
land, Of the Davis Coal and Coke
Company, are enroute. The govern
ment rescue car from Pittsburg is
also on its way to Kempton.
The explosion seems to have been
confined to small section of the mine
in which fourteen men were at work.
1t was not severe and the fans never
stopped and no trouble was encouht-
cred in the working of the hosting
apparatus or in removing the men
from the mine.
The eight men still left in the mine
are thought to be dead.

BASIC MINE RUN
RATE is REJECTED

plan.
The refusal of the operators to &C.
cept the basic mine run rate suggested
by the miners was because the Pitts
burg operators are opposed to an in
crease OF 1898 a ton in fixing the mine
run rate for western Pennsylvania
and also because. the Indiana coal COM
panies arc against an advance of two
and one-half cents on the basic rate
for that state. AS the operators Of
the four states vote as unit, the Ohio
and Illinois operators, whose basis
rates are not affected, voted with the
other states against accepting the fig-
ures.
1t was said the operators would not
object to the advance in the basic rate
lC the miners did not press the demands
for a ten md twenty per cent increase
in wages after the mine run base fig-
ures are fixed.
