JAPs KILL KOREANS

Tokia, June Correspondence
Associated Press) ).-Thirty-five Ko-
reans were shot or killed with sword
or bayonet by Japanese soldiers in a
Christian church building at Cheam-
nj, forty miles from Seoul in connec-
tion with Korean independence
movement.
This has been confirmed by an in
.vestigation by British and American
consular agents and by missionary
leaders in Korea. The facts are ad-
mitted by the Japanese authorities
at Seoul, including the Governor
General Hasegawa. The authorities
say they dep1ore the outrages, that
those guilty of it have been punished
and that orders have been given to
prevent recurrence.
Investigators have also found that
Soochung, village near Cheam-ni,
was burned by the Japanese and that
several Koreans there were wounded
in an attack by Japanese soldiers
who shot them or used their swords
and bayonets on them as they fed
from their burning homes after the
troops had set fire to the buildings.
Reports have been received of the
burning of Christian churches in
three villages and Koreans told The
Associated Press correspondent at
Seoul that they could show him nine
villa peS which had been burned by
the Japanese.

FRENCH THOUGHT. TOO MUCHt
MAN.

Paris, June 5-The French au--
thorities took good loo k at Pat
Ryan's latitude and longitude, COM
prising 275 pounds of beef, bone,
and muscle, and voted unanimously
against allowing Pat to throw the
hammer in the Inter-Allied Games
at the Pershing Stadium.
''Too much of man." was the yer-
dict, loosely translated. They were
afarafd that Pat might "bean" one
or more spectators with the heavy
projectile-and the stEc.um built
by the Y. M. c. A, for the in
ternational games is a large place
a. that
Pat is really the only great ham,
mer-chucker over there anyway.
and as the Allies have no expert
in that line his part of the meet
would be in the nature of an exhibi-
ton. So Pat is training for the shot
put and the discus-throw, which do
not look so formidable to the Con-
tinental authorities.

United States Building Shipping.

London, June 5.-The United
States was building on March 31st
twice as much shipping as was Great
Britain, according to the figures
given out by Lloyd's Register for the
first three months of 1919.
The total amount Of all shipping
under construction on that date in
allied and neutral countries was
given as 7,796, ,266 tons. Great
Britain's share of this was 2,354,845.
The United States was then building
4,1S5,523 tons of shipping.
These figures credit the United
States with rs per cent of the total
tonnage under construction in allied
or neutral countries outside of
Great Britain and it is pointed out
that the United Stantes is now build
ing % times as much as it was in
June, 1914. One London paper says
the effect OF SO many newly built
ships entering into sea going trade
already is being felt.

100 MINERS
MEET DEATH
WHEN A TRAIN LOADED
WITH THEM ON THEIR
WAY TO WORK WAS
BLOWN UP BY AN EX-
PLOSION OF SEVERAL
KEGS OF POWDER ON
ONE OF THE CARS, BE-
ING CARRIED IN VIOLA
TON OF THE MINING
LAW.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 5.-A
death list which may reach 100 is
the toll of an explosion of blasting
powder which was in a car attach
ed to a train load of miners who
were being transported to their work
aware and Hudson Coal Company
in Baltimore mine No. 2 of the Del
in this city.
This disaster was one of the great
est with exception of one in this
Vicinity for many years. More than
100 miners were riding to their
work and were crowded in what is
known as "trip of nine cars"
drawn by motor. The rear car car
ried twelve kegs of powder and the
explosion occurred after the train
had moved only about 200 feet.
The explosion was due to the
swapping of a trolley wire which
emitted sparks. and these in turn set
off the powder and within a few
moments every miner was either
dead or was fatally injured. Some
of these were beyond recognition
and parts Of their bodies and parts
of the car were blown to a consid-
cradle distance. The buildings near
by were shattered, and the force
of the explosion was heard and felt
at a considerable distance. Nurses
and doctors were quickly at hand
and the morgue and hospitals are
full with the bodies and wounded
men. Heart rending secenes in
the vicinity of the explosion are in
evidence everywhere with people
looking for dead relatives.
The conveyance of explosives on
the same train with human beings is
strictly forbidden by the Anthracite
Mining Code, and the penalties are
most drastic. An investigation to
see whether the violation of the law
was being made by the miners or
the company is under way.
Later
Seventyeight men lost their lives
in the Baltimore Tunnel of the Del
eware and Hudson Coal Company's 8
explosion and fire here today, and
thirty-one were injured, according
to list given out by the corporation
at noon. Forty-one bodies were
identified and thirty-seven were re-
covered. The company's list of the
injured is not complete, and it is
certain will reach about forty.

COLONEL ALBERT COX
TALKS To VETERANS

Whiteville, June4.-More than
to anything else, to the traditions
of the women of the Confederacy
is due the glory Southern men at
tained on European battlefields, in
the opinion Of Col. Albert L. Cox,
of Raleigh, who spoke here yesterday
at the annual reunion of the Con-
federate veterans.
The shades of these women and
of Jefferson Davis were recalled
surviving sol-@rs of the Confede-
racy picture of~.he world war. The
occasion today was in homer of the
birthday of the only President of
the confederate states an event
held each year under the auspices
of the Jefferson Davis chapter of
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Colonel Cox was introduced by
Mayor Richard M. Lewis, of this
city, himself a veteran o. the world
war and member of Fighting
Jack" Organs 27th Regiment.

ceived his discharge from the army,

one of the finest and youngest judi
ges of the Superior court, who dof-
fed the ermine for the Khaki, COM
manded cne of the hardest fighting
regiments in France and, if he
wants to be, the next Governor of
/ North Carolina
The life of Jefferson Davis as a
soldier was discussed by Colonel
Cox, as well as his fight for the dis
union of the Southern states He
also discussed interestingly the ev-
ents of the war, declaring that there
is no more doubt that Germany will
sign the peace than there was that

Paris, June 5.-The necessity
for the various nations, especially
for France to make definite state
ments to the banking interest con-
cerning her finances in the payment
of reparation in order to arrange

Four considerable concern in their
consideration of the Peace treaty,

sums in payment of the reparation
indemnity. The necessity for provid-
ing for war debts is giving indivi-
dual nations much trouble in making
arrangements with banks, and the
necessity for placing the entire
proposition on a substantial business
basis becomes more apparent all
the while.
