The great coal strike, involving
more than SOC, 600 men, who with their
families, will embrace approximately
$500 coo persons, is now in erect. The
significance OF this tremendous up
heaval is set forth in exclusive state
ments by Matthew Woll, vice president
of the American Federation of Labor,
giving the side of labor, and George
N. Gushing, managing director OF the
Wholesale coal association, giving tne
side of the operators. VOL says: II
the attitude of the mine operators ana
owners is correct, then our whole con-
cention of contractural obligations has
been in error. Honor between men mas
been destroyed and anarchy Will reign
in the relations of mankind. Cushlng
saws: @Tf this strike is any supreme
fest at-ail il is the test of the centrai
comnetitiye field. 1t really reflects the
tendency Of the operators to go II
alone each for himself. If the public
is willing, to pay the operators bill the
operators will grant the miners de-

The death of Rosa and Josefa Bla-

Cook county probate court, accordlng
TO a Chicago dispatch, with lesai
nroblem which apparently is unprece-
dented.I In determining the disposltlon
of the S1OO, 900 estate Of the twins the
court must decide if 1l-year-old Franz
is the son of one or both of the twins.
A scientific controversy which Degan
before the death of the sisters carry
Thursday has resolved itself into the
ouestion: Were Rosa and Posefa one
individual or did they constitute sepa-
rate entities?" If they were one per
sonality, the son will inherit the entire
fortune which was accumulated ny the
twins during their exhibition tours VI
the world. II they were two dlstlncI
nersonalities, Rosa being the mother
and Josefa the aunt, only Rosa nan
of the. estate would go to the lad, While
Josefa's' closest relatives, including tne
S5-year- r-old father and four oroIheIs'

Entire mountains were destroyed
in the violent earthquakes ana Nolcanlc
eruptions which, took place IN souIh-
ern Chile near the Argentine porder
last December, says Eric; N0ikman, Who
Jy,1 li1-io Chile from a
visit to the desolated district Detalls
of the volcanic disturbances which de-
stroyed pasture lands, forests and cat
tie are only becoming known there.
,HThe center of the disturbance was Ill
the region known as the Cordillera re-
Iada northeast Of the Puerto Montt,
Mr. Volkman said. "The lava compo-
sition is almost entirely volcanic,
whose heat had parched and DESTROYED
pastures. The surface Is strewn Wlth
flaming gases and steam from wnicn
arises a strong odor or WOOD vinegar;
The rocks have no consistency ana
the lava field. about 3100 feet above
sea level. apparently still is IN process
of formation. >Subterranean rumblings
are still very violent" The affected
area is sparseiy populated and no cas-
,alties have been reported. The wa
ters Of the Rinihue river, Mr.. Volkihal
reported. have been poisoned by gases
and acids derived from the eruptiVe
material including huge stones that
fell in its bed. He said another erup-
tion had occurred in the Los Azufres
cordillera, also in the Pelada Valiey.
The eruptions in Chile last December
were attributed to the volcanoes Oh
Cauue and Rinehua. They were ac,
companied by violent earthquakes ana
it was stated that deep crevlces hau
formed in the mountain sides from
which. steam was pouring. Enormous
damage was caused to grazing lands
ON the Argentine side Of the frontier,
which for 80 leagues was covered Win
cinders and volcanic ashes from the
erupting peaks, which swept across

were reported to have fallen all the way
across TO the Atlantic ocean.
