DASTARDLY DEED
CAUSES Loss OF
TWO MEN'SLIVES
Johnson County Coal Mine
the Scene of a Fatal
Explosion.

/ Paintsville, KY. June 30.-William
Helton, 43, and Cux Smith, 32, car
leaders, both Of Morgan county, were
instantly killed in an explosion in
/ Thealka mine.
| Both were farmers who, having their
crops planted, had just arrived for
work in the mines to make extra mon
ey for large families.
During the night a coal cutting ma
chine had been loaded with high ex-
plosives by unknown parties, the ar
rangement being such that the charge
would be set off when the electric cur
rent was connected at the beginning
of work. ,t." .s..,
John Vanhoose and Claud Preston,
| operators of the machine, entered the
mine and coupled the wires. Both were
far enough away from the machine to
sustain only minor injuries, but the
two leaders were close by the ma
chine H.
Had the explosion been few min
utes later a large number probably
would have been killed.
The tragedy follows warnings re-
ceived by mine officials that the mine
would be blown up. A careful look
out has been kept for explosives, but
the placing of it in machine was not
suspected
A strike has been in progress for
several months, but enough diggers
have been available to keep the mine
in operation.
The day previous Gus Butler was
fred upon and Urchill Daniel was
rocked as they went to work
The damage to the mine by the fate
full explosion is placed at $4,000. Doors
and tracks were blown to pieces. On
account of the poisonous gas thrown
off, men could not enter the mine for
several hours.

4 STATEMENT MADE BY
 THE RUSSIAN DELEGATION

Genoa. May 8 (By the A. P.(.-The Russian delegation to the economic con ference issued the following statement today after Foreign Minister Tchitcherm and NJ 1itvinoff had held long confer ence with Prime Minister Lloyd George:
 Certain delegations are trying to prejudice public opinion by predicting failure of the Genoa conference should Russia not accept the ultimatum pre- scented to her. This is the latest in 3 series of attempts from the same quar- ters which were commenced when the Russian delegation took the liberty ot stating that 1t could not contemplate the genuine reconstruction of Europe without considering the disarmament problem.
 .'As regards the Russian question it ia necessary to point out that the very, pow CTS who. demand unconditional acceptance of the last memorandum on the Russian question have entirely dissoctated them selves from this memorandum by refus- ing to accept its stipulation in one of the most important aspects of this question.
 These powers, which throughout the conference have been 10th to accept Rus sia as unequal at the conference. having threatened to wreck the conference un- less Russia renomced the economic agreement concluded by her with an- other independent country, the very pow CTS whose principal conception of Euro pean politics aims at their entire sub ordination to the jurisdiction of group of governments, are now again imperiiing the conference by attaching the character of sult.matuns to the draft of an agree rnert presented to Russia by other pow CTS than themselves.
 "4-he Russian delegation came te Genoa in a spirit of conciliation, prepared to insiss upon, the application of the prin- clp;e of reciprocity, and consultation re- | mains it's purpose"

PELIETIER DIsBARRED
 FROM PRACHCE OF LAW


 Boston. May S.-Josephs c. Pelletler' who was recently removed as district at 'torney of Suffolk county, was ordered d:s5arred from further practice of law today in a decree handed down by Su- prene Court Justice James B. Carroli. in the trial two weeks ago Pellet1er or fered no evidence in his own defense, but said that he was fore-judged on the tes- tinlony of his removed trial.
 Judge Carro1 in his decision, refer ring to Pelletier's failure to offer tes- tirnony, declared that he was silent when he should have spoken, and considering the serious nature of the case, his de sire to- defend his own integrity should have prompted him to aid the court in every possible way to protect 1t. Charges were sustained In four of the six cases which figured in the removal trial. Tha court found that Pelletier was guilty oi having conSpired with Daniel H. Coakiey to extort money from clients of the lat ter. by threats of criminal prosecution and of protecting them and allowing them to escape prosecution after spcf money had been paid.
 An order for the disbarment of Coak' ley has been returned by the court.

5s YEAR OLD HORSE EXHIBITED
 AT MASONIC EXPOSITION

New York, May S.-Peering suspicious ly over a fence, Clover, 52 year old colt, showed his business-lflze teeth, Tipped an apprehensive ear, and settled himself on exhibit in Madison Square Garden to- day-the central figure in the art show at the Masonic exposition.
 Clover is tempermantal. For at least ten years he has been living a retired life on farm at Catawissa, Pa. From that existence, he has plunged into the heart of New York, where his venerable years attracted public recognition. The ancient, wearing a., perfect form-fttiug gfay blanket. to which were attached various medals went on exhibition under protest.
 Veterinarians assert that wondar- fully preserved Clovers teeth not only prove his age, but are the Iuse. for 1t. The way he snarled when people pass ed to his show stall converted many ag- nostics to the teeth theory.
 He will stay, if all goes well, just q week. He will eat specially prepared grain and drink only water from. the brook at home. But both Clover and his valet will be happier when the week is over.
