Revised His Opinion After Fall of Apple

Two Arabian men were visiting on
a farm and they sat under a high
apple tree.
one OF them was compllmentlng the
Creator on His wisdom and the other
was crlticlzlng the Almighty because
he thought that God did not crente
things In u balanced manner. And
so he said to his friend to convince
him OF his side OF the argument f:
Look up here at this large aud high
apple tree and II only produces n small
fruit and oven there n n tiny water
melon seed which produces a large
fruit that weighs ten or twenty
pounds. Now I should think II things
nre crcnted In a Just. equal and hnr-
monlous manner then the big tree Will
produce n large fruit and n smnll seed
or plant will produce a small fruit.
but instead II is the reverse and things
ARE unbalanced IN the humnn family.

ONE MINER KILLED,
10 HURT IN BLAST
600 Escape Three Hours
After Explosion in Pow
hatan Pit in Ohio.


BELLAIRE, Ohio, February 15.-
One miner was killed and 19 others
were injured, one perhaps fatally, at
the Powhatan mine, Is miles south
of here, this morning. Six hundred
other men in the mine escaped un-
injured.
EMPLOYEES of the mine, 700 in num-
ber. went on strike Friday, after they
had been offered checks instead of
currency as pay, W. o. Percivaf, gen.
eral manager of the mine, took the
stand that it was too much of a
risk to transport money from Bell
aire banks.
The miners voted yesterday to re-
turn to work today.
The Powhatan mine is located 5
miles from the Webb mine at Shady
side, where nine men perished De-
cember % in an explosion.
An explosion shortly before o'clock
this morning wrecked the interior of
the main shaft, resulting in the death
of l miner and the injury of 19
others. Ten of the injured were
taken to a Bellaire hospital while
the other nine were sent to their
homes.
The miners engaged in workings
farther in the main shaft, made their
escape through the main entrance
within three hours after the explosion.
Percival said the mine would be
reconditioned today with a view of
renewing operations tomorrow.
BY strange fate the miner killed
was drowned. The blast threw him
into the air and he landed face down.

Doheny and Sinclair Also
Legally Accused of Con-
spiracy, D. c. Court Rules.
3 NOW MUST BE TRIED
IF SPECIAL PLEA FAILS
Interference With U. S. Operations
Is Held Fraud if Accom-
panied by Trickery.

: Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford of
the District Supreme Court today
sustained the validity of the new CON
Hpiracy indictments against Albert B.
Fall. former Secretary OF the In
terror: Edward l.. Doheny of Los
Angeles, Calf, and Harry +. Sin
clair of New York, oil magnates, in
connection with the leases Of the
naval oil reserves in California and
Wyoming.
The court overruled demurrers filed
by the three defendants, and held that,
while Fall had no legal authority to
award the contracts. the court felt con-
strained to hold that the indictments
charge a conspiracy to defraud the
United States through interference
with governmental functions and oper-
ationS as would embarrass the United
States. Such interference. when its
complished by trickery, deceit and
bribery, is a fraud upon the United
States.
The action of the court will require
that the defendants go to trial unless
the District Court of Appeals should
grant a special appeal and pass on the
law points involved.
Text Of Opinion.
The opinion of the court was rem
dered in the Doheny case. and a
memorandum adopting the same
opinion was filed in the Sinclair case
The opinion of Justice Stafford
reads:
THE facts set forth in the indict-
ment, which are admitted by the de-
murrer, solely for the purpose pre-
senting to the court the questions
of law involved, are these: Fall and
Doheny entered into corrupt agree
ment with each other that Fall. as
Secretary of the Interior, should
award to Doheny's companies certain
contracts and leases relating to the
oil and gas lands of the United
States in consideration of gifts and
loans to be made to Fall by Doheny.
and to accomplish said purpose by
trickery and dishonest methods. de-
scribed In the indictments.
'Fall was assuming to act In these
matters under and by virture of an
Executive order of the President.
This order, however. 1t Is now agreed.
was null and void, because Congress
had intruSted the power to the Sec
retary of the Navy alone.
THE principal point presented by
the defendants is that inasmuch as
Fall had no legal authority to award
the contracts or leases. any attempt
on his part to do so would also be
