White Haven. En*.. May 13.?
While maddened relative# of the 133
miners trapped in the Wellington col
liery rioted ^oday in an effort to en
ter the mine? the pit was bricked up.
All hope of saving the entombed men
abandoned, the authorities decided to
close the. pit in the hope of checking
the lire which drove back rescuers,
overcoming many of them, when they
had reached within 50 yards of most
of the victims.
A special squad of men arrived
early today from Altofts. Yorkshire,
with oxygen helmets, but the flames
were so fierce that they could do
nothing. As the final attempt was
abandoned a crowd of women storm
ad the mine and were repulsed with
difficulty.
The most pitiful of the agonized
scenes among the relatives of the vie*
tlms was that when one woman,
hashing Into the pithead, cried foe
her husband, two sons, and three
brothers. Struggling to enter the
mine, she fought off tbo men wtyo
tried to take her from tbo plth?|$
holding her position for hours.
A relief fund for the victims' .fam
ilies was fctarted today.

K?w York. Ma y IS. ? Acquitted of
charges of violating the federal bank
ing lawa amid one of the most emo
tional scenes ever witnessed in the
United States circuit court here. F.
Augustus Helnse announced today
that he !? going back to Montana and
there with the remnant of his for
tune. again build ud great wealth.
Undaunted by a long period of hard
luck he Is going to grapple once more
with his old foes, and one of the
most gigantic battles in the history
of the West Is expected. Revenge 1b
his aim.
The former copper king let it be
known that he would take up the
fight where he left it off several years
ago. in spite of t|ie fact that his form
er struggle with the Standard Oil in
terest cost him millions. While the
greater part ot' tils fortune was wiped
away In the panic of 1907. since that
time, he declared today, his light
with the government had cost him
between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000
l^-loss of credit and for legal expen
He attributes all hla troubles to
the Standard OH Company "and 'a
pretty conflict is coming.
There Is little likelihood. It be
came known today, of the govern
ment's puahing the one remaining
charge hanging over Heinze. This is
an Indictment charging him with
conspiracy to defeat the ends of Jus
tice in Bending a witneas out of the
court's jurisdiction last spring. The
outcome of the main case, decided
last night, settles this minor charge.
It Is said.
Helnse. hla brothers Otto and Ar
thur; and hie brother-in-law. Max H.
Schultxe. were jubilant today. They
held an Impromptu reception to their
friends from Butte who had come on
to see the end of the long fight.
It was they who cast precedent aside
and . openly cheered ? with Judge
Hougfc^maklng no attempt to check
them? when Foreman Lovell of the
Jury reported "Nqt guilty" after
three hours deliberation. ?
Helnse received oontratulatory -ife#?
sages by the eeere.from Butte and
'other points in Montana. One Of the
