H IH Ml MINE
Fire Follows Explosion Deep
in Coal Shaft
RESCUERS LOSE THEIR LIVES
In a Desperate Effort to Reach the
Bodies of 18 Victims and Possible
Survivors of Explosion, Probably
50 Rcscurers Met a Similar Fate by
a Second Explosion in the Hanna
Mines of the Union Pacific Coal
Company. - V
Cheyenne, Wyo., Special Between
i65 and 70 men, it developed Sunday,
lost their lives in two explosions in
coal mine No. 1 of the Union Pacific
(Coal Company at Hanna. The explo
sions were caused by gases and coal
dust, and each was followed by fire.
The first explosion occurred at 3
o'clock, killing 18 miners, including
a 'superintendent and three bosses.
The second explosion occurred at
10 :30 o 'clock at night, snuffing out
tho lives of from 40 to 50 rescurers,
including State Mine Inspector D. M.
Elie.
The wildest excitement prevailed
in Hanna and at the mine, where hun
dreds of persons arc congregated, in
cluding widows, children and other
relatives of the victims. Men and
women are running about wringing
their hands and cryirv, while many
litle children, separated from their
mothers, are sobbing with fear.
When the second explosion occur
red, additional appeals were tele
graphed to all surrounding towns for
assistance. One train is rushing west
fr6m Omahfv, carrying officers of the
Union Pacific Railroad and of the
Union Pacific Coal company.
The regular force of men employ
ed at mines Nos. 2 and 3 were pressed
into rescue work, which is extremelv
difficult. ,
The bodies of four of the 18 men
who lost their lives in the first ex
plosion, were found Sunday night, but
owing to; the increasing; volumes of
gas, which threatened to explode at
anyiomenti no-effort was made
remove invm io rne- suriuce.
'At 3 o'clock the fire reached the
gas, and a terrific explosion followed.
In: a few minutes many men volun
teered to enter the mine to rescue any
possible survivor. Fumes and fire
hindered the. rescurers but they made
some progress. After a long strug
gle, the volunteers got well into the
mine.- Those on the surface had be
gan to expect results from the intre-
nid daring of the rescurers. but at
10:30 o'clock the camp was startled
by a second explosion that partly
shut off the shatt ot the mine and
most likely killed the volunteers.
The vietims arc all below the tenth
level and it is probable that flames
;nave consumed the corpses.

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SEiS SPECIAL MESSAGE
; .
Urges Cong: rss to Enact Legis
lation D imed Essential.
PR0H!BIT10k OF CHILD LABOR
The Conntrv's Interest Demnnda
? Tariff and bnrrency Changes,
an Anti-Trust Act and an Em
ployers' Liability Bill.
Washington, D. C President
ttoosevelt transmitted to Congress
iis promised special message urging
eertain legislation which he deems
assential to the country's best inter
asts at this time.
The message is marked by a suav-
ty of expression which may be
jermed unique in communications of
.his sort from. Mr. Roosevelt.
After the vigorous excoriation of
Jome weeks ago, members could
Hardly believe it possible that all
trace of the big stick could be so
:arefully concealed.
A large part of the message Is
riven to the Civic Federation's bill,
Introduced in the House by Mr. Hep-
turn, to modify the Sherman anti
trust act, and the President points
Jut what changes he deems desirable
md necessary.
Give railroads the right, under
:ertain limitations, to make traffic
tgreements, he urges, and change the
aw as to receiverships.
Alter the provisions that render
illegal combinations of labor men
md farmers and recognize strikes as
egal.
But nothing should be done, de
Mares the President, to legalize
either a blacklist or a boycott that
would be illegal at common law.
The message then says: "The ques
tion of financial legislation is now
receiving such attention in both
Mouses that we have a right to ex
pect action before the close of the
session. It is urgently necessary that
mere should be such action. More
over, action should be taken to es
".ablish postal savings banks. These
?cstal savings banks are imDerative
y needed for the benefit of the wage
workers and men of small means and
Bjl be a valuable adjunct to our
whole financial system.
"The time has come when we
should prenare for a revision of the
tariff. This should be, and indeed
must be, preceded by careful investi
gation." President Roosevelt then suggests
that a proper committee be delegated
to gather the facts necessary for
tariff revision at the next session
of Congress. He then continues:
"I am of the opinion, however,
that one change in the tariff could
with advantage be made forthwith.
Our forests need every protection and
Dne method of protecting them would
be to put upon the free list wood
pulp, with a corresponding reduc
tion upon paper made from wood
pulp, when they come from any
country that dees not put an export
iuty upon them."
Other recommendations by the
President are:
Prohibition of child labor through
jut the nation.
Re-enactment, of an employers'
liability bill, drawn to conform to
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court.
Modification of the law affecting
Injunctions in labor disputes.
Creation of a permanent water
ways commission.
How Message Was Received.
Washington. D. C. The special
nessage from'the President was close
ly followed in both branches of Con
gress. In the House the declaration
that the time had come for a re
vision of the tariff elicited handclap
ping on the part of Democratic mem
bers. Democratic approval also was
iven by way of pounding desks to
the suggestion that Congress could
with advantage forthwith remove the
tariff on wood pulp, with a corre
sponding reduction upon paper made
from wood pulp. The Republicans
waited and confined the applause to
the message as a whole.
In the Senate the message was re
ceived without comment of any kind.
Discussion of the message turns
chiefly on the question whether Con
gress will carry out any considerable
part of its recommendations. Th9
general impression is that an employ
ers' liability law will be passed, that
an investigation of tariff schedules
will be ordered, and that the Aldrich
currency bill will be put through:
but that it is very doubtful if Con
gress will go any further at. this ses
sion. It is pretty generally conceded
that the bill to modify the Sherman
law cannot get through, and that no
anti-injunction legislation is likely.
AMBASSADOR HILL REFUSED.
Minister to the Netherlands Simply
Unwelcome to German Emperor.
Washington, D. C. Emperor Will
iam, at Berlin, announced that he
would not permit the present Ameri
can Minister to the Netherlands, Dr.
David Jayne Hill, to come to his
court as Ambassador from the United
States. He gave no reason, but sev
eral were advanced for him, one be
ing that the action was due to some
thing Dr. Hill did or left undone
when Prince Henry of Prussia visited
Washington sixyears ago, another
that the Kaiser had unfavorable re
ports of the diplomat's official
achievements at The Hague.
! CONGRESSMAN SHOT
NEGRO IN STREET CAR
Heflin, of Alabama, Asked Him
to Stop Drinking,
WHITE MAN HIT IN FOOT
Representative Arrested and Released
on Bail Had Advocated "Jim
, Crow" Cars For Washington
Had Permit to Carry Arms.
Washington, D. C Representa
tive James T. Heflin, of Alabama, who
recently advocated a "Jim Crow" law
for street car service in the District
of Columbia, shot a negro on a Penn
sylvania avenue car. The negro had
insulted him.
The bullet hit the man, Lewis Luro
by, just above the right ear. It did
not penetrate his skull. The negro
is now in the hospital, and Congress
man Heflin was arrested and charged
with assault to kill. Later ho was
released on $5000 bail.
Heflin fired two shots. The first
failed to reacb the negro and struck
Thomas McCreary, acnother passenger,
in the foot. McCreary is a trainer in
the employ of August Belmont, and is
in Washington in charge of the Bel
mont string at the Bennings track.
The shooting occured shortly after
7 p. m., as the car reached the corner
of Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth
street, bound for Capitol Hill. Con
gressman Heflin, accompanied by
Congressman "Edwin J. Ellerbe, of
South Carolina, had boarded the car
at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, Mr. Heflin being on his way
to deliver a temperance lecture at the
Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
Church.
He observed two negro passengers,
one of whom was Lewis Lumby, who
was in the act of taking a drink from
a bottle of whisky. There were a
number of other passengers, includ
ing several women. Mr. Heflin re
monstrated with Lumby and asked
him to stop, drinking, saying:
"Don't take that drink, there are
ladies here, and it is not right. It is
against the law for you to do this
thing in a street car, and I hope you
will put that bottle away."
The other negro, who was sober,
attempted to take the bottle away
from his friend, but failed. Lumby
became offended at Mr. Heflin's re
monstrances and applied vile epithets
to him.
As the car reached Sixth street and
Pennsylvania avenue Heflin and
Lumby were engaged in a struggle.
Mr Heflin, who is a large, powerful
man, succeeded in throwing Lumby
off the car as it came to a stop. Most
of the occupants of the car hastily
alighted, including Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas McCreary.
The negro fell to the ground on be
ing pushed off the car. He rose and,
it is said, began cursing Mr. Heflin
again, and made a motion for his hip
pocket as if to draw a weapon, where
upon Mr. Heflin fired at him through
the car window, missing the negro
and hitting Thomas McCreary, who
was about twenty feet from the car.
Mr. Heflin fired again, one of the
shots striking Lumby in the head
above the ear. Lumby ran a short
distance and fell.
Mr. McCreary's wound is not se
rious, and after treatment at a hospi.
tal he returned to his apartments.
Mr. Heflin says that since he intro
duced the "Jim Crow" measure he
has received many letters of a threat
ening character, and obtained per
mission from the police authorities to
go armed.
Mr. Heflin represents the Fifth
Alabama District, in which the Tus
kegee Institute, of which Booker T.
Washington is at the head, is located.
ALDRICH BILL TASSED.
Senate at Washington, D. C, Gives
It a Majority of 42 to 16.
Washington, D. C. By a vote of
42 to 16 the Aldrich Currency bill
passed the Senate. Five Republicans
voted against it Borah, Bourne,
Brown, Heyburn and La Follette.
Three Democrats Johnston, Owen
and, Teller voted for the bill. As
passed, the bill bears small resem
blance to its original shape when it
first was subjected to the fire of
amendments.
The most important amendments
adopted were those increasing the
cash reserves of banks, the joint work
of Nelson and Johnston, and provid
ing penalties for false reports made
by officers of banks as to circulation
of emergency currency. This last
was offered by La Follette. and was
adopted only after a sharp fight.

Trust Said to Have Agreed With
Society of En.uityt
$14,000,000 PAID FOR PRODUCT
Take 190C Crop at Sixteen and t.puO?
vjpop at Jiiigntcen cents, on
Agreement That No Tobacco
Will Be Grown in 1908.
Cincinnati, Ohio. The American
Tobacco Company has surrendered to
the Kentucky white hurley tobacco
planters, associated as the American
Society of Equity, which has been
waging a strenuous war upon th
trust for more than a year." It is.satd
in an unofficial report of the settle
ment of the controversy between the
planters and the trust that the trust'"
has bought the pocied crops of 1905
and 1907 at prices far above thosei
dictated by the buying corporation at
the time of the split between them,
and the planters. The total amount
to be paid for the tobacco that the as
sociation has in warehouses and
which it was holding, refusing to sell
at the prices offered, is $14,000,000'.
The prices to be paid for the 190
crop is sixteen cents a pound, and for
the next year's output eighteen cents.
In the settlement the planters decided
not to raise a crop this year.
The report, which comes from
members of jthe Planters' Society and
has not yet been fully, verified by the
other side, is discredited by many
conversant with the situation because
of the fact that the White Burley
Board of Control has heretofore
asked only fifteen cents a pound for
both the crop of 1906. and 1907. The
higher prices are explained by the
agreement to carry Qiit the "no crop
for 190S" idea as part of the consid
eration to the American Tobacco
Company. The agreement as report
ed only affects the White Burley dis
tricts, and has no relation to the dark
tobacco districts in which most of the
night riding outrages have taken
place.
The light or burley tobacco district
covers fifty-five counties in Ken
tucky, several in Ohio and two or
three in West Virginia. The region
in Kentucky is in the northern and
central part of the State. This dis
trict is the only place in the world
where this class of tobacco is grown.
The weed is used in the manufacture
of the finer grades of both chewing
and smoking tobacco. The dark to
bacco district embraces fourteen
counties in Western Kentucky and
several in Tennessee. The product
of this, district is nearly all taken for
export.
Night Riding Continues.
Hopkinsville, Ky. Night rider, t
the number of twenty-five or thirty,
invaded Golden Pond, Trigg County
dragged Thomas Weaver, a negro in
the employ of the tobacco associa
tion, from his bed, and carrying him
to the road, commanded him to run.
When he failed to obey the night rid
ers began firing at him. Two balls
penetrated the body, and he was
found, later in a dying coaditiou. No
cause for the crime is known.
