He also served as minister of finance, as minister of tho interior nnd as tt member of parliament. lie brought to the Paris peace, conference the reputation of "the first financier of Kurope, the man who had probed the economic life of the world to the core." "I do not shine, I do not glitter,' he said on one occasion In the cham ber of deputies. ''I leave that sort of thing to my political opponents. I am swtisP.ed If I-cnri reveaK an neea slonal gleam of common sunso." At another t:mc, addressing his Indlf rerent colleagues, he said: '.I propose to put a little knowledge of the state of the nation's revenue Into your heads, whether you feel Interested or not." i . . Lowered Public Debt. Earon Konnlno was one of the most abstemious of men In pile of his wealth. Kven before the war he prac ticed the most nigged economics. Italy could not borrow favorably In the I,ondon market by reason of its enormous public debt. Sonnino low ered it by vigorous taxation, by re ducing public salaries and expendi tures and dismissing needless em ployes. The politic.ans, therefore, hated him. "I would not think of having a fire In my bedroom," he protested to the deputies on one occasion. "Our Ital ian winters are too beautiful to be spoiled In thut fashion." ' When a Sicilian deputy complained of the food supply In a crisis of the war. Sonnino grimly responded: "I have tasted no meat for a week. A Jew by race, a Protestant by faith nnd a native of Kgypt, the man who was one day destined to handle the Italian ship of state was born of un Italian Jewish father and a Scotch mother on March II, 1 4 7, on the banks of the Nile. He was educated partly in Knglaud and nt t'au Uni versity of I'lsa.

V Sixty Persons Are Injured liirmlnghnm, Ala., Nov, 22. Klgh ty four lives were lost and 60 per sons were Injured un a result of an accldcui and explosion yesterday In Doleinltu No. 2 coal mine of t Its Wood ward Iron company, according to a statement Issued lit noon today by Km nk II. Crock hp), president of the company. Of the Injured, 35 were re moved to their homes, 25 wern In hospitals. Work of Idendlficatlon ha not been completed, but It was be lieved there were 3 whit dead and 2't whle Injured. The accident und blast came almost simultaneously. Ilka two flashes of I'ghtnliig, entrapping 477 men. Weary hours had passed before lit of these woikers hud escaped by mean of two manways Into adjoining mine arid by the main entry. According to company officials, the explosion occurred simultaneously with the crash of three "skip" cars, which ran "wild" down the slope to the mine "yards," approximately 1,100 feet from the entrance. These cars, breaking tho cable, while they were being hauled up the slope to the en trance, crashed downward, severing an electric circuit. This caused a spark and as the cars crashed into tho "yards," which were In tho In terior of the mine, where loaded conl cars wero assembled before being hauled to the surface, the explosion occurred. Scene of Pa I has. Hcencs of pathos about the mine mouth, during the nlht and early morning hours, continued as relative and families of miner known to have been In the mine when the blast oc- eurrcd, waited expectantly for news of their loved ones. Many of these men, it was believed, had reached the surface safely through the runway connecting the mine with mine No. 2, and had re entered tho working to help In res cue work without communication wllh company official or relatives. Joyous reunions occasionally re lieved -the sorrowful scenes. One small girl gave u cry of delight as a grimy miner emerged, his face smoke- blackened and his clothing torn. The little girl threw herself Into Ms arms and tho pair hurried away. An aged woman Js said, to hava collapsed aa she greeted two sons, after several hours of .anxious waiting at the en trance. The boys, meeting rescuer In the mine as they were making their way out and learning that the workings were safe again from poisonous gases had instantly turned back to aid In the search for other men, thus keeping their mother In suspense until they finally reached the surface. Stories of Heroism. Htorles of heroism, common in coal mino disasters, began to (rlckle out this morning n begrimed rescuers came to the surface after long hours of work In tho mine. One rescuer told of an unidentified mine foreman who assembled about him 30 workers and soon after the blast took place ordered all to remain with him and work on fixing up brattices with stones and canvas to shut off the dreaded afterdamp gas that ha felt sure was to follow the explosion. According to the rescuer- worker, one miner objected to remain ing with the rest of the men nnd be gan to fight his way outward. The rest stayed behind and completed the brattice f stones and canvaB. When the fans were started and the air cleared sufficiently to make It safe to tear down the temporary wall, and the foreman l"d his men out, the body of the man who refused to stick with the rest was found only a few feet away from the temporary brattice, a victim of the gas. Many of the more seriously injured may succumb, it was said at the hos pital in .Hessemcr, where they vf're taken after they were rescued. It was after midnight before the stato militia at tho scene of the dis aster was able to clear the district about the mine entrance of the hun dreds of curious who came to watch the rescue work. The force of tho explosion wa felt In lUrmlngham, nine miles distant.

Tom Hales, chief Irregular leader In tho Vpton district of Cork, wa arrested Wednesday. HI capture Is regarded as Important, as he I said o have been the commandant In tho district, where Michael Collins was assasinat ed last August. Hales is a brother of Kean Hales, a member of the dall parliament, who Is a supporter of the Anglo-Irish treaty and a brigadier general In the national army in Cork. A dirpatch from Cork after the as sassination of Collins declared that Tom Hales accepted the responsibili ty for the ambush in which Collins met death. Hale had been a bitter opponent Of (he treaty and he and his sister were alleged to have set fire to the platform nt Bandon last St. Patrick day, while a demonstration in favor of the treaty was being held. Chillier Denied Freedom. Ersklne Chllders, one of Kamon d() Valera's chief lieutenants in the warfare of the republicans against the authority of the free stato govern ment, and eight other men, who have been tried by court martial, charged with acts subversive to law and or der, cannot obtain relief fhrough habeas corpus procedure. This decision was rendered by the master of the rolls, who has been lis tening for several days to arguments by counsel for Childers for a stay in the execution of the verdict of the military court which tried Chllders. The court ruled that he hud no Juris diction. He added that a state of war had existed for month and that it plainly was the duty of the govern ment, wjiether provisional or finally constitutional, to save the country from destruction. Opinion I'pheld, The king' bench today, on a hv bea corpus motion on behalf of two women prisoners, took th same view as the piaster of the rolls and, al though an appeal has been made from the bitter's ruling in th ChllJer' case to the court of appeals, the gen- rsl belief la the thl court will not reverse today' decision.

"Under this measure," ho said, "the Standard Oil company, owning its own tankers to move its own oil for its benefit, is to be handed out of the treasury four or five million dollars annually. Just for the privilege of hauling its own stuff to its own tank ers. It is a bold and naked raid on the treasury. The steel corporation Is similarly benefited, whilo the United Fruit company, operating its own fleet of ships to Central Amer ica, can go to the board at the end of the year, say vve have traveled so many miles nnd demand a, million dollar or two as a Christmas prcs tnt."
