Former Premier

"Silent Statesman' Dies in
Rome Known a "First

Home, Nov. 2S. (i!y A. i Huron
Honnlno, twice prime minister of Italy
unI also foreign minister during the
great war, died tonight.
IJaron Kidney Honiiino, Vlho silent
sttttesrnnn of Italy," disliked to tidk,
but could he fluent in Ave languages.
He was prime minister of Italy in
1906 and ugain in 1910. From 1914
to 1019, he was minister of foreign
affairs. 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.
Sonnino's grandfather migrated
from the ghetto of Leghorn, Italy, to
Egypt, where he built up an enor
mous fortune as a banker, a fortune
which the future premier of Italy en
joyed. Was Formerly Editor.
llefore entering politics he was edi
tor of the magazine "Itassegnu,"
which he founded and In which for
years he aired his political and eco
nomic views. He olso wrote and lec
tured on Dante and Petrarch, of
whose works he was a close student.

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

Tom Hales, Who Accepted Re-gpow-ihility
for Death of
Michael Collins, Ar
retted in Dublin.
Dublin. Nov, 23. Hy A.,P.) 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.

and condemned during flvo hours' dn
bale, in which leaders on both aide

Id satisfy all eager to speak, tho meet
ing time Friday was advanced an

Chairman Greene of tho merchant
inn rlno committee, which framed it,
and Hepresentatlvo Edmunds, Penn
sylvania, ranking republican member,
mado the principal arguments for tho
bill. Itepresentntlve John M. Nelson,
republican, Wisconsin, was selected
by democrats in charge of the opposi
tion to go to bat first to urge Its dc.
feat. Representative f lunkhead of
Alabama, democrat, member of tho
merchant marine committee, attacked
the Mil at length, and ltepresentntlvo
Watson, republloun, Pennsylvania, de
fended It briefly.
firerne Ripens Fight.
The good tvhirli ho believed would
come to the country through oiera
tlon of an adequate merchant murine
wn emphasized by Chairman Greene
In opening the fight, lie contended
it would give employment to thou
sands, retain in (lie United Statu
$300,000,000 annually in freight pay
ments, prevent tho necessity of th
country facing another wartime ton
nug crisis nnd right tho Injustice
done tho American merchant marine
over a long period of years.
Hitting squarely at the opposition,
Mr. Greene told how the government
had aided farmer and railroads, how
it had built highways, nnd then de
plored it failure to put the flag at
Its proper standard on the seas,
Edmunds Defends Hill.
In giving a detailed explanation of
the bill, inviting question and meet
ing nil attacks, Mr. Edmunds express
ed belief that most shipping people
wanted it passed, Although he declar
ed they had displayed slight interest
in it framing and had not attempted
to dominate or direct the committee.
Mr. Kdmund said he was firmly con
vinced that th compensation pro
vided wo sufficiently large to make
up for the loss of operation under the
American flag and guarantee an ad
equate fleet.
"Grea Britain started with a big
subsidy," ho said. "Today it is a
mail subvention. Japan, after 20
years of high subsidy, Is reducing it
and still is nblo to keep her ships
on the sea while doing so."
Declaring the government was pro
posing to rob I'cter to pay Puul,
Mr. Nankhead told the house the is
sues involved and the contemplated
expenditures wero so great that it
was the duty of the bill's proponents
to show there woa no other remedy
for present shipping conditions. He
characterized it as a "monstrosity."
Kob Peter lo Pay Paul.
"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." In his opening attack, Mr. Nelson
warned republican leaders that if they
"wvuld hold the party together they
must go out to the masses and not to
the ship profiteers." He insisted th
bill assured a return of 12 ij per cent
annually and over that to ship owner
nnd operators.
There was never a largo attendance
on the floor, but tho debate wa fol
lowed with unusual interest.
