Monterey Mex.-Latest news from
the coal mine at Palu , where the ex-
, plosion occurred Friday night , indi-
! ciates ' that the loss of life will probably
fbe ! miners Mexi-
seventy-two , mostly Mes -
icans and Japanese. Only two bodies
ihave , been thus far recovered , owing to 1
the : presence of poisonous gases. The
'force ' of the explosion blew down all
I of the timbers in the slope from the
sixth lift to the surface. It blew out
the mouth of the slope , lifting twenty
feet of surface and closing the mine. <
The fanhouse was also blown down ,
but the fan and engine were not in-
jured. Entrance was made to the
mine through the second opening , but
all the ventiliating currents and air
steppings being destro'yed , it was im-
possible to penitrate into the mine far
enough to reach any of the miners.
The first rescue party was overcome
and a second party had to go in and
relieve them. They were overcome by ;
afterdamp , but were brought to the
surface and relieved in a few hours.
The rescue helmets , of which thE >
company has a full supply , could not
be used , as they were so heavy and
the place left to crawl through so small
that the men could not get through
with them on.

Following as it does the explosion
which early Saturday , with a great loss
of life ; destroyed the building and

to blow up the auxiliary plant of that

paper finding a powerful -
fernal machine in the residence of Sec-
retary Zeehandelaar , of tne Merchants' ' '
t and Manufacturers' association , the at
tempted outrage has wrought this city
t
to an intense state of suspense and ex-
citement Gen. Otis and the responsi-
ble heals of the paper unequivocally
charge the Times building disaster and
the narrowly averted attempts at fur-
ther destruction of life and property to
labor union sources.
With equal emphasis the leaders of
union labor here and throughout the
state repudiate the accusation and
have offered all aid in their power in
the effort to detect the culprits.

. IN ITS FLIGHT.
BREAKS AIR RECORD
WALTER BROOKINS FLIES 186
MILES IN FIVE HOURS 49
MINUTES.
WINS $10,000 CASH PRIZE !
Young Aviator Surpasses All Cross-
Country Flights In His Chicago to
Springfield ( III. ) .Trip-Out-Dis-
tances Special Train.
Springfield 111. What is looked up-
remarkable "
on as one of the most
feats in aerial navigation was accom-
: plished by Walter B. Brookins , in a 3
Wright biplane , Thursday , when he
successfully flew from Chicago to this
city , and in doing so he broke all cross-
country aeronautic records.
With \ only two stops , neither of
which was actually necessary , he made
the trip from Chicago to Springfield ,
a distance of 186 miles , in five hours
and forty-nine minutes , maintaining an
average speed of 32.7 miles an hour ,
and won the $10,000 prize offered by
a Chicago newspaper.
Along the entire route , from Chicago
to the state fair grounds here , hun-
dreds of thousands of people cheered
the daring young aviator as he passed.
As the great mechanical bird came
to the ground here in the presence of
40,000 people he was cheered vocifer-
ously for fully half an hour.
Brookins left Chicago at 9:15 a. m.
He dropped out of the clouds over the
fair grounds in Springfield at 4:45.
One of the first persons to grasp
the airman by the hand as he stepped
from his seat after the long and spec-
tacular flight was Gov. Charles S. De-
neen , who was followed by Mayor
John S. Schnepp of Springfield.
Forty-seven minutes after Brookins
rose from the ground In Washington
park , Chicago , the "Daylight Special" .
left the Park Row station over the Illi-
nois Central. A special car had been
attached in which traveled Wilbur
Wright , the airship inventor ; Roy
Knabenshue , special representative of
the Wright brothers ; members of the
Aero club of Illinois , and about forty
newspaper men.
After a flight of two hours and twen-
ty-eight minutes Brookins came to Gil-
man , where he arrived at 11:43. Brook-
Ins was far ahead of the train and he
decided to alight and await the arri-
val of the train.
The train arrived at Gilman at 12:15
and orders were given by the division
superintendent of the railroad to hold
the train until the biplane should re
sume Its flight The gasoline and wa
ter tanks were replenished , and after
the engines had been gone over care-
fully by Wright and Knabenshue ,
Brookins resumed his flight
From Oilman to Springfield the spe-
cial train and the aeroplane ran neck
and neck , first one forging ahead ,
then the other , but never at any time
more than a quarter of a mile apart
Brookins was forced at 3:20 to de
scend at Mt PulaskI for fuel , only
twenty-four miles from the state fair
grounds. The landing was one of
the most remarkable that has ever
been seen In the history of aviation.
Trees and fences surrounded him on
all sides and with perfect control he
picked out a spot , after soaring about
in a short circle , scarcely more than
half a block square , and landed square
In the center. The special train was
held up , the aeroplane's supplies again
were renewed , and at 3:45 he as-
cended again. From Pulaski to the
fair grounds a speed of thirty-five
miles an hour was maintained.
Joke May Cause Blindness.
Newark , N. J.-Miss Lucy Burton , a

her face.

UI S. THREATENED BY PLftGU
EMIGRANTS FROM CHOLERA DIS-
TRICTS EMBARK FOR AMERICA.
New York and Washington Officials
Take Steps to Prevent Scourge
Reaching This Country.
Paris.-Reports from Italy through
private sources declare that Ital-
Ian emigrants from the districts
of that country which are scourged
with cholera are being shipped at
Genoa for the United States.
The French press echoes the French
government's resentment at Italy's :
concealment of the cholera situation
and points out that , while the authori-
ties at Naples notified other Italian
cities of the presence of cholera and
refused to clear steamers for other ;
Italian ports , they insisted abroad
that , the disease was gastroenteritis
and gave the steamers bound for
French and other Mediterranean ports
clean bills of health.
New York. - The most effective
precautions possible are already
being taken against the en
trance of cholera infection into this
country , said Dr. Alvah H. Doty ,
health officer of the port of New York

WAGE WAR ON SUGAR TRUST
New Action Against American Re-
fining Company Is Ordered by At-
torney General Wickersham.
Washington.-Orders from the At
torney general to District Attorney
Wise In New York to smash the sugar
trust went out Monday and the ac
tion will be filed there within a week.
An amended petition , though much
more comprehensive in its charges ,
has been prepared after a conference
between the attorney general , Dis-
trict Attorney Wise , Special Attorney
Simson and Mr. McReynolds.
It charges the sugar trust with vio
lation of the Sherman anti-trust law
and the court is asked to dissolve the
trust and issue an injunction restrain-
ing the American Sugar Refining com-
pany of New Jersey from voting the
shares of the subsidiary companies
pending the redistribution of these
shares among their original owners.
The action will be in all respects sim-
ilar to that which resulted In the
smashing of the Standard Oil company
In the United States circuit court and
in a general way it resembles the ac
tion against the tobacco trust

Sffi4SONISCHOSEW
RECEIVES NOMINATION FOR GOV
ERNOR AT NEW YORK RE-
PUBLICAN CONVENTION.
DIRECT PRIMARIES WIN OIT !
Platform Indorses Administrations of
Taft and Hughes , Says Payne Tat
iff . Law Is Success and Commend
Work of Last Congress.
Saratoga , N. Y.-The followinj
ticket was nominated by the Repuh .
lican state convention on Wednesday :
For Governor-Henry L. Stimson of
New York.
Lieutenant Governor - Edward
Schoeneck of Onondaga.
, Secretary of State-Samuel S. Koe-
nig of New York.
Comptroller-James Thompson of
Valley Falls.
Treasurer-Thomas F. Fennell of
Elmira.
Attorney General-Edward R. O'Mal-
ley of Buffalo.
State Engineer and Surveyor-
Frank M. Williams of Madison.
The platform as adopted indorses
the administrations of President Taft
and Governor Hughes ; declares that
the Payne tariff law has been a suc-
cess , and refers with approval to the
work of the last congress. It pledges
the continuance of the state graft in-
quiry "until all wrongdoing capable of
exposure shall be brought to light. "
The plank relating to direct primaries
is brief , but admits of no misconstruc-
tion. "We promise legislation which
will enact these principles into law , "
is the pledge.
The tariff plank says :
"The Payne tariff law reduced the
average rate of all duties 11 per cent.
By increasing the duties of some lux-
uries and articles not of ordinary use ,
making , however , no increase on any
common food product , it turned a na
tional deficit into a surplus. Under
Its first year of operation the value of
Imports free of duty was the greatest
In our history by $109,000,000 and the
average rate of duty was less than un
der the Wilson law. Unlike that Demo-
cratic law , its great reductions of duty
have not stopped industry or deprived
labor of any part of its hire. It gives
free trade with the Philippine islands
and it establishes a customs court.
Its maximum and minimum rates give
us for tie : first time equality of oppor- :
tunity with other nations In our for- I
eign trade.
"A Republican congress Is necessary
to provide needed appropriations for
this board and to assure business and
labor that changes in rates will be
made only' to equalize the difference
In cost of production and not to re
duce rates to the free trade , or purely
revenue , basis favored by the Demo-
cratic party. Advance in the cost of
living are only the local reflection of a
tendency that is world-wide and can-
not be truthfully said to be due to the
present tariff. "

PRAISE ' FOR LA FOLLETTE
CONVENTION CALLS SENATOR PI.
ONEER PROGRESSIVE.
Wisconsin Republicans Declare Payr
Tariff Law Falls to Carry Out
Party Pledge.
MadIsonVis.Sharp criticism of
the Payne tariff law. a demand tor
the physical valuations of railroads
and unstinted praise of Senator La
Follette as the pioneer "progressive
are the principal planks of the plat-
form adopted by the Republican state
convention Wednesday.
Indorsement of the state's stronglY
"Insurgent" delegation In congress
and a slap at President , Taft are ex-
pressed in the following resolution :
"Wisconsin Is to be congratulated
upon having representatives in tbe
senate and house who remained true
to the people and to the national plai
form of the party , notwithstanding
the efforts to punish them , for so dc -
ing bv withdrawal : of federal patro-
. .
"
r.age.
On the tariff the platform says :
"The Pavne-Aldrich tariff is not a
compliance with the pledge of the
Republican party In its national plal
form. The true basis of protectiv
tariff is the difference between the
cost of production at home and
abroad. and we hold any increased
cost of production of living of Amer-
ican labor should be accompanied by ;
compensating tariff duties.
"The present tariff board has no
power of investigation , and Is not re-
quired to report to congress. We fa-
vor the creation of a nonpartisan
tariff committee empowered to ascei -
tain the cost of production In this and
other countries , and required to make
frequent reports of the information
gained in cpngress.
"Upon the information so obtained
congress should proceed to revise the
different schedules Independently ot
each other , according to tru pro-
tective tariff principles. "
Madison , Wis. - Wisconsin Demo-
crats , In state platform convention , at
which Chairman J. E. Davies , who pre-
, sided , predicted a Democratic victory
this fall , adopted a platform with iead
Ing planks as follows :
Endorses the national platform of
1908 ; declares the Republican syrten
of tariff economically : unsound , po-
litically corrupt and legalized robbery ; ;
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act is cr.llec
an indefensible masterpiece of injus-
tice. Favors a national income tax ,
favors the election of United States
senators by direct vote , opposes ship
subsidies , denounces the RepuhHcar
postal bank law , favors the conserva-
tion of national resources and de
nounces the present administration , ,
especially Secretary Ballinger ; state
regulation and control of trusts , more
stringent corrupt practice act , home
rule for municipalities : : , popular vote
on the initiative , referendum and re
call , and comes out flatly against coun-
ty option.
BLOW DEALT BRIBE DEFENSE
Legislator Beckemeyer Swears Browne
Said "This Is Lorimer Money"
When Paying Him $1,000.
Chicago.-Sensational testimony was
introduced into the senatorial investi-
gation of Senator William Lorimer's
election Thursday when Representa-
tive H. J. C. Beckemeyer of Carlyle ,
Ill. , testified that , after being requested
to vote for Lorimer by Lee O'Neii
Browne , minority leader In the legisla
ture , he was handed $1,000 by the lat
ter , with the statement : "This Is Lori-
"
mer money.
It was the first time since the hear.
Ing began that direct testimony was
offered connecting the junior senator
from Illinois with the alleged corrup-
tion that existed during the forty-
sixth general assembly. Heretofore
when testimony of the payment of
money to legislators was brought in
the plea of the defense has always
been that the money was not paid for :
the election of Senator Lorimer , but
for : other and extraneous legislative
matters-the "jack-pot , ' In short
Beckemeyer : told Senator Frazer
that ; he understood he was getting the
$1,000 for voting for Lorimer , but said
there was no promise made to him by
anyone that he should receive any
money for his vote.

Got Two Votes and Declines. 'j
W. H. McCowen of Curtis , whose
name was written on the populist ' bal I
lot , found himself at the close of th * I
primaries the populist nominee for- I I
state senator in the Twenty-ninth j
senatorial district. -Mr. McCowen had-
received two votes , according to thft : .
tabulation in the office of the secre 1
1
tary of state. These two votes mad- I
him the populist nominee under the-
law. Not caring to accept the nomi-
nation , Mr. : McCowen filed a declina-
tion with the secretary of state. This
caused the populist senatorial com-
mittee to go to the trouble of holding"
a meeting and formally nominating
George Sayer of Cambridge to fill the-
vacancy caused 'by the declination or-
the man who got two votes on th
populist ticket. A full history of the-
transaction , together with full pro-
ceedings of the populist committee- .
when it filled the vacancy , has been
