Mountain Top Crashes on to
Town of Frank , Alberta ,
BOULDERS DLOCK THE HIVER.
Stream Which Flows Through Center
of Town la Dammed Up Houses
Smothered Under Tons of Stones.
Disaster Resembles Volcanic Action.
Vnncouvor , April SO. Overwhelmed
Ty ) countless tons of rock shortly nftor
4 a. in. nnil with probably 100 of ltd
Inhabitants killed almost Instantly ,
the Httlo mining town of Frank , In
Boulhwostaru Alberta , Is throatcnod
with complete destruction by Hood.
Old Man's rlvor , which Hews throiiRh
the center of the town. IB dammed up
with the fallen rock to the height of
nearly 100 foot. The waters of the
rlvor are dammed up for miles and
Uio ontlro valley above the town IB
flooded. A blj ; body of water la press-
IUB with force upon the dam the wily
protection the town of Frank now has
unless the rlvor finds another chan
nel. Should the Impromptu dam break
the entire village would bo swept away.
A dispatch from Frank says : "A
tremendous loud reverberation shook
the whole valley of the Old Man's
river at 4:10 : a. in. and scarcely half
of the Inhabitants of this town awak
ened to a realization of the Im.mmlliiR
danger. The Frank mines , across the
rlvor from the town , were seen to bo
burled under hundreds of foot of rock
Just as the morning light was breakIng -
Ing , Inside of flvo minutes from the
first thunderous shock n omall force
of men had started to the relief of
the minors , despite the great risk they
ran of being burled under the rocks ,
which were utlll being precipitated
from the lofty mountain top. This vol
unteer relief force was unable to got
to the mine , but managed to got near
enough to determine that not a man at
the workings had escaped death.
Jilnny had boon fearfully mangled.
The disaster was merciful to those
men who were employed above ground
In that they must have been killed In-
otnntly , while the men In the workings
of the mlno may yet bo nllvo If they
have air to breathe. The disas
ter was not confined to the vicinity
of the mlno alone , for many of the
dwelling houses In the town of Frank
were demolished by tint falling rock.
801110 of the occupants of thcso houses
escaped death , but many others were
instantly killed. The latest returns
place the number of killed at 8G.
When reports concerning the magni
tude of the disaster and details con
cerning It commenced to como In from
Tollable won who had been out pros
pecting for news , It developed that
the earth opened for three-quarters of
E mile and many foot In width and
that the whole northern face of Turtle -
tlo mountain slipped from placo.
The shock resultant upon the precip
itation of the millions of tons of rock
into the valley , while only actually
demolishing a comparatively few of
the houses , so shook the foundations
of the dwellings In the town that they
are unsafe to llvo In and many hun
dreds of pcoplo will have to llvo in
the open or under such temporary
ehcltor as may bo procurable.
The railroad track for a distance of
two miles or moro cast of the station
is covered with from ten to forty feet
of rock and the telegraph wires to the
cast are down. All communication Is
being conducted over ono wire , run-
sing westward.
Hock is still being thrown on the
town from Turtle mountain and It is
Impossible to venture within half a
mile of the mlno workings. It is now
certain that eighteen men are burled
In the wreckage. All hope for them
lias been abandoned. The streets are
crowded with the relations and friends
of those known to be entombed.
It is generally thought hero that the
disruption of Turtle mountain was
brought about by a seismic disturb
ance , although there are people who
declare that the origin of the up
heaval was volcanic. No lava has
been seen. There is , however , no ex
planation for the continued upheaval
of rock. The eruptive influences seem
to center right at the crown of Tur
tle mountain.
The following conservative estimate
of the dead is : Men , women and chil
dren killed in the beds as they slept ,
2 ; minors working outside the mines
and instantly killed , 12 ; imprisoned in
the mlno , 18.
Most of the men imprisoned in the
mine , whoso death at first seemed cer
tain got out allvo. There were seven
teen men in the mine. Two died from
suffocation , but the other fifteen
worked their way out. The rescue
party above ground despaired of sav
ing the entombed men , for the en-
trauco was blocked by immense piles !
of broken rocks. The miners within ,
however , found an exit where there
was less rock , and after cutting their
. way through thirty feet of debris , nil
hut two emerged from the mine unin
jured. Ono of the imprisoned men
who so narrowly escaped death went
homo on emerging from the mine , and
found his house destroyed and IsIs
\vlfo and six children dead. There Is
now plenty of air In the mlno , and
the insldo workings are intact.

THEY DO NOT HAVE TO TELL.P
Supreme Court Decides In Favor of
Men Accused of Doodling.
Jefferson City , Mo. , April 30. The
state supreme court decided that I. L.
Page and Cole Hlcltox can not be
made to tell from whom they received
the 71.000 and $500 bills , had In their
possession In February last , about the
time the greater part of the alum boodle -
dlo money was distributed. The de
cision was rendered by Judges Robin-
eon , Fox and Burgess and It will , it is
bollovod , prove the most BO veto set
back the prosecution In the boodle
cases has yet received. The Judges
hold that Pngo and lllckox were with
in their constitutional rights and or
dered Sheriff Smith to discharge them
from custody.
Judgu jiazoll held that they could
toll from whom they received the
money without In any way placing
themselves In danger of prosecution.
The supreme court now holds that the
names of the men who gave them the i
money might bo n necessary link In i
the chain to secure their own convic
tions.

rtni
asm and his remarks wcro cheered
tc the echo. Resolutions were adopted

state and local governments In highway -
atw
way Improvements ,
The following olllccrs were re-elect-
cd : W. H. Moore. Chicago , president ;
Jj . W. Richardson , secretary , and
Charles 11. Huttlg , president of the
Third National bunk , St. Louis , trcas'
urer. The tlmo and plnco of holding the
next convention will bo decided by the
executive committee. St. Louis will
probably bo chosen , although Duluth ,
Indianapolis and Beaumont , Tex. , are
making efforts to secure the meeting.
The hull was packed with a crowd ,
which had been waiting patiently for
hours , when , at 5 o'clock , the presi
dent arrived to address the National
Good Roads association. The prcsl-
dent spoke of good roads In tones
which showed as well as his words
that ho was In favor of good roads ,
which , ho declared , "toll the greatness
of n nation. Tbo influence of nations
which have not been road builders 1ms
boon ovnncsccnt. Homo , the most
powerful of the olden civilizations , left
her Impress on literature and she
changed the boundaries of nations , but
plainer than anything else left to remind -
mind us of the Ho man civilization are
Roman roads. "
At this point in the president's
speech tbo crowd rose as ono man and
cheered , waving handkerchiefs and
bate.
"Merely from historical analogy , "
j the president continued , "this country ,
i which we bollevo will reach a position
of leadership never equaled this
country , I say , should so act that pos
terity will Justly say when speaking
of us , 'that nation built good roads. ' "
The president declared that good
roads probably were tbo greatest
agency for regulating the flow from
the country to the city of young men
and young women.
"A long line of liquid morass is 'not '
pleasant , " the president continued.
'It means In many Instances Isolation
o the farmer. When tbo girl or the
boy can't tnko a turn on a bike , even
o n neighbor's because of the roads
well , it is n situation not likely to
make farm llfo attractive. "
In conclusion the president spoke of
ho benefits to the country districts
of the tVolley line , the telephone and
ho rural frco delivery , and closed
with the assertion that good roads
would prove the greatest benefit of all.

Edward Received in Private
Conference by Leo Xm.
GOES DIRECT FROM EMDASSY.
Pomp and Ceremony Mark British
Soverelgn'o Reception Wlth'ln the
Vatican Greeted In Plaza of St.
Peter by Scotch Pilgrims.
Rome , April 30. King Edward vis
ited Pope Leo at the Vatican , going
direct from the British embassy In a
.
closed carriage. Ho was accompanied
by Colonel Lamb , the British military
attache. The carriage bearing the
king was followed by another contain
ing members of bis majesty's suite.
Tbo Vatican Is perhaps the most
ceremonious < court of Europe. It Is
undoubtedly ono of the most pic
turesque and all costumes worn there
nro of medieval times. AH King Ed
ward's carriage entered the court of
Snn Damazzo , surrounded by tbo well
known loggia of Raphael , and which
has been trodden by the feet of every
sovereign who visited Rome , with the
Ble
exception : of the present shah of Per
sia , his majesty was saluted by a battalion
Bitl
talion of tbo palatine guards In full
uniform.
Upon arriving before the private
apartment of the pope the door was
Immediately ' opened and tbo aged pontiff -
tiff was revealed , standing on the
threshold. ] His hand was extended ,
awaiting bis guest. His holiness was
dressed In robes of white and a red
velvet cap , bordered with ermine.
Even King Edward paused a moment
upon seeing the pontiff In his whKo
garments. The pope's face was the
color of Ivory , but ho moved without
aid and with no apparent difficult ? .
From his entire person there seemed
to emanate sentiments of benevolence
lo
and spirituality. The king and the
head of the church clasped hands and
exchanged a few words In French.
King Edward passed within the papal
apartment , the door was closed and
the pope and his guest was left alone.
King Edward remained with the pontiff
tiff for twenty minutes. A bell was
then rung and King Edward's suite
was admitted and presented to the
pope. This llttlo ceremony seemed to
please the pope immensely. At its
conclusion King Edward took his
leave , the pope crossing the room at
his side and saying his last words at
the door. From the Vatican the king
passed through the piazza of St.
Peter , where he was warmly greeted
In English by a number of Scotch
pilgrims now In Rome , who shouted
"Hurrah for the king. "
Had King Edward looked up at that
moment ho would have seen a figure
In a window of the second story of the
palace , It was Pope Leo. Contrasted
with the British sovereign , who stood
below in the sunlight , and the center
of the animation of , the immense
plaza , the solitary wbito figure In the
palace window seemed to further the
idea of the pope as a prisoner.
Instead of returning to the British
embassy , the king drove directly to
the qulrlnal.
Some particulars of the Interview
between King Edward and the pope
have become known. The pope greet 0t
ed the king , saying In French : "I tn
happy to see your majesty. "
King Edward replied : "I am happy
to be here and to add my congratula
tions to others on your having out it
lived the days of St. Peter. " tj
The rest of the conversation was ,
on the part of the British sovereign ,
concerning the attitude taken by the
pope on the principal social questions
of the day , and on the part of the
pope on the situation of the church in
the British empire. It has leaked
out that the pontiff Informed King
Edward that In view of the meeting
ho bad personally examined into all
questions regarding Catholic interests
now pending In various parts of the .
British empire and had prepared .ea .ee
memorandum to which he hoped the
king would pay his benevolent atten
tion. It is understood that one part
of this memorandum concerns the
school question in Canada and con
tains practically the same points ais
does the memorandum given by the
pope to Sir Wilfred Laurler , the Ca -
nadian premier , when that official was
last in Rome.
The pope , speaking to his familiars ,
seemed to be greatly pleased at the
visit of King Edward : He said : "He [
is a very nice man. "
At the reception at the embassy ,
King Edward expressed his great sat
isfaction at having met the pope per
sonally , and with reference to the
pontiff's appearance , said : "It Is
wonderful , he looks moro to bo seven
ty-three than nlnety-threo years old. "
