GAS EXPLOSION INC0AL MINE
Twelve Men Injured by Accident Wear
Seranton and rate of Thirty
In Doubt.
BCRANTON. Pa.. March I Twelve men
are known to have been injured and possi
bly thirty killed by ah rxploelon of gas
this afternoon In the Hoiden mine of the
Delaware. Lackawanna ft Western Rail
road company at Taylor, four mllea from
thla city. Of the twelve Injured taken from
the gna-ftlled mine four. probably will die.
There were twenty-eeven chambers affected
by the explosion, with two men In each
chamber. Twenty-four men have been ac
counted for, leaving thirty whose fate le
not known. As the explosion occurred at
about the time the men finished work It le
.possible that a majority of the thirty wlirl
be found at their homes when the excite
ment subsides. They are nearly all for
eigners.' At all event, If there were any men in
the chambers who have nor been taken
Out they are dead, according to tbe mine
officials, as the black .damp following the
explosion would asphyxiate them. -
. No search of the mine could be made, ft
the explosion destroyed all the air courses
in - the affected territory and made It Im
possible for anyone to reach IJ.. The whole
night it waa said at the mine, would be
required to- restore the-' ftir courses, and
consequently no search for the supposed
victim can be made u-atll morning. ... .
Definite Information was difficult to ob
tahv as Superintendent C. E. Tobcy, the
only official who would talk, was railed to
the Woodward mine in Kingston, near
Wllkesbarre, by an explosion which killed
two men and injured five.
Mine- Inspector Williams at 10 o'clock
safd ho believes all tbe men are accounted
f op. Fourteen are seriously burned and
twelve other slightly. All others, he says,
soaped.

of the Nebraska delegation to leave for
home. Back of hi leaving there developed
an extremely Interesting story that con
cern , two presidential postofflce. J. W.
McClelland of Fullertoh and Llndale of
Central City. Theee men' Mr. McCarthy
recommended and they were nominated by
the president, but confirmation ' wa post
poned for such a length of time that the
member from the Third Nebraska district
began to "smell a mouse" and he Instituted
a quiet Investigation with the result that
he learned someone had gone to the clerk
of the poetofflce and poetroade committee
of the senate and directed that the nomina
tions be held up. He callad upon Benator
Millard, who arid he knew absolutely noth
ing of the circumstance and that ao far
as he waa concerned their confirmation
ought to be made at once. He then MW
Benator Burkett, who denied any knowl
edge of the matter and said that It we
wholly a question for the North Platte
senator to tek care of. Not being aff
iled h Instituted a much cloeer Investi
gation with the reeult that he found that
Senator Burkett had" put a "atop order"
on the ' two poetmter. Today Mr. Mc
Carthy, before leaving for home, had If out
with Benator Burkett. He learned that had
he been right on the appointment of an-
additional Judg fof Nebraska there would
have been no difficulty, but not having
treated Mr. Burkett fairly, according to
the latter, the aenator' had gone to the
clerk and asked him to withhold favorable
action upon the appointment. McCarthy
can do nothing more. . He cannot "buck"
the senator and he left feeling extremely
resentful over the course things had taken.
While he ht hopeful that the appointments
will be confirmed he does not teel sure of
it. In which event hla' uceeseor. Judge
Boyd., will be called upon to make new rec
ommendation. New Jodsre ee. President.
Judge T. C. Munger of Lincoln was In

turned him over to Repreeentatlve Pollard,
who performed a like service In the house.
The delegation In the house met Mr.
Munger and congratulated him upon hla
succese. Judge Munger left tonight for his

Benator Burkett eald the reception ac
corded Mr. Munger by th president wa
extremely oordtal and that he remarked to

SUBSIDY BILL GOES OVER
Demooratg In Pnte Orctn'se Combination
ieaitBt tbipplni Vieaeure.
ACTION THiS SESSION ' IS IMPROBABLE
Senators Interested In Golf Ports
Leal tbe Opposition Considera
tion Postponed Catll
Todny.
WASHINGTON, March 2. There will be
no ship oubsldy legislation during the pres
ent session of congress. This fact wa
practically conceded by ail when the aen
ate supporters of the subsidy bill agreed
late today to allow the euoject to go over
until tomorrow. The failure of the measure
will be due to the opposition of democratic
' . . ,
senators, which waa so pronouncd as to
cause them, to filibuster for more than an
hour, today. . .
The position of democratic senators waa
made known to their republican colleagues
eurly today. Several o( them held an In
formal conference and after deciding that
the bill should not pass In it present shape,
they Instructed . their, caucu. leader
tor Blackburn, to convey this Information
to the republican leaders. The republicans
were therefore well aware of the probable
fate of the bill when at 1:30 o'clock Sena
tor Gallinger, who had charge of the bill.
moved to concur In the house amendments.
This motion ' wa Immediately met by a
counter motion to postpone consideration
until tomorrow. Thi wa voted down, but
various other motions, all dilatory, were
introduced by democratic Senators and not
withstanding they were all defeated. It wa
understood that the determined opposition
at ao late an hour In th session meant th
ultimate de'eat of the measure unlee some
agreement could be reached. After thla
episode a cessation of hostilities until I
o'clock wa secured. At that hour It waa
Immediately apparent that no progress
had been made toward harmony. Senator
Gallinger then auggested a further post
ponement until tomorrow at 11 o'clock. All
agreed to thl proposition. In th meantime
there will be aome effort to reach a com
mon ground, but no one hope for auoceaa.
The principal opposition today came from
democratic senators who were Interested
In the commerce cf the Uulf of Mexico,
and It haa been suggested that if further
provision could be made In that Intereat
they would accept the bllL Other demo
cratic senators, however, oppose th meoa
dre for other reasons, and If th gulf state
element should cease opposition It would
be renewed by their colleagues. Moreover,
the house leadere have practically served
notice upon the senate that If the bill should
be amended In any respect by the eenat
it would be impossible to obtain action In
the house because of the opposition there.
General Dedeteaey Bill Passed.
The senate today passed the general de
ficiency appropriation bill. The bill carries
slightly less than $10,740,000. It was
amended by the senate by the Inclusion of
several provisions, aggregating tsJO.OUO,
among which were the following:
To defray the expenses of. the senate and
house of representatives at the opening of
the Jameetown tercentennial exposition
$7,000.
To defray the expensea of the conelltu
tlonai convention In Oklahoma $26,240.
Increasing the aalary of the secretary of
the president from $6,000 to $.tu0.
To reimburse Senator Reed Braoot for
expenses Incurred by hlra In defending his
right to hi seat In th senate I16.C.
The Smoot amendment was the only on
to occasion discussion. Senator McLauren
offered an amendment which provided
protestaat aalnst Benator Smoot- should
receive an equal amount. When thi waa
laid on the table he p'ropoao ibat half the
amount ' should go to the protestanta.

Probable Plan of Defense.
It Is believed the defendants may raise
Immediately the legal questions Involved
in the prcceedlngs as dlntlngulshed from
the questions of faot. These legal questions
would go to the supreme court and the
proceedings In the superior court .Would he
hold up. This would avoid the necessity
of Mrs. Eddy appearing In person or be
ing obliged to give 1 deposition until the
puprcme cotirt had handed down an opin
ion. This opinion, if In favor cf the de
fendants, would quash the whole proceed
ing. General Frank S. Streeter, Mrs. Eddys
personal counsel, declined tonight to dis

EXPERTS INJIRGtNIA CASE
Three Physician Testify s to Heotel
Condition of trotfce
'I' A
t. Brother, """"',
CULPEPPER, Vs., March I The attempt
of the defense to show that Phillip and
James A. Btrother, charged with the mur
der of William T. Bywatevs, their brother-in-law,
were laboring under emotional In
sanity on the night of the shooting was
the feature of their trial today. Two wit
nesses, one called by the defense to prove
Its theory of "irresistible Impulse" and the
other by the state In rebuttal, gave expert
opinion. ,
The testimony of Dr. Charles Clark, con
nected with the government hospital . for
the Insane at Bt. Elizabeth's, the defense'
witness, declared In the broadest sense his
belief that the two brothers were mentally
deranged on the night of the tragedy.
The testimony of the state' witness. Dr.
W. F. Drery, connected with th atate j
central hospital for Insane negroes, was
given with caution and was "that th
Btrother brother wer n.ot. In hi belief,
insane." After reading the hypothetical I
queetlon, he stated It as bis belief that th
men were Induced "by th greateat anger
almost to the limit to do the deed." ,f
To further controvert the "emotional. In
sanity" plea advanced the prosecution will
call s third alienist.
Another development was Judge Harri
son' ruling that any evidence tn rebuttal
not pertinent to th Btrother brother men
tal condition at the time of the commission
of th deed will not b permitted to go to
th Jury.
It I not expected that th case will go
to the Jury before Wednesday although
Judge fiarrlon ha requested that the op
posing oounsel prepare their Instruction a
soon aa posslbla.
