STARKVILLE, Colo., Oct. IV Ttie bodies
of the first two victims of Saturday's ex
plosion were brought out of the mine at
10:30 this morning.
Fifty-four hours after the explosion oc
curred In the Starkville mine of the Colo
red Fuel and Iron company, entombing
more than fifty men, the first of the bodies
of the vlotima were found oy searchers. Two
men were located at J:60 o'clock this
morning Jn chamber 30 of entry J-7, 1,200
feet from the mouth of the mine and at
6:30 o'clock eight more were found 'n
chambers 31 and S5.
The condition of the bodies Indicates
that the men were ""killed Instantly by the
terrific force of the exploxlon. Several
were badly burned, but none was dis
figured beyond Identification.
President Welborn of the company, who
remained at the mouth of the mine re
ceiving reports from William Morgan,
superintendent of the Piedmont mine, who
was leading the rescue party of thirty
five men, state that he did not believe
any more bodies would be found very
soon for the reajon that the rest of the
Imprisoned men were company men and
were scattered through the various work
ings, engaged in repair work and similar
pursuits.
General Manager Weltxel waa awakened
by President Welborn at 6 o'clock to con
sult with him In reference to bringing out
the bodies. Mr. Woltxel worked without
sleep for thirty-six hours, directing the
rescue work In and out of the mine, and
bis chief insisted that he rest for a night.
Mr. Weltzel immediately communicated
with the mine from Ktarkvllle by telephone
and ordered Superintendent Morgan to
have the bodies of the dead carried past
the debris of the first heavy fall of coal,
torn down by the explosion and await his
arrival at the mine for further orders.
The work of rescue waa tedious and de
layed by the presence of deadly after damp, ,
which aovupmlatsa 'la- great .quantities In
the ichambera 'off entry J-7. tilops were
necessary to give the air from the port
able to fan a chance to dissipate the after
damp. Where possible the rooms filled
with the deadly gas Were brattlced and
isolated from the entry so that the bail
air waa held Inside. This, of course, waa
only where rooms were known to be with
out bodies.
At 11:15 p. m. word waa received that
rescuera had recovered the last of the
loven men known to be working In the
J entries at the time of the exloslon. The
men still In the mine must be carried over
1,000 feet of badly wrecked passageway be
fore they can be put on the elevator.

On a recent occasion the parrot, the

at Onee Address at

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. ll.-The completion
of the entire lakes-to-the-gulf deep water
ways project waa prophesied by Theodore
Rcosevelt In a speech which he made here
today at a breakfast given him by the
Business Men's league of St. Louis.
Colonel Roosevelt said It was largely oa
account of the Business aen'i league that
he had first come to take an Interest In the
project for Improving ta Mississippi. He
said that his grandfather's brother built
the first steamboat to go down the Missis
sippi and that on the first trip be encoun
tered an earthquake.
"There are people In my own city, es
pecially those who reside in the shadow of
Wall street, who would feel that there was
a certain appropriateness In having an
earthquake when that Roosevelt went any
where, especially west of the Alleghenlea."
he continued.
Waterways iore to Win.
The colonel said that he felt absolutely
certain that the . es-to-the-guir deep
waterway project would je completed in
time, although It was necessary to go
slowly and perfect the planj for the work.
"When we come ,to improving the water
ways," Colonel Roosevelt continued, "sev
eral things must be taken Into considera
tion. In the first place, have a well
thought out scheme for the entire water
way; Then take It up. section by section,
completing each section. If possible, profit
ing by the experience that each Improve
ment goes to better future methods.
Then we must get proper control of the
terminals, for If we don't the railroads will
get control. If the railroads do get con
trol we can't expect them to act in an
altruistic spirit toward their rivals."
The colonel aaid that the waterway would
not hurt the railroads and that people !
should get out of Uieir heads the idea that I
Bums unr s protrt meant some one's else
loss. ,
"Whenever- tbst l th case." ' he sii'ff
"I d" Tike to lnterfaro with th profit. In
no way do I help th honest busmes man

PARIS, Oct. ll.-The network of railway
lines covering northern Franc and em
braced In the Northern Railroad system,
waa practically tied up today by a strike
of trainmen that developed gradually last
night and In the early hours of today. The
men demand a minimum wage of SI a day
and other concessions.
Traffic to and from this city over north
ern lines Is disorganised. The effect was
immediately apparent on th bours where
railway stocks declined at th opening and
on th Bourse de Commerce, where sugar
Jumped, one franc and flour fifty centimes.
The cabinet met in special session and
voted to place the railroad on a military
basis. A decree will be Issued tomorrow,
and it Is understood the government will
take advantage of the law which permits
It to muster the railway employee into
twenty days service ss rerervlsts, thereby
subjecting thoin to military discipline. It
Is believed the decree will apply this rule
to all railway employes with the view to
preventing an extension of the strike.

CONSPIRACY CHARGE MADE
Chicago Board of Trade Files a Peti
tion Against Railroads.
SEVENTY-SEVEN LINES INVOLVED
Allegations Made that Roads Are li
a Combine to Drive Grain Trans
portation from the Lake
to Hall. y
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 A conspiracy
on the part of the railroads to deprive
western grain shippers of the advantages
of cheaf?water transportation and drive
the grain transportation business from thit
great ,like is charged in a petition filed
today.ith, the Interstate Commerce com-mhslpn-
tiy. thjeT Chicago Board of Trade. '
The complaint Ik directed against the
Pennsylvania railroad, the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, the Ne York Central and
seventy-four other railroad lines operating
east of Chicago and other Lake Michigan
and Lake Superior points.
It Is represented that "bv reason of
conspiracy on the part of the defendant
carriers, substantially all means of all-rail
through transportation from Chicago to
New York and other Atlantic seaboard
points, and also all parallel and competing
through lines Of transportation, via the
great lakes from Chicago and other lake
po.nts to Buffalo, and from Buffalo to
New Yorlt and other Atlatnlc seaboard
points, are owned and controlled by the
defendant carriers."
Recently the freight charges on rraln
received at Buffalo from the lakes called
ex-like were increased from Buffalo to
Atlantic seaboard points.
The Chicago board charges that serious
injury is being done and the Chicago

KANSAS CITY. Mo., Oct. 11. Four
sohools of instruction were opened today
in connection with the convention of the
Southwest Postal association. In session
here. The schools were for the Instruction
of postmasters, railway postal clerks, city
carriers and rural carriers.
A discussion of the civil service was one
of the important features of the conven
tion today.
a passive strike. Should the men on the
western system, the great artery for com
muters go out, business In Paris, already
seriously affected, might be paralysed.
Grave consequence may follow the action
of the cabinet.
1'p to this afternoon comparatively little
violence has been reported, but. as the
telephone and telegraph wires to the north
hav been out there Is some apprehension
In that direction.
Troops occupy the terminus, points along
the railroad lines and are patrolling the
road Itself.
There has been ill-feeling on the part of
the employes for some time, owing to the
refusal of the Northern Railroad .to In
crease the wages of the men to a minimum
of fl a day and to grant other conces
sions. The demsnds of the employes are: A
general increase In wages to meet the
higher cost of living; retroactive applica
tion of the employes' pension law; more
equitable division of work; the granting of
one day off In seven for all employes; dis
tinct employment by the month instead
of by the day.
