SHOCK FELT MANY MILES KJrst Relief Party to Kilter "Work ings Is Overcome by Damp Sur- " rej- Expert Leads Way Some Bodies Are Recovered. BTRMTN'GTTAM, Ala.. May 5. Forty ,1ve white men and between 130 and 140 negroes are entombed in No. 3 coal mine at Palos tnoight as the result of a terrific explosion which , occurred there this morning. It is believed that all are deati. Palos Is 40 miles west of Birming ham and the mines are owned by the Palos Coal & Coke Company, of this city. Two bodies were found early to night, but it Is expected that few can be rescued before morning. Shock Is Widespread. The flames shot 200 feet into the air from the mouth of the slope when the explosion occurred and the shock was felt for miles. Timbers from the slope weer hurled several hundred feet from its mouth. Rocks from the roof caved in and made access to the mine diffi cult. The fan machinery was badly dam aged, but air Is being pumped into the mine tonight In the hope that some of the men are still alive. Local residents did what they could but relief work was not started in earn est until the special train from Birm Ingham arrived In Palos shortly after 4 o'clock with four physicians, four under takers and several special helpers. Rescuers Are Overcome. The first rescuers who went Into the mine after the explosion were overcome by firedamp and had , to be carried out. J. J. Rutledge, mine expert of the Geolo gical Survey, was among the first to en ter and in working his way 1400 feet down the slope found the second right entry caved In. The two bodies recovered tonight were in the main slope. 1 1 BODIES ARE RECOVERED Rescuers Reach 1400-Foot Level. Most en 900 Feet Further In. PAI.09, Ala., Slay 6. At midnight res cue parties had reached the 1400-foot level and had found 11 bodies. Most of the miners were working in the 2300-foot level at the time of the explosion and it is expected the other bodies probably will be found there. None of the bodies will be brought to the surface. HOLD TRADITIONS, IS CRY Bishop of Victoria lectures to Stu dents at Mt. Angel. MT. ANGEL. COOLKGE, Or., May 5. (Special.) In a lecture before the faculty and students last night Rt Rev. Alexander MacOonald, I. !., bishop of Jiotorla. B. C.. who Is here on a visit, p"scrtbed his recent travels through ihe Holy Land, and in the course of what was a scholarly and instructive narration, threw many elucidating sidelights on matters pertaining to the sacred places. Bishop MacDonald deplored the mod ern tendency to discard all tradition and reject all proposed facts for which there Is not documentary proof, saying that Christianity was founded on tra dition,, and that documentary proof, while good as evidence, is by no means the proof by which "facts" are estab lished or discredited. When a tradi tion has been handed down by whole nations of people from generation to generation, we certainly show a most woful lack of logical reasoning in re jecting the same for want o docu mentary proof, he said. GREAT NORTHERN TO BUILD Entirely cw New Fart of Montana Is to Be Opened Vp. GREAT FALLS. Mont., May 5. The rjreat Northern Railway Company to day started condemnation procedlngs for a right of way through Fergus County for building a branch line about 60 miles long, which shall run from Hauck's siding on the Billings & Northern, a Cireat Northern branch, to Junction with the main line on the Great Northern at a point near Mondak, on the Montana-lakota line. In substance, this means that the Great Northern is about to build an entirely new line from the Montana Iakota line to Great Falls, and it will open up a great section of country heretofore without railway facilities. NEGRO'S AUTO IS REAL WORRY Jack o.llinson Scares Fight Promo ters With Bla; Machine. SAX FRANCISCO, May 5. Jack Johnson is training at leisure. Since he has been in San Francisco he has divided his time between bits of busi ness and pleasure mostly pleasure. He objects to the mention of any sort of work and is annoyed by any slight disturbance of his tranquil existence. His gymnasium is ready but he passes it by without even glancing at it. All that he cares for by way of di version from the smooth paths of the simple life Is his automobile. When he is not sleeping or walking along the Golden Gate Park and ocean beach highways, he Is at the steering wheel of his car. His "big tlme-destroyyig" racing machine arrived today and sent a thrill through the rather apprehen sive management of the big fight. Johnson has made all sorts of prom ises that he will avoid the danger mark, but low, rakish speed machines, as part of the training apparatus In a champion heavyweight fighter's camp on the eve of a great ring battle, are not conducive to confidence among t.e promoters. Manager George Little stated today that Monday had been chosen for the beginning of the conditioning season. ALABAMA Johnson will be put on a routine sched ule and from then until the day of the fight he will be carefully watched and handled by his trainers. ACADEMY" TO MEET LINCOLN Team to Be Changed in Expectation of Hard-Fought Game. With every promise of good weather and a dry field for this afternoon, th? game between Portland Academy and Lincoln High School will be played on Multnomah Field at 8:S0 o'clock. Portland Academy held a fast practice last night on its own field and showed lots of ginger. A few changes probably will be made in the Academy team so as to give it a better balance. Rummelln will cover first in the place of Masten. Rummelin has had more experience in baseball than Masten. Mike Sanford, Portland Academy's heavy hitter, will be absent from the game today. Sanford has several boils on his legs and cannot ran. His place in right field will be filled by either Masten or Jack. Robert son. Thompson will do the honors on the firing line for the High School team, Thompson has not been going in his best gait in any of the league games yet, but thinks that his arm has come around at last and he will probably work through the game. Lincoln's recent victory over the Jefferson High team has put spirit into the school rooters and they expect to be there strong. Portland Academy sends out reports tn the effect that the entire student body will be present to cheer its team. JEFF'S ATTITUDE DISCUSSED San Francisco Sporting Men Explain Opposition to Welch. SAN FRANCISCO, May 5. Local sport ing men today discussed mainly t'.ie real reasons why Jeffries, through Berger, re fused to consider Jack Welch for referee. Kveryone here knows Welch would make the best referee of all the Californians named, because he is always fair, never loses his head, can't be bulldozed by the crowd and is big and husky enough to handle either Jeff or Johnson, should either man hang on his opponent and "re fuse to break away. Berger insinuated it looked auspicious to see Johnson so eager for Welch, but the true reason why Jeffries and Berger can see nothing good in Welch Is because of some comment he passed on Jeffries sev eral years ago. Jeffries came up here and received J1000 for refereeing the Attel-Moran fight, as It was figured his presence In the ring would draw a big crowd. Welch expected to referee the scrap and he is said to have remarked: "Why don't the big stiff stay down on his own hill at Vernon?" Jeffries heard of this and was much put out. When Jeffries went up to Goldfleld to referee the Gans-Nelson fight, he tarried a few hours at Reno and 1b said to "nave dropped about $3500 at a faro gambling house run by Jack Welch's old partner. When called on to pay the debt, he welched and sued. These things Jeffries remembers, and for them he has barred Wlch. PORTLAND DOGS WIN FRIZES Defeat of Walla Walla Rush by Lady Rockett Is Surprise. Judging at the Seattle bench show was begun Wednesday afternoon by Dr. Charles W. Clayton, of Chicago, and Portland dogs were among the prize-winners of that day. r A decided surprise was found In the fact that U. S.

TO SEND 12 ATHLETES Meet With Pacific W.lll Give Line on Academy Students' Work. Twelve athletes, comprising the Port- land Academy track team. will leave Portland tomorrow for Forest Grove, where a meet will be held with' Pacific Vniversity. The academy track has been put in good shape and the boys are working-out every afternoon that the weather permits. The squad was out yesterday and was sent through the paces by Coach Kletzer, formerly of the University of Michigan. The meet with Pacific will give a good outline on the merits of the men. The weak point of the team is in the hurdles, for only one experienced man is running In that department. Next Wednesday afternoon Portland Academy will have a meet with the Columbia University on the latter's field. Coach Kletzer will take the following men with him to Forest Grove: Captain Norris. Condon, Brace, Wilson and Livingstone in the sprints; Fenton in the high jump; Edwards. Long, Korrell. In the distance events; Rummelln will run the hurdles; Small.

Work has been carried on double-tracking- since last July, but while a large force of men lias been employed bad weather conditions have prevented the progress deemed desirable. Mr. Nutt yesterday said it was Intended to increase the force at work In a special effort to expedite the work. The Northern Pacific tracks to Seat tle are getting most congested. The Oregon & Washington trains, added to the already large Northern Pacific traffic, render it desirable to complete the double-tracking at as early a. date as possible.
