from the City Coal mine today. It
was believed to be that of Harry

Weary, grief stricken women

blackened and bruised bodies of
34 of the 51 miners entombed in

In early this morning, halted for
several hours the work of rescue
after sixteen bodies had been tak
en out. After damp, the dread
poison gas of the mine, made first
attempts to recover the bodies pre
carious and par' of the night was
spent in repairing the mine's ven
tilating system.
The blast trapped all the men
working in little rooms off the
third and fourth and seventh and
eighth entrances of the mine. A
flash of flames quickly consumed
all the life sustaining oxygen and
the concussion of the explosion
brought loose coal and a shower
of timber down on the workers.
Mine experts said a cutting ma
chine, working close to the wall
of an abandoned mine had cut
through a partition, releasing a
flood of gas that had accumulated
in the old workings. A flame from
a miners' lamp Ignited the gas and
caused the explosion. In four In
stances fathers and sons were vic
tims. These were Earl and Lex
Robertson, Phillip and Wayne
Walters. Florence and Emll Le
Cocq and Earl and Frank Hawhee.
The sole survivor of those !

STATE HOUSE. Salem. Ore..
Feb. 21. There will be no addi
tional state tax levy. This con
clusion was reached by the wavs
and means committee last night
after Governor Pierce appeared
and said that he would veto any
measure of the kind that provided
for more than one-fourth of a mill.
Since this would not be sufficient
to restore the normal tax making
bise for the annual levy next De
cember, the committee decided to
drop it.
Members of the committee are
still divided in their opinion
whether there will be enough mon
ey without it to tide over the pres
ent biennlum. but it now appears
there will be with probablv $.100 -000
or a little more to the good, if
the proposed revenue bills are ac
cepted. The eommlttee decided to drop
the proposed cosmetix tax. as a re
sult of the appearance of about 30
druggists from as many towns
who declared war against the
proposal. A verbal opinion from
Attorney CJeneral Van Winkle was
I thPt the tax would probably not be
collectible. Another decision last

$100,000 from the veto by wlth-

Colonel Davidson was In com

told of It by Colonel linker, head
of the secret service of the army.
Since then, Davidson says, he has
kept a secret "the information gi
ven him. Davidson has been
blind for 12 years. '
Hooth's body was buried in the
jbasement of a warehouse at Ports-
mouth, in a deep grave, and cov
ered with acid, Davidson says
Colonel linker told him. Tho
grave then was filled with lime
stone and dirt.
"That was 60 years nco. There
