But Son's Message Decides.
SAN" FRANCISCO. Jan. 10. (Special.)
Governor Cosgrove has been in receipt
of many telegrams today from fritids In
the State of Washington advieing him
that on account of the severe cold wea
ther that is being experienced In the
Northwest, he would do well to delay his
departure until it has moderated.
From the Southern Pacltio officials it
was learned that the private car Cali
fornia, belonging to the O. R- & N. Com
pany, had been sent from the Oakland
Mole this afternoon to San Jose, there
to be attached to the Los Angeles limited

Postpone Trip North.
OLTMPIA. Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.)
Telegraphic information from Paso Kobles
received toaay by Howard G. Cosgrove
that his father would leave tomorrow
morning for Olympia caused the former
to send a strongly-worded message urg
ing a postponement of the trip. Yester
day Howard Cosgrove wired his mother
at Paso Robles as follows:
"Two feet of snow throughout the
Northwest. Weather very bad. Great
danger of blockades or washouts. Every
one advises postponement of trip. Every
thing working right. No need for haste.
Lot-ton here; Wire me today what you
decide. If you postpone will wire further
suggestions."
Mrs. Cosgrove replied: "Start at S
o'clock on morning of 11th. Will wire
you Tuesday at Hotel Oregon, Portland."
- This caused young Cosgrove to send the
following urgent message and in the fear
of down wires to send a similar message
by relays of long-distance telephones: "It
is suicide to attempt trip now. Every
friend we have is In arms against such
foolhardiness. Blizzard worst ever known
and growing worse."

No Sign of Damage in Mine.
The explosion was remarkable In that
except foi the many dead it left scarcely
a trace and the Interior of the mine to
night shows no sign of damage.
A spark from a trolley pole f an elec
tric motor coming Into contact with a
pocket of gas is assigned as the cause
of the explosion.
The lone survivor of the explosion was
an Italian youth who escaped harm.
An expert who had been experimenting
with the gases m the mines at Zelgler
said he had placed the mine In safe con
dition to be operated.
The men caught in the explosion were
engaged in clearing away the debris
caused by the recent fires in the mine.
Bodies Badly Burned.
The bodies taken from the mine are
badly burned and Identification is dif
ficult. Twenty-slx men entered the mine
on the night shift and the names of the
victims are taken from the payroll.
The explosion was peculiar. No noise
or shock was-heard or felt at the open
ing of the shaft only a puff of smoke
was seen. The engineer noticed the
smoke, and realizing that an accident
had happened, summoned aid.
The flames of the recent fire had been
sealed and confined to workings which
were not in the vicinity of the present
explosion.
Mrs. Letter assisted her husband in
quieting the widows and orphans who
crowded about the mine. She also fur
nished coffee and sandwiches to the men
attempting to recover the bodies.
The coroner has adjourned a hearing
until tomorrow.
Joseph Husband, an Intimate friend
of Mr. Leiter. who has been the tatter's
guest at Zelgler for the past week,
was overcome by gas in attempting to
rescue bodies, and was with consider
able difficulty revived.

VENEZUELA GREW TIRED OF
GOVERNMENT OF CASTRO.
Fall Brought About by Necessity for
Averting Revolution, Says
Envoy to France.
PARIS. Jan. 10. Jose de J. Paul, spe
cial Envoy of Venezuela, arrived here
this evening from Bordeaux, and was
warmly greeted by a score of Vene
zuelans. M. Paul declared Castro's downfall was
the result of a conflict between the coun
try's ambition to carry on peaceful In
ternal and foreign policies and the poli
cies of Castro, which were rapidly
Jeopardizing Venezuelan independence.
"What was the real cause of Castro's
fall?" M. Paul was asked.
"It was brought about," replied the
Envoy, "by the necessity of averting a
revolution. It must be remembered that
Holland practically abrogated the proto
col of 1S4. whereby , she had undertaken
to prohibit traffic In arms and prevent
filibustering expeditions and revolutionary
outbreaks. Having thus abrogated the
treaty, the presence of Holland's war
ships would have rendered us Impotent
to stop filibustering."
"Castro's present standing in Vene
zuela," M. Paul said, "is that of a man
opposed to his country's aspirations.
Venezuelans are weary of one man's dom
ination." M. Paul ex-pects to open negotiations
wKh the French government within a few

Gospel of Big Boost.
BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 10. (Special.)
Boston knows where Portland, Oregon, is
now, if it has never known before. Dr.
J. Whltcomb Brougher, of the Walte
Temple, Portland, has been in Boston
the past week arousing interest In the
West. That he has succeeded is evi
denced by the" crowds that have flocked
to hear him at Tremont Temple.
At the service this morning 1200 peo
ple stood pledging themselves to per
sonal work In the Chapman revival cam
paign, soon to be inaugurated in this
city. A prominent deacon of the Temple
said:
"Tremont Temple has neyer been so
aroused by any man since the days when
Dr. Lo rimer was at the height of his
success."
Another declared the demonstration to
night was greater than anything seen
during the Gypsy Smith meetings in the
Temple.
The young preacher from the West
swept the Temple people off their feet
and as soon as they catch their breath
it Is understood that a determined effort
will be made to get Dr. Brougher to
come to Boston, although he has thus
far declined to give the oommlttee any
encouragement in that direction.
Dr. Brougher has been Interviewed by
the newspapers and his stories of the
West and Portland particularly have
been given large circulation. He has ad
dressed the Boston Baptist Preachers.

G0MPERS CRIES INJUSTICE
Says Not Even Judge's Sentence Can
Put Stigma Upon Him.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 10. Concerning the
recent sentence of himself and other offi
cials of the American Federation of La
bor. Samuel Gompera today said to the
local federation :
"The granting of the injunction and
the sentence imposed by Judge Wright
were grossly unjust. Not even a Judge
nor his sentence can put a Btlgma upon
my colleagues nor myself, nor make
criminals of us. The injustice of it is
shown by the fact that the very things
we are forbidden to do, every other citi
zen has the right to do end it is this
that we are 'protesting against."
