Seventy nlno bodies of the victims of yesterday afternoon's explosion In the Primero mino were found piled in a mass at the foot of the airshaft shortly after mid night. When the explosion occurred the men evidently made a rush to escape through the airshaft and were suffo cated as they battled with one- another for freedom. It has been shown by the timekeep er's records that there wore 149 -men in the mine at the time of the ex plosion. Few are thought to be alive. The main shaft of the mine is com pletely wrecked. One Man Found Alive. The mine authorities telegraphed an order to Denver early this morning for KO coffins. One man only has been found alive. He is badly injured and lias not been identified. The explosion occurred in the mine of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Three men at the mouth of the x mine were killed Ijy the force of the con cussion. Both fans with which the mine ws equipped were shattered, but were re placed and J. H. Thompson, superin tendent, and a rescue party entered by the main air shaft, but were unable to reach the main shaft, wh ich was com pletely blocked. The party returned to the surface after securing five bodies, which were badly burned. A party equipped with oxygen hel mets replaced them and continued the earch for more bodies. Miners were rushed to Primero from Trinidad, Haundo, iStarkville, Sopris and Coke ville and labored frantically to clear the main shaft, .relieving each other every few minutes. Most of the victims' are Slavs and Hungarians, although -Electrician Will Jielni is known to be among the miss ing. Scenes at Camp Horrify 'The camp was a scene of indescrib able horror last night. While every ablebodied man was taking his turn with pick and shovel to clear the shaft, the women and children, kept back by ropes, gathered about the shaft, weep ing and calling loudly upon their loved ones who had not been found. Experts from all the coal camps of the state gathered to assist Super in -tendent Thompson., A. C. French, su perintendent of the Woolen Mines, and J. F. Minley, mine inspector. headed tli second rescue party as soon as bat teries for electric light arri-ed by spe cial train. Members of the rescue party say that the effect of the explosion under ground is Indiscribable. The bodies recovered were horribly burned and unrecognizable. One body was Im paled on broken timbers.

WASHINGTON, Ft-b. 1. Explaining Jils connection with Alaskan claims, as brought out in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation. Representative McLach lan, California, Monday mentioned Gov ernor Gillett and Representatives Knowland. and McKinley, of California, as being Interested In the proposition with himself, and Representative Kin kaid. Nebraska, and a number of others. ALr. McLachlan declared the proposi tion wiia entirely fair and ethical. A dozen or more men of prominence were in teres ted in what was known as t be 'Green group," he said. He did not re call the names of all h is associates. Speaking of the Green claims. Air. Mc lachlan said: lf there has been any violation of law in this matter, I a.m not aware of it. I went into the proposition two or three years ago, at the suggestion of llr. Green, and have paid out, so far, about $4000 in surveying and develop ing my claim. The land was taken up In the ordinary manner of filing on mineral lands. "In the beginning I purchased the right of the origina t en try man, and I do not know anything a' out the man ner in which his filing was made. If there was anything wrong with it, it occurred before I went Into it. I don't remember the name of the man from whom I bought the filing right. "I have not yet applied for a patent from t he Government, because I have been busy with the development work. We have found coal on the land, but I ilo not know how much. A magazine article Just published says my claim is worth S 1,900.000, but if I can get my $4000 out of it I will be glad. In fact 1 .would sell out for less than the amount I put into It. "The law provides that the Army and - Navy can have all the coal they want from our claim, at a price to be fixed by the Government. If our claims are sold to a trust or monopoly, the whole property reverts under the law to the Government. "Not more than 160 acres can be held oua neraoxu and. tliaL 1 the amount mn XPLDSION of my claim. The law provides also that there can be no consolidation of claims aggregating more than 2500 acres. The group represented by Gov ernor Gillett and myself is within that limit." Representative Knowland, when seen later, denied absolutely that he had a claim in Alaska of any kind. Repre sentative McKinle-y is absent from Washington. Representative Kink aid, of Nebraska, wno is interested with Mr. McLachlan In the Alaskan coa lands and whose name also- was brought into the Ballinger-Pinchot hearing, said: "I own one of the coal claims of 160 acres in Alaska. I bought this in the Summer of 1908, and I was at that time In Nebraska. I employed Mr. Ballin ger, now Secretary of the Interior, but then engaged in private practice, to look after my interests. The matter was strictly a business proposition and there was no impropriety about It." Mr. Kinkaid declined to say from whom lie bought the claim or whether it was one. of the Green group. GILLETT PAYS $4090 FOU LAND Claims Owned by California. Gover nor Are Xeur Cunningham's. SACRAMENTO Cal.. Jan. 31. In ex planation of the statement made in Washington today by Representative McLach lan of California. Governor Charles E. Gillett told today of his purchase of Alaska coal lands near the Cunningham group. ' Three or four years ago," he said, "I purchased through a man named Green 160 acres for myself and 120 acres for my wife, the claims being 10 miles from the Cunningham group. Those claims have cost me $4000 each. They are In anthracite coal', while the Cunningham group is bituminous coal. "Sometime ago we, with several others, grouped our lands and formed a company, naming it the Alaskan Smokeless Anthracite Company- And I still own the claims." ZELAYA RENEWS PLAINT EX-DICTATOR SAXS UNCLE SAM TRICKED HIM. United States Ieelared to Have "De termined Rebels Should "Win and Given Them Aid. MEXICO CITY, , Feb. 1. In a state ment given to a personal friend for publi cation after hi departure from this city, Jose Santos Zelaya, ex-president of. Nic aragua, who left Sunday night for Bel gium, ir.ade the startling statement that he was tricked by the t'nited States into giving the revolutionists an advantage during the early stages of the insurrec tion. He said: "Our army had defeated the revolution ists on the San Juan River and was marching on Bluefields. The revolt would have ended in a week, when suddenly the United States asked us to declare a truce, while peace terms could be dis cussed. The truce was declared and be fore operations were resumed the insurg ents received a large shipment of arms ammunition from the T'nited States. After that followed the battle of Rama, in which the government army was de feated. We were tricked and played like figures In a game of chess by the power ful Influences at Washington, until the advantage was given over to the other side, just as Washington had played. "The American Government is still de termined that the insurgents shall win, but Its pretense of neutrality, while arms and men came down on every boat from the t'nited States. prevents an open avowal and the saving of thousands of innocent lives." Zelaya made a specific denial of each of the charges made by Secretary Knox In his letter of dismissal to Charge d'Affaires Rodriguez, and continued: ''Several Central American countries, notably Guatemala and Salvador, ap pealed to Washington against my govern ment, and Washington consented to lend its influence to Estrada and Cabrera to work my downfall for no other reason than that I opposed the desire of Ca brera to become the ruling figure" of all Oentral America." Zelaya declared that the execution of Oroce and Cannon was a "mere Incident.' "The United Slates had previously de cided that I should be overthrown,' he said. "Sparing the lives of Groce and Cannon would not have altered the plan at Washington. The policy of overthrow ing my government- was planned before Groce and Cannon had been heard of as a factor In the situation." As a parting shot, Zelaya said that in the future Nicaragua would probably be ruled by large American corporations, "whick seek monopolies In that country. NATURE REPLACES LIVES SINCE DISASTER 7 4 BABIES HORN IX CHERRY. Mine fo Re Opened Today to See if Bodied or Men Still in Ground Can Be Found. CHERRY", 111., Feb. 1. Seventy-four posthumous children have been born in Cherry since the mine fire broke but on November 31, thus replacing nearly half the residents lost in the fire. The doc tors are having hard work to prevent the sending away of these children. Suppressed excitement prevailed in Cherry Monday night among the relatives and friends of the 180 odd miners who lie dead in the St. Paul mine. Tomorrow it will be known whether the bodies can be brought to the sur face or whether the mine will have to be kept closed. - All arrangements are completed to day for opening the shaft early tomor row. While Inspectors and carpenters were busy with the superstructure a young Italian woman stood in the snow mute and motionless for two hours this afternoon (r-aning on the iron rail about the malnhaft and gazing tenderly at the cement cap that has practically covered her husband's tomb for two months. "She does that every day." said Archie Lrew superintendent of the mine. "She says nothing to anybody and finally goes home. She is Mrs. 1 Catlini, whose husband met death only one month after she married hiin." WRIGHT'S RECORD BROKEN Two Men In 1'arman Biplanes Make Wetter Flights -with Passengers. MOl'RMELOX. Feb. 1.

LOTTERY CAUSES INQUIRY live MUllonsires Summoned to Tell What They Know About Chances on Auto Won Amid Cries ol Fraud Many Debts Lelt. SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. l. (Special.) if. Robert Gugrgrenheim, nephew of Senator Guggenheim, son of Dan iel Guggenheim, youngest cadet of the great family of silver millionaires, will not return to Seattle. So badly tan gled are the young man's affairs that the family will undoubtedly appoint representatives to straighten them out. Debt to local bankers of at least $25,000 and other sums amounting to several thousand more will probably be met by his relatives. Meanwhile young Guggenheim rests under the gloomy possibility of an in dictment of the King County grand jury on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses and of conduct ing a lottery. Millionaires Tell of Iottery. Well authenticated reports have leaked out from the inquisitorolal body's secret chambers th at. these charges preferred by a chauffeur have resulted in the calling of at least five millionaires and one newspaper em ploye to relate to the jurymen their connection with an alleged lottery in which the prize was one of Guggen heiirfs racing cars, an Italia, a $7500 machine, which he purchased last Spring for the special purpose of en tering It in the transcontinental race According to the story, the million aires and lesser lights of Seattle's elite society are in high dudgeon over the result of the so-called lottery. Shortly after the close of the fair, he conceived the idea of a lottery as a means of speeding disposal, and had tickets printed to an amount that would return him $5000 of the purchase price, while the fortunate holder of the lucky number would receive the automobile. On or about the date notice was served on all ticketholders that the "raffle" had taken place and that Clarence H. Jones, of the Seattle Machine & Supply Company, had won the prize. 'Robbery," Cries Klite. , Immediately, so the story goes, in unanimous crescendo, the eiite ticket holders set tip a cry of "Jobbed." "rob bery," and other words to that effect. Their principal objection is that the drawing was a sort of star-chamber af fair, which they were not given . .the privilege of witnessing. About the -tame time M. Robert hur riedly departed, eastward-bound, and is now in New York. "I was not present at the drawing," he said, . "and all I know about it is that I was informed I was the winner and that the car was delivered in due time, with no qualifications or "condi tions attached." said Jones. AMERICAN LOSS HEAVY MEXICO CITY BAXIC FAILURE MAY SEE SENSATIONS. First Legal Action Taken Through Mining Man Mexican Min ister in on Deal? MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1. Sensational developments in connection with the suspension of the United States Bank ing Company, which may include crim inal charges, are expected soon. The first legal action taken by any creditors since the bank closed its doors last Wednesday ' morning was filed Mon day by Harwood H. Simpson, a mining man, who made a formal complaint be fore the Procurator of Justice, alleging abuse of confidence. Simpson names the president, the vice-president, the directors and man agers of the institution. He alleges that some time ago he obtained 919,000 from the bank, giving three notes for the amount, which were secured by the deposit of ISO shares of mining stock, valued at about $100,000. Recently, he says, he went to the bank to pay the notes and receive his mining shares, but the collateral was not forthcoming, and he was told to re turn later, when the shares would be restored to him. Simpson says he learned his shares were no longer-In the possession of the bank, and he infers that they had been hypothecated by the bank to some other institution. The fact that Jose I. Limantour, the Mexican Minister of Finance, offered to make arrangements with the National Bank of Mexico to tide the United States Banking Company over its dif ficulties, just prior "to its suspension, developed Monday. David E. Thompson, ex-Ambassador to Mexico, asserted that Mr. Limantour was willing and anxious, provided tthe bank could procure securities,, to see that It obtained all the required funds, but . the bank was unable to produce acceptable collateral. - In a statement issued to the press to day, Mr. Thompson said that he went to Mr. Limantour In the interests of hundreds of American residents In this city, who would suffer If the institu tion closed. In the same statement Mr. Thompson took occasion to correct an erroneous impression, saying that he was not a stockholder nor a director in the United States Banking Company, having some time ago declined to serve on the board. MAN AND 2 WOMEN KILLED Denver Streetcar Crasbes Into Auto, Skidding on Tracks. DENVER, Feb. 1. James A. Baker, of Atteleboro. Mass., and two women whose Identity is not known, were killed and Russell A. Talbot, of New York,, was fatally injured last night when a trolley car crashed into the automobile in which five persons were riding. Morris Mayer, owner of the machine, who was at the wheel, was stunned but suffered only minor injuries. The machine in which the party was rWing was speeding along South Broad way at a furious rate, running between the streetcar tracks. Cars were approach ing from both directions and in an ef fort to avoid the north-bound car. Mayer tried to cross the track. The machine skidded on the rail &ud .Mayer Ui&tlnct- Ivery set the brake to keep from going over. The southbound car crashed into the machine from the rear, completely demolishing it. Talbot and Baker, with one of the women, were in the back seat. The wom an's head and body were crushed to pulp and Baker suffered a number of bones broken. Both were dead when picked up. Talbot suffered, severe internal in juries and was unconscious when help arrived. The other woman, who was sit ting beside Mayer, wu thrown To the ground, and her skull was crushed. Blanche "Walsla. at Bungalow HE Test" In which Blanche "Walsh Is starring presents to us a story. logical in its telling, and very beautiful in culmination. More than ordinary interest has been manifested in' this play, sfnee it is thy work of Jules Eckert Goodman, a Port lander. The Bungalow was crowded Mon day evening, and a representative audi ence rendered homage' alike to the splen did emotional actress and her vehicle. Mis "Walsh again proves to our com plete satisfaction that her ability amounts to positive genius. Big and fine and wholesome. Is she with an indefinable quality of personality that makes itself felt throughout her work. Even when fihe isn't on the stage, the dominant strength of herself is felt. "The Teet" Is an excellent vehicle for this charming woman, and affords her every opportunity for good work, well done. A brief review of Mr. Goodman's play is of Interest. Ten years prior to the open ing of the play, the action of which con sumes only 24 hours, Emma Eltynge has sold herself to Frederick McVane an un scrupulous man. who bargains to save her lover Tretman, from prison in return. This man fails to keep his bargain, and the lover who has stolen for her in a mistaken idea of her demands, is sen tenced- for ten years. A period of five years elapse. Emma has in this interval come under the in fluence of Arthur Thone, a. wealthy young man, who Is living on the East Side of New York to obtain material for his novels. She bids adieu to her old friends, her old haunts, and the life of reckless despair that has made her somewhat notorious, and when the play opens these two the novelest and Emma are in love with one another. Then the inevitable happens the old lover returns his term in the prison shortened because of good behavior. "White and wan Is he. with the lock step halt in his gait but a' fixed resolve In his heart to wreak vengeance on Mc Vane for swearing him into prison, and also to be revenged upon Emma. Also Into the warp and woof of the plot enters the personality of this McVane, the man who failed to keep his bargain. He is seen in the role of a suitor and a successful one for the hand of the novelist's sister Peggy. This sister is very anxious to break off the attachment existing betwen her brother and Emma. Then it is that Emma offers her sacrlfical bargain. To save Peggy, the sister of the man she loves, from marrying McVane, who betrayed her, Emma will give up the brother if McVane will, in turn, give up Peggy. He refuses, sneeringly, and boastingly and Emma's senses of wrong and , right and justice are aroused. He dares her to tell the story and to his surprise and horror she does tell it all of it more than he had bargained for. She depicted the recital so splendidly that every one In the audience felt the gripping power ol her words. - Not alone could the words mere words have beaten In on one's senses as did the lines of this scene, but with Miss "Walsh to in terpret them, to hurl them at us to fling them in abandon at her hearers, the scene rose to the acme of the drama. It is In this scene, perhaps, that Miss Walsh gives us of her best. She makes the character of Emma Eltynge really alive and convincing. It is In this scene, at the home of Thone's sister, where she has gone to make her sacrificial offer, that Miss Walsh, as Emma, is inspired, magnifi cent If you will. The climax is reached in the last act. Tretman, the man who has been in prison, learns the truth, and incidentally the true char acter of the girl for whom he stolo. He pleads again for Emma's love, but she gives him only scorn. Peggy renounces McVane and he. too, drops out of the action of the story. Thone remains loyal, believing and loving and the girl Responds. Like ships in the night all the old forces of the girl's life pass out of it, and the curtain falls on Emma and Thone in a refreshingly cleared atmosphere.' The supporting company is excellent. As the novelest Thone, George W. Harvard deserves much praise. His delineation is convincing and clean cut. He is Thone through and through. Nicholas Judels gives an excellent bit of character work as Morris Zink, the young suspender vender, who aspires to be a poet. He lends the few flashes of comedy in the story, aided and abetted by C. J. Williams as Herr Brettner, an old Teuton, whose accent is so natural one fancies it must be genuine. Wm. N. Travers is capable as McVane, while Will D. Corbett is good throughout as Tretman, winning outbursts of applause on more than one occasion when his dramatic ability rose to commanding heights. Two other women are in the cast be sides Miss Walsh. Harriet Sterling is Junoesque and charming as Peggy. An actress of generally recognized ability is Katherine Bell, who does a very creditable bit of work as Minna, the granddaughter of Herr Brettner, and Maurice's sweetheart. The play is exceptionally well staged, particularly in the third act, where a room in the home of Arthur Thone is shown a melody of gold and rose and white, with myriads of rose,sand cupids adorning the walls. "The Test" will be seen tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee on Wednesday afternoon. WORLD TOUR IS PLANNED It Jeff Wins "Big Five" Will Take Long Trip.
