FKJM ERO, Colo.. Fpb. 1. 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

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.

M'LACHL.W" EXPLAINS DEAL
Jf Any Law Violation,- It Was Before
He Itought Claim.
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.

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

"She does that every day." said
Archie Lrew superintendent of the

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.
