FRANKLIN. O., Nor, 28. A 60-ton rotary In the Upton Paper Mill here
exploded this morning and created great havoc. The plant was completely
wrecked, one man was killed and four others severely Injured. Pprtlons of the
machinery were blown clear through four brick walls and landed 0 feet away.
The explosion was heard for miles and great excitement followed the blast.
The mill was In operation and there was nothing unusuaj. Suddenly the
whole bottom floor was lifted upward and a frightful explosion sent scalding
vapors and Iron splinters hurling in every direction. There was an Instantane
ous dash for safety by the Inmates and all escaped but the five mentioned

WILKES BAR RE, Pa.Nov. 28.
The mlneworkers In this section are-,
highly pleased with the refusal of
the operators to settle the question
of hours of labor outside of the
commission. They are confident
they can now carry the matter be
fore the commission and gain a
nine-hour day In spite of the ob
jection, as well as more than a
10 per cent Increase In wages. The
miners are more certain of win
ning than they have ever been
before, because they allege that
the operators acknowledged their
right to shorter hours and better
pay and the commissioners cannot
fall to view It In this light.
BCRANTON, Nov. 26. A conference that
was looked upon as secondary.leaped sud

Mine Workers at Washington. Never was
a greater surprise sprung. The coal trou
ble was looked upon as settled and from
the conference between Mitchell, repre
senting the workmen, pn the one side,
and MacVeagh standing for the eoal in
terests on-the otnwv had already gone
forth the announcement that everything
had been arranged to the general satis
faction of all.
Then came the blow that set all labors
at naught. Declaring that, at the very
most, the commission could not award
the miners more than they would give
them by concessions made now, and stand
ing firmly on the declaration that they
were In position to disprove the testimony
already offered, the independent opera
tors said: "We have signed an agree
ment that we will be governed by the
decision of the arbitration commission,
and to nothing else will we give heed.
We demand that the hearing be resumed
and that the matter be carried through
to a final settlement. We do not pro
pose to give way to a maudlin public
jejoUment tJlfl.t.wJll . ba, short lived. The
commission must speak."
Attorney MacVeagh, representing the
coal road Interests and who was the
originator of the peace conference idea,
was greatly surprised when the an-
pendent operators "had Torced abandon
ment of his plan. He and Mitchell had
-tulked over,tb terms of the agreement
and had finally decided that there would
be no trouble in effecting final settle
ment at the general conference on Fri
day. It was when things had reached
this stage a message was received from
New York to the effect that the opera
tors could grant no meeting, because any

"We believe that such a settlement at
this time, and upon- the basis suggested,

the United Mine Workers.
"That such settlement would be, in the
eyes of the public, a eonresslon that we

offenses charged against us by the said
mine workers.
"That we have and believe that you
have such a perfect and complete defense

Lack of Funds Will Prevent Action by the
City Authorities Till the New
Charter Comes in Force.
J W Bailey, State Food Commissioner, Admits That the
Milk Being Sold in Pprtland Is Unfit for Infant's
Food Inspectors, He Says Would Be
Useless-His Curious Stand,
"I believe that the creation of
meat and milk Inspectors offices
would not only be great benefits to
the hygiene of the city, but would
add that to Portland which other
cities enjoy."
Such was the expression Mayor
Williams , made . wJien . efced-Mr,
opinion relative to the lax condition'
of affairs which allowed infected
meat and Impure and adulterated
milk to be sold to a public that has
no means of protection.
The mayor continued by saying: "Of
course such departments, or officers, of
the city government are not only desira
ble, but necessary, when It is taken into
consideration the amount pf Infected food
one is compelled to purchase simply be
cause one does not know. However,"
continued the mayor, "the city Is now
without money and until the new charter
is adopted next Januar I hardly believe
it possible to provide for the salaries of
meat and milk inspectors. When the new
law for the city is in force, funds suffi
cient for such needs will be available."
" The chief executive discussed the mat-'
ter pro and con and concluded by reiterat
ing his statement that he believed In any
measure that would insure protection
against disease.

sentiment, expressed Uy thousands who
have followed the Important wubject since
The Journal exposed the frightful condi
tion into which the meat and milk supply
of the city has fallen.
"But what Is a person to do about It?"
said a prominent hoteikeeper this morning.
"I buy meat and believe it to be good. I
pay the highest price in the market, and
then some one tells me that the roast he
ate was not just right In taste. I'm no
meat Inspector, but 1 sincerely hope that
the city will bring about some measure
that will bring these fraudulent, -yes, and
ynu might say criminal, dealers to pun
ishment, who foist upon the public car
casses of animals they know have died
of some disease and were not killed for
the market as the law demands."
STARTLING JOBBERY.
A startling piece of Jobbery was brought
to light at the City Hall today when F.
W. Mulkey's (late councilman) milk and
meat ordinances were examined.
So late as last May Mr. Mulkey had
framed two ordinances which, if passed,
would have created both a milk inspector
and a meat Inspector. The meat ordi
nance was vetoed by ex-Mayor Rowe, and
thereby hangs a tale.
In his veto message Mayor Rowe said
that the meat ordinance contained blanks
that depended on the passage of the miik
ordinance then pending before the coun
cil. He also said that the meat ordinance,
if passed, would serve to create a mon
opoly In the trade of the comniodlty.
'As a matterlf ract the. -millc. ordinance
was "laid over' uie same evening. June 18,
that the meat ordinance passed. The milk
ordinance was referred to the health and

police committee, and there it lies today,
ready for its third reading.
And here to how It all came about:
PRESSURE KILLED ORDINANCES.
Pressure was brought to bear upon the
maybr by certain men to have the meat
prdlnjwei killed, a u would -destroy too
much of the meat that they were selling
month after month. Strong Influence was
also brought uppn the niayor by dnlry
men to have 'the milk ordinance killed.
The latter measure was laid over and
the meat Ordinance passed Its third read
ing, was vetoed, and there you are.
During the discussion of these meas
ures delegation after delegation Invaded
the mayor's office protesting against fav
oring the bills, and every man so pro
testing was a commission man. a butcher,
a dairyman or some person Interested In
handling products covered by the ordi
nances. 1 '
MULKEY TELLS HOW.
In speaking of the history of the cases
when before the Common Council last
spring, Mr. Mulkey said this afternoon:
"I framed the bjlls after, those in oper
'atTo'n'lh other cities and not a flaw could
bo found In them. The meat ordinance
did not hang on the milk ordinance, and
would be a valid law; had the mayor not
vetoed It The open'cluuBes.wpuld hte.
in carefully perusing the bills still on
nie In th.i City Hull, it was found that
stringent measures were enacted for the
protection against 11m very evils the city
is suffering from today. A fee was to
be required from each dealer, Which
would not alon.. announce that he was
selling pure Inspected product but, on
the other hand, the fee was so scaled
that the aggregate would pay the sala
ries of the Inspectors and their deputies.
The milk ordinance Is still alive and in
the hands of the present committee on
health and police.
Bailey Tries to
Explain Hatters
J. W. Bailey, the state dairy and food
commissioner, visited The Journal office
this morning to express his "views.
About the tlrst question that distressed
the ingenuous soul of Mr. Bailey ran as
follows:
"Why was It Jht you prohibited the
owner of these uKieased cows- from ship
ping milk to a dairy in this city and-etlll
allowed him to smU this milk to a cheese
factory . owned by your friend, Mr.
Campbell?"
"Ml.. Canipb! is .no- friend of mine;'
jsald .thc . fouU tijmisaioner. "I, -would,
arrest him as quick as I would anyone
else."
"But whv dkl you allow this milk to

Whose words were weighed In every
mind, 1

be used by him when you refused to let
the dairy handle It?"
HE PAWED THE Alii.
Mr. Bailey beat the air with an extend
ed forefinger until he-could think up a
proper answer. Then as' ir brilliant Idea
Seized him he slapped the reporter on
the knee. "I didn't know Mr. Campbell
was making cheese with this milk," said
he.
"Councilman Mulkey introduced an
ordinance at the last Council meeting
providing for the appointment of a meat
inspector and a milk Inspector. It ta
said that these bills were opposed by
you. Is this so?"
"I never opposed the ordinance," said
Mr. Bailey.
In another minute he was explaining
that he had opposed the appointment of
a meat inspector because it would create
a; monopoly. Just how the ubiquitous
octopus would appear In this connection
was not made clear; but Mr. Bailey 'was
quite .certain that a monopoly would be
created If the meat were Jjispected -
He concluded by once more making the
statement that he had never opposed the
bill.
"How about the milk Inspector? Did
you oppose the appointment uf. simh
osm-mr '- '--''' -
"He couldn't do any good."
"Couldn't he inspect the milk sold In
this city?"
The cows are mostly outside the city,"
as the Intelligent reply. "It would be
all right If I appointed the deputies to
do the work."
BAILEY IS NON-COMMITTAL.
"Would you favor the appointment of
a milk Inspector for this city?"
Mr. Bailey was resolved to not answer
this question. "Why don't the people
make complaints to me? Why don't the
physicians complain that this milk Is
causing tuberculosis?"
The reporter became brutally frank.
"The physicians that nave expressed
themselves to us," said he, "do not seem
to have much confidence in you."
This grievous news caused Mr. Bailey
much pain. He shifted around In his
chair and spent the next few moments in
silent gesticulation.
"I never opposed their bill about the
Inspectors." he finally ejaculated. "This
tuberculosis business don't amount to
anything. The disease is not transmis
sible to man."
"Do you claim that milk from a dis
eased cow would be good food?"
"Why. people drink it in Portland every
day nad get fat on It," announced Mr.
Bailey. In a cheerful voice. "
"Would you like to feed It to your
children?"
J". UrotoUtftr" said lhw.pu fsed
thuslasi, and then as the reporter stated
that he was gfaa to have" such "bold state-"
fnents on record, the dairy commissioner
modified his reply. "1 wouldn't feed It
to a blby; no. sir. not to a baby."
They clamor for the legs that one
Were wont to do athletic stunts;
And ask for slices off the chest

PARIS, Nov. 26. The Gore funeraltbTa.
afternoon was made an occasion for an
American demonstration. Never before
in the history of, .Tt'l- -have so many
Americans gathered for the purpose of
paying their respects to a dead com
patriot. Although there were no notable
persons present, nearly the entire for

the American church waa thronged. A
perfect bower of the most beautiful and
expensive flowers . covered the casket of
the unfortunate singer. The services
were simple. Mrs. Gore had been a prime
favorite with all who knew her, and
many tears were shed.
American Consul Gowdy was repre
sented at the services by M. Hacquot,
who also acted In behalf of the family
of the dead woman. Although free, Ryd

cused of having murdered Mrs. Gore, was
not present. He is still In seclusion.
ANOTHER MYSTERY.

Gowdy has received a letter from M. El

declares will throw much light on the
