Boston, March 28. -An appeal to. the

against the Taft delegates, was sent out
tonight by the negro men's league of

urges the support by negro voters of

For the past month a band of faith

the La Follette Republican club is a
man who for many years was the right
bower of La Follette in his battles in
Wisconsin. This man. then the leader
of the La Follette forces in Wisconsin,
has' since taken up his. residence in

Wyoming .Miners Killed
While Trying to Rescue

Long Ust of Dead From
Fire-Damp Explosion.

Hanna, Wyo., March 28. While
a rescuing party of 60 daring miners
were taking out the bodies of Robert
Warbtirton, James Knox, Gus Rai
mey and Peter Munson, at 10:30
o'clock tonight, a terrific explosion
occurred In the shaft of mine No. 1,
completely burying the rescuers. It
Is feared all are dead.
It will be many hours before the
rescuers who arrived late tonight
from neighboring towns, can reach
the entombed relief party. But un
less they are reached soon, all will
be killed by after-damp, If they sur
vived the explosion, whfch was even
more terrific than the first one which
killed 20 men.
The lives of 20 men were sacrificed
this afternoon when an explosion of gas
and dust in the No. 1 mine of the Union
Pacifio Coal company completely
wrecked the workings, shattered the
ttrmles and outside buildings, rocked
dwellings and business houses In town.
But for the fact that this was an idle
day in the mines the loss of life wauld
have been much greater. The men who
are buried deep in the bowels of the
earth, and among those who
burned to death by the fire now raging
in the workings, if they were not killed
