March 1 (AP) The house of Carrington was to day a house, divided against itself. divided in a dramatic fashion by a midnight passase at arms with walking sticks, one a dapper ma laeca and the other a sinister smtnding staff of snakewood.

But ..his brother, Campbell Car rington wealthy New Yorker, confined to a hospital with lacera tions on the face, said it wa no duel at all, but that he had been struck down from behind "by a crayen blow". He added thit as soon, as he got out of the hospital he would take steps to have "the so-called colonel" confined for ob servation as to his mental condi tion. I The duel, or attack, took place last night near the 17th street home of Colonel Carrington's wife, in front of which the colonel had been watching and from which his brother emerged. Colonel Car rington. who is 55 years old, has a $1,000,000 alienation of affec tions suit pending against his brother, who is 52, and cross auits for divorce between the co!onel and his wife are also on the calen dar for trial in Chicago. When police were notified by hospital authorities of the younger brother's condition, they rpies tioned him,, and .then. arrested. the colonel, who acquired his title as a member of the staff of Governor Goldsborough of Maryland in 1911. The colonel, a large man with a manner of speech reminiscent of the days when dueling was more common than now, snowed no re luctance in talking about the mat ter at headquarters. - , He said he came to New York to get evidence against his wife and brother and last night watched until the brother ""Came out of Mrs. Carrington's house. "Are you looking fbrmefj the colonel said his brother asked him. "His manner, gentlemen, was most insulting. He had a pane. Q did I. He rushed at me and swung his cane. I, swung mine. We were almost exchanging sword thrusts. In a moment he was disarmed, but in disarming, him and even before that, my cane had come sharply in contact with . his face. Suddenly blood streamed from his head and he fled. ,F , "I'm on my, feet, my brother is In the hospital;- that, gentlemen, may indicate who won the con flict." Campbell Carrington was no more reticent atfout the fray, , He retained Max D.;Steuer as, counsel and through him 4ssued a long statement concerning the attack and his plana for having the col onel committed to an institution. He said he had gone to Mrs; CaT rington'3 home merely to congrat ulate ber on becoming a grand mother, and this was corroborated by Mrs. Carrington. . j ..i ' 1 'i PITTSBURGH HAS STRIKE 4?arly Spring Building Program of City Partly Tied Up PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 1.

DISASTER HITS BRITISH liS m PLAGES Wales and liottmghamshire Sfceries of Two Tragedies . oh Same Day DEATHS MAY NUMBER 65 Explosion in Marine Colliery of AWImU Workings Kills With 2 Missing; Water Piping Breaks LONDON, March 1 CAP) Great Britain's mining industry today was stricken by two disas ters one in .Wales and the other in Nottinghamshire, England, with a death toll that was feared would reach 65. The WelBh disaster took place In a mine situated near Cwm, a small town that lies in the shadow of the so-calledi moving mountain, Domen Faws, which only last year caused a nearby, river-to shift its course and flood the town and many miners homes. An explosion early this morning in the marine colliery of one of the largest pits of the Ebbwvale com pany 1700 men, caused deaths that are known to number 23, with 28 men missing. Most of the latter are believed to be trapped by. a wall of flames, and hope for them has virtually leen aban doned. There were 120 operators work ing when the explosion occurred. Most of them .were able to reach the surfaceHbut the others were so far, underground that escape Vas impossible. . Albert Button, a 22 year old miner, was among those who had safety within hi grasp, but when he heard that his broth er was entombed he turned, back, ana perisned In an attempt to save him,.. . Poisonous fumes drove rescue parties back, repeatedly,, while the constant collapse, of sections . of roofing added to the almost nn surmountable hazards which awaited them. Tonight a last at tempt was being made to reach the , entombed victims from an other shaft of the pit, but hopes for the safety of the 28 missing men was most slender. .. , The disaster, oming : on, the Welsh day, St. David's Bay, was one. of the worst the ;Welsh, have known In recent , years , and the whole country was plunged in gloom. , , ... The other disaster, which took place, near Mansfield. . about two hours after the Cwm explosion, is believed certain to have taken the lives of , J 4 men. It occurred id a new pit of the Bilsthorne. colliery when a, cage, descending with eight miners, was struck by, 100 . tons of water pip ing which .eollapsed. ,, The. wreck age put the, pit pumps out of ac tion and, sent the cage crashing 280 yards to the bottom of the shaft where nine men were work ing. A party of miners at a dance in the neighboring village of Ollerton rushed to the rescue but was able to , save only three of the; men, Hope was abandoned for the other as, water .began pouring-,-into the shaft at the rate of 60,000 gallons an hour. . ' King George. Queen Mary and many public bodies have sent messages of condolence on the two disasters. PbSTALS CAUSE ARREST Astoria Physician Jlrld Because of Sending Out Cards . PORTLAND, March .1.
