SAVED BY WIRELESS
Cal) of Sinking Steamer Heard
and Quickly Answered.
STEAMSHIP KENTUCKY IS LOST
Captain and Craw o f 46 Man Saved
by Steamer Which Picked Up
Call for Help.
New York, Feb. 5.— Once more the
wireleaB haa averted diaaeter, for the
“ S. O. S .” signal of diatresa, quickly
flashing through the ether, this morn­
ing summoned help to a sinking steam­
er and tonight Captain Moon and his
crew of 46 men are safe on board the
Mallory liner Alamo, while their ves­
sel, the steamer Kentucky is at the
bottom o f the Bea off Cape Hatterae.
It is another case of disaster averted
by wireless and told to the world by
the same medium.
The Kentucky, a wooden vessel of
996 gross tonnage and 203 feet long,
was bound from New York to the Pa­
cific coast for use between Seattle and
Alaska ports for the Alaska-Pacific
Steamship compny.
First news o f the Kentucky’s dis­
tress was received at the United W ire­
less company’ s station at Cape Hat-
teras at 11:30 o’clock this morning.
There the operator heard the “ S. O.
S .” and quickly followed by this mes­
sage:
“ We are Binking.
Our latitude it
23:10; longitude 76:30.“
Almost simultaneously the operator
heard the steamship Alamo respond to
the Kentucky’s call for help, informing
Captain Moore that the Alamo was
making all speed to the sinking ves­
sel’s assistance.
Thereafter no message was received
from the Kentucky, indicating that
water had interferred with the power,
puttiny her wireless apparatus out of
commission.
The navy department at Washington
in the meantime flashed wireless mes­
sages along the Atlantic coast, dis­
patching the battleship Louisiana,
which was on a 24-hour Bpeed trial
cruise, and two revenue cutters, the
Yamacraw and Seminole, to the scene,
but at 5 o'clock word came from the
Alamo that she had arrived first and
had taken off all hands in safety.
This is the message as received in
New York by the United Wireless
company from its Cape Hatteras sta­
tion:
“ Latitude 32:46; longitude 76:28—
Steamship Alamo has just taken Cap­
tain Moore and crew of 46 men from
the sinking Kentucky. Water had al­
ready reached the fire room and the
steamer w ill sink before midnigt. The

CEREAL T R U S T FORMING.
Twelve Biggeet Breakfaet Food Mak­
ers May Combine.
Chicago, Feb. 2.— The hungry pub­
lic, turning from prohibitive meat and
other foodstuffs to cereals, is apparent­
ly in for another hard shock, as there
is every indication that a great com­
bine in cereals is on the verge o f com­
pletion to be followed immediately by
a general boost in prices. Snowballs
and sand seem about the only things
le ft that cannot be cornered.
Advices from Minneapolis today and
tonight are ta the effect that a great
holding company is forming to take
over several o f the largest cereal fac­
tories in the United State— in short, to
form a trust in breakfast foods. Ac­
cording to these reports, these com­
panies probably would be in the com­
bine:
Northwestern Cereal corporation.
Minneapolis Cereal & M illing C a
Fruen Wheat Food & M illing Co.
Minne-Paul Cereal & M illing Co.
Malta Vita Food Co., Battle Creek.
Pettijohn Pure Food Co.
A ll Iowa plants of the United Cereal
Co.
I t is further declared that in addi­
tion to these concerns, seven white
flour mills in the territory adjacent tu
Minneapolis would be in the merger
and that there was a possibility that
two o f the large baking concerns of
Minneapolis also would be included.
Thomas W. Hicks, o f the National
Financing Company, said today:
"T h ere 12 cereal-producing firms in
this country, where one holding com­
pany could handle the entire output.
W e seek at present to combine these
12 firms and avoid the throat-cutting
which baa been going on for years and
which has caused many failures. For
instance, Battle Creek, Mich., which
has been the center o f cereal-produc­
ing, has been the victim o f 42 failures
in three years.
“ The way things are going at pres­
ent, the cereal output is a losing prop­
osition for the food companies. It is a
continual fight for contracts and the
result is that the jobber is the only one
who makes the big money.
LUM BER PR IC E 8 ADVANCE.
Demand by Railroads Given as Cause
o f Rise.
Los Angeles, Feb. 2.— Rough Ore­
gon pine lumber haB advanced $1, to
$22 and $26 a thousand feet. Shingles
have advanced 25 cents, to $2.26 and
$3 a thousand. Shakes are up, $2, to
$20 a thousand.
“ The reason for the advance in
rough Oregon pine,” said J. F. Mifllin,
o f the Montgomery & Mullin Lumber
company, today, “ is the heavy demand
o f the railroad companies for this lum­
ber. Not only in the United States is
the demand heavy, but it extends to
China, where they are doing an im­
mense amount o f railroad building.
“ The railroads use so much lumber
that they practically make the market
When there is a great amount of
railroad building the price of lum­
ber goes up.
“ The outlook for the lumber busi­
ness is higher prices. There has been

Washington, Feb. 6.— Ten submar­
ines a year for the next five years is
the program of naval copstructian for
the Pacific Coast defenses that has
been prepared by the members of con­
gress from the states o f the Pacific
Coast.
This w ill be insistd upon strongly at
an early date before the house commit­
tee on naval affairs.
Delegations from Oregon, Washing­
ton and California have organized to
press this
claim.
Representatives
Hayes, o f California; Ellis, of Ore­
gon, and Humphrey, o f Washington,
were appointed by the Pacific Coast
delegation to lay their plans before
the naval committee.
Mr. Hayes
strengthened his position in bis argu­
ment by quoting from the report of the
naval board o f strategy and other gov­
ernment documents.
“ The Pacific Coast is in a defense­
less condition,” declared Representa­
tive Hayes. “ In San Francisco Bay
the current is so strong that it is next
to impossible to protect the entrance
to the harbor with mines.”
Three M ore Bodies Found.
Marshfield, Or., Feb. 2.— Three more
bodies of the Czarina wreck victims
were found today. One was near the
mouth o f the Umpqua river, a second
at Ten-Mile creek and the third oppo­
site the wreck.
The bodies are not
yet identified. This makes nine bodies
that have been found. I t was thought
by some that the headless body found
several days ago was that of Harold
Millis, but the father, C. J. Millie,
could not identify it, and the remains
were buried as an unknown.
A
watch is kept for more bodies.
Cherry Mine is Opened.
Cherry, 111., Feb. 2.— Work was re­
sumed in the St. Paul mine tonight by
scores o f men, following the removal
today of the hermetic seal that had
kept the subterreanean passages closed
for two months. Efforts w ill be made
to clear the mine o f noxious vapors, to

CIGARETTE GETS 68
Mexican Mine Explosion Caused
by Violation of Rules
MINER HAD TO HAVE A SMOKE
Forty Injured are In Hospitals— Many
Escaped Because Foul Air Qould
Not Reach Them.
Laredo, Texas, Feb. 3.— One o f the
greatest disasters in the history of
Mexico mining tdbk place today in the
Palau coal mine, at Las Esperanzas,
Mexico.
The toll of human life which paid
the penalty o f negligence on the part
o f some miner, according to the latest
reports, is placed at 68. A fte r an offi­
cial report showing 53 dead, twelve ad­
ditional bodies were recovered, bring­
ing the total to 65, and three others
have died in the hospital, making the
grand total o f victims thus far 68.
The explosion occurred in No. 3 shaft
of the coal mine o f the Esperanzas
Mining company and is attributed to
the ignition o f gas from the flame of
the cigarette of a miner.
Smoking is
contrary to the rules.
The miners, mostly Mexicans and
Japanese, had assumed their places
just after 7 o’ clock.
A t 8:30 o ’clock
those at work above the ground heard
a loud explosion and almost instantly a
vast cloud o f dust and smoke issued
from the mouth of the mine. When
the onlookers realized the meaning of
the disaster, assistance was immedi­
ately forthcoming.
As soon bs the air in the shaft could
be purified sufficiently to permit res­
cuers to descend, many volunteers were
ready to risk their liveB in an elevator
to succor their stricken brothers below.
Cages were sent down, loaded to
capacity with miners bent upon rescue.
On the first and second levels every-
theng was found intact and the mpn
working in these places were safe. The
rescue party went down to the third
level and as soon ns the air could be
sufficiently cleared they entered the
drifts and began a search for the dead
and injured. Scattered about in vari­
ous positions in the workings they
found the bodies o f the men suffocated.
The rescures worked in relays. A f ­
ter six hours’ work 53 bodies had been
removed to hospitals. The injured owe
their escape to the fact that they were
working where they were protected
from the rush o f foul air.
State rep­
resentatives sent a detailed report o f
the explosion and a deduction as to the
probable cause to the governors of
Coahuila and Saltillo. They instructed
the local authorities to take such ac­
tion as they deemed necessary and to
investigate thoroughly the cause o f the
disaster.
The Palau mine is one o f the best
equipped coal mines in the Republic.
It has an adequate ventilating system
and is provided with electric lights.
Mining officials are at a loss to account
for the presence o f mine damp in the
workings.
P L A N T O RULE CUBA.
Negro
Party Could Win Everything
If Held Together.
Havana, Feb. 1.— Organization q f a
distinct negro party, with the $wo\4ajl
intention of obtaining control or the
Cuban government, is being agitated
through the republic— and the move­
ment has become menacing from the
viewpoint o f the whites. This issue
haa been brought to public notice re­
cently by race conflicts upon the hotel
question, and the numerical strength
o f the negroes, united, gives it portent
Provision, the organ of $he Partido
Independents de Color — Independent
Party of Color— prints the newly con­
structed platform o f the party, which
contains these significant provisions:
“ The Independent Party of Color
shall be organized throughout the
whole republic with a national charac­
ter, to maintain its equilibrium toward
all Cuban interests.
“ The republic o f equality’ sovereign
and independent, without raee discrim­
inations or social aptggonismB, shall
get our supporL”
To what extent promoters of the
new movement may be successful re­
mains to be seen, but there can be no
doubt that, i f the organization of the
negro race as a political party ever
should be effected, it would rule the
republic.
The importance of the congressional
elections in July can hardly be over­
estimated. I t is not so much a ques­
tion of which party shall return the
greater number o f candidates, as
whether the independent republic, un­
aided by American supervision, shall
prove itself competent to conduct an
absolutely fa ir and peaceable election.
President Gomez’ appointment of
Senator Manuel Sanguilly as secretary
o f state ends the long suspense regard­
ing that important office. It is .signi­
ficant that the president should have
gone out o f the ranks o f all political
parties to select Sanguilly, Who ever
has been an independent of the inde­
pendents.
The senator lived in Harlem in the
warof the revolution and returned to
Cuba under the first intervention, busy­
ing himself at once with
protests
against the interference of the United
States in affairs o f Cuba.
He is the
author of several unsuccessful bills to
restrict the immigration o f foreigners

Service Requires Impression of Digit
Instead o f Crossmark..
Chemawa, Or., Feb. 1.— Orders have
been issued to the agents in the field
of the Indian service to require thumb-
mark signatures by Indians who are
not able to write.
Thumb-mark signatures are now re*
quired on all checks, receipts and other
official papers, which were formerly
signed by a cross-mark by Indians and
others. The impression is to be made
with the right thumb placed after the
names instead o f the crossmarrk as be­
fore. The thumb-mark is then wit­
nessed to make the identification cer­
tain and thus be an infallible method of
identification in case o f dispute or at­
tempted fraud.
This was first done in the Indian ser­
vice in 1905, when the system was
adopted as evidence o f the authenticity
of written agreements wjth Indians,
