Fayette City, Pa., Dec. 3.— Between
26 and 30 miners, poaeibly more, are
entombed In the Naomi mine of the
United Coal company, located three
milee west of this city, and there is
practically no hope that any of them
are alive. The imprisonment is due
to an exploaion of black damp about 8
o’clock Sunday night, soon after tbe
night force went to work.
It is said a miner entering an old
working with an open lamp caused the
exploaion. Had the disaster occurred
on SDy other night than Sunday the
number of victims would have been
twice as large. Tbe mine employed
from 275 to 300 regularly, about cne-
fourth of them muking entry at night,

half the night force goes to work. The
mine is of thehhaft type apd tbe con-'

About 100 feet
from the entrance is located the fiist

found in mines in this territory is so

Reports received lrom J. Frank Ad

that tbe water of the lake is rapidly
falling, and a tremendous whirlpool
has formed just off Scorpion point,
through which the water is passing
with a deafening roar that can be heard
a great distance. Below is apparently
a great channel underground through
which the waters find outlet beneath
the Modoc lavs beds and thence through
the drainage of Fall river to Pitt, and
-finally on to the ocean through the Sac-
ramento and San Francisco bay.
It has loDg been held by geologists
that Tule lake has an undi m ound out

from a gushing spring in Modoc county,
Cal., is the vent. Last spring the lake
water reached a higher level than has

EXCEEDS AUTHORITY
Federal Coort Sets Aside Joint
Rate Order.
RULING IS BY JUDGE HANFORD
Finds That Washington Board ia En
croaching on Power of Inter
state Commerce Law.
Seattle, Nov. 30.— Federal Judge C.
H . Hanford yeeterday enjoined the
Washington State Railway commission,
represented by Harry Fairchild, John
C. Lawrence and Jeeee J. Jones, from
compelling the railroads to obey the
joint rate order on wheat shipped from
Eastern Washington points to Puget
sound points.
Tbe decision ia based on Judge Han
ford’ s opinion that it is the obvious in
tention of the commission to divert the
wheat traffic of that part of the state
east and south of Spokane from Port
land to Puget eonnd. The action, the
court holds, ia an attempt on the part
of tba commission to encroach upon
the power to regulate interstate com
merce vested in congress by the consti
tution of the United States.
The- particular portion of the com
mission’ s order to which the railroads
took exception wae that prescribing
that the freight charges paid by the
shippers in gross was to be divided
between the several carriers partici
pating in the service. The hands of
the commission, however, are not abso
lutely tied, for Jndge Hanford says no
iDjnry will be inflicted by the making
of the supplemental order apportioning
the joint rates.
,
From Judge Hanford’s opinion it
would appear that the commission ie
entitled to prescribe a joint rate in the
future provided that the objectionable
features of the preeent order are obvi
ated.
“ The injunction to be issued,” says
the court, “ w ill not restrain the rail
way commission from making such an
order. This court w ill not set aside a
joint rate by interlocutory decree or
provisional injunction, nor at all, un
less upon final hearing it shall be
proved to be insufficient and unreason
able.”
The jurisdiction of the United States
District court, which was questioned by
the railroads, is maintained by Judge
Hanford.
