MINE EXPLOSION FATAL. CHANGE IN COINS FEW CHANGES OF 8ENATO R8 i^lnts Turning Out Gold Pieces of Cummins Will Go From Iowa K$rn From Indiana. New Design. ' ¿W ashington, Nov. 12.— The mints of Philadelphia, San Francisco and P en - ver have begun coining new 15 gold pieces, struck on a different plan froifl any heretofore coined in the world. It follow s an idea expressed to Presi dent R oosevelt by Dr. W illiam S. Sturgis B igelow , o f B oston, that to permit the coins being piled to a uni form height, a higher or stronger re lief m ight be obtained by depressing the design below the held or face of the coin instead o f raising it above, as usual in all coinage operations. This would provide a flat held and a uniform thickness, the flat surface taking the wear and protecting the relief, the shape o f the depression fol low in g the outline o f the relief. T h e same design will be used on the new $2.50 nieces and all will hear the "In God W e Trust” motto. FIGHT WILL BE CONTINUED. Government to Take Octopus Rebate Cate to Supreme Court.

Of these 19 are held by Republic u* cans and 12 by Democrats. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Maryland al ready have chosen Democrats, and Kentucky and Vermont Republicans. The other senators of whom successors are to be elected are: Republicans— Allison, Iowa; Ank eny, Washington; Brandegee, Connect icut; Galliger, New Hampshire; Hasn- brough, North Dakota ;!Heybum, Idaho; Hopkins, Illinois; Kittredge, South Dakota; Long, Kansas; Penrose, Penn sylvania; Perkins, California; Platt, New York; Smoot, Utah; Stephenson, Wisconsin.

I 13.— The greatest mine disaster in many I years in Germany occurred yesterday morning at the RadboiJ mine, about three inih-s from this ylace. There was a heavy explosion at 4 A. M., and al- j most immediately the mine took fire. O f 380 mjners working underground at the time, only six escaped without in jury. Thirty-five men were taken out badly hurt and 37 dead were brought to the mouth o f the pit. The remain ing 302 have been given up for lost. > The explosion was unusually violent,' destroying one o f the shafts, which had to be partly repaired before the rescue work was begun. In addition the flames and smoke proved to be almost insurmountable obstacles in the efforts of the rescuing parties. A special corps, composed o f fhe men who ren dered such valuable aid in the tenable mine disaster at Courrieres, France, in March, 1966, arrived upon the scene shortly before noon, but were unable to enter the mine, being forced to await the result of the efforts o f the firemen to keep the flames in check. Meantime heartrending scenes took dace at the mine when the dead and njured were brought to the surface, aud there were similar scenes in the town when the injured were transported through the streets to the hospitals. At 1 o ’clock the fire had made great headway, and later in the afternoon, after a consultation o f the engineers, it was decided that any further at tempts to rescue the entombed men would be in vain, owing to the impossi bility o f entering the galleries. At the sume time an order was issued to flood the mine. First reports indicated that the ac cident was the result of an explosion o f coal dust, but the statements o f the injured men rendered this improbable and it is not clear just what caused it. appeals of New Jersey sustaining the verdict of the Monmouth county court sessions which convicted President Albert C.

P r i c e 2 5 c e n t s » L a r g e s i z e 5 0 c e n t s * All Depends on Note to the Powers From Austria. St. Petersburg, Nov. l!3__ Although an air of outward calm is maintained at the Russian foreign o ffice, the Balkan situation has now reached an acute stage, where everything depends upon the nature o f the note which is expected from Vienna today and the outcome o f the mediation which Rus sia, France and Great Britain have un dertaken at Belgrade, at Auatro-Hun- g a ry ’s request, with a view to limiting the belligerent activity o f Servia. I f mediation is not successful, war is recognized as a possibility in authori tative circles. The Austro-Hungarian- Servian relations are too strained, it is believed, to permit present conditions to continue indefinitely. The Austrian note will definitely out line the attitude of that government re garding discussion o f the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and possible compensation to Servia and Montene gro, and the nature o f the note will de termine whether or not an international congress can be held. legations here are sending cable dis patches thereon to* their respective gov ernments.
