Biro Lamp Touches Off Pocket ot
Gas Black Damp Prevents
Rescue Work.
Wchrum, Pa., June 24. As the re
sult of an explosion of gas In mlno No.
4 of the Lackawanna Coal & Coke com
pany early today, 17 miners were kill
ed and 16 injured. With the exception
of one, those killed were foreigners.
With few exceptions the injured were
Americana.
Inspector Joseph Williams with a
party entered the mine today to ascer
tain if there were any more victims.
Superintendent A. M. Johns stated
that while the mine has always been
regarded as non-gasecus, tho explosion
was caused by a miner's open lamp Ig
niting a pocket of gas.
The mine burning fiercely in seve
ral places and deadly black damp is
pouring: from the mouth, effectively
preventing systematic rescue work.
Large quantities of oxygen and many
oxygen tanks have been requested from
the Cambria Steel company of Johns
town, Pa., and the United States gov
ernment mining and testing station at
Pittsburg.
Three men, seriously burned, suc
ceeded In reaching the surfaee. They
said that following the explosion there
seemed to be a (lash and then all was
darkness. Calls for help and groans
were heard by them as they made their
way to tee entrance, staggering over
the bodies of comrades, who had fallen
with the first shock.
AUSTRIA OUSTS STANDARD.
Will Outld Reservoirs and Aid Home
Refineries to Fight Octopus,
Vienna, June 26. Owing to the de
cisive Intervention of the imperial gov
ernment, the Standard Oil company's
plans for gaining control of the Gali
clan petroleum industry have suffered
a final and crushing defeat. The Aus
trians have withdrawn the contract
with the company, which would have
Insured to the American concern a
dominating position in tho Galician oil
fields, for which it has been striving
many years.
The minister of finance has under
taken to build reservoirs and lease
them to oil men at rents much less
than thoso demanded by tho Standard
Oil company. Moreover, homo refiners
will escape the handicap of heavy re
bates en tho prico of tho raw product
which the Standard was to have en
joyed under the contract now canceled.
The government expresses a hope
that competition will be sharpened
through abrogation of the contract, but
it is probable that lively fight will fol
low for export trade, which vitally
affects the Standard's position in Ger
many.

Famous Scientist Causes'Stir at Chi

Chicago, June 24. "Woman, tho
eternal savage, whose only salvation
lies In the fact that she always has
been and always will "be a savage." has
been flayed again by the lash of Pro
fessor Frederick Starr, the famous
scientist and ethnological explorer of
the university of Chicago.
"Women are not civilized," accord
ing to the astute investigator. "Fur
thermore, they should not bo civilized.
Whit is more, they can't be," he con
tinues, "for the fundamental nature of
woman is barbaric, and it is better so.
since trie posterity, even the continu
ance of the race, depends upon the
rigid assertion of a fundamental differ
ence between man and woman."
"Woman's religion is also notably
that of lower culture," he asserts.
"She Is always seeing signs in every
thing; she avoids having 13 at her
table and starting on a journey on Fri
day) she is the chief supporter of
spiritual mediums. She Is the founder
of new sects, in which the religous
attitude of savgery is given high-
sounding names and maintained by
most select individuals; she dabbles
constantly in the occult."

sia brought action against Ivan Pros-
kowreakoff in the Winnipeg courts for
the recovery of a large amount of mon
ey was ended today after a year and a.
half of litigation.
Ivan was a defaulting official in

Will Giving Vast Estate to Charity Is
Annulled.
San Franciso, June 25. The Su
preme court invalidated today the will
of the late Adolph Sutro and ordered
that the large estate, valued at mil
lions, and consisting of the Cliff House
ranch In this city and the-San Miguel
rancbo, be distributed among the
heirs. The former property is situat
ed along the beach and includes the
famous Sutro heights and resorts.
Under the terms of the will the es
tate was to be held In trust until the
last surviving child should die, after
which the lands were to be sold and
the proceeds given to charitable and
educational institutions in this city.
The court held that the failure to pro
vide specifically for tho distribution of
the proceeds of the sale rendered that
bequest invalid.
MAY GRAFT ARM ON MAN.
Injunction Is Grantsd Against Crattr
Lako Road.
Salem In tho Circuit court Judge
William Gnllowny granted n perpetual
injunction restraining the governor and
socrotary of the treasury from paying
out $100,000 for the construction of
the road to Crater lake, lie held the
law Is special and local and clearly in
hibited by tho constitution of the state.
Tho case will bo Immediately appealed.
The Supremo court has prcvlouly tak
en the same stand as Judge Galloway,
In a case almost identical.
The court's reasons for the decision
arc given aa follows:
Tho act Is local and special in that it
applies to only two counties in the
state and because It la limited to a spe
cified section and for special purposes
only. Tho act creates a loan of the
credit of the state, which in tho aggro
gate with previous debts or liabilities
exceeds tho sum of $50,000.
Tho proposed Crater laki road would
not be a continuous public highway
across the state via Crater Lake Na
tional park because tho act provides
only for tho construction of roads from
Mcdford, in Jackson county, to the
western boundary of the park and from
Klamath Falls, Klamath county, to the
eastern boundary of the park, leaving
an intervening segment of more than
13 J miles over which tho statn gov
ernment has no jurisdiction or right to
trespass,
WILL BUILD NORTH.
Rumor Says Harrtmsn Will Not Stop
at Klamath.
Klamath Falls According to rrporta
Klamath Falls is not to be the terminus
of the terminus of the California North-,
eastern for any considerable length of
time. It Is stated on good authority,
however, not officially, that a contract
has been let for the construction of 25
miles of read northward from this city.
Tho roadbed is now completed to upper
Klamath lake, about two miles north
of tho depot site. The trsck will be
completed during July and direct con
nection made with the boats on tho
lake. The large steam dredges used in
building the dyke across the marsh are
to be moved to the lake and will be
used in building the Southern Pacific
dock. This work will Uke but a short
time. It is generally believed that as
soon as the docks are completed the
dredges will be used in constructing
the grade for the extension. It will
be necessary to cross several miles of
marsh in extending the road northward
and it is likely that this work will bo
begun in tho near future.
Local representatives of the South
ern Pacific will not confirm tho report
that a contract has been let for a 25
mile extension. Erickson & Peterson,
contractors, who havo been building
the spur, say that they cannot give out
information in regard to future work.

has rendered an opinion to the effect
that $75 a day appropriated by tlio

Under a strict interpretation of the
acL the amount would not be avallahlo
for anything but tho construction of
the line from lllg Eddy to The Dalles,
and the balance of the line w uld hno
to quit business for lack of money
with which to operate. Tho attorney
general however, decided that It would
be safe to bo guided by the evident
Intent or the legislature rather than
by the strict wording of the law.

The two extensions, aggregating
about CO miles, for which bids list
been asked, rover about line-third of
the length of the pruxed road, whlrh,
according to tho approved survey, will
bo 193.0 miles In length from Klamsth
Falls tu Natron.
The action of llarrlman In calling
for bid for extending this road by be
ginning work simultaneously at Ni
tron ami Klamath Fall Is accepted as
conclusive evidence of his determina
tion to complete lis construction. It
I figured that to build tho 60 miles of
track for which bids havo been InviUd
will practically exhaust the approprla
tlon that has been mado for this rosl
for tho ensuing year. For that reason
additional appropriations for further
extenilons are looked for next year.
There can be no question of the ulti
mate purKo of llarrlman to complete
this road between Natron and Klamsth
Falls. Completion of tho extenders
for which proposals havo been aikrd
cannot in themselves add materially to
tho value of tho property. By extend
ing the road 26 miles northerly from
Klamath Falls, tho northern terminus
of tho southern extension would rraeh
only Into tho heart of Klamath county.
Tho construction of an additional 35
miles southerly from Natron would
terminate tho road fnm this end In a
mounta.noui ami spsrsly settled dis
trict. For these reasons It la patent front a
practical business consideration that
tho llarrlman Interests will complete

basis. The primary purpose In project
ing this road was to provide for th
Southern Pacific a bettor grade for
crossing the state and thereby avoid
tho more difficult passage now followed
over tho Siskiyou mountains. When
completed, tho Oregon Eastern un
doubtedly will become the main lino for
