Johnstown, Pa.--Twelve men, all foreigners, met their death in a ter­ rific explosion in the coal mine of the Cambria Steel Company near here They were making their way out of the shaft after completing their day's work. At the time of the explosion there were 15 men in the main tun­ nel and but three are alive to tell the story of the disaster. Almost before the echoes of the sub­ terranean blast had subsided rescuing parties rushed to the mouth of the shaft, but could not render assistance, as the tunnel was filled with poison­ ous gas, which belched upward in thick, dust-laden ciouds, while falling slate and rock thundered down into the depths. While the rescuers were eagerly waiting for an opportunity to begin clearing out the shaft to reach the men imprisoned three heads appeared above the surface. Three exhausted, wounded and well-nigh unconscious miners had succeeded in climbing up the long fire ladders to safety above, although they were almost suffocated by the fumes, and gashed, torn and terribly bruised by the storm of slate and small stones, that poured into the mine after the explosion. As soon as practicable, a large force of men, working in shifts, set to work to clear out the shaft. They worked for hours with demoniacal energy in the hope that the miners imprisoned below might still be alive. After the last barrier of rocks had been pene­ trated, however, they found the 12 men lyfng huddled in death, which had been caused by suffocation, as none of the group had been seriously Injured by the explosion itself. Their escape had been cut off by ton3 of fallen rocks, which had closed up the air passages and tunnel and their death must have been a matter of only a few minutes. The explosion, which is supposed to have been caused by dynamite, was felt for miles around, and many win­ dows were smashed in the village near the shaft. None of the bodies have bees identified.

The Becond bomb was exploded in the rear of the building at 170 Madison street in which Ed. Wagner and "Fatty" Woods shelter their interests. The two heavy explosions coming almost simultaneusly, shook the great buildings in the loop district to their foundations and created a panic all over the down-town district which has not been equaled in recent years. Prom hotels, theaters and buildings people poured into the street, the crowd continually growing denser, reaching the point where the los* of lives was imminent. The damage to the State street building was slight, only windows be­ ing broken, the wrecking of the in­ terior amounting to little. Estimates of the damage were placed at $1,500. The damage to the building on Mad­ ison street was placed at $10,000. KING MENELIK IS STRICKEN ; 8*1" Thomas Browne nearly 300 years Iflo wrote a book on the common er­ rors of bis time.

Athens.•-The whole military crisis in Greece was brought to a head by the actual revolt of the Tibaldos fac­ tion in the Greek navy. The situation is acute and whether or not the next event will be the long expected abdication of King George seems to hinge on the happenings of the immediate future. The govern­ ment is meeting the situation with unexpected firmness. Tibaldos seized the government ar­ senal at Salamis Friday and is now entrenched there with a force of tbout 300 naval officers, the men, who with­ drew from the city on Wednesday, leaving a 24-hour ultimatum for the government's consideration. The struggle over the arsenal was perfunctory, the guard putting up but a feeble defense. It is recognised everywhere, however, as an overt act against the throne, and it was imme­ diately met at the palace by a proc­ lamation of Tibaldos as a traitor and an order for his arrest. ' Troops have been thrown around the ministry of . marine, and business iB practically suspended in the cap­ ital. The question of the hour is "What will the fleet do?" The warships are anchored off Keratsini, on the farther side of the island of Salamis, and the premier is waiting anxiously to see whether its officers and men will de­ clare for Tibaldos or against him. PACIFIC SLOPE IS SHAKEN California and Oregon Experience Severe Earth Shocks--Financial Damage Not Great. San Francisco.--The earthquake shock felt in northern California and southern Oregon Thursday is. reported from a number of places to be more severe than any felt in several years previously. The vibrations continued from 10 to 15 seconds, according to ob­ servers in different towns. Windows were shattered, chimneys prostrated, dishes broken and small pieces of furniture moved, but so far as known the financial damage was nominal. Humboldt county seems to have been the center of the seismic dis­ turbance, but telegraph and telephone communication is interrupted and only meager reports have been re­ ceived. It does not appear, however, that the shock was of great violence. Among the cities and towns where the quake was felt are Redding, Red Bluff, Chico, McCloud, Weaverville, Dunsmuir and Crescent City, in Cali­ fornia, and Grant's Pass and Marsh- field, Oregon. It was not felt in San Francisco, nor was it recorded at the local weather bureau. "WENT THAW ONE BETTER" Woman Seeking Divorce Charges Hut' band with Inhuman Treatment- Burns Her with Lighted Cigar.

D^iv^is Address it State Fair In ^tWlftch He Declares the FJWI»M.V- er*s Life Is Happiest of All. Jackson, Miss.--With 30,000 visitors from all parts of the state, the great­ est state fair in the history of Mis­ sissippi was in full swing, a big circus in town, a balloon ascension and a thrilling parachute leap from the clouds. President Taft, as Jackson's guest Monday, had a share of honors unique and unparalleled in the his­ tory of the old city» The president left at midnight for Columbus, Miss., the birthplace of Secretary Dickinson. He will spend three hours there and will reach Bir­ mingham, Ala., Tuesday evening. At the fair grounds Mr. Taft lunched with Gov. and Mrs. Noel and met a number of the state's distinguished citizens. He spent an hour going through the various exhibits at the fair and was particularly interested in the agricultural displays. These dis­ plays so impressed the president that he devoted most of his address to the importance of farming and to a deprecation of the tendency of young men to drift to the cities, where they think they can be where "the wheels go round." The president said in part: "I am glad to be in a state in which agriculture is ycrur chief trade and oc­ cupation. We must admit that the oc­ cupation of the farmer is among the one or two most important occupa­ tions that> go to make this country great. "We have arrived at a time in the development of this country and the world when old methods of agricul­ ture must be discarded if we would keep up with the procession. Land is becoming too valuable to treat it In the old wasteful way. The profes­ sion of the farmer has become a real scientific profession, and I am glad to note that Mississippi is at the head of the column in having one of the best agricultural institutions in the country. » "Here you have been able to re­ strain that tendency of your young men, laborers and others, to come into the cities and live in tenements, in or­ der that they may be where the wheels go round. The truth is, if I were advising a young man in this country as to his future profession I should say to him that there Was probably greater opportunity for real reward, in assiduity, industry, atten­ tion to business and scientific investi­ gation in the profession of agriculture than in any other profession that this country affords. The tendency toward the country and country life is a tendency that we ought to encourage. It tends toward sane, philosophical and quiet consid­ eration of the problems of life. It takes out that nervous exhaustion of energy, it takes out the gambling spirit; it takes out of the life of the citizen that hurry and rapidity that carries men quickly to their grave, and It makes for the happiness of indi­ viduals and families far more than any trade or profession that brings you into the great maelstrom of city life."

" 100 MEN WILL VISIT FLORIDA i:&• EXPENSES PAID m A Land Company Pays All Rail- * Expenses for ligation. FT* ;<TV THE LAND THI8 COMPANY SELLS MIJST BE GOOD, OR IT WOULD NOT PAY RAILROAD FARE OF 100 MEN. Interview with Man Who Doubted Sincerity of the Company's Ad­ vertising Announcement. I read a very extraordinary an­ nouncement in my home weekly last week. It had the ring of sincerity in It, but I doubted the truth of the announce­ ment because It was so very much out of the ordinary. A land company owning ° 17,000 acres of land in Northern Florida, near Jacksonville, offered to send 100 men to Florida to examine their lands. The announcememnt read that the company would pay the round trip railroad fare and sleeping car accom­ modations both ways from any point in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, or In­ diana, just to have their land exam­ ined, as they stated, "by responsible people who represented friends or prospective buyers." While I doubted the truth of this announcement, I proposed to Investi­ gate to my entire satisfaction because I had read a good many advertise­ ments about Florida. All other companies want to sell land without making any offer to show the land to ine or give me any in- Qacem«nt to go to Florida. The tendency on the part of all other companies seems to be to push the sale of land in 10, 20 and 40 acre farms in Florida, without investiga­ tion, advising that there is no neces­ sity of going to see the land. The announcement made by the company I refer to stated that they wanted their land investigated, and were willing to pay to have it investigated by sending 100 men to Florida at their expense. I read the advertisement in last week's issue, Saturday night, and again read it over very carefully Sun­ day, and yesterday I took the earliest train for Chicago and palled at the of­ fice of the land company, 1536 First National Bank Bldg., and the first question I asked was, ".What do you mean by the head lines offering to pay the round trip railroad fare in advance of 100 men to investigate your land in Florida?" The answer was, "We want our lands Investigated by men before they actually buy it, and a club of men who are interested each in buying one or more 10 acre farms in our tract may elect one of their number to go and make a thorough investigation of the land and see the growing truck farms, talk with the people there, and understand by personal observation just what is offered." My second question was, "What ob­ ligation is there for buying, if the lands are found to be as represented ?" Answer: "When the man who In­ vestigates finds that all the state­ ments made in the literature of the company are exactly as printed, and so reports, each man in the club will then buy such farms as he wants, ac­ cording to the investigator's report of the farms examined." Question: "Suppose the club rep­ resentative who gofes at your expense reports unfavorably?" Answer: "Then there is no obliga­ tion In any way whatever on the part of the men who elected Mm to take pie trip." - Question: "What gi*arant|»e l»ve we to this effect?" ^ 4 Answer: "We sign a contract, spe­ cifically stating that should the mas find conditions different from the rep- »s*ntations made In the literature of our company, and so reporis to his; friends on his return, the obligation ceases, and each man's snansy is re­ turned to him. Our company will then have spent the money for the trip of Investigation without receiving any return." Question: "What have others don»> who have gone there?" Answer: "The result of the trips of some 200 men who went at their own expense has been that each has bought additional land to that which he purchased by correspondence, or If he had not done so before going, he purchased 10 to 40 acres while there." Question: "Will you make such an arrangement *wjth me?" • Answer: "Yes. We will give you a contract, club agreement, and letter of authority to act as club organizer. We will also give you a receipt book, and on the back of each receipt is printed the form of the club agreement, as signed by each of the 20 club mem­ bers." Question: "Do you require any pay­ ment when the club Is formed?" Answer: "Yes, each club member deposits $10, for Which he gets a re­ ceipt." Question: "What is done with the money paid in advance by each club member?" Answer: "It is placed in a local bank in the town where the club is formed." Question: "Do you get any part of the money before the member has made his investigation?" Answer: "No, we do not, because we want the money to remain on deposit in the bank, so that each club member may understand that we do not have any rights until a favorable report has been made by the representative who goes to investigate the land." Question: "Do you furnish the rail­ road ticket and pay for it in advance?" Answer: "Yes, from any point east of the Missouri river, round trip to Hilliard, Fla." . Question: "Do you expect to place your advertisement in my newspaper again ?" Answer: "Yes. It will be published this coming week." Question: "Do you believe it will be a good thing to publish this inter­ view in my home newspaper?" Answer: "I believe it would, and will ask the publisher to print it." Question: "Will you have my con­ tract and club agreement made out at once?" Answer: "Yes." I received- my club agreement and contract, with letter of authority and receipt book, and I thanked Mr. Corn­ wall, President of the Cornwall Farm Land Company, and asked him to have our interview published (if he cared to do so) in the same paper with his advertisement, because I be­ lieve every man who is interested in buying Florida land should first inves­ tigate the offer made by this com­ pany. It is, in my judgment, the fairest, cleanest, most liberal offer to anyone intending to purchase land in Florida that has come to my atten­ tion. I have read the advertisements of a number of companies who are trying to sell land in Florida, but they did not invite the purchaser to go and in­ vestigate the land before they bought. I am absolutely satisfied that the members of my club, as well as mem­ bers of other clubs, will place greater confidence in the methods of sellng Florida land used by the Cornwall Farm Land Co. than those of any other company because there Is no> j obligation to purchase if the land i« not found to be exactly as represented^ ^ From all I can learn, the land inf North Florida is the best part of thai| State for fruit and vegetable culture;- and Northern people will enjoy ther;,' summer as well as the winter climate,.- , , Signed: ' ' ' £ IV' VATJGHAN, n : - " Blue Inland, 515. |gg SHOWED HIS HERO WORSHIP^ SureVy *4o*hlwf Wrong Could Oo Forth from -Wfts That Were His Veneration.
