April 23.—Four ‘men •re dead and a number of others ln- ;H ra<i as the result of an explosion In the mine of the Ellsworth Coal Com pany, at Ellsworth, Pa., at 8 o'clock this morning. Three of the bodies al- ready have been recovered and a res cuing party is at work In the mine ••arching for the body of the other miner and taking out the Injured. An «plosion of gas Is supposed to have F?* n the cause, but the fact* concerning 'he disaster are as yet meager. In a personal statement made before the railroad commission Thursday morning Charles K. Johnston, a trav eling man from Columbus, denied that he had ever made any statement, either directly or Indirectly, meant to cast aspersions upon the honesty of rail road conductors. The matter came up on the petition of the Seaboard Air Line to annul the "Shoofly” train between Columbus and Amerlcus. In a previous hearing on this petition, Mr. Johnson, In arguing against taking off this train, made statements concerning cash fares, which, ht said, did not appear In the report of the railroad, as one of the reasons for taking the train oft. Hie statement created a sensation over the state, as an Inference was drawn that Mr. Johnson was reflecting on the honesty of the conductors, as well as some of the traveling public. He ofTered to bring evidence to support his contention regarding this train, and the case went over to Thursday, April 28. Conductors Are Present.. In anticipation of a sensational hear, lng, a large crowd was present. The conductors were represented by the fol lowing committee from their organic tlon: J. A. Dodson, H. M. Patton, O. W. Evans, W.

On this showing that direction was given to the matter by the commission. At this juncture Charles G. Johnson arose and asked to make a personal statement to the commission, which privilege was granted him. He said: Mr. Johnson's Statement. ’Any Inference gained from the newspapers by publications made at the previous hearing In this.rase that Tar* _ ductors Is erroneous. I did say that I could establish the fact that the cash farce paid on this "Shoofly" train did not appear In the showing made here by the Seaboard officials os a reason for taking the train off. but that their report was made up only from ticket sales. I want to istlsfy the conductors that I have made no charge against them. I said before that I was In a party of four, when three paid the conductor srsonally. Some newspaper printed It irivateiy.’ which distorted my mean ing. I meant no wholesale charge alnst-conductors, for I them are honest men."

"I also notice that Governor Smith In his apeeoh at Columbus and at Ma con makes the charge that negroes are wearing Joe Brown buttons. Insinuat ing that they are being furnished by my friends and supporters. In reply to this charge, I wish to say that reports frequently come to me that the friends of Mr. Smith are procuring and giving away buttons to negroes for the sole purpose of supporting his mode end method of campaigning. All dignified and fair-minded Georgians will under stand this. “I can not afford to take further no ties of the matter than to say that the charge Is a slander that 111 becomes the governor of Georgia.

Wet- son. when asked by The Georgian for an expression as to the nature of th* recent conference between himself and Hon. Seaborn Wright. Mr. Watson was busily engaged In work at hi* home, but seemed unusual, ly cheerful, and when pressed for s definite answer he laughingly diverted attention to the value of his paper, which Is engaging much of his atten tion, while with one eye he Is noting th* trend of political event* her* In Oeor-' gla end the nation. “Hsd the conference to do with your probable stand In the gubernatorial race In Georgia?" he we* asked. "I have nothing to say. except watch The Jeffersonian." he replied. It Is thought the visit of Mr. Wright to Thomson Immediately after his two days' stay In Atlanta, as a result of which th* prohibition question was removed from the campaign, and hla long conference with Mr. Watson, Is of murh politics! significance. Many claim Mr. Watson, whose political pow er In th* state hoc not diminished dur ing these yean, will declare himself In the next few weeks, at least, and to day's Interview would indicate that he has chosen the column* of Th* Jeffer aonlan thru which to make his an nouncement and glva his views to tha public.

BIG FUSS RAISED OVER BLANK LOAN One Delegate Threatens to Secure Injunction to Balk Congress. WASHINGTON, April 23.—"Tou are bonding us by a sum in blank and If necessary we shall enjoin this society In the courts,” shouted Mrs. Marion A. Ballinger, of the District of Columbia, today, after the Congress of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution had voted amid scenes of wildest enthusi asm to bond Itself for a sum sufficient to complete a continental hall. After a vote had been taken by over whelming odds, about a score of noes being heard, Mra. Ballinger and several of her followers vainly endeavored to gain recognition to ascertain for what amount the Daughters had bonded themselves. Mrs. McLean, the presi dent general, shut off all Inquiries by saying that the matter had been settled and that no further discussion was wanted. "But, Madams President General," persisted Mrs. Ballinger, ‘‘this resolu tion. which has been so hurriedly passed, Is In'blank and does not state the amount for which this bond Is to be made. Since all authentic Informa tion must be furnished by the chair and since we must show the chair the jroper deference." continued Mrs. Bat Inger rather sarcastically, "I most re spectfully urge the chair to tell us how much the completion of this building Is going to cost and how much this socle, ty has got to stand for." "Thin can not be told until we bear from the architect and others who will furnish figures." replied Mrs. McLean. “The chair will be glad to talk with Mrs. Ballinger In private and g this information, but would be very much obliged if Mrs. Ballinger would take her seat it this Urns. I can not permit a further discussion of this sub- ,ect In public. The majority of this congress understands the question It has juit voted .upon. 'Proceed with the iilar order of buslneea.” midst the applause of the affirma tives Mrs. Ballinger took her seat, say ing In a voice plainly audible to those In her vicinity: "We shall stop you by Injunction, then. You shall not bond this society In an amount to be decided upon later, over which the members themselves have no supervision." Mrs. Helm, of New York, endeavored to gain recognition from the chair at this point, saying: 1 would Ilka to know. If after a mo tion Is made, It Is not customary to have a discussion of the subject? We have not been given an opportunity to dis cuss this grave question and I want to here publicly go on record aa opposing any such snap action." "Wa discussed this matter yester day." said Mra. McLean, "and your ob jection Is out of order. The proposi tion to bond the society has been almost unanimously agreed to end th* chair will not permit th* jng of the question.” nosing momsnts of the morning session were taken up In the presenta tion of a handsome loving cup by the Georgia delegation to the retiring vice president general from that state. Mrs. lobert Emory Park. The loving cup, which Is of exquisite design, waa pre- by Mrs. Ira C. Bennlng, state regent. Mra. Park replied with tears In her eyes and expressed her thanks for the unexpected gift. Mrs. McLean congratulated Mrs. Park upon her work during her vice presidency.

JUST TWO SNAKE STORIES; BOTH OF ’EM TRUE, TOO Moccasin For Plaything. Scotch Folk Wanted Alley Full of Snakes Among the late arrivals at the farm of Mayor Joyner, near Marietta, la one James Stark, a typical Scotchman from Scotland, and hla wife and two children, aged 2 and 4 years. Mra. Joiner waa spending a day out at the farm recently. She wa* walk ing alongside the lake on the farm with Mr. and Mra. 8tark and the two little children. • "Uh, look, mama," cried out the 4-year-old, "pretty little toy!" So saying, both the two little Chil dren rushed to the "toy.” Mr. and Mr*. Stark espied the "toy," add they, too, rushed toward* It. Mrs. Joyner turned and found Mra. Stark about to pick 1 up In the gentlest kind at way a 8-foot moccasin which waa ]ust curling up about to strike. Mr. Stark and th* two children were "dead bent” on petting tbe "cute lit tle thing." The scream of Mr*. Joyner fright ened the party away and a big stick killed the Infuriated snake before any harm could be done. It developed that nelthec Mr. Stark nor Mra. Stark had ever seen a snake before In all their live* and their flrat Intention upon seeing the "cute little thing" was to adopt It aa a pet for th* two little children. There are no snakes In Scotland," explained Mr. Stark to 'Mra. Joyner later. Reported to a Coun cilman. Out In the Second ward, between Crew and Washlngton-su. runs an al ley from Clark to Rlchardson-.-i-. Wedneaday Councilman Huddleston was favored with a call from several of his constituents In that vicinity, who complained of the condition of this al ley. They said the alley was piled up with old rotten trees and shrubs, with bricks of all sorts, high weeds, and tho like, and concluded by saying that tha alley waa "full of snakes.” The councilman thought there was tome exaggeration and th* committee •aw that the councilman thought there was some exaggeration, so the commit tee left and returned a few hours later with a large glass Jar full of snakes — live ones—they had picked up In a few leisure moments In the alley. Councilman Huddleston Investigated and found that the conditions were about aa described. He found also that a string of cltlxens had gone to tho al ley with Jars to catch snakes just as calmly as If they had gone to the well with buckets to got water. The coun cilman found, however, that all cf t.to rubbish waa piled, not really In the alley, but on private property running alongside the alley. The rubbish was cleared away Thursday. WASHINGTON, April 23.—Senator Rayner. of Maryland, delivered one of the most brilliant and Impassioned ad dresses In the senate.today that thnt august body has heard this session. His subject was "Modern State Rights.” He said In pert: "I will define what I mean by state rights democracy. I mean that the rights of the states must be maintained Inviolate ss Intended by the framers of the constitution; that there must be no perversion of the delegated powers so to strike down thereservatlon to the state«. and that whatever rights the states possess under th* constitution and un der the amendment* must remain Intact and unimpaired until, If ever, the con stitution should be changed by the voice of the people according to the methods that It provides ami the structure of our government should be directed from Its present conception and design.” Powers -Distorted. As an example of the distortion' of the delegated powers of the constitu tion, Mr. Qayner cited , he Beveridge child labor bill, which, he said, was framed "not to regulate commerce, but to regulate the labor that produces th* commerce." He said Mr. Beveridge waa far In ad vance of. bis party In this matter, and that altho th* president at first sup ported It, he has In his recent messages "sounded a slow retreat." "Advancing a step beyond the prlncl. pi# embrneed In this bill, we have im- o*her doctrine, and. I regret to say. sus. tmlned by high Democratic authority, that congress ought to pass a law pro viding that corporations should be lim ited In th* amount of product that they consign into states, and that congress has a right to place an arbitrary figure upon their business transactions when they enter Into the channels of Inter state commerce. . No Dlstinotion Mad*. "The constitution makes no classifi cation of’corporations or any distinc tion bstwesn them and Individuals, and If we have a right to do this with cor porations we have precisely the same right to do It with Individuals. We ha ve a bill now before the senate that sub stantially embodies this principle, it Is a monstrous proposition end one that would finally place every commercial transaction and every business cnt•: - prise under Federal supervision.
