Mine officials said several hours after the explosion that the death list would be more than 40, while others were miss ing and were believed to be dead in the shaft. A squad of relief workers entered the mouth of the mine, but. could make little headway because of the presence of noxious gases. Scenes of pathos pnd excitement attended the disaster while the families of the penned up miners clustered about the pit mouth imploring that their relatives be res cued. At 2 o’clock this afternoon 30 bodies had been recovered. Many of the corpses taken out were burned so badly they could not be identified. One hundred and fifty miners were at work in the mine when the explo sion took place. Conisborough is the seat of the Yorkshire mining district in West Rid ing. King George visited the colliery yes terday and was shown through the plant. The king is the guest of the Earl of Fltzwilliam at his estate in Yorkshire. WEALTH NOR FAMILY STANDING WILL NOT SAVE “BLIND TIGERS” ROME, GA.. July’ 9. —"If any one is brought before me and convicted of selling whisky, 1 am going to put him to work on the public roads, I don’t care whose son he is. Rich or poor, the man who violates the prohibition law must help build roads. I won't al low him to pay a fine." Judge John W. Maddox issued this ultimatum in his charge to the grand Jury. Two hundred or more persons were in the court room when the judge made his charge and they were startled when the jurist declared: "I am going to send the white vio lator to the gang along with the negro blind tiger, no matter how prominent the family from which he comes.” The judge also rapped the pistol toter and tidiculed the man who sought another’s life with a pistol hidden in his back pocket. “If you are going to kill a man. carry a shotgun along and 'use that,” he cried.

Georaian's Guests Spend Day indneinnati SIGHTSEERS A HAPPY FAMILY Niagara on Specail Train, on First Lap of Week’s Jaunt. The Georgian’s guests, who took ad vantage of the offer to see the wonder ful scenic beauties of Niagara Falls and visit Cincinnati, Toronto, Buffalo, Detroit and other famous cities, free of cost, are now in Cincinnati, making the first stop for a day. They will leave late this afternoon for Toronto, and go from there to the falls. The grim old Union depot was en tirely’ changed yesterday afternoon when the merry crowd left in the spe cial train. A throng of those who could not go said good-bye at the 'train, filling the station until the time for the train to leave. “Oh. yes, I'm going; aren't you?” and “Yes, I'm going, too!” echoed among the greetings of those who recognized friends in the party. From an hour before train time until the big special pulled out there was a constant chatter of voices and the mer- \ / / J/” * R i BUI '2l t jg Hgn Jp AO X - m ms ' ry laughter of the many women and girls mingled with the crowd. A dem ocratic feeling predominated and friends introduced their friends to oth ers who were on the trip, so that when the loud voice of the train caller an nounced something that sounded like “Na’ga Fall Trip Speciah" most of the’ party were on speaking terms with all those near them. Many Women in Party. “Oh. I'd just give anything if I'd made arrangements to go. too,” said Miss Fay Watterson, an Atlanta girl. who came to the station to see a party I of friends off. “I didn’t realize how much fun it would be until 1 saw the kind of people who are taking the trip." “Come on and join us in the picture on the step," cried a friend while a pho tographer was waiting to snap a party on the back of the train'. “I'll pljty 'make-believe' once more," she answered, and joined the laughing 5 group entering the Pullman. , There were many women and a num. f . /X > l ■ ' lb t j ber of children in the party. Many of them from various parts of south Georgia and several from Alabama and Florida, where, they say. The Geor gian's free offer to see Niagara Falls for the trouble of gathering a few sub scriptions for the paper created as much or even more interest than in At lanta and right around this section. Many hurried to obtain their own re served seats in the comfortable Pull mans, and after they had deposited suit cases and bundles they leaned out the ear windows and added their happy voices to the hundreds that were al ready ringing in the station.

WOMEN IN GALLERIES APPLAUD CHAMPIONS • House Verdict Expected Today. Only Locker Club Amendment Seems to Have Chance. The fight over the Tippins bill was resumed In the house of representatives this morning at 10 o’clock, when Rep resentative J. Randolph Anderson, of Chatham, took the floor to answer Rep. resentative Hooper Alexander’s vehe ment and vigorous speech in its favor yesterday. Mr. Anderson has pending a substi tute for the Tippins bill, in the form of a straightaway "local option" proposi tion, with cities of not less than 5,000 the unit of option. He proposes in his substitute to bond licensees not to sell spirits and malt liquors for delivery’ outside of their respective municipali ties, under penalty of fine or impris onment and perpetual forfeiture of their licenses. It was to the merits of that proposition that Mr. Anderson ad dressed himself urging it as a solu tion of a question the Tippins bill never would reach. Mr. Anderson’s idea is that the pres ent state-wide prohibition law has bred certain conditions that, while they might be prevented In extreme circum stances, nevertheless will not be in all human probability, and confessedly have not been under its operation thus far. Mr. Anderson believes that if certain large cities are to tolerate near ber saloons and clubs, even in the knowledge that they may be conducted in violation of the written and specific law, and admitting for the argument's sake that the law might be enforced, but is not and will not be. it would be better to give those near-beer saloons and clubs a genuine cloak of legality, put them under strict police regulation and license them at a high rate, rather than countenance a continuing state of lawlessness and disrespect for the law, “Locker Club’’ Clause Added to the Bill. Since the close of yesterday’s session, the conviction has grown more pro nounced than ever that the bill known as house bill No. 2, or the Tlplpns bill, amended In one or two particulars as originally introduced, surely will pass. The amendment specifically Including "locker clubs” in the list of persons, firms and individuals prohibited un der the terms of the bill from engag ing in the sale or manufacture of liquid concoctions containing more than one half of one per cent of alcohol likely will be retained. The amendment providing for a ref erendum to the people may or may not be adopted. Representative Anderson, who is leading the fight for the advo cates of the bill, urges that ft be passed without the referendum amendment, and he is supposed to voice generally the attitude of the friends of the bill. He protests that the question of the Tippins bill should be put squarely up to the governor, just as any legisla-
