About the Conclusion of the Interstate Board as to the Standard Oil Co. IT SEEMS TO STOP AT NOTHING When It Comes to the Matter of Smashing Competition. Competitive Methods of the Oil Monopoly Unfair and Even Disreputable, Declares the Report. Washington, .Tan. 29. Severe arraignment of the Standard Oil company and a proposal that the government tlx the rates and regulate the transportation of oil are the features of a report to congress by the Interstate commerce commission. This re port summarizes the results of the investigation under the Tillman-Gillespie resolution, it Is asserted that “the ruin of its competitors has been a distinct part of the policy of the Standard , Oil company in the past, systematical- | )y and persistently pursued." Its Methods of Competition. The report severely arraigns the ' Standard's methods of competition. On tills poirtt it says in part: "The Stand- j ard has repeatedly continued, after liecoming tlie oyvner of a competing com- ; puny, to operate it under the old name, carrying the idea to tin* public that the company was still independent and | competing with the Standard. It has I used such purchased or independently I organized companies to Kill off com-’] petitors. The operation of such fake ; independent concerns has been one of Its most.effective means of destroying competition. , Other Sins of Commission. , “The Standard has sold different grades of oil at different prices from the same barrel. It has paid employes of independent oil companies for in- I formation as to the business of those competitors, and has paid employes of industrial companies to secure the • adoption of its oil in preference to that \ of its competitors. It has followed every barrel of independent oil to destination. Its agents are instructed to win customers at any sacrifice.. It has tampered with the oil inspectors ; in different states. Strikes at the Pipe, Dines. “The commission's only knowledge of the competitive methods of the Standard Oil company is obtained from evidence taken under oatli in this Investigation. Tills evidence, if true, demonstrates that the competitive methods of the company in the past have been unfair and even disreputable. Ils motto has been the destruction of competition at any cost.” As to remedies the report says that the chief advantage the Standard has over its competitors is that of transportation. therefore, this advantage must be destroyed, ami the chief of these advantages is the pipe lines, which are declared not natural but artificial advantages.

DEAD WILL NUMBER SIXTY

That Will Be Altout the Toll Exacted in the Terrible West Virginia Mine Disaster. Charlestown, W. Va., Jan. 31.—Four bodies have been recovered from the Stuart mine, one being that of John C. Quack, the others being mutilated past identification. Charleston. W. Va.,. Jan. 31. —Ijite advices received from the scene of the disaster at the .Stuart company’s mines nt Stuart. Fayette county, is that the number of victims will be about sixty. Tile list of those known positively to have been in tlie mine at the time of the explosion includes thirty-eight white miners and ten colored miners. Bt'sides these there was a number of foreigners whose names are not known. The efforts of tlie rescuers are directed at placing brattices in tlie shaft aud clearing the debris from the entries. This is slow work, but considering the difficulties to be overcome good progress has been made, and the rescuing party hopes soon to be able to reach that part of the mine where the men are supposed to be. There la very little hope expressed that any of the entombed miners will be found alive.

CASEE OF APIT BLAST

Mine Inspector Says it Was Probably the Carelessness of a Miner. DROPPED A SPARK IN POWDER ' * • .. * * Little Trace of Gas or Fire Damp ill the Mine—Princeton's Elevator . Company Failure. , Indianapolis,.Tan. 31.—The explosion in mine No. 7, of the Deflng Coal company, near Clinton, on the morning of Jan. 14, in which seven miners were killed and four Injured, was due, in the opinion of James Taylor, a state mine inspector of Illinois, to powder, and not gas, fire damp or* coal dust As an expert witness, Taylor gave testimony before a joint committee of the senate and house, which is investigating the disaster. “God alone knowjj what caused the explosion,” the wit ness said, “but in my opinion fire dropped from the lamp of a miner into a keg of powder, which he had l opened with a pick, and his body was found not far from where the explosion originated.” He Found Little Trace of Gas. The Illinois inspector said that the explosion originated in what is known as entry No. 10. It was not a terrific explosion, be said. He found seven (powder kegs, but could not tell how much, powder they contained at the time of the explosion. He also found other kegs which had also been opened by miners with picks and these kegs had gone through the explosion without their contents being touched off. He said he tested for gas and fire damp and found little trace of either. Coal Dust Cannot Explode. “There was no evidence of an explosion of coal dust,” he said. “In the history of Illinois coal mining there never was a coal dust explosion. Coal dust cannot explode of itself, but it can act as a feeder to gases in a mine, but the dust must first find a flame which will distill the gas it contains. Then it can explode, or Its gas can.” The witness said that at no time and under no conditions should a miner be allowed to use eight pounds of powder In a blast to bring down the coal. Inspectors Have Too Much to Do. No state in the Union,,he said, which produces as much coal as Indiana has as few inspectors. The Inspector in Indiana has many more duties to look after than does an inspector in any other state. "Under the present inspection methods in Indiana,” the Illinois man said. “It is a physical impossibility for the mines to be duly inspected." THAT PRINCETON FAILURE President of the Elevator Company Cannot Account for the Absence of Assets. Princeton, Ind., Jan. 31.—One week ago Henry E. Agar, ex-representative in the legislature and one of the bestknown grain men In southern Indiana, disappeared from a boat on the Wabash river near Mount Carmel, 111. Search was made at once for the body on the supposition that he had been drowned, but it could not be found. Now the president of the Princeton Elevator.company, of which Agar was secretary and treasurer and practically managed the business, has appeared in the circuit court and asked for the appointment of a receiver. He said lie could not account, for the complicated condition of the affairs of the company, as there ought to bo thousands of bushels of wheat in elevators in which there is none, yet there is nothing to show what became of the wheat if sold or of the money if the grain was turned into cash. It is now questioned if Agar was really drowned when he disappeared from the lamt. Fatal Locomotive Blow Up Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 31.—Pennsylvania railroad engine pulling a freight train exploded twelve miles west of here, killing two men, s(>rlously injuring another and practically demolishing tlieentire train of twenty empty stock cars. The engineer of ttie train W. C. Bender, of Ft. Wayne, had ids head and shoulders literally blown oft’. Fireman Ervin Lowe was terribly bruised and scalded, dying within an hour. The head brakeman, 11. J. Hogan, of Fort Wayne, was seriously injured about the spine and shoulders. Grand Jury Will Investigate. Evansville, Ind., Jan. 31. Coroner Edward Laval has rendered a verdict that the death of Agnes Saulman, a telephone operator, a week ago Saturday was caused by mercurial iwlson. Suspicion is cast on no one. The investlgntion will not stop with the coroner’s verdict, as the grand jury Is ex--1 pected to summon all witnesses who appeared before Laval. Roy of 12 Tries Suicide. Greenfield, Ind., Jan. 31.—Because his mother punished him for going skating after she had forbidden him i to do so. Frank Hill, 12 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Hill, of this city, ■wallowed carbolic acid, and his life was saved only by prompt medical attention. i Accident Still a Mystery. Terre Haute, Ind., Jnn. 31. The Indiana railroad commission has concluded Its Investigation of the disaster at Sandford on Jan. 19, and left for Fowler to Investigate the accident ; there. The Inquiry here did not devsL | op the cause of the accident

The result was that the senate passed the diplomatic and consular and the fortifications bills. Beveridge concluded his speech injadvocacy of his child-labor bill, which had occupied three days. The house passed the senate bill increasing the board of customs appraisers at New York from 10 to 12, and also passed the senate bill making provision for conveying a strip of ground in St. Augustine, Fla., known as the “Lines,” for school purposes.

MINERS KILLED BY THE HUNDRED

Most Terrible Colliery Disaster Takes Place in Europe Due to Explosion. Saarbrueck, Prussia, Jan. 29. —A fire damp explosion occurred in tlie Reden coal mine at St. Johann-on-Saar, opposite Saarbrueck, and caused the loss of from 150 to 300 lives. The Reden mine is owned by the Prussian government. Up t.Q this writing seventy-sev-en bodies have been brought to the surface, and fifty-six corpses are known to be still under ground. Only fifty live men up to the present time have been brought out, and of these the doctors say at least thirty-live will die, as they are frightfully Injured through having been hurled against the walls of the gallerie# by the force of the explosion. An official rei>ort says the number of dead cannot exceed 160. Immediately after the explosion rescue workers were hurried from all the adjacent mines and boldly entered the Reden shaft in great numbers. The work of rescue was greatly hampered by the poisonous gases resulting from the explosion, and by a fierce fire that broke out immediately afterwards. During tlie afternoon the efforts at rescue had to lie suspended for these reasons, and tlie rescue workers had to be ordered out of the mine. After all the rescuers had readied daylight, according to one version, a second terrific detonation was heard underground. Rut according to another report many of the rescuers were still below when the second explosion occurred. and It is estimated that the casualty list from tlie two explosions reaches a total of 300 men. It Is regarded as certain that the lowest levels of the mines are completely wrecked, and the inspectors are deliberating upon further measures to get control of the fire. The managers are discussing the advisability of flooding these levels as the only means of extinguishing the flames. It is believed that ail the men who were In the lower levels assuredly are dead. It will take a full week to enter and explore the mine. •

TWO MORE JURORS LEAVE THAW CASE

Jerome Insists Upon Walker and Haas Being Excused. THAW VISIBLY DISAPPOINTED Had Expected the Jury To Be Completed During the Day and Trial Begin. Four Sworn Jurors Have Now Been Summarily Excused Within Three Days—Two More Selected During the Day. New Y’ork, Jan. 31.—Osear A. Pink, a grain salesman, and Wilbur F. Steel, a manufacturer, were chosen as jurors in the Thaw case during the day. New Y’ork, dan. 31. —When the seventh day’s proceedings of the trial of Harry K. Thaw opened It was expected that the one juror necessary to complete the trial panel of twelve would be secured before luncheon and that District Attorney Jerome would deliver thfe opening address of the prosecution before the day was done. The defendant appeared especially confident that the day would witness the real beginning of his trial, and he evidently had steeled himself for the ordeal of the district attorney’s arraignment. Family Early in Court. In anticipation of the Important events the day were expected to develop ,the members of the Thaw family were early In t|ielr seats. Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the prisoner, came -with her daughters, the countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. George L. Carnegie, and her son. Edward Thaw. Josiah Thaw ana George Carnegie had preceded Mrs. Thaw’s party by several minutes. Young Mrs. Thaw and Miss MacKenzie arrived at 10:50 o’clock and there was a cordial exchange of greetings with the other members of the family. The morning session had not opened when the prisoner’s wife came In. The delay was due to a conference of all the attorneys with Justice Fitzgerald. The result of the conference was made known as soon as the roll of the new jury panel was called. District Attorney Jerome announced that counsel for the people and the defense had agreed to excuse from further service on the jury Messrs. David S. Walker and Ixniis Haas. No cause was assigned for the action.

Caused Little Surprise.

Rumors that both Mr. Walker, who Is a son of John Brisben Walker, and Mr. Haas would be excused had been rife all morning and there was but little surprise in the court room when the decision of the attorneys was announced. Walker and Haas were both unmarried. The former is a real estate broker and the latter the New York representative of a Philadelphia wholesale candy concern. When District Attorney Jerome made the announcement he simply stated that as the result of a conference between counsel it had been agreed to relieve jurors 4 and 9 from any further service “Jurors Walker and Haas are excused and may step down,” Justice Fitzgerald ordered In a low voice. The jurymen promptly compiled with the command. Their going left three vacant chairs, and the time of reaching the taking of testimony in the famoes case was again indefinitely postponed. Four sworn jurors In the Thaw ease have now been summarily excused within three days. Thaw Visibly Disappointed. It was reported that Thaw’s counsel did not readily consent to the release of the two jurymen. Mr. Jerome was insistent, however, and after he had argued the matter for some time before Justice Fitzgerald in the conference room lie gained the consent of tlie defendant's counsel. Walter and Haas were two of the three unmarried men on the jury. Thaw was visibly disappointed at the turn of affairs, though he had been apprised In advance of the decision to release Messrs. Walker and Haas. It was practically at Thaw’s dictation that Mr. Walker was first accepted. Both of the jurymen seemed taken by surprise at the proceedings quickly left the court house. As the two jurors departed Haas said he had nothing to say. Walker said he never dreamed of being excused. “It took me off my feet,” he said.

TWENTY-NINE DEAD MEN

That Many of the Corpses in the Stuart Mine Has Been Recovered t So Far. Charlteston, W. Va., Feb. I.—-Tweffi-ty-nine bodies of the dead tn tne Stuart mine have been brought to the surface so far. The mine at the bottom of the shaft is a regular charnel house; mutilated bodies are so thick that rescuers found It Impossible to move about without stepping on them. -They counted twenty-six bodies, in sight Some time after reaching the bottom of the shaft one of the rescuers was overcome by fumes, and for some reason the hoisting signals could not be used, cutting off communication with their companions 584 feet above them.
