Burke and Mace Are Overwhelmed by Huge Masses That Slide Down Mountain.

FAMILIES TRAPPED IN SLEEP Snowslides That Dostroy Property and People Started by Chinook Winds and Warm Rains. Sixty lives have bien lost, it is feared, in two great snowslides which brought dismay to the .mining towns of the rich Coeur d'Alene district in Northern Idaho. At 10:35 o'clock the other nis'it a snowslide swept down the Mountain, striking the little town of Mace and Lurying twenty-five houses and their sleeping occupants in a mass of snow and ice at the bottom of the canyon. At 0:30 a. m. the next day, another slide rushed down on the town of Burke, crushing a score of houses under thousands of tons of earth and snow. There is fear that the number of dead at Burke may be even larrr than that at Mace. Because of the larger population of Burke, about 900, the houses were closer together. Mothers hauled their children to the side hills; brothers dragged little sisters to places of safety, and when the slide struck many of the homes were deserted by fear-stricken women and children, while the bread providers were rescuing injured at the stricken sister town. Old-timers In the Coeur d'Alene district had been sounding daily warnings to Mace, Burke and Black Bear that because of the record depth of the snow, slides were imminent. For sixteen winters these towns have escaped devastating slides and so strong had the confidence of the miner residents been that their homes and families were safe that no precautions had been taken. The little -mining town of Mace lies between precipitous mountain sides, a straggling line of cottages in the creek bottoms, bisected by the lines of the Northern -Pacific and Oregon. Railroad and Navigation Company. Its one industry is mining and its big mine is the Standard. With scarce a dividing line perceptible the towns of Black Bear, Gem, Mace and Burke form a long string of houses for six miles. Mace is divided into two parts, known as Upper and Lower Mace, respectively. The catastrophe occurred in Lower Mace, where dwelt about 300 miners employed in the Standard mines. Most of these men were unmarried and lived in the Hotel Standard. Reports are that this hotel was in the path of the avalanche. Though first reports of the disaster were that the town of Gem, Idaho, a mile above Mace on the same side of the canyon, had been overwhelmed, later news indicates that the town escaped. The slide was half a mile long and thirty feet deep. Thirty-five Italians, sleeping In .in outfit car on the Northern Pacific siding, who were swept away with lusir car in the bottom of the canyon, used the tools In their car to dig themselves out. Chinook winds and warm rains started the Burke snowslide, which increased in velocity with every foot down the mountain until it gained such headway and force that only blinding mist and a roaring warned the score of families of miners of its approach. Surface trams were crushed and twisted and cabins were ground to atoms. S200,000 BONDS ON 720 PLANT. Jtllnoiaan'a Salt la Indiana Hevenls Ca 'Company's Holding. The suit of D. E. Brooks, of Illinois, to prevent the disposal of land which he deeded in connection with the purchase of $73,000 of bonds issued by the Rushville Gas, Heat and Water Company, has developed some sensational facts in respect to that corporation. It has been found that thextotal holdings of the company are worth not to exceed $720, yet on the plant of this alleged value it issued $200,000 of bond3 and sold $73,000 of the issue to Brooks, taking in exchange real estate in Chicago and some farm lands in Illinois. The corporation was formed with Owen L. Carr as president and Fred Carroll and John and Henry Walters as directors. Bonds were issued and a mortgage covering the $720 gas plant in favor of the Farmers Bank of Rushville for $100,000 was madej The Farmers' Bank became merely the payer of the interest. Brooks bought $75,000 of these bonds on the supiosItion that the bank was the trustee. He now wants the court to prevent the sale of the property he traded. FIND EDUCATOR POISONED.

URGES YOUNGER NAVY. . Taft Asks Congress to Permit Officers' Earlier Promotion. The need of young blood in, the commands of the navy was the keynote of a special message which President Taft the other day sent to Congress urging legislation for improving the personnel of the fighting force and for remedying what the President termed "an abnormal condition, the result of past legislation." Under conditions now existing, the Piesident declared, the promotion of officers of the lower grades is stagnated, t the great detriment of the service and the country, and because nearly every officer who retains his health is jJlowed to pas3 through the various grades and be retired as rear admiral the greater number of commanding officers have had inadequate experience. Under the existing system officers now being trained in the command of battle shfps and armored cruisers cou'd not se'-ve as flag officers on account of their short time on the active list after reaching that grade. To remedy these conditions the Pre ident indorsed a bill which had been prepared by Secretary Meyer, wh'.ch would promote officers to the grade of rear admiral at an average age of 31 to 53 years and to captain at the average age of 46 to 47. These changes, the President said, In his opinion would not provide men young enough for the best success in a fleet engagement, should war come; but he felt they were a decided improvement, and he intimated that at some other time it might be advisable to make even further reductions in the ages.

AD WOLGAST CHAMPION. Defeat of Battling Nelson Brings Him Light-Weight Title. Battling Nelson is not the durable Dane any more. The conqueror of Joe Gans was forced to relinquish his hold on the lightweight boxing championship in forty- rounds to Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee at' Point Richmond, Cal. Nelson was not counted out, but probably would have been in that session had not Referee Smith called a halt and awarded the fight and title to Wolgast. When the battle was stopped the Dane wa3 in a pitiable condition. One of his eyes were completely closed and the other parts of his face were swollen to twice their size." Besides he was tottering around the ring too weak to hold up hi3 hands. This was the first time that Nelson, since he sprang into the limelight In 1003 by beating Geo. Memsic In Milwaukee, was beaten to a standstill at his own game of slugging. He met his master at the identical stylo which won' him the lightweight championship of the world and also made him famous. ; Wolgast's victory was complete and decisive. Had Referee Smith not stopped the contest and it had gone the limit he would have been given the verdict. He had the belter of nearly every round and during the course of the forty rounds struck probably five blows to Nelson's three in every session. Wolgast has been fighting exactly four years, having entered the game in 1906 In Cadillac. Mich., where ho was born Feb. 8, 1SSS.

The building trades unions, which met in a separate hall from the central labor body, favored having the general strike called on Tuesday, and the more conservative action of the other body was taken only after six hour3 of hot debate. The general strike, which every one fears will paralyze the city, was put off until Saturday in the hope that the Rapid Transit Company can in the meantime be 'brought to arbitrate its differences with its employes. From almost every pulpit in the city Sunday "the cry went up for the street car company to submit to arbitration and end the struggle which Is resulting In the daily loss of human life and the destruction of thousands of dollars worth of property. In every Roman Catholic Church a letter was read from Archbishop Ryan urging parents to keep their children off the streets dur ing the trouble, as much of the rioting has been started by young boys. For a day or so until this time there had been less rioting and the order of the director of public safety that wag ons and vehicles of all kinds must stop carryingt passengers had resulted in more cars being run and in their being better patronized.

CHICAGO. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of

Chicago trade says: "Some irregularity in operations is due to th holiday this week, severe storms in the west and hindrances to transportation, but there is sustained activity among the heavy producers and easier monetary conditions are re flected by increasing bank deposits and a lower record of trading defaults, the latter indicating an improved pxsition of credits over recent reports." "Prospects of better weather bring relief after the long winter to various interests and new demands in manufacturing and distribution become more varied, although the developments include none of striking importance as to contracts for future execution. 'Price tendencies for factory supplies to seme extent are seen to be easier, and this encourages more attention to plans for construction and railroad need3. There Is, however, some conservatism where large financial commitments are involved and a more pronounced disposition to economize costs of production. Outputs of factories in the Chicago district steadily rise and this causes notable forwarding and an ample movement cf raw and finished products. x "Bank clearings, $255.281,166, arc 9.3 per cent over those of the corresponding week in 1909 and compare with $259,16S,343 in 1508. "Failures reported In the Chicago district number 21, as against 19 last week, 24 in 190D and 23 inJIOOS. Those with liabilities over $3,000 number 4. as against 5 last week, 6 in 1909 and 14 in 190S." NEW YORK. Trade reports are rather' more irregular. Stormy, cold weather over wide areas of country apparently has retarded the expansion of the spring jebblng trade, but nevertheless the distribution has kept up well, in advance of last year In fact, and distinct gains in the volume of house trade are reported at. many points. Retail trade has been restricted and this in turn operates against re-order trade in spring goods with jobbers. Industries continue active,, but there Is rather more evidence of friction In some lines, particularly in railroad labor. Business failures in the United States for the week ending with Feb. 24 were 234, as against 2G9 last week, 244 In the corresponding week of 1909, 311 in 1908, 194 In 1907 and 180 in 1906.
