PACIFIC-BOUND FLEET Sixteen Battleships Sail for the West Coast of United States. Renounce. Third Term Verdict on Naomi Disaster Jenkins and Three Sons Indicted Democratic Conven tion at Denver July 7322 Bodies Recovered at Monongah. The Pacific-bound Atlantic fleet left Monday morning on Its Journey tnrough the Straits of Magellan, en route, as the official order reads, "for the west coast of the United Staites." The. president arrived in Hampton Roads on the Mayflower shortly after 8 u. m. His 'coming was as near that hour as possible without preceding It, if or salutes cannot be fired until 8 o'clock under the navy regulations. From the time the president's yacht cast anchor in the center of the fleet the events of the departure moved rapidly. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander-in-chief of this most notable of American peace ex peditions, repaired on board the May flower 8Q1 paid his respects to the president and was immediately fol lowed by the other flag and command ing officers of the fleet. The reception was brief and more or less Informal. The reception and the journeys of the admirals and cap tains to and from the Mayflower oc cupied upward of an hour and half an hour more was consumed In lifting anchor and getting ships In position for the start, which was made at 10 o'clock. Two hours later the. first of the long line of fighting vessels cleared the Virginia capes and turned her course to the southward. The review oi the passing fleet by the president took place near Thimble Shoal light house, ten miles down the bay, and was ended by 11:30. a. m. Shore liberty for the sailors ended at 10 a. m. Sunday and at that hour Hie enlisted force of each ship, num bering nearly 1,000 men to the com pany, was lined up at quarters to lis ten to tho reading of the articles of war. The men seemed deeply Im pressed, as they were also with more personal words which came In orders from Admiral Evans, the commander-in-chief, and from the rear admirals on board the three divisional flag ships. Every man was told what his duty was to his country, to his flag, and to his superior officers. They were cautioned to uphold the dignity of their uniforms when going ashore at South American ports and always to conduct themselves In an orderly and sober manner. Some belated stores were placed on several of the ships Sunday, a vast quantity of plum pudding going to 1he messes of the Georgia and the Vermont. Fresh meat boats placed the last supply on board the ships. "We could not take on board an other pound of provisions," said an oflicer, "unless we followed the very bad example of the Russians, who were caught by the Japanese with 8 1nch gun turrets stored with hams and powder chambers filled with caviar." Several scouting parties went ashore Sunday looking for scrubby pines to be used as Christmas trees. Nearly all were successful and the lit tle pines will be carefuly stowed away until Trinidad is reached on Christ mas eve. President Renounces Third Term. President Roosevelt will not be a candidate for a third term. All doubt on this point, was dispelled by the au thoritative statement from the White House that Mr Roosevelt still ad heres to the declaration of renuncia tion made on the night of the election three years ago. The president's statement follows: "In view of the issuance of the call for the Republican national conven tion, the president makes the follow ing statement: "On the night after election I made the following announcement: " 'I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn re sponsibility this confidence imposes liipon me, and I shall do all that In my power lies not to forfeit It. On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and a half years, and this three and a half years constftute my first term. The wise custom which Mm Ms the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomin ation.' "1 have not changed and shall not change the decision thus announced." Verdict on Naomi Mine Disaster. ' The coroner's jury investigating Ithe explosion at the Naomi mine of the 1'nited Coal company at Fay ette City, Pa., which resulted In the death of 34 miners, reported that the men came to their deaths as a result of an explosion of gas and dust which, in the jury's opinion, seems to have accumulated from 'insufficient ventilation and was Ignited from fcparks of the electric wires or an open light. The jury condemns the use of electric wires on return air currents and open lights In all gas eous mines. "We would recom mend," concludes the report, "that hereafter an air shaft be opened up where the workings reach a point 4,000 feet from the main opening. Further, that the mining commission appointed by the state governor rec ommend such amendmenti to tne mining laws, that human life will be better protected and that the present laws be more rigidly enforced." Jenkins and Three 8oni Indicted. John G. Jenkins and three sons, John O., Jr., Frank and Fred, all bankers of Brooklyn, were bonded aft er being Indicted jointly for criminal conspiracy In having illegally secured loans aggregating $947,000 from trust companies of which they were officers. The father, John G., Jr., and Frank also were Indicted for perjury In hav ing made false statements to the state department of banks. The four men were arrested, arraigned and aft er pleading not guilty held under bonds for a hearing. The Jenkinses, Independent of their banking interests, conducted the brok erage firm of Frank and J. G. Jenkins, Jr., and it was, in part, through loans to employes of this firm from the Williamsburg and the Jenkins Trust companies that the indicted men are alleged to have received, in a round about way, accommodations which as officers of the Institutions they could not lawfully obtain. The elder Jen kins is president of the First National bank of Brooklyn, but this bank is not Involved, the Indictments growing out of his earlier presidency of the Will iamsburg Trust company. Democrats Meet at Denver July 7. After deciding to hold the Democrat ic national convention at Denver and fixing date of meeting for July 7, 1908, the Democratic national com mittee entered upon a spirited debate on the propriety of accepting more of the $100,000 offered by Denver for the convention than actually needed to pay the convention expenses in that' city. The opposition to the accept ance of the contribution took the form of a resolution by Representative Clayton of Alabama declining money not actually needed for convention purposes, but after a long debate the resolution was laid on the table by a vote of 31 to 14. On the first ballot Denver received 22 votes as against 17 for Louisville, 5 for Chicago and 1 for St. Paul. Events of Current Week.

Wat One of the Model Mines of the Birmingham District Situated Near Virginia City, Where a Similar Ex plosion Two Years Ago Killed 112 Men. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 17. Advices from Yolande Indicate that about sixty men met death .by an explosion in the mines at that place early yes terday. The work of recovery Is slow, and while hundreds of miners from adjacent mining camps are pres ent to assist, It is thought that all of the dead cannot be taken out before tonight. Only twelve bodies have been recovered. Fewer than 100 men were in the mine. The cause of the explosion has net beeu officially determined. Tho mine has been pronounced free from gas by state Inspectors and it is supposed that the explosion was caused by dust. For two hours after the ex plosion It was impossible to venture even near the mouth of the mine, so hot was the air that rushed out. The explosion was below the sec ond right sub-entry. The mines go down something like 1,500 feet. There was a torrlflc explosion; the force was made known outside by the dust and timbers that were blown our. In gieat quantities, destroying small buildings nearby and landing some distance sway. There was a terrific heat near the shaft after the explosion. Officers of the mining company im mediately took steps to start a rescue party to get to the men on tho in side. The fans were started and other means employed to eliminate the had air. With'in an hour four teen men had crawled out of tho mine and their description of the Interior conditions was terrible. Several of these men were severely burned. Yolande mine is a few miles from Virginia City, where a similar explos ion occurred about two years ago, when 112 men were killed. Yolande Is thirty-live miles sout4i of Birming ham. The Yolande Coal and Coke company, owner of the mine, Is head ed by Dr. C. B. Crowe of Birmingham. The Yolande mines were among the model collieries of fhe Birmingham region. Non-union men were em ployed exclusively, but everything possible had been done to Insure the contentment of employes. Yolande is situated on a beautiful hill and all the houses are painted white with green trimmings, giving It an air of plcturesqueness and heart'hfulness un usual In mining quarters. Railroad Official Sentenced Sherorooke, Que., Dec. 17. A. H. An derson, treasurer of the Quebec Cen tral road, pleaded guilty to embezzle ment from the company and was sen tenced to five years Imprisonment. The amount of his defalcation H is expected will amount to about $185, 000. The most surprising fact about the case is that the thefts have been found to extend back over a period of eighteen years. The Quebec Cen tral is owned by English capitalists, the members of the board residing In England, and all the chief officials of the company being English, as was Anderson, who came out 25 years ago. His accounts were annually audited by a man sent from England. Last July this auditor died and his son was appointed to replace him. Soon after beginning his audit he found that things were not right. Further Investigation showed that for eighteen years Anderson had been cooking the accounts for amounts due by connecting roads and had stolen in this way an average of $10,000 per year, all of which was lost In stock gambling. Iron Works In Receiver's Hands. Hazelton, Pa., Dec. 17 The Jeans ville Iron works went into the hands of a receiver last night. Upon appli cation of James C. Haydon, the prin cipal stockholder and creditor, who is also president of the company, A. B. Jennings, general manager of the works, was appointed receiver with power to continue the business. The bill alleges total liabilities of $491, 000, Including bonded indebtedness upon which the Interest 1s fully paid, and assets, Including real estate, ma ihlnery, finished and raw product and accounts receivable, or $741,000. The reason for the application Is inability to realize quickly upon the assets, and lack of working capital. The works employ about 350 men. Lombard Denies Suicide Story. New York. Dec. 17. Louis Lom bard, the American musician, who was reported by cable dispatches from Geneva to have attempted sulcl clde at Lugane, Switzerland, where several years ago he built the Cha teau di Trevane, has sent the follow ing denial from that place: "The re ports of my losses and suicide are monumental lies. I never was richer or livelier than I am today." The re K)rts concerning his attempt' at sui cide gave as a motive extensive losses suffered by the musician In the recent financial troubles In this country. UuIb Lombnrd married the daughter of Congressman Allen of St. Louis In 1899. Soon afterwards he founded the Conservatory of Music at Utica. In 1893 he was chairman of tho Congress of the National Asso ciation of Music Teachers at 'Chicago. TAFT'S STEAMER DELAYED. May Not Reach New York Before Fri day Night or Early Saturday. On Board Steamship President Grantv Monday evening, by wireless, via Cape Race, N. F., Dec. 1C The (President Grant, which has anions her passengers Secretary of War "Mil ium H. Taft, Mrs. Taft and ton Charles, has encountered disagree able weather which has retarded its progress and will probably make the steamer a day or two lato In reach ing New York. Since sailing on Dec. 7 from Hamburg, where the secre tary came aboard, the passage has bten generally rough and the weather cold. We are due at New York on Thursday next hut are not likely to arrive In port before late Friday or Saturday morning. The Taft party is well, with the ex ception of Charles, who has been ail ing for several days during which he has had some temperature. He Is better tonight and In no danger. Secretary Taft was Interested In the announcement from the White House in which President Roosevelt reiter ated his determination not to accept a renomlnnflon next June. The news was received on board the steamer by wireless Thursday but the secretary would ,mnke no comment upon it. 1H said that he had no information on th.? political situation at home. Secretary Taft addressed a concert audience In the main saloon tonight. The topic of his talk, which was in formal, was "Russia and the Cr." Unusual Distance For Communication. New York, Dec. 17 The wireless message bringing news of Secretary TaH's party was sent, as near as can be reckoned here, when the steEmer President Grant was about 300 miles east of Cape Race. This Is an unusual distance at which to establish com munication with the Cape Itace sta tion, and it is quite possible that tho wireless story was picked up by some steamer nearer port and retransmit ted to Newfoundland, though no mention of retransmission Is made. USED MAILS TO SWINDLE. Vermont Farmers Sent Their Produce to Utica Man birt Got No Returns. Ttlca, N. Y., Dec. 17. Stephen Whltton. Jr., of this city was on trial several days last week In United States court on charge of carrying on extensive swindling operations through the malls. It was proved that Whit ton had purchased large quantities of maple Ryrup and other produce in Vermont and other sections of the country, agreeing to pay fancy prices for the same. His negotiations were carried on through the mails and he used elabor ate letter paper and gave the names of all the Utica banks as references. Many farmers and producers corres ponded with him and sent forward their products, hut they failed to re ceive any returns. The mass of evidence was so great that several days were spent in tak ing it and the jury gave a verdict of guilty within ten minutes after the case was closed. Judge Ray sent enced him to pay $300 fine and spend three months In jail. Kate McWay or Fulton, for false pension affidavits, was sent to Auburn prison for a year and one day.
