Cloud burst Inundates Dunbar, Pa., Carry Away Many Houses; No Live Loat. Fourteen men lost their lives when Evans mine No. 2, of the Suburba Coal company at Evans Station, six miles from Uniontown, Pa., was flooded. The dead men are: Andy Valpo, John Rosco, Michael Smith, J. R. Gal lery, Adam Smith, William Mosburg, Andy Bollock, Michael Fellsh, Frank Layoff, John Kubizena, Andy Dolicsky, Russell Gardner, Fierce Solomon and Charles Levensky. When the waters from the leaking Cool Spring reservoir came rushing down the mountainside sixty-four men were in the mine. The water was seen going In the manway of the mine by William Genear, the pit boss; Solo mon Wilson, a machinist, and Joe For dyce, who were outside the mine. They rushed in the mine aud passed the warning along that the mine was being flooded. The fourteen who per ished were 4,000 feet back in the mine in what is known as the "sump" and the word either failed to reach them or they did not heed the warning. The water rushed Into the miuo witn sum torce tnrougu me inaiivmy that a hole seventy-five feet in diameter was carved out. The wives and families of the miners gathered at the main opening and picking up pieces of wood, stones and everything that they could they threw them into the manway to keep the waters from rushing into the nar row manway. The rubbish which was Intended to keep the water from getting Into the mine hindered the miners who were rushing to the outside for safety. The men were compelled to wade through water up to their necks. Officials of the mine say it will be Blxty days before the water can bo gotten out of the mine so the bodies can be recovered. An investigation of the disaster will be made by the Aiistro-Iliingarlan au thorities. J. W. Buttermore, superintendent ot the mine, issued the following state ment: "The accident was one which could not have been guarded against. The mine was considered sale. It was safe, but we had no means of forele'l ing the cloudburst. We have done everything to safeguard our luen. These precautions were made useless by the element... It would have been impossible for the men to have gotten out alive had they been warned. They were working too far back from tiiti entrance and the whole affair took place in k'ss than fllieeii minutes." The flood death list in the mining region totals perhaps twenty-six. Four teen died in the Superba mine, ole) man was drowned in Monongalieli, three are Missing at Lenient, one is dead at Wheeling, W. Va., and one at Ellenwood, three are missing at Smock aud two at Linn, I'a., and a driver was drowned near Clarksburg, W. Va. SENATE PASSES EXCISE TM BILL Measure Went Through House Some Time Ago PLACES LEVY ON INCOMES i.a Folleltc's Wool Revision Bill Also Approved, a Notable Victory For Wisconsin Man Work of Congress. The senate after about eight honni' consideration of the hou.,o exci.-u bill passed that measure by a vote of 117 to 18. The bill is the one reported anil passed by the house and extend.) t ho corporation tax to Individuals and copartnerships. It is an income tax in disguise and levies 1 per cent or the rale now im posed on corporations on all incomes from other business in excess ot $j,0U0. The word "business" Includes all professions and other business yielding au Income of $.".0()0. The Democrats in the senate were reduced to a cliuico between the excise bill and a straight income tax. It re quired a party caucus for them to de cide what they would do. Tho caucus declared iu favor of an income tax. but added that in view of tho fact that the ratification of two states was yet necessary to the constitutional con vention legalizing the income tax they would support the I'nderwood special excise bill. Senator liorau of Idaho brought In an income tax which he olfered as a substitute for the excise measure, but the sub was voted down. Senator Fletcher of Florida added an amendment to tho bill extending the exemptions under the present cor poration tax law to the new excise law. This was adopted without a di vision. It provides that religious and fraternal organizations ami benevolent societies when incorporated shall not be subject to the tax. La Follette's Wool Bill Passed. After a struggle in the senate which lasted twelve hours Senator La Fol lette again emerged as the successful champion of tariff revision. The little Wisconsin senator forced the adoption by the senate of the woolen schedule of La Follette's that was introduced by him at the last ses sion and passed by the senate. This was the measure that served as tho basis of compromise last ses sion with the Democrats of tho house and the Indications are it will again be used by Leader I'nderwood and his colleagues In sending a wool revision bill to the senate. The La Follette bill as passed pro vides for the duty of ;t."i per cent on raw wool with duties ranging from 4tl to ."." per cent on the manufacture:! of wool. La Follette snatched victory out of the air at the very moment when the Republican regulars seemed to have touted the Democrats. Senator Pen rose, chairman of the linanco commit tee. Hire the Democrats and pro gressives into contusion by Intro ducing a wool revision bill based on Undines of the tariff board. This Penrose bill was adopted after a bitter light as a sub for the I'nder wood house bill by a vote of 34 to This vote, however, should have been t:iive;i in committee and La Folleuo, seizing upon tills opportunity, put up the bill which he hud introduced last year. The 'vote on the La Foilotte bill as a sub for the Penrose bill was 39 to 27. All the Democrats and Insur gent Republicans voted for the bill. ... Senate Republicans Pats Sugar Bill. Republicans in the senate passed a compromise bill revising the sugar schedule. The bill abolishes the Dutch standard and eliminates the refine's' differential and reduces the duty on the commercial grades of sugar. Senator Lodge was the author of the bill that passed, but it was modified by an amendment proposed by Senator Hristow of Kansas which reduced the duty proposed In Mr. Lodge's bill from $1.70 to $l.ti0 per inn pounds, the rate nt which It was finally passed. The bill was passed by a vote of 37 to 2.". Every regular Republican and every progressive Republican voted for It is well as two Democrats Foster and Thornton of Louisiana. ... Report Favors Canal.
