14 TRAPPED IN
MINEJY FLOOD
Water From Leaking Reservoir
Runs Into Colliery
SCORES SAVED BY WARNING
Disaster Near Uniontown, Pa. 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.
A report favorable to the proposed
ship canal from the Ohio river below
Pittsburg to Niles, ()., on Luke Erie,
was sent to the house by the commit
fee on military affairs. The report
urges the early passage of the bill and
declares that In the event of its enact
ment actual work on the canal will
begin next year with completion not
later than 1913.
...
Probe Into Mexican Rebellion.
An investigation to determine
whether any persons or organization
In the I'nli.'d States have been en
Raged In femenllng rebellion In Cuba
or Mexico was directed by the senate
when It ailoptei thf Nelson resolu
tion. Senator William Alden Smith
of Michigan will head a subcommittee
