The white men, who are suffering from sore backs as the result of a ' severe chastisement with switches, are: Police Judge C. W. Rucker, Lesel Woods, former city marshal; Press Fralick, who occasionally acted as deputy city marshal, and Grace Robertson, a saloonporter. The connection between the whipping of the white men and the negroes and the tobacco war in western Kentucky is not apparent and no one has been able to offer any explanation. None of the victims was known to be either .active or influential in opposition to the farmers pooling movement. No attempt was made at destroying stored tobacco. After the whipping had been administered the mob awakened County Judge W. L. Crumbaugh and warned him that his immunity from similar punishment . hereafter depended entirely upon the friendship he was expected to show the tobacco growers He was told that his organization. gray hairs alone were responsible for his being spared this time. The only tobacco man visited was J. M. Bradshaw, who is a tobacco prizer for one Mr. of the growers associations. Bradshaw was ordered to close up a billiard hall which he owns. Washington. Prosecutions are to be instituted by the. government against the Southern Pacific company and against certain officials of that on allegation railway organization that they paid rebates to shippers. Information which is to be a basis for these prosecutions was obtained by Franklin K. Lane, of the interstate commerce commission, last autumn in the course of an extensive inquiry made by him into the affairs of the Southern Pacific company. By direction of the interstate commerce Commissioner commission, Lane visited the Pacific coast and for several weeks conducted his inquiries into the alleged charges of rebating which had reached the commission. Commissioner Lanes report of his investigation, including a transcript of the testimony taken by him in a formal hearing as an interstate commerce .commissioner, was made public on Saturday. The report has been approved by the commission and a transcript of the report and of the evidence adduced at the hearing has been transmitted to the department of Justice for "such prosecutions under the law as may be warranted.

Trouble is Outcome of Demand for and Shorter Hours, Higher-Wageand Attempt to Operate Mine Independently of Western Federation. s Washington. By direction of the president. Acting Secretary Oliver on Thursday ordered a company of infantry from Fort Gibbon, in Alaska, to Fairbanks, in that territory, to preserve order during the mining strike in that section. Telegrams from Fairbanks to the attorney general stated that open air mass meetings are being held by the striking miners, and that threats of violence have been made. The distance from Fort Gibbon to Fairbanks is 155 miles, and the troops will be carried by sleds over the route, which is said to be a very good one. If there is urgent necessity for the presence of the soldiers at Fairbanks they can get there in four or five days. But under ordinary conditions the trip takes six or seven days. Fairbanks is in the center of a mining country, with a population of or 8,000. Persons in Washington familiar with the conditions existing at Fairbanks say the trouble is the outcome of a strike a year or more ago for higher wages and shorter hours for miners. This the operators, however, refused, and their determination to operate their mines independently of the Western Federation of Miners may, it is feared, lead to trouble. Ace dent in Richest Asphaltum Iril the United States Causes Mine Two Deaths and $100,000 Damage. Grand Junction, Colo. In an explosion of dust in the mine of the Gilson Asphaltum Mix company at Dragon, Utah, morning, two Wednesday Greeks were instantly killed, and the mine, one of the richest of its kind in the United States, was damaged to the extent of $100,000. The explosion was caused, it is believed, by one of the Greek miners dropping a match on the floor and igniting the gilsonite dust. The bodies of the two men have not been recovered, and it is not believed that they will ever be, as they are probably cremated. Water thrown on the flames seem to add to the fury of the fire, and there is no hope of saving the mine in that way. More than 100 men are now working, trying to smother the flames, but are meeting with indifferent success. There are 200 men employed in the mine. The night shift of 103 men had just got out of the mine, and the last of them were but 100 yards distant when an explosion occurred. The miners rushed to the entrance, and there were two more explosions, more violent than the first. Windows in the cabins about the mine were broken, and there was consternation in the camp. 7,-0- WANTS UNCLE SAM TO LEAD. Windstorm Strikes Mississippi and Texas, Ten Being Killed and Many Injured. Districts Visited by Disastrous Twister Were Sparsely Settled or the Loss of Life Would Have Been Much Heavier. Meridian,' Miss. Three small Mississippi towns were practically demolished by a'tornado on Friday. Reports of the number killed range from six to ten, with the smaller number probably correct. Mossville, Service and Sovo are the towns destroyed. They are all in Jones county, and all are very small, being merely a handful of scattered dwellings. The tornado struck them about noon, and in most instances is reported to have carried the buildings in its path completely off the lots on which- they stood. Nearby fields were covered with wreckage, and the branches of trees were littered with small household articles. Mexican Miners Attempt to Kill Every American at the Santa Rosa Mine, in Sonora, Old Mexico. Tucson, Ariz.

Tom Fagin, the foreman, and his wife were in their home, but the dynamite failed to ignite. The superintendents office was demolished, but he was out of the building and escaped. Governor Torres has been notified and rurales under Commander are already on the scene. Eighteen Mexicans are under arrest at the mine. The attempt to destroy the Americans is believed to be the work of sympathizers with the revolutionists uDder arrest at Los Angeles, who believe the prisoners are being persecuted by Americans. There had been no trouble at the mine previously, and no other cause is conceivable. Kos-terlis- Four Killed at Tyler. Tyler, Tex. A tornado swept over the principal residence portion of Tyler at 4 oclock Friday morning, causing the death of four persons. The dead are: C. A. Francis, aged 28; his Mose child. wife and Lee, a negro, aged 80. Francis was agent for the Dallas News. His dead tody was found 100 yards from his wrecked home, and the body of his child was found in the street. Mrs. Francis body was in the wreckage of the building. Six persons were seriously injured. They are Irwin Franklin, Mrs. Franklin and four Franklin children. One of the children is expected to die. They were caught in the wreckage of their home. Twelve buildings were wrecked. The tornado came up from the southwest and tore a path through Tyler 10 feet wide. Member of English Parliament Advo-cate- s Use of Silver Bullion.
