Pumps Again Slatted and
Miners Return to
(Special to Review.)
Globe, Ariz.. Feb. 22. Tonight the
fire situation at the Interloper shaft
of the Old Dominion Copper Company
may be said to be under control, and
miners will be put back to work In the
drifts tomorrow. The work of lining
the shaft down to the 1000 level has
"been completed, and the pumps have
again been put in commission. No
further loss of life has occurred, other
than the three men. Jack James, Joe
Xarplnsky and Jack Moffltt. who lost
their lives In a brave attempt to sub
due the flames In tie oid sbaft when
the first alarm of fire was given.
Tlve men started flown into the
shaft with hose to fight the flames.
It was a foolhardy thing" to do, but the

the lives of others and saving the mine
from destruction. The draught at the

Jack Moffltt, the man next to him,
- -was almost to the coDar of the shaft.
Another moment and -a succoring hand
would have been outstretched to save
"him, but fate had decreed otherwise.
Overcome by-the deadly, gases, he lost
consciousness and tell to instant
death in the fiery depths.
James and Karpinsky, who were
further below, shared the same fate.
For a time a; faint hope was entertain
ed that they might nave reached a
place -of safety on one of the levels,
but that hope Is now abandoned.
"Within half an hour after the alarm
was given all the men on shift had
gotten -safely out of the snine.
Mine Superintendent N. S. Berray
and his assistants set about to devise
means -of confining the fire to the
shaft. m which It originated. There
are connections with the mine on so
many of the levels that the problem
was a most difficult one.
Origin of Fire Unknown
The fire Is said by some of the min
ers to have started at the ninth level
of the-old Interloper shaft. The shaft
was dismantled months ago, and the
only purpose It served was as a man
wav and for ventilation. It Is suppos
ed that some miner -who ate his lunch
at the station, on returning to his
work, carelessly left a lighted candle
behind and that it ignited the timbers.
Probably the origin will never be ex
actly known. Evidently the flames
had gained some headway when dls-
covered, as smoke and gas was noticed
in Darts of the mine distant from the
burning shaft before a general alarm
was given.
Danger Is Passed.
Globe, Ariz., Feb. 22. A decided
change for the better has taken place
In the Old Dominion mine. The dan-

ARCHBSHOP
RELAND
Addresses Kansas Cily
Audience of 15,000
People
AMERICA IS THE LIGHT
"The Republic of Washing
ton" Is Leader In World's
Kansas City. Feb. 22. Archbishop
Ireland, of St. Paul, addressed an au
dience of 1C.000 people in this city to
night upon the subject, "The Republic
or Washington."
The Archbishop was tho guest of the
city on this occasion, and made a mas
terful eort. He spoke as follows:
The subject of the address of Arch
bishop Ireland was "The Republic if
Washlnston." He said in part:
Democracy has won in America;
and through America it has won in
the whole world. America is truly
the providential nation in this new
era of the world's history. I believe
in providential nations. Even as I be
lieve that God rules over men and
nations, so do I believe that a divine
nation has been assigned to the Re
public of the United States. The mis
sion Is. to prepare the world, by ex
ample and moral Influence, for the
universal reign of human liberty and
human rights. America does not live
for herself alone; she holds In her
keeping the destinies of humanity.
No Monroe Doctrine confines her
democracy within Atlantic and Pa
cific shores. Even In Washington
today, the spirit of America, borne to
their homes by the soldiers pf La
layette and Ilochambeau has nastenr
cd tho Revolution of France. Therl
Indeed liberty was defeated" at first
by the wild excesses of her own cham
plons; but she never afterwards
ceased her struggles; and today
France is a well established Republic.
Meanwhile other countries of "Europe
were being influenced by the exam
pie of America; democracy was grad
ually but surely leavening their la
sxitutions. Spain and Italy have
reached tho very cqnflnes of the re
publican regime. Germany elects her
parliament, which a .Hohenzollern
fears and obeys; in Great Britain and
Ireland the suffrage Is almost -univer
sal; In Belgium It is entirely so; and
now Russia is yielding to iropular
clamor and adopting a constitution to
take the place of irresponsible au
tocracy.
And far beyond Europe does democ
racy speak. In Japan a representa
tive parliament divides the supreme
Tower with the once deified Mikado,
srhile China and Persia are hastening
to adopt a. similar form of sovern
ment. And wherever democracy reigns
America reigns; tor America was
democracy's first home, and it is from
the fullness of its life In America
that It has spread its charms across
and oceans to the furthermost ends
of the earth.
It behooves us, fellow Americans,
to consider well our responsibilities,
Xever did responsibilities such as ours
rest upon a people; never was there
given to a people a country such as
Is given to us, and never did tho wel
fare of a country depend so absolutely
upon the patriotism of a people, as
the welfare of America depends upon
the patriotism of its people.
Let us understand and realize the
momentus fact that the life of the
Republic,- lis growth and welfare. Its
aspirations and hopes are in the hands
of the people, dependant to a su
preme degree upon their will and their
actions. This Is the result of popular
suffrage, the result of the, vital prin
ciple of the republic that all its cltl
zens are, one and all. monarchs en
titled to speak Imperatively before
the electrical urn and. there to de
cide who shall enact laws, who shall
execute them, to determine In effect
what the laws shall be under which
the republic is to prosper or to decay.
Patriotism if ever there was mean
ing to the word, let there be mean
ing to it today In America; if ever
It voiced the deepest throbbtngs of
hearts, let it voice them today In
America.
I believe in the perpetuation of the
Republic of Washington; I believe In
lts'evzr Increasing granduer with its
ever Increasing yearsr because I be
lieve in the enduring patriotism of the
people of America?5 I do not close
my eyes to the perils that confront ,us
perils that confront all social organ
isms, perils that confront !n a special
manner those begotten of democracy

REBELLIOUS COSSACKS
GIVE OP THE FIGHT.
Ekaterinodar, Russia, Feb.
22. The mutinous Cossacks at
Glaginskaia have, surrendered
Co the authorities after having
been subected to bombard
ment, and delivered up the
chief agitators and the regi
mental colors'. It is Impossible
(6 ascertain what casualties oc
curred. Us -we shall overcome providence
guarding our destinies, and ourselves
doing to the utmost our share in love
and labor to maintain our glorious
institutions.
America is the Issue; democracy Is
tho Issue. How much there Is to fire
tour patriotism. The eyes, of the world
are upon us, wondering what the ver
lict of historv shall be.
Let the country always elect as Its
guardians Its best and worthiest sons;
let voters seek them out and grte
them honor. Incapable men should
rot be chosen; still less, dishonest
fend Immoral men. The party that
f.laces on its ticket dishonest names
fehould be overwhelmed In Inglorious
jdefeat, and taught the stern lesson
'that insult is never offered with im
punity to the sacredness and purity of
the Republic.
Care should be taken that foreigners
choosing America as their home be
provaded with the spirit of our in
stitutions, be made Americans in mind
and heart. Efforts to concentrate
immigrants in social groups and to
retard their Americanization, should
be steadily frowned down. There are
In America self-constituted leaders of
foreign born citizens who speak of
Americanization as a term of re
proach; with such men public opinion
should deal severely. Nor should
immigrants be prematurely authorized
to vote. Due respect for American
citizenship otght to guard against
reckless extentlon of It to men coming
to us from other lands. No one should
be invested with the franchise until
a sufficient residence in the country
has given him full opportunity to un
derstand Its institutions and laws. No
encouragement must be given to social
or political organizations or metheods
which perpetuates in this country for-
eing ideas and customs.
While we seek to Americanize Immi
grants, may it not be well to guard
some Americans against being foreign
ized. They are not Americans, ex
cept inasmuch as they draw their gold
irom America, wno colonize the so
called American quarters In the capi
tals of Europe. Nor are they Amer
icans who glory In importing foreign
fashions of language and dress, and
who are willing to pay treble prices
for the ornaments of home or person
merely becauso these ornaments are
of foreign fabrication. They are sure
ly not Americans who covet, above
all that is American, foreign titles for
their fortunes and their daughters.
There is room among Americans for
the work of Americanization.
Personal freedom, personal Initia
tive, untrammelled personal action
unlimited only by the rights of others
and tho security of the public weal,
"these are the vital elements of Amer
ican democracy and of American
prosperity. Let them ever be held
sacred, and America lives and reigns.

CINCINATI BANKER'S SUIT
Brings to Light a Big Sensation $5,-
000,000 In Securities From $10,000.
Cincinnati, Feb. Z1. Sensational
charges are made in a suit filed In the
"United States Circuit Court today by
attorneys for Rudolpr Kleyboite, a
Cincinnati banker, seeking an investi
gation of the Miami and Erie Trans
portation Company; known as the
"Electric Mule."
The charge Is that financiers of
Cleveland floated $2,000,000 In bonds
and $3,000,000 In stocks on the sole
strength of $10,000 paid-in capital
stock in that company, and that these
stocks and bonds being placed on the
market were taken in good faith by
hundreds of innocent hrrestors In Cin
cinnati and elsewhere.
Banker Kleyboite bring3 his action
en behalf of all the creditors of the
company. Including the holders of
bonds. The pith of the action is found
In the allegation that these defend
ants presented to themselves $2,990,
000 of the capital stock of the Miami
& Erie Company, which was issued to
them. as paid-up stock, but for which
they made no payments, and on the
strength of which the company caus
ed $2,000,000 in bonds to be issued,
and to contract other debts.
The petition asks that tho defend
ants bo compelled to pay par for that
stock, and that the -proceeds be applied
to the debts of the' company. There is
pending in the Cleveland court a suit'
to assess the liability against the stock
holders on whom the original holders
are alleged to have unloaded.

LAW

Committee
SLAPS SENATOR DEPEW
Says He Did'nt Earn Sal
ary - Hands insurance
Dept. One
New York, Feb. 22. The committer
appointed at the last session of tbt
New Yoik Legislature to investigate
the life insurance companies made
its report today.
No substantial amplification of the
powers of the State insurance depart
ment seem necessary, according to the
committee, which holds that most of
the evils which have been disclosed
would have been impossible had there
been a vigorous performance of the
duties already laid upon the Insur
ance department.
Remedial legislation recommended
by tho committee provides for the
safeguarding of the rights of policy
holders in mutual companies in the
election of directors; recommends
that stock companies be given author
ity to retire their stock and become
mutual companies, but that such mu
tualization shall not be compulsory;
various regulations are urged to pre
vent unwise investments and improper
syndicate operations; the sale of pro
hibited securities within five years is
advocated; recommendation, for limit
ing new business to $150,000,000 per
year is made.
The committee favors the prohibi
tion of contributions by Insurance
companies for political purposes; lob
bying is condemned, and wise and
economical management Is urged, but
the committee does not deem it advis
able that the Legislature should at
tempt to prescribe the expenditures of
life insurance companies.
The committee says accounts of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company
should be thoroughly examined in or
der to ascertain the extent to which
moneys have been misapplied and the
responsibility for any misapplication
which may be shown may be deter
mined. Concerning the New York Life Com
pany, the committee found its trans
actions with Andrew Hamilton showed
extraordinary abuses.
The syndicate operations of the
Equitable and James H. Hyde; the re
lations between the society and Kuhn,
Loeb & Co.. as also the $50,000,000
Union Pacific pool under the manage
ment of E. H. Harrlman. Jacob H.
Schlff and James Stlllman, the com
mittee holds, was clearly an improper
transaction for an Insurance com
pany. The payment of $20,000 a year to
Senator Depew by the Equitable, the
committee holds, was not warranted
testimony as to the services rendered
by Senator Depew not appearing to be
sufficient to justify such payment.
The committee finds that, in spite
nf the Irregularities shown, there Is no
reason to question the solvency of the
Mutual Life Company, the New York
Life Company nor the Equitable Life
Insurance Company.

VISITOR IN DOUGLAS
Tells of Bnildinq
Miles of New Canal
In Sonora
Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 22. (Special)
"The development of the Bablspe
and San Bernardino valleys by tho
Mormon colonists is of much Interest
to Douglas," said Bishop Brown, "as
Douglas is the natural market of tho
two valleys and we now buy our sup
plies here.
"The colony at Morales has about
480 people, and thnt of Oaxaca about
250. At Colonia Morales there arc
facilities for 100 more people and we
are now opening up this new land1
with two canals. One canal, abont
five miles long, we havo about half
done already, and will finish within
two months. It will irrigate 600
acres of new land which will be most
ly planted in fruit trees, with some
alfalfa.
"The other canal will bo ten miles
long and will be finished by this com
ing fall. It will Irrigate S000 or 4000
acres of the new land, which will bo
devoted principally to grain. Peo
ple are gradually drifting In and our
people are gradually buying up tho
land of the Bablspe and San Bernar
dino valleys. There Is in tho two val
leys land enough to support a popula
tion of about 15.000 or 20.000 people.
When we get all this ground It will
mean much for Douglas. Tho valleys
are only about fifty,, miles from this
market,' which must continue to bo
cur place of supply. s
"The last winter floods did our pec-'
pie about $65,000 damages, but we aro
not discouraged, and the efforts of tho
colonists are being exerted to com
plete the great canal work under way,
which will put us away ahead in
wealth and population to what wo
were before the Hoods. We havo re
built our houses, above high water
mark, and the ground we have thus
gained we will hold.
"The land of the two valleys is
very fine and rich, and there is ample
water in tho Bablspe without the use
of reservoirs. We will use reservoirs
In the San Bernardino."
