FAMILY OF SIX BURIED ALIVE AT
CRIPPLE CREEK.
CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo., April 9.-The
family of James Smith, consisting of the
father and mother and four children,
•wore instantly killed in their home to
right by the sliding of the huge dump
of the Granite mine. The Smith resi
dence was located just btlow the base
of the dump. The recent snows had
Eoftened the dump so that the top sud
denly slid down, crushing the house and
burying its inmates. Hundreds of men
are now digging away the dirt and rock,
but it is not thought possible that any of
the victims will be found alive. *

.NATIONAL OFFICERS ANXIOUS
Fear That tin- rremen I in the
Brazil Mine.* Mean* the Begin
ning- of a Long and Cost
ly Tie-Up.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 9.—The national
executive committee uf the United Mine
Workers continued its work all day.
According to a statement given out at
national headquarters the condition of
affairs in the block coal fields of Indiana
is extremely critical and all the mines
are closed.
The powder question is still the cause
of all the trouble, and it is said that the
miners are unanimous in their attitude.
The clause in the agreement between the
miners and the operators recently made
concerning the price of powder has prac
tically precipitated a strike at Linton. A
strike which violates any articles of«an
agreement will not receive the support
of the national organization, and a stiike
among the block coal men may encjur
age the bituminous coal miners, who
have already evinced a tendency to evade
certain regulations contained in the
agreement reached at Terre Haute.
WITH ANXIOUS EYES.
The situation in Indiana is attracting
the attention of the national officers as
sembled here, and they await the out
come with anxiety. President Van Horn
of the bituminous miners' organizati.n,
was expected to make a report on the
conditions of the bituminous fields this
afternoon, but failed to arrive. The offi
cers of the Block Miners' association
were in consultation with the operators
at Brazil this afternoon. Clay county
contains nearly all the block mines in
the state and the miners number neaily
3,000 members.
The national committee tonight wired
the committee of miners at Brazil that
it could not advise them to sign contracts
unless the powder question was eliminat
ed. This telegram was read at a joint
meeting of miners and operators at Bra
zil and caused an adjournment.
The operators refuse to recede. A
strike is now on and a long lockout is
predicted.
Miners say they agreed to accept last
year's scale as provided for by the Co
lumbus agreement, which the operators
refuse to concede, while the operators
contend that the miners are on a strike
by refusing to accept the scale as agreed
upon in District 11.
POMP AND CEREMONY.
IX STALL ATI OX OF GRAXD DUKE OF
aiECKLEXBI RG-SCHWEItrX.
SCHWERIN, April 9.—The grand
duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Fried
rich Franz IV., who attained his major
ity today, made his state entry into this
city today. The weather was magnifi
cent. His royal highness was received at
the railroad station by Grand Duke Jo
hann Albrecht, who has been regent ot
the grand duchy, and the grand duke's
guardian during his minority, and by a
number of princely guests. The principal
oihcials of the grand duchy were also
present. The procession passed through
the gaily decorated streets which were
lined with school children, to the town
hall where the burgomaster delivered a
speech of welcome. The grand duke,
in reply, expressed his hearty apprecia
tion of the warm welcome accorded him.
There was a grand deception subsequent
ly at the castle where the record of the
accession of the new ruler was signed.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION TO START
SPECIAL, TRAIN FROM CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, April 9.—The National Good
Roads association will run a train over
the Illinois Central railway system,
leaving this city early next week. Aside
from Pullman sleepers the train will have
a full equipment of modern road machin
ery. Good roads conventions will be held
and pieces of sample roads constructed
at New Orleans, Natchez, Vicksburg. Ox
ford, Greenville, Grenada, Jackson, Miss..
and Jackson, Term. Arrangements are
making for holding conventions also at
Memphis, Owensboro, Louisville, Cairo
and several points in Illinois. The rail
roads have made special low rates for
these conventions. The commercial
bodies and citizens are very much inter
ested, and the movement promises to be
of much industrial importance.
KAISER WARMLY GREETS

BERLIN, April 9.—At the reception to
day of the British special mission to an
nounce the death of Queen Victoria and
the accession of Edward VII., Emye.or
William wore a British admiral's uni
form with the insignia of the Order of
the Garter. After the formal ceremonies
were over his majesty conversed affably
with each member of the embassy and
then conveyed them into an adjacent
room md presented them to the empress.
The members of the mission aro the
errperor's guefts while here. The cere
mony of conducting the mission to the
palace was imposing. The emporor sent
them three elaborately ornamented court
carriages, with gorgeously liveried coach
men and lackeys. The military detach
ment escorting the mission was from
the regiment of which the late Queen
Victoria was honorary colonel. The po
lice were much in evidence and kept
the streets clear of people a hundred
yards above and below the Hotel Bris

BRITISH FORCE HAS
TAKEN PIETERSBURG
REGARDED AS AN IMPORTANT CAP-
TURK—B UK US ALSO TAKE
SOME PRISONERS.
LONDON, April 9.—Lord Kitchenor, re
porting to the war office under date of
Pretoria, April 8, says:
"I'lumer has occupied Pietersburg with
slight opposition. He captured two loco
motives and thirty-nine trucks. He took
sixty prisoners, capturing a seven-pound
er and destroying 210,100 cartridges, 1,000
rounds of seven-pounder ammunition and
a considerable amount of powder and
dynamite."
The capture of Pietersburg is regarded
here as important. The place is the
terminus of the railroad and has been the
capital of the Boer government since
the evacuation of Pretoria. The whole
northern railway is now in the hand 3of
the British.
According to Lord Kitchener's dispatch,
only one officer and one man were killed.
The Boers evacuated the town during
the night prior to Plumer's arrival, alter
blowing up two trucks laden with am
munition. Lord Kitchener further re
ports the capture of sixteen prisoners,
fifty horses and the depot ot war stores
at Boshmanskop, Orange river colony.
As an offset the commander-in-chiet
reports that a detatchment of a hundred
men of the Fifth lancers and imperial
yeonjenary were attacked by 400 Boers
to the northward of Aberdeen, Cape
Colony, and that after several hours'
fighting the British were surrounded and
captured, with the exception of twenty
five who succeeded in making their
escape.
NEW YORK, April 9—Dispatches from
Holland, says the Tribune's London
correspondent, revive the rumor that
President Kruger is bent upon visiting
the United States during the summer.
Private information from the Hague
leads to the belief that his physician is
strongly opposed tc any course of
action which will subject him to excite
ment. Mr. Kruger's general health is
fair, but he has weak heart action, and
has been warned that he must live quiet
ly. The talk about his American Journey
comes from Boer sympathizers In Hol
land, who are unwilling to admit that he
hHS exhausted the resources of diplomacy
and lias nothing in reserve.
AGUINALDO SIGNS
PEACE MANIFESTO
XOT OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED, BUT
IS BELIKVEO TO BE TRIE
MORE SIRREXOERS.
MANILA, April 9, 3:05 p. m.—Though
the officials are uncommunicative, it is
nevertheless said that Aguinaldo signed
the peace manifesto this morning. Chief
Justice Arellano drafted the document.
Aguinaldo strongly objected to two
clauses of the manifesto and considerable
argument was required to overcome his
objections.
Col. Aba, the insurgent leader of Zam
bales province, with tnirteen officers,
thirty-three men and ninety-two rifles
surrendered to Lieut. Col. Mancil C.
Goodrill, commanding the marines sta
trolled at Olongapo on Subig bay. Gen.
Malvar, with about 300 men and as many
rifles is expected to surrender Shortly at
Silang in Cavite province.
LOOMIS OFF FOR HOME
MARKED FRIEXDLY DEMONSTRA
TION AT CARACAS IX HIS HONOR.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
April 9.—Mr. Francis B. Loom is, the
United States minister to Venezuela,
sailed from La Cuayra Monday on the
United States auxiliary cruiser Scorpkn,
which fired a salute in his honor, the
American vessels in port saluting with
their colors.
When Minister Loomis left Caracas,
the capital, the railway station was
crowded with people representing the
best class of residents, showing the es
teem in which Mr. Loomis was held.
The whole diplomatic corps also assem
bled at the station and expressed s> m
pahty with Mr. Loomis Many Porto
Ricans, whom Mr. Lbomis had saved
from military service, were at the sta
tion. They presented him with an ad
dress. The private car in which Mr.
Loomis traveled was filled with flowers.
No minister ever left Caracas with more
marked respect.

CENTRAL OF NEW JEWSEY EM
PLOYES LIKELY TO GO OUT.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., April The
employes of this division of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, it is said, have
voted almost unanimously in favor of a
strike, providing that Vice President
Warren of the road still persists in re
fusing the brotherhood officials a confer
ence. It is believed here, however, that
Vice President Warren will ask the grand
officers and various brotherhood officials
to return to New York and discuss the
conditions. The vote of the men was
completed today.
A strike in this region on the Jersey
Central railroad would force about 12.0W
miners to quit work.

British demonstration like that of Sat
urday night, when, upon the arrival of
the mission, a number of persons crowd
ed in front of the Hotel Bristol and
shouted "Down with England," "Victory
for the Boers." which caused four or
five arrests to be made It was the first
time in the history of Prussia that such
an honor as being escorted to the palace
in royal carriages was paid to an am
bassador. A band of music, stationed hi
the court yard of the castle, played "God
Save the King," as the mission entered.
His majesty received the mission with
great ceremony. After the Duke of Aber
crombie had handed King Edward's auto
graph letter to King William and the
mission had been received in audi^nc •
by the empress, the Duke of Abercrombie
and his party were re-escorted to th?
Hotel Bristol by the cavalry detachment.
The commissioners did not wholly escape
a demonstration of Anglophobisni. There
were shouts of "Down with the English"
outside the hotel in spite of the strong
police force on duty in its vicinity.

been broken. Arlington yesterday "noti

objections were withdrawn he "would do

ilies in Chattanooga, Arrington was the
son of a merchant at Somerville.

WASHINGTON, April 9.—The first
United Skates coaling station to be located
on foreign soil Tias been completed at
l'ichiilm'iui, on the west coast of Mexico,
and the collier Alexander is now taking
on 5,000 tons of coal at Baltimore to
stock this latest acquisition of the navy.
The station is on California bay, at the
extreme end of the long peninsula
which juts down from California, and is
known as Lower California, although
It is an integral part of Mexico. Admiral
Bradford, chief of the naval bureau of
equipment, has long been seeking to
develop this point for the use of the
navy. A footing was secured there
many years ago through the assent of
the local authorities, but it was desired
that the Mexican government should
give its full authorization to the work
contemplated by the United States.
Through the state department, extended
negotiations were carried on with Mexico,
resulting finally ir. complete authorization
for the projected station. The work has
been in progress for some time, about
$.5,000 having been expended in coal war<2
houses, warehouses and slips, and facil
ities for loading coal onto ships of war
The capacity of the station is 5,000 tons
of coal. A Mexican custom official will
inspect the ships befoTe they enter the
station.

Lawyers Mixed Up in Patrick Case
Charge Sharp Practice Against
Each Other
PROSECUTOR GETS AFTER HOUSE
Osborne Also Tells Moore He Doesn't
' Care for Up-the-State Rules
of Practice.
NEW YORK, April 9.-A feature of the
examination of Valet Jones in the day s
session of the hearing concerning the
death of William Marsh Rice, the Texas
millionaire, war. a line of question which
led to a heated scene at the noon recess
between Attorney Me^ore, who represents
Lawyer Albert T. Patrick, and Assistant
District Attorney Osborne. The cause
of the dispute was Mr. Osborne bringing
out certain testimony against Patrick.
Frederick House is one of Patrick's
lawyers. Previous to Jones turning
state's evidence Mr. House represented
the valet also. By a ruling of the court
Mr. Osborne was allowed to ask the wit
ness what he and Patrick had told their
lawyer at the first interview in the
Tombs. Jones replied that it was a com
plete confession of murder, differing not
at all from his story at the hearing.
During all the long cross-examination of
Jones, which end«-d only an hour before
recess, Mr. Moore made it apparent that
his sledge hammer questions were all
directed at one point. He sought to
chow that Jones' story was concocted
at the instigation of some of the men
interested in disapproving the second
Rice will. He laid special stress on
Jones' conversation with Capt. Baker,
executor of the first will. The cross
examination was full of insinuations and
recriminations against Jones, Mr. Os
borne and Mr. Battle, the latter Jones'
special counsel.
When at last Mr. Moore said: "We are
through with the witness," Mr. Osborne,
en rebuttal, leaned back in his chair and
asked quietly:
LIKE A THUNDERBOLT.
"Jones, to whom aid you first tell the
story of your having chloroformed Mr.
Rice? I mean the same story you told
here?"
"To Mr. House," was the reply.
The question apparently was a sur
prise. Mr. House Hushed and looked hard
at the table. Patrick tugged at his beard
and Mr. Moore sprang to his feet.
"We object to that question," he shout
ed. "We have some rights in this case.
Anything the witness said to his coun
sel involves the prisoner. Jt is a profes
sional confidence which must not be re
vealed."
But Justice Jerome said: "Objection
overruled," and Jones then detailed at
length his first interview with Mr. House
in the Tombs' counsel room. On Pat
rick's advice he had told the truth, he
said.
"I told Mr. House that I murdered Mr.
Rice," said Jones. "I told him that I
gave him mercury pills, where I got the
chloroform and all about it."
"Did you tell him about the oxalic:
acid?" was asked.
"Yes."
"And what did Mr. House say?"
"He told Patrick that it would not do
for him to put all the blame on me;
that he was as much in it as I was."
Mr. Osborne brought out the fact that
the talk with Mr. House occurred several
days before the district attorney had the
faintest idea that the prisoner would
make a confession.
"What did Patrick say to Mr. House?"
Mr. Osborne asked.
"Why, he explained that he had put
Mr. Rice out of the way because the
drafts were coming due from Texas,"
said Jones.
Court then adjourned until' 2 o'clock.
LAWYERS IN A SQUABBLE.
A few minutes later Justice Jerome went
out and the court room was cleared of
everyone but lawyers and reporters. Mr.
Osborne arose from his side of the table
and started for the door. Mr. Moore met
him at a corner of the table.
"Mr. Osborne," he begin in a quiet
voice, "I want to tell you that your con
duct in making Jones tell about his con
versation with Mr. House, was unprofes
sional. It was not right."
The district attorney's face was crim
son in a minute.
"I only did it," he said, "because of
your insinuations that we concocted
Jones* story. You have cast reflections
upon Capt. Baker. He Is m y friend, l
guard his reputation as zealously as I do
my own."
At the mention of his name, Capt. Ba
ker stepped forward and stood at Mr.
Osborne's elbow.
"You have not strengthened your case
any," continued Mr. Moore. "You hava
only put Mr. House in a ho.c. I tell you
it was not fair."
"I don't give a d for the wav you do
things up the state," shouted Mr. Os-
CUBAN COMMITTEE
TO VISIT M'KINLEY

TO WASHIXGTOX.
HAVANA, April 9.—The Cuban consti
tutional convention today formally re
considered the vote against sending a
commission to Washingtm, the final vote
standing 20 in favor of reconsideration to
8 opposed. The programme now is to
appoint a commission of five who shall
in the first instance, wait upoft Gov.
Gen. Wood, discuss the situation with
him and ask his advice regarding the
procedure necessary in the present case
in Washington.
A further extension of the mortgages,
which expire according to decree of form

urged, but the movement is meeting
with strong opposition from the owners
of estates, who have be«n deprived of
their rights and income for four years.
Gen. Wood is considering the question
of appointing- a commission in each pro
vince with a view to bringing about
some compromise between the tenants
and owners.
Senor Gener, secretary of Justice, has
tendered his resignation to Gov. Gen.

recent arrival in the city. "You attend
to your own side of the cape. If you hail
a professional sense of honor you wouid
not interfere with me in trying the ■
at court."
Assistant District Attorney Garvlg
then stepped between the two men. Am •
a running fire of accusations and recrim
inations Mr. Osborne went back to his
office.
Mr. Moore followed him as far as the
hall.
Testimony at the afternoon session was
produced by Mr. Osborne corroborating
many details of Jones' confession.
At tonight's session of the Patrick case
John H. Wallace, paying teller or the
Swenson bunk, was shown the Patrick
will of July 30, 1900, the general assign
ments of the Rice property to Patrick
the letter in which Mr. Rice is alleged to
have given orders for the cremation or
his body and a certified check for $25,000
which Patrick gave to Potts, the day
after Mr. Rice's death, and in each in
stance he declared that the signatures of
"W. M. Rice" attached tc them wero
forgeries. On cross- examination the wit
ness declared he had seen the "PatricK
will" one day last week in the district
atorney's office. He had compared th«
signature on it with deeds in the district
attorney's office bearing the genuine sig
nature and this had convinced him that
the Patrick will was forged.
Walter L. Wetherbee, a clerk in the
Swenson bank, was the next witness.
Wetherbee was one of the witnesses to
the will of 1800. According to testimony
given at this hearing: by Valet Jones,
Patrick urged Jones to try and get Weth
erbee to witness a will which he contem
plated forging before he dMV the- so
called Patrick will. According to Jones,
Wetherbee refused to be a party to the
contemplated fraud, but was neverthe
less made a benehciary to the Patrioc
wHI as an inducement for him to keep
silent the fact that he had been ap
proached in the will matter. The witness
sa'.d he had known Valet Jones for two
or three years, and then in face of ob
jections from Attorney Moore, who wa3
overruled by the court, relatc-d a conver
sation took place between Jone*
and himself (Wetherbee) at the latters
home in January, ISOO. Wetherbee said:"
"ALL ARE FORGERIES."
"Jones said a Texas lawyer with an
office in the World buiklinsr. and an em
ploye of the Manhattan railway, had fir.«t
approached him about the drawing of thd
contemplated will."
AVitness, after testifying that he was
familiar with the handwritng of the late
Mr. Rice, branded the Patrick win, the
$25,000 check, the general assignments and
the cremation letter as forgeries. Wit
ness swore he had a conversation with
Patrick when the latter called at the of
fice of Swenson & Sons, in connection
with the certification oi tne $25,000 check.
"Did he tell you you were a legatee
under the will?" Mr. Osborne asked.
"He did n<st."
"Did he speak to you about the li»00
will at all?"
"He did."
Witness volunteered the testimony that
the general assignments were mentioned
in the conversation. Patrick hi
witness that the Rice property va« trans
ferred to him for the drawing
"secret trust" which is so frequently
mentioned in this case, hut the p
which for all that is as much a mystery
as ever.
On cross examination by Mr&Jtfoor? the
witness was asked if he had »>v
to Jones about the will, after
of the valet to his house in Brooklyn.
"In February." witness replied, "I
asked Jones what had been done about
the will. Jones said he had droppi d
matter."
"Did he ever tell Mr. Rice about Jo
proposition?" asked Mr. Mo<m
"I did net." witness replied.
"Why did pou not tell this o'd man Rice
that a conspiracy to get his munes
being set on foot against him by hla ser
vant?" was the next question of Mr.
Moore.
Mr. Osborne objected.
Justice Jerome said the question »h<
Mr. Moore's purpose to be to discr
the witness and he therefore could not
allow it and after some di«cir-ssio n th©
question was withdrawn.
