P : WERE ON INSPECTION TOUR More Than a Score of Volunteers Ac- company Superintendent Into Work- Ings Following a Minor Accident. Two-Explosions Occur Shortly After and' Falling Coal Completely Blocks’ the Exits. Pittsburg, Jan. 27.—Two men are dead and twenty others supposed to be dead as the result of three gas ex- plosions in the Boswell mine of the United Coal company, Somerset coun- ty. The men were members of an investigating party that had entered the mine to make an inspection of suspiclous gas traces before allowing the miners to go to work. The dead are Superintendent J. G. Logam and Andrew Stoncki. Among the supposed dead are Assistant Superintendent George Morris, John Cole, William M. Hay and seventeen other men. For some hours signals were heard from the imprisoned men. At day- light, however, the signals ceased and it 4s believed that allithe men .had come tunder the influence of the dead- ly afterdamp. On Monday afternoon a small ex- plosion oteurred in the mine and as a result of this and other conditions that needed attention it was decided to make a thorough investigation -of the underground workings and en- tries. This was in charge of Super- intendent Logan and twenty-one men volunteered for the dangerous work. After they entered the mine a second and third explosion occurred. These explosions had the effect of tearing down great quantitles of coal, slate and rock in the interior, completely preventing the men from reaching the outside. State Mine Inspector Low- ther of Somerset was soon at the scene and from the miners who had not been allowed to go to work until the investigating party returned res- cuing shifts’ were quickly formed. The rescusrs worked herofcally in an' effort to reach their imprisoned comrades. AH the while the rescue party recelvad encouragement by the slgnal tappings coming from the en- tombed men. At '5 o'clock in' the morning the body of Superintendent Logan was recovered RUDOWITZ WILL NOT BE EXTRADITED o~ Secretary Root Announces: De- clsion in Hemgen's Case, m ‘Washington, Jan. 27.—Christian Rue dowitz, whose extradition on charges of murder, arson and othér crimes was demanded by the Russian gov- ernment and involving - counter con- tentions that the offenses were in furtherance -of a political movement, will not be extradited. This decision was announced by Secretary of State Root. In effect the extradition of Rudo- witz' was refused as the offense charged comes under the general pro- hibition' against extradition in the treaty with Russia, which = declares that if it be made to appear that ex- tradition is sought with the: view ‘to try or punish for an offense of a polit- fcal‘ character surrender shall not- take place. The testimony in the case by United' States Commissioner. Foote- at Chicago, it was held, up- holds the view taken by the depart~ ment, though ' the commissioner fip- held the Russian government’s de- mand. Secretary Root™ declined to comment on the decision at this time pending _formal notification to the. Russian authorities of the depart- ment’s decisjon. The decision followed a thorough Investigation of the case by the gov- ernment, a hearing at Chicago before. TUnited States Commissioner Foote and review of his decislon: by the state ' department. * Vigorous efforts ‘were made to prevent extradition on the ground that the offenses charged were political and therefore mot ex- traditable.

A doctor’s first questfon when consulted by a patient is, “are your bowels regular?” He knows that ninety-eight per cent. of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. This condition pois- ons the system with noxious gases and waste matter. which naturally accumulates: and which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pillsand cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh,irritating action they . force’ a passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces tempor- ary relief. The repeated use of such treatments cause chronic irri- tation of ‘the stomach and bowels, hardens their tissues, deadens. their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which = sometimes has fatal results. We have a positive, pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel disorders in general. We are so certain of its great curative 'value that we promise to return the purchaser’s money in every case when it fails to produce entire sat- isfaction. This remedy is calied Rexall Orderlies.
