male attendants, and at night the women's

danger of criminal assault from men about

completely filled by the in-rushing tide
Only one could go through at a time and
as one man gained a prominence he was
snatched by his frenzied companions and
drawn back into the struggling crowd
Meanwhile the flood rose swiftly and
relentlessly. The caisson roof was scarcely
higher than the mems heads and to be left
behind was thought to be certain death.
Taylor says he the last of the survivors to
escape into the outer lock. AS he escaped
from the clutches of dozen hands and
leaped through the trap into the outer lock
he heard Knox, the foreman, shout. s'For
Gods sake, hurry boys, its getting over my
head; let the shortest men go first" The
trap fell back behind Taylor and shut his
doomed comrades from view. 1t is supposed
that before any others could escape they
were all drowned. The workmen at the
pumps at late hour tonight, however,
think there is chance that some of the i'm
prlsoned workmen are still alive. The air
gauge on the engine which pumps air into
the calsson shows a strong and steady
pressure of air in the air shaft and caisson,
and it is thought possible that the com
pressed air in the caisson will be sufficient
to keep the water from rising to the top and
mat some OF the men may be able to keep
their heads above water until relieved.
At a. m. the outer chamber of the Gals
sion was reached and three bodies were
found. All of the men in the caisson
proper are known to be dead Messrs
Sooy, Smith & Co. of New York are the con-
tracing engineers in charge of the caisson
work; the Phoenix Bridge company a
pennsylvania corporation, have the con-
tract for the construction of the bridge
The engineers theory of the accident,
which is partially supported by facts
obtained from the workmen who
escaped, is that the foreman who,
1T is alleged, had been drinking, while
attempting toreduce the air pressure, turned
the valve of the supply pipe too far, and
the pressure on the interior of the caisson
became so low that the caison settled in
the mud of its own weight, at the same time
admitting the water.

Failure of the Second Attempt to
Open the Burning Mines.

Failure of the Second Attempt to
Open the Burning Mines.
BUTTE, Mont, Special Telegram,
The second attempt to open the Anaconda
and st. Lawrence mines has proved abort
i've. This morning the men penetrated
about fifty feet into the 4OO-foot level, but
were unable to remain long on account of
heat and foul air. They were there long
enough, however, to see the fire had burned
up to the 3OO-foot level at least and
how much further is not known.
The bulkheads were replaced at 10 o'clock
this morning, and the mine again left to its
fate. This proves conclusively that the
effort to subdue the fire in these mines bv
injecting steam into them is an utter fail
ure. The steam vaporizes with the heat
with which it is subjected before it can
reach the fire. and the released oxygen sim
ply adds fuel to the flames Nothing re-
mains now but to flood the mines. The
water is now up to the SOO-foot level of the
Anaconda having risen 200 feet in the six
weeks since last closed. No estimate can
be formed of the extent of the damage BIZ
the fire, but it is hardly possible that seri.
Gus caves will soon make themselves az
parent.

JUDGE KELLY DEAD,
The Father of the House of Repre-
S6NtatiMeS dies at Wa

The Father of the House of Repre-
sentatiVes dies at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Special-Judge William D.
Kelley of Pennsylvania died here this even
lug At his bedside were Mrs. Kelley; his
daughter, Mrs. f. 0. Horstman; his sons,
William D. Kelley, Jr., and A. B. Kelley;
Dr. Stanton, his attending physician; and
}. II. Weirick, his private secretary. HIS
death was painless, and to the watchers at
his bedside he seemed to have fallen into a
peaceful sleep. He was unconscious at the
last, as he had been at intervals during the
last two days His remains will be buried
at Laurel Hill cemetery, Philadelphia
The immediate cause of Judge Kelley's
death was intestinal catarrh, brought on by
cold contracted during Christmas week
For some years, however, he had been
almost a constant sufferer from cancerous
growth in the side of his face, which was
removed about six years ago by surgical
operation The relief thus obtained was
only temporary, and since that time it has
developed so rapidly during the past year
that 1t must have soon conquered him had
he not earlier fallen victim to the ca
tarrhal affection. He was nearly seventy
six years old, and during the latter years of
his life his general health has not been
good, SO that he easily fell a victim to the
weakening influences Of disease The
funeral services here will take place in the
hall of the house of representatives Satur-
day.
William D. Kelley was born in Phila-
delphia April IL, 1914. His grandfather,
John Kelley, served as an officer in the
Revolutionary war. Having lost his father
at an early age he learned the printers
to jeweler in Boston, In 1910 he returned
to Philadelphia and began the study of
law, and year later was admitted to the
bar, and while practicing his profession de-
voted much time to literary pursuits. He
was elected attorney general of Pennsyl-
vania in 1916, and in 1916 was judge of the
court of common pleas of Philadelphia.
In 1860 he was delegate to the National
Republican convention, and in the same year
was elected to congress, where he has served
continuously ever since. He has been
member OF numerous committees Of the
house, and chairman Of some of the most
important, notably the committee on ways
and means He served in the lower house
reason was often called the Father of the
House" He has for many years been
known as Pig Iron Kelley" He was at
one time free trader, but later became an
ardent protectiOnist, and wrote several
works in opposition to the free trade
theory. Among his works are: Reasons
for Abandoning the Theory of Free Trade
and Adopting the Principles of Protection
to American Industry" Letters on Indus
trial and Financial Questions" and "The
New South"

would be entitled to fair compensation; but
he thought it would not be favorable
