MRS. PEARY'S DENIAL.
She Flatly Contradicts the Story Told by
Private Secretary Swain,

Sne plhhy NouIraucLs tne Seory Iotu Dy
Private Secretary Swain.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Mrs. Peary, the
wife of the Arctic explorer, denies en-
phaticRlly the structures Of some of the
members of her husbands party upon
their alleged treatment.
Three charges, in brief, are that Lieu
tenant Peary's autocratic methods were
offensive to his associates; that he was in-
considerate of their comfort and un-
geptlemanly in his treatment to them;
that they were nearly starved to death,
and that they would have Jared better had
Mrs. Peary not been member OF the
party. These allegations were made by
W. L. Swain, Lieutenant Pearys private
secretary.
Mrs. Peary said that her husband was
unusually conslderate Of his men. las to
the menu, he gave them the best 1t was
possible to obtain"
mo partiality was shown. Lieutenant
Peary, all reports to the contrary not
withstanding, ate at the table with his
men, and shared their hardships in every
way. l could not go to the public table on
account Of my baby. Some of the table
delicacies given to me by friends, were
used by me, but my husband declined to
share them with me, saying that he pre-
ferred to have only what was given to the
rest Of the party"
'tMr. SWAIN" Mrs. Peary continued,
wants to get little advertising out Of
the expedition, which accounts for his un-
just criticism. He is welcome to this; but
it strikes me that it is unfair to attack
Mr.. Peary when he is not here to reply."
Mrs. Peary, lin conclusion, said that She
had received a telegram from friends
in Philadelphia advising her to pay no at
tention to the statements Of Mr.. Swain.
In that city. she said, Mr. Peary's friends
who had backed him in the expedition, are
Indifferent as to what any members of the
party may say.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.

CARBoNDAhE. Sept. %.
m lNCE the time OF the awful aoci-
" which occurred in the Northwest
V)) mine at Simpson yesterday after
" noon, the rescuing parties have
been working earnestly. They had not
the remotest idea of finding any of the
unfortunate miners alive. but at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon they we're happy
In discovering that one OF the men was
still living. 1t is John J, Tanning.
The rescuing party have carried on
a conversation with him, and there is
now hopes of rescuing some Of the
others from what at first seemed to be
sure death.
On account of the narrow place it Ia
impossible to employ many men at a
time in the work OF rescue. There are
three shilts, each working eight hours.
Each shift consists OF ten men.
G. W. James and Thomas Moyles
are in charge Of the gangs. The whole
mass of fallen rock will have to be cut
through, and it is estimated that the
mep, or perhaps it may be their re-
maius. will be reached some time to-
morrow night
At the month of the mine there are
crowds of anxious ones waiting in
hopes of again seeing their loved ones
alive

resolution was adopted calling on dele
gates to pledge themselves to use their
best efforts to have enacted by the
legislature Of their state an amendment
to the building laws similar to that re-
Gently enacted in Pennsylvania, regu
lating the weight which each floor OF q
building should sustain.
The committee on resolutions made
its report today. The report recon-
mends the adoption of laws fixing the

enactment OF laws governing the con-
struction Of elevators, providing for
the inspection of boilers and reduci ng
the hours of labor OF cable car and
electric car operators to notmoro than
ten hours or twelve hours por day.
The report also recommends the
enactment OF laws prohibiting the
manufacturing OF wearing apparel in
tenement house sweat shops"
A minority report was submitted by
Inspector McCloude, Of New Jessey, in
which substitute was offered provid-
ing for limit to forty-eight hours
labor per week. The report provoked
considerable discussion as to the advis-
ability OF attempting to enforce an
eight-hour law and Of debating the
time Of labor The substitute was
adopted by vote af "a to IA
Resolutions were also passed relative
to the obtaining uniform factory legis-
lation in oil manufacturing states:
recommending the legislation looking
to a still further reduction in the hours
of labor be urged, and asking that the
operations Of the factory inspection
law be extended to mercantile estab-
lishments.
After Providence, r. l., had been
selected as the place for holding the
next convention. the convention finally
adjourned,
