THORN's BLOODY SAW.
Mrs. Mack Taken tn the Spot Where
1t Is suppOsed 40 BE buried.

New York Nov. 15.-Mrs. Mack was
taken from the Queens county Jail early
this morning, and for the first time since
she was removed to Long Island City
from the Tombs, left the court house
buildings. She went to corroborate part
OF her confession, and tomorrow the au-
thorities hope to be able to locate the saw
with which 1t is claimed Thorn dismem-
bered the body of Guldensuppe. The par
ty drove out Jackson avenue and through
Woodside (but not near the now notorious
cottage on Second street, where the muir
der occurred, on through Corona and
Flushing to point between Flushing and
College Point, known as College Hill. In
her confession Mrs. Mack had indicated
that as the locality In which the saw was
buried She thought she could find the
spot, and when taken there indicated the
vicinity. She was not sure of the exact
place where the saw was inferred, but
was sure she was able 10 tell within a few
feet. When the spot was located as near
ly as possible, the three re-entered the
coach and 1t was driven back to Long Is
land City.
The driver made detour this time to
avoid going within sight of the cottage, es
II was now daylight and the cottage might
have been seen in the distance. The coach
soon reached the jail. and Mrs. Mack re-
turned to her cell. No effort was made to-
day to recover the saw. Digging will be
commenced tomorrow. According to Mrs
Mack It Is but a short distance below the
surface.
Later in the day. Rev. DR.. Miles visited
Mrs. Mack and prayed with her.
The Identification of Martin Thorn as a
former convict by a keeper from Moya-
menslng prison, Philadelphia. Saturday, It
was stated at the court house IN Long
Island city tonight caused District At
torneys Youngs to take sudden journey
TO Philadelphia. 1t was also announced
that Detective Methven has left to join MIR
the case.
None OF the officials would say, in the
absence of Mr.. Youngs, what the develop
ments were that induced the district at
torney to give the matter his personal at
tentIon. 1t was believed that Thorn's rec
ord as a convict, as revealed by the Moya-
mensing keeper, consisted merely of a
short term for the theft of a diamond pin
sfrom a customer in his barber shop. He
was known as "Thornlnsky"
Mr.. Youngs said he expected to
be gone only two days. He
thinks he can finish Thorns trial
very quickly. The work of get
ting the jury will begin a week from Mon
day. He expects to have twelve men In
the jury box by Tuesday, and to have a
considerable portion of the testimony in
before the adjournment for Thanksgiving.

JOCKEY SLOANE IN FAVOR.
The London Referee Speaks i'm High

Terms of His Riding.
London, Nov. 15.-The Referee, which Is
considered one of the highest sporting
authorities in England, pays a great COM
pliment to-day to Tod Sloane, the Ameri-
can jockey 1t says: "At the present mo-
ment we do not think we have q more
popular parsonage on the turf than little
Sloane. If the little American goes on
doing as well as he has been doing we
shall probably have a school of imitators
spring up. His method is superior to
English, but only prolonged experience
and a comparison of the two styles can
determine which pays better.
cat both meetings last week Sloane dis
tlnguished himself, and he has become
such. a factor among the racing constitu-
ency that he now has strong following
in the market, while his services are
much sought by owners and trainers.
Whatever may be the merits of his style,
there is no gainsaying that he possesses
the art of jumping horses off quickly,
and also Of keeping them going straight,
which is more than many can do.
1T is said that he will lay himself out
next year and go in for the best returns
in winning mounts. If so, he starts with
a great pull, as he can ride boys weight.
and can command a far greater number
of mounts than any of the top-Sawyers." d"

FIERCE FIGHT WITH FIRE.

sands of Cords of Dry Timber-The
Shaft Full of Deadly Gas and
Forty Men Overcome by Its Fumes.
Denver, Col, Nov. IA special to the
Republican from Aspen, Col, says: "a
fire that bids fair to close down every big
mine in the camp is raging in the eighth
level of the Smuggler mine. The cause
of the catastrophe is supposed to be spon-
taneous combustion, although there are a
few who are inclined to the theory that a
careless miner and a candle are respon-
sble. So far the fire is confined to q large
crib and is burning at point about 500
feet below the surface. This crib is eighty
feet wide, 164 feet long and 800 feet high
1t contains many thousands of cords of
dry timber So far as known these tim
bers have not broken into a blaze, but the
supposition is that the entire base of the
crib is burning.
can efforts to reach the fire
have proven unsuccessful, and
an attempt to place bulkheads in the con-
nection came near losing the lives of some
fifty men. over forty of those were so
overcome by the deadly gas that for a
time their lives were despaired of.
THE burning crib is located about thirty
feet from the Mollie Gibson and the Snug

the fire. The Mollie Gibson people at
tempted to bulkhead their connections, but
came near losing a number of men, At
one time twelve unconscious miners were
hoisted from the mine and stretched on
the shaft house floor. Shortly thereafter
six more were hoisted out in almost as
serious a condition. Although physicians
were on the ground, 1t took the energetic
and vigorous efforts of all the bystanders
to bring these men around within three
quarters of an hour. A miner named Ed
Hodgson, while in a dazed condition, fell
down an ore chute and sustained serious
injuries.
AT 1920 Manager Hallette, Master Me
chanic Carsons and Cageman Wright
made a trip into the burning mine through
the free silver shaft. Although under
ground less than fifteen minutes, they
were all OVERCOME Dy Gas anu Adu a Hi
raculous escape from death.
Manager Hallette, when asked as to
the prospect of saving the burning mine,
said: There are two possible chances. One
is that the fire can be extinguished by
steam, which we will force in from below
the other that the fire will soon consume
the crib and cause a cavern sufficiently
large to smother the flames. There Is no
danger of the gas causing an explosion.
Flooding the property will probably not
be resorted to, although conditions may
arise that will make it unavoidable. To
flood the mines means the drowning out

Hallette states that he ex-

night, Aspen, as a mining camp, will be
seldom heard from until silver reaches a
figure far beyond its present value"

AUSTRIA AFTER THE PORTE.
Dismissal of the Officials and Salute
of the Flag Demanded.

of the Flag Demanded.
Constantinople, Nov. 14-Baron de Ca
lice, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to
the porte, has demanded the dismissal
of the vail of Adana, Asia Minor, and of
the Mutessarif of Merslna, the porte of
Adana, the two officials responsible for
the recent indignity to the Austrian mer-
chant Brazzafolli, agent at Mersina
of the Austrian-Lloyd Steamship Com
pany. He has also demanded a salute to
the Austrian flag. In the event of a fail
ure to comply with both demands, Baron
de Calice will quit Constantinople on
Thursday next.
According to dispatches to the Asso-
ciated Press last Thursday the semi-offi-
cial Fremdenblatt announced that day that
"a noticeable coolness" between the Aus
trian embassy at Constantinople and the
porte had resulted from the high-handed
action of the local authorities of Mersina
toward the agent at that port of the Aus
trian Lloyd Steamship Company, a mer-
chant named Brazzafolli. 1t appears that
he first incurred turkish suspicion of po-
ntical intrigue by befriending fugitive Ar
menians and giving the most necessitous
cheap passages by the Austrian-Lloyd
Steamship Company's vessels. Last month
the Turkish authorities expelled him
from Mersina. The Austrian government
protested, whereupon the porte allowed
Brazzafolli to return to Mersina. When
he came to land the local Turkish officials
maltreated him; not content with that
they also insulted the Austrian consul
who intervened on his behalf. Austria
Immediately sent a strong note to the
Turkish government, demanding an ex-
plantation. The note was followed up by
orders to the Austrian cruiser Leopard to
proceed to Mersina to protect the Austrian
consulate and the Christians at that port

The Unpaid War Indemnity Held

over the Head of the Porte.
Constantinople, Nov. N.-In connection
with the announcement just made by the
Russian embassy to the Turkish govern
ment that Russia will demand the unpaid
arrears of the Russo-Turkish war indem-
nifty if the porte applies any part of the
Greek war indemnity to an increase of
Turkish ornaments, it is now pointed out
that when, some time ago, Gen. Brial-
mont submitted to the porte plans for arm
ing the forts at the entrance of the Bos-
phorus, Russia intimated that she would
consider this a hostile act. In Difference
to the intimation then given the porte
abandoned the Bosphorus scheme.
Russia's attitude with respect to the
present plans for reorganizing the Turk
ish navy is considered here a logical re-
suit of her recent policy to keep Turkey
