MODEL TOWN NOT SELECTED
Report That Yardlcy, Pa, Had Been
Chosen Is Denied

The announcement made yesterday
that the Philadelphia and New York
capitalists and philanthropists who, at
a dinner in Aldine Hotel, Philadelphia,
on the evening OF November %. made
public a plan for establishing a model
industrial town near Philadelphia, had
selected Yardley as the site Tor their
project is strenuOusly denied by pro-
moters Of the scheme. The project was
conceived by Joseph j. Byers, and Ar
thur Wellesley Milbury is a member of
the committee appointed to execute the
plan. These authorize the following
statement.
we are greatly surprised at the re-
port that Yardley has been selected
for our model industrial town. There
is no truth in It. No meeting OF the
committee has been held.
sites for the proposed town have
been considered by individual members
Of the committee, but not by the com
mitteo as a whole. No site at Yardley
or near that place has been considered
Mr. Milbury said. 1T is expected
that several manufacturing companies
whose interests are controlled by Mr.
Byers and his associates will be located
In the model town. Among these ar,
the Searchmont Manufacturing Com
pany and the Searchmont Motor Com
pany."

direction OF the house occupied by Rev.
Mr.. Wohl and his housekeeper, Mrs.
Levine Mr.. Wohl's family being in
Kentucky. Mr.. Stokes stopped at the
gate to talk with Mrs. Levine. who
stood in the doorway. Within few
minutes the minister came out OF the
house. He seemed to be greatly ex-
cited about something and said TO Mrs.
Levine as he passed her at the door:
you would be much better, at
present, in the house"
She laughingly replied that the day
was far too pretty to be spent en-
tirely within doors, and Mr.. Stokes
interrupted by remarking
Eyes. don't think Of leaving us for
the house."
Quick as fash Mr.. wohl turned.

Mr.. Stokes has thus far refused to

An important addition to the foreign

America. Twelve steamships, which
were chartered during the past month,
are now on their way to Chilli, Peru

more are being chartered. All of them
are under contract to bring back silver
ore and nitrate of Soda The British
steamship Dart was yesterday charter
ed for six months at the rate Of e1 ,475

tofogasta to either Perth AmbOy, n. j.,
or Philadelphia.
Efforts are being made by New York
capitalists to obtain property near or
at Chester for the erection of a smelt-
ing plant, where the ores containing
precious metal may be reduced, and
thus save the expense Of proceeding to
Perth AmbOy, as most of the vessels
load their outward cargoes at Philadel-
phia. Recently large shipments of both
silver and lead ores have been going
there from Mexico. Cheap coal and su-
penor water facilities on the Delaware
river constitute attractions to capital

Scranton. Pa, Dec. 6.-Thirty-two
men employed at the Nayaug collicry,
In Dunmore, were entombed by al
cavein yesterday. but thanks TO a
simple fortunate circumstance repe-
tition of the terrible Turn shaft dis

The men were at work about 1000
feet from the bottom Of the slope, and
400 feet below the surface, when two
acres Of the roof between them and
the slope came down with a terrific
crash, crushing the pillars beneath It
and causing a rush of air that almost
blew the men from their feet and huri-
ed the roof from of the fan house.
Their lamps were extinguished, but
finding that the air was still pure,
they relighted them and began to cast
about for a way to escape Some
cOunselled remaining where they were
until help should reach them from the
outside. but the cracking OF the pillars
in their vicinity told them that the
cavein was extending towards them
and that they must soon find a way
out or be caught and killed like rats
in trap.
Foreman John Gibbons. who chanc-
ed to be with the men at the time. bade
them keep cool and quiet. and he would
try to find q way out. Crawling on his
hands and knees over the fallen roof.

After a difficult and dangerous jour

and after an hours work a passage
was cleared to the airway. As fast
as they could run they made their way

PHILIPPINE POLICY
Massachusetts Republican
ArOuSOS Only Enthusiasm
Against the Measure

Washington, Dec. 6.-The house de-
voted yesterday to the army reorgani-
cation bill, which was brought up un-
der a special order, adopted at the
opening OF the session, which limited
general debate to two hours on a side
Chairman Hull, of the military COM
mittee, who was in charge of the bill,
and Mr.. Parker of New Jersey, who is
a member of the military committee
Republicans, spoke for the bill, and
Messrs. Cochrane of Missouri, Kleberg
of Texas, Mcclellan of New York,
Shafroth of Colorado, Cummings Of
New York and Cox of Tennessee, Dem
ocrats, against it. Mr. Mccall of Mass
achusetts. Republican, aroused the
only enthusiasm of the day against the
measure. Several times during the last
session, notably, on the Porto Rican
tariff bill, he refused to follow his
party Yesterday he attacked the whole
Philippine policy of the sdministra-
tion. Although temperate in language
he was plain spoken in his warnings of
the dangers which lay ahead of the
government if a colonial policy was
persisted in.
Senator Frye, at yesterdays session
of the senate, concluded his speech
upon the ship subsidy bill. He devoted
his attention principally to technical
explanation Of the various provisions
OF the measure. explaining with es-
pecial care that provision which would
admit to American registry foreign
built ships. From several sources his
attention was directed to this prOvis-
ion, and il is evidently one upon which
most of the forthcoming debate will
rest. Aside from the speech of Mr.
Frye no business of importance was
transacted in legislative session. Be
fore adjournment Senator Hawley. Of
Connecticut, introduced the Root bill
for the reorganization Of the army.
