TWO DIE IN 4 mine
Fred LindIoff and Son John Suf-
located by Foul Air at
Coal Valley.
SUNDAY TRAGEDY IN THE VILLAGE
Father Per'shes While Searching
For Boy.-Found by
Neighbors.

Fred Lindloff and his son John W ere
found dead last night at the bottom
of 35-foot mine shaft on the old Sack
vile farm in Coal Valley. They had
been overc )me by foul air. The son
was the first victim. He had been
missing since morning and when the
anxious father started down into the
opening in search of him, he, too, was
overcome.
The mine until a year ago was
operated by James Sackville. The
first of the present month it was pull
chased by Fred Lindloff, who had
decided to work it again the coming
winter. He expected to start opera
tions this week.
Yesterday morning about o'clock
John. as was his custom, went for
stroll over the farm to inspect and
feed the stock. Adjacent 10 the mine
proper there is an air shaft, which is
equipped with ladders, etc., making
it easy of access. Young Lindlof

see for himself that all was in order
for the beginning of operations. Tie
must have reached the bottom before
the bad air took effect on him, for his
body was not in the least bruised, in
dicating that he had not fallen any
distance.
Father Begins Search.
When the son did not return for
dinner the family thought he had
stopped with one of the neighbors
aud felt no occasion for worry until
the arrival of the supper hour with
out his making an appearance, for he
was not one who would remain away
for a whole day without notifying his
family.
So the father started out just

household began to worry and as the
time heightened and no Lidings came

hood aud in short time a searching

The time has come for action on the
part Of the sub-cOurt of the military
court Of the Senate in the case Of Col.
H. o. s. Heistand and others said to
have been connected with him In the
now famous hemp scandal Up to the
present time, after the lapse Of more
than seven months since the passage
Of Senate resolution directing the in
vestigatiOn of the charges against Col.
H. o. S. Heistand, and incidentally
against his alleged associates Corbin,
Meiklejohn, Allen and Boyd--nothing
has been done, and not even a copy Of
Heistand's answer can be obtained
from the War Department or from the
chairman of the military committee
In fact, there seems to be a determine
tion on the part Of the Government to
keep as much as possible from the
public Of this case of Colonel Heistand
and associates.

charges we're made against Major

designated her for dismissal She re-
turned to Mr. Castles Office and i'm
qured why he had recommended her
discharge Castle again referred her
to Johnson and again repeated that
he knew nothing about IL. and had not
ordered her discharge. Mrs. G. by this

Johnson and informed him Of what
Castle and the Assistant Secretary

the effrontery to state, 1T is all a mis-

after a few minutes a messenger came
from Johnson's office with this very
envelope and laid it down in front of
her.
Mrs G. made the rounds again Of

Southern lady of culture and refine

the eyes Of Castle and Johnson. She

A striking illustration of the growth of

single statement in the annual report of
Rear Admiral X. b. Bradford, Chief OF
the Equipment Bureau Of the Navy, that
he spent $2,273.III last fiscal year for
324.Ie8 tons OF coal at an average of
S7.oI per ton.
The report says that this was nearly
os.7I3 more tons OF coal than were used
during the preceding fiscal year. Ten
years ago the coal consumption was 49,
600 tons per annum. The domestic coal
costs 50 20 per ton. and the foreign coal,
OF which there were used los, 600 tons,
cost $3.50 per ton.
Admiral Bradford has scattered Ameri-
