taken to compel their coming.
Evidence upon which to base prose-
cutiOns against the packers was OBJ

mitted freely that there was no pre-
tense toward maintaining tariff rates
on packing house products and dressed
meats for export or domestic use, ex-
cept for very short period of time at

Paul Morton, second vice president of
the Santa Fe; A. c. Bird. third vice
president Of the st. Paul; j. NJ. John

arranged in advance and at its conclu-
sion Admiral Schley left the White House
in satisfied state Of mind. He had been
given a full opportunity to present the
case from his standpoint and to acquaint
the president with many details with
which the latter could not have any
knowledge.
While Admiral Schley would not make
any statement regarding the matters dis
cussed, holding that any interview be-
tween a naval officer and his commander
in-chief should be regarded as conhden-
tial it is understood that ne brought to
the presidents attention many Of the al
legged iniustices and discrepancies OF the
majority report OF the court OF inquiry.

president was the result Of his determin-
alton to exhaust every means in his pow

UNLUCKY MINE
MINERS TOMB
Scores of Lives Lost by Walls
of Shaft Gazing In.
BURIED MEN PROBABLY DEAD
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
WORKERS HAD JUST LEFT.

NEGAUNEE. Mich, Jan. THE
N most distressing accident occur
ring in this country for
years occurred at the Negaunee
mine today noon, when, by a
cave-in. the lives of thirteen to seven
teen miners are thought to have been
lost. The cave-in was at the bottom
OF the old shaft. Had it occurred half
an hour sooner about 80 men would
have been killed.
The names Of the dead so far as
known are: William Williams, mar
ried; John Sullivan, single; John Pas
coe. single; John Pearce, married; ia
cob Hunlalla, married.
Thus far but one body has been
taken out. that of Hunlalla and one
man was rescued alive.
It is thought the other bodies cannot
be reached within twenty-four hours.
The miner rescued is Dominica Basso,
an Italian. Basso describes the disas-
ter in the mine a follows:
I'VE were seated around the pump at
the bottom of the shaft, when, without
any warning. thousands of tons Of ore
came down. 1 remembered no more
until I heard the sound of picks and
shovels in the hands Of the rescuers,
and their shouts. / was in total dark
mes. and my feelings cannot be de-
scribed. What seemed ages TO me was
but minutes. When rescuers found me
1 was seventy-five feet from the place
where 1 was sitting and found myself
in a drift. How I got there is mys-
terry. but can only be accounted for by
the conclusion of the wind"
The Negaunee mine is one of the
most unlucky properties in the Lake
Superior district Much trouble in
sinking and drifting has resulted from
surplus water and quicksands. II was
at this mine that 81 900. O0O was recently
expended TO sink a shaft TO the ledge.

calculated to make man fashionable,
