EASILY WIN MEET.
Rock Island High School Athletes
Put Competitors in Also
Ran" Class Saturday.
SCORED MoRETHANHALF POINTS
EntitIed to Hold New Loving Cup a
Year-Record of the
Events.

Davenport and Moline high schools
were outclassed in the track and field
meet at the Ninth street track Satur-
day afternoon. Rock Island athletes
scored more points than both of the
competing schools. scoring 74% points
to 321a for Davenport and - for Mo
line. Rock Island therefore holds the
silver loving cup purchased by the
three schools this season.
No records were broken, though
good marks were made in nearly ev-
cry event. Most notable. perhaps.
was the time of 10 Is in the 100-yard
dash, which was won by Millspaugh,
of Davenport.
The showing made by the local boys
indicates that the team, while not
possessing any particular stars. is eX-
ceptionally good for all around work.
and judging by Saturdays meet and
the one at Galesburg a week earlier
it is doubtful if there is another school
in the state with n team that is SUI
perior.

TRUSTED MAN GOES WRONG
Been Going Wrong for Twenty-Five Years
and the Bank Is Out
100000,

Nashua, y. H, Jan. 26.-The illegal
manipulation of notes held by the bank
during a period covering nearly quar-
ter of century, and subsequent at
tempts to make good shortage by
speculation. are the causes assigned by
the directors of the Nashua Trust COM
pany for the arrest of their treasurer,
John p. Goggin. and the closing of
the doors of the institution Many of
the noles accepted by the treasurer
without the knowledge of the directors
were taken for accumulated interest
Of other notes dating back several
years. Goggin's shortage is estimated
at 100000, $4,000 of which is said
to have been lost in speculation.
After being held at the police station
until IL p. III. Goggin was released
on bail, bonds for $4,000 being fur
nished by his father, John ]. Goggin,
and nine others. Goggin's counsel
maintains that his client was unwit-
tingly the victim of another to whom
be was under obligations.

to walk. They report that dead are
scattered one above the other as thick

INTIMIDATION Is CHARGED
Defense In th,s Machen Case Finds Fault
with the Bearing of the Postof-
fee InsDectors.

Washington, Jan. q. Testimony
designed to show the existence of a
conspiracy to defraud the government
was introduced by the prosecution In
the postal trial. Diller B. Croft, in his
own behalf, declared that when the
inspectors called on him their manner
was overbearing, gruff and buildoz-
ing. He testified that the inspectors
had said to him that they wanted to
arrest two men, 'and If you will give
us the Information that will convict
them we will give you $4,000 and let
you ride in the government band wag-
on and we will ride with flying coIors. -
1t subsequently was brought out
that the $4,000 referred to represent
ed the amount the government owed
the Groffs, and payment for which
had been held up. Douglass, for the
defense, charged that the whole case
was honeycombed with intimidation.
Postoffice Inspector Mayer came IN for
a searching cross-examinati0n, and ad-
mitted that in an affidavit made by
himself referring to an interview he
had with Samuel A. Grof he had omit
ted cextain replies made by Gron, but
denied that he resortei to threats In
order to elicit the statements from
Croft.

the cage steam was used. but after the
cage had gone up certain distance
under steam pressure the steam was
shut off by the engineer and the weight
of the counter-balancing descending
cage in the other shaft compartment
was allowed to bring the load of min
ers to the surface, as is the custom.
When the cage with the miners ar
rived at the surface the engineer, TO
his horror discovered that theair brakes
would not work. The men dropped l.,
800 feet.
Only one body that could be identi-
fed has been taken from the shaft
1t was that of Harry Goegen, and wac
terribly mutilated. Fragments of fc"r
or more bodies were recovered fIvn
the various levels, and many articles
of clothing which were tern from the

gle between the union and non-union
forces, woodcarvers and hardwood
workers have broken with the own

struck. The Chair company commenced
the struggle by announcing that it
would go back TO the old piece system
aid that Il days labor would be ten
and not Lime hours. The shop will be
known in future as open
Other men are following suit, viz,
the employees of Smith, Day & Co.,

ganization. that allthe eemployers named
are members and that they are all
standing together to work against the
unions

NOBODY GETS AWAY
Chicago coroner's Jury Makes a
Roundup in the Iroquois
Fire Case.
MAYOR ON THE cULPR1T LIST
Will j. Davis Is Another Who Is
Blamed and All, Are Held to
the Grand Jury.

Chicago. jan. 26. The coroners
jury which for three weeks has been
listening to evidence relating to the
fire in the Iroquois theater has rem
dered verdict by which the follow
ing persons are held to await the ac-
tion of the grand jury: Carter H.
Harrison. mayor of Chicago; Will j.
Davis, proprietor in part and manager
Of the theater; Fire Marshal William
H. Musham; George Williams, build
ing commissioner of the city; Edward
Laughlin, building inspector under
Williams; William Sallers, fireman In
carpenter; William Mullen, who had
charge of the light that caused the
fire.
Jury Lost No Time.
There were over 10000 words of
testimony, and each juror would, ac-
eording to the law, be compelled to
sign his name to the testimony of each
witness, which meant that each man
would be compelled to write his name
572 times. This work alone, the cor
oner estimated, would consume five
hours. There was therefore considera-
bic surprise when the jury announced
that ii had reached a verdict and was
ready to report. 1t was at once de-
cided by the coroner that all men who
should be held by the verdict to the
grand jury should be taken into GUS
tody at once.
Didn't Expect Some to Run.
Il do not expect that some of these
men who are likely to be held will try
to escape" said the coroner, but some
of them who have not large property
interests might take it into their heads
to do so. do not intepd that there
shall be any mistakes IN that direc-
tion laid to my department. If l cause
the arrest of one of them l am COM
PEELED to cause the arrest of all. and
there will be no favoritism shown, no
matter who are the men held by the
jury" AS soon as the finding of the
jury was announced ii was intended
to at once send for tie men named
In the verdict. with orders to bring
them I'm at once, and if ss7ey could not
furnish bail. they were to be taken
to the county jail for the night.

Awaiting Removal to

Pittsburg, jan 27.-Even the ele-
ments seem conspiring to prevent the
work of rescue at the Harwick mine
Almost zero weather. and a bitter. bit
ing, cruel wind late in the afternoon
swept down over the little valley where
the mine is located, and nearly added
another list of dead to the long black
table already measured Off Not only
was the work of search for the dead
and living, if any are still alive, rude
ly interrupted, but cold and ice and
wind combined nearly cost the lives Of
sixteen more good men.
Sixteen Men Go Down.
AT p. m. sixteen men went down
into the shaft to do the work of brat
ticing, bolstering. tunnelling and re-
moving the debris that has SO far
barred their progress into the work,
ings where the men were at labor
when the explosion came. Their shift
was supposed to be of three hours
only. Even at that it was hard task.
Even before the bucket reached the
bottom they were drenched with wat
er, which the cold draught through the
shaft soon turned to ice. Shortly aft
er they were let down, two at a time,
in the bucket, a temporary hoist that
had been rigged up to bring up the
debris and the dead was started down
the shaft.
Cage Sticks in the Shaft.
Then came the snow and the wind
Again and again efforts were made to
reach the living pA1 at the bottom
of the shaft, but tne wooden sides Of
to the iron guide slide and there were
hours of manoeuvering to reach the
bottom. The men below had no means
of warmth, and many of them were
standing in deep water. Every effort
was made to lower the cage. and final
twelve feet of the bottom. A timber
blown across the way by the explosion
was in the path.
Twelve Bodies Await Hosting.
The men We're within easy reach of
rope, but their fingers were numbed
and almost frozen by the cold and
unable to grasp the offered help. 1t
was p. M when the first three men
of the party who went down at 3 p.
m. were brought to the surface. Not
one of them was able to walk, so
numb were they by the cold, and it
was 10 p. m. before they were all
brought up. They had brought twelve
corpses to the bottom of the shaft.
There were many more there, but there
was also evidence that many were
blown to shreds and would never be
found. a few minutes later three men
went down.

Ex-Speaker Adams = Bedford
Murder Mystery.

Petersburg, Ind, JAN. Pit is re-
ported here that William Gait. who
was arrested by and afterwards escaped
from Marshal Watson, while charged
with having outraged Ms. Lafe Ded-
man in the presence of her husband,
who was held at the point of re-
volver, at Gladish chapel, has returned
to Pike county and is being secreted
at the home of relatives. This report
is given impetus by reports that rela-
tives of Gait came to town and pur-
chased clothing that would fit Gait. A
supply of cartridges was also pur-
chased.
Excuse for the Boy Involved.
Officers are making no attempt to
apprehend the fugitive aside from hav-
ing Cats house closely guarded. Sher-
iff Reed admits that three additional
warrants have been issued for alleged
accomplices. The father of one of the
Toys overtaken and returned to this
city charged with the same crime says
he will prove that his son was only
an eyewitness to the deplorable affair,
and that he ran away to obviate be-
ing compelled to testify against others.
Scream Was Uttered by Boy.
Bedford, Ind, Jan. 27.-Very little
has been accomplish I'd by the commit
tee on public safety in the Schafer
murder case 1t has developed that
the cryof distress heard about Q o. clock
on the night of the murder of Miss
Schafer by Mrs. Elliott and Mrs. La
force and her daughter, which was at
first supposed to have been the death
wall of Miss Schafer, has no connec-
ton whatever with the crime. 1t has
been established that mother in that
neighborhood was i'm the act Of punish
ing a son when the latter ran out of
the house to the perch and uttered sev-
eral screams before he could be re-
turned to the house.

An attempt TO dir rive the theory
of mistaken identity has resulted ia
partial success. y ct rtain domestic
whc is about the same stature of the
murdered girl secured n divorce from
her husband some time ago upon the
grounds of threats against her life.
The theory was advanceu rnat the
husband might have mistaken Miss
Schafer for his wife. The police be-
lieve this theory is exploded by the
belief of the mans wife, who ridicules
the idea that her husband still harbors
vengeance against her.

THOUGHT BETTER OF HIS IDEA


City Officials Not Observation-Disclosures of
the Jury's Finding.
But the coroner thought better Of it.
After he found the mayor of the city
on the list he decided that it would not
be necessary to arrest Mayor Harrison.
Fire Marshal Musham and Building
Commissioner Williams. and no Off
GERS were sent for them. MitimusSes
Of the other six men.
The findings were as follows: The
cause of the fire was drapery coming
In contact with a flood or arc light;
city laws were not complied with re-
lating to building ordinances regulating
fire alarm boxes, fire apparatus. ETC.; as
bestos curtain was wholly inadequate.
Will ]. Davis was held responsible
as president and general manager. He
was primarily responsible for the OBJ
servance Of the laws, and was bound
to see that his employees were properly
instructed as to their duties in case
of fire.
In relation to Mayor Harrison the
verdict reads as follows: I'VE hold
Carter H. Harrison. as mayor of the
city of Chicago. responsible, as he has
shown lamentable lack of force and
for efforts to escape responsibility eyi-
denccd by the testimony of Building
Commissioner Williams and Fire Mar
shal Musham. as heads of departments
under the said Carter H. Harrison fol-
lowing this weak course, has given
Chicago inefficient service which makes
such calamities as the Iroquois theater
horror menace until the public serv-
ice is purged of incompetents."
Building Commissioner Williams
was held ~for gross neglect of his
duty in allowing the theater to open
its doors to the public, when the said
theater was incomplete, and did not
comply with the building ordinances
Of the city of Chicago:"
Fire Marshal Musham was held re-
sponsible for gross LegIect of duty
in not enforcing the city ordinances,
and failure to have their subordinate,
William Sallers, fireman at the theater,
report to him of the lack OF fire ap-
paratus in the theater."
Sallers was held for not reporting
the lack of fire apparatus, Mullen
for carelessness In handling the light
that caused the fire, Commings, as
stage carpenter, for not providing the
stage with proper fire protection.
