couches, sofas and easy chairs in the
rooms open to the public.
Everything is done to make it a
delightful place for women and child

most OF such places. Those who de-
light to "shOot-the-shute'' and in

off at River View.

for many at these places are the
abundances Of crabs and oysters.
Great piles of oysters are heaped up
near the shore at these places, and an
old-time negro is kept busy opening
them all day long, as no extra charge
is asked for them. You eat them right
out of the shell with drop of lemon
juice or catsup if you like them in
that way.
Under arbors you can find at any
time dishes of fresh boiled crabs, and
you sit and enjoy them in the most
primitive manner.
At intervals all the way down the
river you can find these little summer
boarding places that seems so very
remote in every way from their rivals
in the New Jersey coast and other sea-
side resorts.
After you have gone little further
down the river grows very wide and
soon joins the Chesapeake Bay on it's

EQUITABLE WINS
WISCONSIN CASE
Its License May Not Be Revoked
for Failure to Distribute
Surplus.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 21.-The Wiscon-
sin supreme court today decided in
favor of the Equitable Life Assurance
. injunction forbidding Zeno NJ. Host
from revoking the society's license for
doing business in Wisconsin.
The law provides that life insurance
companies doing business in this state
may make distribution Of surplus in two,
three, four or five years. Commission
er Host held that this made distribution
every five years mandatory.
The company secured an injunction
but Judge Dunwiddle in the circuit
court Of Dane county sustained Commits
sioner Host s contention. An appeal
was taken to the stae supreme court.
Had the commissioner been sustained
by the supreme court it is estimated
that about $S,000,000 of surplus would
have been distributed among Wisconsin
policyholders.
: The general ground taken by the
company's counsel was that the word
"may' in the statutes could not be
construed "must' and therefore the
statute was not mandatory. 1t was
further urged by the company's counsel
that even if section 1862 was manda-
tory, yet deferred dividend policies
would remain valid contracts and their
issue in Wisconsin lawful because the
: real relations between mutual life in
surance company and the holders of de.
surance company, and the holders Of de-
a contract nature and hence lawful. -
The attorney general on behalf of the
insurance commissioner held in sub
stance that the statute must be held to
be mandatory and binding as to every
policy written because unless so con
strued it was meaningless. .-... ~.

FACE
Bill ] BLOCKADE (
Upper House Of Congress Must
r. Work Overtime to Get Thru
March 8.
New York Sun Special Service.

(, :. Washington, Feb. 21.-The United
States senate is. now confronted by the
greatest legislative blockade in its his
tory. There. is an unprecedented
amount of business awaiting disposition,
all Of which must receive action
before final adjournment. A program
for converting early and holding night
sessions is now being discussed. It is
probable session will be necessary Sun
day. ~. -.
Nearly all the eontroverted appropria-
ton bills are yet to pass the senate.
The Indian bill will lead to much dis
cussion. It is intended to rush the
naval bill thru under high pressure.
The sundry civil bill, which II always
productive Of long debate, has not
passed the house. The senate appro.
priations committees has taken up the
consideration of amendments to this
measure. Senator Allison and some of
nj his + colleagues a worked all of yesterday
Eleven legislative days Of the session
remain. The swayne impeachment
trial must be concluded within this
governing the canal zone The state
hood question must be settled. Confer.
ence reports on all the appropriation
bills must be arranged and accepted.
Such leaders as attend to the arrange
ment of routine details say the senate
will complete it's work on time, but that
heroic measures must be adopted tt
come out even. The senate must soo1
give at least twelve hoursa day to hard
work. This will prove trying to some
Of the older members, but no alterna
tive is presented.
Word was passed around today that
senators must prepare to concisely dis
cuss all propositions in which they are
interested and forego the interminable
debate that often arises over trifine
matters. This warnings is especially ap
plicable to the naval and sundry civil
bills.
The existing blockade is appalling
even to such veteran as Senator ALI
son, and he realizes that unless tn,
warnings given are needed some i'm
portant affairs must be sighted.

GEORGE LABOR TO
FIGHT RATE I !; BILL
Railroads Adopt New Measures,
Lining Up Employees Against
New Laws.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service. -" =
Chicago, Feb. 21-The railroads are
adopting new measures in their cam
paign to head off rate legislation, ma
tional and state. The Chicago & Alton
road seems to be taking the initiative.
It is believed to be behind a scheme
of coercion by which it's employees will
be lined up in monster "workers' -
fight against the regulation Of rates.
Under the yelled threat Of a prob
able reduction in wages to follow rate
reduction, the labor. organizations rep
resented among the employees Of the
Alton have been persuaded to consent
to the signing Of petition of protest
against congressional and legislative
action.
Action in this direction already has
been taken by Division 10 of the Broth
erhood Of Locomotive Engineers, which
is headed by NJ: E; Butler, engineer of
Chicago and st: Louis. At meeting
held in Bloomington on Sunday the
members of Division 10 adopted reso-
freight rates will be followed by CORE
spending reductions in wages of en-.
ployees. On Thursday the fremen en-
ployed by the Alton will meet in Bloom.
ington for the same purpose. and it is
said similar action will be taken.
The fremen are to be followed by the
trainmen, conductors, railroad machin
lists, boilermakers and all other workers
affiliated with labor organizations. The
dates for these meetings have not bean
set, but all employees concerned have
become cognizant mysteriously Of the
move.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY
TO SLIT THE EVIDENCE
Fruit Of Long, Secret Investiga-

Government.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-The first step lead
ing to possible indictment of members
of the alleged "beef trust ~ was taken.
here today. A special federal grand
jury venire was ordered drawn, and
deputy United States marshals were
sent out with subpenas for witnesses
against, members Of the alleged trust
Indictments will be sought on charges
of direct violation Of an injunction is
sued some time ago by Judge Gross
cup OF the United States circuit court,
restraining members of the alleged trust
from illegally combining in restraint
OF interstate commerce. The decision
Of Judge Grosscup was recently sus- :,
tanned by the United States supreme
court. 49,.
Much Secrecy Maintained.
Much secrecy was maintained con-
corning the affair and the deputy mar
shals were dispatched under orders to
serve the subpenas Immediately and to
make public no facts concerning the
affair.
For more than eight months investi-
cation has been carried on secretly in
Chicago. The orders came from At
torney General Moody to United States
District Attorney Sol Bethea to take
up work on the case. Mr.. Bethea was
twice ordered to Washington to receive
instructions in the matter, and he was
once accompanied by United States
Marshal Ames. Bethea was ordered to
ton and to spare no expense to secure
evidence against violators of the in
junction of Judge Grosscup.
Packers Who Were Restrained.
The men who were restrained by
Judge Grosscup's decision in the beef
case were: j. Ogden Armour, Edward

moned to testify concerning the opera
tiens of the packers. It is believed that
the investigation Of the special grand
jury will cover several weeks. In all,
1856 subpoenas were issued. They are
for subordinates, clerks and other en-
ployees Of the packers. None of the
packers was summoned. The employees
are expected to corroborate by their
testimony evidence secured by govern
ment secret agents.

NINE DEATH TRAP
FOR 10 MINERS
Explosion Entombs Scores of
Toilers Far Underground
in Alabama.
HUNDREDS STRIVE IN
VAIN AT RESCUE
Noxious Gases Drive Men Back,
but Sixty Bodies Are Re-
covered,

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 21.-A tele-
hone message from Bessemer, six
niles from the scene Of the disaster at
Virginia mines, where men have been
,ntoombed by an explosion, said that at
$50 o'clock this morning an uncon-
irmed report reached there that tho
escuers had reached the interior Of
he mine and that sixty dead bodies had
-oeen found.
Whether this rumor is true or false,
is known that practically all hope of
inding any of the imprisoned men alive
las been abandoned. The rescuers dur
ng the night encountered much after
lamp and many Of them had to be
AIKEN to the surface and revived, hav-
.ng been overcome by the fumes. This
eads the rescuers to believe that the
could not possibly have sur
vived.
Victims Far Underground.
An explosion occurred in the mine at
( pm. yesterday, which brought down
I mass of timbers, silt, coal and earth
aear the entrance, completely closing up
he mine; The explosion was the re-
liar as a "dry shot, The men at
work in the mine We're on the sixth lift
Iar underground and beyond the sound
# human voice.
The noise Of the explosion aroused
the entire mining camp and soon a
great ooncourse Of people had gathered
1t the mouth Of the mine. When the
wives and children of the entombed saw
the result Of the explosion, the complete
losing up of the mine, they cried out
In anguish, quickly realizing that unless
strenuous and almost superhuman eff
forts were made their loved ones were
doomed to death. Immediately a large
gang Of men was organized and the
work of opening the entrance to the
mine began, but it was plainly evident
that the task was gigantic one.
Hundreds Volunteer.
Hundreds Of miners gathered at the
Virginia during the night to help in
the rescue work, but only a limited
number could be employed. AS soon as
one shift was tired or overcome by
afterdamp, another was ready to take
it's place and continue the work. r
The mine is some distance off the
railroad and is reached only by wagon
road.
- The latest report from the. mine Is
to the effect that three bodies have
been recovered. All are blackened and
disigured and give evidence of ter
rible struggle. Thousands Of people
gathered about the mouth of the mine
when the bodies were brought up and
distressing scenes were witnessed when
the bodies were identified. The rescuers
are still at work and late rumor says
that no less than fifty dead bodies are
in sight.
At noon practically no hope was held
out Of finding any Of the entombed
men alive The work Of rescue is most
difficult owing to the prevalence OF
noXious gases.
