 vaoes tne Cavern.

Within 6 thousand yards Of Iron bridge, on Barren river, keHtGchE. is located q care which is traIitieaali- known as Magic cavern. One hundred and fifty years ago tl!s cave was dis covered by young Isalian called Count LiI!ien Aal, W..5 came from the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1905-12-24

historic plains Of Lombardy in quest Of adventure ill the new world. This count used the cave as refuge from the hostile savages and as storehouse he brought with him from his native land.
 Magic cavern is the most elusive mystery in southwestern Kentucky, writes Victor Nouder in the Louisville Post It is located on the south bank of the river and adjacent to the famous Wickliffe bottom. For the past 12O years entrance to this underground palace and treasure house has been sought by many persons at various times. Few have entered the opening and none who entered the gloomy chamber has returned to tell the story of his narrowing experiences. No few CT than twenty lives are known to have been lost in vain efforts to secure the treasure reputed to be secreted in a sealed niche of the cave. There is curse upon the place. Wickliffe bottom was the scene of bloody battle, and the perpendicular cliff north of the river, known as Lillienthal's leap, was the place chosen for the climax of shocking tragedy.
 In the early part of the nineteenth century settlers were constantly in search of the Magic cavern and it's thousands of dollars in gold coin and bags of priceless gems In 1864 two white men came to the vicinity, search ed along the river for days and days, then suddenly disappeared. That they perished in an attempt to secure the treasure was the general verdict, for they were tracked to the mouth of cave above suckhole which they are known to have entered and from which they never returned. John Darling of Missouri met similar fate at the same place in 1866
 In the spring of 1880 four Cherokee Indians came to Ironbridge and pitch ed a camp at Lillienthal's leap. They had soiled, rough chart of the vicini- ty which they often consulted. They left their camp early one morning nev CT to return. Like that of the white men, their trail led to an opening in the bluff. What their fate was none may know, but men now living do know that they never returned from Magic cavern alive. Searching parties after days cS fruitless labor failed to locate the entrance of the cave. The mouth of the aperture where the h. dians' tracks led was sealed wall ten feet above the waters edge Blast ing, digging and excavations have proved unavailing in the work of fore ing the sealed doors.
 Recently party of six young men began systematic search for Magic cavern. Several weeks were spent in the work. The leader of the party was John Mays. An entrance to the main cavern was discovered. Mays, leading the way, passed into the interior Sud denly his form shot forward, and he uttered shriek of horror as an invisi- ble power bore him into the bowels of the earth. That was the last of Mays. His companions, terror strick- en, fled from the scene, closing the gap behind them. There is not enough sur plus cash in the Union to induce one of the survivors to go near the place again.
 The history of the cave runs in this wise: In the year ITS Stephen Clay.

 ed by Federation
The Interesting Program of the SeC- end Days Session of the Clubs of Arizona.

The rooms in the Curio building where the Arizona Federation of Women's clubs are holding their meetings were yesterday well filled many ladies other than tEe delegates being in attendance. There were during the day several very interesting talks and much was ac complished. At the close of the after noon session upon a motion made by Mrs. A. E. Began, president of the Wo mans club of Tucson, a resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote in the meeting which declared that as a body the Arizona Federation of Wom- ems clubs is unalterably and unani mously opposed to joint statehood.
 Following the reading and approv- ing of the proceeding of the previous days session Mrs. Shirley Christy read a report of the Sahuara club of Saf- ford the representative from that club being unable to attend. The report showed the work of that club to be purely of a literary nature but an in teresting course of study had been fol- lowed. The Winslow club has sent no re- port to the federation although it is possible one will be received today.
 In the department of history of Ari- <Olle, OhloS boiieiiiOl Ildll Ol I lCSSOll, tiic chairman read most interesting pa per taking as her subject, 'The Makers of Arizona" It is impossible to quote from Miss Halls paper as in its en- tirety it was of such surpassing in terest that no portion could be select ed for special mention. The assemblage voted Miss Hall their thanks for her research into Arizona history. Fol . lowing Miss Hall, Miss Post of Yuma gave some of her personal reminis- cences of incidents of early days in Arizona and more particularly Yuma. She told of the entry of the first tele- graph line into the territory the build ing of the Southern Pacific into Yuma
 the first legal hanging ever conducted in Arizona and of a diamond swindle which back in 1872 attracted world wide notice.

A BAD DAY
 FOR BURTON
New Witness Rises Against
 Him
Another Investment Company Which the Senator Was Ready ta Lock Af- ter in Post Office Department.

St. Louis. Nov. 23.-In a lengthy ex- tempOre opinion, United States Circuit Judge William Van Deventer over ruled a motion to dismiss all the counts in the indictment against United States Senator J. Ralph Burton. charged with having agreed to accept and having accepted compensation to act as an at- torney for the RialtO Grain and Secur- ities company before the postoffice de- partment at Washington, which was filed by the defense immediately fol- lowing the close of the gOvernment's case today. Judge Van Deventer sa.d that the definition or the word -agree- ment" bore pertinentiy upon this con tention. and went deeply into both the legal and commercial meanings of tht. word.
 He held that the agreement was not consJmmated until the representativ- of the RialtO company who had con ducted the negotiations with Senator Burton on train enrOute from St Louis to Chicago. had returned 10 S. Louis and Senator BurtOn's proposition had been accepted by the Rialto com pany. Attorney Lehmann had held the the mere agreeing by Senator Bur ton to accept compensation was aI li4dt He tune OSlcluaIlll Was account able for. and that had occurred in uli- nois. Judge Van Deventer then denie,l the motion and allowed an exception to the decision
 One of the most important witnesses brought forward by the gOvernmens was placed on the stand today and the testimony given, which was regarded as very damaging 10 MT. Burton The witness. Charles H. Brooks. did not ap- pear at the former trial. His testi- mony was to the effect that SenatOr Burton had been introduced to him with the recommendation that he eu,- plOy the senator who would. it was stated. be a valuable man for him. in the light of a pending investigation by the postoffice department of an invest ment concern of which he was the president.

direct, equal, and secret ballot and formal grant to first douma of power to elaborate q constitution for the empire
 Friends Of Count Witte on the floor made 2 stout fight against provision for direct ballot, one concession which the premier considers it impos- sible to grant. This provision was carried over their heads by a two- thirds majority.
 The resolution in it's final form is substantially the same as cabled yes terday. The committee to which it was referred for further consideration made numerous alterations in phraseology, but little change in substance, except the insertion of a demand for the inn mediate abolition of the martial law in Poland as among the measures deemed to be imperative before the conVocation of the douma.
 The congress also inserted at the suggestion of the committee a provi- sion submitting all ministers except court ministers to the responsibility of the cabinet, M. Mulil1off explaining that with the ministers of war, navy and foreign affairs excepted from such responsibility not only could war or peace be decided without consulting the premier, but the minister of war could declare martial law in any sec tion of the country without consulting his colleagues.
 The committee rejected an amend ment proposed by Prof Kovalevski for the creation of a committee of zemstvoists to act in an advisory ca pacity with Count Witte until the meeting of the douma.

HIS GENERAL
 EMPLOYMENT
The CantankerOuSFrien of
 Senator Depew
In Receipt for Years of Retaine from
 Insurance Companies Whom He
 Served During Legislative Seasons.

New York, Nov. 23.-It was late in the afternoon today when MT. Hughes counsel for the legislative insurance in vestigating committee called to the witness chair Wm. $. Manning of Al bany, referred to in letters addressed by John A. Nichols to Senator Depew at a previous session as your cantan- kerous friend up the river"
 MT. Manning was the most interest ing witnes of the day and was ques- tioned closely by MT. Hughes as to his conection with the life insurance busi- ness. He detailed his work for various companies for many years, and came gradually to the time he took up in surance work in Albany and he testi- fled that he was paid $450 a year by John A. Nichols "to protect life insur- ance interests always the interests of the business. but not the interests of the officers"
 After several years he said this amount was reduced to $500. He did not know where Mr. Nichols was get ting the money and had never inquir- ed. Ho denied that he had ever re- ceived money from the Equitable Life Assurance society. When his fee was reduced, however, he understood that the Equitable, the Mutual Life and the New York Life had each paid s150 and that the reduction was due to the fact that the New York Life had dropped out Of the agreement.
 An interesting part of testimony was reached when MT. Hughes inquired concerning the state insurance investi- gation of 1877. Mir. Manning said he had acted as expert there and found that the report of the proceedings were "garbled and untrue" He testi- fled that he secured a corrected repor. of the proceedings from the official stenographer and had the volume printed the alleged garbled parts be- ing printed in italics. This report was sold to some insurance companies for $50 per copy. The volume was copy lighted, the copy right being secured to prevent the publication of testimony contained in work. He denied that he had ever made arrangements with the insurance companies to stop the publi- cation of his book.
 "I just gave it up" he said when MT. Hughes inquired. Thee committee ad- journed while Mir. Manning was on the stand, until tomorrow.
