Recovered.

Granville, N. Y, Oct. TEN men
met instant death at the quarry of the
Vermont Slate company here Friday,
when about 100 feet of the west. bank
crashed down without warning, bury
ing the vicLIms under hundreds of tons
of slate and loose earth. Five bodies
were recovered, but it is doubtful
whether the others can be reached be-
fore next week. The dead, with the
exception of John G. Williams, presi-
dent and treasurer of the company,
are all Hungarians. The slide oc-
Cured at $50 o'clock in the morning,
while the gang was at work in the
quarry, directed by Mr.. Williams, and
the men were caught like rats in a
trap. Mr.. Williams was standing near
the edge of the bank, while the others
were below in the pit. He had just
raised his arm to signal the engineer
in charge of the hosting engine when
the bank gave way, carrying. him into

SEEK SPEEDY END OF WAR.
Russo-Japanese Peace Treaty to Be
come Effective as Soon as Pact
Is Approved.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The treaty Of
peace between Russia and Japan will
become effective upon it's approval,
without waiting the formal exchange
of notifications at Washington. This in
formation was impaired at the Japanese
legation Monday. This course has been
decided upon that the speediest possible
termination of the war may be had.
The treaty, it is understood, has passed
through the necessary preliminary
stages of approval in each country and
is now before the respective emperors OF
Japan and Russia for the royal signature.
AS soon as it has been signed this fact
will be communicated by cable to the
state department at Washington and
the Washington government will ap-
prise each emperor of the act of the 9TH
er. With this accomplished the war will
be at an end
The formal exchange of notifications
will be carried out in Washington as
soon thereafter as the signed treaties
reach here.
Precedent is found for the telegrahic
exchange of notifications in the manner
in which the last treaty between the
United States and China was made OPP
erative.

five companies and logging firms at
work preparing camps for the winter,

RELATIVES ENRICHED.
Members of Family of President OF
Mutual Life Draw Millions
in Commissions.

New York, Oct. 6.-That the astound-
ing total of more than $2,60O,O00 has
been paid as commissions by the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company to two
members of the family of Richard A.
McCurdy, president of the company,
and the promise of District Attorney
Jerome that the insurance scandals
certainly will be submitted later to

ance situation Thursday. 1t was

expected his income this year would
be about $4,000.
Mr.. Jerome in announcing in court
| that the scandals will be submitted to
an extraordinary grand jury, said the
inquiry by the legislative committee
had shown greater moral obliquity
and moral obtuseness on the part of
persons important in the business
world than did the shocking revela-
lions in regard to the Equitable Life"

| state of Missouri has served formal

dence before the legislative insurance
investigating committee a sensational
development came when Mr.. Hughes

ICE FAMINE THREATENED.
Supply in Chicago and the Middle
West Is Rapidly Growing
Lower.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-With only enough
ice to supply the demand for seven
days if the weather of the last week
should continue Chicago is confronted
with an ice famine of such alarming
proportions that the dealers of the city
are securing the country endeavoring
to secure sufficient ice to tide over un-
til the cool weather sets in. Not only
is Chicago stricken with a shortage
of ice, but even southern Canada is
seeking ice wherever obtainable and
st. Paul, Mimi, in the northwest is
also without sufficient ice to supply
the needs of the city. The famine ex-
tends through the entire middle sec
ton of the United States. Out of 35
dealers of magnitude in Chicago there
are but five that are able to provide
their customers with the usual sup
ply of ice.

Chicago City Council Defeats DUNES
Project for Municipal Ownership
by Big Majority.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-Mayor Dunno
forced his contract plan" for municipal
ownership to an issue at the city coun-
Gil meeting Monday evening. When
the battle was over his pet project was
ANONYMOUSLY defeated and he himself
Inundated to degree unknown to any
mayor Chicago ever had.
1t was the most sensational council
meeting known in the history of the
city since the one occasion when two
contesting parties fought over the cleo
ton Of mayor to fill the unexpired
term of the first Mayor Harrison. 1t
lacked the physical violence of that con-
test, but it made up in the bitterness of
the debate. Aldermen told each other
exactly what they thought of them, and
personal illusions were the order of the
evening.
Mayor Dunno was beaten, and de-
cisively beaten, on two roll calls. On
one of them the aldermen set aside a
ruling of his by a vote of Al to %, and on
the second sent to the hostile committee
on local transportation an order he had
introduced instructing the committee
how to act. The vote on this was 46 to
Is. two-thirds majority against the
