news occasioned great excitement in
this city and for more than forty
Ave minutes pandemonium reigned;
firebells were rung whistles blown
and firearms discharged. Hicks was
entombed alive under sixty feet Of de-

IL miles northeast OF this city. Five
OF his fellow workmen were buried at
the same time by the cave-in. under
thousands OF tons of earth and rock.
The men had just begun work In the
tunnel which is being built to aid
In generating power from the waters
Of the Kern river, when without warn
ing the perpendicular shaft above
them collapsed No immediate help
could be given. The work Of rescuing
the bodies was Immediately begun and
prosecuted with vigor. but owing to
the yielding nature Of the soil, slow
progress was made. Hope had been
abandoned when three days after the
disaster a sound OF tapping on the
water pipe was heard. Instantly a
response was sent and the answering
raps proved that at least one Of the
imprisoned men was alive. Conmuni-
cation was established through this
pipe with the man at the bottom. The
man proved to be Hicks, whose life
had been saved by steel car under
which he had been pinned.
His five companions were dead
Hicks was fed and entertained through
this pipe and the work Of rescue has
been pursued perslstetnly night and
day until tonight, when the man was
removed from his niche.

for Car Shortage.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-Franklin
X. Lane, one Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. stated tonight that
the coal situation In the West has
been greatly relieved. Speaking Of his
recent trip through the West. Lane
said there was a serious terminal con-
gestion.
He said that shippers who complain
Of the railroads. should have foreseen
the car shortage and been prepared.
He says J. J. Hill has suggested that
the railroads spend five billion dollars
at the rate Of a billion a year In buy
Inc equipment. double tracking and
quadruple tracking, putting In new
switches and enlarging terminals.
Lane says that both In Chicago and
Minneapolis positive proof has been
given that the tense situation il due
to faulty management as well as to
inadequate equipment. Lane said that
Midgley's suggestion Of a car clear

under which cars may be used to best
advantage. Is good one. Lane said
he did not care to discuss the remedy
He said that he thought beyond ques-
tion that the commission has no pow
er in the matter, and that It must be
left to the railroads themselves. II
they cannot successfully cope with
it, then the law should be made to-
cover such cases. IN

Christmas Traffic Liable TO Be Held

Companies Offer Four cents
out Of Five.

NEW YORK. Dec. a2.--whether
there win be tie-up OF Christmas
freight In the yards OF eight OF the
big railroads having terminals In New
York and Jersey city was dependent
on the outcome OF q conference
which was held today at the ofiice
Of the Central Railroad OF New Jer-
sey In this city. The eight roads con-
cerned were the Pennsylvania, Erie.
Lehigh Valley, Central of New Jersey.
Long Island. Baltimore q Ohio. Lack
awanna and Staten Island and the Ra-
pid Transit. The yardmen employed
on those roads gave the managers un-
III today to decide whether to grant
them an increase or : cents an hour
In wages.
Most OF the road had agreed to an
Increase Of cents an hour, Although
the railroad officials. admitted today
that the situation seemed acute there
was no talk of yielding on either side
before the conference. although P. H.
Morrlssey. grand master of the rail-
road trainmen, had said that was no
reason to suppose that the men would
strike.
During the afternoon all the indlca-
tlons pointed to a prolonged session Of
the conference. A messenger was sent
out about 1880 o'clock TO order lunch-
con sent to the conference room.
Tho men who have made the de-
mands number about 5000 and are
employed exclusively In the railroad
terminals. They ask that wages be
made equal to those OF the men en-
ployed In the West who do the same
work. The New York Central, New
York, New Haven q Hartford have
conceded the new schedule and will
have no trouble.
A strike OF this kind would likely
tie up traffic for some days and would
probably be serious matter for New
York, as the food supplies of al kinds
would be held up.
The ultimatum sent by tho men gave
the roads until noon today to grant
the demand, but the strike, II one Is
ordered. win not so into effect until
midnight.
