Suffered From Cold.

A survivor named Martin said: eve
suffered intensely from cold. The
chamber above us was burning, but il
did not temper the cold in the lower
gallery"
Another survivor, LeFebvre, when
asked if he had slept, replied:
I'VE never closed our eyes. Some
times We dozed. but Nemy, who took
command, would not permit us tC
Sleep"
Nemy displayed his watch, which he
had wound up regularly throughout his
Imprisonment. The watch was fast
and therefore the survivors counted
only 16 days from the time of the ex
plosion.
The rescued men are being kept in
semidarkness. DR.. Loutiers, who is in
charge of the patients, says they are
suffering from ptomaine poisoning
caused by eating the decomposed meat
of the horse that persisted near them
The floors of the hospital, where the
rescued men are being treated, are
covered with straw to prevent noise
and the patients are kept in semi
darkness The families of the patients
are admitted to see them for very brief
periods. When the project visited the
men, Nemy, the leader of the rescued
party said:
II have some additional details to
give. My mine boy, Provost, was in
jured by the explosion, and l was
obliged to lead and carry him during
our search for the outlet. his sharp
ears heard three responses to our
calls. Afterward l heard men using
pickaxes, and Provost raped on a wat
err pipe. To this we received repeated
answers. 1t was the noise made by
working party which guided us
out"

Tale of Terrible Suffering.

miners who escaped, graphically de-
scribed their Imprisonment as follows:
after the explosion CROPPED my

seeking refuge from the gases.
found some comrades sheltered in a
remote nitche. We ate earth and bark
for eight days.
1--WE continued to grope among the
bodies, seeking for an outlet from our
prison, but were forced back time and
again. We found some hay and two
days afterward we found dead horse
which we cut up and ate with the
hay and bark. We suffered most for
the want of water. Finally We became
desperate and separated into three
parties and communicated with each
other by shouts. Last night we felt a
draft of fresh air, which finally guild.

This party which escaped originally
numbered 20 men, of whom six dis
appeared during the cropping in the
darkness. A number of the salvage
corps were counted among those
brought out making the actual number
of survivors 10.

SURELY A Miracle
FRENCH COAL Miners ENTOMED
FOR 20 DAYS COME OUT ALIVE,
Thirteen Haggard Miners, Unaided,
Escape From Pit at courrieres-
Live on Hay and Horse Meat-TaIe
Of Terrible Sufferng-others May
Be Found.

Thirteen of the 1900 miners who
were entombed in the coal mines at
Courrieres, France for 20 days
were taken from the mine alive. They
had lived on hay found in one of the
underground stables and the morsals
of food, which they took into the
mine with them nearly three weeks
ago. All attempts to rescue the en-
tombed men had been abandoned more
than two weeks ago.
The sudden appearance of the i'm
prisoned men caused stuperfaction. A
gang of salvagers had just completed
their nights work when they were
startled to see a group Of miners, ter
ribly haggard and exhausted and with
eyes sunken, appear from a remote
part of the pit
The strongest of the party said they
had broken out of a distant gallery
where they had been entombed since
the disaster of March 10.
The rescued men were taken up the
elevator, but were unable to see, ow-
ing to the dazzling daylight. The
mine officials were deeply affected as
the weeping survivors were taken to a
hospital. The men were able to talk
feebly but audfbly. They all asked
for news of relatives or friends and
wished to go home at once.
More Living Men Entombed.
Later crowds besieged the mines in
the hope of further escapes, necessi-
tating the employment of a strong pc.
lice force and detachments of troops
to maintain order. 1t is said that 9th.
ers of the entombed miners are alive
and about to be brought out, their sig.
nails having been heard. One of the
men rescued, man named Nemy, said
that for the first eight days the party
ate the bark off the timbers Of the
mine. Later they found the decompos
ed body of horse, which they cut
and ate with hay. The survivors
brought up portions Of decomposed
horse meat.

Tariff Reform Recruits.

The presidents reply to the Massa-
chusetts shoe. hide and leather men
who came to urge him to recommend to
congress the removal Of the duty on
hides and tariff revision did not re-
ceive much encouragement, but Presi-
dent Roosevelt gave out n piece Of
information that shows how demoraliz-
ed the Republican party Of Massachu-
sets is On the tariff question. He said
he had received q letter from Governor
Elect Hon. Curtis Guild. Jr.. urging in
the strongest terms an immediate re-
vision of the tariff, and especially re-
moving the duty on Hides" The Demo

Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.

The trusts. not content with holding
up Uncle Sam on the price Of supplies
for the Panama canal and the building
Of ships and armor plate, have now
combined to increase the cost Of am
munition. An award has been made
for 100000 cartridges for the army,
and General Crozier calls attention to
the great increase in price and that the
three bids received We're all at n
price-namely, $42.50 per 1000, while
the cost of manufacture was only $50
per 1000. There was a bid made by
the Blake company of $33 per 1000,
but this was withdrawn. The price In
Germany for similar supplies vas $50
per 1000. The trusts seem bound to
drive Uncle Sam to buy abroad or
manufacture what is required In gov
eminent workshops. This cartridge
combine is protected by the tarif with
a 35 per cen adj valorem duty which a
Republican congress imposed to pro-
tect the trust and allow it to rob Peter
to pay Paul-that is, rob Uncle Sam to
pay Uncle San and thus plumber the
American people. Great is protection!

Square Deal on Watered Stocks Aft
er Rate Regulation.

Square Deal on Watered Stocks Aft
er Rate Regulation.
Overcapitalization and paying inter
est on watered stocks are the great in
centives to railroad managers to charge
unreasonable rates. The present pro-
posed railroad rate legislation, which
will soon become the law, will smooth
out some Of the Irregularities that the
people have suffered from, but this is
only the beginning Of the reformation
that will follow. The water will be
eventually squeezed out Of the capital
of all corporations Of a public character
and officials that do not work will draw
no pay, which will allow rates to be re-
duced one-half and pay the real work
ers-the engineers, tiremen, conductors,
brakemen and c~icrks-better wages
than they 10" receive. President
Roosevelt .E"...v, Ills when repre-
sentativcS q! the railroad en-
ployees visited , ..i.te House.
In effect ,ie psvs!ncnt said that in
his schemes Of railroad reform he had
not gone as far as he would like to go;
that, for example, he thought some
thing might be done in the matter of
corporate overcapitalization, which he
held responsible for q smaller wages
fund than the country would have 9th
erwise and for various political and in
dustrial evils.
The people are only on the verge Of
securing freedom from the %plundering
and usurpation of corporations, but
there must be in the end equal rights to
all.

The Way to Real Reform.

Don't imagine the Republican bosses
will lie down after losing the first
round in the late election battle. They
have control Of both houses OF con-
gress and the speaker and the vice
president. The railroads. trusts and
other corporations will fight to the bit
ter end any curtailment Of their vested
interests, and the Republican machine
Will take their money and try some
new dodge to fool the people. Real re-
forms are impossible except through
the Democracy, as the voters evidently
understood by supporting Democratic
candidates mt the late election.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1906-01-04
NO THIRD PARTY NEEDED.
Democratic Principles Broad Enough
to Cover All Glasses.

to Cover All Classes.
The efforts of some reformers to
bring a third party to the front are not
meeting with success. The logic Of
events is against the organization of Il
third party. There is room enough in
the Democratic party for all citizens
who believe in it's fundamental doctrine
Of equal rights to all and special
privileges 80 none" That declaration
is broad enough for all honest voters to
rally around and obtain what this re-
public was founded for and to which
each citizen is entitled-namely, life,
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.
Equal rights to all would compel the
railroads and the trusts to cease plum
dering the many to enrich the few. 1t
would compel equal taxation and so re-
wise the tariff that the special privi-
leges the trusts and combines have
been granted, to indirectly tax the peo-
pie by increasing the prices Of their
products, would be abolished. The alb
clifton Of special privileges would give
every one an equal show, and competi-
ton would again be the business law
Of the land.
The trend Of all patriots is to again
rally around the banner of Democracy,
which is catholic and broad enough to
| cover all classes. Under Democracy the
rich get fair play. Should they ask or
expect more? Under a Democratic ad-
ministration the business man, the
farmer, the mechanic and the laborer
have an equal voice in making the
laws, and there is no class legislation.
Do you feel that you are getting a
square deal under the Republican sys-
TEN of legislating for the benefit of the
few at the expense of the many? Do
you feel that your representative in
congress is legislating in your behalf
or for the benefit Of others who furnish
campaign funds, railroad passes and
other CRAFTS almost too numerous to
mention?
The scandals, corruption and graft
ing under Republican administrations
have become almost universal. The
highest officials Of the Republican par
ty are involved, and Republican sena.
tors and congressman are being con
victed Of crimes by the courts, and
others are in disgrace. Honest Repub
licans are in daily dread Of the expo
sur Of even greater scandals, an6
many have decided that nothing but
voting with the Democrats againsI
their bosses and machine rule viii
bring reformation.
Honest men must get together t.
a v the country from this almost uni
versal corruption of the dominant par
ty.
Third parties are helpless to give re
lief, for under u system of represen
tation it would require years for a new
party to wrest control Of the senate
from a party %intrenched there.
A political crisis is imminent, ant
those who think alike will act togethe
and those who are not in unison will b.
sundered.
Democrats should organize for tn
fray and invite honest Republicans Il
join with them.

GUILTY WILL BE PUNISHED
EVIDENCE IN DISTRICT ATToR"
NEY's HANDS.

Philadelphia. Sept. 1.-Justice is 10
be meted out 10 the men responsible
with Frank II. Nipple, the president OF
the Real Estate Trust company, for
the collapse of the institution. An
nOuncement was made tonight that the
evidence so far uneaTthed by Receiver
Earle had been turned over to District
Attorney Bell, who is expected 10 cause
the arrest Of the wTeckers. The names
OF the men under suspicion were not
made public.
Since his appointment Receiver Earle
has maintained that IL could not hare
been possible for President Nipple TO
entangle the trust company's affairs
without the knowledge of others con-
nected with the institutions. Acting
on this impression he has been per-
sistent 10 his efforts 10 discover evil
dence OF collision. Directors. officials
and clerks OF the company were called
before Mr.. Earle today. 1t was after
6 o'clock when he concluded this part
of his investigation and two hours
afterwards District Attorney Bell was
in Mr.. Earle's office.
The announcement that the evidence
had been placed i'm the district attor-
ney's hands followed
Receiver Consulted Counsel.
This development came after Re-
Ceiver Earle had engaged John O. john
son as counsel TO render an opinion as
10 the responsibility for the failure of
the company.
Among the men who appeared before
the receiver were four directors who
are said 10 have heard of Nipples loans
to Adolph Segal at least several weeks
ago. Treasurer William +. North. who
was supposed to approve all the loans
by the trust company, and Theodore
Prosser. tho company's real estate Of
ficer. who was supposed to approve the
mortgages offered rs security for loans
were also examined.
THE deeper ] get into the thing the
worse il looks" said Receiver Earle
THE trust funds, which l had thought
intact, have been tempered with aud
$50. 600 taken. But this sum is dis
tributed through $26. 100000 the bank
had I'm trust. and the loss will not bt
heavy on any individual"
Mr.. Nipples desk was opened and II
IL was found a statement by Horace
Hill the companys auditor, which, Mr.
Earle says. Is materially different from
the statement Mr.. Hill gave him.
