COOLEI'S NOMINATION HELD Up.
senator Questions IBis Legal ABILITY 10 lie
Assistant AttOrney.General.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Il.-When the Senate
was in executive session this afternoon an
obstacle was placed in the We of the con
iirmation OF the nomination of Afford W.
Cooley of West Chester, y. Y, formerly
a Civil Service Commissioner, TO be As
sistant Attorney General. The obstacle
was in the nature of an inquiry that ex-
pressed doubt as Mr.. Cooley's legal quali-
flcations, and under the senate rule con
siderstion was postponed.
Mr.pCooley is a member OF President
Roosevelt's so called tennis cabinet and
the youngest of the officials here with whom
the President constantly associates. Mr..
Cooley is regarded very highly in Washing
ton and his friends say he has great legal
ability. He looks like a boy OF 20, but as a
matter of fact is 80 years old.
When Mr.. Cooley's nomination az As
sistant AttorneysGeneraI was first sent to
the Senate some criticism was heard. 1t
vas reported yesterday from the Com
mittee on Judiciary with a favorable recon-
mendation. The action OF the committee
in making this report was due partly to a
letter from President Roosevelt to senator
Clarence D. Clark OF Wyoming, the COM
mittee's chairman, in which the President
odd OF Mr.. Cooley's ~creditable career at
the New York bar.
The President aid that Mr.. Cooley's
legal qualifications we're esteemed 40 highly
by George l.. Rives, former Corporation
| Counsel OF New York and a Democrat.
that he offered to appoint Mr.. Cooley to
the office Of Assistant Corporation Counsel.
Mr.. Cooley declined. Mr.. Roosevelt was
very n in urging favorable action
by the committee.
When Mr.. Cooley's nomination was read
in the Senate to-day objection was made
to it's consideration by a Senator who ex-
pressed a desire to make an inquiry at
the Department of Justice regarding Mr..
CooIey's qualifications. 1t is probable.
however, that Mr.. (Ooley's nomination
will be COZ firmed without much delay.

CITY DRIVERS STRIKE OFT.
roo Quit work and n New Eligible List
Is called For.

About two hundred drivers in the Street
Clean ing Department struck yesterday
for more nav and shorter hours and auto
matically lost their Jobs. The men belong
10 Stable A, A. the foot ~ Fast Seventeenth
street, and to Stable q. in Hamilton street.
The dri vers were getting 81 for an eight
hour day but complained that they were
worked at least twelve hours and often
longer with no extra pay.
Commissioned era ven said Yesterday
that a delegation of the mon had waited
upon him and that after listening 10 their
Rrie vances he told them that he was help
Tess, because their pay was fixed by the
Board Of Estimate and not by the depart
ment. He said also that he could not paw
overtime wages because provision for
such pavment was not made in the budget.
Mr.. era ven said il was undoubtedly true
that the dryNrs had 20 work hard at this
time Of the wear, but the work was light
in the summer, and the drivers ought to
lie content 10 AXE The bad with the good.
lie asked the Civil Service Commission
for an eligible list from which to select new
drivers.
Tho drivers strike has caused consider
able ANNOYANCE to j%anitOrs Of Fast Side
tenements. There IL a great demand for
barrels, and where they cannot I've had the
refuse il piled high in the streets. A half
dozen or more filed barrels decorate the
fronts Of most of tho horses along Madison,
Monroe and other East SIDE thOroughfares.

HiSLIIED ENrOWRED roo HOURS.
Man Gov cred by 30 Feet Oc Debris Ans " ers
Message Tapped on Rail.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal. Dec. Ill. B. Hicks,
one of the six miners caught in the big
slide at Camp | of the Edison Fleet rio Com
any last Friday morning, is II i'll alive.
He is buried under seventy feet Of earth
and has been without God for 100 hours
To-day an engineer engaged in the rescue
work tapped on one of the steel rails run
ming from the top of the mountain into the
debris. and in an instant there was a tap
in response.
Once more the rail was tapped and the
answer came from the tomb. Others we're
called TO the point and their efforts 10 COM
municate with the imprisoned man were
rewarded by answering taps.
Immediately all she other camps in the
canon were shut, down and every avail
able man was called 10 the scene. and re-
newed efforts are being made to remove
the debris under which Hicks il buried.
When the accident occurred last Friday
the entombed gang were working in the
main tunnel, seventy feet from the top OF
the mountain, when the great mass OF
earth caved in on them from each side.
Hicks is now in communication with the
rescuers. Hicks made known that he had
talked with his companions for two hours
after the cavein on Friday but that he
had heard no sign from them since. Hicks
believes they are dead.
Food and water were passed TO Hicks
this afternoon n barring accident his
rescue is only a matter of time. The inn
prisoned men told those on the surface
through a pipe hat he is beneath a car
in the debris and that he owes his life to
its protection.

ELECTRIC TRAINS on CENTRAL.
Motor Engines Now Take Trains ss Far
as Highbrldge.


The Yonkers commuter is giving thanks
to-day for the installation Of electric trains
on the Hudson River division OF the New
York Central Railroad. At 1911 yesterday
noon the first train hauled by an electric
motor car left the Grand Central station
and well loaded with passengers. The
electric engine only carried the car as far
as Highbridge. From Highbridge on to
Yonkers a steam locomotive took it's place,
Thereafter all the Yonkers trains were
operated by electricity.
A. soon as possible the electric service
will be extended on the Hudson River
division from Highbridge mp to Yonkers.
The trains on the Harlem division are also
10 he electrically operated in the course Of
time.
Officials OF the New York Central in charge
Of the electric division refuse to make any
guess az to when the electrifcation will
be completed on the Hudson River division
or begun on the Harlem division. They
will only say as soon "a possible"
There was no announcement beforehand
by the Central officials that the electric
service would begin yesterday. No cele-
bration of any kind marked the occasion.
The temporary terminal which has been
built under the Grand Central Palace at
Forty-third street and Lexington avenue
will be opened tomorrow morning for the
despatching and receiving Of all trains
running over the Harlem division. II ia
believed that this will do much to relieve
the congestion at the Forty-second street
station.

SUGAR Trust FINED $780, 600.
Already a. Has Cost thu Company 4 600
for About 100000 IN Rebates.

The American Sugar Refining Company
through its counsel, Tompkins X. McIlvaine,
pleaded guilty yesterday before Judge
Holt in the United States Circuit Court to
five indictments returned against II during
May, July and August and was lined $40, 900
on each OF the fifteen counts, a total Of
$50, 600.
An SIS. 900 fine has already been imposed,
so the sugar company must hand over
sles 900 for accepting about $50, 900 in re-
bates.
The company was to nave been tried
to-day on two of the indictments, for ac-
cepting rebates on sugar shipments made
to the firm Of W. II. Edgar 4 Son in Detroit.
The member of this firm, c. Goodloe Edgar
and Edwin Earle, pleaded guilty on Monday.
Mr.. McIlvaine. in pleading for clemency
for his clients, said that executive officers
Of the sugar companies had no knowledge
OF the rebate agreement with the New York
Central nor had this agreement received
the authorization OF the executive officers.
United States District Attorney Stimson
said that in consideration of the defendants
saving the Government the expense of an
other trial he believed that the ends of
justice would be fully conserved il sub
stantial fines were imposed on each of the
fifteen counts contained in five indictments.
Judge Holt said that it was not the in
tention OF the statute that excessive fines
be imposed. He then fixed a fine of $40 900
on each Of the fifteen counts or a total Of
$3.50, 600. OF this amount the Brooklyn
Cooperage Company, a subsidiary orpora-
ton. must pay 10000 on each Of seven
counts in the one indictment returned
against it.
This makes a total of 1912 900 in fines for
rebating imposed by Judge Holt in less
than thirty days. On the two indictments
for giving rebates on which il was tried
and convicted the New York Central was
fined s12o 900. Frederick s. Pomeroy, its
traffic manager. who has since died, was
fined SO 5000 md a fine of like amount was
imposed upon Edgar and Earle on Monday
last.

Special Cable Despatch 10 The sun.
BERLIN. Dec. IA discovery of great
Importance to philology and history has
lust been made at Cairo by Carl Schmidt,
a German savant, who is an authority on
Coptic and the early Christian archaeology
of Upper Egypt. Some insignificant sheets
of parchment, supposed to be late Coptic
manuscripts of mall value, were offered
to him for sale He at once noticed that
the language was not COptic.
He concluded from the recurrence of the
word -Uru," which among modern Nubians
means king, that the text was written in
Nubian. This was a great discovery, since
Nubian, although still spoken, has long
ceased to be a written language. As soon,
therefore. as the documents can be fully
d~eciphered pathological science will be
richer by knowledge Of the language spoken
by the inhabitants of Nubia before the
invasion Of the Semitic tribes.
A further consequence il that it will
probably now be possible to read the in
scriptions on a large lumber or ancient
monuments in Egypt, which heretofore
have been a mystery. These will doubt
less throw light on the history of the earliest
Nubian races.
Herr Schmidt has ascertained already
that two Of the Nubian fragments are
translations Of Christian works. The first
consists Of a collection OF extracts from the
New Testament, and the second Of a hymn
to the cross. There are frequent references
to st. Paul. Unfortunately the Greek
original of the hymn is not known.
The manuscripts date from the eighth
century. A. D.

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRES.
Heads OF City Departments Think Most Of
Them r q Due to CareIessness.

Ineuh arc Wue 10 tMftirssncts.
The heads Of the city Government think
that the numerous fires OF late in the tene-
ment house districts are not due TO inCen-
diaries but to the carelessness of the ten
ants. Mayor Mcclellan held a conference
on the subject yesterday with Corporation
Counsel Ellison, Fire Commissions Lantry,
Street Cleaning Commissioner Craven,
Tenement House Commissioner Butler,
Health Commissioners Darlington and POLES
Commissioner Bingham. The conferences
was suggested by MI. Lantry, VIII o sought
the cooperation Of the other departmental
heads in enforcing the tenement house laws O..
Mr.. Lantry said that the irebug scare
was hysteria and was ~groundless and went
on to ex plain that many Of the fires we're
due TO the acuumu Iation of infammable ma =
terial in the cellars, halls and fire escapes OF
the and also through the lighting
at this time OF the year OF stoves with de-
fective fiues.
It WAS decided that the Police Depart
ment should undertake the work OF notifying
the tenants and owners to clean ont their
places and that the Street Cleaning Depart
nent should cart the rubbish away as
quickly az II was placed in the street. Mr..
Butler and DR.. Darlington will place a large
staff Of inspectors at work to watch Tor vlo-
lations of the tenement house law.

FRANK ROCKEFELLER LOST SUIT.
L. 8. Court says Verbal Promise Regarding
Note d Binding.

SCRANTON. Pa. Dec. lin the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals here to-day
Judge Archibald rendered an opinion de-
Gliding against the plaintiff in a suit
brought on a si5,OOO note against
Frank Rockefeller. a brother OF John d.
Rockefeller. FRANK Rockefeller was the
plaintiff and the defendant was Pley Wedge,
who was employed by the Standard Oil
Company at Bayonne, N. j., AT 5000 a
year and Ia ter ran a mine for the plaintih.
The mines were unsuccessful and az
matters grew worse there a cattle venture
of Rockefeller's in Kansas City became in
volved and Rockefeller felt the need OF
$40 900. which Wedge raised for him by seeing
William and John ID. Rockefeller. Frank
Rockefeller was so grateful that he told
Wedge he would not collect a note for
SIS 900 that no held against him. This con-
versation took place on a street car.
Months later Rockefeller brought SUIT
on the note. His contention was that the
street car pledge was invalid even II true.
A no confederation had been shown But
he said Il had never been made.
