EntOmbed Miner Was
Stiff and Almost
Paralyzed
Reseuers Pass Basin Of Water to
Human Mole with Which
to Bathe His
Face
BY a Staff Correspondent

Special to The Herald.
BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 21.-
Hicks, the miner who has been
entombed in the Edison tunnel for
thirteen days, was reached by his
rescuers at an early hour this
morning. A basin of water with
which to bathe his face was
passed to him by his rescuers.
BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 20. - L.. B
Hicks, the most wonderful man of the
hour, was reached in the pit in the
heart of the Kern canyon mountains
and will be borne by loving handsmma
at an early hour this morning and
will be borne by loving hands to the
Edison hospital four miles distant.
To man who had spent fourteen
days in one position. buried beneath
thousands of tons of dirt and granite
and protected in four-foot burrow IN
the hill by slab of granite above his
head, the first breath of keen pure air
would be the sweetest thing on earth.
but this was not for Hicks.
To his lungs. tortured by the half
stale air and it's meager supply as it
came seeping through the sand, tile
keen air of night in the mountains
sung like a knife blade and the man
seemed to suffer more agony in that
first second of life than in all the time
of his imprisonment.
The darkness of night and the heavy
fog of the mountain saved the pain
which otherwise would have swept
through the miner, as some stray glim-
mer of light would have reached his
eyes
Hicks was like mole when he was
found. His limbs were cramped
and stiff like those of a man afflicted
with paralysis.
The set muscles of every inch of his
body caused him to groan as he was
being moved.

E CANINE
MEN ACES
Northwest Again Has
Fuel Shortage
Temperature Is Falling Rapidly and If
Blizzard Comes Great Suffering
Will Result-No Cars
to Be Had
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 90
Upon the mere freakish whim of the
weather depends human comfort in
northwestern villages which have been
feeling the menace of fuel famine.
While reports of tardy arrivals of
coal and of hope for relief are coming
in today, tomorrow may renew the
menace if blizzards set in.
Meanwhile the railroads are bending
every effort to rush coal into the i'm
periled districts.
In the main conditions seem better,
though there is still great difficulty in
getting cars; shippers are inclined,
however, to credit the transportation
companies with willingness to aid.
Not enough cars are available to
satisfy the demands. but loaded cars
are moved without delay.
1t is believed, too, that there is a
considerable amount of fuel in transit.
Relief from one source is afforded by
recent arrivals of Illinois coal. Much of
it is being reshipped in the same cars
and hurried into the northwest.
More of this coal is expected and as
long as the northwestern roads can
make prompt returns OF the empties
further help from this source may be
expected.
Failing temperatures are reported
from most of the towns in the north
west, but no sub-zero weather.

HIS DUTY
President Flayed by
Foraker
Says He Misconceived His Constitu-

Negro Troops Without
Court-MartiaI
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-SenntOr For
aker occupied the attention of the sem
ate I'm it's last session before the holi-
day recess today In an extended criti-
cism of the basis of President ROOse-
velt's action In discharging the negro
troops of the Twenty-fifth infantry on
account of the Brownsville raid.
He was replied to briefly by Senator
Lodge, while Senator Scott sustained
the demand of the Ohio senator for a
full Investigation of the matter by the
senate military committee.
resolution directing such an inves-
tigatiOn is before the senate for action
at its next meeting.
Congress adjourned at 2;4S p. IN. un-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Immediate-
ly after the senate convened Senator
Foraker's resolution looking to an
investigation by the senate of the presi-
dents discharge of the three negro
companies of the Twenty fifth infantry
was taken up, and Senator Foraker adj
dressed the senate in its support.
He began with the broad declaration
that "the president misconceived his
constitutional powers when he dis
charged the troops, and he also mis-
conceived the testimony on which his
action was based.'
Mr.. Foraker said that the presidents
rnnGtiftItinnaI nourap ofponIxy 70
command the army and navy as com
mander in chief, while to congress the
constitution gave power to raise the
armies and to make rules and regula-
tions for its government.
The regulations prescribed that no
man could be summarily discharged
without right to be tried and the ar
ticles of war, he argued, prescribed
minutely how these trials are to be
conducted; that all punishments should
be in accordance with the directions of
courts martial.
He contended after reading at length
from the articles of war 1t was incon-
ceiVable that the president should be
absolutely without restraint.
The president, he said, stated in his
message that theSe soldiers were guilty
or mutiny and had been discharged for
that reason. He followed this with the
article OF war providing that a court
martial should direct this punishment
This was all to guard against the
exercise Of am autocratic power Con-
gress, to provide against excessive
punishment, had limited penalties
When Senator Foraker concluded his
remarks he received unanimous con-
sent to modify the resolution so that
1t now directs the senate committee on
military affairs TO investigate the cir
cumstances leading up to the discharge
OF the negro troops.

Estherville, Sept. 1.-THE Cosmo-

our principal streets with show tents,

Estherville's last experience with
street carnival entertainments would
not naturally encourage a REPETITION.
Whether this will prove a success
from the business mems standpoint,
remains to be seen. 1t should be a
winner for the carnival company, since
they pay no license and it is safe to
say seventy-five percent of money
spent will go into their hands.
