gan rang for more air pressure, and the
men redoubled their efforts, but all to
no avail. Suddenly, while Jernigan
himself was working at the breach, the
Italians bolted. Jernigan yelled at
them, but they were too desperately
frightened and ran at the top Of their
speed for the air lock. The other men
paused undecided for an instant, and
then they, too, followed. It seemed GER
tain death to remain with that stream
of water pouring into the tunnel. 1t
would require only q moment to wear
larger hole, and then the whole river
would be in Oh them, and there were
nearly 600 feet of running to the air
lock and safety.
Jernigan looked around. Only Swan
son was left, calmly yet swiftly gath
ering up more clay balls.
For an instpnt the two men looked at
each o1her. Jernigan had promised to
see the work through, and see it
through he would, water or no water.
Swanson saw him spring suddenly up
on the low earth bank which the men
used when working around the upper
rim of the tunnel. He turned swiftly
and braced himself into the mud OF the
tunnels end, driving his body into the
pocket Of quicksand.
.'Here, Swanson, plug me in," he or
dered.
Swanson brought clay balls and drove
them into the mud around Jernigan's
body. "Shes comm fast, Meester Yer
nigan," he observed. The water pour
ed out everywhere around him, and
when the clay oegan to stop its course
the pressure was SO great on Jernt-
gan's back that Swanson was compel
led to push against him and hold him
in with one OF his huge hands while
with the other he plugged away with
the clay.
"G,ve it to her, Swanson" said Jerni-
gan ,cheerfully, although his face was
twisted with the pain Of his position.
Swanson worked furiously, with the
water rising about his legs. The other
workmen were already safe in the air
lock. The dim tunnel seemed like a
long pathway Of water, for the road
way was now completely covered. For
time it. seemed an even chance
against the incoming water. Then,
with Swanson's clay and the increas-
ing air pressure, the flow slowly less
ened.
"Were beating her." observed the
sub-boss.
Swanson removed his hand from Jer-
nigan's body, for the air pressure now
supported him firmly in place. More
clay was brought and plugged IN
around Jernigan's body, and presently
the tunnel no longer grumbled.
"Now, Swanson" said Jernigan, you
70 up and get those men out here" He
said other things about his crew mol
necessary to set down in this place.
Swanson started promptly, but nc
had not gone far when he heard Jernl
gan shout. He turned and saw the
sub-boss spread out his arms and be

MAYER TOPROSECUTE
Attorney General Will Force
Restitution of Funds.
MUTUAL LIFE MEN MUST ANSWER.
New York Report Says Insurance
Chiefs Who Enriched Themselves at
Policy Holders Expense VIII
Have 20 stand Suit.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15--Attorney Gen
eral Mayer has practically decided tx
bring suits for restitution, it Is report
ed, against three men for the mis-
| management, waste and extravaganza
in the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany.
Richard A. McCurdy former presi
| dent, for the recovery of part Of his
salary Of $150,000 year OH the ground
that the committee which increased his
pay had no legal existence. The salary
committee was appointed twenty years
ago and was never reappointed, though
the bylaws of the company prohibit the
appointment of any committee or the
election of any officer for longer thar
one year.
~Hobert II. McCurdy, former general
manager and son of Richard A. Nc.
Curly, for the recovery of part of the
excessive commissions lie drew as O
member of the agency firm OF G. H.
Raymond a. Co., and also for the re-
covery of part of the excessive com
missions paid him as head OF the for
cigp department
Louis A. Thebaud, son-in-law OF
Richard A. McCurdy, for the recovery
of part OF the excessive commissions
paid TO him as member of the agency
firm of G. III. Raymond g. Co. @. III.
Raymond will also be involved in this
suit.
The members of the agency commit
tee for Permitting the payment OF the
excessive commissions to Robert II.
McCurdy and c. Fl. Raymond q Co.
These men include III. FL. Rogers Of the
Standard on company and William HI.
Truesdale, chairman of the Mutual
T.ife's investigating committee.
The members OF the finance commit
toe who participated in syndicates in
which the Mutual Life was an UNDER
writer or purchaser Of the securities
marketed by the syndicates. These
members include Frederic Cromwell,
Augustus G. Juilliard, George G. Ha-
ven, Robert A. Granniss and James n.
Jaryie.
No official announcement of his pur-
pose will be made by the attorney gen
eral until after the report of the Arm
strong committee has been submitted
TO the legislature.
There are large number of trustees
of the Mutual who had no direct con-
nection with any of the numerous
schemes by which their associates en-
riched themselves at the expense of
the policy holders. 1t is not considered
probable by those familiar with the
plans of the attorney general that he
will bring an omnibus suit against all
the Mutual Life trustees, as he did in
the case of the Equitable directors.

el containing several thousands Of dol.

while the man who had Just drawn the
money turned for minute TO speak
with friend. Both he and his friend

Laban Dennis, secretary of the George

the bank about noon to draw 81, 100,

Such a proceeding would have taken

men Were Helpless.

HAVERSTRAW, N. Y, Jan. 10.-A
large force of men worked almost fran
tically to uncover the ruins of the
houses carried down In the landslide
here. There has been little success
owing to the great mass of clay to be
moved and to the fact that where the
houses had burned the debris was so
hot that the work was very slow. 1t is
estimated that twenty or more
persons were dead as a result of the
falling away of the ground and the fire
that followed
The names of those supposed to have
been killed follow: Joseph Albert, the
Rev. Mr. Alden, Jewish rabbi, Mrs.
Bayler, Abraham Bias, John Bennett
Mr.. aud Mrs. William Cohen and their
five children, Thomas Hughes, Bartlett
MeGovern, Mr.. and Mrs. Mannion,
Harris Nelson, a clothing merchant,
and his son Benjamin and Mrs. Silver
man and child.
The accident. which brought sudden
or lingering death to more than score
of persons who in their own homes had
no idea that they were In danger, was
of an extraordinary character. Women
and children. sleeping peacefully in
their beds, were pinioned and buried in
debris when their homes toppled over a
precipice Il hundred feet high and crum-
bled and smashed In ruin. From the
heaped up wreckage flames began TO
leap before there was time to realize
exactly what had happened, and smoke
and suffocating gases brought slow
death to those whose lives had not been
crushed out or whom the fire had not
reached.
The appalling character of the acct
dent was heightened by the failure Of
the water supply, due to the bursting of
the big main that supplied the neigh
boring hydrants. When the tons OF soft
clay slipped away from under the ROW
Of houses on the bank the main was
left unsupported and the torrents Of
water that might have been used in
fighting the flames ran to waste.
The firemen were helpless in the face
of this disaster. The wrecked houses
became a huge bonfire, which blazed
for hours. Rescue work was well nigh
impossible. and the firemen and specta-
tors could do little but look on while the
helpless victims persisted.
The twelve wrecked houses were on
Rockland, near Division street Near
by. at level hundred feet below, is a
brickyard. Workmen excavating the
strata of clay in the direction of the
houses had undermined the ground on
which the houses stood, but no one sus-
pected danger. The catastrophe came
at midnight. The strata of clay and
E, earth crumbled and poured like sludge
into the brickyard, and the houses on
the edge of the cliff came iumbling
| down in ruin

a GREAT swlNnLE.
G. A. scnton In Tombs az New York.
How script Was Forged.


NEW YORK, Jan. 13 officials at po
lice headquarters and Pinkerton men
declare the plot to counterfeit the stock
Of the Norfolk and Western railroad
was one of the greatest swindles ever
attempted In this country, and every
effort Is being made to place all mem
bers Of the band of forgers under ar.
rest.
Charles Augustus Seton, the principal
figure in the case. who was arrested In
Turkeytown, Md, and brought to this
city, was arraigned before Recorder
Golf and remanded to the Tombs with.
out bail. Trial was set for Monday.
The manner Ia which the forged GER
titieates were secured and placed on the
market by Seton and the men who aid
ed him forms an astounding chapter in
the revelations of the great conspiracy.
1t goes to prove that the securities of a
railway company that earns $30000,000
a year can be printed and put into cir
culation without the officers of the com
pany being apprised of the transaction.
The Hamilton Bank Note company OF
New York printed the bogus certifi-
Gates on the strength of forged letter
purporting to be addressed to Seton
from O. Il. franklin. when no such man
as Franklin was ever connected with
the Norfolk and Western company.
This letter Is exhibited by the bank
note company in justification of its ac-
ton In printing 500 hundred-share Ger.
tificates in two books of 250 each.
The letter was written on note paper
of the Waldorf Astoria hotel. The
Hamilton officials admit they were in
fiuenceG by the fact that G. Augustus
Seton 4 Co. had very elegant suit of
offices at 40 Exchange place and that
Seton had genuine certificate, which
he had purchased for tie purpose of
carrying out the fraud. They printed
script to the value OF s4,000,000, but
how many have been put into cipcula.
ton Is not known.
