ing for Help.

Lens, France, March 30.--Fourteen
OF the 1900 miners who were entOmbed
in the coal mines at Courieres, twenty
days ago were taken from the mine
alive and well today. They had lived
on hay found in one of the under.
ground stables and morsels of food
they took into the mines nearly three
weeks ago. All attempts to rescue the
entombed men had been abandoned
more than two weeks ago.
The sudden appearance of the i'm.
prisoned men caused stupefication. A
gang Of salvagers had just completed
their nights work when they were
startled to see group of miners, ter.
ribly haggard and exhausted and with
eyes sunken appear from a remote
part of pit number 2. The strongest
Of the party said they had broken out
Of a distant gallery where they were
entombed since March 10. The men
were taken to a hospital. They were
able to talk feebly and asked for their
friends. A large crowd Immediately
besieged the mines hoping to hear OF
further escapes. 1t is said that others
of the entombed miners are alive and
about to be brought out, their signals
having been heard. One Of the res.
cued miners today, Nemy by name,
said for the first eight days the party
ate bark off the timbers of the mine
Later they found the decomposed body
Of horse which they cut up and ate
With hay. Nemy, who was the most lu-
cid of the escaped, graphically de-
scribes his Imprisonment as follows:
Bark and Earth for Eight Days.
After the explosion, groped my
way about, stumbling over bodies and
seeking refuge from the gases. l found
some comrades sheltered in a remote
niche. We ate earth and bark for
eight days We continued to grope
among the bodies seeking an outlet
but were forced back time and again.
We found some hay which we ate and
two days later found a dead horse
which we cut up and ate with hay and
bark. We suffered most from want of
water. Finally we became desperate,
separated into three parties and com.
municated with each other by shouts.
Last night we felt draft of fresh air
which finally guided us to an opening"

 The miners want a restoration of the scale of 1903. which is an advance of ! i-2 sper cent over the present scale; an 'eight-hour day. and an in- crease in the allotment for yardaSe proportionate to the increase sought in the wage scale.

The operators demand the equalization of conditions through : out the district and the adjustment of minor so-cal1ed "irregularities' m certain mines and localities. The in- crease will bear upon the screen coat run and the pick run of mine coal in an equal manner. Under the 1903 scale. the payment for pick run of mine coal Is 33 1-2 cents.

New York. Aug. s.--The Herald to- day says:
 New evidence providing plausible motive for the killing of Stanford q White has lately come into District Attorney Jerome's possession.
 The inkling of the facts was con- veyed to the District Attorney inc directly from Florence ziegfeld. a theatrical manager, who is the husband of Anna Held, and who is at present living in Paris. The story is that Mir. White sent note and basket of flowers to Mrs. Evelyn Nesbft Thaw the afternoon of the shooting, and that the tragedy grew out of the thoughtless mischief of three chorus girls.
 MT. Ziegfeld met one of his New York theatrical friends in a railroai station in Paris a little while, and the conversation drifted to the Thaw trag edy. MT ziegfeld expressed surprise that the authorities had not yet got hold of evidence which would go a long way toward clearing up the fnys- tery heretofore cioaking the motive of Thaw.

 "She told me that she accompanied two other members of my old company to pay a farewell visit to MT. White in the tower of Madison Square Garden the night prior to Mir. Whites death. They were to sail in few days. Mfr White was not there, and as they were leaving the place an attendant asked what names he should report to Mir. White of those of his visitors.

 They departed and pictured to themselves dozen funny denouements which might arise out of Mrs. Thaw's vicarious call. Next day Mir. White, according to this girl, sent a neat lit- tie note to Mrs. Thaw expressing his regret at his absence at the time of her call and despatching a basket of roses to her address. My informant believed that Thaw saw the roses. read the card attached, and perhaps read the note which accompanied them'

 New York, Aug. 9.--Charles W. Mur- phy, President of the Chicago baseball team of the National League. today wrote to the President of the League, Harry c. Pulliaui, commenting him for the stand he took with regard to the forfeited game at the Polo Grounds Tuesday. President Murphy said In part:
 "The excluding of Umpire Johnstone from the Polo Grounds by the New York Club was unfortunate and the officials of that organization have since stated publicly that they regret the action. According to the constitution of the National League the New York club could be fined not to exceed S1,- 900 for the ill-advised action taken Tuesday when one of the basic princi- ples of organised professional base ball was violated.
 ''The Chicago Club will not ask that this fine be assessed by the board of directors of the National League. Manager Frank L.
