LOST By ROCKEFELLER.
Judgment Against Brother OF John
D. for $4,000.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SCRANTON, Pa, December lin the
United States circuit court of appeals here
today Judge Archibald rendered an opinion
deciding a suit brought on a $4,000 note
against Frank Rockefeller, brother of
John D. Rockefeller, the Standard OIL king.
Frank Rockefeller was the plaintin and
the defendant was Pley Wedge. who was
employed by the Standard Oil Company at
Bayonne, N. j., at $1,000 a year.
Frank Rockefeller, it is alleged, became
interested in zinc mines in Joplin and Of
fered Wedge $4,000 a year to manage
them The mines, it is understood, were
unsuccessful and a cattle venture of Rock
efeller's in Kansas City became involved.
Wedge claims he undertook to raise $4,000
by seeing William and John d. Rockefeller,
though Frank thought his quest would be
useless. Wedge, however, raised the money
and Frank, Wedge claimed, told him that
he would not collect note for $4,000 that
he held against him. This conversation is
said to have taken place on a street car.
Months later Rockefeller brought suit on
the note His contention was that the
street car pledge was invalid, even If true,
as no consideration had been shown. But
he said it had never been made.
The court below found for Wedge. holding
that the extraordinary service rendered by
Wedge to Rockefeller was fair defense on
the note. This the court Of appeals sus-
tainS.

STILL BURIED ALIVE
ENTOMBED MINERS SIGNAL IN

LOS ANGELES, Cal, December 1.-THE
six miners who were eTltombed at the Edi-
son Electric Company's works in the Kern
river canyon Friday morning by the cave
in of the shaft in which they were work
ing, were alive at IL o'clock Monday morn
ing. An old miner, C. E. Moore, came
from the works late last night, and states
positively that at IL O'Clock in the morning
the signals of the min IS code, transferred
over the steel rails of the tramway lead
ing down the shaft, were exchanged be-
tween the helpless miners and a party of
rescuers working from the top of the
shaft.
saving the lives sof the, IIortunates, II
they are not dead alreadyTiS looked upon
as next to impossible. Thrte rescue parties
have been at work since Friday and little
or no progress has been made. One party
working through the shaft fEom the bot
tom passed through one eaved-in bulwark,
but were unable to pass the second, beyond
which the miners are imprisoned.
Blasting this bulwark and allowing the
men and rock to pass down the shaft and
pipe together to the power house below Is
the only means of rescue. Moore states
that despite the pieadings of the miners
and workmen the Edison company will not
issue orders to blast. Moore believes that
the entombed men have broken one Of the
water pipes running down the shaft and
are keeping alive by drinking water.

TERMINAL IN FLAMES.
Temporary Structure Of New York
Ferry Destroyed.

NEW YORK. December 1.-THE tenn
porary terminal structure OF the new Staten
Island ferry at the Battery was destroyed
by fire today. A new steel bridge and sup
porting structure for the permanent ter
minal buildings was seriously threatened,
but the flames were kept away from it
and 1t was saved. Had the iron framework
been ruined the loss would have been in
creased by $40 600 and the completion of the
terminal would have been delayed at least
six months. The buildings burned were
valued at about $4,000.
Traffic from Staten Island was delayed
about three-quarters of an hour as result
of the fire.
