males are hard to obtain, says an Illi-

which are especially good mixers.
The Belts are hardy and stand cold
winters we'll. They breed large and
make fine steers. The first four half
blood steers I raised from my COW sold
before three years old, weighing over
LOGO pounds each. In my opinion,
there is more profit in them as mixers
because Of their hardness and ability
to make much from the feed

800 men were working The miners
went through cut to the No. shaft
All but three escaped.
Michael Siminovich, Samuel Boso-
vich and another whose name has not
been learned, did not appear. They
probably perished either through fire
or poisonous gases which generated
all through the mine.
The fire began in the heavy timber
ing of the level The timbering was
dry and soon after the fire started the
level was a mass of flames. Efforts
to ascertain the seriousness have up
to the present time been unsuccessful.
Should the fire still rage tomorrow
morning the shafts will be sealed and
the fire will be allowed to burn itself
out.
The bodies oil the dead nave not been
recovered and probably will not until
the entire fire is burned out and the
mine freed of smoke.
The miners were at lunch when the
fire started.
Panic stricken men rushed to the
cages in the No. 1 and shafts and
scores ran through connecting open
ings to the No. shaft, one mile dis
tant
With full heads of steam the NAM
moth engines on the surface were
started at a terrific rate, hosting load
after load of human freight to sun
light and safety.
The cages shot UP and down the
shafts until the entire mine even to
its deepest workings, 5000 feet be-
meath the earth's crust, was emptied
of men.

Attorney General HadIey
of Missouri Learns Of
the Center of the "Sys-
tenn" at No. &c Broad
way.
Rogers of the Standard
Trust Must Appear
Today Before the New
York State Supreme
Court.

New York, Jan. 11.--Attorney Cen
eral Herbert s. Hadley, of Missouri
has received what purports to be ian
inside tip from Wall Street clerk"
that the central point of the Standard
Oil monopoly is the confidential de-
partment at No. rs Broadway.
The Missouri attorney general has
been attempting to find out the center
of the System" which receives the re-
ports of the various subsidiary COM
panies, ever since the investigation be-
fore Commissioner Sanborn was start
ed
The anonymous letter received by
Mr.. Hadley carrying the information
reads as follows:
THE nucleus of the Standard Oil
company of the world is the confiden-
tial department, Room No. l. No. 26
Broadway, OF which W. Il. Bemis is
the manager. Bemis' old secretary and
confidential clerk, John J. CorlShlll
knew all the secrets OF the supposed
separation of the different state COM
panies but reports of competitive
shipments and deliveries by wagons
daily was received from Waters
Pierce Oil company. Corkhill had
some disagreement with the company
himself. He was made clerk in the
police department, but | believe went
out with the new administration. He
lives in Brooklyn, below Fort Hamll-
ton. He could tell you enough to fix
the big fellows if you can get him.
You desire every honest mans aid
and were l not afraid of my position
would come out and help you"
Although the policy of delay adopt
ed by the Standard Oil company law
yers annoyed Mr.. Hadley, it has been
fortunate, for he now believes he is
profiting immensely as the result of
the dilatory tactics.
Today Mr.. Hadley received letter
from Francis ID. Carley, formerly a
member of the Chess-Carley company
Of Louisville, KY, who sold out his
interest to the Standard Oil company,
and Mr.. Carley will be a witness be-
fore the inquiry ends. Mr.. Carley
said in a conference with Mr.. Hadley
today, that while he was with the
Chess-Carley company that concern
operated the NJ. X. & T. oil tank line
over the Missouri. Kansas C Texas
railway. This tank line was after
wards merged into the Waters-Pierce
Oil company, and in payment for its
interest In the tank line the Chess
Carley company took stock In the Wa
ters-Pierce Oil company. Mr.. Carley's
testimony Is expected to show the di-
rect connection between the Waters
Pierce company and the Standard Oil
company, which is one OF the import
ant things Mr.. Hadley Is after.
BY agreement of counsel the hearing
will be continued at 2 o'clock tomor-
row. Henry III. Rogers must make
appearance before Justice Gildersleeve
of the New York state supreme court
at 10 o'clock to show cause why he
should not be compelled to answer At
torney General Hadley's questions in
the Missouri inquiry.

Believed by Bankers Who
Are Investigating That
He Sold Forged NUM-
cipal Bonds to Extent
Of 100000.
Disposed of in Northern
Ohio, Michigan and in
/ the East--Thought to
Have Had Accom-
plices.

Cleveland, Jan. 1.-THE cause OF
the suicide of Leland w. Prior, the
Cleveland stock broker, is known.
Prior is believed by the bankers who
are probing his affairs to have sold
forged municipal bonds In various
parts of the country to the extent OF at
least 100000
In addition he was heavily involved
with customers for whom he was sup
posed to be carrying New York Stock
Exchange accounts.
Who engraved those bonds, and who
assisted Prior In disposing of them,
has not been revealed; but the bank
ers' committee, which has charge of
all the affairs of the suspended firm,
has put detectives at work, and ar
rests may be expected.
That there must have been several
confederates employed in the manu-
faCture of bogus certificates seemed
clear Thursday.
The bankers committee which is
now In charge of Denlson, Prior &
Co.'s affairs, will make a report as
soon as 1t is able, concerning the forg-
ed securities. The bonds were sold In
small lots-some in Cleveland, others
in Northern Ohio, and others in Mich
igan. Still others were distributed, 1t
is believed, through bond houses Ia the
east.
This much has been discovered. The
bonds were not sold In large quanti-
ties to any one investor, and the indi-
vidual losses will not be heavy. In
all cases, 1t is stated. the loss will fall
upon individuals well able to suffer
the loss.
