Life Saving at Fires.

If lives are in danger at fire 1t Is
a universal rule that life saving takes
precedence over fire fighting. If fire
escapes are lacking or seriously OBJ
structed all hands devote their entire
energies to the work of rescuing by
raising ladders, by forcing a passage
through smoke filled Railways or by
other emergency means. Life nets are
spread and held ready for those who
have not the nerve to wait for their
rescuers. Life saving consumes valu-
able time which could be applied to adj
vantage in fighting the flames, and the
probable necessity for expanding this
time, governed as it is by many con-
siderations, plays an important part in
studies Of underwriters. Occasionally
pompier ladders or window scaling lad
ders are used in emergencies for max
ing rescues. These furnish thrilling
incidents for the newspapers, but are
less efficient, slower and great deal
more dangerous both to the firemen
and the rescued than the plain or ex-
tension ladders.-Insurance Engineer

Church alliance and the city will be

sentative Of the corporation attorneys

Many arrests have been made for
alleged violation of the Sunday the

complaints made by the New York
Sabbath committee, but in the major

imposed upon some employee of the
theater.
George A. Blumenthal, manager of
the West End theater, has been held
In 500 bail to for trial on a charge
of permitting entertainments in his
theater in violation of the Sunday
law. The specific complaint against
him is that he permitted dancing on
the stage on Sunday.

OIL TRUST is DISSOLVED.
Standards Reply to Suit Of Federal
Government:

New York, Dec 24.--When the gov.
ernment's case against the Standard
Oil company is called at st. Louis
next month it's attorneys will claim
that the trust has practically been dis
solved in so far as it conflicts with
the federal laws. Against this the
government attorneys will contend
that the trust is not yet dissolved.
The bill filed against the New Jer-
sey company by the federal govern
ment alleges that the concern holds
stock of seventy-two distinct corpora
tions, which practically control the oil
business Of the country. This, it is
contended, is in restraint of trade and
therefore falls under the laws by
which the Northern Securities merger
was dissolved. But when the govern
ment is confronted by the declaration
that most of the stock of these COM
panies is now held by private individ-
uals the case will assume a remark.
able aspect. -=......... HI.
It is due to the tremendous efforts
of Attorney General Hadley Of Mis-
souri, that this new phase of Standard
Oil ingenuity has come out. He caused
sworn statements of high officials Of
the Standard to show that all the stock
of the big selling companies is now
held by individuals. Years ago 1t was
admitted by Standard Oil men that
one of these concerns was owned by
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey - r> - 81 ..'E s.

BY DROPPING OF CAGE
SIX MINERS MEET DEATH IN &C
clDENT AT COLLIERY NEAR
CARLYLE, ILL.
BODY OF ONE VICTIM RECOVERED
OTHERS ARE BURIED IN DEEP
STUMP HOLE AT BOTTOM i.
OF THE SHAFT.

st. Louis, Dec. 24.-One miner is
known to have been killed, five others
are believed to be dead and another
was seriously injured by the dropping
of the cage in the shaft of the Breese-
Trenton Coal Mining company about
ten miles west of Carlyle, Ill. Carlyle
Is forty-eight miles east Of st. Louis.
The accident occurred as the second
cage full of day shift miners was
descending into the mine. The cage
containing six men had descended 300
feet down the 400-foot shaft when 1t
stuck momentarily and then went
crashing to the bottom with a noise
similar to an explosion.
William Fritz, the injured miner,
was at the bottom of the shaft work
ing almost under the descending cage
when he heard the shout Of the miners
above him as the cage stuck. AS he
looked up the cage dropped and he
barely had time to spring to the side
when the crash came and debris was
piled about him. His leg was broken
and he was badly bruised. At the
bottom of the shaft Is another hole
called a stump and portion Of the
debris plunged on down the stump,
carrying five of the miners with it.
The sixth, August Foppey, jumped as
the crash came and was cut squarely
in two. Up to noon his was the only
body recovered by hundred or more
rescuers. The debris was so tightly
wedged into the mouth of the sump
that it will likely be some hours be-
fore it can be removed. No sounds or
cries have been heard coming from
under the debris and 1t Is believed
that the five miners were instantly
killed and probably badly crushed.
The sump or sumphole in mine is
a drainhole into which the water that
collects in the levels is drained It
was stated that the stump in this mine
contained fifteen feet of water and no
doubt Is entertained but that the five
miners were drowned if they had
miraculously escaped death in the
crash before being plunged on down
into the stump.

These secret clans hesitate not to
assassinate United States government

supported by the white people and
have very recently seized and lynched
a prisoner who was in the custody Of
the supreme court of the United
States and while the lynchers were in
Washington answering the charge of
contempt before the supreme court of
the United States the nation was
shocked by the fact that the president
received and honored the lynchers at
the White House. AS matter of fact
no people has shielded more Grim
inals and covered UP more crimes
than the white people of the South.
And In the South the blood Of more
innocent men and women, slain by
brutal red handed white clans, cries
from the ground unto the vengeance
of God than in all the other parts of
the country taken together" =
