WORK OF RESCUE
Twenty Nine Bodies Taken Out
of West Fork Mine at Po-
cahontaS, w. Va.

Blueiields, w. Va, Oct 5.-Twenty-
nine bodies have been recovered from
the West Fork mine of the Pocahontas
Collleries company at Pocahontas,
Va, and a conservative estimate places
the total number of dead at seventy.
Inc rescuing party reached the scene
or the explosion, but the immense
amount of debris and wreckage has
hampered the search for bodies. There
is no evidence thus far of fire.
Loss of Life Unknown.
There is nothing authentic to be
learned from any source as to the ac-
tual number of men who persisted In
the disaster. Usually there are about
100 miners in the section affected by
the explosion, exclusive of the drivers
trappers, prop settlers and trackmen
The only way TO tell how many are
missing would be to make a complete
census of the company's employees, but
the excitement is so intense that this
cannot be done.
1t is said tonight that it will take ten
days to clear the mine of wreckage and
slate. The most fortunate feature of
the catastrophe is the. fact that the
mine did not take fire.
Company Figures.
The management tonight gives the
figures at twenty-seven dead already
recovered and twenty missing and be-
lieveG to be dead. Ten men were put
to work this morning digging graves
in the same cemetery and close to the
spot. where in 1884 over 200 miners who
had persisted in a similar explosion
we're buried.
At the improvised mOrgue Hungari-
ans, Italians and negroes thronged to
identify the dead, and as fast as this
was done the bodies were placed in
collins and removed to their homes
Enormous crowds gathered here from
all over the vast coal field.
The mine tonight is reported free
from gases and safe for the relief par
ties to work.

FIND STOLEN GEMS IN SALVAGE.
st. Louis Worlds Fair LabOrer I'm
covers Jewels

Acting under instructions cabled from
England, John 2. O'Brien. a laborer en-
ployed in the wrecking of the worlds fair
buildings at st. Louis, has unearthed an
alligator bag containing jewels valued at
$4,000, which were stolen from Mr.. and
Mrs. p. Henry Clayton of Devonshire,
England, during a visit to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition two years ago.
The jewels were stolen from trunk
and they were not missed until the Clay
tons had returned to England after a tour
around the world. They then had no
means of knowing where the jewels had
been stolen About a month ago a Hin
doc servant who had been in their en-
ploy during their trip was fatally injured
by an elephant in India and on his death
bed confessed that he stole the jewels
while in st. Louis. He said that he be-
came alarmed and, fearing detection, had
dropped them into a hole in the wall Of
the Manufacturers building. Later he
again wished to secure the gems, but on
returning to the place he had secreted
them could not reach the bottom of the
space between the plaster and the side
of the building. Fearing to make any
inquiries or ask assistance, the Hindoo
departed from st. Louis with the Clay
TONS leaving the jewels in their hiding
place.
O'Brien was generously rewarded and
was also employed by Mr.. Clayton as his
personal attendant.

Cashier of Wrecked Bank Is Held
for Investigation without Bail.
Henry w. Herring, cashier Of the Mil
waukee Avenue Stare Bank in Chi
cago, which close. its doors several
days ago, was arrested in that city the
other day. He was refused bail until
his connection with the disappearance
of nearly S1,OO0,O0O of the banks funds
is cleared up.
The delving into the ruins OF the
wrecked institution developed the most
astounding mass of financial rotten
ness ever unearthed since the State of
Illinois undertook the supervision of
the peoples saving repositories.
With Cashier Henry W. Herring as
special and none too willing guide
to the investigators new and novel de-
vices of bank looting were shown up,
together with certain evidence involv-
ing other bank officials and even out
siders in the spreading plot
Even State Bank Examiner c. c..
Jones, who has been checking up fail
ures in the State for twenty years,
gasped over the barefaced frauds which
have been perpetrated with impunity
under his nose in this institution.
The most startling of the revelations
was the finding of dozens of checks for
various amounts, which the examiners,
to their establishment, found signed,
not with names but with numbers.

Prof. james III. Breasted Tells of
New Discovery in Nile valley.
One thousand years has been added to
the authetic history of the world by
Prof. James II. Breasted Of the Uni
versity of Chicago who has just returned
from an expedition to the Upper Nile.
The professor and his associates dis
covered that the calendar was begun in
4241 B. C. and an elaborate article in the
current issue of the Biblical World tells
all about it.
In the period from 140-141 to 1914
~ ID. the calendar conceded with the
seasons and the rising of the Sosthis took
place on the first day of the calendar
year. An entire revolution was completed
at that time.
"That revolution must have begun AGO
years earlier--that is, in 1920 B. c" says
Prof. Breasted. The next earlier revolu-
ton must have begun in 27SO B. c.
that is at about the beginning of the
age at which we are first able to observe
contemporary indications of the shift.
This carries US 1,460 years back of
their coincidence in the old kingdom
that is, the calendar was introduced in the
middle of the forty-third century B. G.
(4241 B. CO.. This is the oldest fixed
date in history"

Credit is given to Secretary Hitchcock

ment issued the other day, was sought
by a band of land spectators. The esti-
mated value of the land is between ST.,
100000 and $2,0O0,OOO and its seizure
was attempted through the Warren
amendment to the statehood bill, by which
alleged mineral locations under the fed
eral mining laws on Oklahoma school
lands would be validated and the new
State would have to pick out other lands
in the place of those thus lost. The sec
rotary secured the defeat of the amend
ment in committee by showing that the
alleged mineral claims of the parties were
void and securing the adoption of leas-

FOREST FIRES RAGE.

Into Villages by Heat and Hum
ger-WOmen ga Columbus, Kan,
Capture Gsoggery.

Several large forest fires have been
burning iercely southwest of Biwabik,
MINI. Hundreds of acres of second
growth timber and thicket have been
burned over. Much damage has been
done aside from the burning of wood.
Many settlers have been forced to aban-
don their homes and have lost most Of
their property. Wild animals invaded the
limits of the villages. The menace of
the wild animals has caused more alarm
among the villagers than have the flames.
The woods are filled with bear and wolves,
as well as many kinds of timid game.
The animals have been driven desperate
by scarcity of food since the flames be-
gan to rage. Wherever the bears and
wolves have appeared in the borders of
the settlements they have exhibited the
greatest ferocity. Several pigs and calves
have been killed and carried away or half
eaten by the hungry wild beasts. The
fear among the people now is that hun
ger may drive the savage animals to max
ing attacks on men or to carrying away
children. Day and night guards have
been posted around the villages. The
patrols are heavily armed with rifles and
hope to repel any wild beast that attempts
- make depredations.

New American Bullet Has Velocity
of 2,7OO Feet a Second.

A SPECIAL from Springfield, Mass, says
Brig Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance in
the United States army, said that the
light, sharp-pointed rife bullet which ex-
perts have been testing for a month past
had shown such satisfactory qualities that
it probably would be accepted for use in
the new army rife, replacing the present
service bullet. The principal advantages
of the light bullet are its fat trajectory
and great penetrating power. On l,OOO-
yard range it win be effective against in
fantry for 600 yards, while cavalry will
be exposed for the entire distance. With
the present service bullet, infantry are
out of range for about 700 yards out of
1000 and at the 500-yard mark cavalry
men would hear the bullets whizzing over
their heads. The new bullet has muzzle
velocity of 200 feet per second, the
greatest ever attained in a service weapon.
At 800 yards it will penetrate white pine
for 81 inches, as against &c inches for the
old bullet. Another advantage in the light
bullet is that it lessons the kick of The
rifle. 1t weighs 100 grains and is fred
with J0.5 grains of smokeess powder. The
only serious drawback of the new bullet
is that it is less accurate than that of the
old one, but Gen. Crozier hopes to remedy
this by varying the powder charge or by
making slight change in its shape.

INJURED ON BURNING BALLOON.
Aeronauts Descend with Great Bag
AbIaze Above Their Heads.

AbIaze Above Their Heads.
Wilson Ellinquist, 3S years old, of
Brooklyn, and Joseph Moss, "a years old,
of Williamsburg, Y. T., professional aero
nauts, were severely injured by burns and
contusions from falling from a balloon at
Flatbush. They have been making ascen-
sions and doing parachute feats for an
amusement concern at Bergen beach.
Decking to vary the attraction, it had been
advertised that they would make an as
cension from Flatbush. and try to land
near the show grounds at Bergen beach.
They used a large hot-air balloon, and a
great crowd assembled to witness the start
in the Clouds The big bag shot into the
air with the two performers waving their
hats from the basket. When il reached an
altitude of about 200 feet there was a
muffied report, sudden lurching of the
balloon sidewise and a shout of terror
from the aeronauts. A small fame was
seen to curl out on one side of the bag.
puffs of smoke began to envelop it, and
then the bulky thing commenced to settle
rapidly. Three thousand Threats on the
ground uttered EXPLANATIONS of horror as
the balloon gained momentum in its de-
scent. The flames grew brighter. the bag
began to waver, and then it seemed to col
lapse when about fifty feet from the
ground and settle down, mass of smoke
and fire. Both men chung to the burning
basket until they were near the ground.
Moss had climbed on the outside and hung
by his hands, but Ellinquist remained in
the basket with his head bent forward,
trying TO escape the fiery draught.. When
the flaming mass of cotton and ropes
struck the ground fifty men sprang for
ward and dragged the men from their per-
ilous position. Both were unconscious.
Moss suffered severe injuries internally,
and both were critically burned.
