WAS A REUNION OF BROTHERS
What President Roosevelt Told the De-
partment of Justice.

Mrs. Anderson, the little girl, and
Robert January were escorted into
the deputy warden's Office, and soon
William January was called in. AL
though the brothers had not met in
years, and only the newspaper notorie-
ty of the case had brought the Chilli
cothe man here to seek his brother,
they recognized each other instantly.
A fearful, happy greeting ensued,
while the wife and child stood by.
Then the wife, nervous and excited
as a result of the news from Wash
ington, approached. After they had
embraced and January had kissed both
wife and child the woman began eau
tfously to tell the prisoner of the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch.
January had previously been APP
prised of the great activity in his be-
half, but he was not prepared to hear
so quickly such important results. I'M
mediately his eyes frightened, he stood
erect, and his whole manner changed.
He saw himself again in sight Of lib
erty in the midst of his family and
surrounded by friends who held him
in respect. Again he gave way to
tears. but this time tears of JOY, and
the little group Of relatives Joined with
him, giving way freely to their intense
feeling of happiness. The prison Off
Gals considerably withdrew and a
lengthy joyous family confab ensued.
January was convicted q number Of
years ago of robbing a postoffice in
Oklahoma and served the greater part
Of a five-year sentence at Leaven-
worth. He then escaped and after
nine years Of liberty was arrested in
Kansas City and returned to prison.
Many petitions have reached the presi-
dent asking for his pardon. January
had lived in Kansas City under the
name Of Charles w. Anderson during
the time he was at liberty.
In recommending communication or
pardon the president says to the de-
partment of justice: in view of the
statements of the judges. bank presi-
| dents, and so forth, who know him. I
| think Anderson's nine years Of life as
an honest citizen, hard working and
Of good repute warrant rs in commut-
| Ing his sentence at once or in pardon.
/ Ing him outright. Which do you think
ought to be done? Are there sufficient
reasons for not doing either?" The de-
partment of justice began the immedi-
ate consideration Of the case.

dramatic scene was enacted here in
the Office of the deputy warden of the
federal penitentiary when Mrs. Chas
w. Anderson" her 5-year-old daughter
and Robert January, of ChilHcothe
Mo, a brother of the prisoner, Gang
to pay a visit to William January
alias Anderson, the escaped convict
recently recaptured in Kansas City.
The wife carried the glad tidings from
Washington of President Rooseyelts
note favoring the pardon of the pris-
oner, in response to the appeals Of 49,
600 petitioners. Robert January came
to renew a family tie that had been
broken for years.
Had Not Heard the Good News.
Mrs. Anderson, for this is the name
under which she was married to Jan
uary, with her child and Robert jan
uary, had started from Kansas City
early in the morning to cheer the
prisoner. Frail and sad eyed she had
appeared at the warden's Office on her
usual stated visit, with DO knowledge
OF the good news in store. A news
paper man met the little party and
read the Associated Press dispatch
from Washington. Instantly light and
color lit up the face of the woman, but
she was too overcome to give vent to
her feelings in words.
Warned Not To BE Too Happy.
81 cannot express my feelings OF
gratitude" she finally said, then hur-
ried to the office of Warden W. r.
McClaughry to gain permission for an
interview with January. Before per
hitting the wife and brother to visit
the prisoner Warden McClaughry
warned Mrs. Anderson not to build up
her husbands hopes too high. He told
her that the presidents order was only
preliminary step, and that while he
believed the press dispatches contain
ing it were true he had not yet been
officially notified of the action.

Seven Men Imprisoned in a Coal
Mine by a Sudden In
undation.
BEEN THERE sINCE FRIDAY NOON

O'Clock Last Night.

u STORY OF the Leader
chip That Saved the
prisoners.

Iohnstown, Pa, May AFTER be-
ing entombed since last Friday noon
in the Berwind-Whice coal mine No.
80, at Foustwen, near here, the seven
miners who were shut off from the
world by a sudden rush Of water
caused by the breaking Of a wall OF
On abandoned mine were rescued at 10
p. N. The men were greatly exhaust
ed. Owing to their weakened condi-
ton it was decided not 70 bring them
out until after the mine had been
drained. Never in the history of the
mining region has such a joyous scene
been witnessed as when the unfortu-
nate men were reached. Hundreds of
people who gathered about watching
the work Of rescue cheered, laughed
and cried.
Dash Through a Flooded Heading.
Many believed the men had persisted
during the long confinement in the
mine. The men were reached by Stlney
Rodon and Charles Ream, who made
a dash through fifty feet Of water-flled
heading. Earlier in the day John
Boyla, a brother of one Of the impris,
oned men, and three comrades made
Il futile attempt to reach the impris-
oned men. These men came back half
drowned, and reported that portions Of
the heading were still completely
filed with water, and that more pump
ing would have to be done before the
imprisoned men could be reached.
Ream Brings Back Good News.
The efforts at pumping were then
redoubled. At 10 p. IN. the water had
so far gone down that it was resolved
to make one more attempt to break
through to the overcast where it was
believed the unfortunate men were
still alive. Stiney RodOn and Charles
Ream volunteered for the service and
plunged out into the water and dark
ness. Over an hour elapsed before
either man was heard from, and then
Ream came swimming back through
the heading bringing the first news
from the imprisoned seven. The eff
fort had nearly exhausted Ream.

SENT THEM BRANDY AND WATER
BOlya, Leader of the Captives, Man of
knowledge and Action.


He reported that the seven men were
alive, and all in good shape, but that
until more pumping was done the pas
cage to the place where they had tax
en- refuge was impossible to those
who could not swim. When the news
was received that the seven were alive
it was RESOLVED to allow them to re-
main where they were until the head
ing had been pumped out. Ream and
his comrade carried to the imprisoned
men simply a flask of brandy and a
little water. He reported that Mike
Bolya had since the breaking of the
walls between the abandoned work
ings been in charge of the movements
Of his comrades.
Bolya. who was a mine contractor,
was man acquainted with every turn
of the mine in which he was impris-
oned. When the flood broke out, ac-
cording to the story he told Ream,
he led his comrades to the highest
point in the heading, where the "over-
cast was situated. Under Bolya's di-
rection each man before fleeing seized
his lunch basket. When they arrived
at the overcast" every lamp but one
was extinguished and one by one the
lamps were each burned out, until
when they were reached by Rodon and
Ream there was but q single light re-
naming. and that in danger of going
out at any time.
Bolya stated that the lamps were
burned because the darkness and noise
of the water rushing in the headings,
as it was driven back and forth by the
expansion of air cushions caused by
the food, was so terrifying that the
men feared that their reason would
leave them if left in darkness. Bolya
stated that of the dangers they faced
the darkness was the most terrible
When stock was taken of the availa-
BILE supply of provisions it was found
that three baskets We're but half emp
tied. This scanty store of rations was
husbanded until Monday morning
when the men had nothing to eat.
During the whole time they were
imprisoned they had gone without wat
er, fearing to drink the water from
the abandoned working. Ream stated
that at the place where the men had
sought refuge there had been a supply
/ Of ties left for track-laying purposes
With these Bolya and his comrades
| had built a platform upon which they
! sought refuge, and when found they
were not only high, but dry.

robed in full vestments. This is splend-
idly revealed in Lyman H. Howe's new
programme to be shown at the Grand an
Saturday afternoon and evening. After
the ceremony the hounds and riders
dispense to the place appointed Tor the
hunt. The quarry, noble stag is seen
by the side of a lake, alert, SHINING

proach of the pack, and manages for a
time to throw the hounds off scent. I'll
timately he is discovered, and an ex-
citing scene is witnessed as the stag
turns this way and that, to elude his
pursuers, stretched in long string in
his wake. Eventually the stag is over
