MAY REACH THREE HUNDRED
Number of Dead in Darr Mine at ia.
cobs Creek, Pa.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 23.-In the
short distance rescuers were able to
penetrate the Darr mine, the scene of
Thursdays awful explosion, half
dozen bodies were found and brought
to the surface, making the total num-
ber that have reached the morgue
twelve.
While a vast amount of work has
been done not much progress has been
made towards the entries in which the
great mass of bodies are entombed.
The danger of another explosion is
imminent and the rescuing forces dare
not venture far ahead of the forces
erecting the temporary brattices Vast
quantities of gas have been encoun-
tered and the volume seems to be
steadily increasing. Company officials
have ordered that exploring parties
shall advance only as fast as the pas
sageways can be cleared of gas, ven
tilated and otherwise made safe.
While what appears to be the most
reliable estimates on the number of
victims are near 200 there are many
who insist that the final list of dead
will contain many more names. Mich.
ael Hallaphy, national organizer for
the United Mine Workers of America,
who has assumed charge here for the
organization, says:
Il have made a house to house can
vass among the families here and am
certain that there are 800 dead men
in the Darr NINE"
Evidence of much suffering and dis.
tress among those dependent upon
the victims has already been disclosed
and steps have been taken to organize
relief committees.
James e. Roderick, chief of the
state department of mining, has Or
dered the nine mine inspectors of the
state to meet him here to assist In
rescue work and to investigate the
cause of the explosion.

SAYS COMBINE EXISTS
MEMBERS OF ASSOCIATION
True Bills Returned Charge Conspir.
acy to Do an Illegal Act Injurious
to Public Trade-Evidence Against
Them Said to Be Conclusive.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The December
grand jury has returned indictments
against fifteen members of the Illinois
Milk Dealers association for con-
spiracy to do an Illegal act injurious
to public trade.
The indictments are the result of
the investigation recently commenced
by States Attorney Healy into the
causes for the recent advance in the
price of milk Among those indicted
are William J. Rogers, president of
the Borden Condensed Milk company;
the Borden Condensed Milk company;
Charles A. knight, Chicago manager
of the Borden company; Joseph FL.
Marsh, Chicago superintendent of the
Borden company; J. r. Bowman, pres.
ident of the Bowman Dairy company;
the Bowman Dairy company; c. E.
Peck, an officer of the Bowman com.
pany; George e. Chappell of the Kee
& Chappell Dairy company; the Kee
& Chappell Dairy company; the Ira
J. Mix Dairy company; Ira J. Mix
William b. WanZer, Howard II. Wan
ger, Edward F. Newton and Thomas
F. Yore, all members of the local dairy
companies. In its report the grand
Jury said:
"In our opinion the testimony sub
mitted conclusively proved the exist
ence of a combination for the purpose
Of advancing the price of milk"
All of the men and corporations in
dicted are members of the Illinois
Milk Dealers association and all were
said by witnesses before the grand
Jury to have been present at a meet
ing of the association in this city i'm
mediately preceding the recent ad.
vance in the price of milk The mem
bers of the association, however, as
sert that prices were not discussed
and that no action regarding prices
was taken at that meeting.
The Borden Condensed Milk COM
pany, one Of the firms against which
indictments were returned, is a New
York corporation and is capitalized at
$25,000,000. 1t has two representa-
tives in the membership of the local
association.
All of the men indicted waived inn
munity before they testified and ap-
peared as voluntary witnesses.

believed by the supporters of the
movement that the obtaining of the
mail subsidy will re-establish the
precedent and general principle IN.
volved, which, eventually, will result
in the government giving general sup.
port to marine interests upon the
high seas.
Truman Fl. Newberry, assistant sec
retary of the navy, was one of the
speakers. An important foreign war,
the assistant secretary said, would
find the United States with a strong
navy, the second navy in the world,
very gravely handicapped by the lack
of an ocean going merchant feet of
ships and further handicapped by the
lack of a trained and prepared re-
serve of officers and men. England
has at least 100 merchant colliers ag-
gregating 100000 tons Immediately
available in the event of war, while
the other foreign powers are well pro-
vided with vessels of the same class.
William S. Green of Massachusetts,
chairman of the merchant marine
committee in the house of representa-
tives. followed Mr.. Newberry. Con.
gressman Green said he was going to
exert his every effort to have his com
mittee in congress report favorably
on the subsidy bill and would do all
that could be done to have the house
act favorably.
II. Coulby, president of the Pitts
burg Steamship company, spoke on
"A Question of Business and Trans
portation." He told of the business
interests in the country that were suf-
fering from the lack of American
ships and said he was heartily in ia
vor of the subsidy.
Addresses also were made by Lewis
e. Nixon, the shipbuilder, and Others

ALL BUT ONE ESCAPE
Hundred and Fifty Miners at
Work in Flooded Colliery.
WATER UP TO MEMS CHINS
Exploding Blast Taps Large Body of
Water in Abandoned Shaft Adjon-
ing and Sudden Flight Alone Saves
Numerous Lives.

Hazleton, Pa, Dec. 23.-More than
$50 miners narrowly escaped drown
ing in the No. 4 slope of the Lehigh
Valley and Wilkesbarre Coal COM
pany at Audenreid through the unex-
pected tapping of large body of wa
ter in the abandoned No. l slope ad-
joining. The water reached to the
chins of some of the men, who got
to the surface through two separate
openings. Officials at first thought
that all of the men had been account
ed for, but later the body of Polish
miner was found in the No. slope.
1t is believed he is the man who fired
the shot that broke the barriers be-
tween the workings and the water.
Because of the confusion attending
the fight from the flooded mine the
men are not certain whether all are
out. The rush of air was so great
when the water broke through that
the lights on the lamps of most of
the men in the slope were extin-
guished. The flood rapidly subsided.
Nine men lost their lives In this mine
last July through whitedamp.

GIVEN A GREAT OVATION.
Emperor Francis Joseph Appears on
Streets of Vienna.

Vienna, Dec 23.-Emperor Francis
was despaired of, drove from the cas-
tie at Schoenbrun to the Hofburg in
Vienna and in the thronerOom of the
HOfburg received the members of the
Hungarian and Austrian delegations
and read to them the speech from the
throne.
This is the first time since his seri-
GUS illness that the emperor has left
Schoenbrun and the public seized the
opportunity to show it's delight at the
recovery of the monarch The entire
route between the two palaces was
decorated lavishly. The houses along
the way were decked with flags and
flowers and dense masses of people
thronged the streets. The windows
were crowded with ladies, who waved
their handkerchiefs as the sovereign
drove by, and throughout the half
hours drive the emperor was the re-
cipient of a remarkable ovation. He
was in an open carriage and he
showed practically no trace of his re-
cent serious illness.
At the Hofburg the emperor alighted
briskly from his carriage. Burgomas.
ter Lueger and the members of the
privy council awaited the emperor at
the entrance of the Hofburg. Herr
Lueger welcomed him and congratu-
lated him upon his recovery on behalf
of the city of Vienna.
1t had been intended to have the
emperor's route from Schoenbrun
lined with school children, but at the
last moment the emperor prohibited
this on account Of the wintry weather

OPINION OF EXPERTS.
Recent Mine Disasters Due to eli.
matte Conditions.

Pittsburg, Dec. ga number Of
experts who have made partial inves-
legations of the Naomi, Monongah
and Darr mine disasters are taking
the position that the explosions are
partly due to climatic conditions 1t
is a noticeable fact, they say, that the
recent catastrophes have occurred at
about the same hour in the day, in a
zone of certain altitude, In about the
same longitude and in places where
climatic conditions are similar.
The majority of the mines being
operated today are below the level Of
the streams in the same sections and
owing to the moisture the outside air
forced into the mines by the fans has
been laden with carbon-dioxide mois-
ture and other impurities.
1t is suggested that If the air forced
into the mines was gathered from a
higher stratum and was heated suffi-
ciently and otherwise treated to re-
move the impurities the accidents
would be less numerous during the
change of seasons
Proper ventilation with this purified
air, it is believed, will remove to a
great extent the coal dust and explo-
sive gases which are found to a GER
tain extent in every mine.
Creates Rank Of Vice Admiral.
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator War
ner of Missouri has introduced a bill
creating the rank of vice admiral in

1t will permit the promotion Of Rear
