TWENTY-FIVE DEAD
TAKEN FROM MINE.
Struggle with Renewed Energy Hoping
to Explore Balance of Entries
at Fayette City

PlIISBURG, Pa, Dec. 3.-Twenty five
of the miners caught by an explosion of
fire damp Sunday night in the Naomi
uine of the United Coal company, located
near Fayette City, had been reached by
the rescuers this morning. Az We're dead
and charred almost beyond recognition.
The rescuers are now nearing the end
of the workings ana they have found no
sign of lie anywhere. In the opinion OF
the owners OF the mine few ii any more
victims will be found, but among miners
and Others in the village there Is a firm
belief that the total number OF victims
is between forty and fifty.
After finding eleven bodies near the
tweuty-nintl entry shortly before mid
night, the rescucrS went to work with re-
neWed energy to explore the remaining
seven entries. There are thirty-slX entries
in all, and unit! the last of these has
been searched the full extent of the dis
aster will not be known. Because Of
the accumulation OF gas, the work OF
rescue in the remote sections of the
mine is greatly impeded.
\ second explosion is a constant men
ace and every p"cCauton Is beng taken
to avert such catastrophe.
Scores of frenZied women constantly
surround the pit mouth and the special
detail of officers have much trouble III
keeping them from interfering with the
work of the rescuerS.
The cause of the explosion has not yet
been ascertained. One theory is that it
resulted from the explosion of black
damp in an unused entry when miner
carrying an open lamp crossed the dead
line Another is that Il spark from the
trolly line over which cars are hauled
from the workings to the mouth of the
shaft ignted a pocket of gas in the mine

There must be no halt in the course re-
garding interstate commerce which the
nation has elected to pursue. There
should be either a national incorporation
act or a law licensing interstate railway
companies. The interstate commerce
commission should be given power to
pass upon the future issues of railway
securities. Ample means should be pro-
vided to enable the commission to make
physical valuation of railroads Roads
should be allowed to enter into agree
ments
There should be additional legislation
looking 10 the proper control of the X lat
business concerns engaged in inter lte
business, this control to be exercised for
their own benefit and prosperity no less
than for the protection of investors and
of the general public. Business combina-
tons are necessary and it is as idle to
desire to put an end to all corporations,
to all big combinations of capital, as
to desire to put an end to combinations
of labor. 1t is profoundly immoral to
put or keep on the statute books law,
nominally in the interest Of public mo-
Gality, that really puts premium upon
public immortality, by undertaking to for
bid honest men from doing what must
be done under modern business condi-
tons, so that the law itself provides mat
its own infractIon must be the condition
precedent upon business success.
The antitrust law should be made more
efficient and more in harmony with act
nal conditions. 1t should be so amended
as to forbid only the kind of combination
which does harm to the general pubic,
such amendment to be accompanied by,
or to be an incident Of, a grant of sup
eryisory power to the government over

INDIAN COED PLANS
TO HELP HER RACE.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. = Especial. =
Believing that the conditions of caring
for the Indians on the Oneida reservation
by the government should be improved,
and inspired with a zeal that their fu-
ture lies in education, Miss Laura NJ
Cornelius, an Indian girl, whose home is
in Seymour, is at the university as a
junior, preparing for her life's work.

In Need of Money.
"The third step which | advocate to
improve conditions is the establishment
of local banks ut each of the Indian
reservations, so that money may be
placed i'll circulation, as the Indian ma
tons need money badly. My idea is
to secure the consent of the government
to have the principal of the Indian land
fund paid over to the banks. Up to this
time only the interest on the fund has
been paid out. In this manner money
which might be used advantageously has
not been circulated.
Miss Cornelius has completed two
years of work at Barnard college, the
women's college of Columbia university
at New York. where a large portion of
her time was devoted to the study of
anthropoogy under the celebrated Dr..
Boaz. Before entering Barnard, Miss
Cornelius spent a semester at Leland
