Chicago, May 1.-The traffic and
operating departments of the Harri-
man and Hill lines have united in a
strenuous effort to prevent a recur-
renee of the coal famine next winter
in the west and northwest. Orders
have been issued by the highest Off
cials Of the various roads and have
the sanction of E. H. Hartman and
James ]. Hill, requiring all of the
officials to make every effort to induce
coal dealers to lay in their winters

cials of the railroads dread another
such coal famine as occurred last
winter, when they were blamed for
the suffering and edestitution which
reigned in the west and northwest
many weeks.
Accordingly, personal canvass is
being made in all cities and coal deal
ers are being urged personally to CO.
operate with the railroads in placing
the western country beyond the pos
sibility of another coal famine. 1t is
the purpose of the railroads to either
get the west and northwest adequately

where they say it rightfully belongs,

a:t''" ~,
Distinguished Statesman is Off
Pay Roll After Long Pub
lie Service.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington. May 1.-The name of
John c. Spooner was today detached
from the pay roll of the senate, mark
ing the close Of the official career Of
the Wisconsin statesman. For six
teen years he has served his state in
the upper house of the national legis-
lature and the announcement of his
resignation on March last created
sensation throughout the country.
In declaring his intention of retiring
from public life, Senator Spooner gave
as the reason the statement that he
was too poor to remain in the senate
Those in a position to know declare
that this is the truth and that the
Wisconsin man was probably the
poorest, from financial standpoint,
in the senate. despite the fact that he
had often been denominated a Cor
poration lawyer" His friends declare
that while in the senate Mr.. Spooner
has never taken a case and has lived
on his salary as senator and the
money accumulated prior to entering
public life.
Spooner first became member of
the United States senate in 1885. In
1891 he was succeeded by John L.
Mitchell, democrat, but was re-
elected in 1897 and has served con-
tinuously since. During the six years
of his temporary retirement Mr..
Spooner never entered the senate
chamber. and he now declares that
he will never again put his feet upon
its floors.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Johnstown, Pa, May Taken from
the dark recesses of the coal mine
where they had been imprisoned for
over one hundred hours and snatched
from the jaws Of death, the seven men
taken from the Berwind-White mine
No. 50 at Foustwell, are lying in Win
ber hospital, physically exhausted and
oblivtous to all around them. The men
were reached by rescuers about 10
O'Clock last night, but were not
brought out until an early hour to-
day. The physicians feared sud
den reaction from the nervous strain
might have serious effects.
Immediately upon being brought
out all the men wanted to go to their
homes and were taken to the hospital
under protest. No food was given
them at first but a shmulant in the
form of brandy and water was ad-
ministered to all. Soon after arriv-
ing at the hospital, the men fell into
sound sleep. The men were not
disturbed except at regular intervals
when nurses administered broth. Hos
pital physicians said the men would
be able to be about in few days.

TO HONOR THE
INVENTOR Of
THE STEAMBOAT
International Maratime Expo.
sition Began Today at Bor-
deaux, France.
Tamea.

A:.octated Press Cable to The Evenina
Times.
Bordeaux, May 1.-The internation-
al maritime exposition, commemorate
ing the centennial of Fulton's solving
the problems of steam navigation,
opened here today with impressive
ceremonies, in which the official rep
resentatives of many nations, includ-
ing the United States, took part. The
great show, which was organized by
the French Naval league under the
patronage of the French government,
Will remain open until November and
is expected to attract many thousands
of tourists from the United States and
england, as we'll as the continent. The
American representatives at the expo
sition include M. Murphy, United
States consul at Bordeaux; Henry Wig
maud, secretary of the American en-
bassy in Paris, and James Gordon
Bennett.
Most of the buildings of the exposi-
ton have been completed and present
an impressive appearance. The main
group, facing the Garonne, on the
square of the Quinconces, presents one
of the most beautiful architectural
studies in the history of expositions
and is a glowing tribute to the ability
OF NJ. TOuraine, architect-in-chief of
the exposition. The main entrance to
the grounds is surmounted by a mag
nificent reproduction of the famous
Victory of Samothrace, the original
being in the Louvre museum. The
scope of the exhibition is divided into
seventeen groups, sub-divided into
ninety-twO classes and comprising ev-
erything imaginable appertaining to
navigation. There is also fine arts
section under the patronage of famous
French artists.
One of the most interesting features
of the exposition is an exact model ,of
the steamboat built by Fulton in whicn
he made the memorable trip on the
Hudson between New York and AL
bany on April 16, 1907. Models are
also shown of the two submarine boats
built in France by Fulton, under the
direct encouragement of Napoleon, in
1901. In one of these, the Nautilus,
Fulton descended to a depth of twenty
five feet, remaining under the water
for hours.
The inventions and achievements of
Fulton are the greatest features of the
exposition, and this will render it in
teresting to American visitors, The
value of the work he accomplished for
humanity will be illustrated more
fOrcibly than ever attempted In the
United States.

W0RKMEN To DESTROY TWO HISTORIC
NEW YORK CITY THEATRE STRUCTURES

The Princess theater is being torn
down to make room for big Office
building, which will occupy the en-
tire Broadway frontage from Twenty
ninth street to Keith & Proctor's Fifth
Avenue theater. It was built in 1874
and since that time has been known
among theatrical men as "the hoo
doo," owing to the number of man
ayers who have failed. Maurice
Grau, Jack Haverly and Charles Hoyt
are among the score of famous man
ayers who have failed in attempting
to make the Princess a first class
house. Later, in 1856, Charles Froh-
man got possession Of the house, but
lasted only few months. Lew Dock
stader made another inglorious at
tempt. and Herman the Magician,
Corbett and F1tzsimmons. Sam T..
Jack and Leo C. Teller had their
turn. The Shuberts were the latest
leases and have managed to hold on
until the end. During its career the
Princess has been known under at
least . dozen names.

ANOTHER PIECE OF
POLITICAL DIRTY WORK
Special to The Evening Tine..

Special to The Evening Tlmes,
Bismarck, N. D., May 1.-The peni-
tentiary board is in session here to-
day, when it is expected the appoint
ment of Hellstrom for warden and
Gray for deputy will be made with
out opposition. Hellstrom and Gray
arrived last night and are prepared
to take the places.
That Booze Cache.
Four drayloads of booze taken last
week by Temperance Commissioner
Murray are still in storage at the
capitol building. Papers were served
on Mrs. E. G. Patterson as owner Of
the lot occupied by the cave to show
cause why the booze should not be
destroyed. The Pattersons instigated
a survey by the county surveyor and
1t is shown that the officials blundered
in serving papers on Mrs. Patterson,
as the survey shows the cave is situ-
ated on city property.
Officials Blundered.
1t will be necessary now to serve
notice on Mayor Smyth and the city
officials relative to the destruction.
The opinion here that it was mis-
take to attempt to connect the Patter-
sons with the matter, as the booze
was owned by other parties.
Bismarck, N. D., May 1.-The liquor
found in the cave at the foot of Fifth
street and seized last Wednesday
night, still remains in the vaults of
the temperance commissioners office
at the capitol, no one as yet having
filed a claim on the goods. The stuff
is popularly supposed to be the prop
erty of man who has been in the
liquor business here for the past sew
eral years, and who is at present
looking up a location in South Dakota.
On Saturday the sheriff served no.
tice on Mrs. e. G. Patterson, who was
alleged to be the owner of the lot on
which the cave Is located, to show
cause why the seized liquor should not
be destroyed in accordance with the,
law, and this morning Mr.. Paterson
called upon County and City Surveyor
SHELTON to make survey of the
premises, as he claimed the cave was
situated in Sweet street. Mr.. Skeletons
survey proved the correctness of Mr..
Patterson's contention, the cave being
at least twenty feet from the nearest
point Of Mrs. Patterson's property.
AS the cave wherein the liquor was
found is on city property, the notice
to show cause should have been
served on Mayor Smyth and the city
council, and this will probably be done
as soon as the findings of the surveyor
are presented to the proper officials.

Chicago. May Am average in
crease OF two cents per hundred
weight In the freight rates on grain
products from Chicago to the Atlantic
seaboard went into effect today. The
raise is the result of an agreement
between the railroads constituting
the western trunk lines, the Central
Traffic association and the Eastern
trunk lines. It is made necessary. ac-
cording to the officials of the roads,
because of the enactment of laws
regarded as inimical to the, railroads
by several western legislatures.
When the two-cent fare act was, pass
ed In Nebraska the railroad officials
interested met in this city and de-
cided. in addition to testing the con-
,stitutionality of the law, to raise their
rates on east-bound grain. Such a
raise is unprecedented at this time
Of the year. as the roads usually re-
duce their rates at the opening of
navigation on the lakes.

Some years ago Mr.. Fritz needed the

Mr.. Fritz has recently received at
the hands of Governor Burke an ap-
pointment to the board of trustees
OF the North Dakota state reform
school, located at Mandan. That he
will discharge the duties of his Off

possible for any democrat to do, goes
without the saying.
