DEAD PILED IN HEAPS
NO HOPE THAT ANY OF STUART
MINERS ARE ALIVE. p

CHARLESTON, w. Va, February l.
Twenty-four bodies, all mutilated beyond
recognition have been removed from the
Stuart mine at Oak HILL and it is ex-
pected that by this afternoon the officials
will have the new cage in running shape
and Ii will be possible to get out at least
a good portion of the other fifty bodies
which are certain of being in the mine.
There is not now, since the mine has been
penetrated to about sixty feet, the least
hope that any of the men In the mine at
the time of the explosion are alive. About
thirty bodies is the estimate Of the number
at the bottom Of the shaft. and all of these
are being removed today. Men engaged
In work in other parts of the mine are
hemmed in by the heavy fall of coal and
debris. and 1t will be at least three or four
days before all of the bodies will be got
ten out. and this depends entirely on the
condition of the mine.
The officials still believe the total number
of dead in the mine will be between sew
enty-five and eighty. Nine OF the bodies
were recovered yesterday afternoon. Two
OF them were brought up in a bucket by
Edward Pinckney and John Absolem. Sell
dom in the history Of such occurrences has
a more perilous trip been made than that
attempted by Pinckney and AbSolem. The
timbers in the shaft had been loosened by
the explosion and blocked the way. Great
icicles had been formed and dropped upon
the men continually, while hidden springs
deluged them with icy water. The shaft
was full of deadly fumes. and Plnckney
finally succumbed after working for a time
at the bottom.
The men remained in the shaft for three
hours and found II Yeritabe charnel
that the rescuers found II impossible to
move about without stepping on them.

CHICAGO'S EPIDEMIC
SOME OF THE SCHOOLS ARE NOW
CLOSED.

CHICAGO. February 1.-The health COM
mittee of the city council took the scarlet
fever and diphtheria epidemic in hand yes
terday and the first definite move 1t made
was to authorize the employment of go
additional medical inspectors for ninety
days or during the present wave of sick
ness. They. with the inspectors already
employed, will be able to guard all the pub
lie schools constantly.
The second step was to appoint commit
tee to draft a report asking the council to
make an appropriation at once for con-
tagious disease ho-pital.
There is wanted at once for this purpose
$4,000. The committee exonerated the city
health department from charges of inet-
ficiency and neglect of duty.
DR.. J. A. Egan, secretary Of the state
board of health, arrived in the city yester-
day and conferred with Health Commission
er Whalen. He is Investigating conditions
over northern Illinois. He considers the
conditions grave and will continue his in
Quiry today.
The Oak Park board of health at meet
ing last night decided to close the village
schools until the epidemic is stamped out.

schools
Segregation Of Pupils.
nothing OF the kind has been thought or,
but a practical segregation satisfactory to
both white and Asiatics has been arrived at
along the following lines:
THE white children all understand Eng
lish. and their prime object in going to
school Is to secure a general education. On
the other hand, the natives and Asiatics
are to great extent ignorant Of English,
and their primary object In attending
school is to learn English
ut would be manifestly unfair to the
English-speaking children to be mixed with
children who must command large share
of the attention of the teacher In teaching
them English: whereas on the other hand
1t would be unfair to the non-English-
speaking children to have the instruction
carried on in language which they did
not understand. In certain schools. there
fore. an English-speaking qualification is
required of those who wish to enter, regard
less of their nationality. Those Asiatics
and natives who can pass this examination
are admitted. Those who cannot are re-
fused and attend the other schools. This
produces a natural segregation of most of
the white children IN certain schools and
OF the Asiatics in others without any fric-
ton or dissatisfaction to any one"

such sentence as would deter others from

Mrs. Burton Harrison since
the days of the publication of
the great international novel
"The Anglomaniacs" has been
a name to conjure with.
Throughout the month of Feb
ruary The Star, in its Satur-
day and Sunday editions, will
publish the latest and best of
her novels, in which two great
American fortunes-each ag-
gregating nearly fifty million
dollars-one cleaned in Wall
street and the other in coal
mines-clash in a manner sug-
gestive of the head-on collision
Of two mighty locomotives.
One of these fortunes is that
of the famous banker, Car
stairs. The other is welded
by Herbert Winstanly of Ala
bama. The most interesting
feature of the strange duel is
that its chief participants are
two beautiful women-Miss
Helen Carstairs and Miss
Pamela Winstanly. This abb
sorbing story, with all its con-
trasts of north and south, Eng
land and America, will begin
tomorrow.
