SCARLET FEVER BREAKS OUT AT
 MONONGAH.
Every PrecautiOn to Prevent Spread of Disease is Being Taken. Search for Bodies Has
 Been Suspended.

Fairnont, W. Va, Dec. l7.-Scarlet fever has broken out at Monongah. the scene of the great mine disaster on December 6. Every precaution to pre- vent a spread of the disease IS being taken.
 The search for bodies has been com pletely suspended, and 1t is doubtful whether the exact number of men who met death in the mines will ever be known. State Mine Inspector Paul of West Virginia. found Mine No. to be in too bad shape to permit fur ther search for bodies. In the mine rooms, falls of earth for 200 feet have been encountered, and in all likeli- hood this debris will never he removed as the rooms are practically exhausted of coal There seems no doubt that miners are still buried under the falls. The total number of bodies recovered to date Is 336.

 Mayor Dahlman says the President gave him a message for the people of the West and that he felt at full lib- erty to repeat it to the press. He says:
 He (the PresidenD knew what he meant and I knew what he meant. There was nothing ambiguous about it. There were several other witnesses there and they heard what he said. There was no secret about it.
 "I have given it out only as 1t oc- cured. I am fully in accord with the Presidents position. as he indicated 1t to me. He did not say that he was glad we had a panic, regardless of anything else. What he did say was that if it had to come, he believed that the sooner 1t was over the better. do not believe that President Roosevelt and myself will disagree In the slight est particular as to what he meant or what I understood him to mean. He was certainly specific and believe that I understand the English language"
