Chamberlain will cOncede that these

The intense Industrial spirit Of the

ful men give out prescriptions for the
attainment of wealth or other things

are obviously faulty, since they do not
succeed save In q few cases. Most men
remain poor in spite of them. The ad

Special bu united Psess ware:


MONONGAH, w. Va. Dec. 81
Double rows of brown trenches in the
little local cemetery will soon mark
the last resting place of 400 victims
OF the mine explosion Friday. 1t has
been necessary for the health au-
thorities to act to preserve the health
of the living.
Orders for the immediate burial
OF the victims have been issued. the
only exception being cases where the
bodies are fully preserved and can be
embalmed
The work of recovering, the bodies
still in the mine is being pushed as
rapidly as possible. Up to last night
forty-three bodies had been taken out
and its is certain that today-more
than hundred that are already in
sight will be removed to the surface
and buried.
The fire, which broke out afresh in
number eight shaft, was extinguished
early today.
The relief of the survivors is the
chief cause of the concern to the
authorities. Letters have been sent
to all the cities and towns through
out the state asking help.
The fire in number eight shaft
broke out afresh this morning and
was followed by apother explosion
which did little damage and no one
was hurt. Guards have been placed

under martial law though good order
prevails. The task of taking the

Cowenhoven then asked the court to
fix bail for Deutsch while the case

stated that bail might be fixed. but
not today. Recently the bail had
been fixed at $4,000. This amount

and Deutsch may be allowed to go at
liberty for time
: Shortly after the penalty had been
fixed, an angry Hungarian woman,
