RESCUERS MEET
DEADLY GASES
SEARCH FOR BODIES IN DARR
MINE DISCONTINUED.

jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 23.-Search
for the victims of last Thursdays ex-
plosion in the Darr mine of the Pitts
burg Coal company was practically
suspended this afternoon because it
could only be continued at great risk
OF sacrificing the lives Of those in
the rescue party.
Gas in ominous volume was encoun-
tered today, the deadly fire damp COM
ing from the mine. Forty-six bodies
had been brought to the surface and a
number Of others had been located
when those in charge. of the rescue
work called halt.
The rescuers had penetrated within
about one and half miles of the end
workings when they were obliged to
stop. The air had been foul all day
and the relays had to be changed ev-
cry two hours instead Of every four,
as heretofore, and finally the gas be-
came SO dense that it was decided to
concentrate all efforts upon improv-
ing the ventilation by bratticing of
more headings, increasing the cur.
rents OF air and forcing the gases
out before attempting to penetrate to
a greater depth. It is said that most
of the bodies would be reached to-
morrow, but on account OF the delay
the rescue is likely to be delayed until
Christmas day, although 1t is proba-
BILE number of bodies will be brought
out tomorrow.

GREAT LIBEL SUIT
A DISAPPOINTMENT
in THE WAY OF SENSATIONS
HARDEN ON TRIAL. 4a'

Berlin, Dec. 23.-The hearing of
the Harden-Von Moltke case was re-
sumed here today, the morning ses-
sion being behind closed doors, but in
the afternoon the court was reopened
to the public after the examination of
Frau Won Elbe, the divorced wife of
Count Won Moltke, during the course
of which she modified her former tes-
timony to a surprising degree. Many
of Harden's assertions against Won
Moltke were based upon her previous
declarations.
Frau Elbe withdrew some of her
statements derogatory to Count Won
Moltke's character and gave to other
statements she had made an entirely
different meaning. than previously inn
piled. Her physicians, being called to
the stand, testified that she suffered
from neuretis, and a medical expert,
DR.. Hirschfie1d, who at the first trial
had declared that Count Won Moltke
was abnormal, withdrew his expert
opinion which had been given after
the sworn testimony of Frau Won
Elbe on that occasion.
The court appointed one of the
judges to proceed to Munich to take
testimony from Harden's intimate
friend, Professor Schelenger.

OMAHA CAN'T CUT
ITS WATER RATE
SUPREME COURT OF UNITED
STATES BINDS cITYs HANDS.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The supreme
court Of the United States decided the
case of the Omaha Water company VS..
the City Of Omaha, arising out of the
citys effort to reduce the water rate
against the city.
The proceeding was instituted by
the company to secure an injunction
against the enforcemnt Of an ordi.
nance reducing the rate on water to
consumers below the price fixed in
1888, when the contract was first
made with the company.
The United States circuit court for
Nebraska sustained the ordinance
but its decision. was reversed by the
United States court OF appeals fol-
the eighth circuit and the city ap.
pealed the case.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
supreme courts decision, dismissing
the appeal for want of jurisdiction
and denying the petition for writ OF
certiorari.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
! ADvERTlsEs FOR MACHINES.
NO DREAMERS WANTED
War Department Is Willing to Pay
Well FOR Good Flying Machines, But
They Must Be Practical and Will Be
Very Severely Tested and Tried.

washington, Dec. 23.-Far more Sc
we're than any other nation is the
United States in it's requirements in
the matter of flying machines Of heav-
ier-than-air type, as set out in the
specifications issued today by General
Allen, chief signal officer, upon which
inventors are invited to submit bids
to be opened February /, next.
This machine must carry two per-
sons of the combined weight of 800
pounds and sufficient fuel for a flight
Of 125 miles. 1t must be designed for
a speed of at least 40 miles an hour,
but machine will be acceptable of
only S6 miles an hour, although only
60 per cent of the contract price will
be paid therefor.
There is provision for a premium
on speed in excess of 40 miles an
hour, so that a 44-mile an hour ma
chine would cost the government 100
per cent more than the contract price.
The hardest requirement to meet
and one not yet realized by any in
ventor is that 'before acceptance a
trial endurance flight will be required
of at least one hour. during which
time the flying machine must remain
constantly in the air without landing"
To protect the department against
irresponsible and visionary persons
who set up claims to the invention OF
practical flying machines, bidders will
be required to furnish aSguarantee to
the amount of IL per cent.

GREAT RECORD
DIGGING Cal VAL
ARMY ENGINEERS ARE MAKING
REMARKABLE PRoGREss.
COMP ARE WITH OTI1 Hers
At Present Rate Of Work Americans
n Would Have Dug suez Canal in
Less. Than Four Years, or Have
Built Great Pyramids in SO Days.

Washington, Dec. 23.--The excava-
tion on the line of the Panama canal
last month, aggregating 1888, ,4S6 GU
bic yards, would have covered 10
blocks to q depth Of 40 feet.
No such work has ever been done
before as Colonel Goethal has been
doing on the isthmus, according to
statistics presented in the official ca
nal record just received. For instance,
it is shown that every SO working
days the commission is moving an
amount of material equal to the pyra-
mid of Cheops, which consumed the
labor of 100000 men for 20 years in
the building and the services Of the
same number of men for 10 years in
constructing the road connecting the
work with the quarry.
The commission could build the
Suez canal at the present rate Of
progress in 3.S years, though it took
10 years for De Lesseps to complete
his work. The famous Ma anchester
ship canal could be excavated by the
American canal workers in Just two
and even Emperor Williams
Keil canal could be dug
ny lie AulSIlCtllS III just I'VE years. M
According to the report The 18TH
mus Is free from yellow fever and
there has been a steady and contin-
ued improvement of the health con
ditions. Comparing the death rate
for the year up to December /, with
that for the corresponding period in
1906, there has been so per cent de-
crease. The sick rate also showed a
marked improvement, being 2049 for
November against $500 for October,
1907.

ingalls, Asserts That He Can Cope
With Any Disorder Operators
Plead With President, But Troops
Will Be Taken Away Soon.

Goldfeld, Dec. 23.--Despite the
statement from Washington that the
federal troops will be removed from
Goldfield on December 80, the mine
owners will appeal again to the presi-
dent They say they will present
some matters which have not been
touched upon before. They claim to
be in possession of evidence that at
least one deportation was attempted
by the Western Federation of Min
ers.
While the mine owners were today
preparing to send further evidenc ce to
the president, Sheriff Ingalls, and
Captain Cox were confering on plans
for the preservation Of law and order
after the troops departed. Sheriff In
gals expects to swear in an additional
force Of SO men to assist in patroling
the camp.
Before leaving today for Reno,
Captain Cox stated that he believed
the sheriff was doing and will do all
in his power to preserve the peace.
The rumor has been current here
that the organization Of a company of
rangers is contemplated
1t has been definitely decided that
after December 80, each individual
mine owner or each company operat-
ing lease or mine shall take care of
his own property, Independent pf the
association. This will necessitate the
putting on Of many more guards.

PET T'TIBONE CASE
STILL ON TAP
STATE EXPECTED no CLOSE IT'S
CASE THIS MORNING.

Boise, Dec. 23.-OWing to the fail
ure of the states witnesses to arrive
today, only brief session Of the Pet
tibone trial was held this morning
and an adjournment was taken until
tomorrow, when the state will rest its
case and motion by the defense for
the court to advise verdict OF not
guilty will be argued.
Clarence DarroW was not in court
and his condition is such that it may
be impossible for him to make the
opening statement for the defense be
fore Thursday. E. M. Sabin, an attor-
'ney from Colorado Springs, was called
and testified that Lyte Gregory, whom
Orchard said he killed at the direction
of Haywood and Pettibone, was en-
ployed to look up evidence in the
cases of federation men who were
charged with destroying the property
Of the Moon Mining company in Col
orado.
The state called Otto Peterson, dep.
uty clerk of the court, to show that a
subpoenae for Fred Miller had been
served at Spokane. The defense OBJ.
jected and the court held that sub.
poenaes was not competent. Wilson
and Hawley engaged in a lively tilt
over the Miller affair Hawley
claimed that Miller had kept out OF
reach Of the subpoenae in both the
Pettibone and Haywood cases.
The records were called for and
showed that Miller Is still an attorney
of record in the case.
+ An adjournment was ordered until
tomorrow morning. Jg.a 5#

NEW WORKERS WANT GOVERNOR
FOR PRESIDENT.
REPUBLICAN CLUB ACTS
Enthusiastic Meeting Adopts ResoIu-
tion Endorsing Governor Hughes for
the Republican Nomination for the
Presidency.

New York, Dec. 23.-The Republican
club tonight endorsed Governor
Hughes as candidate for the repub-
lican presidential nomination, and
called on republicans throughout the
country to cooperate in securing his
nomination and election.
There were more than 300 members
Gf the club present, and all but nine
voted for the resolution, which was as
follows:
Resolved, That the Republican club
o. the city Of New York endorses
Charles Hughes as the republican can
didate for the presidency of the Unit
ed States Of America in 1908 and in
vites the cooperation Of kindred or
ganizations, and the people generally
throughout the city, state and nation
to secure his nomination and election.
The meeting was an extra one,
called to act on the endorsing of the
governor for president. The secretary
sid there never had been so large
an attendance at a club meeting. The
meeting was secret. After some de-
bate, the resolution endorsing Cover
nor Hughes was adopted with only
nine members voting against it. Toe
nine members who voted against the
resolution, it was stated, declared that
they were for Hughes but thought 1t
unwise to pass the resolution at the
present time.
Sub Resolution.
A sub-resolution offered by J. o..
Hedges commended Governor Hughes
to all Representatives for his worth,
but suggested "the wisdom Of not
sending pledged delegates until an
opportunity shall have been offered
FOR all candidates mentioned in con.
nection with the presidential nomina-
tion to express their views Of repub-
lican policies. The sub-resolution was
lost The original resolution was
then adopted with loud applause.
President Young Of the Republican
club who is the representative Of the
Republican club in the city, said he
would go slow In appointing the COM
mittee Of Is to carry out the interest
OF the resolution, as he intended that
it should be made up Of those who
would prove most influential in pro
noting the interests OF Governor
Hughes.

LOOKS GOOD
FOR POWERS
EVIDENCE NOW GOING SMOOTH
LY ALL HIS WAY.
STORY READ
Defense Introduces Story Of Former
Governor-seekst to Show that Yout-
zey Was the Chief Criminal, But
Tried to Put Blame on Powers.

Georgetown, KY, Dec. 23.-Just be-
fore adjournment tonight the deposi-
ton Of Ex-Governor Taylor from the
last trial of Caleb Powers, was again
put in evidence. Judge w. l.. Brown,
bench in the Laurel circuit court. this
afternoon testified that James B. How
ard was in London, Laurel county, on
the morning of January 80, 1900, and
that the witness had talked with How
ard. The reading of the deposition of
former Governor w. S. Taylor was
not completed when court adjourned.
In a general way, the testimony was
a denial of all the facts and circum-
stances related by witnesses for the
commonwealth. He denied any COM
plicity in the killing of Goebel.
Police Judge J. N. Hubbard Of
Grayson, KY, was recalled to identify
a letter written by him to Powers in
which was embodied the substance Of
his sensational testimony given Sat
urday relative to a plan to kill Goebel
outlined to him by YoutZey.
The letter was written by Judge
Hubbard to Powers while the latter
was in the Newport jail.
j. T.. Hopkins, the next witness,
gave equally sensational testimony,
recounting conversation he had with
Youtzey two days before Goebel was
shot, in which Youtzey said:
'I have sent to Cincinnati for cart
ridges that will fix him." meaning
Goebel, "and / will give $100 to any
man who will fire the shot. But if |
can't get anybody else to do the
work, will do it myself"
Youtzey Involved.
Albert Helton, in whose possession
was found the rifle with which Goe-
bel was shot, identified the weapon
by it's number, but was unable to say
positively who gave it to him. He
said that directly after the shooting
Of Goebel, when he went into the hall
OF the executive building, where sew
eral persons were gathered about the
door Of Calb Powers Office, from
which the shot was fred, trying to
force an entrance, some person hand
ed the gun to him during the excite
ment.
I He thought the man who gave him
the gun was a person who had been
pointed out to him as Youtzey, but
was not positive. Helton also de-
tailed conversation he heard be-
tween Youtzey and J. B. Moe, the day
that Goebel was shot, in which Yout-
zey said Dick Holmes had promised
to kill Goebel, but had gone back on
him. Youtzey said:
"If I can't get anybody else to
shoot him, will do It myself"

ROOSEVELT ALONE
CAN SAVE LAWSON
BOSTON FiNANciER BELIEVES
HIM OUR ONLY HOPE.

Boston, Dec. 2s.-Thomas w. Law
son tonight asserted that President
Roosevelt's election is necessary to
save the country from disaster and
that any other republican, or even
William J. Bryan, would be SO salts
factory to New York financial inter
ests that they would willingly finance
either or both parties through the
campaign to any extent.
Mr.. Lawson adds that Mr.. Bryan is
"clean, honest and unapproachable,"
but the money power believes it can
"discredit him at the beginning by
showing the world his helplessness in
handling this campaign situation,
Roosevelt to handle and control"

DELIGHTFUL MUSICAL COMEDY
EXTRAVAGANZA.
HAS EXCELLENT VOICES
A Clever Company and an Artistic
Thoroughly Enjoyed by
Large Billings Audience-severaI
Theater and Box Parties.

"'The Blue Moon,' which opened
the magnificent new Babcock theater
and ushered in the theatrical season
in Billings, proved to be even better
than Manager Babcock had promised.
1t would be impossible not to en-
joy "The Blue Moon," unless one had
become SO soured on the world or
tired with himself that he could en-
joy nothing. So the large number of
Billings people who attended the op-
ening of the new theater seemed to
enjoy themselves. It proved impossi-
BILE to resist the laugh-producing ele-
ments of the show. AS it advanced
the spirit Of fun seemed to become
contagious and everybody forgot the
cares of the world and for few min
utes really, truly enjoyed themselves.
And so the opening production Of the
new theater was a success-fOr such
is the mission Of the musical com
edy, to make one forget the cares and
worries, and enjoy himself.
A new theater, a clever comedy,
some catchy music, artistic dancing,
excellent voices, q. bevy Of pretty
girls, graceful as could be, new songs,
clever singers and excellent fun pro
lducers, all given an East Indian set
ting and elaborately staged and ex-
cellently costumed-that is 'The
Blue Moon as it was presented last
night. No wonder the audience en-
joyed it.
An Excellent Company.
The company presenting "The Blue
Moon" is am excellent one. Not only
are the principals good, but so is the
chorus and those in minor parts are
considerably above the standard
James T. Powers in the leading com.
edy roll proves to be an entertainer
that it is impossible to resist. One
simply has to laugh whether they
want to or not. The specialties pre-.
sented by him and Miss Clara Palmer
are one of the most entertaining fea
lures Of the production. Her singing
of "To Make a Home for Mother =
was decidedly clever. Put Me Among
the Girls sung, by Frank Earring
ton; "Moon Dear" by Miss JACQUES
and Don't You Think 1t Time to
Marry?" sung by Mr.. Earle and Miss
Leigh, are worthy Of especial men
ton. The scenic effects and costum'
ing are exceedingly appropriate and
elaborate. The reproduction Of NOV
ing clouds, during one of the "Moon
songs" is truly realistic, the moon ap
pearing and disappearing as the
clouds move by.
The opening night proved to be q
social event in Billings society. There
we're a number Of theater and, boz
parties. Bert Albin entertained sew
eral friends and the members Of the
football squad OF the local high
school at the play.
