FATAL BL4CK FOUNTAINS
Nine Superintendent Fourth Person
to Disappear Myster1ously.

Bristol, Va, June "A report from Wise
County Va, says that Superintendent ". F.
Kelly, of coal mining company. mysteriously
disappeared in the Black Mountains a week
ago. and searching parties have not succeeded in
finding him.
Kelly is the fourth person since Edward L.
Wentz the young Philadelphia millionaire, to
disappear in these mountains. None OF the
others has been heard from. Wentz was
lost about five years ago, and though reward
of s15OO00 was offered for his body, and hun
dreds of men searched the mountains for weeks,
il was six months before his body was found,
riddled with bullets. Later J. F. Gearhart,
Bristol insurance man, disappeared in the Black
Mountains and about year ago Walter Kent,
a young Pennsylvania engineer. disappeared in
much the same way. Several revenue officers
have also been lost in the mountains which

is that they were murdered and their bodies

Efforts TO force rally were useless.
Mr. and Mrs Belmont had expected to leave

SAY ALL PAY WAS CUT
DENY BRYAN STATEMENT.
Railroad Men Declare That Economy
Began at Top.

Railroad men said Yesterday that If William
J. Bryan had made the statement attributed TO
him in a dispatch from Nebraska. that, while
the wages of employees on many railroads had
been cut, reduction had been made in the
salaries of any of the officers, he was much
mistaken 1t was pointed out that several rail-
roads had ordered reductions of 10 per cent on
all official and clerical salaries. from president
down, among them being the Erie, the Southern
the Baltimore & Ohio and the Louisville &
Nashville roads, leaving the scale of wages
of the workers untouched.
Mr. Bryan also quoted as saying in the
dispatch that he did not believe railroad man
ayers had right to threaten reduction in
wages of employees to coerce them into the cir
culation of petitions to prevent the enactment of
legislation affecting railroad interests. and that
he had often thought there would be no occa-
sion for even a threat to reduce the wages of
employees if payments of dividends might be
withheld from watered stock
These allegations were denied by railroad
officials here who declared there was no foun-
dation for them
E. P. Ripley. president Of the Atchison, To-
peka Santa Fe Railway Company said:
The best and only answer TO the statement
credited to Mr.. Bryan regarding the reduction Of
wages is that the railroads will not. in my judg
ment take any concerted action to reduce wages,
d I.
directions TO increase revenues should prove
unavailing then the reduction of wages might
be considered If the question is actually taken
up and it is decided to pay less for services
rendered 1t is certain that the scaling down
would begin with the general officers receiving
the highest salaries, has been done by the
Erie and few other railroads, which put in a
lower scale of salaries and wages several months
ago.
AS to Mr. Bryan's allegation regarding the
payment OF dividends on so-called 'watered
stock. have only TO say that do not believe
he can name a single important road which is
distributing profits such stock. Mr.. Bryan's
general statements, which cannot be substan-
tiated except possibly in the case of a few small
roads, far the distribution of dividends
is concerned. are not only unjust to the rail
investors and the people at large. Mr.. Bryan
should be more specific and less general 1
would like him to name road which Is coerc-
ing its employees into the circulation of petitions
to prevent the enactment of legislation affecting
railroad interests 1 have yet to hear of such
a case.
Evidently Mr.. Bryan has not made careful
investigation of the question of reducing wages.
because, 1 have already indicated several
important roads which have reduced wages first
reduced the salaries of high paid men. This
has been matter of public record for several
months in spite of the assertion of Mr. Brvan
that he has been unable to find such an in
stance"
