PLANNED
TO ESCAPE
Convlcts in Mine Start a
Fire and Several
are Killed.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 17.-Ac-
cording TO managers of the mine,
forty state convicts employed in the
mines at Pratt City formed a con-
spiracy Monday night to set No. 3
mine afire and escape during the con-
fusion, and as a result eight convicts
are burned to death, one is missing
and the other forty-one are locked
IL the stockade. The eighth body
was taken out late Tuesday after
noon.
The coup was cunningly planned
and daringIy executed. A lot of
timber lying in the manway was ig-
nited and the convicts hoped that
when attention had been attracted to
the flames they could make their way
through the mine and escape by the
main entrance. They had hoped to
be able to make their way along the
mine ahead of the smoke and fumes
from the fire. In this way they mis-
calculated, for at least eight were
suffocated.
The Others appeared TO be meet
ing with success when the mine of
icials suspected something. One
overseer saw the flames burst out SO
suddenly and in such volume that he
was sure kindling had been used in
starting them. Making his way 20
the outside, he informed others and
guards were at once placed at the
shaft.
The men were caught as they came
from the main entrance.

election discount rates have ad-
vanced full one-half of one per
cent, and the supply of notes offered
has been decidedly increased. Gus
toners from now on will not be held
under any restraint when they need
money for some purposes. Adjust
ment during the panic worked out an
extremely healthful condition in gen
eral business, and the country is
starting fresh with small stocks of
manufactured products, big crops,
good prices and an abundance of
cheap money Bank clearings show
a gain for the first time now the COM
parison of current clearings with
those of 1907 gives real indication
of the progress toward recovery from
the effects of last years panic, as
hitherto the comparison has been
with weeks when prosperity was at
high tide, before the financial storm
broke. A recent week showed gain
of 29l262,179 over the correspond
ing week of 1907, or gain of almost
S5,O00.00O a day If this rate of in
crease continues It will not be long
before business will be on a perma-
nent basis of prosperity again.
The most interesting result of the
panic of 1907 now is shown in the re-
ports of corporations as to the in
crease of the number of stockhold-
ing partners, particularly in the West
and among women. Sixteen OF the
largest railroad and industrial corpo-
rations have reported 1853 500 partners
as against 255,499 before the "banlx-
ers' panic" began. Reports of the
Hill railroads show II 900 sharehold-
ers now as compared with $500 a
year ago. These figures throw light
upon the process of change that took
place during the period when the
wires from the West were burdened
with small buying orders at bargain
prices. The reports of the Steel Trust
and the Pennsylvania Railway show
that 45 per cent OF the shareholders
now are women. the increase being
80 per cent in the case of the Steel
Trust and 40 per cent in that Of the
Pennsylvania, which goes to show
what a real marked down" sale will
do with women. Before the panic the
shareholders of United States Steel
numbered $4,000; they number over
10000 now The Pennsylvania haA
10000 shareholders and the Santa Fe
Railway has reported 25,oOO.> This
tremendous change is to be attributed
very largely to the West. where in
vestments are being made in stocks
and bonds much more than in former
years and where the Missouri spirit
OF "wanting to be shown" real values
has increased in marked degree
since Western speculation was check
ed in 1901.

Later, tables were filled for pro-

series of games resulted in Mrs.

The idea of a charity bazaar was
introduced for the careful consider
alton of members, A. G.. Holland,
Mayor Louis Scherff, Judge Boston G.
Young and ]. Wilbur Jacoby giving
practical talks favoring such laud-
able undertaking. The date of the
affair would be just preceding the
holidays, in order that the homes of
the unfortunate and deserving poor,
might be gladdened by some of the
Yuletide benefcience which abounds
at that time, and for which the pro-
ceeds of the bazaar would be ex-
pended. The vacated Baptist church
on East Center street would be an
ideal spot for such an event. and
doubtless the people OF Marion would
rally nobly to the support of the pro-
ject. There will be a meeting of the
ladies of Elks Friday for the purpose
of considering such a. plan.
The Elk's famous brand of hos
pitality was under the direction Of

L
Chicago Nov. 16.AAgain the tur-
key crop is short, "alarmingly short"
as 1t is just prior to Thanksgiving
day ecah year in justification of the
prices charged. As Chicago consumes
100000 pounds of turkey. in additon
to half million pounds of other
poultry at Thanksgiving time, the
''shortage' cost this city alone a
pretty penny, in the nelghborhood
of $l25.000. Turkey prices scared like
the wise. old gobblers that take to
roosting high just prior to the fes-
tivities, the advance coming about
the time the housewives began buy
ing in earnest. Curiously enough the
severity of the annual shortages" of
turkeys, cranberries, pumpkin and
oysters are simultaneous-all are
short together at the crucial time.
Everything that is handled in South
Water street gets "scarce" in the
retail markets and the scarcity is
traced to the commission merchants,
NhOot NOhoIBllOlS HtdI Oull vi " BluJ
in the Chicago markets. Last year
the commission merchants blamed
the farmers and poultry shippers, the
poultry shippers pointed an accusing
finger at South Water street where
practically the produce OF the city in
wholesale lots is handled and the re.
taller put the blame there also, plead
ing innocence of extortlon himself
Turkeys went UP to rs cents a pound
last year cranberries to 12 1-2 cents
the quart, pumpkins to 20 cents each
and oysters to 40 cents, as against
IL cents for turkeys, cents for
cranberries. Is cents for pumpkins
and 25 cents for oysters. This year
the turkey scare has new wrinkle,
appendicitis having developed, and of
course the crop is affected. Chicago's
Thanksgiving dinner this year will
cost about $500, 900, not at prevail
ing prices but at the ''shortage"
prices that soon will prevail.
