FRANK HITCHCOCK IS CHOSEN
WILL BE POSTMASTER GENERAL
IN TAFT's CABINET.
Accepts the Place Though Announce
ment Is Not Made-Well Fitted
for Position.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 2S.-Frank
II. Hitchcock has been offered and has
accepted the position of postmaster
general in the Taft cabinet that is to
be.
The oficial announcement of this
conclusion regarding the first cabinet
selection of President-elect Taft
doubtless will not be made until Mr..
Taft has completed his cabinet, at
which time It will be announced en-
bloc. Because of this view of the sit
uation no expression regarding the Sc
lection OF Mr.. Hitchcock was obtain
able for publication from either Mr..
Taft or the Republican national chair
man. There were many reasons, II
was pointed out, why II was expedient
that Mr.. Hltchcock's status should be
fixed, at least so far as the principals
are concerned and a complete under
standing is known to exist between
them. AS chairman OF the Republican
national committee, Mr.. Hitchcock be-
came more familiar than any other
person with the political phase of
questions likely to arise at the begin
ming Of the Taft administration and
the knowledge he gained regarding
the personnel of the party will be of
great service to AI. Taft throughout
his administration.
Besides these reasons the national
chairman admittedly possesses a com
prehensive as well as a technical
knowledge of postal affairs, gained by
a protracted experience as first assist
ant and acting postmaster general. Mr..
Hitchcock, accompanied by Charles II.
Boynton Of New York, left here Friday
night for Washington, where Saturday
night he will be the guest of honor at
dinner to be given by the executive
and advisory committees of the ma
tional committee. He then will visit
headquarters in New York It is alto.
gether probable that from this time on
Mr.. Hitchcock will be frequently in
conference with Judge Taft.

ARCHBOLD ENJOYS
Telling Of TRUST
VlcE.PREsIDENT OF STANDARD
OIL COMPANY is PUT ON
THE STAND.
Rockefeller Ends story - Testlfies
That When the Combine Was Ef-
feeted He Owned Nearly one-Thlrd
of the companys stock.

New York, Nov. 25.--John ID. Rookie.
feller was replaced on the stand by
Vice President John d. Archbold of
the Standard Oil Company late Tues.
day afternoon in the governments suit
to dissolve that organization.
Mr.. Archbold beamed with satisfac-
ton in telling of the Standards early
history. His clear blue eyes twinkled
when he told of the industrial fights,
saying that he kept careful watch on
his competitor and then tried to beat
him"
After telling of his earlier expert
ences in the oil industry, Mr.. Arch.
bold said the introduction of refined
oil for domestic use was most difficult
because of opposition of the public as
result of its odor and burning quail
ties. From 1870 to 1875 the multipli-
cation of refineries brought about a
surplus which caused wide fluctua-
tions OF prices of oil. There were no
sys, Jmc of reserve or storage, he add.
ed. Speculation in oil stocks was
rampant, and even the price OF oil
was specuated in, which demoraliSed
the business and made II hazardous
for the manufacturer. The manage.
ment OF gathering lines was very bad,
said Mr.. Archbold.

At LEAST a75 AMERICAN WORK
MEN ENTRAPPED BENEATH

CAUGHT WITHOUT WARMING
All Openings Are Barred--Shaf
clogged With Debris Three Min
utes After Inspectors Emerge,
Pronouncing II Safe.

Mariana, Pa, Nov. 2S.-Two hun
dred and 75 men, mostly Americans
are probably dead in tne Pittsburg
Buffalo Coal Co.'S mine here. They
were caught in an explosion and not
one of them has come up the shalt
since the accident
Smoke and fumes and flames issued
from the shaft for two hours and oih
cials can not see how any OF the
miners can escape.
The force of the explosion was such
that the heavy iron cage which car
ried the men from the surface to the
workings was blown three hundred
feet away from the mouth OF the
shaft.
Two men who were on the cage al
the time were killed, one OF them hav
ing his head blow Off. Whether the
explosion was OF powder used fol
blasting or of gas which was com
municated from neighboring well
has not been determined
The first rescuing party of 60 were
compelled to retreat on account of the
intense heat, after getting within a
short distance OF where the men are
believed to be entombed.
According to the omcials OF the coal
company, State Nine Inspector Lout,l
and Mine Foreman Kennedy had just
completed two days examination
Of the mine only three minutes before
the explosion occurred. The surprise
of these two men is beyond descrIp
ton.
The explosion occurred shortly be

all caught without the slightest warn.
ing and either burned TO death in
sheets OF fame or suffocated with
poisonous fumes.
Some OF the officials think 1t may
be necessary to dig through 500 fee,
OF solid coal before the men can be
reached. The main shaft is believed
to be practically filled with solid
debris, and the second shaft has not
been completed. The only known exit
from the mine is the shaft down
days toll.
The smoke and flames have ceased

and 1t is therefore thought that the
mine is not burning.
