GRASSY SOUND NOTES

The latter days of August have been
record breakers in regard to the num-
Der of visitors and the "Queen City,
and "Vaud j." have carried large
crowds each day. Every available row
boat was put into service. One angler
strayed too far into the thoroughfare
and became confused and as a conse-
quence he spent the night in an open
boat. Mr.. Schmitz seached for the
angler who failed to return until far
into the night with no effect. The
search was renewed before day break
when success crowned his efforts and
the angler was none the worse for his
experience. Mr.. Scnmitz has earned
the appreciation and good will of all
for his untiring and unselfish efforts.
Mrs. e. l.. Mailman, accompanied by
Mrs. M. Beerbower, spent Monday

interfered somewhat with the pleasure
of the party, they managed to have q
royal good time. Through the kind
ness of 8. J. Bunch, the ladies were
treated to a very enjoyable mp ca bis
launch. After a tussle among the men
for fishing honors MI. Paget was
credited with catching the largest num-
Der. Miss Graham caught the weak
fish and Mr.. Bailey the largest
founder, Helen Welsh the largest

Of ventriloquism and witty sayings,
Helen Welsh with her recitations, Mrs.
Smith was IN demand as q pho
tographer, Mrs. Hickman spent her
time in nursing a boil and Allan Kyle
talked fishing in his sleep. The party
felt safe under the protection Of Mr..
Smith, well known in police circles in
Philadelphia.

MET AN AWFUL
DEATH IN A MINE
SIX MINERS AsPHYxlATED IN A
SALT MINE NEAR DE.
TROiT.
THE MEN WERE CARELESS
Flirted With Death Deep in the Mine
and Lost Their Lives From Too
Great Familiarity With Danger.

Six men met death in the lakewood
salt mine at the north end of Pleasant
avenue, about one-half mile west OF
the city limits of Detroit, shortly after
1870 o'clock Saturday afternoon. AS
phyxiation by hydrogen-sulphite gas
was the direct cause of the fatality.
Too great familiarity with danger APP
parently sums up the cause of the
catastrophe. Shortly after / o'clock
Frank Wiley. foreman OF the shift
working at that time, and his five
men, whose names are Edward
Brooks, James Gibbons, Joseph
Daley, Louis p. Peterson and William
Holt, were sent down the shaft to in
stall a new pumping station. The shaft
is 16 feet wide and Is in three COM
partments, each about FIVE and one
third feet wide. The middle compart-
ment Is known as the working Sec
ton. In this the cage, carrying its
human freight up and down, is operat-
ed. The cage is 4x4k feet wide. The
two outside sections are known as
the pumping section and the air sec
ton. Down the air section extends the
canvas fiue, through which is sup
piled the air for the underground
workers.
This air fue is in sections, which
overlap each other in such a way that
the fiue may be broken at any point.
providing air for the workers at var
ious levels down the shaft.
When the six men were sent down
the shaft to a point 1872 feet below
the surface of the earth, they care
fully broke the air flue. Those above
know that they worked at this point
for brief period and then for some
reason descended the shaft $50 feet
further down TO a point known as
pumping station No. 9. The men were
thus $50 feet below the surface OF the
earth. The bottom of the shaft, 625
feet from the top. is covered by a
sulphurous body Of water, probably
20 feet deep.
When the men descended to pump
ing station No. 9, they did not take
the precaution to join the air fue at
the point where they had left of
working. That alone tells the story OF
their death. That one mistake made
or the lakewood mine a CHASTITY char
mel place, where mems bodies lie in
water and their fellows faced death
to bring them back.
The bodies of three OF the victims,
Jas. Gibbons, John Daley and Louis
Peterson. are still in the mine covered
by 100 feet OF water.
lakewood relatives of the victims
predict an exodus of miners from the
job as soon as the bodies are re-
covered.
Partly as result OF the lakewood
mine accident, the state labor depart
ment probably will make an effort in
the next legislature TO secure super
vision over all mines in the state, and
to make all mines subject to its in
spection as factories and coal mines
now are.

THE OPEN DOOR.
The Acknowledgements Agreement 10
Far-Reachinq.

me American-Japanese agreement 10
FarReaehing.
Secretary Root and Baron Taxa
hira will, within the next few days,
sign the Japanese-American agree
ment which will, in effect. inaugurate
a hv, policy In the far east and make
America more than ever the guardian
of the "open door,"
The prevailing opinion is that II
supersedes the British-Japanese al
lance and constitutes a defensive al.
lance of the United States and Japan
for the protection of mutual interests
in the Chinese empire and also makes
the two coutries the guardians of the
territorial integrity of China.
There are those who think that Sec.
rotary Root desired the arrangements
to smooth out complications that have
arisen since the advent of the Japan
csc in Manchuria.
The members of the Japanese lib
eral party take the agreement to mean
that 1t will be unnecessary for Japan
to proceed further with her naval ex-
pansion, which is costing so much
money.
The new Japanese cabinet has al
ready announced a policy of economy
with regard to naval expenditures.
1t Is believed every European nation
is in sympathy with the agreement.
The American government has fully
sounded the nations of the world
having interests in Asia as to their
attitude on the subject of the new
agreement. These included the gov
ernments who heartily gave their as
surance to the "Open door" policy so
warmly advocated and consistently
urged by John Hay.
All that remains to be done is to
agree on the text. This work has made
splendid progress and 1t was stated
at the state department that in all
probability the agreement would soon
be made public
