Recall Statement When They Find II
Chicago. June 9. - Representatives
Of the "allies" last night recalled their
statement that they will bolt the Re-
publican national committee so far as
the presentation of evidence to sup
port the claims of anti-Taft delega-
tons from Southern states is concern
ed. There Is evidence that the an
nouncement made Saturday night
upon the authority Of Representative
James Francis Burke, manager for
Senator Knox, after he had been in
conference with Senator Hemenway
Of Indiana, j. B. Healing of Indiana
and others identified with the cam
paign being made by the "allies," Gre
ated dissension. Some OF the other
spokesmen for the "allies" declared
the announcement to be i'll advised,
and they busted themselves yesterday
to counterfeit its effect.
1t is generally believed that the an
nouncement made Saturday night was
designed to test public sentiment and
to influence the Taft forces to q com.
promise proposition, submitted to the
committee Saturday just prior to ad.
journment. That the effect was not
what the "allies" expected was admit
ted yesterday by a number of men
who had knowledge Of the entire pro

we're closed temporarily. The men
working the night shift in the mine
were hurriedly notified Of conditions
on the surface and instructed to with

extinguished the list was checked
over and discovery was then made
that three men were missing. Imme-
diately efforts to rescue them were
made. The first men to enter the
mine returned in haste and informed
those in waiting that the mine was
filled with foul air. Two rescue par
ties were formed and the men started
into the mine in groups of five.
Rescuers Succumb.
The air generated by the motion Of

but little discomfort was experienced
there. Soon after score or more Of

Paying Teller and Auditor Of Pitts
burg Bank Get Ten Years Each.
Pittsburg, June 9. ~ Henry Richer
former paying teller Of the Farmers
Deposit National bank, and John
Young, the former auditor, who loot
ed that institution of almost $4,000
600, were each sentenced to serve ten
years in the Western penitentiary by
Judge Young, In the United States
court.
It was the first time that the looters
appeared before the court except
when they pleaded guilty, and many
startling facts were brought out re-
garding the greatest bank robbery of
which there is any record. According
to statements made before the court
by the two men and their attorneys
every penny Of the immense fortune
they stole was taken in actual cash,
commencing with amounts as low as
$500 and ranging to $4,000 as they
became holder and more experienced.
The bank charges them with taking
$1.150,000, but it IL admitted that the
sum is close to $4,000. 900.
OF this vast sum the bank secured
back only $4,000 and a great stack Of
stocks Of various kinds which are not
worth the paper they are printed on.

with the exception of rowing, the

Beef Packers Throughout the
Country, Becoming Anxious.
Push Prices Up.
BUTTER FAMINE THREATENED
Sixteen Big Manufacturers Say Higher
Freight Rates Will Result
-l-,r in Famine.

New York, June 10.-Beef packers.
throughout the United States, and es.
pecially in this section of the coun.
try, are becoming alarmed over the
great shortage in beef supply. Since
last week the price has risen from 1
to cents on the 100 pounds and the
price is now around one-third greater
than it was the first part of June,
1907. The sharp rise in prices is said
to be due entirely to the shortage in
the supply of cattle in the market.
and already there is talk of being
forced to have beef which was export
ed to England last winter shipped
back to this country in cold storage.
Chicago, June 9. = 1t was announc-
ed yesterday by the Chicago packers
that because of shortage of cattle
and of canned meats the price of beef
and of canned meats will be increas-
ed" The increase will be between
! and cents a pound. aSer--'sf e-r2~-
Butter Famine Next. =
Sixteen Of the largest manufactur.
ers of butter in the United States will
open their fight against the proposed
advance of freight rates on cream
and milk before the Interstate COM
merce commission next Wednesday.
The average increase in tariffs is
from &C 2-3 to 100 per cent. A butter
famine is promised should their fight
fail.
The butter manufacturers say they
see no alternative other than to stop
business. The margin of profit, they
say, is less than one-half a cent per
pound net. A disturbance Of the
rates that have been in effect for fif-
teen years, it is alleged, not only
would imperil the millions invested in
creamery plants and cream-saving
stations in Minnesota, Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri. Iowa, Illinois, South
Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana and other
states, but would cause an actual loss
to them of more than $1,O0O,0OO an,
nually.
