Taft's newspaper, President-elect Taft
said that the first name mentioned was
correct. That is the name of Philander
q, Knox for secretary of state. IIr.
Taft said that there was no possible au-
thority for the other names mentioned,
as he had not finally decided on any OF
the other positions. Several names are
under consideration for each of the other
places with the exception probably OF
postmaster general, secretary of war and
secretary of agriculture. There is good
reason to believe that the incumbents Of
these places will be Frank II. Hitchcock,
Gen. Luke E. Wright and James Will

MILL l0NAIRE IN
BATTLE WITH FIRE
JOE LETTER AND BEAUTIFUL WIFE
LEAD MEN IN FIGHT TO
SAVE MINE.
HOSPITAL AT SHAFTS MOUTH.
Coffee, Sandwiches and Medical Attend
ance Are Given to Men by Brave
Young Woman.
FINANCIAL LOSS HEAVY NOW.

ZEIGLER, ILL.,, Dec. 21.-With a stub
born fire slowly fighting back hundreds of
men who have been ceaselessly at work
for days seeking to save the coal supply
of the great Zeigler mine, Joe Letter,
Chicago millionaire, and his beautiful
young wife have joined forces with the
workmen and are personally combating
the flames.
Early today Letter and his wife, for
merly Miss Juliette Williams of Wash
ington, d. c., were at the scene of the
conflict. Letter was leading the work
men with an inspiring energy, while on
the fighting line, tired but determined,
was his beautiful young wife, serving
the almost exhausted men with coffee
and sandwiches and encouraging them
by her presence
Hope to Save Mine.
Letter arrived at Zeigler on a special
train hastily arranged for. Through his
presence and that Of his wife hope re-
mains for saving the mine.
Fire started in the coal beds several
days ago. Gradually the flames have
eaten their way forward, and what was
believed to be matter of small conse-
quence now threatens the destruction of
an indefinite amount of wealth produc-
ing mineral and the loss of employment
to hundreds.
Mrs. Letter has had bandages, medi-
cines. salves, etc, brought from the
commssary to the mouth of the shaft,
and there she has erected a temporary
hospital tent. Cots and warm bedding
were also brought into service, and when
fire fighter, singed by the heat, over
come by the smoke, or weakened by ex-
haustion. was brought out of the shaft,
he received quick and effective treat
ment. In many cases this was admin
istered by Mrs. Letter herself.
Are Valuable Property.
The Zeigler mines are among the most
valuable of the Letter properties. Their
coal supply is practically hmitless, while
great expense has been incurred in erect
ing homes for the miners and the con-
struction of buildings and the purchase
of implements.
Since its requirement., however, the
ZeigIer property has not been a prosper
Gus one for Mr.. Letter. Soon after its
purchase he had troubles with organized
labor, which proved very expensive.
these troubles had hardly been
smoothed over before the disastrous fire
came.
1t is believed that if the flames are
checked at the present status the mine
cannot be worked for months and that
heavy financial loss has already resulted.
