11O BODIES RECOVERED.
State Department viii Take Charge Of
Mine When Recovery Work Is Done.

Plttsburg, Dec. 1.-The squeaking
iron bucket, operated in the 500 foot
shaft leading to the Rachel and Agnes
mines OF the Pittsburg and Buffalo
Coal company at Mariana, Pa, since
last Saturday, when terrific explosion
in the mines wrecked the up-todate
elevator in the shaft and snuffed out
the lives of 120 miners or more, has
carried to the surface the bruised,
mangled and burned remains of more
than 100 of the victims of the disaster.
The most reliable count of the
bodies recovered is no. two-thirds of
which have been identified. The gen.
eral belief is that not many more
bodies would be found.
James r. Roderick, head of the state
department of mining, said that from
data furnished him by the company
and reports from his six deputy inspec-
tors, he did not believe the death list
would exceed 100.
When recovery work is finished he
will take charge of the mine, investi.
gate the cause of the disaster and fix
responsibility therefor If possible.
81 have good reports from the six
deputies who have been working with
the rescuers," he said, "but will not
attempt to assign a cause from these
reports. ] can say. however, that
nothing could have given the state
department greater surprise than an
explosion in the mine at this time"
Mr.. Rod rick said this disaster and
the serie # last winter would form
the text OF a communication to the leg
islature next January urging sweep
ing changes in the state mining laws.

Three of Steamers Passengers and
One of Crew Lost.

number of years, caused the loss of
four lives when the Panama Rail-
road steamer Finance, bound for Colon
with So passengers, was sunk in col
lision with the White Star freight
steamer Georgia in the main ship
channel off Sandy Hook.
To add to the confusion moment
after the impact there was an eXplos-
ion of an ammonia tank in the forward
hold of the Finance and the fumes
drove the engineers and firemen to
the decks. William Todd, the third as
sistant engineer was partially over
come by the fumes and, staggering to
the rail, threw himself overheard. He
was not again seen.
Three passengers are missing. They
are Mrs. Irene Campbell Of Colon,
Henry Muller. a conductor on the Pan
ANA railroad; Policeman Schweinler
of the Canal Zone police.
The captain of the Georgia quickly
dropped anchor, manned his boats and
sent them to the wrecked steamer,
greatly aiding in the rescue. All of
those saved were taken on board the
Georgic
The Finance had over 700 bags of
mail aboard. Four elephants in the
Georgic's hold were undisturbed by

Pittsburg, Dec. l. - Thirty more
bodies have been located in the wreck

ing the rescue party to bring the
bodies to the surface remained in the
mine all night working in four-hour
shifts to facilitate the work. All the
headings, with the exception of two
left headings, were penetrated, and
1t is said that little difficulty was ex-

and coal.
All danger from further explosion is
past, 1t was said, and the work Of
bringing the thirty additional bodies
which had been located, will proceed
at once.
John H. Jones, president of the
Pittsburg Buffalo company, stated

the time of the explosion and he does
not believe the list of dead will ex-
ceed that number. One hundred and
twelve bodies have already been To-

Oil Company is $11o,ooo,ooo.
New York, Dec. /. - The develop
ment of trade of the Standard Oil com.
pany in foreign fields, as a subject Of
evidence in the government suit to
dissolve the oil combination, gave
John D. Archbold vice president of the
Standard, an opportunity as a witness
to spread upon the records some inter-
esting features of the Standards busi
ness in foreign countries.
Of the total amount of Illuminating
oil refined by the Standard in 1906
Mr.. Archbold stated that 63 per cent
was sold abroad. Export figures of
other years further showed that the
Standard exported the major bulk of
its illuminating oil.
The line of testimony with regard
to the immense foreign trade indi'
Gates that one of the defenses of the
Standard is that the present combina-
tion makes it possible to obtain this
foreign trade which, the company will
endeavor to show, brings trade bal

went on to say was secured in the
face of the competition of 400 foreign
companies Products of the Standard

Archbold said, who further declared
that it was the aim of the company to
reach direct every consumer in the
Far East, as was done in this country.
Testimony was given by Mr. Arch.
bold that during the period of the
Standard Oil trust the trustees poured
millions of the company's earnings
back into the trust for the construc-
tion of new refneries and pipe lines.
Mr.. Archbold said that the trustees
Of the Standard Oil trust, after its or
ganization formed the Standard OH
company of New York and New Jer.
sey, to hold properties which had pre-
viously been held by Standard inter
ests. The witness said the Standard
companies of New York and New Jer-
sey were still the same companies as
those formed in 1882.
The capital stock Of the Standal Il
Oil company of New Jersey was So,
100000 in 1882, but was increased in
1892 to $10,OO0,OOO and in 1899 to
