CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-The
ill-fated st. Paul mine, where sew
eral hundred miners are entomb-
ed under thousands of tons Of
earth, is slowly giving up it's dead.
When the rescuers again de-
scended today into the main shaft
they brought eight badly charred
bodies to the surface, making a
total of nine recovered.
The fire which has been rag
ing furiously since last Saturday,
has practically burned itself out.
When the rescue party. headed
by Mine Inspectors Taylor and
Moses, reached the 200-foot level
this morning they were confront
ed by a number of victims hud-
died together. Appearances in
dicated that the dead had elm bell
from lower levels than the 900
foot level.
Suffocated to Death
The imprints of finger nails in
the palms of their hands indica.-
ed that they had suffocated before
the flames had reached them.
On account of the poisonous
gases the rescuers were enabled
to remain under the surface only
a few seconds and during this
time only eight bodies could be
recovered. A second trip will be
made into the shaft later in the
day.

1t is impossible to learn where
the posters were pronted of who
postd them.
Barron is now In self-exile in
New York. where he has denounc-

an autocracy.
Friends of Barron declared to-

the high wind took down string
of twenty poles and every light in
the city went out.
After flashes of light and dark
ness the company finally got the
poles braced out of the water
enough to give light last night in
a fashion, and today 80 men are
at work trying to bolster up the
line.
In Water Waist Deep
They are working in water waist
deep and the job is a hard one.
The company, however, is trying
to keep the power on today. 1t was
thought this morning that all
power would be taken off to give
the men a chance to work, but
an effort was made to keep, one
live wire to serve the city.
The poles are being braced up
today and the company hopes to
maintain lighting service tonight.
Tacoma factories and mills
using electric power were all prac-
tically put out of business from 1
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
While the wind and water has
thus been playing havoc with cleo
trio wires the telephone and tele-
graph companies have been having
their troubles also.
Traffic on the railroad lines
has been interferred with, as the
result of a number of washouts,
and. should the flood conditions
continue, train service may be tied
up completely.

CASES - ONE MAN PLEADS
GUILTY TODAY.

4, Despite the fact that the prose-
cutting attorneys office will not
ask for the maximum fine in the
"freezum" cases for those who
plead guilty, it is known that a
number of the butchers charged
with the unhealthy use of preserv-
atives, will fight their cases
through the courts.
The first of these to be ar
raigned, Harry Nash, yesterday
announced in Justice Cards court
that he would plead mot guilty" +"
and others are expected to follow
in his footsteps when called into
court Monday. The issuance of
further warrants for arrests de-
pends upon Deputy Food Commits
sioner Adams, who is at present
out of the city.
Frank Phil pleaded guilty this
morning before Justice Graham,
making the sixth butcher who has
preferreS to admit his guilt, re-
ceive light fine, and promise to
be good henceforth, rather than
take the risk of a public trial,
which even II 1t resulted in ac-
quittal, would mean much public
ity and consequent injury to trade.
The amount of the fines against
those who have pleaded guilty
will probably not be announced
until Monday. Justice Card this
morning stated that the trials of
those who contest their cases will
probably have to be postponed for
a month or more because OF the
enforced absence of Commissioners
Adams, whose Investigations
brought about the arrests of the
butchers now charged with selling
tainted hamburger.

FOR RIGHT TO STAND ON A SOAP BOX AND TALK
BITTER INDUSTRIAL WAR IS WAGED IN SPOANE


SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 10
"Give us free speech! Free speech
is God-given and inherent right

Constitution of our United States.
1t is right which these police are
trying to take from us by unfair
means. We ask you, fellow work

fl
An Industrial Worker OF the
World or a Socialist is the orator
He has stood for the brief peri
cd of 20 seconds on top of a bat
tered soap box, haranguing little
assemblage at one of Spokane's
street corners, when a burly police
man snatches him from his i'm
provised rostrum, and he goes
smiling, to join his fellow-workers
in the little, cramped, dark quar-
ters of the city Jail.
Seemingly ominous of a bloody
future, comes the thunderous
tramping of 800 pairs of hobnailed
shoes on the resounding metallic
floors of that foul, damp place.
"Unbar these doors-free us
from this damnable sweat-box-
this hell hole!" Three hundred
voices cry in discordant chorus.
For days this chorus has rumbled
from among the narrow cells, in
echo to the voice of the rebellious
street corner orators, outside
Still the fight goes on with no in
dication of abatement.
1t is indeed, fight-a war.
Eight thousand self-styled revo-

with tens of thousands of others
standing ready, throughout the U.

are pitted against the 100 Spo-

Room for soap box and a
street corner crowd.
While the police are clubbing,
cursing and kicking these men,
who are fighting for what they
deem their Constitutional rights,
every revolutionist on the streets
is under strict orders from his
leaders to carry no weapons and
to offer no resistance to the po-
lice.
Each time they enter the great
crude hall, opening off an alley
near the river, there is a man at
the door to search them for con-

The city jail is a sweat-box-a
hell hole. As many as 2S men have
been packed like swine into one
dark, smothering cell, six by eight
feet in dimensions. The great steel
doors have been closed for hours
and the only breath of fresh air

ing tube.

SENATOR'S NAME
DRAWN INTO
FRAUD CASE
(By United Press Leased wire)

l
SEATTLE, Nov. 19.-The
name of United States Senator
w. B. Hepburn of Idaho has been
brought into prominence in the
hearing of the ALASKA coal isT.d
cases, which is in progress here to-
day, in connection with the Cum
ningham claims. From testimony
contained in exhibits which were
introduced yesterday, 1t appears
that for more than two years after
he became member of the United
States senate, Clarence Cunning
ham carried a coal land claim in
ALASKA for him in consideration
of legal services.
Throughout his term of service
in the upper house of congress,
Senator Hepburn has opposed the
forest reserve and other conserva-
tion policies advocated by Former
President Roosevelt.
Following the introduction of
the private note book of Cunning
ham, containing the above infor-
nation, an affidavit given by Cum
-ningham to l.. r. CLAWS, dated
Sept. 4, 1903. was presented. This
affidavit declares that when Cum
ningham discovered that Alaska
coal land could not be taken un-
der the mineral laws, Senator Hey
burn decided to Withdraw from
the pool.
In substantiation, he quotes a
letter from Senator Hepburn, say
ling: II do not desire to partici-
lpate in or be interested in any
manner. in. acquiring public lands.
I prefer during my official career
Ito be absolutely free from any
possible interest in the subject of
Legislation. Whatever services
may properly within my duty as
a public official do for you. shall
Icheerfully perform, but not for
any consideration, directly or in
ldireotly."

Indication of Murder
That the crime was murder, and
that the suicide theory is unlike

the bullet took an upward course
through the mans body, piercing
the heart and passing out through
the left shoulder.
Three cartridges were found in

could easily have been placed

Find No Revolver
The absence of the revolver
would seemingly be impossible in

to DR.. w. H. Karshner of Puyallur
