Modern practice has not altered this
view, but 1t has been discovered that
the knowledge gained in this way does
not always give entirely satisfactory
results, and the various railway COM

of combining instruction in the form
of lectures and demonstrations with
that learned in the cab of a locomo-.

this not only from motives of econ

passengers and of residents along the

terry surrounding the holocas t, was
the climax today of interesting de-
velopments in the Investigation by
the coroner and state investigating
committee.
Buck told the jury he had seen
Rosenjack here last night and not
withstanding that he knew the coro-
ner wanted him at the inquest, made
no effort to advise the authorities of
his whereabouts.
Bucks father, who has charge of
the mine office had refused to answer
questions pertaining to Rosenjack's
whereabouts. He tod the coroner he
refused to answer because he thought
it private business" and added, "if
you people want Rosenjack you will
have to get him"
Whats your best judgment of his
whereabouts? the coroner asked.
In the United States" said Buck
Give Us your worst judgment"
said the coroner.
"In England" answered Buck
The son was summoned before he
coud communicate with the father,
and followed the latter on the witness
stand.
He admitted that he met Rosenjach
in the outskirts OF Cherry Friday
night
'Will you state what your conver-
sation was?"
INC, sir"
You knew the commission and the
coroner wanted that man, did you
not?"
"Yes, sir"
Did you inform Rosenjack of that?"
asked the coroner.
'.So,rsir, did not, answered Buck,
He already knew it"
"What did he state as to his OBJ
ieetions to appearing her and giving
his evidence?' asked the coroner.
"IIe did not say anything except
that he was afraid to show his face
in Cherry"
Buck stated that after meeting
|Roseniack he went to Ladd in the
carriage that brought him to the out
skirts of Cherry, and that he had
no knowledge of his whereabouts
since.

Deans, another missing witness, who,
it is charged, was spirited away after
the fire. testified that Deans told her
the fire started from blazing torch
hung where an electric light sught to
be, and that he saw Alexander Rosen-
jack trying to extinguish the fire with
his jacket. Mrs. Love testified that
her brother was taken from home in
an automobile after he was sent for
by the mine officials and conferred
with them.
Are you satisI ed asked mem
her of the mining commission, that
somebody furnished your brother with
money to enable him to stay away so
long?"

Couden, cashier of the customs office,
VIII claims to have been the first one
who informed the railroad officials of
