Is the Official Report Sent to
President Lewis by the
Mine Workers.
ALL HOPE IS CON E.
Of Any of Entombed Men
Still Being Alive But
Work Goes On.

CHERRY, Ill.,, Nov. 15-Betore
nightfall the probable fate Of 800 on
more miners entombed in the st.
Paul coal mine will be asceerained.
Rescuing parties made two trips to-
the second vein early in the day,
hut did not bring on. any of the en-
tombed men. They reported the mine
caying in at several places and that
1t was impossible to. make an ex-
ploration OF more than a few feet
beyond the shaft entrance.
The mine issstill on fire. The res
cners continue work. They en-
deavor to reach the third vein,
where 1t is believed the men are. /;
Neither the miners nor officials ex-
press anyAhope OF chance for the
mems being alive.
iRnmors that a shot was heard be-
meath the surface and that rappings
on pipes have been used to indicate
that the entombed miners were alive,
is declared to be absurd.
All night few anxious men and
women surrounded the openings Of
the mine. At present there is no
destitution in Cherry. but aid will be
needed later.
Mayor Connolly says there are a
thousand orphans in Cherry. and un-
less food in large quantities is rush
ed into the own, many will be
hungry,
Officials of the local miners union
today notified President Lewis Of the
mine workers union that $40 lives
We're lost. Lewis advised the local
that $5.ooO.0o--eontribution by the
national body would be Immediately
placed at the disposal of the widows
and orphans of the victims.
The rescuers are equipped with
oxygen, helmets and all parapherna-
Tia used in mine rescue work. They
are unable to penetrate more than a
few feet from the main shaft In the
second vein. Their equipment "a
useless in the smoke and gas-choked
chambers.
As the result hope is vanished that
any Of the entombed men will be
taken out alive.
Three descents were made today,
hut not sign of life was seen.
The rescuers declared NO life
could exist hundred feet beyond
the shaft entrance.
Probably some bodies will be
brought to the surface this after
noon. siF
More than 100 bodies were report
cd found in the mine this afternoon

MINERS ARE STILL ENTOMBED
|SfIIpp IS SENT TO PRISON
BY THE SUPREME COURT

|postponing action until this fall. On
November rehearing was denied.
and the six men ordered before the
court for sentence today.
In investigating the case, the su-
preme Court found that johnson
was removed from Chattanooga to
Nashville before his trial, because OF
fear that he would be lynched. He
was brought back for the legal exc
cution. When the Supreme Court
stayed the execution, the court has
held. Ship made no effort and gave
no orders to have the deputies or
others guard the Jail, but left the
night jailer, Gibson. there alone.
That evening a white male prisoner
was removed from the upper floor OF
the Jail, leaving only Johnson and a
white woman on that floor. The
court pointed out that this same
man had been removed in the same
way at the time of the first attempt
to lynch Johnson, which had been
frustrated by the removal of the
Negro.
Sheriff Indifferent.
Ship lived only a few blocks from
the jail and when he was notified by
the trial judge and the prosecuting
attorney that a mob was at the jail,
went there alone. Although for an
hour in the midst of or near the mob,
the court held he did not seek to o5-
tain information so that he could
identify any of its members.
The court in finding Shipp guilty
commented on published interview
alleged to have been had with
Ship: THE people of Hamilton
county were willing to let the law
take Its course. until 1t became
known that the case would not prob
ably be disposed Of for four or five
years by the Supreme Court of the
United States" 1t quoted Shspp as
saying: "But the people would not
submit to this. and l do not wonder
at IT."
Chief Justice Fuller in pronounc-
ing Shipn guilty said that this refer
ence to people was significant,
FOR he was candidate for re-elec-
ton and had been told that his saw
ing the prisoner from the first at
tempt to mob him would cost him
his place, and he answered that he
wished the mob had got him before
he did"
The court held that Gibson must
have believed a mob would attack
the jail the night johnson was lynch
ed, but that although he was in
charge of the jail more than two
hours before its arrival, he made no
effort to summon assistance to repel
the attack. The testimony of Mrs.
Baker, a white prisoner, TO the eff.
feet that Gibson told her before the
mob arrived that IT was coming and
for her to go to her cell, was refer
red to.
Williams and Nolan participated in
the lynching, the court held upon the
strength Of direct testimony to that
effect. Statements made by Padgett
and Mayes were held as evidence Of
their guilt.

Textile Goods Out Of Wood.

In Germany, Spain and Holland tex.
tile goods are made out of wood, and
it is probable that this industry will
soon spread to France. The process
consists in making the wood pulp
pass directly through metallic place
with a number of slits. resulting in
the formation of thin ribbons, which
pass from the slited plate directly to
o machine which twists them, trans.
forming them into very regular
thread of any desired size. The wood
fiber threads thus produced go by the
names of xyloline, silyaline and II
celia; they are classified by number
like the other threads in use. Mixed
with hemp threads, they have been
used to make towels. These mixed
fabrics readily admit of washing, dye
ing and printing; the wood-pulp
thread, which grows weak when wet,
regains its resistance when dried

Sources of Contauion.

In a house in the English town of
Exeter sat two men. One of them
informed his companion that the last
time he was ir town he suffered from
smallpox in that very room. "In that
corner" he said, was a cupboard
where the bandages were kept; it is
now plastered over, but they are
probably still there" And he took 4
poker, broke down the plaster and
found them. From this find" the
two men contracted the disease, and
1t spread through the town and
worked fearful havoc.

Terrible Mine Disaster.

More than 400 lives were bloted out
in the black depths of a mine at Cherry,
ILL.,, on Saturday, where fire and ex-
plosion wrecked the st. Paul Compa-
ny's colliery and desolated every home
in the town. The catastrophe, unsur-
passed in its horrors by any in the his
tory of the coal industry in America,
came with the suddenness and fury of
a hurricane blast, and it's fearful work
was as quickly done.
Shortly after the explosion occurred
IL bodies were taken out. Six of these
were men not employed in the mine,
who gave their lives in futile effort
to save the imprisoned workers. When
these devoted men had given up their
lives it was realized that there was no
more hope of rescue, and though there
waited many who were ready to save
their imprisoned comrades, they were
restrained and, for hours after the ex-
plosion occurred, the entrance Of the
mine was sealed in the hope of check
ing the flames.
The exact number of the victims cam
not be known, but it is believed to be
400. tExperts, who penetrated the
smoke-filled air shaft to depth of 800
feet early last night, returned with a
ray of hope for the grief-stricken rela-
tiyes of the entombed miners.

aPOLLY OF THE CIRCUS"
SPECIAL THANKSGIVING MATINEE.

SPECIAL THANKSGIVING MATINEE.
"Polly OF the Circus" which will be
at the Beverly next Thursday, Nov.
18th, will give two performances. A
special Thanksgiving matinee, and
evening performance. Many of our
readers failed to see this magnificent
performance last season, but they
should be sure and see it this time.
Seats for the matinee and night per-
Torrance can be secured at the Beverly
Bookstore by phone or letter.
The fact that the famous American
play, "Polly of the Circus" will bring
here the most elaborate scenic produc-
ton ever seen on the stage of the Bever-
ly Theatre, as well as one of the finest
acting companies on tour, will make
the engagement Of this dramatic mas
terpiece on next Thursday, an event
not soon to be forgotten. Even to the
smallest detail the local performance
of 'sPolIy of the Circus will be exact
ly as it was presented to crowded and
enthusiastic houses for one whole sea-
son at the Liberty Theatre, New York
City. A more genuinely refreshing
play than sPolly of the Circusn has
not visited here in a decade, and thea
TRIGGERS are already regarding this at
traction as the treat of the season.
