TUGS UNDER DRAWBRIDGES
War Department Rules Modifying
Hinged Smokestack Law.

On the recommendation OF Maj. Morrow,
the engineer officer in charge of the inn
provement OF the Potomac river. the War
Department has established certain rules
for the more equitable enforcement of the
act requiring tugboats navigating the
river at Washington to have hinged
smokestacks> in order to pass under the
drawbridges
To meet the conditions the War Depart
ment, on the recommendation of Maj.
Morrow, has made a rule allowing a mar
gin of one foot at high tide between the
bottom chords of the bridges and the tops
of the pilot houses in the enforcement
of tie law The actual high-tide clearance
between the bridges and the water service
is Is feet inches. Under the rule estab-
lished IL feet = inches is the height to
which the law Is held to be operative.
Tugboats of greater height than that are
held to be exempt from the operations
of the law requiring hinged smokestacks,
and may require. at their option. the
opening of the draws for passage through
the bridges.

IMPORTERS GET $500, oo0,O 900
Sugar Trust Has Not Been Alone in
swindling Operations

New York; am satisfied that the
government has been swindled out Of
more than S20O, 900, 900 in import duties
at this port during the past twenty
years"
This statement was made Wednesday
by Richard Par, deputy surveyor, who
for nearly three years has been studying
the secret methods By which importers
here have been eVsding the tariff laws.
His close personal and official relations
with Collector Loeb warrant the infer
enee that the collector shares with his
chief aide this startling opinion as TO the
enormous amount of money out of which
the government has been cheated here
BY men who, for the most part, are
stanch advocates of the protective tariff
system. e-srsr e-r
The results of my incompleted work"
Mr.. Parr went ON, convince me that
fully SIC, 900, 900 a year has been filched
from the revenues by New York inn
porters of all classe Of foreign commodi-
ties. While the sugar frauds are the
most glaring and probably bulk larger
than do those of any other single import
ing interest. at the same time / am
aware that the American Sugar Refinery
Company has not been alone in these
swindling operations.

ABANDON HOPE FOR MINERS
Many Men Are Probably Buried in
the Debris.

Cherry, lll.-Hope that there might
still be alive some of the $50 men
known 70 be entombed in the st. Paul
coal mine was practically abandoned
Tuesday.
An exploration into what is known a.
the second vein, where il was thought
that probably many miners had barri-
caded themselves and had managed TO
exist on oats and corn provided for the
mules, showed that great portions of the
tunnels had collapsed. ID j. thought
many men were buried under the debris,
and if the obstruction is not soon cleared
away at least 100 bodies may never be
dug up. Fire was still raging in these
tunnels, and the back portions, where
imprisoned miners could have found a
retreat, were said to be full Of the fatal
black damp.
what little hope we had was given
up when We penetrated 10 what is called
the overcast" said W. W. Taylor, gen
eral manager Of the mine. I'm that place
pure air would have been found il IL
could have been found anywhere, aud
the miners, aware of il, would have re-
treated there
Meanwhile Cherry continued TO be a
village Of mourning. The death Tues
day OF one OF the survivors brought to
the surface last saturday reduced the
total number Of those saved out Of the
$40 lost in the disaster to nineteen.

Washington.--Tbe gold mines Of the

worth of the precious metal during 1905
according TO the United States geological
survey, and the bureau Of mines, which
have co-operated in preparing an analyst
Of the reports from private rchners and

The total gold product was 5,i7o,34o

valle of 500, SCI 900; Alaska was second,
with Si9,s5s,sO and California was
third, with 9,327, 200 Porto Rico was
the smallest producer, with total of
only 5000. The Philippines show a re-
nnarkable increase Of S2l9,sOO TO a total
Of 1924, 500
Some states of the union usually not
associated in the public mind with gold
mining make a showing in the report.
In fact, twenty-one OF the states and
territories, not including Porto Rico and
the Philippines, are producing gold.
Texas produced $50 worth in 1905; New
Hampshire mined $1,000 worth, and
somewhere in the vast grazing country
Of Wyoming was produced $1,000. The

DIES WITH SON IN ARMS
CONGRESSMAN DE ARMoND OF
MISSOURI BURNED TO DEATH.
Was Carrying His Grandson From
Burning Home When He Sue
cumbsd to Smoke and Fire.

Kansas City, Mo-It was in = vain
effort to save the life Of his little grand
sou that Congressman David A. DEAR
mond, of the Sixth Missouri district,
persisted in a fire that destroyed his
home in Butler, No, early Tuesday.
The heroism Of the congressman was
made known when, with his arms locked
around the blackened and burned body
Of the little boy, the oongressmsn's body
was found. lie had caught up the G.
year-old lad, David A. DeArmond, Jr,
and rushed with him through the leap
ing flames that filed their sleeping
room. The congressman fell with his
unconscious burden and both sank
through the floor TO quick death.
What makes the tragedy unusually
pathetic is the fact that the grandson
was the grandfather's idol The two
often slept together. Monday night the
boy went to his gTandfather's house,
and after happy evening the two re-
tired.
The next the family heard Of them
was early Tuesday, when, from behind
the smoke and flames that enveloped
the house, the boy screamed;
"Oh grandpa, get me out Of here; I'm
burning 10 death"
Yes, son; don't be afraid grandpaIl
take you out. y was the caim.reply. Then
both went down 20 their death.
James DeAunond, who is,s son Of
the congressman and the father Of the
boy who was burned. tried 10 rush into
the burning house to save the victims.
lie was. prevented from entering the
house by friends, who knew the effort
would be in vain.
Mrs. Clark says that her father sacri-
feed his life in a heroic effort to save his
grandson. She thinks that Congressman
DE Almond was aroused in time to save
himself, but that in awakening the boy
and attempting to carry him from dan
ger, he became confused in the smoke,
which was momentarily growing denses,
and was overcome before he was sble
TO fnd his way out.
