WATER THROWN INTO MINE
 NOT REACHING THE FIRE. Only One Way to Make Possible Re-
 eoVery of Bodies.

Cherry. IL. Nov. 25,-Details of a meeting held here early today be- tween the entire state mining board Battalion Chief Mcdonald of the Chi cago fire department. and w. w. Tay- Tor. general superintendent of the Chi cago. Milwaukee & St Paul Co. s mines. were made known this after noon.
 Battalion Chief Mcdonald after an inspection of the work being accom- plished by his men. who had been throwing water in the east bottom or the mine for more than a week. an- nounced that the water being thrown into the mine was not reaching the fire and that he saw no use of throw ing in any more water as it was mere ly filling. up the third vein. Bodies of the known dead in that vein are already inaccessible owing to the quantity of water already thrown in- to the mine
 Mir. Williams of the Urbana rescue station reported that the fire had ex- tended to the coal pillars and was forming dangerous gases. After con siderable discussion. it was unani- mously agreed by the meeting that the only thing that would make possible ultimate recovery of the bodies ih the mine was to seal m both the main shaft and the air shaft and keep them sealed until the cutting off of the air smothered the fire.
 The shafts were thersupon sealed.

PRESIDENT TAFT BRUSHED"
 BY PRETTY GIRLS FROM OHIO.
He Seemed to Be Completely Over pome-5ashfui to Extreme Diffidenee.

Washington, Nov. 25.-President Taft Is bashful to the point of extreme f1ifddence. This is the verdict of twen- ty-four pretty girls from Ohio, the presidents native state. who called at the White house to pay their respects. They are reputed to be the most pop ular representatives of the twenty four counties of the Buckeye state, se- lected through a voting contest con- ducted by Cleveland newspaper. All gre pretty and vivacious, and the pres tdent seemed overcome when they s'rushed' him in the executive office.
 The men persons in charge of the party explained that the young wo- men were on a tour and that they were considered the most representa- tive young women of their state.
 Quite unique" murmured MT. Taft, seemingly abashed; quite unique"
 Then, according to the girls, the president lasped into a state of "blue funk,. and, seemed to be completely overcome by their presence. He shook 1hands with each Of them and wished them a pleasant trip on the rest of their journey, but that was aa When the young women filed out they were tn love with the president, but they said unanimously that he fell down" when 1t came to paying them compli- ments.
 A report that some Of the girls at- tempted to kiss Commander R. E. Peary at tho White house at the time was indignantly denied by the explor- CT and the girls themselves.

 ed he doffed his-hat Incidentally. it might be remarked that MT. Taft is the first president of the United States 10 take such journey, since the days when General Grant, smoking his black cigar, strolled about the capital

 Accordingly the president and the army officer spent more than an hour in stepping along at lively pace over the sidewalks, spotted with sleet and snow. The president was clad in a rough suit of tweed derby hat and light overcoat. He seemed much in- terested in the shop windows. When the two returned to the White house. dinner was ready and MT. Taft seem ed glad of the fact.

No Guests at the Dinner Table, Only Members

BIG RHODE ISLAND BIRD A FEATURE
President Compelled to ake Two Hours Walk to Set te Mir. Vose's urkey-Official Family Surprised by the Chief Executives Sudden Adoption of Pedestrian
 sm-fsh Officials All Attended Church in Morning

The president and the attorney gem eral then struck off on a walk that lasted more than two hours. They left the White House grounds by the rear gate which opens on the mall and their course took them over the wind swept stretches of the Potomac river bot toms, well down toward Alexandria, Va. When they returned MT. Taft look ed as fresh as when he started, but MT. Wickersham. who is not quite SO volum- inous physically, appeared to be some what weary. The two separated at the gate of the White House.
 Good bye, Wickersham," said the president, waving his hand. I've en- joyed the stroll immensely"
 Good night, Mir. President" return ed the attorney general, you certainly put me through strenuous two hours. but I've relished every minute Of it."
 The president has astonished his of ficial family by his sudden adoption of pedestrianism. He walked through the streets of Washington. accompah- fed only by Captain Archibald Butt, his military aide, and his stroll today likewise was unannounced and he was not followed by secret service men. How Members of Cabinet Passed the
 Day.
 The members of the cabinet observ- ed the day in the same manner that millions of others did. Secretary Knox was compelled to be at hts office for some time because of the pressing na- ture of the Nicaraguan affair. All the other cabinet members. except Post master General Hitchcock. dined with their failies. The postmaster gen. eral is d bachelor, and kept inviolato where he was to eat his Thanksgiving turkey.
 Practically all of the high officials of the government attended church in the morning. President Taft began the day by being present at the special Thanksgiving services at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church. A special choir and added elaborate musical features drew a large congregation.

TOO MUCH PUBLICITY
 PREVENTED A WEDDING.
Girl Only 19 and This Was to Be Her
 Third Venture.

Defiance, O.. Nov. 25.-Too much publicity spoiled the plans for the third marriage of Mrs. Bessie Speck- Will iams-Larcum, aged 1s, an intended Thanksgiving event. The girl was di- vorced Monday i'll probate court from her second husband, Edward Larcum. and through a newspaper reporter conf1ded to the public that she intend ed to oe married at once to Benjamin Hill, who had been boarder at her home and had advanced money to pay for the divorce proceedings
 When Hill applied yesterday to the same court for a marriage license it was refused, and he was informed that the formal decree of divorce would be withheld while the court looked further into the circumstances.
 The girl was first married at the age of 16 to Percy Williams of Cincinnati, and after a divorce married Edward J. Larcum of Deshelr, in January last.

MAUSER RIFLES AND GUNS
 FOB THE REvoLUTIoNIsTs.
Several Americans to Operate the Guns
 Arrive at BIuefields.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, Nov. 25-By Wireless to Colon.-The Norwegian steamship Utstein arrived here this morning from New Orleans with 2,000 Mauser rifles, 25O.O00 rounds of am- intuition and several pieces of light artillery for the revoiutionists. The steamer also brought several Ameri- cans to operate the guns.
 In an interview today General Cha morro, the revolutionary leader, said that when Groce and Cannon, the Americans who, it is said, were exe- cuted by President Zelaya, were cap tured by General Toledo, near Grey town. Zelaya. ordered them shot. To- 1edo refused to obey the order, but had them placed in the front ranks where they were open to General Cha morro's attack. They were uninjured however, and subsequently were sent to Fl Castillo fort, where they were confined in the dungeon. General Chamorro says he knows nothing fur ther regarding Groce and Cannon.
 Chamorro declares the blockade of Greytown is effective by sea and land and is confident that the troops of President Zelaya soon will give in. He will leave tonight for Greytown with 300 recruits and party of sharp shooters.
 Conditions here are quiet.

TELLTALE LANTERN
 IN VIRGINIA MURDER CASE
Lantern Identified by Wick Made
 from a Felt Hat.


 Grundy, Va, Nov. 25.-Great prog ress was made on this, the first day of the trial here of Howard Little charged with murder and arson at Hurley, Va, about two months ago When the trial closed for the day the state announced that half of it's evil dence was in, and that it expected to finish it's case by tomorrow.
 Within half an hour after the court convened jury was secured. The court room was crowded and a spe- cial guard was placed at the jail ti prevent any trouble.
 Little's alleged victims were Mrs. Betsy Justis and five members of a family named Meadows.
 The strongest evidence against the accused man was that of Mary Lee, who testified that the lantern which Little brought with him after spend ing the night the murders were com mitted away from home, was the one which was used in the Justis home, and which was the property of George Meadows. She identified 1t by a wick made from a felt hat. Miss Lees tes- timony was admitted, but only after a protest by counsel for the defence. This evidence tended to show that Little visited the Meadows home on the night of the crime, as it is known that the lantern was at the house before the murders were committed. Other witnesses also testified that the lantern was the property of Mead ows.
 Mary Stacy, the woman with whom Little. it is alleged. was to have left Hurley for the west, admitted thot Little told her he had money in the bank at Blue6eld and that as soon as he could get it out, he intended taking her away from this section. Evidence was admitted showing that George Meadows and Betsy Justis had $1,300 in the house at the time of the murder. but none of the money had been found in the possession of Little.
