Chicago, Jan. 21.-Possib1y 3ne list
of dead in yesterdays calamity may
reach sixty-Six, was the opinion eX-
pressed today by the coroner. There
are forty-five bodies at the morgue,
which corresponds with the number
reported missing by the Jackson com
pany, but the companys pay roll is in
complete and inquiries have been re-
ceived about many whose names are
not on the roll, but who are said by
relatives to have been working in the
crib that day. Of thirty-nine injui ed
rescued yesterday, fifteen remained
in the hospital today. Five of tn am
are in serious condition
The bodies of the dead are unrec-
ognizab1e and are in a burned and
blackened condition and in many cas-
es the faces of the persons are miss
ing. They are encased in sacks at
Murphyss morgue. It has been decided
to hold a single funeral and bury them
in one big lot.
President Danderea, of Denver, of
the. Tunnel Miners Union, expressed
the fear today that the total death
list may reach one hundred. He said
there were 55 working in the crib and
gave the opinion that many of the
missing, undoubtedly at the bottom
would probably never be recovered

Efforts were resumed today to as
certain whether or not any w0rkmen
are still living in the shaft beneath
the crib, mile and a half out in the
lake. All the pumps are kept working
and it is believed some of the men
will be found alive. George w. Jack
son, of the construction company
which built the shaft has informed
the coroner it will be Impossible for

BUSCH ON PROHIBITION MOVEMENT

generally in the United States.
AS an individual, | believe in the
temperate use of all things which if
used temporarily add to the whole
some pleasures of life. | also believe
that intemperance of any kind is bad,
and that the state should exercise
wisely its power to regulate traffic in
all things which human experience
has shown to be easily subject to
harmful abuse, though beneficial
when used temporarily. Therefor.
the state should regulate the traffic
in intoxicating liquors, but, like all
efforts to regulate human conduct
by legislation, its effort should be SO
designed as to cause the least i'm

by prohibition. 1t is not my purpose
to discuss the merits of this conclu-
sion, nor to present the reasons
which led to it. 1t is my conviction,
based on many years of observation
in many parts of the world, and on
most minute consideration of the re-
suits of each method as tried in var
ious states and countries. / know
that prohibition does not prohibit,
and believe that it does infinitely
more harm than good, both to the
individual and the state.
The same question of regulation
or prohibition was presented as to
Our army, and decided by congress
in favor of prohibition. The exper-
fence of the army without a regulat-
ed canteen has demonstrated the es-
sential error of prohibiting instead of
regulating. The recent appalling oc-
cHrrcnccs at Leavcnworth furnish
but another illustration of the fact
that it is wrong to attempt by legis-
lation to control mems habits as to
matters not wrong in themselves.
The abolition of the canteen has
hurt the soldier and the service. The
prohibition of all liquor to the civil
ian will likewise injure the citizen
and the state. The American people
are Justly opposed to the evils re-
sulting from abuses of the liquor
business, but not to the business it

owner to keep his bull in this field.
"Burnham's buIl'' was the local
SYNONYM for all that was bad-tem-

Patty knew the stories, but she had
never before seen the bull.
He looked singularly mild for so

not to looks, and since he command

against the sky line on the other side
of the valley. Even in the fading
light she could recognize Dams con-

forgot her displeasure and screamed
a warning.
Apparently Dan did not notice the
bull nor realize her warning, for he
waved his hand at the sound of her
cry and came running down the hill
toward her.
"The bull!" screamed Patty. Go
back or climb tree"
Dan made no reply, but came on
across the bridge. and presently he
had vaulted the fence and stood be-
side her before the bull had seen
