Two United States Geological Sur
vey Men Make Descent.

Cherry, HIS. Nov. 17.-l'nr tic FIRST
time since Sunday tW" mon took their
lives III their hands tonight and de-
seconded the vontilatiug shaft of the
st. Paul mine in the blocked and fiery
galleries OF which more than 800 ncn
and boys ii" dead.
The exploit was succt SsfuIly carried
ont by Thomas Morris and K. Y. VIII
liams. both of the United States G"r-
logical Survey Fhcv were nearly cX-
naustod when hauled to the TOP but
were quickly revived with stimulants
From what they discovered it is
thought that the fire has moved back
from the main shaft and that it may
be urSSiblc soon to enter tn" ,nin".
Williams, much the lighter man Of
th" two, descended to the second gal
lery where the fire started. The shaft
was comparatively cool. There was
considerable steam but lnucH l'Ss
smoke than on Sunday. The buckets in
which the descent was made were
large enough only to stand in, holding
to thcir rope and carrying their oxygen
supply with them much imped thcN

INDICTMENTS ARE RUMORED
Against Several Government Weighers
of Sugar at New York.

New York, Nov. 17.-Although no Of
fetal confirmation could be had today
either from customs officials or from
United states District Attorney Wise,
the report is persistent that indict
ments have been found against a num-
Der Of government weighers whom
Special Attorney General Henry l..
Stimson has connected with the weigh
ing frauds perpetrated by the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Co. at its Will
liamshurg docks.
The report from Washington that a
list Of % assistant weighers had been
furnished to the United States Civil
Service commission by the collector at
New York of men implicated in the
frauds. was confirmed by Deputy Sur
Vcyor Richard Parr.
MIR. Parr admitted that list OF
'undesrabes' had been prepared by
him and forwarded to the secretary OF
the treasury. He intimated, however.
that this list was much longer than
that referred to by the United States
civil Service Commission and that
when the final "shake-up" came con-
siderably greater number than q
would be dropped.
The belief is becoming general that q
congressional investigation of the New
York custom house will be ordered
Col. Edward S. Fowler, former col
lcctor of the port declared himself in
favor of such an investigation today.
Deputy Surveyor Parr modified to-
day his earlier declaration that he hat
discovered fraud in the Importation OF
! sugar at Philadelphia by saying that
! possibly the discrepancies discovered
by him could be ascribed to natural
causes such as shrinkage and moisture
