Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 2O.--That condi.
tions, which existed in the Chicago
lroquois theater fire and which we're
responsible for the large loss of life
there, prevailed, In measure, in the
st. Paul coal mine here in which an
explosion occurred last Saturday,
causing the death of 300 persons, is
the charge made by Joseph II. Nicho.
lai, who represents the Italian
consul.
Giuseppe Lotto, a minor, said that
while escaping through the smoke
and flames in the mine, he discover.
ed that scores of bodies had been
piled up in front Of door which, II
1t could have been opened, would
have afforded way to safety.
This new phase Of the disaster is
accompanied by later developments
of new horrors in the mine. Men,
mules and burning coal are mixed in
the great piles that block the gal
leries. Collapse of the ceilings around
the shafts have probably buried many
OF the miners. Others are supposed
to be floating in the water that has
half filled the third vein. Not for 10
days can the great mass of mutilated
and decomposed bodies be brought
up.
The dead who were recovered were
identified as Henry Kroll, So; Alfred
Kroll, is; father and son; George
McMullen, 36, and Charles Waite, 32.
The mine was a sorrowful scene.
AS the weeping women and children
viewed the dead, their grief moved
the hardest heart. The sight OF mu-
tilated forms brought realization that
there was no hope for any human
being who failed to escape after the
fire. The realization drove many of
the women to their homes, where
agents OF charity were able for the
first time to talk with them satisfac-
torily.
Convictions that their husbands
were dead prompted the women to
think of their future and their chill
dren.
is 1t possible that after being
buried for six days some OF the
miners may still be found allve?"
This question was revived as Of

remote parts of the galleries. One
old miner who lost son, declared
he was still hopeful.

kept themselves alive as long as 30

AT one time the men working In
the second level were almost cut off
from escape by a sudden falling OF
masses OF earth and rock. They had
placed two bodies on stretcner and
were ready to carry them to the

Review of Marine
Biological Work

The Puget Sound Marine Station
which this year held half OF It's ses
sion at Friday Harbor and half at VI
ga closed its work on SATURDAY.. july
al The session was profitable one
to all who attended. and looked at
from various standpoints may be re-
garded as successful. There were
thirty nine students. instructors. and
investigators. These represented ii
colleges and universities and nine
other institutions. Thirteen states
and two foreign countries were repre-
sented. Nine regular courses in Bot
any and Zoology were offered and
elected by students.
Evening lectures to the number or
twenty-ssven we're given and IN addl-
tion to these Prof Bessey of the UNI
versity of Nebraska gave course OF
ten lectures in General Botany.
Collections were made by many OF
the institutions represented and much
valuable material will 90 from the
station to add efficiency to the sci
ence work of the various institutions.
Those who have attended the ses-
sion have been inspired to do more
and advanced work in their studies.
While the mem bers of the station
did not come primarily for pleasure
hno 70
stay on these islands time long to
be remembered on account of the
agreeable associations that have been
formed with persons and with nature.
Some mistakes we're made this year
and some unpleasant things have hap
pened, which is to be regretted.
The members of the station have
been very patient under trying cir
cumstances and the general feeling is
that these things should be forgotten
and not allowed to crowd out the
more pleusurable memories. The
conviction is however. firmly ground
ed in TIE minds of many that no such
conditions should again be permitted
to obtain in the station.
The future plans of the station can.
not at this time be announced. but it
is to be hoped that definite and salts
factory plans will be made which will
encourage the widest and freest re-
search untramm elled BY any distract
ing influences.

Models of different sections of

Both gentlemen seem to be strongly
of the opinion that trap fishing, as

is serious menace to the salmon in

waters.

Great Lakes. as we'll as the Atlantic
