TO CONTROL
THE COPPER

New York, Nov 15.-No definite in
formation could be obtained today of
the reported organization of a billion
dollar corporation to control the out
put of copper. A number of confer
ences of the copper interests have
been neli in the Office OF j. p. Nor
gan & Co. but no one will talk of the
reported combination.
Fairly general credence is given the
statement that j. II. Morgan will have
the financing of the stupendous deal
in charge.
The interests named in connection
with the combination are the Analga-
mated interests. Guggsnheim, Phelps
Dodge and Cole-Ryan properties. The
Pagan interests in Peru and the Rio
Tinto properties in Spain may be in
cluded.
The Calumet and Hoolan interests

ississippitO-Atlantic Inland Wnter-
ways Association, of which Senator
Duncan Fletcher of Florida, is presi-
dent, Is i'm charge of the convention.
Tne aims of the convention are an
nounced as follows:
Feeling sure that the full industrial
development of the Southern States
must depend on improved transporta-
ton facilities, We favor the adoption
and prompt execution of a compre-
Aensive plan of waterway improve
mant. We especially favor and call
for the construction of a deep inland
waterway along the Eastern Gulf
coast. to connect the Mississippi Riv-
er with the Atlantic Ocean, together
with the Improvement of the Gulf
slope rivers, in sucn manner as TO
open new territory to water transpor-
tation.
We favor the execution of the work
under Federal appropriations ade-
quate for prompt and certain compile
tion of the entire project; and, in
case the state of the public treasury
forbids sufficient appropriation at an
early date. We favor the issuance OF
bonds in such amount as to insure the
completion of the work in a business
like way.

admitting the natives to an important
part in the legislation of the country
went into effect today. Thus begins a
new and striking epoch in the aisto-
ry of British rule in India.
All regions and special interests
may eleci representatives to the vic
eroy and provincial councils, but in
view of the recent anarclistic out
breaks, 4 safeguard is provided, en-
powering the government to declare
ineligible to election those persons
whose election would be considered
contrary to the public interests. The
functions of the council are considera-
bly, enlarged and il can take an active
part in making the budget and in all
legislation.

80 MINERS
ARE DEAD

Cherry. ILL.,. Nov. 15.-More than
one hundred bodies are reported TO
have been found in the St. Paul mine
this afternoon by the rescuars. The
relatives of the victims and spectators
fought fiIriously to reach the scene as
the work of taking out the bodies be-
gan.
Another outbreak of fire in tae
mine This afternoon prevented any ef-
forts to remove the bodies from the
mine. The mine was quickly sealed a
gain and thus practically ending all
hope that any may be rescued alive
Cherry. ILL.,, Nov. 15.-Before night
fall IL seems probable that the fate
of the three hundred men entombed
In the St. Paul will be sceriained.
This morning the hoisting shaft which
was sealed up Saturday night to
smother the fire In the mine, was un-
covered and a rescue and exploring
party consisting of James Taylor, the
State Mine Inspector. r.. Y. Williams,
of the L. s. Rescue station at Urbana
and James Hand and Henry Smith,
the miners who escaped Saturday.
were lowered to the taird level. where
il alive the entombed miners are a
waiting rescue, but neither the min
ers nor the officials think there is any
chance of the men below being alive.
Late last night the air shaft, the
only opening besides the hoisting
slaft. was Theoretically sealed for all
night. The crowd of anxious men and
women surrounding the opening of
the mine complained bitterly as the
scaling of the shaft seemed TO cut OFF
the air. but the mine officials declared
that IL the men We're alive they would
not be affected. except that it would
probably put an end to the fire still
snouldering in the tfnbers.
In the meantime hunger and want
are rising like spectres to haunt the
families of the miners and a thous-
and orphans will soon be without
food unless help comes.
I'VE will need help and plenty of
It," said Mayor Connolly. "and II
must come promptly or there will be
great suffering among the destitute
miners. This town is too small TO han
die the situation alone. Most of our
citizens are miners and the majority
of them are down in the mine. proba-
blv dead"
The members of the exploring par
ty found II impossible to penetrate
more than a few feet from the shaft
as the mine Is still on fire. They were.
however, able TO see a number of bod
les. and also discovered that the
mine is caved in in several places.
The officers of the local miners un-
the Mine Workers Union, that 80
lives had been lost
II was planned to bring the bodies
of the miners to the surface this af-
ternoon. but the task is difficult. The
searching parties are provided with
oxygen helmets and carried stretch
ers into the mine. but it is believed
the men in their desperate fight for
life crawled to far into the extremi-
ties of the mine that they cannot be
now recovered. Pathetic evidence of
this Is shown in scattered caps, din
ner buckets and lanterns along the
shafts where the men dropped them
as the fire drove them further in.
