GOVERNOR MUST
FACE TRIAL JURY

Chickasaw, Okla, Nov. 17.-Federal
Judge John A. Marshall, Of Utah, today
overruled the demurrer filed by Gov
ernor Charles N. Haskell and five other
prominent Oklahomans to indictments
charging them with fraudulently Sc
curing from the government title to
large number OF town lots in Musko-
gee, Okla.
The defendants were ordered to ap-
pear for trial next Saturday morning
at Chickasa.
Judge Marshall, in his opinion, con-
tended that the statute of limitations
did not enter into the case because
the conspiracy to defraud alleged in
the indictment was continuous n was
therefore punishable at any time. The
defendants had asserted that the
acts charged against them were COM
mitted eight years ago n hat the
statute of limitations did apply in
the case.
In the demurrer 1t was stated that
government officials had charge of the
sale Of the $50 lors in the Muskogee
townsite and could sell or transfer
them to any one at any price. Judge
Marshall, in his opinion, commended
that the scheme Of the alleged con
spirators tended to practice a fraud on
the government" He said that the laws
of the United States provide that all
lllNlldh dIld iuo W up
proved by the secretary of the interior
Of the United States and If an Official
undertook to act without this authority
his act would not be legal.
The five co~defendants of Governor
Haskell are: c.. w. Turner, A. z. Eng
lish, w. R.. Eaton. W. T. Hutchins and
+. b. Sewers. The six men were in
dicted by the federal grand jury al
Tulsa on May q last, after scores OF
witnesses had been summoned. The
witnesses came from distant parts OF
the United States and a few from
foreign countries.
The defendants were under indict-
ment on h anne charge before, but
Judge Marshall quashed the first in
dictments on a ~technicality. The fed,
eral grand jury promptly returned new
bills rectifying the fault that had mad,
| the previous Indictments illegal. II

|MME. STEINHEIL GOES
FREE IN MURDER CASE
Accused F~renchwoman, After
Spectacular Trial, Is
Acquitted by Jury.

Paris, Nov. 17.-Mme. Steinheil was
acquitted by a jury at an early hour
Sunday morning for the murder of her
husband, Adolph Steinheil, a noted
painter. and her ~stepmother, Nine.
Japy.
To some degree sentiment in the
stuffy, crowded courtroom favored the
prisoner, and the delay caused much
apprehension. With the first appear
ance Of the jury, however. several Of
whom were smiling, an instructive feel
ing of acquittal flashed through the
courtroom.
A dramatic scene followed. The red
robed judges and counsel filed in and
took their places. Every eye was
riveted on the door which the prisoner
should enter. but she did not appear.
M. De Wales, the presiding Judge,
turned to the jury and said:
Have you reached a verdict?"
The foreman arose n replied:
ION our conscience we answer NO
to every question"
Bring in the accused"
Fully two minutes passed before the
black robed figure, with a white face
dropping on her breast, appeared in the
doorway supported on either side by
seemed to be fainting, but in response
to q wild outburst of cheers she lifted
her head and looked about, smiling
family in acknowledgment. Then she
tottered forward and sank on the floor
beside the rail.
When the judge pronounced the YER
dict her faint murmur OF thanks was
hardly heard. An instant later M,
Aubin was over the rail lifting her In
his arms. The crowds surged forward
in a solid wall, making the rafters ring
with cheers. Outside the gloomy court
tens Of thousands who had been wait
ing for hours took up the cry. Special
editions Of the papers spread the news
like wildire through the ~boulevards
where thousands more were waiting in
front of the cafes and the same scenes
Of rejoicing were witnessed there.
After being assisted out of the court
room Nine. Steinheil was conducted
from the building by one of the numer.
Gus subterranean passages.

FEDERATION OF LABOR
FOR A GENERAL STRIKE

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 17.-Plans for

throughout the country for two weeks
beginning on the day the officers Of the

prisoned for contempt of coNrt were
inaugurated here Sunday at a meeting
Of the central labor union.
Resolutions to his effect were unan-

represents about 49, 900 workers in many
lines of employment in this city. Copies
Of the resolutions were sent to the
American Federation of Labor, now in
session in Toronto, Can, and it was
decided to appoint q committee of five
in this city to perfect plans by which

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Hope has all
but been abandoned by h relatives Of
the 800 or more men numbered as vic
Tins in the greatest mine disaster in
the history of Illinois. That not one
man of the hundreds entombed in the
st. Paul Coal company's mine will be
taken from 1t alive is the opinion Of
those on the scene.
Rescuers equipped with oxygen he'll
NETS and all the paraphernalia used in
mine rescue work, who entered the
mine today, declared the mine was still
on fire n caving in many places. They
were unable to penetrate more thar a
second vein. Their equipment was use
less in the smoke and ga3 choked cham
bers.
Air Is All Exhausted.
That every bit Of life giving air had
been exhausted many hours ago was
declared certain.
Three descents were made, but no
signs of life was seen, and the rescuers
declared that no life could exist for
hundreds of feet beyond the shaft en-
trance. A few miners caps and lamps
were seen-trag ic tokens of the first
rush for safety by the miners who es-
capped, but no bodies were found.
This indicated to the rescuers that
when the miners realized hat they were
pSIilCu IOptlSSSly Ill a. pll lIOII WHICH
there was no exit they rushed to the
furthermost end Of the vein where some
air might be found that would keep
them alive until help came.
Frantic protest against the action of
the state commission in ordering the
sealing up of the entrance followed the
action, and grew greater as the hours
passed. Despite the expostulation of
the relatives Of the imprisoned men, eX-
perienced mine workers asserted 1t was
the only way to end the fire and afford
any hope of escape to those within.
President Richard Newsam, of the
state commission, who was on the
ground yesterday declared he would
have prevented the futile attempt OF
Superintendent Bundy and others to
enter the mine Immediately after the
explosion. He asserted that ever at
that time any chance of escape by the
main shaft was impossible. To the
throngs about the entrance today, State
Mine Inspector Taylor said a small
supply of air probably still existed in
the mine and that 1t was a fighting
chance for those within. This was de-
MED by miners who inspected the open,
ings yesterday.
Ex-Chief of Police McFadden. fol
years a miner, and one of the last
men to leave the mine alive, reluctantly
said that with the closing of the shaft
Saturday night the last vestige Of hope
for the men a vanished.
Officials Of the local miners union to,
day notified President T. L. Lewis, o.
the mine workers union. that 80 lives
had been lost in the st. Paul Coal com
pany mine disaster. .
President Lewis has advised the 10,
cal union that 5000, the contribution
of the national body. will Immediately
be placed at the disposal of the widow!
and orphans of the victims.
A representative of the owners of the
mine today declared that the loss o.
life would be 300.
