SEVENTY MINERS
RESCUED FROM DEATH

throng of women and children in a
historical rush to the scene.
Since Monday no expert, either OF
the schools or of practical mining, be-
lieved a soul remained alive.
Inspector Crawford, of the state
board of health, after being down In
the mine half an hour, reported sixty
seven of the live men so weak that
they were unable to stand the eXer-
ton of being moved. All the doctors
on the rounds and in the village were
hurried into the mine, where a tenn
porary hospital was arranged.
William CleIland, one of the surviv.
ors, after drinking bowl of soup
appeared none the worse for his ex,
perience. He said:
CAS- soon as we discovered last Sat
urday that there was no hope of es
cape, we retreated to a safe place
where water was found. Fortunately
some timbers behind us burned out
this let earth and rocks fall, cutting
us off from heat and gas. How the
time went we don't know. We must
have been unconscious part of the
time
Il remember drinking quantities OF
seepage that dripped down into the
gutter and eating my lunch. After that
some of us pulled off bark, chewing
it.
de did not realize how serious
on,
men joked about it. After we drank
all the water and seepage ran dry
we began to pound on the walls, to
cause more to drop down. Soon af.
ter this we heard voices. We could
hear them digging on the other side
of the rock and dirt which filled the
passage, soon a little hole was seen
at the top, and the CLEAN of the
torches came through.
"Our first question was: is it Sun
day or Monday?' Most of us thought
it was Sunday and that we had been
in the mine only twenty-four hours. ~
Writes Letter To Wife.
George Eddy, in the darkness OF
span, VI HIS pOSILlOu, managed
write a few words to his wife, say
ing:
Dear wife and children: l write
these few lines and think it will be
the last time. came down the shaft
yesterday to help save the mems
lives. I hope the men got out were
saved. Lizzie, if I am found dead,
bury me in Streator and move back.
Keep Esther, Clarence and Jimmie to-
gether as much as you can. / hope
they will not forget their father.
Goodbye, God bless you all"
On the reverse side of this letter
was the following signed by Walter
Waite and eighteen others imprisoned
comrades:
eve, the undersigned, do not blame
anyone for the accident that hap
pened to pen us up in here. We believe
everybody had done all in their power
to relieve us. With best wishes to all
COncerntd."

COMBA ::
IS STANDARD \
DECISION By JUDGES SANBoR.
VANDERVENTER, HOOK AND
ADAMS.
CASE WILL BE APPEALED TO sU.
PREME coURT-sulT Be
GUN IN 1906.

st. Paul, Nov. 21.-In the opinion
OF Judge Sanborn, st. Paul, con
CURED IL by Judges VanderYenter,
Hook and Adams, with a special con-
curing opinion by Judge Hook, the
United States court, for the eastern
district OF Missouri yesterday rem
dered a decision declaring the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey an
illegal combination, operating in re-
straint OF trade, and ordered its dis
solution. The decision was filed sim
ultaneously in st. Louis AMIDST. Paul.
According to Frank b. Kellogg of this
city, who was the governments spe-
cial prosecuting officer, the govern
ment won every point for which it
COntended.
The case will be appealed TO the
United States supreme court, as the
judges who signed yesterdays decree
are judges of the United States court
of appeals, although they are sitting
for the purpose Of trying this case as
a circuit court.
The decree dissolying the Standard
Oil combine becomes effective in
thirty days, when no doubt a stay will
be granted for the purpose of appeal
When the decree takes effect, unless
stay is granted, the injunction will
issue, restraining the Standard OH
company from further continuance
under its present formation.
1t appears from Hooks concurring
opinion that the company cannot do
business under any other form wit
the object of sitting competition fC
he says, it is thought that with Il
end of this combination monopoly will
naturally disappear, but should 1t not
and members of the combination will
retire from it, except one, who might
perpetuate the monopoly by an ag.
gregation of the physical properties
and Observation-Disclosures, but this would
constitute a violation of the decree OF
the court.
In the trial q point was made that
the Standard company was a benet-
cient corporation in that it, by rea-
son of economy in operation, reduced
the price of its product This Judge
Hook says can have no weight.
The suit terminated by yesterdays
decision was begun in St Louis Nov
Is, 1906, and Frank B. Kellogg was
appointed special prosecutor, assisted
by Charles B. Morrison of Chicago;
Frank H. Poole and J. H. Graves, oil
the department of justice mad others.
The Standard company presented a
formidable array of legal talent led
by John G. Milburn Of New York.
Their defense was that the present
organization of the Standard Oil cor
pOration was the result of natural
growth of a great industry and that
no statute had been violated
Approved at Washington.
Washington, Nov. 21-The depart
ment of justice believes that the de
cision in st. Paul against the Stand
ard Oil company, establishes this
principle which the government is
for in all the trust suits:
That a combination which exists by
means of a corporation owning the
stock of others is contrary to thu
Sherman law and that such stock
ownership may be a device constitut-
ing a stock agreement in restraint or

Cherry, Ill, Nov. 22.-AliVe or dead,
1913 men remain down in the St. Paul
mine tonight. Following the rescue OF
tWenty-One men yesterday not a sur
viVOr was brought up yesterday. A
few more bodies were brought to the
surface, making the total ninety-tWo
today.
While enormous Sunday crowds
thrOnged the village and seriously
hampered the work of rescue by their
mere presence around the shaft, deter
mined men, down in the depths, we're
working feverishly to reach the far
corners of the corridors, now cut off
by flame or the deadly fire-damp.
There is still hope that some of the
entOmbed men may have walled them
selves in and remained alive. But
every hours delay now adds to the
imprObability OF their being saved.
Dozens of bodies are in sight in the
corridors that have been reached.
But the concern of the workers Is
with the living and not the dead. No
man can be spared to bring up the
bodies.
Meanwhile black despair has settled
again over the village in which yester-i
day hope was born anew. AS hour
after hour passes and no more rescuesI
are made, the wives and children of
the entombed men are breaking down

Rescuers Hear Voices.
Shortly before midnight, word came
from the foot of the shaft that work
ers on the east side of the second
vein had distinctly heard the voices of
two men shouting for help. Andrew
White, driver employed at the St.
Paul mine in Grandville, who hasl
been brought over here to work,
brought up the report.
4 was working with gang of men
near the foot of a heavy fall on the
east side Of the second vein when wei
suddenly began to hear faint calls for
help. Some of the men answered the:
calls, and then the cries were rel
doubled. Every one down there
knows now that there are at least two
miners living in the far-off galleries.
We were near enough TO them to dis
tinguish the calls and could tell thatI
they came from two men.
There is a seventy-foot fall be-
