They Still SEEK
BURIED MINERS
i. Is Believed 100 Are Alive in Third
Vein.
ONE AuNDREDANDFFTYMlS MISSING
Thlrty-Elsht Bodies Of Miners were
FOUND Who Had Been Dead Short
TIme-MIns Workers
Protest.

Cherry, III, Nov. 2S.--In the third
vein Of the St. Paul mine, almost bVt
feet below the earth's serface, rescuers
are making desperate attempts 10
reach more than 100 entombed miners
who are believed TO be alive In one
Of the farthermost chambers OF tine
gloomy tunnel.
Just previous to entering the third
vein the rescuing party found ~
bodies in the east end Of the second
level, and Coroner Malm said that the
stricken miners died less than 40
hours ago. The indications were thai
they had been overcome by gas. At
dead miners had removed their coats
and tied them In to big fan, with this
they had tried to fan away the black
damp. the deadly vapol which event
ually caused their deaths. The bodies
were found on their faces, as though
the miners had fallen over while kneel
1ng in prayer.
II aid could have reached the en-.
sombed men least Saturday, when the
flrst miners were rescued from living
death, II Is said they could have been
saved. Even when the bodies were
found, one miner was believed to have
some life In his body. He was hurried
20 the hospital car, but the physicians
said he had been dead several hours.
Until now no attempt had been made
to enter the third vein Of the mine.
The finding OF the bodies, together
With an emphatic protest from the
United Mine Workers OF Illinois
AGAINST the unwarranted delay, caused
the mine inspectors to send men into
the lowest level.
From the estimates by the company
oficials more than $50 miners still
are unaccounted for. Many more
bodies are believed to be In other
parts Of the second vein. More than
100 Of the miners, however. It Is be-
lieved, may be found alive in the low
81 vein. While II is known that water
mas stood several feet deep in the
4hird Wien since the disaster, It is said
there Is an overcast, or high spot OF
Kround, where several hundred men
could live high and dry. Fresh air. II
q said, has been circulating freely
iahrough this vein and the Imprisoned
Sainers have little to fear except
Anngor.

CENTRAL BRANCH
MUSFBE IMPROVED
Gov. Stubs Considers Present Con.
dltlons Intolerable.
THE STATE READY 10 OPERATE
Unless Immediate Action 10 Taken BY
the Missouri Pacific at Reselver
VIII be Appointed and Road
Fixed Up.

Topeka, Nov. 23.-Gov. 6tubbs a
ready to issue his ultimatum TO the
oficers Of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road company regarding conditions on
the Central branch.
THAT railroad has got to be i'm
proved and improved right away" the
governor said. III the Missouri Pacific
does not do It Kansas will. The state
will have q receiver appointed. as II
has right to do under a law passed
last winter. Under this receivership
we will put the Central branch In FIRST
class condition. give good service TO
its patrons, and, having done this, turn
1t back to the Missouri Pacific. The
time for temporizing and listening to
silly excuses has passed. That road
must be fixed and that right away"
Some time ago Gov. Stubbs began to
take an interest in the Central branch
affairs. John Dawson. attorney for the
railroad board, went to st. Louis to
ascertain definitely from hrst hand
what the Missouri Pacific intended to
do. The ofElcials put up a pathetic
plea Of the roads attempting to dis
pose Of bonds and securities and o.
soon as that was done the Central
branch would be given proper atten
ton. The governor waited patiently
for this to be brought about Becom
ing tired Of waiting the governor last
Friday sent q telegram to George
Gould, president Of the Missouri Pa
ciHc, and signed 1t officially as gov
ernor Of Kansas.
In reply Gov. Stubbs received a tele-
gram from a clerk saying that Mr..
Gould was out Of town and that the
matter referred to could not be
brought to his attention for several
days.
"Such q telegram" the governor
said, sis an insult to Kansas. 1t is
simply a subterfuge to put US OF and
gain time. The state is already run
ming little line from Blaine to West
moreland and unless the Missouri Pa
ciilc changes Its tactics regarding the
Central branch and 1t changes them
now"-the now was said with en-
phasis and with the bringing his fist
down on the tabIe-''the state will be
in the railroad business on a larger
scale"
Gov. Stubs later received . tele-
gram from George Gould. 1t explained
that the company had been working
for years on comprehensive financial
plan and had just now finished work
ing 1t out The telegram further said
that the Central branch would receive
its proper share Of the appropriations
and would be put in good condition al
quickly as possible. h'
After receiving the message, Gov.
stubbs telegraphed President Gould
that he would be pleased to receive a
call from President Clark and the
general solicitor, Martin L. Clardy.
and hear definitely about your plans
for improving your property In Kan

Later a telegram came from Mr..
Clarke seeking a definite appointment
date. The governor answered; "Will
