Taking Care Of Yourself.

There never was q time when peo-
pie paid al much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra'
tons has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place of heavy, greasy foods will work
wonders in the health and strength OF
a family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work al
school. For athletes, laborers. 1t is
the best food.
For those who are not convenient
to the store the large size family pack
age of Quaker Oats is the thing; fol
hot climates the Theoretically sealed
tins are best. IL

Rescue Efforts

Cnerry, NOV. l0.-lnlS evening the
officials of the miners union began
taking the roll-caIl of the widows and
orphans to whom will be given charity.
The work was difficult on account OF
the confusions and scattered cndition

three or four small childi EN- tugging al

fields crying piteous!y. Many ques-
toned answered incoherently.
The charity work is in charge of

Workers; Edwin Perry, secretary
treasurer of the United Mine Workers
of America; T.. p. Bicknell Of Wash
ington, director Of the National Red
Cross; Prof. Graham Taylor, of the
state mine investigating committee.
Up to late tonight no definite list of
the widows and orphans has been OBJ
tanned. Roughly estimated, Mcdonald
said, there are 1000 orphans and 200
widows. All of these are practically
dependant upon charity. For each
death the state miners union will pay
$3.50, and in addition contribute for a
distribution of $1,000. The national
union will give a like amount.

CANVASS OF HOUSES.


President Earling of the st. Paul
railroad caused a w of the homes
to be made. This showed 256 miners
missing, but families were not at home
and it is believed the complete list
will exceed 800.
This morning, when the main shaft
was ~re-opened there was little smoke,
causing a hope that the fire was
smothered. President Newsam Of the
state mining board conferred with
Mine Examiner Taylor and r. Y. Will
liams, and others, who appeared in
oxygen outfits with helmets ready TO
descend.
1t was felt that when recovery of
the dead began, difficulty would be en-
countered in preventing disorder; con-
%sequently an extra force of deputy
sheriffs was sworn. Addressing these
deputies, States Attorney Eckhart
said:
IL want you men to comprehend the
feelings of these poor people and ex-
plain to them the necessity for per-
feet order.
IF any attempt is made to break
through your line, explain in a
gentlemanly way. Do all you a to
dissuade them, and under no circum-
stances resort to violence or lose your
temper"

enclosure are walled with humanity.

TO DROWN THE A

Orders for pumps and trains of water
tank cars were hurriedly given. A
fire engine arrived from La Sale to-
night on a special train. Meanwhile
some experts found the fire had spread
through the coal veins and burned al
the timber supports. causing further
caving.
Inspector Taylor said: "If we had
had a barrel of water we could have
extinguished the renewed fire when we
discovered it. Whether the fan was
responsible for the second outbreak
or not. it is certain the original fire
was e. extinguished.
Chief J. w. Paul, of the govern
ment's mine rescue work, said the
chemical proposed TO be used will
have a tendency to smother the fire.
President Mcdonald, of the miners
union believed what would extinguish
the fire would certainly e%Xtinguish hu-
man life, If any existed.

Hope swung frequently in the ral-
ance today. Before the fire bia7ed
again rescuers descended four times,
and a rumor was circulated that the
prisoners had been reached.
They are alive" cried m Tiers and
wives. They will be brought up pref

But the rumor was baseless. The
rescuers once got down 300 feet 10 the
bottom of the shaft and penetrated $50
feet into the bottom gallery. But no
body dead or alive was found and no
Don was made to shouts.
The miners probably crowded into

THE I r RENEWED.

It was determined to start the ven-
tilating fan at the opposite side of
the mine so as to clear the galleries
OF smoke. The fan whirred for half
an hour, then was ordered stopped.
Smoke began to pour from the main
shaft, when it should have been drawn
down and out through the exhaust.
Down again went the searchers. but

procure fire hose, which was taken in
to the depths, and water turned on

was tried to drown the fire, but at two
o'clock dense smoke poured out and
the temperature around the shaft heat
ed so that re-entry was impossible.
The shaft was again sealed with steel
sheets and a layer of sand. Relatives
of the victims turned away In despair
and for an hour the streets were filled
with fearful people whose faces ex-
pressed utter hopelessness.

MINE ROOF CAVES AND VICTIMS
ARE BURIED UNDER TONS
OF DEBRIS

Cherry, Nov. 15.-The 800 or more
miners entombed in Saturdays dis
aster are dead. Some of the bodies are
buried beneath thousands Of tons of
earth, which caved in upon them, and
it is doubtful whether many bodies
will be recovered. This was the opin-
ion tonight after the continuous eff
forts at rescue carried on for forty
eight hours were temporarily abandon
ed.
Fires in the mine, which broke out
with renewed fierceness early today,
made further descents by rescuers i'm
possible. Fans employed to carry fresh
air down to the imprisoned men serv-
ed only to enliven some sparks into
flames. Soon the heat and smoke were
so dense ii was necessary to again seal
the mouth of the hosting shaft. To-
night the men below are locked in eff
fectiveiy. Whether the bodies will be
recovered tomorrow or several days
hence depends upon the condition of
the fire. 1t is possible that steam and
chemicals producing Carbonic acid gas
will be forced down tomorrow with
the object of checking the flames.

BESLER PLACED ON
SAN|TAR|UM BOARD
Governor Appoints Central Rail-
road Official to Probe Glen
Gardner Expenses.
[From a staff Correspondent.

TRENTON, Aug. Ex-Governor Fort
has announced the appointment of
w. G. Besler, of Plainield, as a member
of the Board of Managers of the New
Jersey Sanitorium for tuberculosis Dis
eases, to succeed DR.. J. Walter Ingham,
of Phillipsburg.
The Governor Is endeavoring to get
at the bottom of the causes for the
great expense and criticism in the ad-
mlnistration of the Glen Gardner SAM
tarium, as is evident by his succeeding.
after several efforts, to induce w. @.
Besler, of Plainfield, to accept the
vacancy which has existed in the board
of managers of that institution for
some time. 1t is said that the Gov
ernor has been pleading for some time
with Mr.. Besler to accept the place.
Because of his being connected with
so many interests, Mr.. Besler was quite
reluctant to accept the place. fearing
that he would not be able to devote to
the institution the time he felt a place
of this kind would command, as he
is vice-president and general manager
of the Central Railroad of New Jersey
systems, a director in the Iron National
Bank, of New York, and the Mechanics
Trust Company, of Bayonne. Besides
these, he is also a director in the
various subsidiary companies of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey SYSTEM.
In the appointment Governor Fort
hopes to have injected into the board
some ~up-to-date business methods. and
at the same time hopes that Mr.. Bes-
ler's presence in the board will have
the effect of doing away with some of
the petty jealousies which 1t is said he
suspects has been responsible for some
of the trouble that has been brewing In
the board of managers for several years
In discussing the matters of that In
~stitution one Of the members of the
board said today that, while the per
capita weekly cost for each patient was
now s10.2S per week, as against more
than S12 last year, the board hopes to
this amount further reduced. and
at the same time get as good results.

RICH CLUB SUED
By EX-STEWARD
Ousted from His Position, He
Wants $4,000 for ViOlat-
ing an Agreement.

Papers have been filed by Carl l..
Schweitzer, through his attorney, Frank
M. McDermit, in a suit against the
Deal Golf Inc Country Clnb,-in which
many prominent Newarkers are in
teresteds for SIC, 000.
Schweitzer was formerly eve of
that the club, by forcibly ejecting him
from its premises in April last, violated
an agreement entered into by Schweit-
ger and the club through Joseph M.
Byrne. on March Is, 1908, guaranteeing
Schweitzer the position of steward in
the club for three years, 1908, 1909 and
1910, providing he made necessary i'm
provements. 1t is said that there is a
split in the club over the matter, and
that several of the most prominent of
the members are behind the action
taken by S~chweitzer.
The trouble started last fall, when
the son of a prominent Newarker, while
IN a drunken rage at the club house,
used violent language. Schweitzer
threatened to eject him, Schweitzer
heard early in March that the club was
planning Ito get a new steward
Schweitzer hurried down and opened
the Halfway House and the club
house and forestalled any such action.
He then received a letter from the
club, telling him that his services were
no longer required. Still he stayed, on
the advice of his counsel, and waited
until he was elected.
In 1908 he claims hat he expended
somewhat over $4,000 in improvements.
and had considerably more coming to
him in the way of members dues, etc.
When Joseph M. Byrne returned from
his recent trip to Europe. Schweitzer
had a long conference with hirl. over
the matter, as Mr.. Byrne was the one
with whom Schweitzer first signed the
articles of his agreement. He was then
offered, Schweitzer claims, a certain
sum to drop the matter. He has now
81, 900 in his possession as a partial pay
ment, but is suing for more.
The members of the club claim that
the agreement did not go through the
different channels of Endorsement by the
board of governors, ETC., to make it
valid, and hat for that reason they
had the right to eject Schweitzer when
he did not please them. ~Schweitzer
claims that their letting him proceed
to spend his money on improvements,
etc, clinched the agreement.
