DEAD NUMBER
THREE HUNDRED
Disastrous Coal Mine Ex-
plosion at Cherry,
Illinois
WORKINGS STILL ON FIRE
Rescue Parties Are Beaten
Back by Smoke and Goes
From Pit.

Cherry, H., Nov. 15.-Before night
! fall, its seems probable that the fate
of the three hundred men entombed
in the st. Paul mine, will be ascer-
tanned. This morning, the hosting
shaft, which was sealed up on Satur-
day night TO smother the fire in the
mine, was uncovered and a rescue and
exploring party consisting of James
Taylor, the state mine inspector, r.
Y. Williams of the United States
rescue station at UrDana and James
Hand and Henry Smith, miners, who
escaped on Saturday, were lowered
to the third level, where. if alive. the
entombed miners are awaiting rescue.
But neither miners nor officials think
there is a chance of the men below
being alive. Late last night the air
shaft, the only opening besides the
hosting shaft was heremtically seal
ed. All night, crowd Of anxious men
and women surrounded the opening of
the mine. The women complained
bitterly as the sealing of the shaft
seemed to cut off the air, but the mine
officials declared that the men if alive
Will not be affected except that it
would probably put an end to the fire
still smoldering in the timbers. In
the meantime hunger and want rising
like specters to haunt the families
OF the miners, and thousands of or
phans will soon be without food un-
less help comes. I'VE will need help
and plenty of it." said Mayor Con-
molly, "and it must come promptly
or there will be great suffering among
the destitute families of the miners,
and this town is too small to handle
the situation alone. Most our citizens
are miners and the majority cf them
are down in the mine, in..all proba-
bility dead
Members of the exploring party
found it impossible to penetrate more
than few feet from the shaft as the
mine is still OH fire Tney however,
We're able to see number of bodies,
and also discovered that the mine
caved in at several places. Officers
OF the local miners union today noti-
fled President Lewis of the Mine
W orkers Union that three hundred
and ten lives have been lost.
1t was planned to bring the bodies
OF the miners to the surface this after
noon. The task is difficult Search
ing parties provided wits oxygen hel.
NETS carried stretchers in to the mine,
but it is believed that the men in their
desperate fight for their lives crawed
to the farthest extremeties of the
mine. The pathetic evidence of this is
shown in the scattered CAPS, dinner
buckets and lanterns along the shafts,
which the men dropped as the fire
drove them further in.
Hundred Bodies Recovered.
More than a hundred bodies were
reported found in the st. Paul mine
this afternoon by a rescue party. Rel
atives cf victims and spectators
fought furiously to reach the scene
where the work of taking oat the
bodies began.
Another Break of Fire.
Another outbreak of fire in the mine
this afternoon prevented any efforts
to remove the bodies from the mine
The mine was quickly sealed again
thus practically ending all hope that
any will be rescued alive.

LIGHTED STREETS.

WAS A HOT DEBATE
HOWard's Resolution Was Fin.
ally Laid On Table.
Passed Ordinance to Protect
Passed Ordinance to Protect
the Trees.

At the meeting last night of the
city council that body was freely &C
cused by individual members of dis
cussing questions which. are 'ab-
surd'' and ''nonsensical." One of the
matters that came up which called
forth these accusations was the reso-
luton asking the electric light COM
mission to supply the price per kilo-
watt for which electricity could be
supplied by the city for commercial
purposes
The committee to which the resolu-
ton had been referred had recon-
mended that it be filed, but the ad-
vocates of the idea of furnishing day
power to private companies in order
to pay for the new city plant would
not let the matter drop without an
argument-and quite a hot one 1t
proved to be.
Councilman Stanley was first to
speak on the proposition. Il hope
that the recommendation of the COM
mittee will prevail said he. 1.-The
force at the plant is working hard
right now and I believe that we ought
to let the commission go ahead and
attend to the lighting of the CITY,"
Councilman Miller: This resolution
is simply asking for information and
there is no reason why we should
not have it. When we have the in
formation and we find that it is prac-
teal, we can go ahead and arrange to
furnish power.
Councilman Drew: ct think that
the whole thing is absurd. Let US
light our city,
Councilman Jordan: "I think later
on when the plant has been running
some time they can tell better what
rate could be profitably charged. The
plant is now not in proper shape. I
don't believe that there is anybody
there now to give us the information. -
Councilman Hughes: "Any engine
has got to have relief. You can't run
machinery both day and night. It is
impractical at present unless we have
more machinery We better light our
city streets first
Councilman Howard: 1.-The plant is
the same kind that big firms are run
ming both night and day for months

The Board of Education Chose
the Least.
Decided to Spend $4,000 for
Fire Escapes.
NO MONEY ON HAND
And 1t Is Too Late, Under Law,
to Make New Levy
But Board Will Advertise for
Bids for Escapes Anyway.

Whether or not members of the
municipal board of education are
standing upon the threshold of a
fragrant violation of the state law
and whether they will be compelled
to bias the Kansas statutes in their
efforts to do their duty is a question
that perplexes. The board is now at
a point where something must be
done, yet this same something serves
to place them in a position where to
act is to lay themselves liable for
violation of the statutes.
Under recent legislation of the state,
every school building in Topeka two
stories or more in height, not al
ready so provided, must have fire es-
capes which will aggregate an ap-
proximate cost of about $4,000. In
the annual budget no appropriations
were made for fire escapes and pay
ment cannot be made for the neces-
saries without an increase of the tax
levy which cannot be done according
to law
That was the enigma which con-
fronted the board at their regular
meeting held Monday night, and not
withstanding the fact that the school
oficials may be compelled to answer
a charge in the courts for so doing
they chose what was considered the
less of thetwo evils and decided to
get plans. specifications. and estimates
the erection of the fire escapes. Only
six months time is given by the fire
marshal in which to equip the school
buildings in conformity to his
specifications The eighteen un-
equipped buildings in the municipal
itv will require As fire escapes.
Cleared Up Old Debts.
According to a statement made by
a member of the finance committee
IN the last five years warrants
stamped UNPAID account of lack OF
funds have practically all been paid

WILL COST $3.50 PER TON.
State Let Coal Contract to Topeka
Firm for $4,000.

All OF the state charitable institu-
lions this coming year will be sup
piled with coal by a Topeka firm, the
Topeka Coal company. H. L. Pepp-
meyer, manager of the Topeka Coal
company secured the contract from
the state board of control his con-
tract being for mine run coal at $3.50
per ton at the mines.
Four different Kansas City firms
bid for the contract and after the
five bidders had drawn lots the COM
plete supply for the coming year was
awarded to H. L. Peppmeyer. It will
take about $4,000 worth of coal to
supply the state charitable institu-
lions this year.
In former years the state has
mined It's coal with the help of the
penitentiary prisoners. In this man
ner the penitentiary mine could be
relied upon to furnish the state the
year around. But since Oklahoma
has taken her prisoners back home
the state found it necessary to appro-
pirate $217.OO0 for the purpose of
buying coal from a private con- ern.

WILL PROTECT INDIAN GIRLS.
Judge Pollock Would End Homes for
Haskell Pupils.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 5.-Judge
John G. Pollock has decided that the
federal court must protect three In
dian girls who are wards of the gov
eminent. The question was raised
when Mrs. Ollie Burson of Lawrence
mother of the three girls, Rachel, 20
years old; Blanch, IS years old. and
Uneda, Is years old, applied to the
court for an order to compel H. b.
PEARS, superintendent of the Haskell
Institute to permit her to take them
from that institution. The father OF
the children was a fullblood Ute In
dian. The question of the mothers
ability to care for the children caused
Judge Pollock to order the three girls
to appear in court at Leavenworth
Monday.
These Indian children cannot be
turned out upon the streets with no
one to care for them or placed in
homes where they would not have
good surroundings" the Judge said.
LAS these children are wards of the
government this court has Jurisdiction
in matters concerning them and be-
fore I make any order will see them
and inquire more fully into the case"
