Canadian justice. The detective first
turned his attention TO Davidson's
wife. That lady was busily engaged
in making preparations to leave Cana

pared extradition papers and started
following Mrs. Davidson's route. He
left on November s and was joined in
Chicago by Mr.. Bartlett. an accountant
OF the Bank OF Hamilton, who knew
Davidson personally. and accompanied
Murray TO FL Paso. Texas, on the

friend. Manager Davis. OF the Wells

man furnished him with letters TO sew

being Supt. Comfort, OF the Mexicon
Central railroad. Murray called upon
Comfort at Ciudad Juarez He had al

name OF Graham, checking cars for the
railroad company. The superintendent
telegraphed TO Graham to come to
Ciudad Juarez. He also sent for the
mayor of the city. polite. suave Mexi-

Davidson taken into custody. The
mayor bowed magnifceQtly, smiled.

1t is a great mistake to let a cough
or cold run unchecked. Aside from the
unpleasantness and discomfort there is
q. real danger in the resulting irrita-
tion of the throat, lungs and bronchial
organs, which leaves them sore and
very susceptible to pneumonia ana
consumption.
1t is not our purpose to recommend
any particular brand of patent cough
medicine. A simple, inexpensive and
very effective remedy can easily be
prepared at home by mixing two
ounces of Glycerine and a half-ounce
of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure
with eight ounces of pure Whisky. This
formula is frequently prescribed and
is highly recommended by the Leach
Chemical Co. of Cincinnati, who pre-
pare the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure for dispensing through
druggists.
1t is claimed that a teaspoonful Of
this mixture four times a day will
break up a cold in twenty-four hours
and cure anV cough that is durable.

second lecture describing his recent
dash for the north pole in the Belasco
theater tonight before members of the
National Geographic society and theiI

He did not refer to DR.. Cook, al
though he insisted more than once
that his own discovery was rendered
possible only by knowledge gained
through twenty-three years of arctic
experience and in elaborate plans
made before the expedition left the
ship at Grants Land.
1t was only by almost phenomenal
luck, Peary declared, that the main
party was able to return to the ship
in the time it did, even though the
trail had been blazed and the way
prepared by the supporting parties
that had fallen back on their base

on his shoulders, staggered on until
he met one of the reseuers. Both the
miner and the boy reached the sur
face.
All the state mine inspectors from
the ten districts comprising the coal
fields arrived today. Thomas Hudson
of Galva, in whose district the III
fated mine is situated was the nrst
to arrive He was closely followed py
Hector McAllester of Streator, who
has many friends who were killed In
the disaster. Hudson and McAllester
joined in declaring the mine the most
modern in the state. They said the
officials and the superintendents had
Instituted and operated thorough
system of safety measures. When
questioned regarding the blame for
the fire, Hudson said:
From what l have learned 1 can
only say that relessness-criminal
carelessness-on the part of some men
working in the second vein level is
responsible.
Mine Well Equipped
"The mine was equipped with all
modern safety devices and was well
planned. l made a recent inspection
and found everything in the best of
shape. / found that all state regula-
tions were being obeyed. Officials and
managers apparently are not response
BILE for the tragedy. Blame rests di-
rectly upon the shoulders of the men
themselves"
When it was discovered there re-
mained a chance to rescue alive per-
haps a score of miners in the safety
row in the third vein, hurried arrange
ments for getting air currents into that
section of the mine were made. How
ard Hazen personally directed the
shipment from his Rockwell mine east
of La Sale of a large fan to replace
the one destroyed by fire. The fan
and equipment were loaded into
freight cars and taken fifteen miles to
Cherry in two hours.
The mine company and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad have
announced they will pay all funeral
expenses. In anticipation of a possible
rescue of badly burned and injured
men, six trained nurses arrived from
Chicago tonight. They brought with
them a large supply of drugs, bandages
and dressing for wounds.

JAMAICA RECEIVERS
NORMAL CONDITION
STORM DOES WORST DAMAGE
IN ISLANDS HISTORY
Banana Plantations Laid Waste,
Railroads Washed Out and Tele-
graphic Lines Out of commls-
slon-No Lives Lost

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov 14.-After
torrential rains lasting many days
normal weather conditions prevail, but
it is difficult to ascertain the extent of
damage done by one of the worst
storms in Jamaica's history.
Practically all telegraph lines are
down and railroads have been badly
washed out.
While the entire eastern portion of
the island was swept by winds and
rains, no earth shocks occurred and
damage to crops and property resulted
largely from floods.
Reports from St. Mary, an important
banana center, state that within a
radius of ten miles Of Port Maria
banana fields were entirely laid waste.
The town Of Annette Bay for a time
was three feet under water. Grave
fears were entertained for several
days regarding the safety Of inhabi-
tants of that section, but the floods ara
now subsiding.
So far as can be learned no lives
were lost.
The cables and Colon and Bermuda
are still out of commission and at
tempts made by the coastal steamer
Arna to carry cable dispatches to Hol-
land Bay Wednesday night failed,
heavy gales compelling the vessel 20
return The Arna started yesterday on
another attempt.
Kingston did not suffer to any great
extent from the hurricane, which de-
veloped 100 miles to the westward and
which had lost much of it's fury by
the time ii reached here. The northern
side of the island suffered severely,
and engineers estimate it will be ten
days before railroad communication is
re-established. Sources of the King
ston water supply are cut off, and the
military authorities are assisting the
local engineering staff in the construc-
ton of temporary conduits.

MAKING GOOD ROADS
IN VENTURA COUNTY
WORK TAKEN IN HANDS OF
THE PEOPLE
BY Special Districts and Long Time
Bond Issues, Residents Have Been
Enabled to Form System of
Excellent Highways

VENTURA, Nov. 14.-In no county
in the state has the good roads move
ment made more rapid progress than
in Ventura. In this county syste-
matte manner of road improvement
has been adopted, under which the
construction of roads is taken directly
into the hands Of the people them
selves, with the result that among au-
toists and people who use the ROADS
most. the fame of Ventura county is
going abroad very widely. The Ven
tura plan is for the citizens of any
certain section to petition the board OF
Supervisors of the county to set aside
that entire section as special ROAD
district The people then form a COM
mittee to consult an engineer as to
the cost of paving all the main roads
within such special district, and bona
issue is voted, with long term bonds,
the bonds chargeable on the real prop
erty in the district.
With low interest the payment of
the bonds is made by a very slight
special assessment on the property
and the good paved roads in one dis
trict connect up with those in another,
making a system that within a few
years will extend all over the county.
Good roads cost less to keep up than
poor ones, so that the maintenance
charges are greatly l6SSeHeu uHueI LhlS
system. and the road taxes are lighter.
The towns of the county have the
spirit of good roads also, and move
ahead in line with the outside dis
tricts The town of Ventura, the coun-
tv seat, has spent more than 100000
in street paving work in the past year,
paving twelve miles of streets, and
paying cash for every mile of the paw
ing. This work was done under bond
issue too and with the bond payment
provided for, taxes are lower this
year than last.
The Ventura street paving is just
now being completed, and the first Of
December the people of the town are
getting ready to hold a jubilee cele-
bratlon in honor of the completion of
the work. The whole county Is going
to take part in the celebration, which
is recognized as a movement in the
good roads interest.
There will be four days of fun. There
will be auto races on the good roads;
an airship is being arranged for and
there will be a great free lima bean
feast. Ventura is the home of the
lima bean, and at the jubilee bean
feast that succulent vegetable will be
served in everything, from soup to
