dispatch, DR.. Louis, G. Robinovitch,
Young Russian worian who came here

least result in the saving or the lives
of many men who have received pre-
sumably fatal electric shocks. The
demonstration, which was private, was
given at the room Of officials or the
New York Edison company, VINO says
that each year a number OF men are
shocked to death In their power houses.
DR.. Robinovitch first applied an elec-

then applied an electric current OF four

of the rabbits spine. This rhythmic
excitation," In a few minutes resulted
In restoring the heart beats and In
twenty minutes the rabbit was bound

result was reported in the case OF the

In an opinion written by Judge
Walter l. Sanborn Of st. Paul and con-
CURED in by Judges Vandeventer, HOOK
and Adams, with special concurrlng
opinion by Judge Hook. the United
States circuit court for the eastern dis,
1a, - Cofn handed
down an opinion declaring the Stand
ard Oil company Of New Jersey an IL
legal combination operating in restraint
of trade and ordering its dissolution.
The opinion Of the court was filed SIM
ultaneously in st. Louis and In st.
Paul. In this decision the government
of the United States wins sweeping
victory and according to Frank G.
Kellogg of St. Paul, who was the gov
ernment's special prosecuting officer,
the government has won every point
for which 1t contended. The case will
be appealed direct to the United States
supreme court, as the judges who sign
ed this decree are in effect the judges
Of the United States circuit court or
appeals, although they were sitting for
the purpose Of trying this case as the
circuit court for the eastern district
of Missouri The decree Of the court
dissolving the Standard OIL trust be-
comes effective in thirty days, when no
purpose Of an appeal. When the decree
takes effect, unless stay Is granted,
an Injunction will issue restraining the
Standard Oil company from further
continuance Of it's business under its
present formation. 1t appears from the
concurring opinion written by Judge
Hook that the company can not do
business under any form while sitting
competition, for. he says, on this sub
ject 1t is thought that with the end or
the combination the monopoly will ma
turally disappear. but should it not do
so, and the members Of the combina-
ton retire from 1t except one who might
perpetuate the monopoly by the ag-
gresation Of the properties and instru-
mentalities, 1t would constitute a vio-
lation Of the decree Of the court.
of the $40 men who were entomb-
ed in the st. Paul mine at Cherry, ILL.,,
on Saturday, November 13, twenty
were found alive last Saturday, after
having been given up for dead one
week. The rescuing forces had made
almost superhuman efforts to get to
the buried miners; but were held back
by the fire and cave-ins. During the
week some thirty or forty bodies were
recovered; but all Of them were burned
and swelled and were beyond recogni-
ton. The hundreds Of neople, includ-
ing women and children on the ground
above have given up all hope. Having
gotten through the barricades of debris
and smoldering fire, in their search for
dead bodies, a party of rescuers on
Saturday ran upon a bunch Of twenty
miners, who had taken refuge in one
of the galleries, and thrown up a bar
ricade to protect themselves against
further encroachments Of the fire.
The men were gotten to the top in
safety. 1t developed that they were
all but exhausted. They had subsist-
ed at first on the remains Of their
lunch baskets and then upon bark, and
got water that seeped through the walls
of their barricade. They operated un-
der the leadership of one of their num-
Der, and held religious services twice
day. After the rescue Of these mi
ners, it was hoped that others would
be found alive; but later all hopes
were abandoned. A dispatch of Sun
day from Cherry, relates these pathetic
incidents Of the terrible imprisonment:
Letters written in their underground
prison by some of the miners rescued
alive yesterday came to light in vari-
Gus quarters today. One Of the most
touching was written by John Lorimer
to his wife, Sadie. Lorimer Is young
Scott from Ayrshire, whence he came
to America ten years ago. HE just
laughs and says he will go back to the
mine when he is WELL" said his wife
today, although I'd be willing, after
what has happened, to support him
myself If he would only get safer
work" AS was the case at the home
of each of the score of men rescued
alive yesterday, Lorimer today receiv-
ed in his bedroom many callers who
wished to congratulate him on his es-
cape. Lorimers letter follows: Dear
Wife:-I am still living, although 1t
