HOPE ABANDONED
FOR 1883 MINERS
EXPLORATION INTO SECOND VEIN
SHOWS TUNNEL HAD
COLLAPSED.
ONE OF THE RESCUED sURvl-
voRs DIEs-sEARCH NOT
GIVEN UP.

Cherry, Ill, Nov. 24s-Hope that
some of the 1SS men known to be en-
tombed were still alive was practic-
ally abandoned yesterday.
Exploration into what is known as
the second vein, where it was thought
probably many miners had barricaded
themselves and subsisted on oats and
corn provided for the mules, showed
that a great portion of the tunnels
had collapsed. 1t is thought that
many men are buried under the debris
and if distractions are not soon
les may never be dug up. The fire
still is raging in these tunnels and
the back portions where the impris-
oned miners could have found a re-
treat was said to be full of black
damp.
what little hope we had was given
up when we penetrated to what is
called the overcast" said General
Manager Taylor. In that place pure
air would have been found if any
where, and the miners would have re-
treated there. We found that place
empty both of bodies and live men.
We detected no signal or any sign OF
life"
The death yesterday of one of the
survivors brought up Saturday re-
fol .E
80 lost to 10. Almost all Of the AZ
bodies taken out Monday were iden-
titled. Women who had been prostrat
ed for ten days we've called to make
certain, by recognizing pocket knife
or dinner pail, that their hopes had
gone.
Down below the rescuers met great
obstacles. In one instance fire broke
out of a tunnel temporarily cutting off
the escape of twenty-five men who
lad ventured 1000 feet from the hoist
ing shaft. The smell of smoke gave
warning above and the rescuers were
reached and brought to safety by an
other party.
Following telegram sent to the
governor by the executive board OF
the miners state organization, asking
the state to designate somebody to
take charge of the mine Mine In
spector Hector McAllister was placed
in charge. It was said that despite
the fire and the discouraging news of
the tunnels having fallen in, the res
cue work would be pushed night and
day.

ELECTRIC TRUST?
Records Gathered by Department o
Justice Indicate Combine,


Washington, Nov. 23.-The depart
ment of justice, in its investigation
of the so-called electric trust, has
gathered records which, to the minds
of the investigators, show that the
General Electric company and the
Westinghouse company have agreed
to end competition. 1t is searching
for documents that are expected to es-
tablish that the American Telephone
< Telegraph, which has just absorbed
the Western Union, was being made
party in interest along with the So
called electric street railway trust.
Through most of the evidence col
lected by the government runs a
story of attempted interference by
men high in the industrial and polit-
ical world, directed first against the
government probers, then Attorney
General Bonaparte, and finally Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Among those who, it is charged,
the government records show tried to
stop the inquiry were Charles F.
BROKER, republican national commit
teeman from Connecticut, and identi
fed with the General Electric COM
pany, and Herbert Noble, senior of
the New York law firm of Noble. Hub

STANDARD OIL NOT
AT ALL SCARED
WILL NOT LIoUIDATE sEcURi-
TIES BUT AWAITS SUPREME
COURT.
coMPANY,s SOLICITOR HAS A
PLAN TO AVOID OPERATION
or DECREE.

New York, Nov 24.-The Standard
Oil company announced yesterday
that it had no intention of seeking TO
procure the amendment of the Sher.
man antitrust law, but would proceed
with an appeal from the st. Paul de-
cision to the supreme court. Mortl-
mer F. Elliott, the company's gener-
al solicitor, after conference with
William G. Rockefeller and John D.
Archbold, said:
we will await the verdict of the
supreme court before we take any
steps toward reorganization or new
statement of the case to the public.
The court has the first rights
1T seems highly improbable to me
that there ever will be foreign hold
ing company organized. The COM
plexity of control exercised by sever
al states sets too many difficulties in
the way
Such comment on the case as
have seeu misses the fact that the
Standard Oil company is not hold
ing company pure and simple, as was
the Northern Securities company. For
instance, it owns outright, at Bay
onne, N. j., the largest refinery in the
world There is nothing in the de-
cree to prevent the company contin-
uing business, although / admit II
makes doing business more cumber.
some
Although the decree enjoins the
company from voting its share-hold
ings in subsidiary companies, or re
ceiving dividends from them, there is
no reason why individual holders
among whom such shares would be di.
vided under the decree, shouldn't
elect their own officers in the susid-
larry companies and receive their owl
dividends from them. A proxy sys-
tenn among our 5000 shareholders
certainly would be no more unman-
ageable than the same system used
by railroads and industrial compa-
MES with, say $4,000 shareholders.
in brief, there is no cause for the
market to fear a forced liquidation or
the securities which the Standard Oil
company now holds. / disagree with
the gentlemen who think such a re-
distribution necessary"

MEMPHIS EVANGELIST
AT Y. N. C. A. MEETING

Rev. q. A. Dunn, the Memphis evan
gelist. who has been conducting meet
inss at the Church Of Christ all week,
addressed the regular Sunday after
noon meeting of the NJ. c. A yester-
day afternoon at the Majestic Theatre.
using the life Of Joseph as an example
and urging the men to trust In God
as Joseph did, and to initiate his life.
Commencing, Rev. Mr., Dunn stated
that there was not a perfect man In
the world today. nor has there been q
perfect human being. perfect In the
sense of good and holy. In all the past
pages OF history. with the exception
of the Savior.
Continuing the speaker told the
story of. the life of Joseph. the dreamer,
the partial and chosen son of Jacob.
He portrayed In detail how he was
sold by his brothers to the Egyptiaus;
how he was cast into prison because he
would not sin; how he interpreted the
dreams of tho ruler, and how he be-
came a great man In the kingdom OF
the Egyptians. He said God was with
Joseph In Egypt because Joseph was
with God and that God did for him
Just what he would let Him do. so God
is doing for the people today just
what they are willing to let Him do
for them.
Concluding. Rev. Mr.. Dunn drew
three lessons from the life of Joseph.
First. be true to God; second, be clean,
chate, true and virtuous; and, third.
to have q kindly heart for those who
do harm to you. and he made strong
appeal to the men to initiate the life
of Joseph, and do their part and trust
In God.
