Money for Work.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
Borah of Id<>io, who has been in the
west all summer and W. travelled for
a time With the senate committee on
irrigation during it's inspection at
many of the more important govern
ment irrigation projects, was a White
House visitor today.
1t is understood that the committee
has decided to recommend to con-
gress a bond issue of from 100000, 900
to s4OOOO,0OO for the immediate
completion of at least thirty-two ap-
proved projects the bonds to be paid
from time to time out of revenues re-
ceived from the sale of public lands.
Irrigation work is now paid for out
of these revenues but the income is
so slow that If the projects were car
ried forward only as the money comes
to hand many years would elapse be-

that it was only rats, however.
Would Follow the Rats.
1.-The significance of this is thai
dread black damp does not lie along
the floor of a great part of the mine
The men whom we are trying to reach
on the supposition that they are still
alive are practical miners and if they
heard rats they quickly got to that
part of the mine-'
An official of the mine declared that
if any more men are brought out alive
the work would have to be done within
"a hours, as the men must necessarily
be almost starved. Rats he said. would
be able to live longer because of their
ability to find crumbs and scraps of
food scattered about from the mems
lunches.
Reports that the work of attempting
to reach miners who still may be alive
was being retarded by q conflict of au-
thority between leaG%.e; of the coal
company forces and those of the stat,
of Illinois resulted in a serious confer
ence last night.
The delay in bringing out the dea I,
whose bodies were seen in the black
damp yesterday caused rumors of un-
due caution on the part of those upon
whom hundreds of women and children
depend for the rescue of members OF
their families. dead or alive.
Last night Captain F. w. Latimer OF
company c, Sixth regiment L. N g.
and Lieutenant G. P. Garrison brought
their pointed interrogations to w. w.
Taylor, manager of the mine. They
did not declare that work was being
delayed by factionaI strife, but did
state that if reports that work was be-
ing hampered by a conflict of authQ~ity ,
were true, Governor Deneen would be
asked to appoint a supreme authority
al the mine.
Manager Taylor assured the militia
officers that the only conflicts that had
occurred were of a technical nature and
that the course adopted was now gen
orally believed to be most promising of
rescue to any who still may be alive in
the mine.
The work of taking out 81 bodies
first seen by rescuers yesterday began
this afternoon. The carcasses of four
mules were first carried out to permit
the taking up of the bodies.
The bodies were found in an open
gallery and evidently the men had
died in the first rush to escape from
the mine.
Government Experts on Watch.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Word received
early today by officials of the United
States geological survey from Cherry
Ill.,, the scene of the mine disaster. is
that the fire in the mine is giving the
government experts much anxiety. They
are watching the situation closely in
order to protect the lives of the many
volunteer rescuers. The gases in the
mine are being analyzed constantly in
order that the reScuerS can be notified
Of impending dangers.
Certain mixtures of fire damp and
oxygen are almost instantly fatal and
the government experts are watching
for any approach to this condition.

treasury department when Secretary
MacYeagh reached his office and the

latest phases of the work. Mr.. Loeb s
characterization of his mission here was
a search for rest. Replying, to inquir-
les he said that so far as the house

over, but intimated that the surveillance
and closer watch over conditions there
would be kept up. He intimated that

be eventually recovered.

Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills Of
the style described in the bill of COM

quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver

tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself. from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
