San Domingo, Nov. 22.-It seems

At the same time he volunteered the

there, but that it belonged to a Cub

Two HUNDRED MAY Yet BE
ALIVE in ST. PAUL mine

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-Two explor-
ing parties in the St. Paul mine ear
ly today found indications that led
them to believe a large number of
living men are in the last and most
distant workings. The searchers were
able to pass far into the galleries,
and their hope springs from the fact
that where they expected to find a
large number of dead, none were dis
covered. Nearly two hundred men are
still unaccounted for.
The tidings of this discovery were
relayed rapidly to those in waiting in
the chilling rain and snow about the
mine shaft and hope, which had re-
ceded to the lowest ebb, was again
revived There are number of Scotch
miners still in the mine and the faith
in their ability to take care of them
selves and their companions, is now
held by the mine officials as well as
by the relatives of those still miss
ing.
Rescuers coming to the surface at
noon reported live rats had been
discovered in a newly explored por-
tion of the mine. This increased the
hope that the men were still alive.

'T cannot see," he said, g that any

can do is to order the sale of the

of course, goes to the present stock

The large establishment of the
Florsheim Mercantile company at
Springer Colfax county, was broken
into Saturday night and wholesale
robbery took place. 1t seems that an
entrance was forced through the east
door Of the establishment-with crow
bar. The door was smashed to splint-
ers and showed it had been forced
open against great resistance.
The robbers are supposed to be men
in the employ of the railroad COM
pany, or men who have been in the
employ of some railroad, probably the
Santa Fe, as an old pair of overalls
was found in the store and when pick
ed up a Santa Fe switch key dropped
from one of the pockets. The person
wearing the overalls evidently chang
ed in hurry, as one pant leg was
turned inside out. The robbers got
away with three dozen pistols, raz-
ors, clothing and other miscellaneous
articles.
Yesterday morning an employee of
the Santa Fe company at Springer in
passing the section house there, no.
ticed that it had been broken into.
Upon further investigation it was dis
covered that crow bar. sledge ham,
mer and five spikes were missing.
The crow bar was found at the scene
of the Florsheim robbery, but the

missing. A great stir was caused by

ARREST OF BOY MAY Solve
HAT7ON MURDER MYSTERY

An arrest which may develop some
important revelations in the shocking
murder some weeks ago, of Miss Sal
ilie Hatton, daughter of well known
family at Los Tanos, Guadalupe coun-
ty, was made yesterday about noon
at La Liendre, eighteen miles south
of this city, when Mounted Policeman
A. A. Sena of this city arrested Seve-
riano Quintana, 17-year-old cowboy,
who is suspected of knowing some
thing about the case.
Officer Sena turned his prisoner
over to Sergeant w. 3. Dudley, of the
Mounted Police, who started at once
for Santa Rosa, overland, with the
prisoner, arriving there this morning.
Young Quintana was placed in jail
there, where he will be hald for exam
ination by District Attorney Wright.
The Optic got into communication
with Santa Rosa this afternoon over
the long distance telephone, and
learned that no excitement whatever
existed there, as a result of the arrest
of Quintana. In fact nothing out of
the lordinary occurred when the sus-
pect,l in charge Of Sergeant Dudley,
reached that town this morning. The
Optics correspondent at Santa Rosa
stated that Quintana had not been ar
rested on suspicion of being the act
tual murderer, but only because those
VINO are investigating the case, had
more or less evidence that he probably
knew something about the case

New York, Nov 22.-Conferences
between the officials and leading
counsel for the Standard Oil COM
pany were held here today to begin
the work of outlining the company's
course of action, following Saturdays
decision in the government suit to
have the company declared combina-
ton in restraint of trade. Vice-Presi-
dent John D. Archbold said today:
Il believe the decision will force
legislation toward repeal of the
Sherman antitrust act, for under that
law it is not only impossible for any
corporation to transact business, but
co-partnerships may also be attack
ed. / believe the officials at Washing
ton are coming to . view that ths
law is too active and even ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, himself, shares in
that opinion"
Effect Of Verdict
Mortimer F. Eliot, general counsel
for the Standard Oil company, said
in commenting for the first time on
the decision against the company
handed down Saturday by The United
States circuit at St. Paul:
II have seen what purports to be
the text of the decree handed down
by the United States circuit court
Saturday. The company will take an
Immediate appeal to the United States
supreme court and will cheerfully
abide by the verdict of the highest
court in the land, whatever that may
be.
Arguments in the case began last
April and we are glad to have reach
ed an opinion. / don't mean we are
pleased with the opinion itself, but
we are glad to get it whatever it's
nature.
"The decree does not order a dis
solution of the Standard Oil company;
that is a misunderstanding. What the
decree orders, as now understand it,
is that the company shall distribute
among it's stockholders of whom there
are approximately 5000, it's holdings

ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF DISTURBING PEACE

J. Foley, while laboring under the
influence of too much high life" )" was
taken into custody Saturday night and
today brought before Judge Murray
for hearing. He gave bond for his
appearance tomorrow morning.
An amusing incident in the course
of Foley's travels on Saturday night
was that he went to his room to re-
tire but before SO doing, thought he
would partake Of lunch and repaired
to the Meridian restaurant. Before
he could be served, however, he went
to sleep at the counter and was not
disturbed by the night clerk at the
restaurant.
When Foley awoke he was minus
a coat and accused the clerk of steal
ing it. He became much enraged and
the clerk called an officer and had
Foley taken into custody After Civ
ing bond Foley thought it best to re-
tire, so went back to his room again
and upon arriving there, found his
coat where he had left it lying on
the bed or more likely on the floor.
Foley's case will come up for hear
ing tomorrow before Justice of the
Peace D. r. Murray.
Eusabio Gallegos as a consequence
of having too much booze aboard Sat
urday night, also appeared before
Judge Murray this morning and in de-
fault of the usual "wherewith" to pay.
was handed the usual eight days on
