CHERRY MINE SEALED AGAIN.
Only Way to Quench Fire and Rescue
RndiAe

Bodies.
Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-After a confer-
erce between the entire state mining
board, Battalion Chief Mcdonald of
the Chicago fire department., and Of
ficials Of the ill fated mine where 50
many men lost their lives, the shafts
were sealed yesterday. This step was
taken as the only possible plan to
make certain the ultimate recovery Of
the bodies by extinquishing the fire. :
Battalion Chief Mcdonald, after an
inspection Of the work being accom-
plished by his men, who had been
throwing water in the east bottom Of
the mine for more than a week, ad-
vised the state mine inspectors and
the representatives of the coal COM
ra.ny that the water being thrown into
the mine was not reaching the fire, and
that he saw no use of throwing in any
more water, as 1t was merely filling
up the third vein.
Bodies of the known dead in that
vein already are inaccessible, owing to
the quantity of water already thrown
into the mine and to increase this
amount of water, Mcdonald said would
delay recovery Of bodies Indefinitely.
Mr.. Williams of the Urbana rescue
station, who had been keeping careful
note of the gas formed in the mine,
reported that the fire had extended to
the coal pillar and was forming dan
gerous gases and making it danger
Gus for rescuers to continue at work.

Champion Wrestler Finds zbysczko a

Buffalo, Nov. 26.-Stanislaw Zbyszko,

Gotch had contracted to pin the for

"A huge crowd filled the hall and the

they entered the ring and began their

jump thru the ropes and Gotch followed
soon after. They sized up in the ring
as two giants, one big giant and the
other a small one.

Gotch did not waste any time in go

man a worthy opponent and when after
half an hour on the mat he had failed
to secure a fall he put on extra steam
in an effort to turn the trick.
He went after Zybszko, who played
on the defensive all the way. and never
gave the Pole moments rest. 1t was

PRESIDENT TAFT RETAINS SOLE
PRIVILEGE OF SELECTING
SUPREME JUDGES.
TELLS CABINET MEMBERS
HE'LL SELECT PLUM PIckERs
His Method Quite the Reverse of That
of Roosevelt, But the Correct One
Follows Precedent Set by President
Harrison, Whose Selections Were
Generally Commended.


Washington. Nov. 26.-There Is cne
striking difference between the meth
DDS of President Taft and those of his
predecessor, and 1t is In regard to ap-
pontment of members of the federal
bench
II shall consult with You gentlemen =
said President Taft at one of the first
meetings of his cabinet, about all
matters Of Importance to the adminis-
tration save one: tho appointments to
the federal bench. That shall attend
to alone, on my own responsibility"
The cabinet was more than willing.
and the presidents policy was generally
indorsed. His long service on the
bench was considered the badge of his
superior qualification to perform this
duty entirely alone.
The president did not intend to bar
himself from the privilege of con-
sultation with his cabinet members. II
he so desired: but he did make plain
that the responsibility and the author
ity would not be divided In anywise.
And in the matter OF the pending su-
preme bench appointment, it is said,
he has adhered strictly to this rule Ho
had not laid the matter before the cab
met. and 1t Is not known that thus far
he had discussed 1t with any member
of the cabinet. The fact that he had
asked no counsel or advice has added
strength to the impression, now enter
tanned as frankly inside as outside .he
cabinet that Judge Horace N Lurton
of Nashville is to be named for the
place.
Beyond this, the understanding Is
that the president has waiting list
for supreme bench appointments. long
enough. at least, to I'LL all the vacan-
cies that are likely to arise during his
administration. Indeed. people closest
to the president suspect that the pres
ident knows exactly who he would ap-
point. and In what order, If there
should be four or 1--WE vacancies. II is
believed by many that Attorney Gen.

on the list, and Lloyd w. Bowers, so

Davenport, Nov 26.-1n quarrel in
which three men were the participants
and which occurred in Blue Grass,
William Sprague, a farm hand who has
been living in that village for the past
few months, was seriously, if not fatal
~ stabbed by William Wainscott. Two
wounds were inflicted with a heavy
knife, one slashing an ugly cut over
the victims right ear and extending al
most to the neck. The other, the more
serious of the two, was thrust in the
back, to the right of the spinal column
and which is thought to have partially
severed the spinal cord. AS a result
of the affray Sprague is now at Mercy
hospital, where his chances of recovery
are reported as not being of the best
and Wainscott is now a fugitive from
justice, with authorities of this por-
tion of the state searching for him.
