FARMERS GET POINTERS
Secretary of Agriculture Is Proud of

ment pointing out that the United States
government is spending in the neigh
borhood of $1s,0o0,oOO a year on ex-
perimental work in increasing the yield
and efficiency of the farms of the coun-
try. The statement was inspired by the
charge made by William c. Brown
president of the New York Central
lines, that the nation could better af
ford to invest the cost of one battle
ship in agricultural experiment work
than to expend it in the increase of the
navy. A battleship costs approxim
ately $9,000,OO0.

Former Mine Disasters.

No similar accident has been re-
corded in the history of mine disasters
in Illinois. The greatest loss of life
in any mine accident in this state oc-
Cured at Braidwood in 1879, when 80
men lost their lives. At Ziegler, ILL.,,
so men have been killed in successive
mine accidents. There are $4,000 men
employed in Illinois mines, and during
the last fiscal year 1913 have been killed
in accidents and 500 injured.
The greatest tragedy in mining his
tory is believed to have occurred in
Toxic, Japan, in 1907, when 470 per-
sons were killed.
The Maximum loss of life in a mine
disaster in the United States was re-
corded at Monanagh, w. Va, in 1907,
when 39s miners were killed.
AS Reported Monday.
Nearly 400 human beings, men and
boys, it is now believed, are dead or
perishing in the st. Paul mine, though
experts who succeeded in penetrating
the smoke-flled airshaft to the depth
of 800 feet, late today returned with
ray of hope for the grief-stricken rela-
tives of the entombed men.
That the fire has been extinguished
was the conclusion of mining experts
and inspectors sent by Governor De
neen to investigate the calamity. Fol
more than 80 hours the prisoners have
been cut off from fresh air. That life
could exist under such conditions il
doubted, but because no trace of higl
temperature was found in the depths
of the mine Sunday night, officers Of
the company hope that the victims may
have found safety in remote recessei
of the mine.

Cherry has population of about

from the little cottages to the mouth
of the mine, where wives, mothers and
children of the victims waited for the
news of the men buried under the
earth. Each time the cage came up
with survivors the women and children
rushed to the shaft and almost over
whelmed the occupants in their eager
ness to identify them.

New York Financiers to Partic-

100000 Loan.

LONDON, June 10.-The british bank
ing houses which are participating in
the tripartite loan of the financing of
the Hankow-Szechuen railway, in
China. in connection with which the
contract for a loan of $27, 500, 00c was
signed on Tune 6, by the representatives
of the British, French and German
groups, are interested in the news that
a powerful American syndicate pro-
poses to participate in this enterprise.
The American firms composing the
syndicate are Kuhn, Loeb & Co., J.. p.
Morgan & Co., the National City Bank
of New York and the First National
Bank. They base their claim for status
in this enterprise on assurances which
the Chinese government gave the Amer
lean minister in Pekin, in 1904-it is
understood, in writing-that American
and British capital would be invited to
finance this railway. If the Chinese were
unable to raise the money themselves,
and that British Ind American capt.
talists would have preference over those
of all other nationalities.
