THE RECORD
 AT CHERRY 0t The Dead The Living And
 The Missing THERE IS YET 4 HOPE.
Strengthened By the Fact That Bodies Were Not Found Where Many Were Expected, Indicating That
 Refuge Had Been Sought

Cherry. Nov. 2O.-The situation to
 date is: Number trapped in the mine BIO; rescued alive. 20; bodies recover
 ed today. 42: bodies recovered pre-
 viously. 5s; unaccounted for. ls9
 Efforts to reach the men possibly still alive in the St. Paul mine were
 made in two. directions today. cast
 and west. In the latter section an
 attempt was made at the third. or
 bottom gallery. at the earnest request of Duncan Mcdonald. president of the United Mine Workers of Illinois,
 and nine other officials of the organ iZation.
 The gloom of the situation here was accenuated today by the weather
 Rain fell all night and in. the fore noon it turned to, snow. Almost no relatives of the missing were at the scene. Efforts to explore underground continued with unabated vigor Dozens of volunteers worked against the most exasperating odds to extend their explorations. Earth and coal were removed. only to be followed by another cave in.
 They're still alive down there" was the watchword of every worker. although evidence of this was meager. the first ray Of hope came when the men at work in the east workings broke through a fan of earth where it had been expected by experts that large number Of bodies would be found. Not one was discovered. In- stead. a tool closet was hewed out of the earth. great many mining i'm plements were found as they were laid down, apparently, when the men came there to eat. A fact regarded as significant was that not dinner pail remained From this it was argued that the men. unable to es- cape when the fire was discovered. re- treated to some extremity of the mine. carrying their food with them.
 The next ray of hope came with the discovery that the bottom most gall lery. west. was not sufficiently flooded to impede progress. IL was this sec tion of the mine that formed the sub ject of conference between union officials and Manager Taylor.

 The rescuers who carried up twenty three bodies today said there was evil dence that the man had walled them selves in for several days. but emerged to seek food and water and met death in the black damp At point be- yong where the scarchers had gone several declared they could sec the shattered blocking of the pocket where them believed the victims collapsed are scattered along the gallery for many yards The men who found tho mbelieved the victims collapsed from weakness ar asphyxiation before going fifty yards toward the en- trance. Some of the bodies were burned. and it is probable that of the twcnty-three not all had been in the pocket The existence of this refuge was denied by other members of the party

 State of Arizona

Globe. Nov. 22.-Following his re- mining district. Wir.am Jennings Bryan delivered an address. The Price of a Soul" at the Dreamland. in this city tonight. before d large audi ence This lecture was strictly nda- partisan and was followed by ban quet at which Mir. Bryan was the guest of honor. He talked straight from the shoulder on democratic themes. He reviewed the tariff and other matters Of the recent political campaign and assailed the proposed copper trust. which would. he claimed, work against the interests of the pro- ducers and the working man of the copper producing districts.
 ''I hope that this territory which has waited SO long will soon be re- warded with statehood" said Mir. Bryan in conclusion. and when state hood comes. that you will make your constitution fit your needs. Do not let the president of the United States threaten you, Let him not tell you he does not want a constitution like that of Oklahoma. It is much better that the constitution should fit the people of the state than the people outside.
 Tt is my earnest wish for your sake that the constitution of Arizona will be for its people and not for those citizens of ohio who are simply tenn porary residents here

MIDNIGHT DISCOVERY
Has Greatly ouiekened the Hope of
 Ire Rcscaers.

D Cherry. Nov. 2f.-An opening to the third vein, or the lowest level of the St. Paul mine. was forced just before midnight tonight The removal of bodies or the rescue of scores believed to be imprisoned in that vein will be- gin before daylight Tests made to- night showed the existence of air in the lower vein. Candles lowered into it on strings had the flame sucked away from the shaft. showing the presence of air current.
 Thousands of gallons of water have been poured into the gallery in the ef- fort to extinguish the fires. With air and water in abundance in the mine. hope for the rescue of those within is strong.

 The question was whether a young woman who believed that she was about to become a mother and who. after repeatedly asking her fiance' to marry her according to his promises, found herself cast off and rejected. would not become so wrought up as to lose her reason temporarily and in such a state of mind might shoot her lover

He was required a take an examination. and I will say hat he passed a very good one. as ar as remember"

Editor of the Herald:
The Brownsville boys are hard
hitters; that is what their manager
says about them They think they
will do up that Bay City bunch.
They are hard hitters all right but
they do not hit the ball. They had
rather do their hitting outside the
park. Now we win see what the boys
have to say after the Rice Eaters
hand them what they have in store.
Even in Brownsville the last trip,
in the first game we got II safe and
hard hits while the Brownsville boys
only got FIVE; still they won the game
to and the world knows they
cannot run the bases any better than
the Corpus boys.
| The Corpus boys are willing to adj
nit they were beaten in the second
game, but the third is the one that
they got it handed to them. Did the
boys here ever treat a visiting team
so they were sorry they had ever
scared any visiting player off the
grounds? l think it is safe to say
they never did do thing like that
The boys know they did not get
a good deal in Brownsville and none
of them are afraid to say so.
Did the manager of any Corpus
Christi team ever refuse to change
umpires in the second or the third
game if the visiting team asked for
a change? We will let the visiting
team pick his umpire or they may
bring one along with them and we do
not kick. We are easy to please. but
we know wrong from right and when
We cannot help it we kick.

get his ideas of Brownsville and her
people?
The Corpus Christi player, who
was scared so badly that he left the
uioAOHu III the luIlu game OI the
series, has evidently been scared
again, as he is not playing on the
Corpus team. We dare the Corpus
Christi Herald to print a signed
statement from either Wicks, Whit
ney Shannon of the Corpus team
complaining of their treatment when
in Brownsville.
The umpire in the Corpus Browns
vile series was the choice of the Cor
pus Christi management. It's rather
late to complain.
Brownsville takes off her hat to
Bay City. Her baseball team and the
rooters that accompanied them are
thorOughbreds. The team is com
posed of a fine body of young men.
Everyone of them proved himself
gentleman, while a visitor here. The
best evidence that they are the right
sort of people is the verdict of the
hotel man. He is loud in his praises
of their conduct OF their ability as
players there can be no dispute. They
are fine winners, but as losers they
are unexcelled. 1t is with regret we
told them goodbye, and We look for

Imitation may be a nuisance rather

The teller was asked by a woman
