NEW SCANDAL

NEW YORn, Dec. 16.-Sensa-
tional developments IN the sugar
scandal, following thick and fast
upon one another, were supplement-
ed today by rumors of other import
ant disclosures impending.
One of these relates to the report
ed finding of an indictment against
the man "higher up" in the councils
of the American Sugar Refining Co.
There is further report that the
officials probing into the under
weighing frauds through which the
government has been cheated out of
millions are about prepared to give
out disclosure that will fix the re-
sponsibility in higher quarters than
have yet been publicly considered
even in rumOr.
Arguments were heard today in
the trial of six employees of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining, who are ac-
cused of conspiring to defraud and it
is expected the case will go to the
jury tomorrow.

DIDN'T WAIT ON NEVIN.
Council Hurried to Adjournment and
Franchise Went Over to
Wednesday.

The city council will not pass upon
the application for franchise
through the city for the Ely Goldfield
railroad until the next regular ses-
sion on Wednesday night. The mat
ter was to have been acted upon at
an adjourned session last night, but
the absence of Councilman Nevin af-
forded excuse for putting it over un-
til the next regular session.
When he learned of the course
taken, Mr.. Nevin explained that he
did not arrive in town until late in
the evening and that ne was ignorant
of the fact that the adjourned meet
ing was called for the special purpose
of having him in attendance. He ex-
planned that after he had his supper,
he learned of the session of the
council and it's purpose, and imme-
diately telephoned to the city hall,
but found that the meeting had ad-
journed.

been giving the poor fellow every
possible attention at the county hos

afraid that they will.
Finley started for Cherry Creek
originally from Elko, where he had
been working for some months, and
he was out on the road four days in
all. Strangely enough, this was his
second experience of similar kind on
a long walk in winter weather. On
the previous occasion he had one of
his feet badly frozen. Evidently, he
gained nothing from the experience.
but the early part of his trip was un-
eventful, and it was on what he
thought was to be his asst day out
toward Ely that he met with torture
from the snow and cold from the
effects of which, physically, he has
not by any means recovered. He Is
resting as easily as possible in the
circumstances.

BELIEVED TO BE MORE
UNDER THE SOUTHERN
WRECK-TWO FATALLY
HURT IN HOSPITAL.

GREENSBORO, Dec. 16.-The
wreck of the Southern Railroad train
at Reedy Fork creek yesterday re-
suited in the death of twelve per-
sons. The list will probably be in
creased by the death of one or more
of the injured and the finding of
other bodies in the wreck.
Robert r. Russell, the former edit
or of New York, lies in the hospital
here seriously injured. The cor
oner's jury decided today that the
wreck was caused by defective
cross-tie.
The identified dead are:
Q. +. CONN, superintendent of the
Richmond and Danvllle division of
the Southern railway, Richmond.
H. @. WHITE, travelling auditor,
Washington, d. C.
ISAAC DAMNlELS, porter on the

as is also that of Gardick and Basta,
the men who were injured by the ex-
plosions at McGill on Wednesday.
With operations TO perform on
these latter two men yesterday and
attention to give Henry Foley, the
man found near frozen Wednesday
afternoon, DR.. e. L. r. Wallace, chief
surgeon, had busy and hard day
of it.. Last night he was hopeful that
all of his patients would recover, but
said that in the case of Gardick and
Basta there was still room for doubt.
One of Basta's eyes will probably be
saved. Gardick had one eye remov-
ed yesterday and will probably lose
the other. He is the man who was
hurt by the explosion Of dynamite

for it's consideration. Representa-
time Mann, author of the bill, ex-
plained it's provisions, after which
general debate began.
The abolition of the Isthmian
Canal commission and the central
ization of authority for the construc-
tion of the canal and the government
of the canal zone under the president
and attorney general were opposed.
It was contended that congress had
no power to delegate judicial author
ity to the president. The section of
the bill relative to the judicial pow
er on the zone, which, as amended
by the committee, offers more power
in one circuit court and such in
ferior courts as the president may
constitute, also was objected to.
Representative Sterling (Illinois) en-

it would be taken up again soon after

STATE AUDITOR LICON OUT
WITH IMPORTANT FINDINGS
MADE ON INSPECTION OF
COUNTY BOOKS-PRAISE
FOR THE ASSESSOR AND
CLERK.

State Auditor Ligon has submitted
to District Attorney Reeves report
for the last six months, ending Oc-
tober 80, showing the receipts and
disbursements and condition of the
county offices of White Pine county.
In commenting on the offices, Ligon
says:
''The conditions found to exist,
excepting comment regarding the
clerks Office, were indeed very satis-
factory. Great improvement is
shown along many lines since my
visit last May. The manner of ac-
counting has been given much
thought, adding much to the efficiency
of the departments of the auditor
and the treasurer. The showing
made by the assessor is very fiatter-
ing. White Pine County heads the
list of the counties in the matter of
increased assessed valuation; also in
the matter of poll tax collected by
the assessor. Great is White Pine
county and greater will she be-
The report shows the total amount
collected in the clerks office for fees
to be 1,523.97, and in commenting
upon this Office, Mr.. Ligon remarks
that he very much regrets to state
the condition found to exist there is
far from what he would like to see it.
He states that the register of actions
and fee books are of such form as
would confuse the most careful and
competent man. Until the clerks
Office is provided with more up-to-
date books, Mr.. Ligon says, the eff
forts of the county clerk will be USE
less. He then pays County Clerk
Oldfield compliment for his hard
and earnest work under existing
conditions. He asks that the coun-
ty commissioners give the matter of
proper equipment and record books
of the clerks Office their attention.
The total receipts in the county re-
corder's office amounted to 49,
1850, while the total amount col
lected by the sheriff's Office was ST.
1868, with an additional sum of
$1,000 for sheep licenses.
The assessors Office, according to
the report, collected taxes as follows:
Personal property tax, $2,895.87;
poll tax, $12,342; bullion tax, $780,
$500, making total of $35, 5,826.17.
The increase on the total valuation
of property in this county was ST.
100000, being over 100000 more
than the increase in any other coun-
ty in the state, says the report. To
the Office of the assessor, says Mr.
Ligon, beolngs the distinction of hav-
ing collected more uhxn twice the
amount in poll taxes than was col
lected by any other assessor in the
state.
The county treasurer received the
total amount of $95,963.o9, having
on hand on May first $78,283.68.
The total disbursements were $685.
O83.46, leaving a balance on Novem-
Der first of $49,164.11. The i'm
proved condition existing throughout
the county departments is very no.
ticeable and commendable, says Mr..
Ligon in closing his report.

All Hope of Rescung Men Alive Has Been Abandoned
isSll On Fire and Gazing Giving Air Exhausted
e. and Chambers Filled With Gas and Smoke

orders fShaft Engineer Cowley. The
state officers here are taking a deep
interest in the inquest but through
their guarded statements it is appar-
ent they do not expect decision
which will blame any particular per-
son for the fire in the mine. The in
quest SO far concerns only the men
of the rescuing party who died Sat
urday, the only persons, in fact. who
are known to be dead. Therefore the
primal cause of the disaster has not
been entered into and the state Off
GERS so far have been more interested
in getting into the mine. rescuing the
miners or bringing out their bodies
and saving as much as possible of the
property. Governor Deneen at Spring.
field has been kept in constant touch
with the situation.
The officers of the local miners
union today notified President T. L..
Lewis of the Mine Workers Union
that 80 lives had been lost in the St.
Paul Coal company mine disaster.
President Lewis has advised the To-
cal union that $4,000 contribution
of the national body will Immediately
be placed at the disposal Of the
widows and orphans of the victims.
Representative of the owners of the
mine today declared that loss of life
will be 300.
The fan was started to clear the
mine of smoke and was operated in
reverse to draw the smoke from the
main shaft.
The experts discovered that the fire
is still burning in the mine. After
the fan was started the smoke began
to pour from the main shaft. The
mine inspectors and experts then be-
gan playing on the fire at the bottom
of the shaft with the hose. They
have ordered the air shaft closed to
shut off further circulation.
A pile of hay allowed to shoulder
too long finally ignited the tinbers of
the mine and before the workers real
ized their danger the mine was filled
with smoke. gases and flames and all
exit was impossible.

Believed the President Will
Recommend Plan for Quick
Action

Washington. Nov. 15.-Administra-
tion circles were in a state of sup
pressed agitation yesterday. and en-
gagged in much close scrutiny of those
shadows that are cast before impend-
ing events. 1t was felt that critical
stage had been reached in the rela-
tions between the department of the
interior and the forest service, and
what the adjudication of President
Taft would be was the subject of
anxious consideration. The publica-
ton of the Claws charges against
Secretary Ballinger undoubtedly has
made the issue Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot acute. evidence of which was
given in the story of great political
conspiracy. Circumstances all indi-
cate that crisis has been reached
and that a determined effort will be
made to eliminate the chief forester
from the administration.
Several conferences have been held
recently among the members of the
cabinet; that of Friday night being
the only one concerning which any
information was allowed to reach the
public. The proceedings of those con-
ferences can in large part be summed
up in the special dispatch sent to
New York with such tell-tale ear
marks of having been inspired. Be-
hind that alleged revelation. is the
serious charge that well-defined
movement is afoot throughout the
country, under the leadership of Unit
ed States Senator Robert NJ. La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, Francis J. Heney
of San Francisco and Clifford Pinch
OF. chief of the forest service, to dis
credit the Taft administration, and
pave the way for the reelection of
Theodore Roosevelt as president in
1913.
Pinchot Induced to Join.
The story ia that Messrs. LaFollet-
te and Heney seized the opportunity
offered in the rupture between Secre
tary Ballinger and Chief Forester
Pinchot to start their campaign
against the Taft administration, and
that Pinchot then was induced to join
in it.
Just how President Taft will look
on the situation of several of his
strongest right-hand men being in bit
ter attitude toward Pinchot is purely
conjectural, although the anti-Pinch-
otites gave the impression yesterday
that they expected drastic action, and
that favorable to their side of the con-
troversy. 1t was explained that the
presidential smile has worn off, SO
far as the attacks on Secretary Ballin-
ger are concerned. Yet. it is also
possible that the charms and concil-
iatory powers of a bustling good ma
tnre will again try to straighten
things out. and this uncertainty has
added to the excitement of the irate
cabineteers.
Secretary Ballinger announced yes.

Cherry. ILL.,. Nov. 14.-Hope has all
but been banished by the relatives of
the 300 or more men, now numbered
as victims in the greatest mine dis
'"ster in the history of Illinois. That
one man Of the hundreds entomb-
in the st. Paul company's mine
will be taken from 1t alive is practi-
cally the unanimous opinion of those
on the scene. Rescuers equipped
with oxygen helmets who entered the
mine today added to the horror by de-
claring that the mine was still on fire
and in many places was caving in.
The rescuers were unable to pene-
trate more than a few feet from the
mine shaft in the second vein. Equip
ment consisting Of most modern para
phernelia was used in the chambers,
all of which were choked with gas
and smoke. That every bit of life
giving air had been exhausted many
hours ago was declared certain.
Three descents were made but no
sign of life was seen and the rescuers
declared that no life could exist for
hundreds of feet beyond the shaft en-
trance. A few miners caps and lamps
were seen, tragic tokens of the first
mad rush for safety by the miners
who escaped, but no bodies were
found. This indicated to the rescuers
that when the miners realized they
were penned hopelessly in the pit
which there was no exit, they rushed
to the furthermost end of the vein
where some air might be found that
would keep them alive till help came.
This morning the state mining Of
ficials. who have taken charge of the
mine since the fire, raised the cover
of the hoisting shaft and lowered a
cage of rescuers to the third vein
where. II alive, the men now 400. feet
beneath the surface are waiting.
Late last night the airshaft. the only
opening besides the hoisting shaft,
was hermetically sealed with layers
of heavy planks and sand so that it is
practically air tight
While it is true that the air would
be shut off, by this plan the mining
