to orders OF his superior may have
caused the death OF the rescuing par
ty which went down into the st. Paul
mine yesterday. At the coroner's
inquest, which began yesterday, Cow
ley, who Is engineer of the main
shaft, testified that he declined to
accede to the demands of persons
standing at the top Of his shaft that
he at once lift the cage containing
the rescuers. The reason he declin-
ed, he said was because he had been
told by the third vein boss, Alexan-
der Nosberg, to move the cage only
In answer to the regular bell code.
When the rescue party had been
at the bottom of the shaft some time
without getting into communication
by the usual means. Martin Powers,

latter a brother of one of the res
cue party. rushed to Cowley, SO the
engineer testified.

They demanded that the cage be
raised Immediately. Cowley refused
for perhaps 10 minutes. Cowley said
he would not listen to their frantic
appeals but finally referred the mat

John Chadester entered Cowley ask
ed Chadester what should be done.

Chalester. according to Cowley's tes-
timony. Nobody is alive down
there"
CONVEY then brought the cage to
the top, but the men in the rescue
party were either dead or dying when
they reached the top.
Convey defended himself on the
stand by saying he had received nc
order not to await the bell signal
before moving the cage and that the
three men who demanded that the
cage be raised had no authority tt
tell him what to do.
According to Cowley. he feared II

GETTING Rid Of Rats.

The depredations of the rat, the
worst mammalian pest known to man,
result in losses turnout the world
amounting to millions Of dollars annu-
ally. These losses, great as they are,
are OF less Importance than the fact
that the rats carry from house to house
and from seaport to seaport the germs
of the dreaded plague. Popular Me-
chanics for October in an illustrated
article discusses the situation from
several points of view and offers sug-
gestions for a war against the rodents.
1t says:
The futility of past efforts and the
lack of permanent results indicate that
the real cure for the rat evil in cities,
especially seaports. lies in preventive
rather than curative methods. The
ed the rats struggle for existence Is TO
be explained largely by the abundance
OF food and shelter furnished by man.
Preventive measures should be directed
to withholding these advantages. The
curtailment of food is less important in
its effect on the present rat population
than in its certain result In lessenfng
production. Abundance of food means
many young in litter and many lit
tiers in a year; a restricted supply
means fewer young and fewer litters.
The most important steps. therefore,
toward the suppression of the rat are:
The enactment and strict enforcem emit
of municipal ordinances providing FOR
the disposal of garbage and the protec-
ton of food supplies. and the rat-proof
construction Of dwellings and other
buildings.

THE NEW "EMIGRANT,"

The other day as a canvas covered
wagon, fitted with a feedbox at the
back, drawn by a team which showed
signs Of travel, and followed by three
or four other horses some one
said 'there goes an emigrant wagon"
The man who said it was past 10, or
ne wouldn't have used the term. and
ne was wrong. II wasn't an 'emigrant'
wagon and an emigrant but that wan

Forty, thirty, even twenty. years ago
the "emigrant wagon was an institu-
ton. Today the 'ternigrant wagon
runs on e steel track. Instead of a

THE REACTION IN FAVOR OF pEcEscy

The Philadelphia Press finds what it
is pleased TO term a reaction" against
the nasty novel and the putrd play.
The new fiction lacks the exemplars
of complete nastiness and it is noted
that new plays and operas TO be of
fered Philadelphia are on better level.
The indecent play is not so much in
evidence.
However further west the reaction
is not so notable. Plays that are putrid
with a vile realism are on the boards
and draw mixed audiences to fill the
playhouses. A list of plays offered to
the rheater goers of the country west
Of the Appalachians is largely a replica
Of New York successes" and we all
know what goes TO success in New
York.
Perhaps the reaction will work out.
1t has begun in Philadelphia where at
least some clean plays and decent
books are likely to attract general at
tention and approval. And while we
are considering the matter it is per
haps we'll to remember that unless a
nasty novel We're a best seller and a
putrid play box Office delight there
would be none OF either. Back of it all
is the demand and we are responsible
for the demand. Whenever the pub
lie taste demands cleanliness we shall
