Only Way to Control Fire
At Cherry, Illinois.
Bodies Cannot Be Recovered,
Until Fire in Coal Is Subdued.
Third Vein, Where They Are, Is
Practically Full Of Water.

Cherry. ILL.,, Nov. 25.--Details of a
meeting held here early today between
the entire state mining board, Bat
TALON Chief Mcdonald of Chicago
fire department and w. w. Taylor,
general superintendent of the Chicago.
Milwaukee g. st. Paul Cos. mines,
were made known this afternoon.
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 week, an
nounced 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 it was merely
filing up the third vein. Bodies of the
known dead in that vein are already
inaccessible, owing to the quantity Of
water already thrown into the mine.
MIR Williams of the Urbana Rescue
station reported that the fire had ex-
tended to the coal pillar and was FORM
ing dangerous gases.
After considerable discussion it was
unanimously agreed by the meeting
that the only thing that would make
possible ultimate recovery Of the
bodies in the mine was to seal up both
the main shaft and the air shaft and
keep them sealed until the cutting Off
, of the air smothered the fire.
The shafts were thereupon sealed.

Good Idea Gained Of Needs
For Financial Legislation.
He Will Later Make a Visit to the
Pacific Coast and the South.

Washington. Nov. Ex-senator AID
rich was greatly impressed with his
visit to Western cities. He valued
highly the sentiment and suggestions
of the leading business men and bank
crS WhOme he met on the occasions of
his addresses. He gained an accurate
impression Of these needs of the West
in monetary legislation and felt he had
gained so much that later on he will
visit the Pacific coast and the South

tons existing in all parts OF the coun-

So said George NJ. Reynolds, prCsi-

addresses his attitude toward central

lieves such an institution, properly or

in Senator Aldrich's addresses, and the
reception afforded him, Mr.. Reynolds
said:
"The meetings which Senator Aldricl

the Patience before starting out or
his quest in the still prevailing heavy
northeast gale and rain expressed his
belief that the barges could not have

1t mad not entered the minds of
members of the commission to open

banks. 1t was proposed. he said, to
formulate legislation which would be
helpful to present institutions as well
as to general business.
"JTndoubtedly Senator Aldrich's adj
dresses made friends for his cause in
localities where previously little less
than hostility existed. He permitted
no criticism of whatever character to
ruGle him. but smiled at the sharp
things said of him and recognized he
must expect criticism until his plans
could be understood.
His sincere assertions however,
that no interest or no section of the
country was to be favored. and that
he expected to profit by the opinions of
Western people in whatever way they
came to him. We're accepted as vidnces
of Sincerity on his part. In consequence
ne made no enemies and received a
great many congratulations after his
talks from those who said they had
not previously understood his aims.
Senator Aldrich accomplished a great
deal at the informal dinners of leading
business men. where he was able to an

the commissions work than he felt in
clined to do on the platform. The men he
met were leaders in their respective COM
munities.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Stated with
the 'possum dinners and elaborate ban
quets he was forced to face in his re-
cent trip from coast to coast, President

Paris, May 27.-The decision of the
superior court on Count Boni de Cas-
tellane's appeal of the case brought
by him for the custody of HIS children
was handed down today and IL a par
tial victory for the count
It confirmed the decision OF the
lower court giving the mother the
custody of the children. but 1t set
forth that the father alone had the
right to choose their instructor and
designate the college In which they
are to be educated.
Furthermore Prince Helie de Sa-
gan is specifically excluded from the
list OF persons authorized to visit the
children, and the counts contention
that the influence of the prince Is
pernicious is thus. in effect, sustained.
The costs of the appeal are divided.
The decision emphasizes the right Of
the count to control the education of
the children: he may name the In
structor OF the youngest and pass up
on choice of an institution for the ed
ucation of the two eldest. II the pa
rents cannot agree upon a school for
these two boys within fortnight, they
are to be sent to the Lyces of Janson.
where only the mother, the grand
mother and George Gould may visit
them.
The decision sets forth also that

the PRINCE De Sagan, 1t Is not true
that the princess imposed upon her
children the Influence OF her new hus-
band 10 prejudice their affection for
their father"
