Cherry, ILL.,. Nov. 1S.-Encourag ged by
lower temperature of the surface this
morning, decision was reached to
open the mine today and make an ef-
fort to recover the bodies of the en-
tombed victims. Explorers, under the
leadership of State Mine Inspector

noon.
AT noon all was in readiness for the
descent into the air shaft, and soldiers
surround the workings, with a big
crowd beyond the lines No demonstra-
tion occurred when the troops as
sembed.
Exploratory Trip Made.

both of the government geological sur
vey descended the ventilating shaft of
the st. Paul mine last night ana dis
covered that the fire had moved back
from the main shaft
Williams descended to the second
gallery where the fire started. The
shaft was comparatively cool There
was considerable steam, but much
less smoke than Sunday, Buckets in
which they descended were largo
enough only to stand on and the effort
of carrying the oxygen apparatus on
their backs at the Same time wore the
, men out.
A safety lamp. however, was extin-
Guished at o hundred feet. The risk
Ing of more lives was argued against

| ing miners that desperate chance
be taken toward reaching the i'm
prisoned bodies prevailed and Morris
and Williams descended. Signals were
made by an auto horn. After the
trip Morris declared, "We must have
a bucket big enough to sit on the rim,
before we can do anything effective

Williams said: There was YER,
little smoke. much less than Sunday

letters to be mailed to their families In
case of death. They will make a des-

in the fatal second gallery
One body was discovered and the
odor of burnt flesh was noticeable
when the seal was off the shaft The
] body was brought to the juncture of
the gallery and the ventilattng shaft.
The most important discovery made
was that an attempt to enter the main
shaft, while hazardous, is still FEAST

Find Many Bodies.
In addition to one body dragged from

number of dead We're found in the gal

cARLlsLE's CONDITION. SERIOUS.
Generally Believed That Ex- Secretary
Can Not Recover, Altho No Chanue.

New York, Nov. 1S.-While It was
stated at the hospital today that Ex-
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle has
shown no change for the worse, it is
generally believed that his condition is
such that he may not recover. It is
stated that there has been a consulta-
ton between DR.. Joseph D. Bryant, who
was the late Grover Clevelands ply
sician, and eminent specialists over
Carlisle's case, but that little hope of
recovery for the distinguished patient
has been entertained.
Bryant, when asked today regarding
the report that Carlisle was dying, re-
piled that there was mo present foun-
dation' for that statement.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 1S.-The fore
going bit of interesting history was
placed IN evidence in the trial of John
r. Dobbins by the attorneys for the
defense, who secured an order from the
court that Postoffice Inspector j. C.
Swenson, in whose hands the docu-
lnent was, should produce it.
Banker Ballew reluctantly identified
his signature ito the betting contract.
remarking, by way Of apology that it
did not look as much like his sigma
ture as his signature usually looked.
The j. G. Gordon herein mentioned. is
known in the Mabray documents in the
hands of the federal officials as ]. G..
Maybray.
Banker Ballew. the complaining wit
ness in the case of the state against
Dobbins, has now been upon the wit
ness stand for nearly thirty hours, dur
ing more than half of which time he
has been under hot fire of the attor-
neys for the defense, submitting to a
gruelling cross examination which at
times disconnected the witness greatly.
The plain effort of the defense is to
make 1t appear that Ballew, despite his
denials, engaged in the fake horse race
with the idea of profting and not from
any philanthropic impulse or motive.
Several times Ballew has been led back
to the inception of the deal and made
to tell Of his expectations from the
race; a 10 per cent cut In the winnings
and the payment of a $500 note which
he held against Dobbins.
Ballew's confusion at times helped to
emphasize his answers to questions
Once the witness was asked to explain
the betting sheet. He said with evident
distress, Il can't explain it. 1 was a
good, deal hurried and while the betting
was going on they was a throwing
money down pretty fast and asking me
to count it, and-why-I can't explain
it." At another point the witness said.
you see. they had me all worked up
and I just throwed myself into their
hands. l didn't object either way"
One of the numerous colloquies be-
tween witness and attorneys for the
defense touching on Ballew's motive
In engaging in the race, follows:
If your horse won were you to get
. part of the $6S,000 which had been
bet?" That proposition was made to
me. don't know whether said yes or
no."
IF their horse did not win then were
you to share the loss?"
"There was nothing said about that
''Then did you go into the affair be-
cause you were sure their horse would
win?'
"No sir, would have come anyway
'Then I understand that you would
have come even if you had understood
that their horse would lose"
"Of course, if 1 had believed thai
there was any danger of their losing
wouldn't have come,
AT ore time the apparent efforts O
the defense to heap ridicule on the
head of the witness was resented by
the prosecution and at the request OF
Attorney General Byers, Attorne,
Tinley discontinued his addressing Bal
lew as Buck En- All Ballew," an ap-
pellation which it was claimed BalleW
went by at home owing to his pro-
clivities for silencing opposition tc
him commercially.
The defense dwelt at considerable
length upon the securing Of drafts 70,

CARS CRASH IN

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. g.
Two persons are injured, one
probably fatally, as result of
a street car collision last night
at Mission street and Cortland
avenue. Miss Pauline Wise, 16
years of age, who is not expect
ed to live, sustained fractured
skull and one foot was complete
ly severed in the crash, and Rob-
ert Vessel, aged 20 years, is in
a hospital with both legs broken.
The cars came together during
a heavy fog. One car was trav-
cling slowly up the steep grade
of Cortland avenue with heavy
load when the second car, run
ming light, came up rapidly from
behind. Before the motorman
saw the rear lights of the first
car it was too late to stop. The
force of the impact and the shrieks
of the injured threw the passen-
gers into a panic.

snow cuts the faces of the crew
and blinds the steersman, when
great ice cakes threaten to cave
in the sides of the boat-and
succeed; all the danger

smaller ones. Some of the boats
had gasoline engines, the rest de-
pended on their sails.
Sharp at midnight the boats be-
gin to gather the oysters for
1909. If they started an hour
earlier in the night, no one knows
the difference. The law says
midnight.
The tongers get months start
on the dredgers, by law. They
locate in the middle of the oyster
beds and go to work. The tongei
uses a long double rake, Joined
SO that the edges come together
at the bottom to form a basket.
The longer thrust his rake Oh
tongs down into the water till he
touches bottom. With all his
strength he forces the two han
dies of the tongers together,

raises the tongs to the surface,
and empties his catch on a Gull

small oysters, which must be
thrown back.
The dredgers work in much
the same way, except that they
use a windlass hoist, which four
men operate by hand. The men
keep at this hard, monotonous
toll from dawn till night again,
or until they have loaded their
boats. Then they hurry back to
Baltimore to the market.
The tongers' season is 237
days. On account of the weather
1t Is usually much shorter. They
earn from 1870 to $3.50 a sea-

to $40 a month.
