DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. IA ter
rible blizzard Is raging in this Sec
ton, and scores Of lives are reported
to have been lost on Lake Superior,
Il is estimated that more than so
have perished within the last 4S

day with 20 aboard. and it Is be-
lieved that the entire number were
drowned. The ship went down near
Grand Marrarais. In searching the
wreekage no bodies were found. and

sci. It is the worst storm in many
years. The blizzard is raging at the

SCHUBERT SYMPHONY
COMPANY PLEAsEs

Large Audience Enjoyed Musical Pro-
The Schubert Symphony Club and

pleasing entertainments at the
Methodist church last evening, under
the auspices Of the Ladies' Guild OF
st. Luke's Episcopal church, that
has been the pleasure OF a Occur
d'Alene audience to listen to in a
long time, and large number were
present. Every number on the pro-
gram was loudly applauded, and the
company responded freely to each
one, giving even a better selection
seemingly, than the one which
brought forth the applause.
1t would be a hard matter to say
which were the best numbers, as the
members Of the club were so evenly
balanced Thos. Valentine Purcell,
the yiolinist and business manager
of the organization, rendered two oil
the finest selections that could be de,
sired. and he demonstrated to the
audience that he was an artist OF far
more than ordinary ability; and an.
other especially pleasing feature
were the vocal solos by Miss Leets
Corder. the first soprano. The
symphony club selections were alsC
very good.

TROOPS CALLED
TO PREVENT RIOT
Trouble is Feared When Bodies
Are Brought to the Surface

CHERRY. H.. Nov. l7.--It Is
feared that there win be a miners
riot when the bodies, are brought to
the surface. and to prevent such two
militia companies arrived today and
at once surrounded the shaft The
miners are in an ugly mood and claim
that the company sacrificed the lives
in order to save property.
Sheriff skogIund OF Bureau coun-
ty with authority from States At
torney Eckhart. telegraphed 70
Springfield late today. asking Cover
nor Deneen to send several eompan-
les of state militia. II Is hoped BY
the presence OF a small guard TO pre-
vent any ill-adyised move on the part
of the miners. whose feelings have
been wrought up By the loss OF their
comrades.
When the bodies will be brought
to the surface Is doubtful. None Of
the officials believe any OF the 500
entombed men are alive.
The subterranean fires today were
more intense than when the men
were entrapped three days ago. and
no efforts could be made to enter the
mine
Fire Chief Koran Of Chicago ar
rived with a supply OF hose and
chemical fire extinguishers. The seal
over the mouth OF the shaft vas
perforated. and II was intended 10
force water and chemicals down
through pipes. A thermometer in
the sand on top OF the seal showed
temperature of 10 degrees. indi-
eating that the heat in the interior
Of the mine was intense.
Chief Horan shook his head. Its
no use" he said. Ito lift the lid to-
day would mean that the whole
mine would blaze mp and there would
be no possibility OF recovering even

take fire, the timber supports would
crumble and II Is terrible to picture
what would happen.

San Francisco, Sept. 9.-Professor
w. w. Campbell, director of the Lick
observatory, and Professor Albrech, Of
Lick, with Professor Alexander Nc
Adie, of the weather bureau, and Di-
rector Abbott, of the Smithsonian in
stitution, returned last night from an
expedition to the newly established
astronomical observatory on the sum-
nit of Mount Whitney, where they
had exceptional opportunities for OBJ
serving Mars.
They established the existence of
water vapor in sufficient quantities to
support life. They also took many
photographs at 14,501 feet above the
sea level, higher elevation than ever
before attempted by such an expedi-
tion. These photographs, it is expect
ed, will clear up many disputed points,
as the atmosphere was exceptionally
clear and Mars 80 near the horizon that
very sharp negatives were secured. OF
the expedition and its results Director
Campbell says:
II have been waiting since 1894 to
make a stuy of the spectrum of Mars
in order to determine whether water
vapor existed there in sufficient quanti-
ties to make life possible. The polar
caps I have always considered as evil
dence of such water vapor.

RAILROADS IN WAR.
New Schedules Being Arranged for
Pacific Coast Lines.

Chicago, Sept. 7.-When the Hill
lines announced five days ago that they
would lop ten hours off the fast est
time between Chicago and the North
Pacific coast points they inaugurated a
speed war that has now spread over
the entire transcontinental railway
map. In the Southwest territory, the
fight is on for the mail contracts, but
to get these, the roads must put on
faster and better trains. The Santa
Fe proposes to cut ten hours off its
time between Kansas City and Los
Angeles and its rivals are scurrying
in every direction and ordering their
experts to "string" new schedules, get
equipment in the topmost condition
and be ready to meet the time of the
Santa Fe.
The fight started when the Hill
lines apparently sought to forestall the
st. Paul road, which, with its Puget
sound extension, will soon be in posi-
tion to make trouble in regard to rates
and mail contracts.
Both of these moves took the COM
petitors of the Burlington by surprise
and caused no end of scurrying and
consultation.

Justices Harlan and Moody in Poor
Health and May Retire.
Washington, Sept. 10.-When the
Supreme court of the United States
convenes for the October term it is
probable that two of the chairs upon
the bench, those that have been occu-
pied by Justices Harlan and Moody,
will be vacant.
Justice Harlan is eligible for retire
ment, but until recently his health has
been exceptionally robust for one Of
his age. 1t is reported that she is
likely to go from his summer home at
Murray bay to California; recuper-
ate, and that unless a change of eli
mate restores his health he will retire.
Justice Moody, who recently suffered
a severe attack, does not recover, it is
stated.
Reports concerning the condition of
Justice Day are not reassurihg. Chief
Justice Fuller ID eligible for retirement.
President Taft will, it il believed,
have within short time the designa-
tion of at least one Supreme court JUS
tice.
Governor Hughes, of New York, and
Justice Lurton, of Tennessee, are
among the prominent lawyers mention
ed for the first vacancy.
