CHERRY, Ills, Nov. 20.-Deeds Of
the rarest heroism in the annals OF
mine horrors were performed by res
cuerS following the disaster in the mine
Of the ST. Paul Coal company at
Cherry, ILL.,, where 3S4 miners lost their
lives in a fire. The fire is believed to
have started by the igniting of a bale
of hay which was being lowered into
the shaft to feed the mules used to
draw coal from the pits. When smoke
began to pour out of the shaft a res
cuing party, equipped with mine he'll
NETS, was called for, and ten men were
lowered into the shaft Six times these
men were sent into the burning mine
and they succeeded in bringing 1856
miners to the surface. Many of these
were overcome by smoke or otherwise
injured, and the scenes about the
mouth of the shaft were horrifying in
the extreme. The seventh time the

LABOR LEADERS
 MUST PAY COSTS

Washington, January 26.-President Samuel Gompers, Vice President John Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, who were recently adjudged in con tempt of court and sentenced to terms of imprisonment in the District of Co., lumbia jail, were today ordered by Justice Wright of the district supreme court to pay the costs incurred in the proceedings, which resulted in the sen tence for contempt. The costs aggre- gate about $500.
 The labor leaders opposed the mo- tion of the Bucks Stove and Range company of St. Louis, Mo, that the costs be placed on them. claiming that most Of the matters concerning which proof was taken were admitted by their answers and, therefore the taking of testimony to substantiate these allega- tions was useless and the cost of such testimony should be pa,d by the com plainantJ.
 The co 7,plainants urged on the court that only portions of rne material al legations were admitted by Mir. Comp CTS and his associates and that these admitted facts were not sufficient to make out case of contempt. The complainants having been put to the necessity of proving the allegations and their proof having been accepted by the court, the burden of the cost they contended, should fall on the la bor leaders.

 Children of worthy parents should, as a rule, be kept with their par ents; homeless and neglected children, if normal, should be cared for in fam flies, when practicable; child caring in- stitutions should be on the cottage plan; states should inspect all agencies caring for dependent children; educa- ar n at dependent children should be super vised by state educational authorities; agencies caring for children should CO., operate to ascertain and control causes of dependency, a permanent organiza- ton for work along the line of this declaration is desirable; prohibitive leg islation against transfer of dependent children between states should be re- pealed; cooperation between child car ing agencies and more thorough pre- cautions for surgical and medical ca reer of children in all institutions.
 T shall send a special message to Congress-" said President Roosevelt at the subscription dinner in connection with the conference for dependent chill dren, recommending the establish ment of a federal children's bureau and a law for the District of Columbia and the federal territories, which shall apply the principles and methods you advocate in practical fashion.
 T want to explain to the ladies and gentlemen present" he continued, that when I have sent such message to Congress 1t does not do any good to write and ask me why it is not passed" He declared that he frequently receives such queries in regard to his mes sages
 T will send the message to Con- gress," he repeated and then you do your part to get it made into law. I will do all that in me lies to see that your great work as regards tn federal capital and federal government bears fruit"

SENATE CANNOT
 JET INFORMATION
Judiciary Committee Is Placed
 In Awkward Position
STEEL MERCER DISCUSSED
Investigation of Absorption of Tennes- see Company Is Halted Because the Senate Is Not Able to
 Question Roosevelt.

Washington. January 26.-That the sen- ate has no right to call upon President Roosevelt for information which he may have obtained from the United States Steel corporation when he countenanced that concerns absorption of the pennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company, is the opinion of the special committee on judiciary appointed to investigate the merger. The situation is proving de- cidedly embarrassing to the judiciary com mittee, but regardless of this fact, it has been decided to proceed with the in- quiry and report to the senate whether the President had authority to permit the merger.
 When the committee called upon Attor- ney General Bonaparte to appear before it at a recent meeting, a reply was re- ceived declining the invitation. This in- vitation was not made public. It is now known that MT. Bonaparte directed the committees attention to the act to es- tablish the department of commerce and labor and argued that it is bar to any demand for such information as the Pres ident may have acquired concerning the necessity for the absorption of the Ten nessee concern. Under that act the com- missioner of corporations is empowered to gather from corporations engaged in interstate commerce such data and infor- nation as will enable the President te make recommendations to congress foI regulation. This provision of law con- cludes as follows:
 And the information so obtained, or as much thereof as the President may direct, shall be made public"
 The data supplied to the President by Judge k. H. Gary and H. T. Prick as to the necessity for the merger, according to MT. Bonaparte, comes within this clause of the commerce and labor act. Without this information it is difficult for the committee to proceed.
 Although several meetings have been held the judiciary committee has not been able to decide upon any course of procedure which would not seem to threaten a quarrel with the President.
 There is a disposition on the part of a majority of the members of the commit tee to proceed with the inquiry, although no programme has been arranged.
 The suggestion has been made that all of the information required could be given by Messrs. Prick and Gary, but no de- cision to subpoena these men has been reached

BILIOUS PEOPLE
 TRY II FREE

Do not ignore the little disorders" of the system. The liver, for example, is a particularly needful little organ, but must be active to be of any use. When it is active it creates gastric juices that help to make digestion perfect, and then you are well. When 1t is not active it becomes what is known as torpid" and promptly pro duces biliousness
 There is no better cure for bilious ness or any of the symptoms of liver trouble than Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pep sin, the wonderful laxative tonic of which so much praise is heard. It is pleasant to take (unlike pills and powders and such things) and acts out griping, toning the stomach and arousing the liver to activity, thus scientifically curing such conditions as biliousness, torpid liver foul breath, headache, constipation. loss of appe- tite, indigestion. stomach nervousness. etc, all of which are due to slow liver.
 Mack Clark of Burlington, Ky suf- fered for five years from biliousness and cured himself with pr. Caldwell's S Syrup Pepsin. Noah D. Hatfield of Zal- mo Mo-, found it the best medicine in the world for his biliousness.
