ALL HOPE ABANDONED
Torty-Five Miners Vow Believed to BE
+ nond

Birmingham, Ala, April 21..--The
black damp is slowly disappearing
from the workings of the Muiga mines.
ana the rescuing crews are now ablc
TO stay underground from a haif-hour
70 torty-tive minutes at a time. one
negro body was brought to the sur
face at $3.50 O'clock this afternoon and
hye or siS others have been found that
were not brought out OF the mine
Mine Inspector Neil arrived about
noon to-day and descended into the
mine a 2.30 o'clock. When he return
ad; a1., ne made the statement that he
did not believe there was a live man
of the. forty five now known to be in
lhe mine All hope Is abandoned OF
reHcnins any one alive, since all of the
secohd second reseuing party which went
down at $50 p. NJ. were brought to
the surface unconscious from the ef-
fects OF the fire damp which has pene-
trated every crack and Granny of the
mine since the explosion.
An accurate list of the names of the
men entombed in the mine has not
learned who are shut in the horrible
tomb of death perhaps for day or
two.
Pathetic SCENES were witnessed
to-day. as the rescuing parties were
lowered time after time, only TO be
brought back TO tine surface uncon-
scious from the fire damp.
The mountain about the mine and
the hili across the valley were crowd
ed with spectators anxious to see the
most gruesome sight witnessed in Ala
bama for many years. Close about the
ropes which held the crowd back stood
mothers. sisters. daughters. sweet
hearts. fathers and sons of the dead
men below. BY o'clock this even
ing. 1t was estimated that at least
Z 900 souls crowded the hills with all
faces turned toward the one spot OF
intense interest-a little black hole In
the ground which marked the mouth
of shaft No. 2. out Of which it is now
supposed the bodies will be raised.
New rescuing parties are being lower
ed as exhausted ones are brought TO
the surface

New York, April 21.-The sudden adj

MOB MENACES PATTEN
Chicago Wheat King Has I'm
pleasant Time in England.

James A. Patten, king of the Chica-
go wheat pit, and heavy operator in
American cotton, was driven from the
Manchester, England cotton exchange
and was compelled to seek refuge in
business house TO save himself from
the wrath of British brokers.
Hoots and cat calls followed the exit
of the American speculator, who had
been in the cotton pit during the fore
noon and the danger of still further
violence was averted only when he
sought refuge in nearby shop.
Manchester is the principal cotton
market of England, and most of the
big cotton cloth mills are located here.
Public feeling against Patten has been
very high since the recent corner in
which he was credited with having in
creased the price of the raw material
to a figure beyond what it had been
since the Civil war
This feeling, shared by workmen of
the mills and brokers in the pit, was
responsible for the demonstration.
Mr.. Patten was indignant over the
attack on him and said that he could
conceive of no reason for the humilia-
tion to which he had been subjected.

MURPHY DEFINES
FOUNDATION BILL
Measure Passed on FavOrdbIy
by Senate Committee.

The bill to incorporate the Rookie
Teller Foundation was passed upon ia
vorably by the senate District of Co
lumbia committee at Washington
and will be reported out within few
days. This action was taken by the
committee after it had listened to a
speech by Starr J. Murphy, one of the
incorporates of the board, in refer
ence to Mr.. Rockefeller's plans and
purposes.
Mr.. Murphy was unable to enlighten
the committee as to the amount
which Mr.. Rockefeller ultimately viii.
place at the disposal of the trustees
of the foundation, but he expressed
the opinion based on Mr.. Rockefelier's
previous philanthropic work, that the
sum would be ample to enable the
foundation to carry on it's work in a
most satisfactory manner.
"The charities of the twentieth CEN
tury," said he, will not be the chart
ties of the twenty-first. 1t is impossible
to define the scope of the work pro-
posed by the donor, and it is his de
sire to avoid limitations"
There is more danger" said Mr..
Murphy, Gin giving unwisely than in
not giving at ALL The donor Of this
foundation always insists upon the
same investigation and care in his
work of philanthropy as he Gees n
making a business investment. lr
this instance he expects that his divl-
dends will not be in cash, but hopes
to get his returns in the shape Of
the welfare of humanity"
Mr.. Murphy called the district
committees attention to reported criti-
cism, credited to former President
Eliot of Harvard. Mr. Murphy admitted
correspondence that had passed be-
tween Eliot and Rockefeller Jr., in
which Eliot emphatically denied that
he had criticised the foundation or
having discussed for publication.
