the shooting, having been informed
by letter that Roberts had been pay
ing attention to Mrs. Walker. He
says that he waited in Chattaroy
until after dark and then set out
for Williamson When he reached
his home he claims that he found
Roberts in the house and that the
circumstances were such that he
was impelled to shoot him.
After the shooting Roberts is said
to have gone to his room and armed

arrested, and will doubtless get a six
months sentence in jail. this being

midnight of Tuesday The bullet
from Walkers revolver struck Rob-

THE DEAD MINERS
WERE REBUR|ED
Roof Fell on Corpses in Cher
ry Mine Just as Searchers
Found Them

Cherry, ILL.,. Feb. 7.-Orders were
issued today by the managers of the
st. Paul mine to work at higher speed
to clear the mine of the 166 victims of
last November's fire that were still in
the underground workings. The
Italians miners are backward in the
work of discovering the miners as
they seem to have as great horror
of corpses as of an evil eye. Several
Italian miners have struck because it
was reported that the dead men were
about to be uncovered near them.
Every man who can find room to
WELD pick or. assist those who do
this is in the mine clearing the pass
age ways. 1t Is thought now that the
victims may be found almost any
place under the falls of rock. Yester-
day five bodies were seen at an un-
expected point, but as the workmen
were about to remove the corpses the
roof Of the passageway fell with a
crash on the dead men. 1t is uncer-
tain now when the mass will be re-
moved.

Washington. Feb. 7.-Fire, stolen

as a. blessing brought by him to
earth in the hollow reed after Zeus had
deprived mankind of 1t, levies upon
Americans each year an enormous tax
calculated by United States govern

a half dollars day and 1,449 lives
a year. AS result of an investiga-

United States geological survey it has
been ascertained that cheaper fire.
proof materials can be used to adj
vantage in construction, that three to
six times the necessary. amount of
material is habitually used in struc-
tural work in the United States, that
the building codes are laxly enforced,
that the fire loss in the United States
is eight times as much per capita as
in any country in Europe and that
the great fire waste in the United
States is due principally TO the pre-
dominance Of frame buildings and to
detective construction and equipment.

STRIKERS STAND
FOR SOLID UNION
Refuse Reservation of Com.
pany to Employ Anyone It
Saw Fit

Bethlehem, Pa, Feb. by a un-
animous vote the strikers at the
Bethlehem Steel works today decided
not to accept the overtures of. the
steel company which reserved the
right of the company to employ such
men as 1t may choose. The men later
organized local branch of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists.
Before this vote was taken the
strikers received an overture from
General Superintendent Anderson of
the machine shop and foundry grant
Ing the men the privilege of return
ing to work tomorrow morning and
stating that no extra work would be
required Of them hereafter unless
they desired to work overtime and
that their refusal to perform extra
duty would not be held against them
These conditions were satisfactory,
but the strikers desired President
Schwab's approval.
In the absence of Mr.. Schwab. Su-
perintendent Buck tcld the men that
the company reserved the right to EN-
ploy whoever they saw fit. He fur
ther said the men had lost their
chance of returning to work in body
because of the mass meeting they
held when the shops were shut down
on account of the Saturday half holi-
day. The strikers will make deter
mined effoffrt to extend the strike into
all the departments where machinists
are employed.

IN a binding snow storm as the
steamer crept along. the pilot missed
the entrance at Llimma bay and the
ship hit reef mile off the shore at
high water. When the tide receded
she was caught amidship on the rocks.
At noon the Farallon was on her
beam ends. The small boats wero
lowered, hut they were tossed about
by the cakes of ice. Blankets and
food were lowered to the boats. The
shore could be seen dimly through the
snow. 1t seemed for a time that b.

Boxes and barrels Of supplies form-

the frame and lacked two feet Of

the shelter, leaving an opening through
which the icy wind whistled. A fire
was made from drift wood dug out
of the ice and snow. There were no
lights. Water for soffee was had by

and frozen bread were taken without
removing the mittens and overcoats,

The Proposed Colonization of

President Madriz
ESTRADA BELIEVES INsURRECTloN
IS NEARLY At An EMO N0H
He Is Heartily In Favor of the Plan
Had Conference With Chief Little
BISON WHO Was the Forcrunner Of
the Tribe.

Boston, Feb. because President
Madriz Of Nicaragua feared that the
projected transportation of 5000
Sioux Indians from South Dakota to
Nicaragua was a ruse to give strength
to the insurgent army under General
Estrada, the plans of Chief Little
Bison Of the Sioux tribe have re-
ceived at least temporary setback.
Chief Little Bison, who went to Mic
aragua to prepare the way for the
going there of his brothers, arrived
today on the steamer Esparta from
Port Limon, Costa Rica, ACCOMPANIED
by Mrs. Little Bison. a white woman.
Little Bison said when he reached
Costa Rica. President Madriz was sus-
plcious of his intentions and appealed
to the Costa Rican government to
prevent the Indians entry into Mic
aragua. He managed, however, to
elude his watchers at Gaupilo about
thirty miles from the Nicaraguan
border and slipped into Bluefields
January q. There he had confer
ence with General Estrada. The in.
surgent leader was sanguine that the
'war would end favorably for the in
surgents within six weeks. He favor
ed the coming of the Indians.
Little Bison, with his wife, left last
night for New York for conference
with President Dellenbaugh of the
American Geographical society, after
which he will return to his people.

ORCHESTRA SAFE
Famous Pittsburg Organization on q
Financial Basis Now


Pittsburg, Feb. AFTER fifteen years
Of uncertain existence, the Pittsburg
orchestra, one of the five or six great
orchestras of the country, is to be
placed on a permanent basis with an
annual income of about $4,000.
On May 1 the orchestra will pass
from the control of the Art society
of Pittsburg under whose direction it
has been maintained, to a corpora
tion of citizens, who by subscription
will provide a permanent fund to in
sure the desired income. This fund
is to be raised By series of SUBJ
scription memberships to which any
one is eligible. Contributing member
ships are 500 a year; $4,000 buys a
life membership and 5000 makes one
a founder. This plan is similar to that
upon which the endowment of the Chi
cagO orchestra was accomplished.
Heretofore the Pittsburg orchestra
has been maintained by guarantors,
whose agreement had to be renewed
every three years, and at the end of
these periods there was always more
or less of hand to mouth struggle
for financial sustenance. The orches-
ira now has sixty-eight men, but it
will be increased another season to
ninety men. Conductor Emil Paur
will in all likelihood be asked to re-
tain his leadership

GAVE AWAY SHOES

New York, Feb. Tn the .days
when" S"Big Tim" Sullivan, stats SEN
ator and Tammany leader, was small
and down-at-the-heels with no thought
OF ever becoming political power,
his school teacher gave him a pair of
shoes. He never forgot the kindness
and for many years he has com
memorated it on the sixth day of each
February by distribution of stock
ings and sole leather to all the needy
of the Bowery. Five thousand pairs
of each were given away yesterday
at the club rooms of the Timothy D.
Sullivan association on that historic
thoroughfare.
The line stretched for blocks and
in it there were men of all ages and
all shades of name and fame. Short
Ribs Sam" and Kelley, the King of
the Keg Tappers" were there. The
Gentleman Panhandler," before re-
ceiving new pair. wore one russet
Oxford and one patent leather pump.
The line was sometimes broken be-
cause of the inability to tell what
number he wore: but in the main the
distribution went forward with a
speed that would have shamed the
most fluent salesman. 1t was bitter
cold and while those within were
served hot coffee was passed down
the line to those that waited without.
Not all could be remembered, for some
are spending the winter ON Black
wells island as guests of the city but
tickets have been furnished them and
they all will find shoes waiting for
them when they walk the Bowery

Which Side Won the Victory?
The legal aspect of the dismissal of
the slander suit Saturday was one of
the things which interested attorneys
this morning. Mr.. Walsh asserted that
the dismissal was victory for him
because the evidence could not get
to the hands of the other attorneys.
sJohn H. Atwood tcontended that the
failure to give up this evidence was a
victory, not for Walsh, but for him.
