WILL FINISH DOUBLE TRACK
Construction Crews to Begin
Early Work Bur-
IinEton.

CRESTON, Ia, Feb. 6.-(Special)-
Twenty construction crews on the Burlng-
ton road have been ordered out on the
Creston division for the opening of spring
work and II the weather continues favor
able no delay will be encountered in keep
ing the work going. One of the big
pieces OF work is to be the completion Of
double tracking between Red Oak and
Balfour which section is the only stretch
between Chicago and Pacific Junction
lacking double tracks, and it is expected
the entire system will operate with double
tracks just as soon as the work can be ac-
complshed. The first of the twnty crews
ordered out went down the south branch
yesterday and will be employed in bridge
building near Conway for some time
large number OF new bridges are to be
built the coming season, repfacing the
wooden bridges with the latest type of
steel and cement construction. 1t is be-
lieved the present year will exceed the
last one even. in the many new improve
ments on the system, and the employees are
correspondingly happy over the prospect
OF plenty of work.

Says Lewis
Miners Leader Insists that Higher
Wages and Safety Appliances
Mean Advance in Cost.

TOLEDO, O., Feb. GA substantial in
crease of wages of the mine workers of
this country is the only basis upon which
industrial peace can best be established
in the mining industry, on and after April
1. next.
This was the final declaration of Presi-
dent Thomas L. Lewis, of the United
States mine workers, before he left to-
night He would not discuss his plans for
bringing about an agreement with the
operators. but made it evident that he had
not given up hope of a settlement.
Talk that special national convention
of miners would be called or q referendum
vote taken to readjust the situation was
given considerable credence, but this Pres
ident Lewis said, was speculation. -...
Mine owners recognize that mine work.
ers are entitled to an advance in wages,
and that also they will have to provide
additional safety appliances" he said.
This means added cost of production and
the American people and the coal con-
Stunning interests, willingly or otherwise
will be compelled to pay higher price for

The day developed nothing to change
apparently the situation resulting from the
deadlock conference of miners and oper-
ators last night. OF the contesting forces
only twenty members of the international
executive board remained here today. They
left tonight after an all day session.
1t was announced that only organization
matters were considered and that the wage

Members OF Crew Lost.

SEWARD. Alaska, Feb. 6-The Alaska

lleved to have perished In an attempt to
obtain relief for the passengers. The pas
sengers and other members OF the crew ar
rived here yesterday aboard the steamer
Victoria by which they were rescued Feb
ruary g. after passing nearly a month en-
camped in weather frequently forty de-
grees below zero.
The Farralon ran to It's doom on January
5, during a snowstorm. II struck solidly
and It was soon realized there was no
hope Tor It. The tide was rising and soon
the vessel was listing badly. There was no
sea, however, and the passengers and
crew managed to take to the boats with
out great difficulty. It also was possible
to get supplies and some heavy clothing
and bedding ashore, and the castaways
went into camp under comfortable condi-
tions.
On January the second mate, Guss
Swanson and five sailors started in a small
boat for Kodiak, where they expected to
connect with one of the other vessels of
the Alaska Steamship company Since
then these men have not been heard from.

ELEVEN MINERS SUFFOCATED
Explosion Occurs in Colliery Near
Indiana, Pa.
ONE MAN MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Evades NOxiOus Gases by
Crawling Quarter of MiIe-ThOu-
sand Men I'm Adjoining Mine
Hear Conclusion.

INDIANA, Pa, Feb. 6.--Ten Hungarians
and one American met death in a gas ex-
plosion yesterday in the No, 2 stope of the
Ernest mine OF the Jefferson and Clear
field Coal company, five miles north Of
this place. The explosion occurred IN a
heading where twelve ,workmen were To-
Gated and one of these, Andrew Krazcer
escaped by crawling a quarter ofoa mile
to evade the noxious gases. His inability
to speak English prevented a lucid1explana-
ton of the cause of the explosion. tnWhen
he saw the lights of the rescuers,he moaned
and tried to crawl. He suffered chiefly
from the effects of after damp. The, posi-
tion of the bodies showed the men had
made desperate efforts to crawl away from
the heading.
How Krazcer escaped cannot be learned.
The only Ineligible signs he makes are Of
crawling. When he RECEIVERS from fright
and exhaustion 1t is thought he may be
able to tell of the accident
One hundred and ten men, working In
the same stope escaped through other head
ings of the mine although they were held
back for about ten hours by the black
damp until a rescue party reached them.
One thousand other men working in ad-
joining mines within a radius Of three
miles. who heard the concusslon paid no
heed TO it.
The rescue party of twelve mine bosses
went into the mine about $3.50 this morning,
shortly after the accident and when they
came out about s o'clock they brought with
them the dead bodies and announced that
there was no one else in the mine. The
bodies, blackened by flames. were immed-
lately sent to the homes of the unfortunates
and the funeral will be held tomorrow.
The inquest will be held Monday.
Michael Harrington, the only American
among the dead was a son of John Har-
rington. foreman of the mine. The younger
man, acting as assistant to his father, was
directing the work on the heading when
the explosion occurred.

days. Admitting the truth of these facts
certainly does not prove the decline of the
club movement, but rather that 1t Is settling
down to be a definite recognized force. an
accepted institution. The novelty Of women
doing aggressive public work is wearing
off and what would have been counted
spectacular ten or even five years ago is
passed today as matter of course.
Furthermore, there is no longer the neces-
slty for women doing spectacular things
that there was a few years ago; their
agitation has had it's effect, as illustrated
in the conference of governors They have
established for themselves recognized
place in the public life of the land and
their council accompllshes today what
could only have been done by aggressive
action few years ago. More and more
the club of today is settling down to study
and in the doing and the studying of these
great problems they have come to realize
the necessity of intelligent equipment and
they are fitting themselves for advisory
work, and also, It cannot be denied, for
the time when they shall be privileged to

Women have been charged with being
superficial. and hysterical: of allowing
themselves to be guided by sentiment in
stead ObrlOsic. In turn they have retorted
that the world is sadly in need of more
sentiment and have bent their energies to
the development of the Juvenile court to
prove the feasibility of the theory.
Certainly those who are in touch cannot
say that the club movement is on the
decline, but even II it. were, it has ac-
complished work that must grow into
a splendid substitute. The womans club
is changing certainly. 1t has been a school
for the woman of mature years, 1t has
trained her through the elementary stages
and each year is graduating its members
equipped to carry on the larger work.
Among these club graduates are many
specialists but while all may not be that

DEBATE ON CENTRAL BAEk
Vreeland and Shaw Discuss Issue
Before New York Club.
IOWA MAN HAS NEGATIVE
lie Says Special Interests would
Control ~ and that Any Party
Proposing IL would BE
Defeated.

NEW YoRs, Feb. 6-Edward B. vree-
Land, chairman OF the congressional com
mlttee on banking and currency, and
Leslie NJ. Shaw, former secretary OF the
treasury, had a heated debate on the sub
ject of a United States bank.
Mr. Shaw, speaking at the Republican
club, opposed a central bank, saying that
It would be impossible TO keep the con-
troll of such a bank out of the hands OF
those who control the Standard Oil COM
pany and United States Steel corporation.
OF the two he preferred Morgan control.
Special interests" continued Mr.. Shaw,
ARE in control of financial conditions now
and / admit 1t. 1t is an irresponsible con-
troll. They are accountable to nobody for
It. We cannot escape Capitalization You
have 1t today in the bank belonging to
these groups and interests. Nevertheless,
these groups and interests cannot provide
the ways and means to avoid panics or
avoid them when they do arise. Central
banks work well in Europe, but they would
not work well here under our dual form
of government-federal and state. 1 assert
that the political party that puts the con-
troll OF any centralized commercial finan-
cial power like a central bank into the
hands Of any group Of men in New York
will never again carry an election. The
country will not tolerate it."
Mr.. Shaw believes the remedy for pres
ent financial ills must lie in an improve
ment on existing currency and banking
laws and not in central bank.
Chairman Vreeland approved a central
bank and the impression was obtained
that the report on currency and banking
would contain a recommendation favoring
such an institution. He insisted that IL
such a bank were established safeguards
would be placed about 1t sufficient to
make 1t impossible for any group OF finan-
ciers or politicians to exercise any control
over the business.
Referring to Mr.. Shaw's remark that he
preferred Morgan control, il control must
come, Mr.. Vreeland said:
I'VE should not have much to gain IL
either group were in control, but we could
not be worse off than we are now"

he was Costi after looking at his stock
ings. which were like those worn by hund-
reds OF miners. They discarded the watch,

rowed them AS no one claimed the body

There was no funeral except a short prayer
in the mule stable.
