Rescuers in the Cherry Mine Make a
Remarkable Discovery.

Cherry, ILL.,, Feb. 1S.-Eleven bodies of
miners were recovered from the St.
Paul coal mine today. To the amaze
ment of veteran mine inspectors, the
bodies entombed since last November
l3 when brought to the surface were
found to be almost perfectly mummi-
fed.
The mummified condition was brought
about by bodies having during three
months been in part of the mine which
was dry and warm and the bodies going
through a slow process of drying up.
This is one of the most remarkable
full of wonders" declared an old mine
inspector. THE mummies are in such
good preservation that they might have
been taken out of the ancient tombs of
Egypt
Fighting through fire and the deadly
black damp which ever since the dis
aster has stood between them and the
165 or more bodies still entombed in
the mine the rescuers found the II
bodies in what is known as the second
level. They were about IT'S feet from
the main air shaft. The men instead
of retreating to remoter parts of the
mine, evidently had made a desperate
effort to escape when the fire broke
out and they were among the first to
die.

TO INVADE GRAND CANON
Somebody Wants to Build Scenic Rail-
way Along the Rim.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The principle
of opening the national park of the
United states to private enterprise is
involved in the consideration by the
house committee on public lands of a
bill for the construction of scenic
railway along the rim of the Grand
Canyon of ARIZONA.
The committee asked the secretary
of agriculture for the opinion in re-
gard to granting permission for the
construction of the roads and the rep
resentatives of the company seeking
the right presented their arguments in
its favor to the secretary. Mr.. Wilson
had already received in response to
his request a report from the forest
service and has taken the matter un-
der advisement He will probably give
his decision to the committee within a
few days.

THE PRICETO PACKERS
Made by That Road They Say Is
Too Low.
Their Object Is to Make 1t Do
All the Business.

Chicago. Feb. 1S.-The Record Herald
In a news article this morning says:
Railroads between the Missouri river
and Chicago. with the exception of the
Chicago & Alton, will increase the rates
on live stock, dressed meats and pack
ing house products from 20 to 235k cents
per 100 pounds.
The ire of the other roads was
aroused because the Alton was report
ed to have signed a contract with Kan
sas City packers to carry their products
at a rate of 1S1s cents per 100 pounds
between Kansas City and Chicago The
other roads assert that this rate is too
low to bring anything more than the
barest profit. The roads also say that
if the Alton puts the low rate into ef-
feet they will throw all the packing
business to the Alton and it will be so
choked with small profit freight, that

grade business

SEEKS FOR A MOTIVE.
Ballinger's Attorney Continues Cross
Examination of CLAWS.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Continuing his
cross-examination of Louis r. CLAWS.
at the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry today,
counsel for Secretary Ballinger drew
from the witness the fact that up to the
time Mr.. Ba1linger went out of office as
land commissioner in March, 1908, there
had been no evidence of fraud in the
Alaska coal cases presented to the de-
partment. The Cunningham Journal
which contained evidence of an alleged
agreement, CLAWS said had not been
found at that time. However the wit
ness declared Mr.. Rallinger, in his
opinion had not acted as a man would
il the property had been his own in
stead of the governments
AS to Mr.. Ballinger's participation in
the Wilson Coal company case, CLAWS
admitted he had no first hand know
ledge and, that he had testified merely
from hearsay.
Mr.. Vertrees questioned the witness
more closely than ever today, announc-
ing that he was endeavoring to discover
the motive of the witness as to whether
it was innocent or malicious. Attorney
Brandeis rather heatedly replied that
CLAWS had no other motive than to
tell the truth.
