point Of view is set forth in a message

and that is adequate protection for the
company's property and employees,
especially the strike breakers. The COM
pany today announced that all freight

ment and shows various points reopened
today, 10000 employees returning to their
places.
The attempts of Mckenzie King, min
lister of labor. to effect a settlement Of
the strike, have fallen through at least
for the present, the Grand Trunk man
agement taking the view that the time
for arbitration has passed, and all that
the company requires in order TO re-

the perfection for its men, which ii is
legally entitled TO.

AT OWN EXPENSE
Former Recorder Carried Case Against
s Himself to High Court.

Marion.-Of peculiar interest is the
case of former County Recorder John
A. Key, decided by the supreme court.
In 1908 a state examiner charged him
with drawing illegal fees amounting
to $4,000
Prosecutor John H. Clark brought
suit against Key to recover. Key
filed an answer and cross-petition and
asked judgment for s197 against the
county for general indexing and fur
nishing two records. He got Judgment
for that amount in common pleas court
and the circuit court affirmed the l0y-
er court.
The new prosecutor, Charles L. JUS
tice, refused to take the case to the
supreme court, and Attorney Clark
carried it up at his own expense, with
the result that Keys judgment is af-
firmed by that tribunal.

OVER 900 MINERS LOSE LIVES
Bolton, Eng.-Fire Prevents Res
cue of Entombed Men.

Bolton, Eng.-Only eight of more
than 300 miners escaped with their
lives in an explosion in the Lit
tie Hutton colliery of the Hutton Col
liery Co., which is located a short
distance outside this city. Seven men
and boy were taken out by the first
rescue party to descend into the pit,
but the fire that followed spread so
quickly that rescue of any of the main
force of men was impossible. The ex.
plosion occurred soon after the min
ers went below in the morning to be-
gin their days work. It's force was
terrific. No explanation is given for
the cause of the explosion, which com.
pletely wrecked the mine. This is the
second great mine disaster in Eng
land this year, 1856 lives having been
lost in an explosion in the yelling
ton colliery at Whitehaven, Cumber,
land on May 12.

TAINTED AFTER THE ORDEAL.
Sheriff's Wife Averts Jail Delivery b,
Quick Work.

Logan.-An attempt was made to
break into the county Jail here by a
thug, ostensibly to release prisoners
held for murder. A man raped at the
door of the jail residence rooms and
the sheriff's wife, Mrs. Williamson, an
swered the call. The man pushed her
aside and made rush for the iron
doors and to secure keys hanging
close by.
Mrs. Williamson won the race for
the keys, and snatched them from the
hook and rushed out the back door to
a neighboring printing office and gave
the alarm. The sheriff was absent
from the Jail and his wife was alone.
The brave woman tainted after the
ordeal, but saved the delivery by rare
presence of mind. Police We're called
and a search of the town instituted
but found no person answering her
description.

HOYEYSETS NEW RECORD
AVIATOR, IN WRIGHT BlPLANE,
FLIES 11,474 FEET IN AIR.
Scars in Wright Biplane In Teeth Of
Gale of Wind Blowing Thirty
Miles an Hour.

Los Angeles, Cal-Arch Hoxsey
of Pasadena, Cal, flying a Wright bi-
plane in the teeth of gale of wind
hour, established new worlds alti-
tude record by ascending 11,474 feet
above the surface of the earth. Sew
enty-seven thousand enthusiastic spec.
tators gathered at Dominguez field
witnessed the record breaking flight
of the southern California aviator and
when Hoxsey landed safely almost in
front of the grandstand at 3:15 o'clock
in the afternoon his Paragraph re-
moved from the machine and exam
ined and the announcement made that
he had broken the altitude record of
10,499 feet established by M. Lega-
neux at Pau, France, on December
10, pandemonium broke loose among
the spectators and mad rush was
made for the field to congratulate him.
Hoxsey's feat is without parallel in
the history of aviation. He went
into the air few minutes before one
fight. In a short time he was be-
yond the view of the spectators. He
was gone so long that the officials at
the field became alarmed and began
making inquiries and requesting the
nearby towns and beach resorts to be
on the lookout for the aviator. Short
ly before three o'clock spectator in
the grandstand discerned speck in
the air. Every eye was turned in the
direction indicated by the first man
to catch a glimpse of the birdman
high in the heavens, but it was sew
eral minutes before the majority of
the throng to distinguish the speck,
which gradually grew.
Slowly descending, Hoxsey made
several complete circles with his ma
chine pointed downward, before he
became plainly visible to the naked
eye. While on the side of the field
opposite the grandstand he made a
sensational glide of 1000 feet. The
multitude watching him thought he
had lost control of his machine and
held it's breath but when within about
500 feet from the ground the aviator
turned his plane upward and shot
into the air again. He turned his
machine completely around at the
pylon to the right of the grandstand
and descended. A crowd of aviators
machinists, officials and spectators
rushed forward to congratulate him
| The paragraph was taken from its
| position on the biplane and HoSsey
| stiffly climbed from the machine.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Just as the fire.
men had succeeded in getting un-

five-story brick building at 1114, 1116
and 1118 Bodine street, occupied by
B. Friedlander & Co., as leather fac
tory, one of the towering walls
toppled and fell, burying the firemen
who were working near 1t beneath a
mass of brick and plaster. The wall
which faces on Bodine street fell
shortly before II o'clock at night.
Two of the remaining walls collapsed
directly afterwards. Forty-four fire.
men were buried beneath blazing ruins.
Fourteen dead bodies have been re-
covered and % injured firemen res
cued. The men who were caught by
the falling walls are members of en-

Cured just as it appeared that the
firemen had succeeded in besting one
of the most stubborn fires with which
they have had to deal in long time.
The Friedlander factory extended
through from Bodine to Third street.
The fire was discovered shortly after
nine o'clock at night, and three
alarms were sent in one after another.
The firemen were at once con-
fronted with serious obstacle. With
two exceptions every fire plug in the
vicinity was frozen and out of CON-
mission. While work was begun to
thaw out the other plugs, lines of hose
were attached to the two that were
serviceable and two streams began to
play upon the flames. In an indescrib-
ably short time the entire front of the
factory was ablaze and, fed by the
contents of the buildings the flames
spread from story to story and finally
burst through the roof and shot half
hundred feet into the air. Benumbed
from the water that was blown back
upon them by the high wind and
caked them in ice as it fell the fire
men struggled stubbornly to conquer
the flames. With terrific roar the
! five-story mass crumbled like toy
house, carrying either death or injury

adjoining property.
