DIED ON MOUNTAIN
Skeleton OF Woman Found ON
Mount Tamalpais.
Had Evidently Been Beaten to
Death.
SKULL WAS CRUSHED.
Dress Had Been Costly and
Fashionable.
No Marks of Identification Are
Found.

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-Evidence of a
shocking murder on the slopes of
Mount Tamalpais was discovered yes
terday by Coroner Sawyer of Marion
county. The skeleton of an unknown
woman, which was seen a few days ago
by two San Francisco men, was found
by the coroner lying in the brush which
cover the steep side Of the mountain.
Apparently the skeleton was that of
a young woman who had been beaten
to death while fighting for her life. The
face and front of the skull had been
crushed with a 20 pound stone which
was lying nearby.
The woman was handsomely dressed
and a gold watch and bracelet were
found near the skeleton. The hair of
the skull is a glossy blonde and the
teeth are perfect.
No marks of identification can be
found on any of the clothing, some of
which bears San Francisco trade

The police here have no record of the
disappearance of any one answering the
description of the dead woman.

FOUR ARE INDICTED.
In Connection With Chicago's ''Shale
Rock Scandal.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Four true bills.
charging city hall officials with cons
spiracy in connection with the $45,000
"Shale rock scandal were returned by
the county grand jury today. The men
indicted were:
John Ericsson, city engineer.
Michea1 H. McGovern, contractor.
Paul Redieske, former deputy COM
missioner of public works.
Ralph A. Bonnell. former assistant
city engineer.
All the above with the exception of
Ericsson were indicted short time ago
in connection with an alleged attempt
to defraud the city of about $250,000 in
the building Of section NJ of the
Lawrence avenue sewer.
The shale rock scandal also unearth-
ed fraud in the construction of "Sec. d.
of the same sewer. The city paid the
McGovern company more than $45, ,000
for the removal of a large quantity of
socalled "shale rock Upon examina :
ton by experts it was stated that the
"shale rock" was nothing more than
hard clay and offered little obstruc-
ton.
McGovern was the contractor in
charge of the construction and the man
who was paid for the removal of the
rock" Bonnell certified that it was
rock and Ericsson approved Bonnells S
decision. Redieske then put his stamp
of approval on the work and the city
paid the money.
Late in the day second indictments
were returned against McGovern, Bon
nell, Redieske and the eight others
who were indicted last week.

share of attention in attempting to
estimate the position. The political
situation, especially the relation of
corporations TO the law. furnishes a
theme for constant discussion in the
stock market.
The efforts Of the banks to clear out

by pools, was an evident factor in the
market. The failure of the bond house

SAVING OF $4,000.
Benefits of the School Land Law Are
Apparent.

The material benefits to the state
from the enactment of the school land
law of 1909 are very apparent. There
has been complete reports received in
the state auditors office from some
thing like thirty-five counties to date,
and a comparison of the fees allowed
in connection with school land sales
for the six months ending Dec. 1. 1909,
with the six months period ending Dec.
81, 1907, based on the counties already
in, shows that the actual saving to the
state for the year will not be less than
$4,000.
The records in the state auditors
office show that years ago thousands
upon thousands of dollars were al
lowed from the school fund for ex-
penses in connection with the sale of
the land. BY a persistent course of
hammering on the part of the state
auditors for some years past, the al
lowance of fees was greatly reduced,
but until the enactment of the law of
1909 the state auditor was seriously
handicapped by reason of the fact that
he was obliged to audit the accounts
after the money had been paid out in
stead of before. Under the old law
the county superintendent would draw
the orders for expenses in the sale Of
land and the county treasurer would
pay out the money on the orders. At
the close of the six months period the
county superintendent would forward
the report of orders drawn to the state
auditor. In many cases the state au-
ditor would strike from the reports
numerous items. but as the money had
already been paid out there was never

Ernest, Pa.

Indiana, Pa, Feb. 5.-An explosion
caused. it is reported by dynamite, tore
the timbers and bracing to pieces and
buried II men in the lower levels of
mine No 2, at Ernest, five miles north
of here today. Several men were
taken from the mine burned and in
jured. Rescue parties have as yet
failed to reach the entombed miners.
First reports said that one hundred
men were in the mine at the time of
the explosion. but it developed that but
dozen miners were below ground
when the explosion occurred. Wire
communication with the mine was lost
and details of the disaster did not
reach here until this afternoon. The
explosion occurred at o'clock this
morning.
W. G. Richards, national statistician
of the United Mine Workers, said to-
day that national convention of the
miners probably would be called to
meet before April 1. to reconsider the
instructions of the indianapolis con-
VentiOn.

Paris, Feb. 5.-The River Seine is to-
day more than 13 feet below its flood
maximum and the city has begun to as
sumo its normal appearance. The
streets are clear of water and the wreck
age left by the flood is rapidly disap-
pearing.
Above and below the city the waters
have returned to the riverbed and
householderS are busily engaged clean

vice in all directions is being restored
and some factories have resumed oper-
ations, thus decreasing the number of
the unemployed.
In many quarters the gas and cleo

MINERS WILL STRIKE.
In All But -Four States Unless Agree
ment Is Reached.

Toledo, o., Feb. 5.-President Lewis
of the United Mine Workers said to-
day there would be a general suspen-
sion of work in the bituminous fields
of the country, April 1, if agreements
on the wage scale are not reached by
that date.
This will not include Canada and
four western states, in which the pres
ent contracts do not expire April l,
according to Peter Patterson of Fer
ME, B. c., member of the internation-
al executive board of the United Mine
Workers.
This board met here today, Presi-
dent Lewis having notified the mem
bers when the wage conference ad-
journed last night in a deadlock over
the admission of the Illinois miners.
Mr.. Lewis said the situation in the
central competitive field would not be
considered and that no statement
would be given out after the meeting.
The situation as it now stands will
be taken up by me individually" he
said. THE four states excepted are
Colorado, Washington, Montana and
Wyoming. In these contracts don't
expire until September. In British
Columbia and Alberta the contracts
continue until April, 1911. Nova
Scotia is now involved in a strike.

WINGARD IS WILLING.
TeIegraphs Acceptance of Terms to
Coach WaShburn.

E. r. Wingard, assistant coach of
the Carlisle Indians last fall, has tel
egraphed the athletic management of
Washburn college that he will accept
the position of coach of Washburn
athletics. A letter is to follow the tel
egram and it is expected to arrive
early next week. At last a coach has
been found, it seems, that is worthy
of the confidence of the blue followers
and who can be secured for the bunch
of money Washburn can afford to in
vest in football instruction.
Wingard is expected to come west
soon and spring football practice will
be held at Washburn, according to
official dopesters. In the east spring
practice is to be held and Wingard
being an eastern man is expected to
bring eastern ideas to Washburn.
Vineyards work as assistant coach
of the Carlisle warriors last year is re-
garded as exceptionally good. Much of
the credit for the work of the team is
given him. He took the Louisiana uni
versity team and made winner of 1t
when prospects there were as dark as
they are at Washburn.
The announcement of the engagement
of the new coach was to have been
made at the banquet Monday night at
which the football boys and their
sweethearts will be guests. The infor-
nation was too good to keep, however,
and leaked out early today.

was impossible to get the reports rem
dered when due. and there have been
instances where the reports could not
be obtained from the county clerks for
years.
Under the law of 1909, the provi-
sions of which this department sug-
gested. it is the duty of the county
clerk to report by the 10th of January
and July of each year the payments
on sales and prior sales, and it is the
further duty of the county treasurer
to verify the reports of collections
which makes these officials strike a
balance of these funds before the re-
ports come in, thus saving endless
work in writing back and having the
county treasurers and county clerks
harmonic their reports and remit
tances, as was necessary under the old
law.
The law also carries a. penalty if
the county treasurer fails to remit by
the 10th of January and July of each
year all moneys so collected. less

SELLING DIRTY MILK.
Board of Health Taking Steps to Stop
Practice.

A state board Of health inspector has
filed information against the Fowler
Packing Co, and the Kerr Dairy Co.,
of Kansas City, Kan. The former is
charged with hauling meat about the
streets in an uncovered condition. The
latter is charged with selling dirty
milk.
Speaking today of the charge against
the dairy company, DR.. Crumbine said
that lately the department. had begun
to investigate the practice of selling
dirty milk. When a sediment of dirt
and manure gathers at the bottom of a
bottle of milk, the doctor believes that
it is time to call halt. A dealer in
milk has no license to sell fertilizer
Some expert figured it out not long
ago that the people in New York city
buy 500 tons of manure in their milk
every year DR.. Crumbine did not pre-
tend to verify these figures, but as over
a million gallons of milk is sold in
New York city every day. they did not
appear to him to be excessive.

at Depew's Patty
To the Fascinating Strains of
1.-THE Merry Widow
UNCLE JOE WAS THERE
And Joined the Merry ThrOng
of Dancers.
Affair Was i'm Honor of an Edi-

Washington, Feb. 5.-Dancing is a
diversion not usually popularity asso-
ciated with greatnessAeither of posi-
tion or of physical conformation-or
with the septuagesimal age. but the
need for a revision of the general view
was demonstrated at the reception
given by Senator Depew of New York
at his home in this city in honor of
the Republican Editorial association of
his state.
President Taft and Speaker Cannon
were among those who danced, there
by showing that one must not neces-
sarily be of less estate than presi-
dent, of less avoirdupois than whatever
that may be TO which Mr.. Taft con-
fesses, or of the tender years of a
debutant in order fully to enjoy the
delights of a waltz.
Mr.. Taft enlarged that gradually in
creasing circle of those who have had
the honor to dance with the president
by choosing for his partner Miss Pauld-
ing, niece of Senator Depew. To the
alluring strains of the Merry Widow
waltz" they fioated several times about
the room and later Mr.. Taft requested
and was granted a dance by Miss Nc
Arthur, a daughter of one Of the visit
ing newspaper men.
