Roosevelt is Hearing all About Amer
lean Political Situation From
His Old Friend
Pinchot
ACCEPTS STATEMENTS
Has Agreed to Deliver an Address at
Conservation League Meet
ing After He Arrives
Home.

PORTO MAURIZIO, April 12-Col
Roosevelt today accepted an invitation
personally delivered by Clifford Pin
chot whom President Taft removed
as chief forester of the U. S., to ad-
dress meeting of the National Con-
servat1on League. The acceptance of
this invitation puts the first real
light into the nature of the confiden-
tial interviews which were begun
yesterday between the ex-president
and Pinchot and were enthusiastical-
ly renewed today.
Both Roosevelt and Pinchot retain
their sphynx like attitude regarding
ton but in view of today's develop
ments, this subject is no longer baff-
ling the correspondents.
One of Roosevelt's pet reforms was
the conservation movement. Pinchot
was his right hand man. Pinchot and

TRYING TO PICK
BREWERS SUCCESSOR
Governor Hughes of New York is
Being Strongly Talked for Place
on Supreme Bench.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE SUI
preme court of the United States,
from it's dignified position. has flip
ped pebble into the pool of poll
tics. This is the opinion expressed
by many in the decision of the court
in the Standard Oil suit OF a neces-
sity this postpones the final termin-
alton of the cases until after the
elections of next November
The administration had banked on
securing a favorable decision in it's
own biggest trust busting attempt.
The republican campaign managers
were holding the presses on their lit
erature awaiting a chance to put in
to print that paragraph I'VE point
with pride to the successful campaign
against monopolies carried on by this
administration.
Because of the divided condition of
the court on these trust cases. the
action of President Taft in naming a
new justice will be watched with in
tarest. The following is the list
from which President Taft is at
tempting to pick member of the
supreme court to succeed the late
Justice Brewer:
Governor Hughes of New York,
Judge Vandeventer of Wyoming,
Lloyd Bower, Judges Hitchcock. An.
drew Tompkins and Crane of the New
York supreme court. The first two
seem to be the favorites.

Thirty-one More Have Been Taken
From the Depths of the III Fated
Shaft After Five
Months
LIVED BUT ONE DAY
Message Written in Chalk on Rude
Fan Told of all Being Alive on
the Afternoon of
Nov. IA.

CHERRY, ILL.,, April 12.-"All alive,
p. M, November H."
This, the latest message from the
fatal st. Paul coal mine, was brought
to light with the recovery of thirty-one
more miners bodies which had been
entombed since the disaster Of last
November 13.
The bodies were taken from the low
er level, 800 feet below the ground.
The men had retreated to space
twenty feet square and constructed
rude fan of boards to keep the air cir
culating. On the fan in big letters
We're chalked the words quoted above,
indicating the men had lived at least
until the day after the fire. Evidently
the men had taken turns at the crank
of the fan, for one of the bodies had
fallen over the handle, as if he had
died while struggling to maintain an
air current.
That the miners were in the habit
of keeping tLeir savings on their per-
sons was shown by the amount OF
money found on the bodies. One min
er had in his belt $1,400 In the belt
of another miner was found $3.50 and
another had $172.
| These men were foreigners, and eyi-
IDENTIFY preferred to carry their money
on their clothing rather than deposit
it in banks. In the pockets of some
fof the mems clothing were found let
ters, but these were too badly obliter-
ated by water to be deciphered.
/ A report was circulated that evi-
dence had been brought to light with
the bodies indicating that the men
had lived for six weeks after they had
/ been sealed up in the mine, and that
they had existed on corn taken from
the mules stables. Sheriff Skoglund
of Bureau county made thorough in
vestigation of the report, examining
every bit of the evidence taken from
the mems clothing, and said it was un-
true. He believed the men had died OF
back damp, probably few hours af-
ter they had written the memorandum
on the fan.
1t was declared by the mine com
/ pany's officials that all of the 500 or
more miners entombed and killed in
the disaster have been accounted for
A number of bodies located have not
yet been brought up, but within a few
days, the officials say, the story of the
tragedy will be ended and the mine
cleared.

Weather Conditions.

The passage of an area of low
pressure from the Missouri valley to
New England has been attended by
rains from the upper and middle Mis-
sissippi valley to the eastern states,
and the temperature is slightly high
er in the eastern districts.
The pressure has increased in the
high area, which has remained north
of the lakes, and has caused cooler
weather in the upper Mississippi val
ley and the western lake region.
The pressure continues low over the
mountain region, with the greatest
depression over Arizona, with moder-
ately high temperature over this ter
ritory end the northwest, while a
field of high pressure is on the middle
Pacific coast.
Conditions indicate fair weather
for this section tonight and Wednes-
