MINERS PROSPER, OWN
THEIR HOMES IN WEST
Better OF Than Pennsylvania Breth-
rem, Due to Union, Federal Com
mission Finds.

Washington. Bituminous coal
miners Of the Middle West live under
better conditions than do the men en-
gagged in the same industry in Penn
sylvania, and the improvement is at
tributed to the influence of organized
labor, according to the national i'm
migration commission, in report
made public. The conclusions of the
commission are based upon 10000
specific cases in Ohio, Indiana and IL
linois.
The observations of the agents of
the commission lead to the conclusion
that about half of the miners own
their own homes. Owing to the prev
alence of trolley cars many of them
live in adjacent towns and ride to
their work. Company stores are not
common. The eight-hour system pre-
walls, and the union has been usually
successful in preventing new arrivals
from driving out the old miners.
The average wage earning capacity
is $2.49 per day, which is AZ cents
more than is paid in Pennsylvania.
A marked increase in wages has been
made in recent years.
A greater degree of interest in
public affairs is shown. In a large
number of cases investigated, SO per
cent. of foreigners either had taken
or prepared to take out naturaliza-
ton papers.

six to nine children are common
J. M, Perkins, Choctaw, testified
lie had nine children, all of whom had

sidered that McMurray knew better

DR.. J. H Miller, Choctaw by inter-
marriage, testified that he and his
eight children had signed the con-
tract.
The wealth of the Oklahoma In

sivation.

MAYOR GAYNoR's sIcKRooM
Gallagher's Bullet Lodged in Vault of
Pharynx.

New York. Optimistic bulletins
concerning Mayor Gaynor were
handed out from day to day by the
doctors in charge of his case in St.
Mary's hospital, Hoboken. These bull
letins said the mayor, after passing
comfortable nights, was improving
steadily and that all the symptoms in
his condition were favorable, They
said he was taking nourishment we'll
and pronounced his condition as ex-
cellent. No operation was deemed
necessary and it was limited it might
be delayed until the mayor regained
still more strength.
There was rumor also that the
bullet lay in the vault of the pharynx
so close to the brain that an opera
ton might be fatal, but in answer to
that Adamson explained the bullet lay
in such a position that it could be
taken out on almost "a minutes no.
tice and perhaps without administer
ing an anesthetic.
A blood test made by Dr.. George
F. Sullivan was pronounced by him
to be satisfactory in every respect. He
declared that no signs of blood poison
ing had manifested themselves.

'BALLOON|ST FALLS
SIX THOUSAND FEET
Benny Prinz Dashed to Death at
Ashury Park.
THOUSANDS SAW HIM KILLED
In Last Thousand Feet Victim Falls
Like a Cannon Ball and is Bat
tered Terribly When He Lands
in TOP of Apple Tree.

Asbury Park, N. J.--Several hun
dred persons saw benjamin Prinz, a
young parachute jumper, drop 6,000
feet to death at the aviation meet
here.
Prinz had risen to that height in
balloon He dropped with a para
chute about 1000 feet and then
opened up second parachute, drop
ping at great speed meanwhile. Some
thing went wrong with the second
umbrella, and it failed to check the
tremendous velocity downward.
In the last 1000 feet Of the fall
Prinz's body came hurting through
the air like cannon ball. Women
tainted and men turned sallow with
fear as the slight form of the para
chutist crashed into an old apple tree,
breaking down the heavy branches.
When George G. Conover, on whose
property the body fell, ran to the spot
he found that Prinz's head had been
torn from his body.
Prinz was about twenty-three years
old and came from Newark. He and
James Fleming have made a preca-
rious living doing parachute stunts
with hot air balloons. They Joined
the Johnny Mack troupe Of aeronants
that was hired for aviation week here.
1t was after sunset when Fleming
and Prinz went up, and by arrange
ment Fleming dropped when ne had
reached height of about 1000 feet
Prinz went sailing upward while
Fleming was going easily to the
ground Soon Mack fired a pistol as
signal to Prinz to drop. 1t was COM
puted that the airman had reached
fully 5000 feet before the pistols
crack met his ears. Fleming landed
safely several minutes before that
The first parachute Prinz opened
worked all right, but there was trou-
BILE with the fastenings of the second
when he tried to shake it out. A
hush fell on the group of men and
women watching him az they realized
that Prinz was coming down like a
stone When his body hit the earth
the noise could be heard like a dull
pistol shot hundreds of yards away.
Fleming collapsed as he saw his
partner drop.

MAYOR GAYNoR BULLETINS.
Reports That the Physicians Sent Out
From Sick Room.


New York.-Every report from the
sick room of Me- York's chief execu-
tive save one or two which were unof-
fetal yet of good authority had it that
Mayor Gaynor was making steady
progress toward recovery from the
pistol wounds inflicted by Gallagher.
The physicians who signed the official
statements concerning the mayors
condition contented themselves With
registering their patients improve
ment in the most general terms. The
unofficial reports emanating from the
bedside of the wounded mayor were
specific even though less optimistic.
Despite their assurances that Mayor
Gaynor was stronger than at any time
since he was shot the physicians in
attendance at St. Mary's hospital, Ho-
boken, finally permitted Robt. Adam
son, the mayors secretary, to
make a statement concerning one fea-
ture in the development of the case
which was not part of the general
schemesof optimistic conclusions.
In answer to many queries by the
newspaper men, Mr. Adamson said
that the patient had been bothered by
coughing. This irritation of the
throat had caused the physicians in
charge of the sick room to renew the
spraying with tiDcture of benzoin,
which had been given in the hours
Immediately following the shooting.

MINERS MILLIONS WIpECOUT
Organizations Treasury Alleged
to Be Practically Bankrupt.
Said That Men Have Northing to Fear
if They Obey Boards Orders
and Return to Work.

Indianapolis.-W has been sus-
pected by many of the delegates to
the miners convention and feared by
all came to light in discussions and in
reports of officers when it was dis
covered that the treasury is practical
ly bankrupt and the organization in
debt to locals for borrowed money
to the amount of $125,000. In addi
ton to this there is an overdraft OF
$4,000 unpaid, and to meet the ex-
penses of the convention the miners
must depend upon the weeks assess
ments.
This condition, contrasted with that
Of five years ago, when the organiza-
ton had bank balance of nearly
$1,000,000, is creating more discus
sion than the quarrel between Lewis
and Walker. for the delegates declare
that with. $4,000 men idle and the
treasury bankrupt there seems moth
ing in store for them but to return
to work on the terms offered by the
operators.
Lewis and his supporters believe
the financial condition will bring the
Illinois miners to respect the agree
ment MADE by the executive DOarQ
with the operators. though there is
much criticism of his administration
because of what is believed to be the
needless expenditure of money.
Since the strike was inaugurated,
in April, the executive board has or
1ered the payment of benefits to the
strikers aggregating $1,000 a week,
and these on August totalled SEA-
900. The expenses of the organiza-
ton in the same time, including the
payment Of organizers, aggregated
$185,338, leaving the treasury bare

and with nothing to depend on except
the rs cents week assessment which
each miner at work is expected to
pay.
Lewis has been placed on the de-
fensive by this condition, but he says
that every cent paid out was ordered
by the executive board, and that the
organization has nothing to fear if
Illinois miners will obey the board s
orders and return to work

ALDRICH WILL RETIRE.
Denies Remembering His Determina-
ton to Leave Senate.

Boston "Details of the conference
at Warwick, r. l.. attended by Sena-
tor Nelson w. Aldrich, Senator W.
Murray Crane of Massachusetts and
Charles D. Norton, secretary to the
President, are now known in higher
political circles here. 1t is said that
Mr., Aldrich definitely told his callers
that stories that he had reconsidered
his determination not to be candi-
date for the senate again are without
foundation. The senator said he had
made all his plans to retire from pub
lic service. He felt he had given a
good part of his life to the govern
ment and had no desire to grow
old in the senate. Mr.. Aldrich went
so far as to discuss his probable sue
cessor with his callers, and left the
distinct understanding that his deci-
sion is irrevocable.
Reports that the purpose of Sena-
tor Cranes visit was to urge Mr. AL
drich to remain in the senate are said
to be erroneous.
