Though there are saloons in Flat River, which
fact in itself is remarkable considering the number
foreigners, men occasionally tank up in neighboring
towns and stray into Flat River where they are ar
ragned on various charges before the justice court
and petty crimes and family disputes are not less
frequent there than in many other towns.
The thing that has made possible the development
and capitalization of such a powerful moral senti
ment in this mining community is the fact that from
its very beginning the most prominent of the

resentative citizens who used every means in their

action by the republican national
committee settled upon Chicago as
the place of holding the next presi-
Dental nominating convention and
determined against attempting to
hold a presidential preference straw
vote in each state. The date of the

The selection of Chicago followed
after the representatives of other ap-

sensations of the invitations pre-
sented by their communities. The
determination to issue practically
same call as has been issued quad
rennially almost since the civil war
was preceded by a divided vote, AZ

report in favor of election of dele
gates by primaries. Where state
laws so provide, primaries will be
held and the delegates SO chosen will
be recognized.
The disposition of the matter OF

wishes of the friends of President
Taft, who were in majority in the
committee.

Kansas City, Mo.-A mistrial of the

% Bodies-More Victims
Are Being Sought.

Briceville, Tenn-Three miners,
alive and WELL have been found in
Cross Mountain mine, which was de-
stroyed by terrific explosion.
The rescue parties now are search
ing for the hundred or more other
persons known to have been in the
shafts at the time of the disaster.
These survivors, if found, will be dis
covered, it is said, in lateral shafts
more than two miles back in the bow
els of the mountains.
Immediately after the explosion on
Saturday the five men rushed to cross
entry No. 10, where they quickly
threw up brattice that kept out the
black damp that killed many of their
fellow workmen. They took their
lunch pals with them and they sub
sisted for three days and two nights
on what they expected to make their
Saturday noon meal.
Twenty-eight bodies have been re-
moved and but twenty cross entries
have been explored. The rescuers are
encountering great obstacles in pene-
tratlng the cross sections and 1t is
feared that even should more be alive
In the far recesses of the workings it
will be impossible to reach them be-
fore they starve.
Another rescue car has arrived
from Pittsburgh, SO there are plenty
of helmet men on the scene. Finding
of the five men revived an abandoned
hope in the breasts of these workmen,
and now thy are pushing ahead with
all possible speed, hoping to find more
men alive.
Governor Hooper of Tennessee and
Mayor Watts of Coal Creek sent out
appeals for funds for relatives of vic
tins. The coal company is supplying
the immediate needs of the stricken
families, but later money will be
needed to care for the widows and
orphans.
