Roy ]. King, chief mining engi-
neer for the Belmont, explained to

walls figures representing distances
from certain given points were add
ed to the map on the request of

AFTERNOON SESSION

The afternoon session opened
with Mr.. King still on the stand
under examination by Mr.. Miller
the Reno attorney.
Further facts relative to the loca-
tion of air pipes, etc, in the mine
were brought out by Mr.. Miller
and State Mine Inspector Ryan. A
new map was also introduced dur
ing the afternoon examination of
Mr.. King.
Shiftboss Grant was recalled to
the stand and stated that, to the
best of his knowledge, which he
knew of the fire on the day of the
disaster. He told of himself and
Burke searching through the mine
from both the Belmont and Desert
Quen shaft for the fire that caused
the terrible smoke. The fire, he
stated, was discovered near the
1166foot station.
Burke, he stated, called Fitzger-
aid on the phone, but could not To-
cate either Fitzgerald or Bradshaw.
Burke advised the top man that the
fire was located and asked for tim
bermen to come down the Desert
Queen shaft Bradshaw made the
descent through Belmont shaft.
Bradshaw, Burke and Grant tried
to locate Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald later Joined the party.
Burke, according to this testimony
braved the danger of a section
of the smoke infested mine with
other men, against the better judg-
ment of his fellow workmen.
The witness viyidly portrayed the
working of Fitzgerald, Bradshaw
and a number of the miners, in
their effort to locate the fire, which
later proved SO disastrous.
Burke made one trip to the top
before losing his life. He made
that trip for a roll of canvas.
Grant, while enroute to the shaft
maintains that he was half over
come by smoke, which was rolling
through the drift. He was but a
short distance from Hannigan, Muir
ply and several others at the time
He called to those two named for
help but received no response. He
later encountered Murphy, but was
too far gone to be of any aid. Grant
worked his way to the station which
he found crowded with excited min.
ers. He managed to get on the
cage-between the legs of the Other
miners who were wrestling for pc
sitions Grant fails to remembei
whether the cage was rising or not
He finally reached terra firma com

CHAS. D. HILLS
OF DOBBS FERRY
SUCCEEDS NORTON
Especial by Wireless. J

WASHINGTON, Feb, -Chas.
D. Hilles of Dobbs Ferry, n Y.
and said to be one of the foremost
boosters for Canadian reciprocity
in New York state, has been APP
pointed to the position of secretary
to the president, succeeding Charles
B. Norton.
The position is probably the most
important secretariar appointment in
this country. To the secretary of
the president comes all of the let
ters from "cranks" and malcontents
intended for the eye of the chief
executive, the begging letters, sug-
gestions as to how to run the coun-
try properly, and the million and
one things which go to make the
life of the official miserable.
In addition to this the secretary
is the buffer between importunate
visitors and his chief, and an enor-
nous fund of diplomacy is neces-
sary to prevent friction.
George B. Cortelyou and many
other of the presidential secretaries
have assumed important government
offices following successful admin
istration of the duties of the posi-
tion, until the work is now conceded
to be nothing but a stepping stone
to real political preferment.

BABY JOSEPHINE
IS The Big HIT
At THE BUTLER
CHILD WONDER PROVES STRONG
ATTRACTION AT LOCAL
PLAYHOUSE. =

The program of the Butler theater
for today consists of the following:
" A Robust Patient" Selig COM
edy which is a scream from start
to finish. "Trailed by An Indian"
is a Western drama, representing
a child stolen by two discharged
cowboys, trailed by an Indian, who
succeeds in capturing them both.
"Uncles Birthday Gift" is the rep
.resentation of an eccentric old uncle
who sends his niece a birthday gift
of plant in which is concealed a
valuable necklace. The messenger
loses the plant, and before he finds
it, the uncle's arrival is announced.
Ultimately the difficulty is settled
and the niece gets her necklace. 1t
is a very interesting story and is
full of humorous situations.
Baby Josephine made her first
appearance last evening and she is
by far the cleverest juvenile per-
former we have had the pleasure
of Witnessing She was forced to
respond to several encores last even-
ing and undoubtedly she will prove
to be the biggest drawing card the
Butler has had in some time. She
will remain at the popular little
playhouse all this week.
