Sectional feeling was aroused in
the senate Friday by Senator Root,
who, in a vigorous speech in opposi-
ton to the election Of senators by

Negotiations with the government
marine signal off the north coast of the
Keweenaw point bear indications of
meeting with favorable action. 1t APP
pears, however, that there is a diver
sity of opinion among masters as TO
whether this signal should be located
off Eagle River or of Sand Hill, about
four miles east of Eagle River.
In order TO secure the concensus of
opinion Of navigators, masters are re-
quested TO write to the secretary of
tho Lake Carriers association at
Cleveland, expressing their views as 20
the most desirable site for the install
lation of this signal, giving their reas-
ons for favoring one or the other loca-
ton.
II has long been recognized by ma
rine men that the reefs off the west
coast of the Keweenaw Point were very
dangerous asd that many wrecks might
have been prevented by a proper sig
nal. Previous to the wreck of the
Moreland, several other vessels went
aground on the reef off Eagle River.
There is no doubt that the establish
ment of a submarine signal will be
hailed with delight by all vessel mas
tiers.

INQUEST HELD
THIS MORNING
DEATHS OF WILLIAM cHiNN AND
JOHN KuRTTI ATTRIBUTED
TO BEING THROWN
FROM CAGE.

At the inquest this morning, held by
Coroner william Fisher, TO inquire in
TO the circumstances surrounding the
deaths of William Chinn. aged 4S. and
John Kurtti. aged 20. who met death
in the Red Jacket shaft about 4:30 y.
m. yesterday. the jury returned n YER
diet TO the effect that death was due TO
the men being thrown from the cage In
which they were ascending to surface.
Several OF the miners who were rid
ing i'm the cage at the time the acci-
dent occurred testified, but could throw
little light on the accident. They stat
ed that they started from the sixty
ninth level TO come TO surface and had
passed the fifty seventh level when the
men were thrown from the cage. They
were cut up badly by Being squeezed
between the side of the cage and the
timbers i'm the shaft.
The breaking of the tail rope on the
cage was directly responsible for the
accident, il is believed. An examina
ton of the shaft following the acct
dent, showed that a tram car carried
i'm the skip which was descending in
the second compartment OF the shaft
caught on a piece of timber. This
caused a strain on the tail rope. which
broke, causing the man-car to leap
upward, precipitatng Chinn and
Kurtti out of the cage.
The jury was composed of w Mat
thews, John V. Rastello, James Rowe
James Sharp, Evelyn Carter, and VIII
liam S. Uren.
Funerals Thursday.
Chinn is survived by wife and four
children. They are Pearl, William, Vio-
let, and Chester. He was engaged as
n powder man, and was known to
large number of local residents. He re-
sided at the Red Jacket shaft loca-
ton. The funeral will likely take
place Thursday afternoon. under the
auspices of the Calumet and Hecla
lodges of odd Fellows.
Kurtti was a single man, and had
a number of relatives here. The remains
of Kurtti will be inferred in Lake View
cemetery Thursday afternoon, Rev. A..
l.. IIeideman Of the Finnish Apostolic
church officiating.

BABY NEAR DEATH
In FIRE AT SiLViS

A house in Silvis caught fire this
morning when Mrs. Tinson, the oc-

a flame in a stove by the use of gaso-
line. The wOman's clothes took fire
and she was badly though not ia
tally burned. The whole house ap-
peared to be doomed and for a time
it was thought that a baby in the
other half of the house would be
burned. 1t was saved, however, by
the efforts of a man named Motion,
who climbed a ladder and made his
way into the room where the child
lay.
