Who Did Not File
Expenses.

A large number of candidates, mainly
for minor offices, who ran for election

by Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott were
kept secret it is known that fiftyfoul
candidates are on the list.
OF this number two are defeated
candidates for aldermen in this city,
several were candidates for assembly
on the Socialist and Prohibition tickets,
the rest being mostly candidates for
justice of the peace and constable.
The list was asked of County Clerk
Woolston by Prosecutor Mott several
days ago or shortly after November

KING GEORGE
TAKES TITLE
OF EMPEROR

DELI Dec. liking George v.
and his consort. Queen ,1ary were to-
day pro L med Emperor and Empress
of India. The lr3inating act of the
English monarch accession TO the
throne of his vast Indian dominions
took place amid a scene which for
richness of color and magnificence or
decorations probably has never been
surpassed In modern times.
The crowning was followed by an act
of generosity on the king emperor's
part, of which slight hint had already
been given. The viceroy proclaimed
that the king emperor was to donate
a large sum Of money to promote
popular education and that further

Miners Made Mad by
Fear Elude Their
PurSuerS.
MORE INDICATIONS
OF LIFE ARE FOUND
Efforts to Reach EntOmbed
Men Are Being Pushed
to Utmost.

BRICEVILLE, Tenn, Dec. H.
Stricken mad probably from fear IN
spired by their plight, two miners who
had been with the party rescued last
night are now dashing wildly in and out
of channels in the far reeesses OF the
mine All night long men of the res
cue squad have been chasing the ma
MACS. hut lust as soon as would-be
rescuers would get close on their trail
the madmen would dash away, scream
ing wildly.
First they scurry like rats down the
main entry, then scamper away into
Black .recesses of the mine at the ap-
proach of men from the outside.
The maddened miners are belleved
TO be John Duff and John Smith. News
of their plight is being kept from their
families, who have given them up for
dead.
Six more bodies were recovered to-
day
Two of the six were identified. One
was Joseph Mcqueen, widower. The
other Tate Vallalee, has wife and
four children.
The maddaued miners are believed
to be John Duff and John Smith. News
of their plight is being kept from their
families, who have given them up for
dead
Not the most unique feature of the
rescue work is aversion of the miners
to digging graves. They will take
their lives in their hands at rescue
- going far into the chambers OF
J1iO ia rfatcd mine, bit they hesitate at
digging holes for bodies of their fellow
workmen.
Director Chandler, of the rescue
work, was compelled to go among the
miners and plead with them before a
sufficient number would volunteer for
grave digging Most of the victims are
buried as soon as their bodies are re-
covered.
Additional signs of life were dis
covered in the Cross Mountain mine at
il o'clock On the walls of the main
shaft were found inscribed these
words:
1--WE have gone to %.
Immediately the rescue squads re-
doubled their efforts to reach cross
section No. 90 of the mine. 1t is be-
lieved several of the blast victims will
be found there.
At first the inscription was believed
to be the grim humor of one of the
trapped miners, but crudely drawn
"index hand" aimed at entry No. %
rointed out the way.
The rescue party penetrated into
cross entry No %. No miners were
found there, but additional directions
for their rescue We're found scrawled in
chalk on the walls. They evidently
were compelled to change their vantage
points on account of altering air con-
ditions. The rescue squad pressed on
in the direction indicated by the chalk
marks.
At IL o'clock a total of thirty bodies
had been removed.

Opening Plan
Is Submitted

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Magnates Of
the international League, formerly
known as the Eastern, spent the early
part of the afternoon discussing the
schedule of opening games for the
season of 1872 McGinnity, of Newark,
proposed that Buffalo meet Rochester
and Jersey City Newark on the OPEN
ing day, leaving the two Canadian
teams to play Baltimore and Provi-
dence respectively. Heretofore all the
games have been played in the East.
The plan was taken under advisement
but no action was taken. A meeting
to further discuss the schedule prob
ably will be held in Providence in
February.
The National Board of Arbitration
representing the minor leagues, took
u2 the consideration Of about thirty
minor cases. Among these was the
deadlock over the presidency in the
Virginia League.

BY SPILL
200 O'CLOCK SCORE.

/ GTrefn q Staff Correspopdentl
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Wiley, his
partner, Calvin, and Lapize, who start
ed terrific sprint at o'clock this aft
ernoon. would have caused the tapping
Lapize fallen by humping into Wiley
half lap ahead of the bunch
Calvin was on his wheel in jiffy,
but the bell sounded for the spill and
further sprinting was Off The men
had Travelled 7s3 miles at this point.
The old record was 779 miles and 3
laps, made in 1909 by Krebs and Cam
eron.
Jimmy Moran did lot to keep Lapize
Wiley and his partner from stealing
the lap they desired. Floyd MacFar-
land is urging the riders to continue
their record breaking pace.
Every siX-day rider, including even
National Champion Frank Kramer, is
taking his turn at pace-making. AS a
result the leading teams were foul
miles and four laps ahead of the old
record at IL o'clock. The men added
ten miles and four laps in the next
half hour, but all We're going nicely.
The six-day riders were going at a
fast clip at II o'clock today.
The fourteen teams left in the six
day bicycle race were more than two
miles ahead of the record at o oclocb
this morning.
At that time twelvce teams had
covered 667 miles laps, while the
Thomas-Stein and the Calvin Wiley
combinations remained one lap behind
The best previous record, 665 miles
fiat, was made last year by MacFar-
land and Clarke.
Early morning sprints failed 10
change the respective positions of the
contestant, although they forced a
speed that broke the record. In fact,
the leaders were ahead of the record
at o'clock, when the leaders had
covered 631 miles and laps.
Promoter Patrick T. Powers. of the
six-day race, announced today that he
had signed a five-year contract with
the owners of the new amphitheatre at
Fcrty- seventh street and Lexington
avenue. to hold the annual grind there.
The floor of the new amphitheatre is
ten feet less in width but twenty five
feet longF than the Madison Square
floor.
This will necessitate sleeper banks,
when the new saucer is built. Powers
asserts that there will also be $500
more seats at the new building.

representatives of the architects in
charge of the work. Marvin, Davis ana
Turton, of New York, called on Bulio-
ing Superintendent O'Rourke this
morning to inquire about certain con-
templated work on the new building.
The reason that only three-story
building is contemplated at this time is
because a higher building would smut
out the light and air from the sky
scraper now on the corner. 1t was salo
by the architect that had the company
been able to acquire the Pennington
property before building operations on
the present structure were commenced
the lighting and ventilating plans
would have been different and all parts
of the building would be Of the same
height

1t is said that even now it is not def
nitely decided to have only three
story building.
Real estate operators throughout the
city are today speculating as to the
price paid for the Pennington property.
1t is a well-known fact that at the time
the insurance company built the sky
scraper it was anxious to acquire the
Pennington land adjoining, but could
not come to terms because of the price
asked. Whether the price paid now is
less than that offered by the company
originally is what is puzzling real es-
tate men. The general impression, how
ever, seems to be that the price Is as
high now as It was when negotiations
were first commenced.

A Sensible Protest

The Clinch Valley News registers
protest against the lax methods en-
ployed by what it terms the "school
book trust' in Virginia. 1t asserts
that the text books used in our
schools are sold exclusively through
the Virginia Book Company which is
under contractual obligation to the
State Board of Education to supply
them at certain price and to put
them in hands of the children. That
is TO say. the company must provide
suitably central places for their dis
tribution. Complaint is made that
this contract is not being $. tisfacttor
lily executed. "Thcre are towns in
this county and perhaps in other
counties, devoid of store or agency
where books can be had", SAYS our
contemporary, the reason being.
perhaps, that 10 firm can be found
willing to handle the hooks on the
small margin of ten per cent, which
IS as high as the company will 90.
There seems To be no redress. The
books are sold by only one company
in the state, which therefore has the
ability to compel the dealers and the
entire agencies to pay the prices fixed
by itself. 1t is a trust, pure and sim
pie. controlling prices as well as out
put. - Regardless of the trust feature
of the proposition it is manifestly in
eumhent upon the Board of Education
to see to it that its contract with the
Virginia Book Company is given sat
'sfactory compliance certainly to
the extent of having it so that text
books are on sale at points conven-
iently accessible to the pupils of eve
ny school district in the State. Other
wise manifest hardship results to
public school patrons, and the cause
of public education is seriously pre-
JUDGED. -Lynchburg News
