Old Map of South America.

Claude Vautin, an English mining
engineer, who has been prospecting in
Peru, returned the other day on the
steamship Zacapa. Besides looking
after mining property, he has been
collecting interesting antiquities OF
the country.
One of the most interesting things
he brings back with him is a map of
South America made by the Jesuits in
1892. 1t gives an outline Of the land
as far north as Cuba and is apparent
ly accurate. It's purpose is evidently
plain, for every missionary station in
the country at that time is indicated
on the map, and the line of travel
necessary to reach them is marked
out This map was obtained by Mr..
Vautin at Puno, Peru.
Another interesting collection he
brought back is the death masks of
the Incas. These were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces of
the dead. Three of these obtained by
Mr.. Vautin are of sheet gold.

Disaster Occurs in Shaft at
Sykesville, Pa.
CAUSE MAY NEVER BE KNOWN
Believed Blast Was Result of Men
Striking Small Pocket of Gas,
But None Live to Tell
Tale

Dubois, Pa.-Twenty-one men were
killed by an explosion in Cas-
cade Coal & Coke company's mine
at Sykesville. They were trapped in
a heading" a mile and half from the
foot of the shaft. That some OF them
died a slow and tortuous death from
suffocation after escaping instant
death in the mysterious blast was ap-
parent to rescuers from the distorted
features of the victims.
Not one had the remotest chance for
his life as the pnssageway was blocked
by debris, and it required hours OF
tunneling to reach the scene of the
tragedy.
Twenty-seveD men were at work In
the mines at the time, Fl OF them be-
ing in the six, eight and nine head
ings south. This is where the explo-
sion occurred, and all of the Fl men
were killed by the explosion or died
as the result of inhaling the deadly
afterdamp.
A few of the bodies show that they
were killed by the explosion, but the
majority had their dinner pals with
them and were making their way to-
wards themain entrance when cut
down by afterdamp.
There were two sets of brothers
and a father and son among those
dead. George and John Hook, broth
ers, were found clasped in each others
arms, while Frank Patevitch and his
ifteen-year old son were also found In
n death embrace. They had been
facing for the entrance, but when
they realized that death was near
they embraced and passed away
clasped together.
Six bodies were first found and i'm
mediately brought to the surface.
Later eleven bodies were located, but
1t was decided not to bring these
until all had been secured. The four
bodies not yet recovered are in a
heading that has caved in. There is
no question, however. but that they
are dead
1t cannot yet be determined what
caused the explosion, but 1t is be-
lieved to have been the result of some
of the men striking a small pocket of
gas 1t will never be known as every
man in the section of the mine was
killed. there being no survivor to tell
the tale.
The Cascade Coal & Coke company
Is a Buffalo corporation and gives en-
ployment to about 300 men. The shaft
Is $50 feet deep and it is the first
time in its history that it has had
serious accident.
One feature OF the list of dead is
the fact that only few of the men
are married, fifteen of the dead being
single. The married men have large
families and already measures of re-
lief are being taken in Dubois.

mer-Priest Named in Case.

Washington.-William Burgess and
Henry furnish of Duluth and Herman
H. Hettler of Chicago were witnesses
before the Lorimer investigation CON-
mittee of the senate.

Der company lin the smoking-room of

fund used in the election of the SEN

Mr. Burgess related a remarkable
story told him by Mr.. Wiehe of the
refusal of Father Green, a Catholic
priest of Chicago to give absolution
in the confessional to a detective en-
plOyed by Chicago newspaper hostile
to Senator Lorimer until he had made
a clean breast of all his activities in
the case. Mr.. Wiehe, according to the
witness, said he got the facts direct
from the priest.
Henry furnish, who was with Wirth
Cook of Duluth at the Grand Pacific
hotel in Chicago in May, 1909. at the
time Edward Hines happened along
and discussed the tariff, the senatorial
deadlock and other matters, failed to
corroborate statements made by Mr..
Cook on the witness stand with refer
ence to that conversation.
Mr.. furnish said he knew the name
of Senator Lorimer was mentioned by
Mr.. Hines, but he did not remember
whether or not Mr.. Hines had pre-
dicted his election
Herman H. Hettler repeated the
story he told before the Helm COM
mittee to the eject that Mr.. Hines
remarked to him at the Union League
club in Chicago the day of Senator
Lorimer's election that he personally
had been responsible for the accom-
plishment. Mr.. Hettler quoted Mr..
Hines also as Boosting that he had
beaten President Taft in the lumber
schedule fight.
