men were taken out alive from the
Cross Moutaln mine last night after
all hopes of saving any of the 100 or
more men entombed by the explosion
last Saturday morning had been
abandoned.
All except one man were in good
condition after sixty hours below the
earth. and the rescuers were so en-
couraged that they bent their ener-
gies anew and late last night there
We're excellent prospects that more
survivors would be reached before
morning.
The men rescued were: William
Henderson, aged -: Milton Iender-
son, his son, aged %; Irwin Smith,
aged %; Arthur Scott, aged 30; Theo-
dore Irish, aged 30
All the men rescued were WORKING

side of the entry 10.
II. A. Irish, aged go. who was boss
ing the gang, was killed instantly by
the explosion, and his body was found
tonight badly burned His son. Thcu.
dore, was the only other one of the
gangs members accounted for who
was injured.
The other members strayed away
and have not been located.

rescued men. came out of the mine
smoking his pipe and resisted when
efforts were made TO carry him home

Harrisburg.-So idea of the i'm.
portance of Pennsylvania new cap
itol as point of interest for trav-
elers and sightseers from all over
the world is pretty clearly shown by
the monthly reports of the capitol
guides of the number of visitors reg.
istered there during the first II
months of the present year; all told
there were just SO,915; and they
came from all countries, too.
Fred w. Scheaffer, chief of the
guides and the bureau of information,
keeps a daily account of only those
visitors who ask for guide. There
are thousands who promenade
through the building without asking
the services of guide. Figuring on
the monthly totals of the last IL
months, with a conservative estimate
of the unguided, the years grand to-
tai should run the capitol visiting list
well above the $4,000 mark, Chief
Scheaffer thinks.
Besides the number of visitors
guided, the number of trips made by
the guides each day and the number
of packages checked while their own
ers are making the inspection tour,
is accurately kept. These figures are
also totaled at the end Of each month.

WILLARD WARNS THE PEOPLE
3. & o. President Sees Trouble as
Result of Restricting
Railroads.

Baltimore, Md, Dec 9.-There is a
possibility that the next period OF
great industrial activity in this coun.
try may find the railroads unable to
carry the augmented burden" and
that their partial failure to meet the
situation in 1906 and 1907 has furnish
ed a sufficient foretaste of what such
a condition will mean, Daniel Willard
president of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, said at dinner here to the
visiting Governors of Southern anC
Western States and railroad officials
The problem is, where, and by what
means, is to be obtained the great
amount OF new capital needed to pro.
vide the additional facilities and new
mileage necessary to properly meet
he requirements of a growing coun.
tTy-and when finally obtained, how
sill the additional obligations for in.
terest or dividends be met?

ings will be held in New York by the
joint board of the army and navy t,
enable New Workers to express theh
views regarding the advisability OF
the reverse of abandoning the Brook
lyn navy yard. This is the result OF
the brief conference which Mayor
Gaynor and Calvin Tomkins, the Com
missioner of Docks, had with the Sec
retary of the Navy
The question of abandoning the
New York Navy Yard, which is al.
most as old as the Republic itself, ha.
been seriously considered by Secre
tary Meyer in connection with hi
policy of reducing the number of navy
yards on the Atlantic Coast, the
scheme under consideration being the
substitution, not only for the New
York yard, but also for those at Bos
ton and Portsmouth, of a s:eat naval
base at Narragansett Bay This idea
is very popular in New England ant
the movement has great strength.

MAS MOST LIKELY A MINE
Report Says Injury to Bottom Was
Due to Setting of of Charge Of
Explosive Which lgnited Forward

Washington, Dec. 9.-After 10 years
1f doubt and contradiction, and charge
and counter charge, the mystery sur
rounding tho explosion CT the battle
ship Maine, in Havana Harbor has
been swept away The Vreeland board
has found that the battleship was de-
'troyed by an exterior force
This fact has been announced by
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, who,
after receiving the report of the board,
presented it to the President
The examination of the wreck by
the Vreeland board bears out in de-
tail the findings of the commission
named by the Navy Department few
lays after the ships destruction, and
ends for all time the controversy con.
corning the cause of the explosion.
According to the Vreeland board
the injury to the bottom of the Maine
vas caused by the explosion of a
harge of lowform explosive exterior

According to the findings of the
Sampson board 13 years ago the con.
litiOn of the wreck, "could have been
produced only by an explosion of a
nine situated under the bottom Of
he ship about frame lS. and some.
what on the port side of the ship"
A brief statement giving the sub
stance of the Vreeland boards find
'ngs has been given out This is as
'Glows:
"The board finds that the injuries
70 the bottom of the Maine were caus-
I'd by the explosion of a charge OF

No sooner had the original Slmpscr

irnamed the American people to the
