CALUMET. Mich, December 90
While four separate investigations of
Caiumets Christmas tree disaster In
which seventy-two persons, most of them
children, were killed, were being made
today and dispute was being waged as
to who should bury the dead, peace
makers were at work in a separate eff
tort to bring about an end to the copper
mine strike in this region.
Over the bodies of the little ones the
leaders OF the peace movement hoped
to see an end to the labor strife which
has torn the Calumet copper district for
several months.

Hostility Is Waning.
The feeling of hostility was not SO
marked today when 1t was seen that the
citizens OF Calumet and other cities in
the mine district were in earnest in
their efforts to raise funds for the strick-
en- families. Almost unlimited amounts
of money were pledged by mine owners
and merchants who have been opposing
the strikers. The committees represent

members of families whose dear ones
were taken from them in the unneces-

Following these committees went 9TH

After the funerals of all the victims.

spirit of fight will have been inferred with
the bodies of the innocent children and
wives of strikers.
The citizens committee, which met all
night, now has $4,000 in it's hands. all
donated by people of Calumet. In Hough-

Secretary Wilson this afternoon de-

solicitor of the Department Of Labor,

miners there The Secretary shorty
after noon dispatched a telegram to

forming Mr.. Meyer Of his action, and
expressing his sympathy to the fami-

that the affair was a crime wholly

From the meager information as yet In

LABORER FINDS DOLLAR
WITH VALUE OF $500
Excavated at New Haven, It is Said,
But New York Numismatists
Doubt It.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. December pa
silver dollar bearing the date 1904, highly
priced by numismatists. and understood
to be quoted at $500 for collection pur-
poses, was found here today.
William Sullivan, a laborer, excavating
on the site Of the new ice rink for the
Yale hockey team, turned over with his
shovel an old jar which rested on a
bowlder seven feet below the surface Of
the street nearby Under the bowl was
silver snuff box made in Nuremberg,
green with civilization. and in it a United
States silver dol ar dated 1904. in good
condition. a number of Connecticut cop
per coins. a continental note for S.. sew
eral state notes and some rings. The
metal articles were slightly corroded. but
they rubbed up well and dates were
plain. The notes had to be carefully
handled to prevent disintegration.
Canal Ran Near Site.
The Northampton canal was close by in
the old days and excavation showed a
ledge of locks. on which the bowlder
rested. giving the impression that water
formerly covered the spot The snuff box
was taken to jewelers. for examination.
They found the contents as follows:
Silver dollar, dated 1904. with letters
around the edge in place of milling; sill
yer dollar. 179s; three Connecticut copper
coins, 1887; Connecticut state bank note
for 40 shillings, ITS; continental note or
1875 for three dollars; watch made IN
Strassburg in 1881; deed of property
written in old English. not yet deciphered,
of date of 1897: document dated 172S.
with six imprints on it. which appear to
be imposts by the British government.
The hall mark on the snuff boxe is of
174O.
The 1904 dollar cleaned up showed on
one side woman's head, with Liberty
below it. On the other side is an eagle
with "E .Pluribus Unum" as the motto.
A shield and arrows and United States
of America complete the design. The
words on the edge are: "One hundred
