said, were emptying the wealth OF
Porto Rico into the Golfers of syndicates
In New York and Madrid without bene-
fitting the natives.
Part of today'S session was devoted to
hearing speakers on the Indians and the
Philippines who had not arrived in time
to present their views Wednesday and
Thursday. when these peoples were un-
der discussion.

PRAISES CURRENCY BILL.
Senator Owen Says Its Principles
Have Been Well Tried.

BOSTON. October 24.-"We have got to
choose between public control under pub
lie opinion and private control. and pri-
vate control thai IS IRRESPONSIBLE said
Senator owen OF Oklahoma. chairman Of
the Senate committee, now considering
the Owen-Glass currency bill. before the
Boston City Club last night.
''The principles of the BILL" he contin-
ued. ..are for the most part old and well
tried. The present bill will release re-
serves of 25,OO0 banks now lying idle and
make them available for commerc al
bills. It will provide an elastic currency
with abundant security. protected against
imitation by safe checks"
Senator Owen likened the argument OF
the bankers that they should be put in
control of the federal reserve banks to
the story of the fox who asked the farm
er to put him in charge of the chicken
coop.

TWO Of RESCUE PARTY
LOST IN DAWSON MINE
Overcome With Poisonous Gas
While Searching for
) Missing Men,.

DAWSON, n. NJ, October 4.-Two Of
the helmeted rescue gang in Stag Canyon
Mine No. were lost in the workings
early today and believed to be dead.
Two others who accompanied them We're
brought out scarcely alive. Volunteers
at once began a search for the missing
men.
The four men were of crew of ten
who entered the mine at o'clock this
morning. At the sixteenth room the
crew divided and four Of them pushed on
into the eighteenth room at the face of
the mine Two of these, James Lurd. and
William Poisa, were walking ahead rocks
began to fall. They were buried in the
debris and their fellows struggled to
rescue them. Upon being pulled out OF
the mass of rocks Lurdi and POisa are
said to have become frightened and re-
moved their helmets. This action con-
fused their rescuers, who, frightened by
the continued fall of debris and ham,
pered by their thirty -eight-pound equip
ment, also jerked off their helmets and
ran into the entry out of the eighteenth
room. There they were overcome by
poisonous gases, but members of the
other division of the crew finally brought
them to the surface alive. Lurdi and
Poisa could not be found.
Three More Bodies Recovered.
Between = and 1 o'clock this morning
three additional bodies were recovered
and brought to the surface. No trace had
been found of General Superintendent
McDermott or Henry p. McShane. the
wealthy young New Yorker. 1t was be-
lieved McDermott's body is with group
Of men who were caught at the face
of the mine beyond the eighteenth room,
east.
1t was for these men that the search
was being made by the helmet crew when
Lurdi and Poisa met their accident.
Two hundred and twenty men still
were entombed early today. Twenty
three miners have been taken out Of the
mine alive and thirty-eight dead have
been recovered None of the rescued can
throw light upon the cause of the ex-
ploslon or the location of the miners yet
entombed.
The air in the outer entries has clari-
fed and it is reported that scarcely any
traces of black damp can be found in
that portion of the mine which has been
hastily retimbered and reventilated by
the reScuerS.

evening"" he continued and gave a
suitable speech for the occasion, stat
ing that while Rev. Larson had left
many friends in Washington he had
also many friends in this locality.
When he had concluded his speech
he presented the minister with a
handsome purse of money, on behalf
of his congregations with which to
buy furniture for the new parsonage
lately built for him in Nymore. Rev.
Larson responded with a few words
of thanks and then proceeded with
his regular sermon, after which he
and his family were invited to the
parsonage where the ladies were
busy preparing lunch. Rev. Larson
has had splendid success in his
church work the four months he has
been in Nymore. Churches have been
built and others have been improved

been completed. A new congregation
has been organized in Cass Lake and

THAT ATTACHMENT

The Free Press. true to its in
stinct ran as a news item yesterday
a statement that the Editor of the
Independent had been attached by
the Nevada State Journal, for an
old debt incurred on account Of
the "Bugle."
The account in dispute arose over
a souvenir edition of the journal
and bad no connection with the
Bugle whatever. Before this trial
is over the case will be reversed
and the editor of this paper will
not be defendant in attachment pro-
ceedings. Whatever the outcome
may be this attachment has nothing
to do with the Independent 1t is
purely a disputed account between
The Nevada State Journal and the
editor.
