A Tent-PitChing Machine

= The great canvas tents so familiar
to the cfrcus-goipg population are
heavy, weighing often five
tons or more, and handling them
quickly is task that formerly taxed
so men for two hours, and then was
accomplished only fndifferently we'll.
By new device a big wagon is equip
ped with a long roller, operated by a
gasoline engine, which winds up the
hig canvas as quickly and easily as a
clothes WTinger handles a sheet. In
deed the resemblance is something
more than fancifub for this appliance
Wrings the canvas, perfectly dry, even
on a rainy night, SO that the tent may
be transported without fear of rotting
or mildeW. Reversing the process,
and pulling the big canvas off the roll
lers by horses. the entire tent may be
raised quickly, the roller on the wag-
on being utilized to pull up the ropes
which raise the poles, saving an i'm
mense amount Of hard work and hours
of time. The gasoline engine is used
only for operating the roller, the
wagon being hauled by eight horses.

Ell PasO is expecting to have the
state school of mines located here dur
ing 1914. This department of the Uni
versity of Texas is seeking a home,
and at present arrangements are be-
ing made to put the old FL PasO Mill
tary Institute buildings at the disposal
of the state. These buildings cover
20 acres of ground lying beyond Fort
Bliss. The buildings are in good re-
pair and substantial. They include
class rooms, large assembly hall, gym
nasium and dOrmitOrieS If the trans
fer of these buildings can SATISFACTORY
" be arranged which is as good as
assured, the state regents Of the uni
versity will begin installing the lab
OratOry equipment and other technical
mines and the school will open for
work in the fall.
Ell Paso is most advantag eously sit
uated for a school of this character,
bein the center of a radius of mining
towns. Mining is the greatest indus
try of the southwest, and Ell PasO is so
situated that it can readily reach the
great mining camps of Arizona, New
Mexico and Mexico The largest silver
lead copper custom smelter in the
country is located here, and this is the
headquarters for some of the best min
ms. engineers in the country.
Census Gives Nearly 10000.
In Ell PasO according to the latest
school census there are 9706 children
of school age. Of these BIB are
American children, 213 are negroes and
5691 are Spanish speaking children.

with the population. The time of the

HEAVY BAIL FOR FORGERY
Fred LeBrun and H. r. Mercer Held
Under $4,000 Each After Hear
ing by Mayor Royal

Fred LeBrm and H. R. Mercer,
charged with forgery and false pre-
tense, were held in $4,000 bail each by
Mayor Royal in police court this after
noon. During the hearing warrant
from the New York Police department
was read by Chief of Police Hutchison,
who is the prosecutor in the local case.
The New York warrant charged LeBrun
with grand larceny. A telegram from
the Burns Detective Agency saying
Mercer is wanted in New York was also
read.
The arrests were made Saturday
night when the Mechanics Trust Com
pany, who accepted a check for 1000
as deposit, learned that it was worth
less. A similar check deposited in the
Dauphin Deposit Trust Company was
found on investigation by that institu-
ton to be worthless. On a single
charge drawn from those two transac-
tions the men were held for 1900
bail
On three other charges of false pre-
tense they were held in $500 each,
making the total bail $4,000. No eff
forts were made on the part of counsel
to have the bail reduced. If the men
should obtain that amount of bail, the
New York warrant could be read to
them as detainer and additional bail
would have to be obtained to insure
their freedom.

IRYTOREACH HENIOMBED MEN
Rescuing Force Hopes to Dig Through
Debris to Imprisoned Miners Be-
fore Evening
Especial to the star-1ndependent.)

(Special to the Star-lndependent)
Tower City, Nov. 11.-William o.
Shriner and William Evans, Tower City
miners, have been entombed alive in
the Reading Company's West Brookside
mine for two days, and thus far res
cuing force has vainly worked to re-
store them to liberty. 1t is not known
whether they are still alive or not.
The men were inclosed in a living
grave by fall of top rock from the
roof. Hundreds of tons fell, cutting
Shriner and Evans off from their fell
miners.
The prisoners are in the East No.
run, and between them and their tire
less and anxious rescuers is a great wall
of debris caused by the slipping of a
pillar of coal. The rescuers hope to
penetrate the wall late this afternoon.
Experts are heading the rescue force,
which strenously works in short re-
lays, and the suspense of the large fam
lilies of the entombed men, the elder
ones of whom refuse to leave the scene
of disaster, is pitiable. They know
the terrible danger not only of new
cave-ins, but of the air in the close
confines of the mining tomb becoming
deadly III its gases.
The accident calls to mind vividly to
the people of Tower City the series of
explosions at that place only recently,
when a score of miners lost their lives
and others We're injured. At that time
a number of the officials met death with
the rescuing parties which went into
the mine.
