Bodies of the victims were
not counted accurately Thurs
day, because as they left the
mine they were distributed
not only in Linton, but several
surrounding small towns in
which many of them lived.
Mine officials said Reed had
been in the hole when the eX-
plosion came, and, unable to
find him, assumed he was one
of the dead.
One body was identified as that
of Reed, but because of the black
ened skin, distorted features, and
scorched and mangled condition OF
the bodies, mistakes in Identification
were easy to make.
Saddened Linton is busy with
preparations for funerals of the
twenty EIGHT men who died in all
explosion, and with measures to
help some fifty children made
fatherless and a score of women
widowed by the disaster.
Burials to Be Saturday
Most of the dead will be buried
Saturday. There will be no collect
i've service, each family caring Tor
its own dead.
There has been no delay in ex-
tending aid to the living as plans
for last rites for the victims adj
vanced.
Hardly had the last of the black
ened bodies been removed from the
mine, shortly before sunrise Thurs
day morning, when city officials, the
Greene and Sullivan counties Red
Cross chapters, Linton Associated
Charities Community Fund and
Salvation Army had representatives
interviewing bereaved families.
Outside Aid Is Asked
Thursday afternoon these groups
were represented at a meeting III
city hall. Governor Harry G. Leslie,
who had arrived here from Indian
apolis several hours previously, con-
tributed $1,000 from his emergency
fund to be used to meet immediate
needs of their children and widows.
He was advised that the Red
Cross and Community Fund to-
gether have like amount available
for the same purpose.
w. j. Hamilton, banker, mine
operator and merchant, was elected
relief chairman, and Ray E. Singer,
secretary. The chairman appointed
DR.. E. v. Bull, Linton mayor; L. W..
Warner, D. r. Scott, E. A. Powell
and Joseph Haseman as his CO.
workers.
1t was decided that the need is
too great for Linton to bear alone,
and that contributions from outside
the community would be accepted.
Among the first offers of aid was
that from the Sullivan county Red
Cross. The Little Betty mine is in
that county, while Linton, although
only a few miles distant is in Greene
county.
Children Must Be Cared for
Thursday night groceries and
other necessities were taken into
more than one home as relief work
passed from conversation to action.
Mayor Bull during the city hall
meeting pointed out that immediate
aid, while of much Importance,
should not overshadow the work to
be done over period of years in
caring for the children made
fatherless.
He estimated that this phase Of
the disaster would be felt for the
next fifteen years.
Data was gathered Thursday by
Albert G. Daley Of Knightsville,
state mine inspector, as the prelim-
mary step of an investigation Of

 The speaker was Senator A. J. Dimond, who discussed the Alas ka Railroad. After giving fitting tribute to the dreamers whose wis., ions actually resulted in the build ing of the railroad, he continued in his pleasing, straight forward manner by tracing the development of the system, showing possibili- ties of great development of the Territory's abundant resources if the railroad is to be given a fair chance. He deplored any cur tailment Of the efficiency and use fulness of the project by proposed exorbitant rates, which in his opin- ion, would not only make develop ment of mineral and other re- sources all but impossible, by cre- ating prohibitive hindrances to marketing, but would in a short time even lead to discontinuance of the railroad itself.

 Spectacular sequences of Nam my" are filmed in Technicolor which adds greatly to their eff fectiveness.

By THE. SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 0.N.SO.
While 1t is hardly to be expected
that any important price move
ments will be witnessed in today's
preholiday session, the action Of
the market in tn closing days
of last week seems TO point con.
clusively to higher prices over
Forthcoming days.
At Saturdays top levels for the
80 industrial stocks in the Dow.
Jones index were within four
points of the best prices Of the
move. This Is quite a comeback
when it is remembered that only
two days previously bearish
traders were loudly asserting that
stocks we're headed back to the
old bear market lows.
The buoyancy Of the grain
market, If it continues its cur
rent pace, is expected to bolster
up further prices of securities.
December wheat in the American
market .ast Saturday reached
the highest level since July 8
and is up more than 16 cents a
bushel from the lows Of Octo-
ber 5. .
While much talk is heard Of
possible initiation Of commodity
prices, analytical students have
prepared q statistical study which
discloses that such a rise would
not be as artificial as certain
sources deem.
It is pointed out that while
stock averages are approximately
at the level Of mid.year 1924,
commodity prices are distinctly
deflated.

SAFETY IN HOME
LOANS SHOWN

Building and loan association
investments of the $4,000, 900
shareholders proved a9.73 per
cent safe in 1890, it is pointed
out by H. r. CellariuS, Cincinnati,
Ohio, secretary-treaSurer of the
United States Building and Loan
League, on basis Of statistics at
the end Of last year.
The safety recorded for some
$S,S28,611,925 in this report in
cludes maintenance Of par value
throughout the year for the
principal invested as well as reg
ular dividends earned at normal
rates. All present indications
point to an equal record for
safety in 1881, it is stated.
In more than .two-thirds of the
States there were no losses to
shareholders and no liquidations
of associations, Mr.. CellariuS
points out in an analysis of the
maximum loss of .27 per cent as
sets In the whole country.
Ninety per cent Of the total
funds were invested m home
loans in 1880. The 99.73 per cent

in New York city alone, there
arose such nationally famous
structures as the Empire State
Building, the Irving Trust, Wal

others but little less prominent.

HOPES
WITH CAUTION,
IS ADVICE
Country Certain to Recover
From Business Ills, Says
Haney, But Not From Bunk
By LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University Bureau
of Business Research


of Business Research
We are being told that several
developments are highly favor.
able. 1t is said that the hoard
ing Of money has been checked
and that gold exports are prac.
tically over.
It is said the payment of the
regular dividend by the Bethle-
hem Steel Company shows conf.
dence in the future. Steel COM
psny presidents announce in
creased buying. France is sup
posed to be buying a large guam
tity of our surplus wheat.
Caution Advisable
l sincerely hope that all these
points are true and sound. 1t
seems possible that some of them
do warrant greater hopefulness.
But desire to urge that we keep
cautious. and particularly that in
vestors of small means do not 10
anything hastily.
Let persons of large means and
financial leaders show their faith
in the situation before we
plunge.
The evidence that monetary
boarding has ceased is merely
that the Reserve Board reports
a reduction of $24,000,0O0 in
money in circulation" That
may be due to a decrease in the
till money oc the banks them
selves. It may be due to the
passing of the seasonal peak in
business.
Gold exports continue, and the
relatively high quotations for
several foreign currencies make
it not improbable that the out.
ward movement will last for
some time yet.
Average Man Sound
I am hopeful that business con-
ditions are very near the low
point. I find that the ideas Of
the common, ordinary, average
citizen are sound. He doesn't
want initiation. He wants to get
out of debt.
He recognizes that we have
been on Joy ride and now need
to sober off, economic, and get
Fundamentally, sound. He
realizes that this will take time
That is the right basis for re-
covery.
We are going to get well, but
not by chasing false hopes
and exaggerating prema ture
symptoms.
