New York, Nov. 16—No definite in- formation can be obtained regarding the reported organization of a new $1,000,000,000 corporation to - control the output of copper. Numerous conferences of copper in- terests have been held at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co., but none of the parties would talk of the —reported combination. Reports of the proposed mergers have been sifted to a point where fair- 1y general credence is given the state- ment that J. P.

HUNDRED DEA ‘No Hope for Entombed Iili- ~ .nois Miners. ! "RESCUERS - ENTER SHAFT Men Equipped With Oxygen Helmets Bravely Proceed Into Coliiery-and Discover That Fire Is Still:Burning m&ndthe Workings in Many Piaces ‘Are Caving In—Task of Recovering Bodies a Difficult One. Cherry, 111, Nov. 16.—Hope has all but been banished by the relatives ot [“the 800 -or more men, now numbered “@s°victims in the greatest disaster in the history of Illinois. That not one man of the hundreds entombed in the St. Paul Coal com- pany’s mine will be taken from it alive 1s the practically: unanimous opinion of those on the scene. Rescuers equipped with oxygen hel- mets who entered ‘the mine added to the horror by declaring that the mine was still on fire and in many places was caving in. The rescuers were unable to penetrate more than a few feet from the main shaft in the sec- ond vein. Equipment consisting af the most medern paraphenalia was useless in the chambers, all of which were choked with gas and smoke. That every.bit of lifegiving air had boen exhausted many hours ‘ago was declared certain. No 8ign of Life Seen. Three descents were made, but no sign of life was seen and the rescuers declared that no life could exist for hundreds of feet beyond the shaft en- trance. A few miners’ caps and lamps were seen—tragio tokens of the first mad rush for safety by the min- ers who escaped, but no bodies were found. This indicated to the rescuers that when the miners realized they were penned hopelessly in a pit from which there was no exit they rushed to the furthermost end of the vein, where some air might be found that would keep them alive till help came. Frantic protest against the action of the state commission in ordering the sealing up of the entrances fol- lowed the action and grew greater as the hours passed. Despite the ex- postulations of the relatives of the im- prisoned men experienced mine work- ers asserted it was the only way to end the fire and afford any hope of rescue to those within. All Hope Is Abandoned. Acting Chief of Police McFadden, who was for years & miner and who ‘was one of the last men to leave the mine alive, reluctantly said that with the closing of the shaft Saturday night the ‘last vestige of hope for the en- tombed men had vanished. The task of bringing the bodies to the surface.will be attended with dif- floulty. Searching parties, provided with oxygen helmets to guard against the smoke, will carry stretchers on which to bear the bodies to the bot- tom of the shaft. The ‘second and -third veins are :sald to be filled with-smoke. The darkness in these veins will make the journeys through the galleries Blow:and hard and only: those provid- ed with the helmets can penetrate the recesses. The fire, which now seems to have been burning steadily long after it was first reported to have burned fitselt out, kept driving the miners farther and farther toward the blind ends of the gallerfes. RIDDER SAYS IT IS FALSE Replies to 8peaker Cannon’s Charge of . ' Bribery. New York, Nov. 16.—A demand has been made on Speaker Cannon to fur- nish-the names of the men whom he says with .Herman Ridder offered 0. pledge ‘certain metropolitan news- papers to.boom him for the presidency 4f ‘he:would use his influence to:have the duty on white print paper removed. The charge was made by Speaker [ Cannon at a banquet in Bloomington, I, and was his explanation of the criticisms of his public acts. Mr. Ridder was interested in the tariff.on white paper as president of the American Publishers’ association. He characterizes the charge as both false and ridiculous-and now insists that Speaker Cannon make known the names of the members of the delega- tlon whom he claims were :present when the offer was made. "KEYHOLE STUFFED WITH RAGS 8t. Paul Domestic Ends Life by As- phyxiation. St. Paul,. Nov. 16.—Groping about in the dark for twenty minutes, afraid to strike a light because of the gas that filled the house, Frank E. Draper, auditor of the Great Northern rail- road, found the dead body of Hulda 8torer, domestic at the Draper home, lying acrossthe-bed in her room. She ‘had ‘been dead only a short time and the fact that she had stuffed the keyhole in the room full of rags and closed all the windows before turning on the gas made it evident that she had committed suicide. AGAIN THE FAIR CHARMER Mme. Steinhell Celebrates Acquittal of Murder Charge. Paris, Nov. 16.—The “Red Widow,” Marguerite Steinheil, became a merry ‘widow, it is learned, following her re: lease from the Conciergerie 8t. Lazar, after she had been acquitted for the | murder .of ker husband and stepmoth- er. The sombre prisoner once more became the fascinating charmer of the Villa Vert Logis. Mme. Steinheil's first request upon reaching the Hotel Terminus, where she spent the night, was for cham- ‘pagne. and sandwiches. Mme. Dran- MAY PREGIPITATE ger, the close friend of the released| widow, immediately dispatched.an au- tomobile - to her home. It brought back three bottles of rare wine and the-verdict of the jury was celebrat- ed. “Oh, how happy and contented I am,” was the way Mme. Steinhefl| summed up her feelings on the verdict. | 4 Meanwhile Parls is awaiting new. -sensations in the Steinheil case. CRISIS IN FINLAND Mattal Law Declared by Pro- Russian Senate. ; Helsingfors, Finland, Nov. 16.—The proclamation of the Finnish senate making Russian martial law applica- ble to Finland threatens to precipitate the: Russian-Finnish struggle which has been impending for a year. The senate, stuffed with Russlan represen- tatives, juggled into office when the Finnish members resigned rather than turn the country’s funds over to the cearis purely pro-Russian. ‘The martial law proclamation is considered the first step in the movement to wipe out PFionish independence. This step has taken away the breath of the National league of Finland, -i which is the- anti-Russian - organiz tion, and the cry is raised throughou e the country: “There i3 nothing to do for us but to fight as best we can.” There is no doubt that the Finns will make an attempt to stave off the swallowing up of their country by Russia, but there is some doubt whether they succeed. d HUNT FOR BOMB THROWER Detectives Seeking Man Who “Sought:| to Kill the Mintos. Calcutta, Nov. 16.—A score of secret service officers have been rushed to|] Ahmedabad to take up the search for the man who threw two bombs at the carriage in which Lord Minto, viceroy of India, and Lady Minto were driving LADY MINTO. through the streets. The officials at Ahmedabad have found two persons who saw the bomb thrower and they are endeavoring to apprehend the man and to ascertain whether any native organization was behind the plot. The attack on the Mintos has re- vived the ever present fear of an In-| dian uprising against British rule which has gathered strength for the past year. Similar attempts have been made in the past against Lord Kitch- ener, Sir Andrew Fraser, Lieutenant General Gargail and other officials. WHEN HER BACK AGHES. A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away. i Bemidji women know how the aches and pains that come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you.of the stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Bright’s dis- ease. Dodn’s Kidney Pills per- manently cure all these disorders. Here’s proof of it in a Bemidji woman’s words: Mrs. A. Van Vard, 1218 Bel- tramian Street, Bemidji, Minn., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills with satisfactory results and can truthfully recommend them to any- one suffering from kidney complaint. For some time I had a dull pain in the small of my back which caused me much discomfort. Other symp- toms showed that my kidneys were disordered and were the cause of my suffering. I atlength saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised for such complaints and deciding to try them, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. I used them carefully as directed and the pains soon dis-|. appeared and my kidneys became strong. I am confident that the re- lief I received from the use of Doan’s | Kidney Pills will prove permanent.” ‘ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 | cents.
