Nov. 14 —~Implicit obedi- enee by Engilneer John Cowley to orders of his superior may have caused the death of the rescuing party which went down into the §t. Paul mine yesterday afternoon. At the coronét's Ingyest, which began to- day, Cowley, who Is engineer of the main shaft, testified that he declined to-accedo to the demand of the persons standing at the top of his shaft that he at once lift the cage ‘containing ‘the rescuers. The reason he declined, he’ stated, was because he had been told by the third vein boss, Alexander Nosberg, to move the cage only In answer to the regular bell code. When the rescue party had been at the bottom of the éhaft some time without get- ting In communication with the engineer by the usual means, Martin Powers, Dr Howe and Herbert Lewis, the [atter a brother of one of the rescue party, rushed o Cowiey, so the engineer testified. They demanded that the cage be raised imme- dlately. Cowley refused, acting under prders from Nosberg, the witness told the roner's jury, For & space of time, which Cowley declares to have been perhaps ten minutes, he would not listen to their fran- tic appeals, but finally he referred the mat ter to John Quinby of the top cage. Quinby hesitated and as Machinist Chadester en- tered, Cowley asked Chadester what should be done. “Go ahead and raise It." answered Cha- doster, according’ to Cowléy's testimony; ‘nobody 18 alive down there.” Qowley then brought the cage to the top, but every. one of the men in the rescue party was elther dead or dying when they reached the to. Cowley defended himself on the stand by saying he bad received Nosberg's order to awsit the bell signal before moving the cage and that the three men who demanded that the cage be raised had no authority to tell what to do. According to Cowley, he feared in raising the cege he would risk injuring some ol the men below and. that he might leav. them without means of escape It he liftec the cage while they were not in it. Cowley doclarcd that after the final cage with men in it had been raised the cage was let down and raised five or six times, with the chances that some of the miners might reach the shaft. He testified he lowered and raised it slowly every time. One of the jurors asked why Cowley could not have raised the cage slowly when Powers, Howe and Lewls appealed. Nos. berg's orders again were glven ae an excuse. Previous to ehe final raising of the cage bearing the rescue party, Cowley sald the bell signals had been unusual and discon- certed. He recelved one signal of three bells to holst' away, which was followed almogt immédiately by a four-bell signal, mealting “hoist siowly.” At a helght of elght or nine feet the cage was stopped at @ ong:Dell slgnal and etaried up at another when came wiNix-Bell sigrial, “reverse the fan,'%.and then two bells, “lower.” Cowléy lowbred ihe cage in answer to the signal, the last jever sent from the Adcoméd members of the rescue party. The jury adjourned after Cowley, John Raisbeck, engineer in the air shaft, and several relatives of the dead in the rescue party had testified. The jurymen will mneet again tomorrow and more testimony- concerning Cowley's refusal to 1ift the cage will be heard. The inquest is being conducted by Dr. A. H. Malm of Princeton, the coroner, and by L. M. Eckert of Princeton, the Bureau county state attorney. The jurors are: Peter Delphig, mprshal; Timothy MeDon- ald, Tarmer; . Ci Thompson, lumber mer- chant; John Stenstrum, barber; Joseph Neidelgher, stock buyer, and W. 1. Kendall, deputy coroner.’ .

DEAN NOYES PROVES A GENIUS Gathered Disenrded Parts of Ma: Machines to Make Plant that Works Well — Making Stome Crosswalks. “To bulld An asphalt repalr p'ant that will astonish the sclentific engineering world,”" sald City Engineer Cralg, ‘‘you take a group of junk yards, an abandoned grain elevator, a dismantled alfalta mill, some old boards and older sheetiron and lection of etceteras. Gather these things all at one spot—then get Dean Noyes to assemble them Into a working whole. The result is a manufacturing plant such as you mee before you. Tt is without a fival in the world, and we can safely defy the universe to produce its equal. Why the Commercial elub boosters did not arranke to show It to the Japanese visitors I can- not understand.’ Mr. Cralg was speaking of the Omaha city asphalt repair plant, located on Nich- olas street, down In the bottoms, and he was showing Its efficlency and ex- plaining its strange and wonderful coh- struction to a party of newspaper men and city officlals. The explanation was amplified and details specified by Assistant City Engineer Campen. Dean Noyes, the superintendent and builder of the plant, modestly elucidated the particular pothts the engineer did not comprehend. They are trained In regularity and plumb-line processes. While Noyes has In overflow- ing measure the Yankee “knack” of coh- triving unique combinations of common things and making them do work they were never intended for, The late city engineer, Andrew Rose- er, was of an original turn of mind himself, with a grent deal of practioal wility to seé his original notions worked out. To save money and have the ity repair work on asphalt streets done where needed, and when needed, without the necessity of outside, expensive help, he succeeded in having a plant bulit and owned by the city, to do the work. This plant was regular ‘and standard in its features, but the idea of working over the old aephalt, taken from streets that are to be repaved, had not been given & practical trial during his lifetime. How Noyes Bullt His Plant. During the last summer Dean Noyés, who had heen superintendent of the plant under Andrew Rosewater, began to gather material together In furtherance of the belief that old asphalt could be crushed, ground up and worked over, at small cost, for the purpose of street repair work. He secured a grinder that was originally bulit for an alfalfa mill and sét # up in the city yard. On this he bullt an ele- vator, having small buckets attached to a belt, such as 18 used for elevating grain. With some tinkering and resstting of the cast-off machinery he succeeded In developing & machine, or- combination of machinery. that crushed the old asphalt fine enough for his purpose. He has had the thing working successfully since Oc- tober 7, last. “You attempt to crush s plece of tafty by slow pressur says Mr. Noyes, “and you simply make it pulpy and sticky with- out pulverizing it. But hit it smartly with ® hammer and you smesh it into small tragmeuts at once. So with old asphalt. The teeth in the grinder must be strohg enough and must be turned fast énou to smash and pulverize the asphalt ehun| Tlls machine will do the work as fast @s two men can feed it when running at full speed and with much less engine power than any regular machine for the purpose that we can hear of."” Having got bis crusher working in good shope, much beynod the promise of its unbusinesslike - appearance, he rigged up @ cooking tank with bricks wna old sheet steel from various sorap neaps and junk yards. At one enl of this he attached an clcvator simWar to the one that carries the asphalt refuse into tme crusher. To this the pulverized material {8 brought and fed, being elevated into ‘the heating tank. Herp it 1s turned over and over by a worm- like mixer, also of home-made construe- tion. Quick fires are kept golng under this mixer, but burning of the material is prevented by u jet that shoots hot steam continually Into the mixXer and keeps It damp and of the propdr comsistency. More Serap Iron Effick v, From this mixer over the hot fire the it drops Into a second mixing box, also made of scrap pleces. On arriving In this see. ond mixer 3 per cent of pure asphait ls added, in fluld form., Thia 1is called “sweetening” by r. Noyes, and adds just the element of new life needed to make the worked-ovr asphalt pliabl and give it renewed “setting” qualities. It 18 shoveled directly from here Into the ecity wagons and taken wherever needed for patohing largo or small holes In the paved streets. ‘The machine is capable of turning out twelve loads a day, going full speed, but e GOLD DUST will take the grime and smut, grease and dirt from your pots and pans in a twinkling, leaving them as clean as when new GOLD DUST is so far ahead of soap for cleaning pots and pans, that the woman who does not use it is really do- ing about twice as much work as merely cleans off the surface, germs of decdy which accumulate on pots, pans which are in constant use.

Formerly the old asphalt torn from the streeis when repaving was done whs used to fill holes in macadamized and and dirst streets, with unsatisfactory results. Today, thanks to the junk heaps and the man who saw finished machinery in thelr compontn. parts, the oity is saving blg money and making money, too. The Noyes creation turns out enough re- made asphalt every day, when working full time, to pave 80 yards of street two irches deep. Counting all costs of haul- ing to dnd from the yard and all labor cost at the plant, the expense of the 300 yards is $57.7. Week In and week out the cost of the product Is about 21 cents a yard, laid on the street, but it we add the cost of getiing the old aspnalt to the ety yard the cost reaches 37 cents a yard i elght {For. 1's product the eity asphait repair plant collzets $1.60 a yard from the street rallway company or any private contractor it may do patching for. These figures will indicate that the eity eogineer and his assisiants have ground for their boast that Dean Noyes and his hand-made plant of rejuvenated gérap material are well worth a visit from |anybody Interested in effective engineering at small cost. In fact, all this plant cost the city of Omaha was tne tabor expense of putting it together. Its success has cohvinced the city engineer and all others who have seen |t that great sums can be saved the city In & series of years by {bullding a real plant to grind up the old asphalt and make It do duty again. When relald It stands the wear s well as new #aphalt to all intents and purposes. Complete Testing Laboratory. The chemist of (he city engineer's de- partment/ Henry Milburn, also has his office and laboratory at the asphalt repai: yard. It is a complote laboratory of Its kind, too. Here all materials are sclentifie- ally tested, such as sard, cement, asphalt, everything that enters into street construo- ton. Mr. Milburn demonstrated for his | visitors, by a testing n achine, that cement deterlorates to an apprecidble degree shortly after it has been lald and set | Later it 1s stronger, and after a term ot years has reached its full resisting power. There is one part of Mr. Milburn’s labor- atory equipment which would gladden the heart of many a prige fighter who has ad- vunced a claim of having been countsd out too quick. It Is a sort of perpetual motioh contrivance, with a pointer that swings backward and forward, ticking off the seconds with a regularity that cannot be gainsald. “It beats a watch all to pieces,” says the city chemist, and the obeerver will readily aggbe that It does. Making Stone Crosswalks, Across the street from the asphalt repalr plant the eity engineer has esiablished an entirely new industry as a feature of his department. This s the construction ot stone crosswalks, also in charge of Mr. Noy It has not been In operation long, but promt great results. Here cement and broken: stone, is made Into sections of oroas®alk five feot long, thrée feet wide, sloplng from five inches In thickness at the center to three inches at the outer edges. Some twenty-five of these new orosswalks have already been lald on un- paved streets In different sections of the elty, and more are being put out every week. It Is but a question of a few years until not a wooden crosswalk will be left. Assistant. City Engineer Campen, talking of the new crosswalks, d: “We can manufacture and lay them for just about the first cost of the lumber in wooden crosswalks. They are practically Inde- structible, and when any street is paved, later on, we can take up the walks and place them at other locations.” That the stone - crosswalk Innovation promises well will be secn from the fol- lowing figures, showing lumber and nails used in crosswalk construction during six months of the present year: January, 2,608 feet lumber and 62 pounds of nalls; February, 8,010 feet lumber, 184 pounds nalls; Mareh, 26,481 feet lumber, 588 pounds nails; April, 83,415 feet lumber, 716 pounds na May, 20527 feet lumber, 467 pounds nal June, 19,887 feet lumber, 484 pounds nafls. This lumber for crosswalks cost $2.75 a thousand, at the cheapest price, and the walks had to be renewed often within a year or two, — WHY VOIE COMES IN SLOWLY (Continued from First Page.) o iR ture convenes and thus avold the fight Which occurreo before the late legisiature.

Mayor Love piclons. Another hiteh has occurred In the pro- Pposed. profit-sharing agreement between the ity and the traction company and Mayor Love has asked a committee from the Com- mercial club to pass on the articles pre- pared and see if the city is to come out At the little end of the horn. The city, offi- clals are 50 suspicious of the traction com- pahy doing things to the city that when some one started the report there was a Joker in the proposed agreement it was &enerally belleved, and at once the mayor asked the Commercial club committee to pass on it. In the meantime there is a lot of sentiment for a vote of the people on the agreement, as It proposes to bind the elty for a period of fifteen years, so it is very probable fo agreement will be reached unless the matter is left to the voters. Many prominent men, including County Attorney Tyrrell, object to the agreement because the city now has authority to regulate the company as well as levy an occupation tax to suit itself. He also objects to the eity becoming a partner In a street rallway company. POWER PROJECT IN CUSTER F. M. Currie Heads Scheme to Har- ness North Loup River. BROKEN BOW, Neb,, Nov. 4.—(Special.) ~A blg project is under way to harness the North Loup river so that it will develop a 23,000-horse power. Frank M. Currle is at the head of the enterprise and from present indications will make a success of it. The river at Burwell makes a loup of several miles, the distance from channel to channel being three miles. A fall of forty-two feet can be had between these two polnts, furnishing a tremendous amount of horse power. Expert engineers are now At work on the project and soon as w report is submitted a company will be or- ganized with Mr. Currle at its head. It will be the purpose of the company to develop power for public and private plants, and not apply for a franchise to any of the towna it may furnish power to. The towns most benefited by the enterprise will be Broken Bow, Arcadia, Bargent, Burwell, Ord and Comstock. It is estimated that the company can fully supply those towns and then have & surplus of 50 horse power. The project will probably cost from $150,000 to $200,000. Weork of Fire Marshal. MITCHELL, 8.

The steam engine, applied to steamships ana rallway locomotives, brought the people of different parts of the world Into one community, The tele- the whole world to know in one moment ihe event of the moment before. Photography has visualized the current his- tory of the uour and has brought before every eye the wonders of the universe. Fhowgraphy has taken an important po- sition In journalism, and it is becoming inore and more 1o be used as a vehicie for transmitting ordinary intelligence. 1irst the illustrated magizines and news- Papers, by the use of half-tone photo- sraphs on metal plates, were able to give their readers a truthful reproduction of the features of great men and women con- cerned with important events. So common i8 this use of photography that the aver- age American child is able to recognize &t & giance the portrait of any notable person or the piciure of the scene of any eat event, Supplementing this jJournalistic feat of Spreading visual information broadcast, has come the moving picture machine. Now the ordinary man in the streets not only recognizes the portrait of the kngiish King or the German Kmperor at a giance, but be also knows just how kdward V1 lifts his hat 10 & lady and just how William 1l acknowledges the salute of an officer. The people of Vinton, la., the court ladies of Peking, the bazaar hangers-on of Cal- cutta, and the residents of Meibourne all have seen Wilbur Wright flying through the air in his aeropiane. Within a few weeks after the news came that the North Pole had at last been found the world saw the stars and stripes at the top of the world. Photography plays 1ts part in every event of the time, No other habit has grown so rapidly in America as that of amateur photo- giaphy. Commercial photography has kept pace and the business of manufacturing and distributing photographic supplies has come to be one of the most important in the country. The people 0f the United States in 180 spent $20,00000 for photo- sraphs and photographic apparatus and materials. Conservative men in the trade estimate that the expenditure for 199 will be at least §75,00,00. One firm has made over 17,00,00 lenses since 1862, and in the few years that the high priced, anastig- matic lenses have been on the market, this same concern has turned out over a mil- lion of them. These lenses sell for more money than the best cameras fitted with ordinary leanses, and it Is evident that many amateurs, as well as professionals, demand them. One corporation devoted to the photographic supply business in its last annual statement reported property worth $22,00000. The profits for the year, after allowing & heavy percentage for depreci- ation, were more than $7,00,000 As $1,000,000 was devoted to improvements, the stock- holders were paid a handsome d idend and $2,000,00 was retalned as surplus. The city now has a photographic supply business which ranks high In the list of retall money: rners. Inquiry at any one of these retall stores will discover the fact that the amateur photographer Is a veritable slave to his machine. While there are a great many persons who pur- chase cameras, only to throw them away after the “new” is worn off, the average kodak flend, once in the clutches of the habit, never recovers. He snapshots on to bis grave. Perhaps no other single invention has served as many widely differing purposes as has the photographic camera. It has been of incalculable aid to science. The astronomer has captured on photographio plates thousands of the secrets of the stars which would have been forever hidden from the human eye. The bacter- lologlst has used the photograph in the study and identification of germs and thereby has helped onward the progress of modern medical sciense. The nature student has used the camera to interpret afd explain his discoveries and observa- tions to the world. The soldler has applied the photographic camera to the science of war, and by using the telephoto lense camera in connection with airships It will be practically impossible for an enemy to mask a daylight movement. The printer has welcomed the photograph as the most substantial enhancement to the range and value of printing since Guttenberg first Qiscovered “the art preservative of all arts.” The most interesting phase of the art of photography is the moving picture. The clnemetograph machine is in use in every alvilized country in the world, and in many which are not considered to be clviliznd. It is the most ubiquitous form of afuse- local Popular Photography. ment in the world. It appeals with equal force to the educated and to the illiterate, to the young and to the old, to men and to women. It has revolutionized the amuse- ment busines in Amerioan cities. In China It has worked a social revolution by bring- ing women and men together on a plane of equality for the first time in'centuries. In Indla it has been used In political prop- in bringing about political revolution. In Europe it has transformed the character of the theater and has enlisted In its sup- port the highest dramatic talent of the day In any city in the world qne can repalr to the moving pleture theater, seat him- self in a comfortable chair and look upsn the actions of the people of all the world, real and unreal, true and untrue. He may see the boiling lava in the throat of a Hawallan volcano, without experiencing any of the sufferings of the asbetos-olad photographer who risked the fires of the Jaws of hell to make the film. He may see the lions of the African jungle coming down by night to drink at the water hole, without having a tremor of sympathetie fear for the safety of the photographer who took his life within ten steps of the Mirg of beasts to obtain this flashlignt photograph. Then, too, he may see pictures whose only value is to be found in their capacity for measuring the skill of ingentous fakirs. For instance, one may see a moving pic ture of Theodore Roosevelt lion hunting i Africa. The plcture was made In Chicago. An enterprising fllm maker purchased a | decrepit lon from a “busted” oircus. A Wild bit of African jungle was rigged up | in & back, yard, surrounded by & lion-tight fence, twelve feet high. The T. R. bag- gage was brought in, T. R. came ashore, shook hands with everybody and did evemy- thing one might expect the real T. R. (o do. Beaters had been engaged from among the denlzens of South Chicago. A few bird shot fired into the king of beasts quick- ened his temper and it was not long until there was a very real lion hunt in proj ress, with a score of lilinois native beaters scared within an inch of their lives. But the llon was shot, skinned and his carcass left for the birds of prey. T. R. kept the center of the stage all the time. Out on the film cireuit the picture attracted great attention. Prize fighting 1s ndw prohibited in the greater part of the world, but prize fight moving pictures are to be seen everywhere. The films taken of the Burns-Johnson fight in Australia earned more money than | any actual prize fight ever did. The peo- Ple of the Atlantic coast citles saw the recent Johnson-Ketchel fight within five days after It had actually taken place in San Francisco. The declding game of the| champlonship base ball series between Pittsburg and Detroit is being played over again on the canvass screens of a thousand b-cent theaters. Photography, however, has not proved itself 0 be a handmaiden of truth. A clever fakir in the photographic business can produce some astonishing effects. A recent photograph showed the passengers landing from a Transatlantic liner in the middle of North river and walking on the water to the shore of Manhattan island. Photographers in their dark rooms, em- ploying none but mechanical devices, have reproduced over and over again spirlt photographs such as have been used to support the contentions of those who claim to have communication with the wpirit world. The largest photograph ever made Is in Germany. It 1s a panoramic picture of | the bay of Naples and Is forty feet long | by flve feet wide. It required a “Ferrls | wheel” forty-one feet In circumference to | develop It. The washing tank was fifty feet long, more than six feet wide and | over two feet deep. No dark room large | enough for the task was available and a| dark, cloudy night served the purpose. | Elghty thousand gallons of water was re-| quired to wash the print. It was enlarged from six smaller pictures. The smallest photographs taken are to be found in mi- croscopic laboratories, and microscopes must be used to distingulsh them from mere black points upon the white paper background. Photography 1s becoming increasingly popular and its uses are being multiplied from year to year. It is impossible to pre- | dict its future, but its very existence Is assurance that all posterity will know this age better than we know any age of the| past. Our fathers bequeathed to us thelr written word and their sculptured monu- ments. We will bequeath to_our children living pletures of ourselves, moving plo- tures of our deeds and, with the aid of the phonograph, the very expression of our volces. By Frederick J.

Canada and Crary went over to the tree, and seeing nothing that could give any clue were about to go away, when Mr. Canada espled two fragments of an en- velope. The envelope bore the postmark of Waco, Tex., and the recelving mark of Kansas City. The greater part of the nams on the envelope had been torn away, but there was left enough of it to distinguish the “—gware, Kansas City, Mo., Gen Del." Crary suggested throwing the envelops away, but Canada, with the astuteness of many years, concluded that he would keep it. He placed It in his pocket. There was nothing to Indicate from whom it came or who the portion of the name might Indicate. But it was a olue. The Fee has already shown In its re- port of the trial that Miss Evans of Waco identified the envelope as one that had been addressed by her to Frank Grigware. It was this envelope that proved Gri ware had been on the ground In the viein- ity of the robbery a day or two prior to that event.
