Wherefor there WAS & great gathering of notables, a presi- dent, cabinet officers, ambassadors, jur- 1. grave and reverend senators, frivolous representatives jn congress, and a number of simple newspaper men, gathered from many states of the unfon. Each and all bore off a remembrance of the happy event In the shape of & souvenir silver ash re- celver, crossed by the mystic gridiron. The fun' started almost as soon as the guests were spated, with a tangle over the Inauguration of the new president of the club, Scott (. None, editor of the Wash- Ington Herald; for, entering untimely upon the scene, came Kl Preridente Zelaya, with his army, composed of half a dozen gen- erals in Fclstaffian uniforms, and one lone private. Zelaya, looking for a job, had picked out the presidercy of the Gridiron club as suitable, and was ejected only by the threat that Secretary Knox was ap- proaching. “Big Stiek” Back Hom: Scarcely had peace and quiet been re- stored when another Interruption came, when (o the strains of the Marselliaise, entered the “Back From Elba club” clad Napoleonic uniforms, and including per- nifications of public men who have been fdentified - by ‘commoti report with the movement to return Roosevelt to the White House. The “Big Stick’ figured in Ahis, and In.the fierce glare of the electric light and In defiance of all rules of secret orders, and in the presence of several hundred “Ouitlanders” were dragged forth and duly initiated the two unfortunate neophytes of the Gridiron club, George Edmund Miller, resldent correspondent of the Detroit News, and John Callan O'Laughlin, of the Chicago Tribune. They were made to forswear all of the policies of their respective newspapers and to’pledge themselves to be on the pler to welcome “The Only One when he returned from Africa—all this to the chant of “When Salllng Home Again; Hur- Cabin, or Life Amon ments,” s Subject of a Humorous Skit—Big Stiek Back Home. The insurgents got their grilling, too; when between courses was rendered an af- tecting scene from Uncle Tom's Cabin, for his occasfon described as “Uncle Joe's CR'p. or Life Among the Insurgents.” A presentment of Speaker Cannon' was the clever lawyer “Marks”; another of Whip Dwight. was the brutal overseer “Legree’ and various prominent insurgents figured as “Uucle Tom" and his fellow slaves, and “Little Eva. They were roughly treated, told that they had been deprived of all patronage; and their, appeals to the speaker to ‘resign” were met by demands for their return to the republican caucus.

There was an under secretary and a “Secrétary of Nearsighted Affairs and one of “Farsighted Affairs," and theré -was a' wonderful exhibition of “Shirt Sleeve, diplomiicy,” resulting in.the summary settlement of the Nicaraguan question and the Chinese railroad imbrogtio and other matters that have engaged the attention of the diplomatic branch of the government ‘for the last few monthe.

SEWARD, Alaska, Feb. 6.—The Alaska Steamship company's steamship Faralon is & total wreck on a reef near Ilamma Bay and six members of its crew are be- lleved to have perished In an attempt to obtain rellef for the passengers. The pas- sengers and other members of the crew ar- rived here yesterday aboard the steamer Victoria by which they were rescued Feb- ruary 3, after passing nearly a month en- camped In weather frequently forty de- grees below zero. The Farralon ran to its doom on January 5, during a snowstorm. It struck solidly and it was soon realized there was no hope for it. The tide was rising and sgon the vessel was listing badly. There was no sea, however, and the passengers and crew managed to take to the boats with- out great difficulty. It also was possible to get supplies and some heavy clothing and bedding ashore, and the castaways went into camp under comfortable condi- tions. On January 7 the second mate, Guss Swanson and five sallors, started in a small boat for Kodiak, where they expected to connect with one of the other vessels of the Alaska Steamship eompany. - Since then these men have not been heard from. The Victoria immediately will proceed on its way to Seattle. The Farralon salled from Valdez January 2 for Kodiak. It was a wooden screw steamer of seventy- five gross tons, was commanded by Cap- tain J. C. Hunter and carried a crew of twenty-two officers and men and a few passenger: Price of Coal Must Be Raised, Says Lewis Miners’ Leader Insists that Higher Wages and Safety Appliances Mean Advance in Cos! TOLEDO, O., Feb. 6.—A substantial in- crease of wages of the mine workers of this country is the only basis upon which industrial peace can best be established in the mining Industry, on and after April 1, next. This was the final declaration of Pres!- dent Thomas L. Lewls, of the United States mine workers, before he left to- night. He would not discuss his plans for bringing «bout an agreement with the operators, but made it evident that he had not glven up hope of a settlement. Talk that a special national convention of miners would be called or a referendum vote taken to readiust the situation was iven conslderable credence, but this Pres- fdent Lewis sald, was speculation. “Mine owners recognize that mine work- ers are entitled’to an advance In wages, and that also they will have to provide additional safety appliances, he sald. ‘“This means added cost of production and the American people and the coal con- suming interests, willingly or otherwise will be compelled to pay a higher price for fuel.” The day developed nothing to change apparently the situation resulting from the deadlock conference of miners and oper- ators last night. Of the contesting forces only twenty members of the international executive board remained here today. They left tonight after an all day session. It was announced that only organization matters were considered and that the wage Bcale matter was not discussed. IM ex ican Packers' to Reorganize Owners of National Will Furnish Funds Necessary to Put Cor- poration on Its Feet. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 6.—All of the safes and books of the Mexican National Pack- ing company were dlaced under court s today and will remain In accessible until & complete inventory of the property of the concern is made by the interventor. Henry Dekay, who vesterday was ap- pointed recelver by a Mexican court for the company and who had previously been appointed by a New Jersey court, opened a new set of books today and announced that the business of the firm would con- tinue uninterrupted. H. P. Chesley, vice-president and gen- eral manager of the packing corporation, stated this afternoon that he had recelved a number of cablegrams from London say- ing that representatives of strong interests there had expressed willingness to sup- port a plan for reorganization with all the capital required. CONCESSIONS FOR SWITCHMEN Twenty-Seven Working Rules Are Adjusted at Comferemce in Chicago. CHICAGO, Feb. 6.~The switchmen of thirteen rallroads in the Chicago district were refused an increase In wages, but were glven several concessions In the work- ing rules as the result of a conference be- tween representatives of the Brotherhood of Rallroad Trainmen apd the general managers of the railroads interested, which ended today. Another conference between the two bod- les will be held at a later date at which time the result of the vote will be an- nounced. ' Forty working rules ' were dis- cussed and twenty-seven were adjusted by mutual consent. Two others were withdrawn by the switchmen and eleven were left unsettled.

Issue IOWA MAN HAS NEGATIVE He Says Special Interests Would Control it and that Any Party Proposing it Would Be Defeated. NEW YORS, Feb. 6—~Bdward B. Vree- land, chairman of the congressional com- mittee on banking and currency, and Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the ject of a United States bank. Mr. Shaw, speaking at the Republican club, opposed a central bank, saying that it would bo impossible to keep the con- trol of such a bank out of the hands of those who control the Standard Ol com- pany and United States Steel corporation. Of the two he preferred Morgan control. “Special interesis,” continued Mr. Shaw, “are in control of financial conditions now and I admit it. It is an irresponaible con- trol. They are accountable to nobody for it. We cannot escape cantralization. You have it today in the bank belonging to these groups and Interests. Nevertheless, these groups and interests cannot provide the ways and means to avold panics or avold them when they do arise. Central banks work well In Burope, but they would noy work well here under our dual form of government—federal and state. I assert that the political party that puts the con- trol of any centralized commercial finan- clal power lke a central bank into the hands of any group of men in New York will never again carry an election.’ The country will not tolerate it."" Mr. Shaw belleves the remedy for pres- ent financial flls must lie in an improv ment on existing currency and banking laws and not in a central bank. Chairman Vreeland approved a central bank and the impression was obtained that the report on currency and banking would contain & recommendation favoring suéh an institution. He Insisted that If such a bank were established safeguards would be placed about it sufficlent to make it impossible for any group of fiman- clers or politicians to exercise any control over the business. Referring to Mr. Shaw’ preferred Morgan control, come, Mr. Vreeland sald: “We should not have much to gain if either group were In control, but we could not be worse off than we are now.’ Miss Hill Makes Debut at Ball Ambassador and Wife Introduce Daughter to Berlin Society at Brilliant Function. remark that he it control must BERLIN, Feb. 6.—American Ambassador David Jayne Hill and Mrs. Hill gave one of the largest balls of the season at the Hotel Adlon last night to introduce their daughter, Miss Katherine Hill, intc soclety.

One of the “big" pleces of work is to be the completion of double tracking between Red Oak and Balfour, which section is the only stretch between Chicago and Pacific Junction lacking double tracks, and it {s expected the entire system will operate with double tracks just as soon as the work can be ac- complished. The first of the twnty crews ordered out went down the south branch yesterday and will be employed In bridge building near Conway for some time. A large number of new bridges are to be bullt the coming season, repracing the wooden bridges with the latest type of steel and cement construction.

ONE MAN MAKES HIS ESCAPE Hungarian Evades Noxious Gases by Crawling Quarter of Mile—Thou- sand Men in Adjoining Mine Hear Concussion. INDIANA, Pa, Feb, 6—Ten Hungarians and one American met death In a gas ex- plosion yesterday in the No. 2 stope of the Emest mine of the Jefferson and Clear- fleld Coal company, five miles north of this ‘place. The.explogion, occurred in a heading where twelve.workmen were lo- cated and one of thess, Andrew Krazcer escaped by crawling .a quarter of.w mile to evade the noxious gases. His inabllity to speak English prevented a lucid explana- tion of the cause of the explosion.:;When he saw the lights of the rescuers.he moaned and tried to crawl. He suffered chiefly from the effects of after damp. The. posi- tion of the bodles showed the men had made desperate efforts to crawl away from the heading. How Krazcer escaped cannot be learned. The only Intelligible signs he makes are of crawling. When he recovers from fright and exhaustion it fs thought he may be able to tell of the accident. One hundred and ten men, working in the same stope escaped through other head- ings of the mine although they were held back for about ten hours by the black damp until a rescue party reached them. One thousand other men working in ad- joining mines within a radlus of three miles, who heard the concussion paid no heed to it. The rescue party of twelve mine bosses went into the mine about 9:80 this morning, shortly after the accident and when they came out about § o'clock they brought with them the dead bodles and announced that there was no one else in the mine. The bodies, blackened by flames, were immed- iately sent to the homes of the unfortunates and the funeral will be held tomorrow. The Inquest will be held Monday. Michael Harrington, the only American among the dead was a son of John Har- rington, foreman of the mine. The younger | man, acting as assistant to his father, was directing the work on the heading when the explosion occurred. SEARCH FOR DEAD AT CHERRY Conditions in Mine Are Dangerous and Stench is Inereasing. CHERRY, Ill, Feb. ¢.—Indications last night are that no more bodles will be re- covered from the St. Paul mine before the middle of next week. A large number of men are making every effort to reach the dead miners and relleve the suspense of anxious women, who seem unable to recon- clle themselves until thelr hugbands and sons are buried tn due fofm. i | The body .recovered from the mine yes |terday was burled today at Ladd. Al- though the miner was identified officially by his check number, as Mastro Liirio, relatives of Louls Costl took charge of the body. These relatives asserted that he was Costl after looking at his stock- ings, which were like those worn by hund- reds of miners. They diséarded the watch, notebook, queer coat and check number as evidence, saying that he must have bor- rowed them. As no one claimed the body | Liirto the burfal was made by Costi's | relatives under the auspices of a lodge to which both Costl and Llirlo belonged. There was no funeral except a short prayer in the mule stable.

Woman’s Work Activities of the Organised | Hodies Along the Lines of Un- ertaking of Comcern to Women. The following local board for the enter- tainment of the sixteenth annual conven- tion of the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs at Tecumseh next October, has been announced: Local chairman, Mrs, Anna L. Apperson; entertainment, Mrs. Margaret E. Stewart; reception, M#s, Jessie D. Thurber; information, Mrs. A. O. Corbin; usher , Mrs. Clarence E. Smith; finance, Mrs. N. J. Glasson; pres: Mrs. Charles Pool, Mrs, P. A. Brundag Two new clubs have made. application for membership in the state federation: Sorosis of Atkinson and the Benson Women's club., The Hastings Women's club recently celebrated its fourth birth- day anniversary, with Mrs. Sewall as toastmistress. The following toasts were responded to: “What of the Hour,” Mrs. Dutton; “The Soctety Column,” Miss Hamot; “How to Manage a Husband," Mrs. Hartigan. Luncheon was served at 11 o'clock, In the Elks' club rooms and was followed by a musical program which was given by Miss Isabelle Hal- langer, Loule Sheasby, Miss Phyla Wat- [son and Mrs. Anna Breede Cline. They have elected their new officers with Mrs. Ragan and Mrs. Falconer as joint presidents. Mrs. Ragan is Governor Shallenberger's sister. The forestry committee of the state has been highly commended for its fine work and committee plans, by Mrs. F. W. Ger- ard of Norwalk, Conn. Mrs. Gerard read a report of the Nebraska committee at a conference o0f the new England Women's club in Boston on February 1. Among other things she reported that Prof. Graves, formerly of the Yale for- estry.school and recently succeeding Mr. Pinchot as chief of the United States forestry bureau, is of the opinion that if the forest conservation movement Is carried on it will be because of the general federation of women's clubs. The general federation is interested in the matter and asks all state federations of clubs to work for the movement. ’ —_— The following list has been announced as delegates from the state clubs directly affillated with the general federation, who expect to attend the Cincinnatl bien- nlal in May: Mrs, L. G. Simon of Sidney, Mrs, Gist of Falls City, Mrs, J. M. Paul of St. Paul. Mrs., Max Hosteller of Shel- ton, Mrs. L. 1. Cowan of Ashland and Mrs. W. H, Davidson of Springfield. A number of clubs In the state are con- sidering the advisability of joining the general federation as individual clubs, In a number of cascs, where one of the mem- bers wishes to go to a blennial, the club member, herself, is paying the fee of $2.50 in order to have a seat at the bien- nial sessfons. This is a particularly for- tunate arrangement for the club as the club president, in this way, obtalns for the club the blennial report and all com- munications, and the club member who pays the fee is equally fortunate in thus being able to have a seat and volce in the delegation. The club, itself, profits In that each member attending the biennial can take more home to her individual club, than one who merely gets the report through the sister delegates at the state meeting. Firsthand information Is always more interesting. The general federation does not consider applications made later than sixty days previous to the biennial meeting. Nebraska clubs must make appli- cation through Mrs, H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln. / In the recent conference of governors at Washingten the subjects that came up for ¢lscussion were almost all perfectly fa- Jllar to the elub women of the land. Con- servation, child labor, employer's ilability, waterways, these and many other things have been the subject of study In the clubs before there was general agitation of these and it cannot be denled that they have had a part at least in arousing public interest and educating men to the necessity of doing something. It is sald that the woman's club movement Is on the deeline and in proof of this the fact is cited that clubs feat. There appears to be a strong senti- ment in favor of the plan, which has been endorsed by the Business Men's club, and are no longer dabbling In public matters and that newspaper accounts of their spec- tacular actions are only occasional nowa- days. Admitting the truth of these facts certainly does not prove the decline of the club movement, but rather that it is settling down to be & definite recognized force., an accepted institution. The novelty of women doing aggressive public work is wearing off and what would have been counted spectacular ten or even five years ago Is passed today as a matter of course. Furthermore, there is no longer the neces- sity for women doing spectacular things that there was a few years ago; their agitation has had its effect, as illustrated in the conference of governors, They have established for themeelves a recognized place in the public life of the land and their councll accomplishes today what cculd only have been done by aggressive action a few vears ago. More and more the club of today is settling down to study and in the doing and the studying of these great problems they have come to realiza thé neceesity of intelligent equipment and they ure fitting themselves .for advisory work, and alsq, it cannot be denfed, for the time when they shall be privileged to act directly instead of indirectly. Women have been charged with being superficial. and hysterical; of allowing themselves to be guided by sentiment in- §teads ofrlogic. In turn they have retorted that the world Is sadly In need of more senttment and have bent their energles to the development of the juvenile court to prove the feasibility of the theory. Certainly those who are in touch cannot say that the club movement is on the lecline, but even If it. were, it has ac- complished a work that must grow into a splendid substitute. The woman's club is changing certainly. It has been a school for the woman of mature years. It has trained her through the elementary stages and each year is graduating its members equipped to carry on the larger work. Among these club graduates are many specialists, but while all may not be that all haye at least been developed to the extent of their capacity. Club women have learned well the value of being taught to think, and having learned the lesson them- selves, they are in turn teaching it to others.
