DISASTER IS A USE FOUR HUNDRED MEN ARE BURIED DEEP UNDER EARTH. SIGNALS GOME FROM BELOW However, There is Great Fear That All Who Are Entombed Will Be Lost. Cherry. 111.— Nearly 400 limban be ings. men and boys, it is now believed, are dead or perishing in the St. Paul mine here, where an explosion occur red on Saturday, though experts, who succeeded in penetrating the smoke tilled air shaft to a depth of ”00 feet late Sunday, returned with a ray of hope for the griefstricken relatives of the entombed men. That the tire has been extinguished was the conclusion of mining experts and inspectors sent here hv Governor Deneen to investigate the calamity and the cause. For more than thirty hours the pri soners have been cut on from fresh air and undoubtedly have been sub jected to smoke-filled veins. That life could exist under such conditions is doubted by many, but because no trace of high temperature was found in the depths of the mine Sunday night, friends of the miners and even of those of the company here, hope that the victims may have found safety in remote recesses of the mine. A. J. Earling. president of the Chi cage. Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, who has not slept since arriving on the scene of the catastrophe, received an encouraging report after heroic efforts had been made Sunday to open the mine for the release of the en tombed men. or the discovery of the much feared mass of dead. At a late hour Sunday night the air shaft in the mine had been sealed tightly where it was opened during the day. Opening of the main siiaft is expected to begin at 0 o'clock Monday morning. It is expected the mine inspectors w 11 call for more volunteers from the miners who are acquainted with the plan of the mine. Oxygen apparatus for a sufficient crew to make a suc cessful exploration in the main shaft has been ordered and is expected to reach here early in the (lav. Five n en will be ready to go into the shaft a;} soon as the seals have been broken, provided conditions are safe. The explorers w>ll be sent into the mine in the regular cage. This plan, was adopted because the bucket scheme was found impracticable, in sofar as the movements of the men below were concerned. They could not get out of the bucket. From the son of one of the missing miners, a young man named John Reid, the railroad president heard that a concussion of the earth had been felt by farmers half a mile south of the main shaft. The report was sent to Henry Burke, an official of tire mining company. Burke rushed to President Earling in the office of the ! company. ''I’ve heard signals from the men,” he said excitedly. 'What do you mean?” asked the railroad president. “What signal?" “John Reid’s boy said that he and farmers whose land is over the south ern end of the mine felt several con cussions of the earth this afternoon. There were several shocks, and the men who felt them are convinced they were shots fired by the imprisoned miners and that they were meant for an assurance that at least some of them live.

Prosecution’s Chain of Evidence Bro ken—New Investigation May Be Ordered. Paris.:—The testimony Wednesday in the trial of Mme. Steinheil, charged with the murder of her husband and her stepmother, was distinctly favor able to the defendant. Marietta Wolf, the cook in the Stein heil household, and her son, Alexan dre. whose appearance was awaited with profound interest, threw no new light on the mystery, but by a further mass of contradictions strengthened the impression in the accused wom an's favor.

TRADE SCHOOLS ARE URGED Industrial Education Is Advocated in Report Made to Federation of Labor Convention. Toronto. Ont. — Organized labor's attitude on the vital question of industrial education was set forth in a report to the convention of the American Federation of Labor by the special committee appointed by au thority of the Denver convention to investigate the subject. The committee, of which John Mit chell is chairman, held three meetings during the year in New York, Wash ington and Toronto. "It is believed,” says the report, “that the future welfare of America largely depends on the industrial training of our workers and protect ing them. The inquiries of the com mittee seem to indicate that if the American workman is to maintain the high standard of efficiency, the boys and girls of the country must have an opportunity to acquire educated hands and brains, such as may enable them to earn a living in a seft-selected vo cation and acquire an intelligent un derstanding of the duties of good citi zenship. “We favor the establishment of schools in connection with the public school system at which pupils be tween the ages of 14 and 16 may be taught the principles of the trades, not necessarily in separate buildings, but in separate schools adapted to this particular education and by com petent and trained teachers. Toronto, Ont.—If President Samuel Gompers, Vice-President John Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor event ually have to serve jail sentences for contempt of court it will not be due to lack of support from trades unionists.

Hall, 17 years old, by his father Wil liam J. Hall, a furniture dealer of Louisville. John R. Tucker, negro chauffeur of an automobile in which the bandit tried to make his escape, was also wounded and may die. After an exciting chase down the Ohio river by a motor boat full of po lice, the bandit was captured. The prisoner was saved from a mob which had gathered to lynch him, only by a ruse.

Turning down the river bank, a distance perhaps of two blocks, the youth ran with the speed of a deer. He quickly appropriated a skiff at the dock and was on his way to the Ken I tucky side before the frightened citi zens of New Albany knew what had transpired. An alarm was given through a mega phone on a dredge-boat and in a short: time the police of the little city had started in pursuit in a fast motor boat, capturing their man. and had brought him to shorfi. only to confront the new peril of a lynching. By a clever ruse, however. Capt. Adams of the police stood off the crowd of 200 which crowded around the dock as the police boat landed. Commanding the prisoner to lie down the captain announced to the crowd that the man had taken poison and was dead, meanwhile carrying him to the patrol wagon and giving the word to drive ahead. The bandit was taken to the New Albany jail. A few mo ments later he was removed to the Southern Indiana reformatory at Jef fersonville to escape the mob, which would not be quieted and which had assembled around the jail. He seemed confused, but is appar ently not Insane. He confessed that he planned the robbery of the bank and says he had no assistance.
