MIN'S ODKUIKNIK IIRDNftS DKATII Ksglnrft Joan f Followed Orders, Killing Itearae Party. CTIIERRT, IW. Xdv. R Implicit obedi ence by Engineer John Cowley to orders of hi superior may have caused the death of the rescuing party which went down tnto the 8t. Paul mine yesterday afternoon. At the coroner's Inquest, which began to day. Cowley, who In engineer of. the main shaft, teetlfled that lie declined to- accedo to the demand of the persons standing at the top of hi shall that he at once lift the rase containing the rescuer. The reaaon he declined, he-stated, was because he had been told by the third vein boss, Alexander Nobergr to move the cage only kt anawar to the regular bell code. When the repcue party had been at the bottom of the shaft aome time without get ting; In communication with the engineer by the uaual mean, Martin Tower, lr. Howe and Herbert Lewis, the latter a brother of one of the rescue party, rushed to Cowley, so the engineer testified. They demanded that the cage be raised Imme diately. Cowloy refused, acting under order from Nosberg, the witness told the cotoner' Jury, For a space of time, which Cowley declares to have been perhaps ten minutes, he would not listen to their fran tla appeals, but finally he referred the mat ter to John Qulnby of the top cage. Qulnby hesitated and aa Machinist Chadestcr en tered, Cowley asked C'badester what should be done. "Go ahead and raise It," answered Cha pter, according ' to Cowley' testimony; "nobody la alive down there." Cowley then brought the cage to the top, but every one of the men In the rescue party was either dead or dying when they reached the tup. Cowley defended himself on the stand by saying he bad received Nosberg order to await the bell sljrnal beforo 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 raining the cage he would rink Injuring aome ol the men below and. that he might leavt them without means of escape If he llftec the cage while they were not in It. Cowley declared that after the final cage with men In 11 had been raised the caga waa let down and raised five or six tlmus, with the chance that some of the miners might reach the nhaft. Ho 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 Lewis appealed. Nos berg' orders again were given ae an excuse. Previous to 'ie final raising of the cage bearing the rescue party, Cowley said the bell signals had been unusual and discon certed. He received one signal of three bells to hoist away, which waa followed alraot immediately by a four-bell signal, meaning "hoist slowly." At a height of eight or nine feet the cage was stopped at a ont'-bell lnnal and started up at another when came alx-beli, signal, "reverse the fan,"' .'and then" twg bells, "lower." Cowley lowered th cage In answer to the signal, the last fever cent from the doomud member ot the rescue party. The Jury adjourned 'after Cowley, John Ralabeck, engineer In the air shaft, and evcfal relative of the dead In the rescue party had testified. '; The Jurymen wilt meet again tomorrow and more testimony- concerning Cowley' refusal to lift the cage will be heard. The Inquest . Is being conducted by Dr. A. H. Malm of Princeton, a coroner, and by L. M. Kckert of Trlnceton, the Bureau county state attorney. The Juror are: Peter Delphln, marshal; Timothy McDon ald, farmerT .

Makers of FAIRY MACHINERY MADE OF JUNK Omaha City Plant for Working Old Asphalt ii t Curiosity. DEAN NOTES I ROVES A GEHIUS (iatkertd Placarded Part of Many Maralnre Make Plant that Work Well Making; Stone Crosswalk.. "To build an asphalt repair p'nnt that will astonish the scientific engineering world." said City Engineer Craig, "you take a group of Junk yards, an abandoned (train elevator. dismantled alfalfa mill, aome old board and older sheetiron and tin, a few ancient cog wheel and a col lection of etceteras. Gather these thing all at one spot then get Dean Noyes to assemble them Into a working whole. The result la a manufacturing plant such as you are before you. It la without a rival In the world, and we can safely defy the universe to produce lta equal. Why the Commercial club booster did not arrange to show It to the Japanese visitor I can not understand." Mr. Craig was speaking of the Omaha city asphalt repair plant, located on Nich olas street, down In the bottom, and he was showing Its efficiency and ex plaining it strange and wonderful con struction to a party of newspaper men and city official. The explanation waa amplified and detail specified by Assistant City Engineer Campen. Dean Noyea, the superintendent and builder of the plant, modestly elucidated the particular point the engineer did not Comprehend. They are trained In regularity and plumb-line processes. While Noye ha In overflow ing measure the Tankee "knack" of con triving unique combination of common thing and making them do work they were never intended for, The late city engineer, Andrew Rose water, was of an original turn, of mind himself, with a grent deal of practical iblllty to see' hi original notion worked out. To save money and have the city repair work on asphalt streets done where needed, and when needed, without the necessity of outside, expensive help, he succeeded In having a plant built and owned by the city, to do the work. Thl plant was regular 'and standard In Jta features, but the Idea of working over the old asphalt, taken from street ' that are to be re paved, had not been given a practical trial during hi lifetime. How Korea Bollt Hie Plant. During the laat summer Dean Noyea, who had been superintendent of the plant under Andrew Roiewater, began to gather material together In furtherance of the belief that old asphalt could be crushed, irround up ami worked over, at small cost, for the purpose of street repair work. Ha secured a grinder that waa originally built for an alfalfa mill and act K up in the city yard. On thla he built an ele vator, having small buckets attached to a belt, such aa la used for elevating! grain. With aome tinkering and reletting of the cast-off machinery ha succeeded In developing a 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 a pleoe of taffy by slow pressure," says Mr. Noyea, "and you almply make It pulpy and sticky with out pulverising It. But hit It smartly with a hammer and you smash It Into smsll fragments at ono. 80 with old asphalt. The teeth In the grinder must.be strong enough and must be turned fast enough to smash and pulverise the asphalt ehunks. This machine will do the work as fast as two men can feed it when running at full speed and with much less engine power than any regular maohine for the purpose that w can hear of." . Having got his crusher working In good shnpe, much beynod the promise of Its unbusinesslike - appearance, - Be rigged up a oooklng tank with bricks and old sheet steeJ from various scrap heaps and Junk yards. At one en of this , he attached an c levator slmWar to the one that carries the asphalt refuse Into tne orusher. To thl. the pulverised material is brought and fed, being elevated Into the heating tank. Here it la turned over and over by a worm like mixer, also of home-made construc tion. Quick fires are kept going under this mixer, but burning of the material is prevented by a Jet that shoots hot steam continually Into the mixer and keeps it aarnp and or the proper consistency. More Scrap Iroa Efficiency. From this mixer over the hot fir the asphalt Is wormed to a point where it drops Into a second mixing box, also made of scrap pieces. On arriving In this see ond mixer I per ueut of pure asphalt Is added, In fluid form. This Is called "sweetening" by r. Noyes, and adds Just the element of new life needed to make the worked-ovr asphalt pllabl and give It renewed "setting" qualities. It la shoveled directly from here Into the city wagons and taken wherever needed for patohlng large or small holes in the paved streets. The machine Is capable of turning out twelve loads a day, going full speed, but tta) m OOaPMajT rasa year FAIRBANK COMPANY SOAP, the oval pake. L V 1,1 to ten loads. formerly the old asphalt torn from the streets when repavlng was done wise used to fill holes in macadamised and and dlrst streets, with unsatisfactory results. Today, thanks to the Junk heaps and the man who paw finished machinery In their compomnt parts, the city is saving big mmey and making money, too. The Noye creation turn out enough re mads asphalt every day. when working full time, to pave 8"0 yards at street two Irenes deep. Counting all costs of haul ing to and from the yard and all labor coat at the plant, the expense of the 300 yards is '7 75. Week In and week out the cost of the product Is about 21 cents a yard, laid oh the street, but If we add the cost of getting the old apna1t to the city yard the cost reaches 37 cents a yard. For. I s product the city asphalt repair plant coll?cls $l.f0 a yard from the street railway company or any private contractor It may do patching for. These figures will Indicate that the city engineer and his assistants have good ground for their boast that Dean Noyes and his hand-msde plant of rejuvenated rcrap material are well worth a visit from anybody Iritrrected In effective engineering at small cost. In faci, all this plant cost the city of Omaha was tne labor expense ot putting It together. It success has convinced the city engineer and all others Who have seen It that great sum can ba saved the city In a series of years by building a real plant to grind up the old aaphalt and make It do duty again. When relald It stands the wear mm well as new asphalt to all Intents and purposes. Complete Testing; Laboratory- The chemist of the city engineer's de partment Henry Mllbum, also ha his office and laboratory at the asphalt repair yard. It is a complcto laboratory of Its kind, too. Here All materials are scientific ally tested, such as sard, cement, asphalt, everything that enters Into street construc tion. Mr. Mllbum demonstrated for his visitors, by a testing n achine, that cement deteriorate to an appreciable d:gre shortly after it ha been laid and set. Later It I stronger, and after a term of year has reached Its full resisting power. There is one part of Mr. Mllburn's labor atory equipment which would gladden the heart of many a prise fighter who has ad vanced a claim of having been counted out too quick. It Is sort of perpetual motion contrivance, with a pointer that swings backward and fnward. ticking off the Second with a regularity that cannot be gainsaid. "It beats a watch all to pleoea," says the city chemist, and the observer will readily agjre that It does. Malting ".tone Crosswalks. Across the street from the asphalt repair plant tha city engineer has established an entirely new Industry as a feature of his department. Thla Is the construction of stone crosswalks, also In charge of Mr. Noyes. It has not been In operation long, but promises great results. Here cement anrl broken stone. Is made Into sections of oreas&alk five feet long, three feet wide, Sloping from five Inches In thickness at the center to three Inches at the outer edges. Some twenty-five of these new crosswalks have already been laid on un paved streets In different sections of the city, 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, said: "We can manufacture and lay them for Just about the first cost of the lumber In wood'-n 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. Tbat the stone -. crosswalk Innovation promises well will "be "seen 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 nails; February. 8,010 feet lumber, 184 pounds nails; March, 26.4S1 feet lumber, 688 pounds nails; April, 8S.41S feet lumber. 716 pounds nails; May, J0.S27 feet lumber. 467 pounds nails; June l, 887 feet lumber, 494 pounds nails. This lumber for crosswalks cost 2il.7S a thousand, at the cheapest price, and the walks had to be renewed often within a year or two. WHY V01E COMES IN SLOWLY (Continued from First Page.) ture convenes and thua avoid the fight which occurred before the late legislature. Mayor Love Intends to see to it that all the people know Just exactly what they are getting and he has, alnc becoming the chief executive of the city, Maken the people Into his confidence at every . Jump of the road and the charter will hot be rushed to the legislature until the people know what it provides. Mayor l.ove Suspicions. Another hitch has occurred In the pro posed profit-sharing agreement between the city and the traction company and Mayor Love has asked a committee from the Com mercial club to pass on the article pre pared and sea if the city is to come out at the little end of the horn. The city, offi cials are so suspicious ot the traction com pany doing things to the city that when ome one started the report there was a Joker In the proposed agreement it was generally believed, and at once the mayor asked the Commercial club committee to pass on It. In the meantime there is a lot of sentiment tor a vote of the people on the agreement, as it proposes to bind the city for a period of fifteen years, so It Is very probable ao 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 city becoming a partner In a street railway company. POWER PROJECT IX CIHTER P. M. Carrie Heads Schema to liar, aeas Nona Loap River. BROKEN BOW, Neb.. Nov. 14-(Sneclal.) A big project la under way to harness the North Loup river so that It will develop a 1,000-horse power. Frank M. Currie Is at the head of the enterprise and from present indication will make a success of It. The river at Burwell makes a loup of several mile, the distance from channel to channel being three miles. A fall of forty-two feet can be had between these two points, furnishing a tremendous amount of horse power. Expert engineers are now at work on the project and as soon as a report is submitted a company will be or ganised with Mr. Currie 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 towns It may furnish power to. The towns moat benefited by the enterprise will be Broken Bow, Arcadia,- Sargent, Burwell, Ord and Comstock. It Is estimated that the company can fully aupply those towns and then have a surplus of WO horse power. Tha project will probably cost from flM.OOO to 1200,000. Wark of Fire Maraaal. MITCHELL, 8.

Photography Is playing a part In the mechanical reformation of the habits ot civilised man only less Important than that of the steam engine, the telegraph and the telephone. The steam engine, applied to steamships and railway locomotives, brought the people of different parts of the world Into one community. The tele- graph and telephone made It possible for the whole world to know In one moment the local event of the moment before. Photography has visualised tne current his- tory of the uour and has brougtit before every eye the wonders of the universe. Photography has taken an Important po- sttlon In Journalism, and It is becoming uiore and more to be used as a vehicle fur transmitting ordinary Intelligence, I'irst the Illustrated magizlnes and news papers, by the use of half-tone photo graphs on metal plates, were able to give their readera a truthful reproduction of the features of great men and women con cerned with important events. So common Is this use of photography that the aver age American child Is aole to recognize at a giance the portrait of any notable person or the picture of the scene of any great event. Supplementing th.s Journallstlo feat of spreaUing visual Information broadcast, has oume the moving picture machine. Now the ordinary man in the street not only recognises the portrait of the English King or the German Kmperor at a glance, but he also know Just how Edward Vll lifts hls hat to a lady and Just how William li acknowledges the salute of an officer. The people of Vinton, la., the court ladles of Peking, the basaar hangers-on of Cal- cults, and the residents of Melbourne all have seen Wilbur Wright flying through the air In his aeroplane.

OLD HOMESTEAD SELLS WELL Famous "Ulon" ot the Mallorya Booght by Charlton Men. CRESTON, la., Nov. 14 (Special.) Re ceiver Jameson of the Chariton bank has sold "Ulon," the beautiful od homestead, for 900 years the home of the Mallory's, before the disastrous bank failure at the bands of R. R. Crocker. The buyers of this property are Messrs L. H. Busselle and W. A. Elkenberry of Charlton, for IM.OOO.
