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:

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

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

walks had to be renewed often within a
year or two.

Another hitch has occurred In the pro

Love has asked a committee from the Com

at the little end of the horn. The city, offi
cials are so suspicious ot the traction com

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

to suit Itself. He also objects to the city

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.

Some Things You Want to Know
Popular Photography.
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.

bands of R. R. Crocker. The buyers of
this property are Messrs L. H. Busselle
and W. A. Elkenberry of Charlton, for

of their holdings In Lucas county, amount-,
Ing to $100,000 In all, to satisfy the claims
against them, and have gone to Orlando,.

pUked up near tha scene of the robbery
on the Sunday following the holdup by
William T. Canada.
He was with W. H. Crary looking over
the ground. Mr. Crary remarked. "Let's
go over and look about that tree there. I
saw three or four men lounging about
there a few days ago." -
Canada and Crary went over to the tre
and seeing nothing that could give any
clue were about to go away, when Mr.
Canada espied two fragment of an en
velope. The envelope bore the postmark
of Waco, Tex., and the receiving mark of
Kansas City. The greater part of the name
on the envelope had ben torn away, but
there was left enough of It to distinguish
the " gware, Kansas City, Mo., Qen Del."
Crary suggested throwing the envelope
away, but Canada, with the astuteness of
many years, conoluded that he would keep
It. He placed It In hi pocket. There
was nothing to Indicate from whom it
came or who the portion of the name
might Indicate. But K waa a clue.
