Teat of Patrick's Claim Bernhardt Defeata the Trust Senator Depew's III Health Operators Will Pay Ad vance Perkins Arrested The Week In Congress. The disaster at the Courrieres coal mines near Lens, France, had a start ling sequel on Friday when 13 minors were taken out alive after hav ing endured unspoakable horrors dur ings 20 days of entombment. The story of the survivors, bo far as It has been told, already discloses that they lived for many days on putrid horse meat amid total darkness and In the stench from scores of decaying corpses. The presence of human flesh would speedily have forced the starving men to resort to the last des perate extremity If their rescue had not occurred. The survivors were sturdy young miners from 17 to 25 years of age, ex cept their leader, Henri Nemy, who Is 38 years old, although from the terrible effects of their experience they are emaciated, exhausted aud blinded. The total number of men missing after the catastrophe was 1,252. The bodies recovered approximately num bered 600 and there are still unac counted for approximately 700. Many engineers and scientists agreed that all In the mine must have died long ago. Engineer Lauer, however, dissents, asserting that the salvage work has been deplorably inefficient, and he believes that scores died of ex haustion owing to the poor work of the salvage companies. Patrick's Claim to Be Tested. Four years atfer date of his convic tion of the murder of William Marsh Rice, the Texas millionaire, Albert T. Patrick's plea that an actual test be made to prove or disprove his conten tion that embalming fluid and not chloroform was the cause of the con dition of Rice's body was granted last week. It was the office of District Attorney Jerome and not the defense of Pat rick, however, which, has undertaken the investigation which Patrick has earnestly requested. Several times during the years In which Patrick has fought his case with legal moves directed from the death chamber In the Sing Sing prison, the convicted man has begged of con demned prisoners to allow his counsel to experiment on their bodies after death In order to disprove that Rice died from the application of chloro form, as Valet Jones testified, and to prove Patrick's allegation that Rice died of general debility. It was Patrick's contention that the embalming fluid administered after Rice's death produced, and would pro duce In another case, conditions such as physicians who testified in the case ascribed to chloroform poisoning. Despite his efforts, however, the condemned man has been u.nable to bring about the experiments. It was announced from District At torney Jerome's office that the experi ments to test Patrick's theory were be gun Thursday under the direction of that office. Two persons whose bodies are to be used either in giving Pat rick his liberty or defeating his efforts to secure a new trial are patients who died in the Metropolitan hospital a few days ago and the disposition of whose bodies was under the control of Dr. Lonls Schultz of the charities department of the city, who assigned them to that use. The fight to save the life of Albert T. Patrick, under sentence of death for the murder of the aged Texas million aire, William M. Rice, was re sumed In New York on Tuesday before Recorder Golf on the motion for a new trial. Interesting testimony was given by a number of pathologists as to the similarity In the effects on human lungs of chloroform and embalming fluid. The new witnesses from Texas are expected. Double Tragedy In Bliss Stables. In New York Friday David Bur hons, coachman for Cornelius N. Bliss, the bunker and treasurer of the Repub lican national committee, murdered Thomas Hegerty, his assistant and groom to Mr. Bliss, by shooting him twice. Burhans then turned the pistol upon himself and ended his own life. Hegerty died soon after being re moved to a hospital. The shooting occurred in Mr. Bliss' private stables in East Thirty-ninth street. It was witnesed only by the 19-year-old son of Burhans, who was too frightened to Interfere. The two men had been fast friends and the po lice have been unable to assign a cause for the crime, other than the fact that possibly Burhans feared Hegerty might eventually supplant him as Soachman. Burhans had been employed by Mr. Bliss for 12 years. He was a native of Kingston, N. Y. Both men had large families. Bernhardt Secured an Opera House. The theatrical trust which controls opera houses in Texas permitted the Opera House In Austin to be occu pied by Sarah Bernhardt, but the concession was not made until after the attorney general had taken pre liminary steps toward prosecuting the members of the theatrical syndicate for violation of the anti-trust laws of the state. Madame Bernhardt was billed to give her performance in a tent here. The tent was erected and everything in readiness for the per formance when word came at noon from New York that she might have the use of the Opera House. - She accepted. Senator Depew's Health. The New York Herald says: "Prom ises that Senator Chauncey M. Depew would return to his place In the senate by this time have not been fulfilled for the reason that hopes of his fam ily for a complete restoration of his health have been disappointed. "He is still In retirement on the Elliot F. Shepard estate back of Scar borough, where he has been in seclus ion for a month since he suddenly left Washington. "So closely is the senator guarded that only a few persons living In the Immediate neighborhood are able to say from their own knowledge that he is in the 'villa,' as the house Is known, In which extreme measures have been taken to check the rapid decline Into which It has seemed for several months he has been falling. "Every pleasant day lately Senator Depew has been taken for a ride In an automobile and several times he has taken children of the neighborhood ad companions. Except for caretakers, Senator Depew is practically alone on the 200 acre estate." Operators Will Pay 1903 Scale.' Dispatches from the soft coal fields Indicate almost a general announce ment from operators of Western Penn sylvania of an agreement to pay the miners the advance of 5.55 per ton called for in the restoration of the scale of 1903.

Beginning Wednesday the postofflce appropriation bill will have the right of way. General debate on the bill will be completed It is expected by the end of the week. Perkins Arrested For Grand Larceny. On a charge that his connection with the contribution of $48,702.60 from the New York Life Insurance company to Cornelius N.

FREE ANTITOXIN HEADS OFF DEATH In Last Four Months Every Diph theria Patient Treated Promptly and According to Health Com missioner's Instructions Has Recovered. URGE8 EARLY DOSAGE Dr. Dixon Scores a Notable Life-Saving Triumph Among the Poor of Penn sylvania Hopes For Still Better Record. The Health Commissioner, Samuel ft. Dixon, a couple of months ago an nounced that use of free antitoxin among diphtheria victims who were too poor to pay lor the serum had reduced the' death rate to 8.8 per cent. This was a splendid result and showed the great benefits of the State paying for antitoxin for those who might other wise cot be able to procure it and In consequence probably die. Now Health Commissioner Dixon announces that according to the- rec ords compiled In his office he finds that during the four months of Novem ber and December, 1905, and January and February, 1906, there has not been a single death from diphtheria where the free use of antitoxin provided by the State has been used within 24 hours after the onset of the disease and in doses recommended in circulars sent out by the Commissioner. Dr. Dixon attached great import ance to this fact, and hopes that the same results will be secured in a far larger number of cases by physicians throughout the State using free anti toxin more promptly. This prompt use of antitoxin has been urged by Health Commissioner Dixon from the start of the free dis tribution. He has urged it in his cor respondence with fellow-medical men and the local Boards of Health throughout the State, and especially in the circular which Is contained in every package of the State's free anti toxin. "The barly use of antitoxin is es sential," says Health Commissioner Dixon in this circular, and he endeav ors to impress it upon the people by heavily underscoring the words of ad vice. In this circular also Dr. Dixon has given general directions for the ad ministration of antitoxin in both cura tive and immunizing doses that have been found exceedingly helpful to phy sicians in Pennsylvania. Never less than 3000 units, says Dr. Dixon, should be used for a curative dose; In ad vanced cases he says to increase the Initial curative dose from 3000 to 6000 units. If. improvement is not manifested within six hours following the Initial dose, give 6000 units, and if no benefit Is to be observed within the following eight to 12 honrs, repeat the same un til a change for the better can be no ticed. All cases showing croupy symptoms should receive large and often-repeated doses. WOODS NOT GUILTY. In Action Under the Elkins Law For Receiving Rebates. Philadelphia, April 3.

New York, April 3. The day of th second meeting of the committees rep resenting the anthracite mine worker! and their employers finds the situa tlon, so far as the hard coal fields ar concerned, unchanged from that dia closed In the communications that . have passed between the contending forces which have been made public. Neither miner nor operator will vea ture a prediction as to the outcome ai neither party is aware of what the next move of the other will be. Both sides are hopeful, however, and titers Is a feeling amotig those vitally Inter ested in the struggle that some way out of the present difficulty will be found. This feeling is based on the fact that each side has only played its first card, aud that the real negotia tions have not yet begun. President Mitchell arrived here last night from Indianapolis and estab lished headquarters at the Ashland House. Others who arrived were Presidents Nichols, Fahy and Dettrey. The remaining members of the Sha mokin scale committee to which has been referred the matter of a settle ment with the mine owners, will ar rive today. None of the district leaders would be quoted as to the situation as shown by the first day's suspension, but they all admitted privately that the utmost harmony prevails in the region and that rumors that thousands of men would not obey the suspeusion order have proved groundless. They report that the only colliery working full handed is the People's Coal company's Oxford operation, In the northern field, which is run almost exclusively by non-union men. The washerics that were In opera tion employ, district leaders say, only a small number of men aud they are not well organized. Today's meeting between the sub committee of the miners and the op erators will be held at noon and is ex pected to be of short duration. It is believed that nothing will be definitely agreed upon. According to Information obtained the program tor today as tentatively outlined by tho operators is to renew the counter proposition made to the miners early iu March that is the continuation for another term of three years of the award of the anthracite strike commission. The operators, It Is understood, will not make any extended argument but will content themselves with calling attention to the reasons they set forth in their reply to the miners' general demands. The employers, however, do not expect the miners' representa tives to accept the proposition or even consider it at the present time, but rather expect the union leaders to re new1 their original demands. If this program Is followed out an adjourn ment probably will be taken for 24 or 48 hours. The conciliatory spirit shown in the first meeting of the two committees Is not expected to obtain. The operators are indignant over the action of the miners' union In forcing a suspension of operations and from information gathered it is not unlikely that tho miners will be told that their action was "extraordinary," as President Iiaer already has told Mr. Mitchell by telegram. The district leaders of tho mine workers say the action of tho Shainokin scale committee was justi fied, that no agreement or contract be tween the operators and men existed after midnight Saturday. The presidents of the anthracite coal carrying roads have devoted con siderable attention to the action of tho retail coal dealers in New York, Phil adelphia and other cities in raising the price of domestic Blzes of coal to the consumer. They have received re ports that many retailers have ad vanced prices anywhere from 25 cents to $1 a ton. The operators somo days ago warned the dealers that If they continued the practice their supply of coal will be cut off and fuel will be given to only those dealers who rigidly maintain the regular prices. The practice of advanc ing prices, however, became so wide spread that the operators deemed it necessary to issuo a statement to the public showing their position.
