MANY KILLED IN MINE
Officials Say 138, Others Esti
mate at Least 50 More.
All But Two of the Bodies Recovered
Were Frightfully Mutilated Body
of John Ivi II, Cousin of Mine's Pres
ident, Found Beneath a Coal-Digging
Machine Another Unfortunate Had
Put His Face In Water In Vain At
tempt to Escape Suffocation.
One hundred and thirteen bodies,
all but two of them horribly mu
tilated and several dismembered, were
taken from the mine of the Pitts
burg-Buffalo Coal company at Marian-
na, where an explosion occurred Sc-
urday that killed many men and caut
into gloom what until then had been
considered the model mining town of
the world.
OIMciuU of the company, who said
that over 125 had been killed, now ad
mit that 138 men went down the shaft
to work Saturday morning. Accord
ing to miners nnd others familiar with
the number of men generally employ
ed In the mine, the death list will ex
ceed the company's estimate by at
luast fifty.
Ah In nearly all mine disasters there
seems no way at present of knowing
how many men went to work. The
number check-off system again has
proved defective and from no source
can an accurate statement as to the
fatalities be secured.
It Is possible that the exact number
of men killed never will be known.
Two of the nieu taken from the mine
had been suffocated and their bodies
were not even scratched. One of these
was John Ivlll. a cousin of John H.
Jones, president of the Pittsburg-Buf
falo Coal company, owners of the
mine, who was employed as head
timekeeper. Ivill's body was found
beneath a coal-digging machine and it
was apparent that the young man had
crawled there In a vain effort to es
cape the deadly fumes.
The body of another man was found
near Ivlll. Tire unfortunate had placed
his face In a pool of water, which all
miners ate advised to do when an ex
plosion occurs, in a desperate attempt
to fight off suffocation.
COLLISION OFF SANDY HOOK.
Three of "Steamer's Passengers and
One of Crew Lost.
Fog, the heaviest known for a
number of years, caused the loss of
four lives when the Panama Rail
road steamer Finance, bound for Colon
with 83 passengers, was sunk In col
lision with the White Star freight
steamer Georgic in the main ship
channel, off Sandy Hook.
To add to the confusion a moment
after the impact there was an explos
ion of an ammonia tank in the forward
hold of the Finance and the fumes
drove the engineers and firemen to
the docks. William Todd, the third as
sistant engineer, was partially over
come by the fumes and, staggering to
the rail, threw himself overboard. He
was not again seen.
Three passengers are missing. They
are Mrs. Irene Campbell of Colon,
Henry Muller. a conductor on the Pan
ama railroad; Policeman Schweinler
of the Canal Zone police.
The captain of the Georgic quickly
dropped anchor, manned his boats and
sent them to the wrecked steamer,
greatly aiding In the rescue. All of
those Bawd were taken on board the
Georgic.
The Finance had over 700 bags of
mall aboard. Four elephants In the
Goorgle's hold were undisturbed by
the collision.
DEATH OF GEORGE RAINES.
Was Well Known For His Ability as
a Criminal Lawyer.
Hon. Ceorge Raines, who was well
known throughout Western New York
because of his ability ns d criminal
lawyer, died at Rochester Friday
afternoon after an illness of some
month?.
For many years and until his death
Mr. Raines was active In the Demo
cratic party. His unusual ability
soon made him felt In the local courts,
and In 1871. at the age of 24 years, he
was elected district attorney of Mon
roe county, on the Republican ticket,
however. Mr. Raines returned to the
district attorneyship in 1S74 as the
candidate of the Democratic party.
Of over forty first-degree murder
charges tried by Mr. Raines the de
fendants whom he prosecuted were all
executed except the three men ac
cused of the comparatively recent So
dus murder, who were sentenced tot
life Imprisonment; while of the others
whom he defended not one went, to
be rope or the electric chair.
After quitting the district attorney's
office Mr. Raines became senator of
the district, then composed of Monroe
cnunty, running on the Democratic
ticket.
Brothers of the deceased lawyer are
former .Jmlge Thomas R. Raines of
Rochester and State Senator John
Raines and William Raines of Canan

MRS. SAMPSON COMMITTED
Must Remain Till First Week of Feb
ruary In Wayne County Jail.
While papers were 'being mad
out in the sheriff's office in Lyons
N. Y., for the commitment of Mrs
Georgia Allyn Sampson to the Wayne
county jail, charged with the mur
der of her husband, Harry Samp
son, the prisoner, who was dressed ir,
black, seldom spoke, even to her fa
ther, Frank P. Allyn, who sat besld
her.
Both the Allyns, the parents of the
accused woman, and the relatives ol
Harry Sampson are wealthy and prom
inent, and it is expected that the case
will result in a long drawnout legal
fight. As the charge Is of murder in
tho first degree no ball can be fur
nished, which will make It necessary
for Mrs. Sampson to spend at least
the lme from now until the first week
In February in the Wayne county Jail
The next grand Jury will convene In
February.
As the jail has no women's apart
ment the men prisoners were placed
on the north side of the Jail, which
left the whole south side for Mrv
SaniRson. Here she will remain for a
few days until a room can be fixed
up for her in the main part of the
building.
BONI FIGHTS FOR CHILDREN.
Avert In Court That De Sagan Is Unfit
to Have Charge of Them.
Count Bonl de Castellane, former
husband of the Princess Helie de Sag
an, who was Miss Anna Gould of New
York, renewed In court his efforts tc
regain possession of his three sons;
putter from him by Judicial order
when his wife obtained a divorce from
him.
In his petition Count de Castellane
avers that Prince de Sagan, who Is hit
cousin, is not a fit person to have
charge of the young boys. He de
clares that tlwy arc in great peril of
physical and moral deterioration while
In daily contact with the present hus
band of his former wife despite her
presence. He asks that the custody
of tfca boys be awarded to himself.
The boys about whom the legal fight
Is being waged are Boniface de Cas
tellane, born In 18st7; George de Cas
tellane, born in 1808, and Jay do Cas
tellane, born In 1902. As heirs to what
Is left of their mother's share of the
Jay Gould millions they will be very
rich.
In the court an attorney was pres
ent to observe the course of the pro
ceedings for George J. Gould of New
York, brother of the Princess de Sagan
and head of the Gould family.
AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN.
Covers Policy of Two Countries In the
Pacific and China.
Despite official reticence, informa
tion from reliable sources has been-
obtained at Washington of an
agreement of far-reaching importance
between the United States and Japan
covering the policy of the two coun
tries in the Pacific.
The agreement is based upon the
Idea of encouraging and defending free
and peaceful commeiclal development
In the Pacific. It contains not only a
mutual guarantee to respect each
other's territorial possessions there,
but defines the attitude of the two
countries toward China, binding each
to defend by every peaceful means
China's Independence and Integrity,
and to give equal commercial oppor
tunity In the Chinese empire to all na
tions. But more important still, the agree
ment, in the event of complications
threatening the status quo, binds the
United States and Japan to consult
each other with a view to acting to
gether. CASTRO SAILS FOR BERLIN.
Will Undergo Operation at Hands of
a Skilled Specialist.
President Castro sailed on Fri
day from La Guayra on the steam
ship Guadeloupe for Bordeaux, for
the purpose of undergoing an opera
tion at the hands of a skilled special
ist of Berlin. He Is suffering from an
internal abscess In the region of the
kidneys. He has already been oper
ated on several times by eminent sur
geons of South America.
The greatest excitement prevails In
Caracas, and political Intriguing al
ready has commenced. It Is thought
that the departure of President Cas
tro may open the road for the settle
ment of the Holland, American and
French disputes. Vlncente Gomez,
the vice president, will assume the
presidency.
Woodruff Withdraws.
Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of
the New York Republican state com
mittee, has eliminated himself from
the senatorial race In favor of Secre
tary of State Elihu Root.
This action was taken after a pro
tvacted conference with President
elect Taft and was followed by state
ments by both Messrs. Taft and Wood
ruff. Aside from these statements,
each of which concedes the election of
Mr. Root to succeed Senator Piatt,
no details of the conference were
made known.

STNADOI 00
Mr. Archbold Says Bulk of Illu
minating Oil Is Exported.
Products of the Company Reach Every
Part of the World Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey Was Form
ed tcHold Properties Which Had
Previously Been Held by Standard
Interests Capital Stock of Standard
Oil Company Is $110,000,000.
New York, Dec. 1. The develop
ment of trade of the Standard Oil com
pany in foreign fields, as a subject of
evidence in the government suit to
dissolve the oil combination, gave
John D. Archbold, vice president of the
Standard, an opportunity as a witness
to spread upon the records some inter
esting features of the Standard's busi
ness in foreign countries.
Of the total amount of Illuminating
til refined by the Standard In 1906
Mr. Archbold stated that 63 per cent
was sold abroad. Export figures of
other years further showed that the
Standard exported the major bulk of
Its illuminating nil.
The line of testimony with regard
to the Immense foreign trade indi
cates that one of the defenses of the
Standard is that the present combina
tion makes It possible to obtain th's
foreign trade,- which, the company will
endeavor to show, brings a trade bal
ance In favor of the United States.
This foreign business, Mr. Archbold
went on to say, was secured in the
face of the competition of 400 foreign
companies. Products of the Standard
reach every part of the world, Mr.
Archbold said, who further declared
that It was the aim of the company to
reach direct every consumer In the
Far East, as was done In this country.
Testimony was given by Mr. Arch
bold that during the period of the
Standard Oil trust the trustees poured
millions of tho ' company's earnings
back into the trust for the construc
tion of new refineries and pipe lines.
Mr. Archbold said that the trustees
of the Standard Oil trust, after its or
ganization formed tha Standard Oil
company of New York and New Jer
sey, to hold properties which 'had pre
viously been held by Standard inter
ests. The witness said the Standard
companies of New York and New Jer
sey were still the same companies as
those formed In 1882.
The capital stock of the Standata
Oil company of New Jersey was $3,
000,000 in 1882, but was Incrsased In
1892 to $10,000,000 and in 1899 to
$110,000,000, of which $10,000,000 was
preferred.
110 BODIES RECOVERED.
State Department Will Take Charge of
Mine When Recovery Work Is Done.
Pittsburg. Dec. 1. The squeaking
Iron bucket, operated In the 500 foot
shaft leading to the Rachel and Agnes
mines of the Pittsburg and Buffalo
Coal company at Marlanna, Pa., since
last Saturday, when a terrific explosion
In the mines wrecked the up-to-date
elevator In the shaft and snuffed out
the lives of 120 miners or more, has
carried to the surface the bruised,
mangled nnd burned remains of more
than 100 of the victims of the disaster.
The most reliable count of the
bodies recovered Is 110, two-thirds of
which have been Identified. The gen
eral belief Is that not many more
bodies would be found.
James E. Roderick, head of the state
department of mining, said that from
data furnished him by the company
and reports from his six deputy Inspec
tors, he did not believe the death list
would exceed 120.
When recovery work is finished he
will take charge of the mine, Investi
gate the cause of the disaster and fix
responsibility therefor If possible.
"I have good reports from the six
deputies who have been working with
the rescuers," he said, "but I will not
attempt to assign a cause from these
reports. I can say, however, that
nothing could have given the state
department a greater surprise than an
explosion In the mine at this time."
Mr. Rod' rick said this disaster and
the serie -f last winter would form
the text ot a communication to the leg
islature next January urging sweep
ing changes In tiie slate mining laws.
Restriction on Charitable Bequests.
New York, Dec. 1. The New York
Kindergarten association has appoint
ed a committee consisting of Daniel
S. Renisen, A. S. Frissell and Richard
Watson Gilder to seek the co-operation
of some of the charitable societies
throughout New York state to urge
the legislature to repeal the law which
prevents them from accepting bequests
under wills executed less than two
months before the death of the testa
tor. Mr. Renisen stated that the leg
islature will be asked by the board
of statutory consolidation to consoli
date the laws relating to wills and re
peal all obsolete laws relating thereto.

Company Has Names of 130
They Knew Were In Mine.
Pittsburg, Dec. 1. Thirty more
bodies have been located In the wreck
ed mine at Marlanna and these will be
brought to the surface at once. Of the
victims 23 Americans have been Iden
tified as follows:
Charles Blair, Richard Piatt, Frank

The work of rescue continued
throughout the night. Miners form
ing the rescue party to bring tho
bodies to the surface remained in tho
mine all night working In four-hour
shifts to facilitate the work. All the
headings, with the exception of two
loft headings, were penetrated, and
It Is said that llttlo difficulty was ex
perienced as a result of falls of slato
and coal.
Alldanger from further explosion Is
past, 'it was said, and the work of
bringing the thirty additional bodies
which had been located, will proceed
at once.
John H. Jones, president of tho
Pittsburg-Buffalo company, stated
that the company representatives had
checked off the names of 130 miners
whom they knew were In the mine at
the time of the explosion and he does
not believe the list of dead will ex
ceed that number. One hundred and
twelve bodies have already been lo

Mine Foreman Kennedy's Definition
of Courage at Marianna.
Pittsburg, Dec. 1. Father Glynn of
Brownsville visited Mine Foreman
Kennedy of the Marlanna mine after
he had been carried to his home al
most Biiffocated. The priest said to
him: "Place your confidence In Al
mighty God; have courage, and every
thing will come out all right."
Mr. Kennedy looked at him for a
minute and said: "Father, I do place
my confidence In Almighty God."
And raising himself In his bed, he
continued:
"Do you say courage? Courage?
Father, everv man who goes down
those SflO feet Into darkness and to
danger Is a grenter hero than Napo
leon or Caesar!" And he fell back
unconscious.
Deportation of Allen White Slaves.
Chicago. Dec. 1. The first deporta

Capacity for Lcidt s ip Are
Settled Definitely
PLEDGES TO BE CARRIED CUT
Harmony Conditions in Keystone Statu
Preclude All Possibility of Strife Be
ing Again Stirred Up Unwarranted
Attacks on Senator Penrose.
Important interviews with President
elect Taft have taken place la;ely at
the Virginia Hot Springs. One result
of these interviews Is that all quos
Hons as to Mr. Taft's courage, and in
to his capacity for leadership of tht
highest quality, are settle.?. Anotliei
result Is that It has been determined
doubtless for all time, that under Pies
ident Taft the Republican party will
continue as a party of action and prog
ress aud that the reactionaries and do
nothing people In Congress are toli.i.o
a positive aud aggressive mau In the
White House to reckon with during the
next four years. Just as they have u.id
dining the last four. Mr. Tall has made
himself tho leader or the progressive
forces within tho Republican party and
has practically served notice upon the
reactiouaries that unless they coniu
into line they will have trouble on
their hands. This applies to the Uri.l
and to everything else.
Mr. Talt's attitude is a clear one.
There Is no mistaking what he want
uor what he will do if he does not get
it. What the reactionaries will do re
mains to be seen. They will probably
seemingly surrender with a secret hope
that they may be able to get their way
by Indirection and maneuver in the
end. Should they, however, ducide to
stubbornly stand out they will likely
provoke an appeal to the country.
There is but little doubt that should
Mr. Taft find it necessary to protect
blniHelf and the policies to which he Is
committed, and his good faltb pledges
made to the people during the cam
paign, he would not hesitate to take
the people into his confidence, not In
opposition to any individual, but within
his rights to ask the country to use its
Influence upon Its representatives at
Washington In favor of tho pollclos
which the people believe In and for
which they voted on election day.
Mr. Taft has positively refused a
proffer of peace and comfort aud a
chance to lot things slide along and
take it easy, and in turn has served
notice that his administration is to
stand for progressive policies, for a
genuine tariff revision, for carrying on
the work which Mr. Roosevelt began
but did not finish, and that as to tho
tariff and other matters, if the speaker
of the house and those aligned with
him do nol come into the path he (Mr.
Taft) has marked out and stand by tho
administration, there will he war from
the very outset.
However these things may turn out
the die Is cast. Those who had hoped
that Mr. Taft could 1-e taken Into camp
by the reactionaries, on the plea of
giving the country a rest and having
peace within the party at the expense
of good faith in I lie redeeming of Mr.
Taft's own campaign pledges, have suf
fered defeat. The new administration
is 1o be progressive.
Referring to political copdltlons In
the Keystone State, the most striking
feature at the present time Is the
plain, straightforward, businesslike
manner in which the candidacy of Sen
alor Boles Penrose for reelection to the
United States Senate Is being present
ed to those who will sit as members of
the coming legislature. This presenta
tion Is being made by a committee
named for that purpose by tho caucu.i
of the Philadelphia county members
which so enthusiastically Indorsed Sen
ator Penrose. It. is generally agreed
that Philadelphia Is entitled to one of
the two Henatorshlps. It cannot he de
nied that Philadelphia Is entirely
pleased and satisfied to have Senator
Penrose fill the position nlloled to that
city and county so long bb he shall !
permitted to live. There is nothing In
Senator Penrose's record that, cannot
be uncovered to the most searching
publicity without, danger of adverse
criticism, unless It come from that
band of chronic trouble makers whose
vision Is always distorted and whose
cor.Btart aim In the past has been to
g'.!r up factionalism In the Republican
party in Pennsylvania. But happily the
day ai'd opportunity for those provok
ers of strife has passed. Harmony now
prevails In the Republican party In
Pennsylvania and it is to continue to
prevail. Tho responses being made to
the presentation of Senator Penrose's
name by the committee named by the
caucus of the Philadelphia legislators
elect Is most gratifying. They Indicate
that sentiment all over the state li
practically unanimous In favor of re
turning Senator Penrose to the place
he has filled with such signal ability.
Senator Penrose has proven himself
In the years he has been In the Senate
as one who can do things that are of
benefit to the nation at large and to
his state. Ho Is one of the strong, pa
triotic bulwarks of the Senate. Having
been one of the greatest of the factors
In bringing about, the election of Mr
Taft to the presidency, the wonderful
vote rolled up for Mr. Taft In New
York being one of the most marked
and direct results of the work Senator
Penrose was asslgneM to do, there can
bo no question an to tho attitude of
Sena'or Penrose toward the man he
did bo much for to elect. Senator Pen
rose's Republicanism can never be as
sailed. It Is consistent always. His
patriotism In nil matters affecting the
nation; his devotion to the Interests of
his state; his ever-active Interest and
untiring labors for and In behalf of the
working people of the country; the
splendid executive ability he has
shown In filling the arduous position of
chairman of the Senate committee on
postofflces and post ronds; his safe
course In matters touching the coun

the desirability of havln
