FARMERS FEEL EXPLOSION hafclng of Earth Over Deep Tomb Enroo rages Workers President Earling Spends Sleepless Xight at Cherry, III. CHERRT, 111.. Nov. 14. Nearly 4tO men and boys. It Is now believed, are now dead or perishing In the St Paul mine, though experts who succeeded in pene trating the smoke-filled alrshaft to the depth of 300 feet late today returned with a ray of hope for the grlef-strlcken rela tives of the entombed. For more than 30 hours the prisoners have been cut on from fresh air. That life could exist under such conditions Is doubted, but because no trace of high temperature was found In the depths of the mine tonight officials of the company hope that the victims may have found safety in remote recesses of the mine. Earling Refuses Sleep. A. J. Barling, president of the Chicago. Milwaukee A. St. Paul Railroad Company, who has not slept since arriving, re ceived an encouraging report after heroic efforts had been made today to open the mine for the Release of the entombed men or for the discovery of the dead. From the son of one of the missing miners, a young man named John Reld, the railroad president heard that a con cussion of the earth had been felt by farmers half a mils south of the mine shaft. The report was sent to Henry Burke, an official of the mining company. Burke rushed to President Earling In the office of the company. Farmers Hear Signals. "I've heard signals from the men," he said, excitedly. "What do you mean?" asked the rail road president. "Wbst signals?" "John Reld's boy says that he and farmera whose land Is over the southern end of the mine felt several concussions 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 were alive." '1 hope so,", said Mr. Barling. "That is st least encouraging." Ray of Hope I -eft. This glimmer of light to the darkened homes In Cherry, followed other en couraging, though doubtful theories of ex perts that the entombed hundreds may not have been suffocated and that oxygen enough remains in the mine to keep them alive until the shafts may be reopened. After the third attempt to explore con ditions, P. T. Williams, of Vrbana, 111., of the United States Oeographical Sur vey, who superintended the work of vol unteer explorers, telegraphed for mora rescue appliances. Three times Mr. Williams and Henry Smith, one of the volunteers, were low ered into the mine today in a bucket. Kach time they said the temperature was bearable. To open the sealed main shaft and exit of the mine was impossible to day, yet the stste inspectors have told Mine Superintendent Steele that they felt certain definite results could be obtained tomorrow. Mtaslng Number 386. The list of the missing was compiled today in the offices of the mining com pany. It reached 3So, Including the dead whose charred bodies were taken from the burning cages Saturday afternoon. It was declared probable that this list might be Increased. Two tjundred and seventy men who entered the mine Sat urday have been accounted for. The company had scores of tracers at work rounding up employes. Tonight the company officials say the number of men In the mine was greater than they first had believed possible. Among the missing are many Ameri cans who hsve lived in the mining sec tion of Illinois for years. Pall Cast Over Country. Orlef over the probable fate has cast a pall over the community. Cherry to day held thousands of persona and be fore 12 o'clock the St. Paul mine was surrounded by an almost uncontrollable mob. Officials early In the day swore in a fore of deputies to handle the crowd. Scores of trains from Streator, Mendota, Ladd. Spring Valley. La Salle. Ottawa and other towns were run. I.te tonight, sfter a conference of mining Inspectors, company officiate and experts, it wss decided to open the main shaft In the morning and to send ex plorers Into the mine in the regular cage. This plan was sdorted because the bucket scheme was found impracticable. W. W. Taylor, general superintendent of the mires of the St. Psul company, was a pathetic figure today. He stood watching srd suggesting movements to Inside Information Hints at End of Rivalry Between Empires Only Tiny Vessels Necessary. OTTAWA. Ont.. Nov. 14. (Special.) The reported momentous arrangement between the. Cabinets of the British and German Empires has blighted the pros pects of the Canadian navy. The proposal for about t25.O00.000 to start the building of war craft will not now be made to the Dominion government. News from inside sources is that offi cial Information lias beeen received and that an understanding has been reached between ISngland and Germany that may result in a period being set to tbelr rivalry in naval construction. As the chief purpose of the projected Canadian navy was to aid the mother country in the event of hostilities, which were be lieved to be threatened by Germany, the rumored arrangement between the gov ernments In London and Berlin clears up the situation and renders unnecessary the heavy expenditure for war vessels by Canada. Present intentions are, there fore, that the government will content Itself with the acquisition of a few ves sels of moderate size and cost, torpedo craft predominating.

EDWARD OPPOSED TO DIVORCE Her Ambition to Dazzle London Society Likely to Fail. REGAL BEAUTY ONLY. HOPE Mrs. Hill Denies Figuring In Do mestic Affairs of Multimillion aire Capt. Parker Mentioned as Prospective Husband. NEW YORK, Nov. 14. (Special.) That Mrs. John Jacob Astor may be disap pointed in the welcome which awaits her in England when she arrives there next week is the gist of gossip which the peo ple of the New York social set are get ting from their friends on the other side. King Edward's well-known attitude of opposition to divorce and his lack of friendly Interest in divorced persons is the cause. Mrs. Astor just now Is getting ready to sail for England. With her will go her little daughter, Alice. To her Intimates Mrs. Astor has declared she purposes to make a permanent place for herself in English society. It Is her intention to spend the greater portion of her time abroad at least until the recent notoriety due to her divorce and the bringing of Mrs. Corwin-Hlll Into the case shall have paled. , But the reported prospect of a cool re ception in England may result in this plan being altered. In the matter of court functions King Edward has been a stickler about having his courts free from divorcees. However, Mrs. Astor's beauty and popularity may result In an exception being made In her case. Of course. It she marries an Eng lishman, as society, people ' in London seem to think she will, her divorce will be forgotten. Various names are mentioned as Mrs. Astor's prospective husband, but Captain Montagu Parker is generally accorded the position' of favorite. His attentions dur ing the recent visits of Mrs. Astor were indefatigable; while in his company the beautiful American seemed to lose that wearied look she continually wears and occasionally smiled, something she rarely does. Past Honors Many. Formerly Mrs. Astor was a favorite In exclusive society and was granted many marks of royal consideration when she was the wife of Colonel Astor. Mrs. Astor was a highly-honored visitor in royal circles at Ascot, but for generations it has been the rule that no one who has been associated in domestic difficulties shall gain admission to thie exclusive lnclosure. Mrs. Roberta Halsey Corwin-Hlll, the beautiful divorcee whose name was brought into the Astor case as that of a very close friend of Colonel Astor, has publicly denied since returning from Europe, that she was In any way con cerned in the Astors' domestic troubles. But Mrs. Hill does not seem to be troub led by the reports connecting her name with the case. "Yes, of course, I know Colonel Astor," (Concluded on Page 4.) JACOB ASTOR.

He has .indicated pretty clearly in his speeches what they will be, and has mapped out a programme more ambitious and more extensive than even Mr. Roosevelt himself ever attempted. Mr. Taft proposes to sub mit the whole programme to Congress at one time to ask in a single mes sage for the enactment of laws that. If they are passed, will mark the coming session of Congress as truly epoch making. Most of the bills he proposes to have introduced affect corporations In one way or another, and the most impor tant of them promise to arouse fully as much opposition as anything that developed In the fight over pe rate bill three yearsago. Corporation Programme Extensive. Mr. Taft will propose to Congress Important legislation upon at least ten subjects. Each is a matter which will provoke discussion and arouse opposi tion in Congress, especially in the Sen ate, so that from tha present point of view the prospect is for a long and acrimonious session. The chjef sub jects on which the President, will recommend legislation are: . 1. ' Supervision of the issue of stocks and bonds by Interstate corporations. 2. Readjustment of the duties and powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission. 3. Expansion of the duties of the Bureau of Corporations. 4. Creation -of a new bureau In the De partment of Justice to deal with violations of law by interstate carriers. 5.

Amendment of the procedure regarding the granting of injunctions. XO. Conservation of natural resources. Other subjects, . of minor Importance when compared with the main issue, but not insignificant of themselves, will be included and will give Congress plenty to do when it is tired of strug gling over corporation questions. Not Corporation Enemy. President Taft makes it no secret that he wants this subject of corpora tions to be uppermost in the session. When the corporation tax was under discussion during the fight over the tariff bill at the special session, the President referred to it as "the first step" in the regulation of corporations. At that time he let It be known that he considered the proposed bill to control (Concluded on Page 2.) CAUSING SEPARATION. Lack or Air.
