CHERRY. EI., Nov. 16. Troops have
been called to prevent any -untoward
demonstration at the St. Paul coal mine,
when bodies of the 300 men entombed
by Saturday's catastrophe are brought to
the surface. Sheriff Skoglund, of Bureau
County, wkith authority from State's At
torney Eckhart, telegraphed to Spring
field lat today, asking Governor Deneen
to send several companies of state militia.
So fac no violence has been displayed
and State's Attorney Eckhart hopes by
the presence of a small guard to prevent
any ill-advised move on the part of tha
miners, whose feelings have been wrought
up by the loss of their comrades.
"We want the troops at once; that's
all there is about it. We will take no
chances." declared the State's Attorney.
Two companies of militia from Gales
hurgr and one from Kewanee have been
ordered to report here at midnight.
"The decision to call for troops was
agreeable to all concerned," said Sheriff
Skoglun. "It was thought that when
they began to take up the bodies con
fusion might ensue. The coming of
troops does not change the situation,
for the mine Is practically In the hands
of the state, owing to the presence of
the State Mine Inspectors."
A fire engine with other' fire-fighting
apparatus from Chicago also arrived
tonight and was set up at the mouth of
the mine.
All Thought to Be Dead.
When the bodies will be brought to the
surface Is doubtful. None of the offi
cials believes any of the 300 entombed
men are alive. The subterranean fires
today were more Intense than when the
men were entrapped three days ago, and
no efforts could be made to enter the
mine.
Fire Chief Horan, of Chicago, arrived
with a supply of hose and chemical fire
extinguishers. The seal over the mouth
of the shaft was perforated and it was
Intended to force water and chemicals
down through pipes. A thermometer in
the sand on top . of the seal showed a
temperature of 110 degrees. Indicating
that heat In the Interior of the mine was
Intense. Chief Koran shook his head.
"It s no use."" he said, "to lift the lid
today, as It would mean that the whole
mine would blaze up and there would be
no possibility of recovering even the
bodies. The coal deposits would take
fire and the timber supports would crum
ble. Perhaps another shaft will have to
be dug to recover the remains of the
men."
Eighty-six homes visited were, with the
exception of children, without male mem
bers. Cause of Disaster Sought.
Speculation was rife as to the location
of the bodies in the mine. Upon this will
be determined the immediate cause of the
men's death whether It was fire, suffo
cation by smoke, or the falling In of
parts of the mine. It Is the opinion of
veteran mlneworkers that In time of
danger a miner will remain near the
hoisting shaft until driven to remoter
parts in searca of air. If the bodies are
found near the shaft, it was declared. It
would Indicate the men perished by fire.
If they are found in the more distant
galleries, suffocation by smoke or gas
was probably the cause of death.
The repeated sealing up of the mouth
of the mine. ' necessary to stop draught
and smother the fire, it is held, was
'sufficient to generate enough gas to kill
the men in any part of the mine.
The location of the bodies will Indicate
also about when the men died, for nox
ious gases did not become fatally dense
until some time after the first fire was
subdued. The belief was expressed by
Mine Manager Taylor that men in the
mine died soon after the disaster Satur
day. Taylor has repeatedly risked his
life to get Into the mine and yesterday
almost perished when he wandered 200
feet from the main shaft and returned
Just in time to see .the rekindled flames
eating their way toward the cage, his
only means of escape.
Taylor Has Xo Hope.
"Every man in that mine died on the
day of tho fire," said Taylor. "It is a
mistaken idea that the entombed men
could have hastened far out in the gal
leries of the mine and there found oxj--gen
enough to keep them alive for the
day. I
"It is a mistake to think that sealing
the shaft cuts off the circulation of air.
It does not. Our anemometers have
shown all along" a good circulation of air
In the shaft, but the damage that was
fatal had been done long before the mine
Concluded on Face 0.)
Indicted for Manslaughter, Reckless
Driver Is Allowed to Plead
Guilty to Assault Charge.
CHICAGO, Nov. Id Special.)Chauf
feurHallie Stokes, the chauffeur who, on
January 25, ran down and killed Miss
Emma Wlnkelman. was today given
three months in Jail, "as a warning to
other reckless chauffeurs."
The killing of Miss Wlnkelman was par
ticularly atrocious. She was on her way
home from church and had Just stepped
out of a car when Stokes, driving his
machine at a furious clip, tossed her 20
feet to the stone pavement, killing her In
stantly.
Without a backward glance, he kept
on his way and escaped. He eluded the
police for two days. It was. shown at the
time that he had just been dismissed by
some patrons who objected to bis reck
less driving, and was on his way back
to the barns. Eventually he was In
dicted for manslaughter, but he finally
"agreed" to plead guilty to "assault,
and on this he was sentenced to 90 days.
The case was about as near murder as
If be had slain the girl with a rifle, and
at the time the police announced they
Intended to "make an example" of him.

Storm Comes Up Soon After Marlon
Hurd Starts on Trip in Cas
cade Mountains.
EUGENE, Or., Nov. 16. (Special.)
much uneasiness Is felt here for the
safety of Marlon Hard, a forest ranger
and son of G.'F. Hurd, of this city, who
started across the Cascades by way of
the old military road ten days ago on
horseback, and from whom nothing has
been heard.
Hurd set out for his station at Ross
land, Crook County. For the past two
days the wires into Rossland have been
dowrj and no word could be had from
there until this afternoon. It was re
ported that .he had not arrived and his
whereabouts are not known.
Supervisor Seltz a', once telegraphed for
a searching party of four to start out
from Rossland, and he himself will head
a similar party to leave Eugene in the
morning. The party from here will be
followed by a six-horse team with pro
visions. At the Hill ranch Bill Hill will
Join the Seitz searching party.
The fear of Hurd's people and many
friends here is strengthened by the fact
that two men by the name of Mahan
and Roberts started across the moun
tains, but by the McKenzie route, and
they encountered so much cold and snow,
which was getting deeper as they pro
ceeded, that they came back to McKenzie
Bridge.
Here they found a family that had
Just been rescued after crossing tha sum
mit of the mountains from the other
side almost frozen. They had been
brought in on horseback, their own horses
having perished in the enow from fatigue.
It is possible that Hurd is at the Sig-
don ranch, but no word can be had
from there. Again he may have made
his camp In the mountains, but his sup
plies were not sufficient to last him long.

In our church who are supporting the
mother church directors. Today I have
received a copy of her letter addressed
to the trustees of our church.
. "For 25 years I have gladly obeyed her
In every question. I have always found
that by doing this T drew nearer to God.
Students know that I have taught them
to do likewise, without questioning her
wisdom; therefore, they do not need any
wod from me in adding to what our be
loved leader has said to guide them at
this hour.
Declares Judgment Right.
"They will know that it Is right for
them to unite with those who supported
the mother church directors In the judg
ment rendered against me. I myself
have been obeying that judgment and I
shall continue to do so. I shall, further
more, obey my leader by uniting with
those who felt it was right to condemn
me in their testimony. My leader's let
ter induces me to believe that I may have
been wrong where I felt that I was ab
solutely right.
"For 25 years I have watched and
prayed for guidance and strength in cor
recting every error revealed to me by
God and by my leader or by any of my
brethren."

SPOKANE. Wash., Nov. 16. (Special.)
Because fire was destroying a carload
of baled hay at Chewelah, north of Spo

beyond reach of a Are hydrant, Chewelah
volunteers moved the fire to the water

Chemicals falling to check the fire be
cause of the compact hay bales, the load
was shunted down the track, hose was
attached to a fire plug, the flames were
extinguished, and the car vas returned
to the depot minus its roof and sides.
