DELAGUA. Colo, Nov. . Through

news that others were alive In the No.
2 workings.

sensible from the effects of the after
damp, all night, recovered his senses

feet Ions, which blocks the main slope.
It may be many days before the bodies
are recovered.
The rescue work todsy brought a
constant series of narrow escapes to
rescuers. Many were overcome and
were carried out on the backs of their
companions. J. C. Roberta, In charge
of the Government mine rescue car and
some of his men lost their way In the
unfamiliar workings Just In time to
stumble on to a party of the rescuers
who were almost overcome. The Gov
ernment experts Immediately applied

men to the surface.

oxygen helmets. They worked their wsy
slong the entry and heard the faint tap
ping of a pick on solid rock, the wireless
rail of the miner. Realising that at
least some of their comrades were alive,
they attacked the fallen mass of rock
that blocked the entry with renewed
hope. When they tore through the cave,
they found four Slav miners alive and
unhurt. They wers i0 feet from the
surfsce without helmets and without a
moment's hesitation. Evans snd one of
the other rescuers took otf their helmets
snd gave them to the rescued men and

ROLL OF BUTTER GUILTY

Med ford Court Finis Pure Food
v Law Is Unconstitutional, and
Inspector Protest.
That the food law was violated by
the roll of butter that failed to attain
tha required standard of weight, and
that the firm which sold It was guilty
of no violation of law waa ruled by
Justice of Peace Cannon, of Medtord.
recently. Mo said Inspector Shrock. who
returned yesterday from a trip Into
Southern Oregon.
The Justice held the law unconstitu
tional as applying to the seller because
It failed to contain tha words, "any
person who sells." within the provi
sion that -every square or roll of but
ter kept exposed or offered for sale in
the State of Oregon ahall contain not
less thsn eight ounces. It ounces or
13 ounces, and each square or roll of
butter shall be plainly marked with
the number of ounces they contain."
The Justice remarked, in deciding the
. s
case, that tbe law provided for tha
guilt of the roll of butter, but not for
that of "any person."
The State Food and Dairy Commis
sioner protests that a Justice of the
Peace has no authority to decide con
atltutlonal questions, and also that the
law clearly provides in its last section
that "any person violating any of the
provision of this act shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor." The case in
question was that In which Warner,
Wortman A Gore, of . Med ford, bought
some butter and offered it for
sale without verifying the weights.
Inspector Shrock prosecuted 16 cases
on his recent trip and obtained 15 con
victions. FLEEING LAWYER CAUGHT

President Henninger of Closed
Seaside Concern Returns.
PORTLAND MAN MAY HELP
B. S. BarUrh Is Expected by De
positors to Come to Relief--President
of Wrecked Institutloa
Broken In Spirit.
SEASIDE. Or., Nov. S. (Special.)
President W. S. Henninger, of th. closed
bank of Seaside, arrived here last night
and went directly to his home, where he
has been ever since. Hs has issued no
statement and even Howard Leighton.
who is secretary of the Seaside Lum
ber ft Manufacturing Company, of
which he is also president, has not been
advised aa to the real condition of ths
affairs relative to the bank trouble.
Attorney Frank Spittle of Astoria ar
rived on the noon train and went di
rectly to Henninger's home.
Henninger was in Astoria yesterday
afternoon In consultation with Spittle,
who is attorney for the mill interests
and acting attorney for this city. He
made a settlement with him to cover
the amount of city money on deposit
at the time the bank closed.
The suicide cashier was City Treas
urer. His last thought, written in a
note found in his coat pocket by the
Coroner, was to the effect that he was
afraid to live because the loss of the
city funds might be the meane of send
ing him to the penitentiary.
Observation Car Is Avoided.
Henninger did not ride in the obser
vation car last night, as Is his custom,
but occupied a rear seat in one of the
day coaches. He did not speak to any
one during his Journey from Astoria.
His hat was pulled down over his eyes
snd he held a magazine In front of
his face. People who knew the man
k loft here a few weeks ago
-vrould not recognize him, as he is pale
and his sunken lace snows mo
through which he has passed.
Although asserting that he Is not in
terested in tbe bank in any way, B. a
Bartch arrived here from Portland on
the noon train today and immediately
went to his Summer home at the south
end of the board walk. As he is a man
with considerable means the depositors
hope to prove that he Is still acting
as bank president, retaining 15000 in
stock which ne iuDcrco
tin
ime the bank was stanea.
Storm Closes Logging Camps.
The mill is still in operation but ths
logging-camps have been shut down,
presumably on account of ths bad storm
which is raging in this vicinity.
The ocean is rolling very heavily and
will do considerable damage to the
board walk on the high tide tonight
unless the wind subsides.
The Buildings along Bridge street
have suffered considerable damage by
the breaking of window glasses and a
number of shutters have been blown
from the windows of ths Summer cot
tages. '
