The rope pariea u.i h. loariori skin was about to be dumped in the gallows frame. In its fall the skip struck the shaft timbers at the surface, causing a cave-ln of 40 feet, which closed the shaft completely. The telephone wires and the air pipe were not Injured, and the men were Informed of the situation. ine im nriond miners climbed the ladders from the 1800 and 1000-foot levels to the 100-foot level, where tney now are.

The raiding of more gambling dens where strsngers are "fleeced" In crook ed games Is promised between now and Saturday br Tom Word. ex-Sheriff, who has started a cru'ade against many stub places which he says exist In the city. The trial of the seven men ar rested Monday night ai the Orpheus A.MTA STEWART, OF NEW YORK. Club on charges of gambling has been set for Saturday morning, at which time Will C. Gibson, a paroled prisoner from the Oregon Penitentiary, who Is said to have been one of the victims of the Orpheus Club men. will be called upon to testify. Mr. Word sas-s he expects to have others In Jail before that time. "The experience of Gibson In being lured to the Orpheus Club and prac tically robbed of his money has been enough to convince me that this gam bling business should be brought to an end." said Mr. Word yesterday. "Gibson was out on parole, and he was lured Into the place because It was known he had money. I can conceive of no worse crime than a person getting hold of a rnan who has Just got out of the penitentiary on parole and sending him back by robbing him of everything he has and getting him drunk. "There are many such places in the city. They are being run under many names and are supposed to be reputable clubs and business organizations. They are a disgrace to a city the size of Portland. They are the cause of the downfall of many a young man who would never think of gambling If ha were not taken into one of the organi zations, believing it to be a reputable society. I intend to use every energy at my command to raid these places and bring them to an end." "ONLY GIRL" MAY LOSE WILL KDAYIV HAYVLEY WROTE IN 103 CAXXOT BE FOrXD. Late Railroad Financier' "Home Town" Expected Ho Would Leave Million to Woman. NEW YORK. Feb. 7. (Special.) Although word has come from Chat ham. N. Y.. the lat Edwin Hawley's native town, that the railroad finan cier made a will In 1902, no . trace of th document has ben found. A futile search of more than a week has con vinced some of his frtends that liawley did not leave a wllL Ilia personal es tate la estimated to be worth $40. 000. 000. . It Is commonly known In Chatham that be had spoken of leaving 11,000. 000 to each of his near relatives and that to Mrs. Lou Payn. Jr.. and her two children, he would leave another f 1.000.000. Mrs. Lou Payn. Jr.. was Miss Florence Hayner. Mr. Hawley waa In love with her and wanted to make her his wife. "She was married to a son of Lou Payn." said a friend of the family to day. "Mr. Hawley never got over It. There never was another woman In his life. She was the "one and only one." In his disappointment he threw him self more deeply Into business." Justice of the Peace Crandall. of Chatham, brother-in-law of Mr. Haw ley. said today that, lacking a will, his relatives would share his estate in proportions fixed by law. Although no contest is expected among the heirs there is some conjec ture as to Just what effect the lack of the will may have upon many Inter ests with which he was connected. That no serious financial entangle ments will result from the absence of a will was the sentiment expressed this afternoon by Newman Erb, one of the dead financier's most Intimate busi ness associates. Erb said even though the will is never found, all heirs are la harmony. The large Interests Hawley con trolled are so thoroughly safeguarded, said Erb. that it Is impossible for se rious trouble to arise. "If no will la found," said Erb, "no part of the estate can be sold by the heirs until a year has passed.. That is the law. "All of Hawley's plans will be care fully carried out to their conclusion Just aa he planned." TAFT WILL SEND WILSON President Unable to Attend Dry Farming CongTea In Alberta. EDMONTON.
