The Institute has also arranged to carry on the health conservation work of the Postal Life Insurance Company, which haa for several years extended the privilege ot a yearly health ex amination to its policyholders without cost. Arrangements with other com panies are under consideration. The method to be nsed to prolong life is simple and the same as applied to ordinary machinery inspection and re pairs. After the human machine has been inspected, the individual will be ad vised to see his family physician, who will be furnished a full statement of what is the matter incipient tubercu losis, hich blood pressure, or whatever the disability or disabilities may be. The Institute will employ physicians throughout the land to art as medical examiners and to co-operate In this new movement to prevent and check disease. This suggests the method of the Chi nese, who employ physicians to Keep them well Instead of to treat them after they hare become seriously 111. The Institute plans to make arrange ments not only with life Insurance com panies but with schools, industrial es tablishments, clubs and individuals.

HUNT FOR MAU WHO CRIED"FIRE"ISVAIH Two of Score of Witnesses at Coroner's Inquest Say In signia Was Worn. OTHERS SAY DIFFERENTLY Investigation Into Deportation ol Sloyer Reveals Nothing, Mac- " Xaugliton Den) Ins He AVas at Disturbance Scene. CALUMET, Miclu. Dec. 29. Out of a score or more of witnesses two per sons testified today before a Coroner's Jury that the man who caused the Christmas eve disaster here wore a white button similar to the badge ot the - Citizens' Alliance. Immediately after adjournment of the bearing, O. N. Hilton, the Denver attorney In charge of the Western Federation of Miners' legal interests, announced that further development of this phase of the Inquiry would be attempted to morrow. The Federation's lawyer did not com ment upon the fact that the president and a half dosen members of tbe wom en's auxiliary of the Federation swore they saw no insignia on the man and that union members who stood In the vestibule of Italian Hall for an hour before the panic started said the alarm came from within the ball and no person wearing such a button had passed them. Member af Audience Blamed. In the opinion of Anthony Lucas, Prosecuting Attorney of Houghton County, who conducted the examina tion of witnesses, facts fairly well es tablished today were that an excitable member of the audience raised the cry, that there was no actual fire in the hall and that the doors were open and. the stairyway clear when the panic started, "All we want is a finding based upon facts developed at the Inquest," said Mr. Hilton. "The identity of the mis creant who started the mad rush for the stairs Is of paramount Importance and we intend to do what we can to clear this up." The testimony as to the button was given by two witnesses. John Burcar, who gave his age as 16 and said he had lost a sister In the disaster, excitedly told of having seen a man muffled to his eyes In a fur-collared overcoat enter the hall. "He hollered 'fire' and then ran out." the boy said. "I ran out, too. He bad an Alliance button on bis coat." All Asree It Was Maa. The other witness Mrs. John H. Koskl said she was 20 feet from the man. who wore a dark blue coat, on which was a white button. "It looked like an Alliance button." she said, "but I was too far away to read it." One or two witnesses said there had been some confusion in the hall before the panic started, but women in charge of the celebration denied this. Virtually all witnesses agreed that the first alarm came from a man. that It was taken up at once In different parts of the hall, and that the rush for the exit was Instantaneous. Little progress was made today in solving the circumstances attending the deportation of Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, last Friday night Union at torneys were busy with the Coroner's Inquiry Into the Italian Hall district, and county officers investigating the case had little to give out. Claude C Taylor, president of the Michigan State Federation of Labor, ar rived tonight and at once went Into conference with the local labor lead ers, who asked him to come here im mediately after Moyer's deportation. Sappvrt la Pledged. Taylor told tbem they could count on the united support of his organiza tion for the further conduct of the strike and not only his own time and efforts were at their disposal, but that dozens of other Michigan men were ready to lend their aid. Interest centered in the untangle ment of statetnents bringing the names of James MacNaughton, general man ager of the Calumet Hecla Mining Company. Into the case. O. N. Hilton, chief counsel for the Federation, and Mrs. MacNaughton each issued state ments. "Mr. Moyer told me In Chicago that he was thoroughly convinced In his own mind that the man In question was James MacNaugrhton," Mr. Hilton said. "He did not say that he knew Mac Naughton personally and I believe that the statement that Mr. Moyer claimed to have met the general manager of the Calumet & Hecla Company in con ferences Is based on misapprehension. "What Mr. Moyer told me was sub stantially this: That when the mob had dragged him to the depot In Houghton a man who physically answered the description of MacNaugh ton alighted from an automobile, cursed him and searched his pockets, taking two wallets, one containing money which was returned and the other! holdinc private papers and a ten dollar bill, which was kept. Leader Addreaaed as -Has. "This man was addressed by othar r h-. nnt am .Um ' and wore a general air of authority that agrees with Maoaugmon s persunsiiiy. am man told Mr. Moyer that If he ever came back to the copper country he would hang him." "Let me repeat that any charge made bv Mr. Moyer connecting me In any way with the event at Houghton is maliciously false," said Mr. MacNaugb ton. "I waa in Calumet all evening, calling with my wife on a friend and then accompanying him across the street from his home to a club." The grand jury which Is to be asked to consider the Moyer affair will re convene tomorrow. Mine managers continued today to strengthen their forces of workmen at every possible point. Reports had It that several carloads of nonunion men have arrived, but these could not be substantiated. Neither was there com plete confirmation of rumors that sev eral hundred nonunion men had quit their positions and left for Chicago. W. J. MacDonaltL Congressional rep resentative of the upper peninsula dis trict, arrived on a late train tonight He said that in the four or five days at bis disposal he intended to collect all the first-hand information available bearing upon the Moyer incident and the strike situation generally. Funeral Films Stolea. Moving pictures taken of yesterday's funeral procession probably will not be exhibited. The operator reported that his room in a local hotel had been broken into and the films stolen. The case was found several blocks away from the hostelry, but beyond this circumstance the local police said they had no clew to the details of the robbery.
