Wellington, Wash.,, March 4. As the
hours go by the horrors of the dis
aster near Scenic, at the mouth of the
Cascade Tunnel, where a mighty ava.
lanche carried two great heavy trains
from the tracks of the Great Northern
'Railway down into the canyon hun-r
dreds of feet below, grow. ;
Today it is certain 115 persons per
ished. Others may be buried under
the frozen, mass but the officials who
have been taking a census ofthe mis
sing declare this is unlikely." Thirty
five bodies have been recovered. Thirty-one
have been identified. Today
they lie side by side, tenderly wrap
ped in blankets, waiting the repair of
the railway so that they can be car
ried to places of burial.
The work of recovering the bod'es
is pitifully slow. The nature of the
. slide, the enormous mass of earth,
ed hard to a depth ex-Jedlng 50 feet.
Heavy snow falling almost continually
interferes with the work of the labor
ers and volunteers who have flocked
here from every part of the state. The
whole marks the worst tragedy in the
history of railroading in the north
west and it will be many weeks before
normal conditions can be restored.
The scene about the mouth of the
tunnel is awe Inspiring. The great
bare mountain towers upward to a
height of 3,000 feet. One week ago it
was covered with snow above which
the tops of the trees towered. Today
it is swept bare of all vegetation.
Great furrows mar the black face of
the loam as though mad by plows.
Great indentures show where monster
trees were torn out. Boulders are left
in fantastic heaps where they dropped
out of the avalanche.
Down in the canyon Into which the
trains were carried are acres of snow
dotted on the surface with logs, stumps
of trees, pieces of broken railroad
equipment, like wreckage in a still
white lake.
On Its surface can be seen men car
rying long rods which from time to
time they use as probes endeavoring
to locate the solid wreckage.
Awaya across the canyon the snow
is piled up 300 feet where it broke
against the mountainous side. The
upper edge is strewn with timbers
looking like a wooded beach at low
de .
Railroad men who have grown gray
fighting the snow in the mountains
estimate that there was a half million
tons weight in the slide when it reach
ed the stalled trains. This vast mass,
running at a great rate of speed, hit
the -two heavy trains and the massed
rotary plows and. carried them like
light reeds down into the canyon and
destruction.
The bodies that have been taken out
of the mass were all near the sur
face. The work of recovering the oth
ers seems almost an impossible task.
Toiling in the snow at the base of the
slide the men work slowlyand careful
ly. Whenever anything solid is located
with the divining rods a force of shov
Special Correspondent
ellers is hurried to the spot. They dig
as rapidly as possible but the work
is discouraging as the snow falls back
almost as soon as it is removed. Us
ually it is a piece of baggage or a bit
of broken car that is uncovered and
the general beliefe is now that most of
the buried bodies are so far below the
surface that it. will be a long time be
fore they can be reached.
All hope for those in the Pullmans
has been abandoned. It was at first
thought that some might be alive ow
ing to substantial construction of the
cars, but as the digging proceeds it
becomes more evident that even the
eteel mail oars were not powerful
enough to withstand the pressure and
that they gave before it like struc
tures of tin.
From Skykomish, 16 miles from the
scene of the disaster, a constant
stream of relatives of the dead is mak
ing its way on foot to where the work
ers are. The railroad men stationed
along the track try vainly to drive
them back. But they waited too long
without word and they are not to be
denied, willing as they are to risk
their lives to find out definitely if
those they loved are indeed dead.
The scenes about the Jittle hotel at
the mouth of the tunnel are heart
breaking. Here wait those who know
they have relatives in the debris and
here they say they will remain until
the bodies are found.
A pitiful tragedy is that of Mrs.
Starrett, who sits dry-eyed, just inside
of the hotel' waiting- and hoping
against hope. A. year ago, her hus
band, an engineer on the Great North
ern, was killed, on' the road only a
short distance from here. Her father
and mother, her son Raymond, and her
two little girls were passengers on the
ill-fated Spokane-Seattle express.
When the slide came just one year to
the ' day from the time of her hus
band's death, she and Raymond were
saved in some miraculous and unex
plained manner. But father, mother
and the two girls are buried in the
white tomb below and she waits and
watches, and hopes against hope.
The body of Conductor Pettitt of
Everett was taken out today. He was
one of the heroes of the disaster.
Fearing that a slide would come he
headed a party of passengers that
strue-gled through the snow from his
imprisoned train to Scenic. When he
reached that point he was warned that
it might cost him his life to try to
get back! He spurned the . advice.
His duty was with his train and he
went back to get more passengers and
bring them out. He got back to the
taain to meet death with the passen
gers in the canyon.
The only persons not residents of the
northwest who were killed are Bert
Matthews of Cincinnati, Edward Boles
of Noberly, Ontario, and E. W. Topp
ing of Ashland, Ohio.
Everett, Wash., March 4. A report
reached the officials of the Great
Northern Railroad in this city that one
of the cars buried by the great snow
slide near Wellington has been reach
ed Intact and that ten of the persons
in it were still alive but suffering ter
ribly from exposure. The report is
not confirmed as the wires to the scene
of the disaster are destroyed and the
news from there has to be brought a
considerable distance by courier.
The heavy snowstorm of yesterday
and last night has changed to an icy
rain today and is retarding the work
of restoring communication as well as
hampering the force at work on the
slide.
Everett, March 4. Officials of the
Great Northern today denied reports
that 10 persons had beep rescued alive
from the train struck by an avalanche
near Willington, Wsh. One man had
been rescued "half dead after 60 hours
in the imprisoned train and it is hop
ed that some others may be found but
the chance are slim.
RAILROADS TIED
UP BY TORRENTS
GREAT DAMAGE BY WASHOUTS
TO ST. PAUL AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC.
(Special from United Press.)
Butte, March 4. The Chicago, Mi1
waukee, Puget Sound and the North
ern Pacific & Butte, Anaconda and
Pacific Railroads are indefinitely tied
up west of this city by torrents
sweeping down Silver Bow Canyon
with such force as to tear out big
piles faster than they can be driven
to replace washed out bridges. The
St. Paul road is also tied up east of
Butte and all freight traTfic in and
out of Butte is at a standstill except
on the Oregon Short Line.
Large crews were put to work to
break up gorges today. The gorges
are growing larger and water is back
ing up for a considerable distance. It
is predicted inestimable damage to
railroad property wilt result. The
Northern Pacific's double track and
the St. Paul roads follow the Deer
river for several miles.
TO CALL
STRIKE
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. Fails to
Join Movement Calling for Court
of Arbitration.
Peace Terms Off and Labor Unions Will
Hare to Make Good Threat of
General Strike Tonight.
(Special from United Press.)
Philadelphia, March 4. At noon to
day the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company had failed to answer the let
ter asking that the company join the
strikers in asking the common pleas
court to appoint three members of a
court of nine to arbitrate the existing
differences.
Peace negotiations are therefore" off
and the labor unions will be forced to
make good their threat to call a gen
eral strike of the 100.000 union men in
Philadelphia, at midnight tonight.
Four thousand special policemen
have been sworn in in the past week
and they will be thrown into all sec
tions of the city tonight to preserve
order. The situation has become acute
If the six thousand regular and special
policemen cannot cope with the situa
tion a request may be made to Gov
ernor Stuart to order out the National
Guard.
How many men will go out on a
general strike tonight it is impossible
to say. The strike leaders today re
peated their statements made earlier
in the week that 75,000 men will quit
immediately and others will follow
shortly. City authorities, ori the other
hand, declare not more than lo.OOO men
will quit.
The street car company declares it
is running more than 1,000 cars today
half the normal quota. No disorders
nave been reported but with the sus
pension of labor this afternoon by men
who will imimediately join in a sym
pathetic strike trouble is feared.
It developed here this afternon that
the arbitration act of 1893, referred to
by Mayor Reyburn In his message to
councils, was declared - unconstitution
al during the big strike at McKees
Rocks by Judge McFarlan.
COL. ASTOR IS
FORBIDDEN TO
MARRY AGAIN
But Mrs. Astor, Who Gets Der Final De
cree Today, May Wed if
She Desires.
Justice Kills Disregarding (he Requests
of Lawyers Says the Papers Are
Not to be Sealed.
(Special from United Press.)
White Plains, N. Y., March 4. The
Una! decree of divorce granted Mrs.
Ava Willing Astor from her husband,
John Jacob Astor, the multi-millionaire
was signed in the supreme court here
today. Motion that the interlocutory
judgment rendered four months ago
be made permanent was granted, upon
motion by attorneys for Mrs. Astor.
There was no opposition. Justice
Mills signed papers and ordered that
they-be filed in- the office of the clerk
of Duchess County at Poughkeepsie.
It had been the intention of the at
torneys in the case to ask that the pa
pers in the case be sealed, but Justice
Mills, without waiting for any requests
from the lawyers, took the papers and
endorsed them:
"These papers are not to be sealed."
He then handed them back to the at
torneys and they made no protest, it
having been intimated to them that
protests would be of no avail. They,
however, refused to permit anyone to
see the papers until after they had
been filed with the county clerk.
It developed that no alimony is men
tioned in the papers. This matter has
been arranged by conferences between
the attorneys for both sides. One re
port is that Mrs. Astor receives an in
come of $300,000 a year.
In the decree, which confirms the
report of Charles H. Youngs as referee,
which was filed on November 10, last
Mrs. Astor is restored to the use of
her maiden name, Ava Willing. She is
given the custody of her daughter
while the son is awarded to his father.
Colonel Astor is forbidden to marry
again in the life-time of his former
wife, but Mrs. Astor may wed agains
if she so desires.
News of the final winding up of the
divorce proceedings did not come to
Colonel Astor until some time after the
decree was signed. He remained in
bed until late following a ball which
he gave last night to celebrate the
opening of his new home at 65th street
and 5th avenue. One hundred and fif
ty guests, most of them famous in so
ciety, attended and there was a general
air of jubilation, the fact that he was
to resume the ranks of the unwed, to
day seemingly greatly pleasing ' the
host. The favors for the women were
hand carved and painted parasols
while the men received expensive
smoking sets.
GRIFFIN TO

STATE CLAIMS MURDER
IN FIRST DEGREE BY
SLAYERS
Prosecutor DeLaney, in Opening Argument, Says That Kill
ing of Unfortunate Teamster Occurred in the Effort to
Commit a Felony Defense Argue That His Death Was
From Bright's Disease Aggravated by Alcoholism, and
Not From Blow on HQad.
All the evidence in the case of Clara
Sprague and Fred Raynor for the al
leged murder of James Mullen, has
been submitted to the jury. This
morning counsel for the State and the
accused began arguments to the jury,
following which the court will charge
the jury. It is expected that the case
will go to the jury about 4 o'clock.
The court has mapped out a program,
the counsel for each side being allowed
two hours in which to argue. The
court will use one hour in his 'charge.
Prosecuting Attorney Alexander L.
DeLaney began the arguments for the
State. He said that the State and de
fense were in harmony up to the time
when Mrs. Sprague and Mullen were
in the former's rooms; then differ as
to how he came by his death; and
again agree from, the time Mullen was
carried down the three flights of stairs
and placed at the rear of Brock's cafe.
"The State's witnesses, both Mr. Fow
ler, his employer, and of Mr. Plumley,
who knew Mullen, knew that Mullen
had money. Fowler had seen a roll
of bills, and Plumley had seen Mullen
open his best and touching his, pocket
say, 'I've got money.
"Why did she bring him to her
room? The defense states that Mul
len asked to go there. No, she took
him by the arm while on the street
and led him to her den of iniquity and
crime. Took him there, as the State
claims, beyond a reasonable doubt to
rob him of the money she knew he
possessed. If they did not intend to
rob him why did Raynor say to Airs.
Sprague in the station at South Nor
walk. which conversation was over
head by Mr. Stearns, 'You gave me a
dirty deal, you got all the money, I'm
going to quit.' But she wouldn't let
him quit, she was going to see him
witn her to Danbury.
SIDNEY ROSENFELD, NOTED
PLAYWRIGHT, WOULD TAKE
POOR DEBTOR'S OATH
Last Money He Took in Was
Now Mrs. Rosenfield is Giving
$25 a Week Double Life
Life in New York Lost
Is it cheaper to live a double life
than to live a single? Sidney Rosen
feld, the celebrated playwright, says
that it is, but declares that to do it
one must live in gay Paree, rather
than in New York city. ,
Rosenfeld, author of many dra
matic successes, and of others that
were not, was today before Judge
Howard B. Scott, in the Common
Pleas court, an applicant to take the
poor debtor's oath. Last November
Quincy -b. ousning, or new lore, ob
tained a judgment of $529.18 against
Rosenfeld, which the latter has neg
lected to pay, stating that he has not
the - means. Rosenfeld at the time
the suit was brought, and at the
present time, has his legal residence
in Bethel, having a handsome home
there. Prior to this he lived . in
apartments in Matilda Court, 310
West 95th street, New York. He en
gaged the apartments from Gushing,
who is a real estate agent. He later
left the house in care of a house
keeper, who was not to the liking of
the real estate owners, and was
ejected. The place went unoccupied
for some time, and a Dill was sent
to Rosenfeld for $495 for rent, but
refusing to come up, the real estate
dealer brought suit in the Common
Pleas court of this county, judgment
being rendered in his favor.
On the stand today Rosenteia aid
not present the appearance of one
who could not pay nis Dins, tte
looked the part of a well fed in
dividual, who enjoys the best life has
to offer. He was asked by counsel
for the defendant, Attorney John
Hayes of New York what his occu
pation is. r
He replied, "l am writing a piay
which I will call, 'The Divorce Col
ony.' At the present time one of my
plays, 'The Children or uestiny is ne
ing played at the Hudson Theatre."
JUDGE HOUGH WILL
HAVE NOTHING TO
DO WITH HEINZE
ON FOUR. OCCASIONS WHEN
GOVERNMENT HAS HAD IN
DICTMENTS AGAINST COPPElt
MAGNATE HE HAS SUSTAIXKD
DEMURRERS AND DISMISSED
THE CASE.
(Special from United Press.)
New York, March 4. When the
case of Fritz Augustus Heinze, the
Montana Copper Magnate indicted
again yesterday in connection with
alleged fraudulent practices while in
control of the Mercantile National
Bank over two years ago, n came be
fore Judge Hough today the judge
refused to have anything more to do
with the case.
The government has secured the
indictment of Heinze on four sepa
rate occasions and in every instance
Judge Hough has sustained the de
murrers interposed. The last time
the case came before him he inti
mated strongly that the government'?
proceedings were without warrant of
law and when Heinze, accompanied
by his attorney, came into court to
ULLEN
"The State does not claim that it
was a premeditated murder, but it
does claim that robbery was the mo
tive. It claims that the two accused
intended to do their victim a. grevious
harm, to make him unable to resist.
Our law plainly states that in the per
petration of a felony, where a killing
is do.ne, it is murder in the first degree-"
John J. Phelan. counsel for Raynor,
made a brilliant argument for his cli
ent. He said:
"This was a drunken deba.unch that
brought all this killing about. This
alleged murder would not have hap
pened except that Mullen was there to
promote a certain purpose. Ha was
willing to pay - for going to those
rooms. It is claimed that there is a
murder in the first degree, it being
alleged that the accused robbed him
and in that robbery beat him to death.
It is important then that this fact be
brought before you, that if a robbery
was committed and that after the rob
bery was over the assault was com
mitted, it is not first degree murder.
Exit was there a murder committed at
all? I make the claim on behalf of
my client, Raynor. that there was no
murder committed. Dr. Downs has
stated that it is believed that the in
jury on the side of his head caused
his death. He says also that he
might have died from Bright's disease
or he may have had a convulsion, but
it was his impression that the injury
caused death. But Doctors Fitzgerald
and Cowell, both eminent physicians
of long standing, state that in the'r
opinions' the injuries were not of suf
ficient severity to cause death. Both
physicians under the expert cross-examination
maintained till the last that
this man died from uraemic convul
sions superinduced by alcoholism."
$50 for a Song, "The Money
it Back to Him at the Rate of
in Paris Cheaper Than Single
Money on "The Octopus."
"How much money have you earn
ed? asked Mr. Hayes.
"In the last five years I have earn
ed $13,000."
"What was the last amount you
earned .'
"Fifty dollars, last week, for a
song. The money I gave to my
wife.
"Who is the owner of the large
home in which you reside in Bethel?
"My wife."
"Where did she get it."
"I gave it to her."
"That $18,000; what did you do
with it?"
"Lost most of it. On the produc
tion of 'The Octopus' I lost at least
$10,000."
"What was the matter with the
piece ?"
"I thought it was good, but no one
else did."
"How much does it cost for you to
live a week?"
"Your honor," said Rosenfeld.
turning to the court, "do I have to
answer that question. Supposed I
am living a double life, it will ail
have to come out here. I don't want
my wife to know it. But, a friend
of mine says that it is cheaper to live
a double life in Paris than to live
singly in New York."
"Answer the question," said the
judge, who could . not suppress a
smile.
"Well it costs me $25 a week to
live."
"Where do you get the money?"
"My wife gives it to me."
"What rent do you pay in New
York ?"
"At the Hotel Remington, $21 per
week for room and board, the $4 .1
have to spend all on myself."
"Haven't you a bank account?''
"No, not a cent in the world."
Rosenfield will know within a few
days if the court will allow him to
take the oath, Judge Scott reserving
his decision.
day it was plain to Judge Hough tat
the new indictments cover the ground
already disposed of by him.
"I have already intimated thai
enough indictments have been found
against this man," said the judge,
"and I see no reasons why I should
hear any more. I will have nothing
more to do with this case."
Attorney - Stanchfleld asked what
disposition was to be made of the
case and Judge Hough , stated thivt
he would accept a plea of not -"iilty
with leave to withdraw or demur out
that he would not pass upon the
merits of the case." The plea was
then entered and Judge Hough or
dered the case transferred to tha
criminal branch of the circuit court
where it will come up next Monday,
with Judge Holt presiding.
