valled about tbe mouth of the mlno,
Whero thousands wore congregated,
r-?me standing for hours and others
Jnovlnsr momentarily from one ' point
pf vantage to another. News from the
Interior of the mine still la awaited
"with Intense Interest. Tho cnra of
debris also are anxiously awaited by
bereaved relatives, hoping against
hope that their loved onea may bo
nllve. The ominous silence only was
broken to-day when Rev. B. M. Ritchie,
pastor of Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, at Coal Crcok, exhorted those
^vlthln the hearing of his powerful
voice to accept tho disaster of Satur?
day as a warning and prepare to meet
death. Tho minister appealed to bis
hearers In behalf of their souls' sal?
vation, and declared again and again
that God had sent this visitation of
Jlis providence upon the community its
n demonstration of the certainty of j
death nnd the ever uncertainty of life, i
The minister suspended his discourse 1
nt Intervals und burst In song. In i
which hundreds joined. Prayerful sup- 1
plications also characterized the Im- .
promptu services.
.MoruliiK Train? Taxed.
Brlcevlllfc was the Mecca of in
riumerublv visitors from Knoxvjlle
Sunday. The early morning trains
were taxed to their utmost capacity.
In addition, the pike rood. thirty-live
miles from Kr.owillc to Brlccvlllc, was
alive throughout tho day with auto?
mobiles and other vehicles. It is es
tlmutej that not less than 10,000 peo?
ple have visited the scene ol the dis?
aster. The fact that to-day Is Sunday
made It possible for many to visit the ?
pconc who otherwise would not have I
been there, hence It is anticipated that I
to-morrow the thront' of strangers I
ubout the mine and the town will be
in;i t e r1.11 y lessened.
As the" visitors passed through the
rugged roads of the vlllaue leading
to the mine, none could fail to be im?
pressed with Ilia scenes of sorrow, evi?
dences of grief on all sides. Almost
pvery shanty home had its quotd of
little ones, many of whom were
fatherless, though unnble to realize
their loss. Pinchcd-fnccd women ap?
peared as If they, too, had not awaken?
ed to a complete understanding 4A
the consequences of the awful catas?
trophe.
Steps have been taken to establish
the work of tho American Red Cross
? clety. John Logan, of Atlanta,
representative of the society reached
the r ie to-night. In the meantime,
the Ited Cross flag had been con?
spicuously suspended from tho Fed?
eral mine rescue car, and its attendants
Wore prepared to administer relief of
a medical or surgical nature If called
upon. Tho work of Mr. Logan prob?
ably will be first to Investigate as
to the need of necessities of life
ej.iong the women nnd children and
take steps to supply these. Larders ,
ere empty and stores huve exhausted j
their supplies of provisions. The lack |
Of sufficient foodstuffs to supply the !
demand was emphasized when thou- i
e.ir.d went hungry because of Inability
to buy or beg food. Knoxvlllo Is send?
ing resistance, and other cities are
expected to do likewise.
L*p to G o'clock to-night, no oftlcinls
rr semi-official opinion had i>oen given
out as to the cause of the disaster.
President T. I. Stephcnson, of the
Knoxvlllo Iron Company, and others
Interested had nothing to eny in an?
swer to this Inquiry. It Is generally
believed, however, that the disaster
?wai due to a "dust explosion," which.
It Is claimed was caused hy the pres?
ence of un excess of fine coal and mine
dust upon the floor of tho mine. Tho |
mine had passed official inspections
?within the past few weeks, and wns
ti.oti 'it to bo perfectly safe. Inves?
tigations are now being made with a
!View to determining definitely the
cause of the accident, if such is pos?
sible.
Mine officials also continue to decline
t" give out any positive Information
es to the number of men who wont 1
to work in the mine yesterday morn- ?

New York, December 10.?"Oystsrs I
on the hnlf shell," a well dressed man j
said to the waiter In a Greek res- j
taurant in Huguenot Street, New Ro- ]
chelltt, last evening. "Make 'em fresh
and big," he added as the waiter i
started for the order.
Ttne man swallowed several oysters |
and then stopping, took something
from his mouth and examined it criti?
cally. Then lie iuad> a second explora?
tion of his mouth. He was so inter
ested in the other oysters that he ex- 1
amlned them carefully with a tooth
pick. Five times he was seen to reach
for his pockets after ex&minlrvg. an
oyster.
"More oysters," said the man.
Again the oysters were brought, and
again there was a critlcul examination
of every bivalve before it wus eaten, j
Many times the man was seen to tuck |
something into his pocket.
"More oysters," the man ordered. Ho
seemed excited. A third hclpl;??? was
brought him, and again he dug into the
inmost recesses of the shells and maae
more pocket deposits. )
"Give me more oysters," the man
?aid to the waiter.
By this time- bhe waiter was getting !
suspicious. Ho answered:
"No more In the house."
The man then removed twenty-eight
pearls from his pocket. Some were
small: n few were the Btze of a pea.
"I'll give you 8500 for 'em," Edward
Carson, a New Rochelle Jeweler, stfiid.
"Not for Bale," answered the man.
who said he was M. C. Berlcfcch. of
New Haven, Conn. "I wonder how

WILL MROKE.\ AFTER 53 VEAI19.
Trust Declared Invalid and Heirs Will '
Share in $1,000,000 Estate.
Boston, December 10.?After an ex?
istence of Afty-five years, a trust cre?
ated by the will of John Rsyner. who
died In 1S56, has been declared Invalid
by the Massachusetts Supreme Court.
As a result. Roxa S. Sauthard, of 1
Croton, a great-granddaughter; Hor?
ton Edmunds, of Boston, a great
grandson, and Francis C. Welch, as
trustee of Thomas F. Edmands, a
grandson, have succeeded to the title
of the original devisees. The trust
property Is valued at about $1,000,000.
and consists of three parcels of real
estate und buildings In Boston. The
former beneficiaries are to hold the
property, discharged of all trust, as
tenants in common, subject to two
mortgages on two of the parcels.
The decision woa handed down In
the suit brought by the Rayner trus?
tees against Roxa Southard and others,
asking for Instructions. The great
granddaughter, through her attorney,
'had demanded a distribution of the
property.
The court held that the trust was
Invalid because it prohibited the conv
veyance of an estate in fee simple of
the three parcels until mortgages upon
them at Rayner's death or that his
trustees might subsequently put upon
them had been paid off and dlsecharged
from half the net Income of the trust
estate, which he provided should be
used In that way.

In tue visitors' book, and thon John J.
read this motto n.t the top of the page:
"And where we love Is home?
Home, that our feet may leave, but
not our heartu;
The chain may lengthen, but It never
parts."
He turned away without any sign
that it had made an impression on him.
For tho most part of the trip the men
stood handcuffed together on the after
duck. The sight of the penitentiary,
fulled to move them, and when they
passed the giant powder works where;
Jumes 13. bought dynamite for bombs i
which he placed ut the homes of Har?
rison Gray Otis, proprietor of tho Litis
Angeles Times, and Felix Zohnndlacr,
secretary of the merchants' and Man- !
ufacturers' Association of Los Angeles,
the brothers' backs happened to be
turned that way.
.lobu .).'* Philosophy.
Men who have talked with John J.
McNamara say ne has developed a view
of life which not only fortified him In
the oidcul which he mulct v. out to-day,
but convinced him that the dynamit?
ing which he and his brother did was
Inevitable.
From his youth a reader of sociolog- 1
leal works, admitted to the bar us an
attorney, tho dynamiting theory as a,
psychological agent for the etfoct it i
might finally have, was ttdopted by the ,
older brother. It Is said. Not until the
Times explosion, with its loss of twon- !
ty-ono lives, all wage earners, did hoi
realize tho frightful possibilities of his |
academic position.
The trip of the men from Los Ange?
les to Carqulnez Straits was little dif?
ferent to them from their days in ja 11, i
where they havo lived since April 21.1
Anxious to begin their sentence, their1
trip to the penitentiary was accepted i
with sombro relief.
Each slept from midnight until;
awakened shortly befort 7 o'clock. A
cup of coffee and some hot rolls scarce
ly had been eaten when they were put
on the boat for the quiet Sunday morn?
ing ride to felons' cells.

tie 13. McManlgal will bo taken to In- |
dianapolls within a few days to tell ,
the Federal grand Jury there what he
knows of the alleged dynamiting con?
spiracy, the first chapter of which was
closed to-rtay with the placing of
James B. and John J. McNamnra In
the San Quentin State Penitentiary.
Just when McMaiiigal will leave
hero has not been determined, but ho
will be in Indianapolis by December
22. the Federal grand Jury being sched?
uled to begin Its probe rhere'on De?
cember 14.
Oscar Lawler, the government's spe?
cial prosecutor, may go to Indianapolis
to assist in the case. The investigation |
may be concluded here this week. The i
investigation here is aimed at less !
than five persons, while the Indian?
apolis. Inquiry is expected to bring into
the limelight at least a dozen. Indian- '
apolls therefore will be the centre of
the government's investigation.
These facts wore learned to-day af- |
ter a canvass of those who havu had
much to do wlbh the McNamara caso ,
here, and who will continue to work I
on IL Partial confirmation came from |
McManlgal himself at the county Jail |
to-day. when he said:
"I'll tell any grand Jury anywhere I
everything that I know. I have noth- I
Ing to conceal, and I shall consider It j
my duty to give the authorities all
Information In my possession."
McManlgal will be accompanied
wihen he leaves here by Malcolm Mc?
Laren, the detective, who arrested him
In Detroit last April and has been with
him since, spending .lays at a tlmf
with him. It is to McLaren that Mc?
Manlgal has given his real confession.
McLaren's report of what McManlgal '
was telling him in the Jail dally since [
h'.s arrival here on April 26 has been i
turned over hy the State authorities
to the government.
Familiar With Details.
Mr. Lawler knows what McManlgal
has divulged, and is thoroughly fa?
miliar with the details of tue con?
spiracy us detailed D> McManlgal. For
tins reason, it Is believed, Lawier wllT
go to Indianapolis to interrogate Mc?
Manlgal before the grand Jury there,
though the point, It Js said, nas not
yet been determined by the Depart?
ment of Justice at Washington:
McManlgal, after his* Jjipa around
the country giving testimony, prob?
ably will be released. He will oo
clobely guarded, however, a.l all times,
and his trip across the country will
be In secret
Twenty-five witnesses are expected
to appear before the grand Jury here
this week. Interest will centre In the '
appearance of some San Francisco i
labor leaders who have been sub- |

O'Connoll.
Plus X. was much gratified at the
enthusiastic send-off which was given
to the new American cardinals, thus
indorsing his choico by u kind of ple?
biscite, and he will bo delighted even 1
more when the arrival of tho new .
princes of tho church in tho United;
States Is the'signal for a fresh mani?
festation of approval. Ho has been1
heard to exclaim: I
"Tho Americans are g lod-hearted, I
generous and enthusiastic, but theli
cardinals descrvo their affection, being >
above all praise."
It is, In fact, asserted that there j
will soon "be other proofs of the Pope's
predilection fur America in llio shape ,
of an extension of the Catholic hier- ,
archy there by the cryutlon of new 1
dlocoses, and possibly new provinces,
so that the United States, oven fern ,

HAY BILLS WILL
BE PUT THROUGH
-<
Important Army Legislation
Probably Will Be Passed by
Congress.
Wnshlngton, D. C-, December 10??
Tho most Important army legislation
thut has passed Congress In yours will
be passed at this session or Congross,
according to the understanding that
now exists at tho Capitol.
ThiB legislation Is expected to In
elude:
Tho consolidation of the quarlor
mastor's, oubststeuco and puy depart?
ments, which uro now separated, into
a single department.
Tho lengthening of the term of en?
listment to live years.
Provision for tho enlistment of a
service corps In the'"army.
Tho lopping of expenditures for con?
struction at iirmy posts which wore
once importune but have now become
useless for milllury purposes, und uro
Kept up fur reusons of politics or local
convenience.
The House Commlttto on Military
Affairs will begin the preparation of
tho army appropriations bill the com?
ing week. Chairman James Hay, of
Vlrginlu, Intends to hurry tho prepa?
ration of the bill along, und it will bo
one of the lirst of the big supply meuB
ures to puss the House. The policy of
the committee in prepurlng the bill
will bo to reduce army expenditures,
but at tho same time to make no re?
ductions that will impair chiclency of
the service.
It Is the plan to put all this legisla?
tion on the army appropriation meas?
ure and force U through the House.
Moreover, the expectation Is that the
Senate will consent to It.
Under tho' Republican regime in the
House the proposed army legislation
vould be stricken out of tho bill on u
yclnt of order. It would go out under
the old rule thut new legislation can?
not be put on one of the regular ap?
propriation bills.
But under the Democratic, regime
<n the House a different rule applies.
This Is something that has been wide?
ly overlooked. The rule udoptcd by
ihe Democratic House Is the old rulo
of llulmau, one time In Congress,
famed as the original "watch dog" of 1
iho Treasury. Tho rule Is that new |
legislation on an appropriation bill j
is germane if It operates to reduco
expenditures.
As t? each plnco of legislation which
baa been enumerated as proposed by j
Mr. Hay, It can bo shown that it
would cut expenditures. Hence the .
chair will hold it is in order.
It Is contended that the legislation
In what are known as tho Hay rucus- '
ures alono will cut down army ex?
penditures largely. The consolida?
tion of the quartermaster's depart?
ment, tho pay and subsistence depart?
ments will mean economy. It will be
lese expensive to enlist men for live j
years than for threo. And economies
are cluimed for the plan of a servlco
corps, whereby the men who do cor- ;
tain civilian work about the army
will be enlisted for that purpose This
would operate to relievo the soldiers 1
of much drudgery of which they now I
ocmpialn.
The tendency of the army appropria?
tion bill this year will be strongly In
the direction of the brigade post and !
away from tho smaller posts. This |
will probably etlr up a fine fight in
House and Senate.

Baltimore, Md.. December 10.?In '
the belief that Pembroke W. Pitt, the
grain broker, who fled from Balti?
more, after clearing up over J200.000

timore police have sent out a warn- |

took part |n amateur theatricals, and
made quite a suoccsg as a female Im?

That Pitt Is wearing feminine at- ?
