plosion occurred in the mine and as
a result of this and other conditions
that needed attention it was decided
to make a thorough investigation of
the underground workings and en
tries. This was in charge of Super
intendent Logan and twenty-one men
volunteered for the dangerous work.
After they entered the mine a second
and third explosion occurred. These
explosions had the effect of tearing
down great quantities of coal, slate
and rock In the interior, completely
prt ventlng the men from reaching the
outside. State Mine Inspector Iow

scene and from the miners who had
not been allowed to go to work until
the investigating party returned res
cuing shifts were quickly formed.
Tho rescuers worked heroically in
an effort to reach their imprisoned
comrades. All the while the rescue
party received encouragement by the
signal tappings coming from the en
tombed men. At 5 o'clock in the
morning the body of Superintendent

BURIED TWENTY-NINE DAYS
Aged Man Recovered From flu ins of
Messina.
Rome, Jan. 27.—A man eighty years
old was discovered alive In the ruins
at Messina after twenty-nine days. His
cries were heard by a soldier, who,
with a number of comrades, worked
for hours to extricate him.
When he was rescucd and saw the
ruined city he wept, unmindful of his
almost miraculous escape.
He had to be forced to take nourish
ment. He had lived on rotten vege
tables and herbs found in the cel
lar where he was entombed. He suf
fered greatly from thirst.

DEMONSTRATION FOR
GREW OF REPUBLIC
Captain Sealby and His Men
Arrive at New York.
New Tork. Jan. 27.—Captain Sealby
and his officers and most of the crew
of the wrecked steamer Republic were
given a remarkable demonstration
when they landed at the pier of the
White Star line from the revenue cut
ter Manhattan, which transferred
them from the revenue cutter Seneca.
A great throng of officers and seamen
of the steamships of the White Star
line in dock, together with three or
four hundred spectators, were on the
pier when Captain Sealby and his
shipwrecked crew stepped down the
gangplank. Officers and seamen alike
made a rush for Captain Sealby and,
lifting him to their shoulders, carried
him the whole length of the pier to
the street, .vhile the crowd yelled It
self hoarse and stewards on the
steamships blew trumpets. Behind
the captain the crowd carried aloft
the brave Binns, the wireless tele
graph operator. Captain Sealby was
carried from the street to the offices
of the steamship company on the sec
ond floor of the pier, where only on
his earnest protest would the crowd
cease its demonstration.
Few marine stories in recent years
of marvellous escapes from the sea
equal in dramatic intensity the narra
tive that Captain Sealby told of the
escape of Second Officer Williams and
himself from the Republic.
Captain Sealby praised in unmeas
ured terms the courage and pluck of
the Republic's passengers, officers and
crew and Operator Binns.

MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1909
ASKS PPOBE OF

Congressman Rainey Makes
Sensational Speech.
BITTER IN DENUNCIATION

Washington, Jan. 27.—Charging that
William Nelson Cromwell, Roger L.
Farnham, Charles P. Taft and others
are parties to the "most infamous
railroad proposition ever submitted to
any government" and that they "are
being permitted not only to rob the
republic of Panama, but indirectly

Representative Rainey of Illinois di

CONGRESSMAN RAINEY.
upon affairs 1b the canal zone in a
startling speech In support of Ma
resolution providing for an investiga
tion by congress of the Panama canal
purchase. "In their efforts In this
direction," he continued, "they have
had so far the complete co-operation
and active assistance of the present
administration and of the next presi
dent of the United States."
Condemns Pending Libel Suite.
Referring to the government's libel
suit against the New York World and
the grand jury investigations now in
progress i i this city and in New York
Mr. Rainey said:
"If we are to carry this project
through to a successful conclusion we
muif't avoid graft. It is not the part
of wise statesmanship to dispose of
resolutions asking tor an investiga
tion of any phase of the canal ques
tion with the sweeping and absolutely
unsupported official declaration that
re ia nothing to investigate. It is
not the part of sound statesmanship
and true patriotism to attempt to re
vive the obsolete common law rem
edies of 200 years ago and to employ
the tremendous agencies of the gov
ernment in attempting to crush news
papers which have had the courage to
call attention to a questionable trans
action in connection with the canal."
He submitted for the record papers
and document: in support of many of
the allegations contained in the
speech.
Mr. Rainey was particularly bittei
in his denunciation of Mr. Cromwell

Panama Canal company and counsel
and a of tho Panning nlli.ojuL.

Bitterly Attacks' ObaMife

said, represented "as no other Span

American politics."
"Without (Tbaldia," h© Stated,

Against President-Eleet Taft, now en
route to the canr.l zone, Mr. Rainey
directed the accusation that on the
occasion of his last trip to Panama in
May "he did nothing on the isthmus
except to epenly push the candidacy
of Obaldla for the presidency."
Reference to President Roosevelt's
recent attack on Senator Tillman was
made by Mr. Rainey In asserting that
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts waa
responsible for the expenditure on
Jan. I last of over $1,000,000 for the
purchase of the steamships Shawmut
and Tremont for the Panama Railroad
company, which the canal commission
did not want and did not need, but
which were bought because "the con
stituents of the senior senator from
Massachusetts wanted to sell them."
RUDOWITZ WILL NOT
BE EXTRADITED
Secretary Root Announces De
cision in Refugee's Case.
Washington, Jan. 27.—Christian R«
dowitz, whose extradition on charges
of murder, arson and other crimeB
was demanded by the Russian gov
ernment and involving counter con
tentions that the offenses were in
furtherance of a political movement,
will not be extradited. This decision
was announced by Secretary of State
Root.
In effect the extradition of Rudo
witz was refused as the offense
charged comes under the general pro
hibition against extradition in the
treaty with Russia, which declares
that if it be made to appear that ex
tradition is sought with the view to
try or punish for an offense of a polit
ical character surrender shall not
take place. The testimony In the
case by United States Commissioner
Foote at Chicago, it was held, up
holds the view taken by the depart
ment, though the commissioner up
held the Russian government's de
mand. Secretary Root declined to
comment on the decision at this time
pending formal notification to the
Russian authorities of the depart
ment's decision.
The decision followed a thorough
Investigation of the case by the gov
i ernment, a hearing at Chicago before
United States Commissioner Foote
and review of his decision by the
state department. Vigorous efforts
were made to prevent extradition on
the ground that the offenses charged
were political and therefore not ex
traditable.
The case aroused widespread Inter
est, particularly in Chicago among
the anti-Russian element, where a
fund was raised in defense of the
man.
