Chdrtyville, Ills. Nov. 32 An
drew. WHhite, of Granville, a driver
for the OranTllle, Ills., mine, who
with three companions, was working
with a gang on the east drift, second
vein of the St. Paul mine, caused
great excitement early today when he
reported having heard-calls for aid
from men imprisoned in the mine
there." $ "" -.v.
. "They are in there, boys," shouted
WHhite, as he ran bacjt for men. "I
heard two different voices calling,
but could not make out what was
aid." '

effort to reach the pocket . within a
few houret i . . i
Wilhite said When brought to the
surface that the' voices sounded as
though they were - counting. He
thought .they counted to eleven in
slow, monotonous tone. The men
created tremendous excitement.
That over a hundred ate walled
into pockets along the west gallery
of the wrecked mine is today declar
ed by experts to be probable. Fifty
doctors are on constant duty waiting
calls to the pit mouth. It is realized
that every minute lost may cost a
man his life and feverish energies
are displayed by the volunteers.
It is a difficult situation to meet
Down in the level firemen are con-
stantly working to quench fires that
break out with disconcerting fre
quency. . Gangs of searchers, with
full mining equipment, follow the
hose, clambering over the dead bod
ies, digging through masses of fallen
debris, choking in the fetid air of the
drift and often falling unconscious,
to be carried out by their comrades.
Private Ernest Schultze was Bhot
at late Sunday night. He Was not
injured. The details of the shooting
were suppressed, hut current military
gossip attributed the difficulty to
lealouav between Company C of
Oalesburg and Company K of Ke
wanee. Mawte Schultze is : in the
hospital and an Investigation has
been ordered by the military com
manders. Richard Newsam ,chair
. , man of the state board of mine exam
iners, said todayt o
"I am now convinced that there
are living men 'in the mine. Every
possible effort is being made to reach
them. Experienced miners would
certainly wall themselves !ny"when
caught in such circumstances. It was
- expert knowledge that saved the men
now restored "to their homes. .-..-.-
"The situation should be Improved
so much today that the rescuers can
bring out all the survivors. I don't
tMHeVa'jhat the men will die If they
are waited in," even though the delay
should be -unavoidably extended. I

Hickory, Nov. 22 Sunday; is the day
of all days at a Methodist conference
for those old men and many of the
younger ones, when they gather in the
annual Sunday morning love feast and
there tell of the goodness of God to
them, eat bread and drink water la
token of brotherly love and sing and
pray. Yesterday was no exception to
the rule, and at nine thirty the spaototts
first Methodist church was filled com
fortably full of the visitors and towns
people all intent on hearing and ee
Ing and feeling all that was olng
on. . . ., ;; ,
The hour was in charge of the grand
old mountaineer. Rev. W, B. Lyda,
assisted by Rev. J. D. Arnold,- both
superanuates, and both . still full of the
lire of preaching the word. . Several
times the Shout was heard as thes
good men told of the goodness that has

rooms, like a long line stood wbere

; large enough to stand. Dr. J. C. Rowe
, lead the prayer and the conference
! trio sang a selection. . . .
The bishop's sermon Sunday morning
was as high and as grand in concep
tion thought and sublimity as one sel
dom ever heard and at the same time
delivered in his plain way, with never
an attempt at flights or oratory. De
livering a caution, he said that sue
. cess is not salvation; there is danger
and the mistake is actuallv being made
by people who are well fixed, weli con.
: nected of settling down into a state
i of salvation, when they are not at
1 all saved. It is all character and con
; di lions, and that we have a miseon
; cepUon of what salvation and heaven
lis: "Heaven lies about us In infancy,
' and we lie about it all the rest of
life."
Keferring to Heaven as described in
Keveiaiiou the bishop said he would
hate to have to live In the city as
: uesenbt-d there as Heaven through- all
eternity, and he felt that those who
wanted a country place there, With
green hills and brooks and cattle and
ciuckens couid have them. And, said
