KNOX ( By Leased Wire to The Times. ) Philadelphia, Pn.. Nov. 2-1 Mystery surrounds the robbery of Valley Forge farms, the magnificent country home of Secretary of the State Philander C. Knox last Thursday night for only documents were carried away and it is surmised by the police that who ever committed the crime did so for. the purpose of scouring Important state or legal papers although it seems strange that Secretary, Knox' should have kept such documents at his home which was looked after only by the carer-taker, Samuel Toner, and wife. It in hinted that papers initio Nicaraguan affair were desired. The value of the papers stolen is known, however, only by Mr. Knox who la in Washington. So far as the de tectives can learn, the only thing taken by the thieves was an alligator travel ling bag, used to carry the missing documents. The robbery was com mitted hurriedly. The intruders left a broken drill In the safe In the secre tary's study. Several . candles had been taken from the oandlebrum In the breakfast room and shaved for lubri cant for the steel drill. The thieves made their entrance through a back door which was forced by some power ful pressure, exerted very slowly. DR. K1LGO TO PREACH.

Dr. Kilgo is one of the finest speak ers in Southern Methodism and when he gets up to preach or to speak, he always has a message to deliver. He will be heard with the greatest pleas ure by the members of the confer ence and the people of the city. SELLING SHOES. The best way to sell shoes, like everything else, is to adver tise them. The best way to advertise them is to select a medium that the people read. In the early fall the new firm of Peebles & Edwards bought an enormous stock of children's shoes. They had to be sold and they decided that the quickest way to do it was to advertise them in The Evening' Times. The result has been that they have had an enormous sale, both from the peo ple of Raleigh and the surrounding country. They sold out and then placed another order and now they are buying more. The Evening Times is the great medium that is read by the people who buy shoes, by the people who buy everything. The merch ants who use The Eening Times have stores full of people and money drawers full of coin. Here is the testimony of a progres sive firm, what it has done for them it has done for hundreds of others, and it can do the same for you: -v. .i ; PEEBLES & EDWARDS, Shoes and Custom Tailors. 12 E. Martin St. Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 22, 1S09. Mr. George C. Hall, Advertising Manager of The Dear Sir: We find the little Button Shoe ad. we have in your paper to be a trade-winner. During fair week we had a great many out-of-town customers, all new ones, too, come in with the adv. cut olit of the paper, to make no mistake In getting the same little shoe. : We took this adv. feeling at the time we were over-Btocked in children's shoes, but we have had to re-order and now we are sizing up on this shoe again. We find to get business we have to go after It, and put before the people In their homes what we have to offer them. An advertisement in your paper works while we are busy at something else. It pays to advertise when in the right medium. ' - , " Yours very respectfully, - PEEBLES & EDWARDS.

(Special to The Times) Wilson, Nov. 24 The condition of the five men, three white and two colored, who were hurt in the collapse of the Contentnea guano factory yes terday, are getting along as well as could be expected, but it will be a long time before some of them will be able to return to work. John Caldwell Dead. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 23 John Caldwell, sixty-five years old treas- urer of the Westinghouse Air-Brake Company and prominent in Pittsburg financial circles, dropped dead in his office shortly before noon today. Evening Times, Raleigh, N. C. I BODIES ARE FOUND TODAY With Finding of 168 Bodies All Hope of Finding Others Alive is Given Up WERE SUFFOCATED Itoilics Found in Tangled Mass at hoot of Escape Shaft Show Little Signs of Being Burned and lie lleved That All Were Suffocated Some of Them May Have Lived For Some Time Had Made Fans Out of the Top of Boxes nnl These Were Still Clasped in Their Hands. Record Shows That 2fl Bodies Have Been Found. ( fly Leased Wire to The Times) Cherry. III., Nov. 21 The bodies of lt)S miners were found at an early I hour today, huddled in a tangled mass nlvihn foot of file escape shall of the third vein of the lire-wrecked Si. Paul ' mine. Few of the bodies showed in dication of being burned and it is be lieved that all were suffocated. Tlie time of their death is n mailer of conjecture. The finding of the dead bodies clears up the mystery as to whether any of the men were still alive, walled in a pocket by a barrier erect ed by themselves. It was evident that the men rushed for the escape shaft, only to be met by the terrible sweep of flames and driven back. Some of them evidently fen aown nna $c(l almost instantly. Others who had started- iip the wood en stairway fell back fo t.heir death. Some who may have lived for some time had made fans out of the tops of boxes lying about and the boards were still clasped in their hands when they were found. The bodies were hurried immedi ately to the surface in loads of 25. The coroner and Dr. E. 10. Crawford, president of the state board of health, immediately ordered the burial of the bodies, fearing the spreading of dis ease on account of the extreme de composed condition. The east end of the third vein has yet to be explored. It is believed taat there the rest of the mine victims will be found dead, i No hope of finding a living man exists today. I Thomas McAllister, the mine ex pert and inspector appointed by Gov ernor Deneen at the request of state executive board of the United Mino Workers of America, arrived at the scene of the disaster today. He as sumed immediate and personal charge. The work of recovering the bodies w,n be hurried along today. The east en(j Df the third vein is expected t0 i,e explored before noon Every hour the danger of explos ion of the terrible gases accumulated in the mine becomes more imminent. At an early hour the firemen start ed anew the fight on the fire in the second vein which is gradually hut surely making its way towards the point where the gases have gath ered. The official record of the coronor shows that 269 bodies have been found. The remaining number down in the mine may be found at any hour. It is now declared by Thomas Hud son, mine expert, anrt State Attorney Eckert, that the men in every in stance were suffocated by the fatal black damp. The bodies were bloat ed horribly and blackened, appearing on first examination to have been burned to death. The men bad constructed a large crude wooden fan of four paddles and they evidently had taken turns in turning the handle to drive back the black damp that, was killing them. ; The hands of some of the victims were found, burned and their torn clothing and distorted features showed the awful convulsions at tendant pn their death.

KSGIVING DAY WILL COMPE NICARAGUA TO APOLOGIZE Grimmest Naval Display Since the War With Spain to be Made OUTLINE)? PLUJ United States Will Demand $100,000 Indemnity and Full Apologies for the l.'vecution of Groce and Can non This is Believed to be the Plan Outlined by Secretary Knox and Approved by President Taft Action Will bo Prompt and Stern. Believed That All the Essenital Or ders for the Display Have Been Is sued. Washington, Nov. 24 The grim mest naval display that the United States has made since the war with. Spain will soon be knocking at the doors of Zelaya, the Nicaraguan despot, Willi a demand for $100,003 indemnity and full apologies for the execution of Groce and Cannon, the young Americans who were shot be cause they incurred Zelaya's displeas ure. This is believed in well informed quarters here today to have been the program outlined bv Seeretarv of State Knox to have been approved by resident Taft. Action will be prompt and stern. It. is believed that all the essential orders have been issued to the navy department today and transmitted to the cruisers and gunboats now in Nic araguan waters or speeding there, as wen as to the various navy yards and marine officers with regard to a sup plemental lon e to back up the ships already sent. Zelaya's plight is viewed by mili tary authorities here today as des perate. Estrada's forces for more than a week have had the greater part of the administration forces penned up and now in addition to the masterlul programme mapped out by the I'nited States, comes the news that the Pacific side of the Nicara gua has been invaded by a well equipped aiauy of extra men from Honduras and Salvador, who have al ready taken two towns and to whom the inhabitants are reported flocking by hundreds, anxious to avail them selves of the chance to war against the tyranny of Zelaya. The internal situation of the re public alone assure the speedy down fall of Zelaya and his adherents, it is believed, while the action in progress by the' United States is not thought to leave him a fighting chance. The slate officials here are report ed today to have taken the unprece dented action of consulting Senator Salvador Castrillo, representing the provisional government of General Estrada, although the existence of that government has not yet been re cognized by the United States nor has Castrillo been accorded any official status. Senor Castrillo is familiar with, every inch of Nicaraguan territory, knows Zelayas' resources and disposi tions, and in the long conference he has had with W. T. S. Doyle, acting chief of the Latin-American bureau, he is reported to have supplied In formation upon which a campaign could most advantageously be waged. Secretary Meyer of the navy has arranged to have reDorts sent j through his department to the state department from the commanders of American warships in the vicinity ot Nicaragua. Renorts ara evnootoH tn. I day from Commander John H. Ship ley, or the Des Moines, now at Port Limon and from Commanders Frank K. Hill, of the Marietta, and Alexan der S. Halstead, of the Vicksburg.

Having dared to execute two American citizens in the face of all the rules of war, it is pointed out there is little likelihood that fear would stay him from killing others, or his countrymen who nave protest ed against his tyranny.
