McAlester, Okla., Nov. 25 A case that is believed to be absolutely with out a parallel in medical or legal an nals in this country has arisen here, involving rival physicians in a little town in this county. The child of one of the physicians was dangerously ill of diptheYia when the father telephoned to a physician in this city to rush a supply of anti toxin to him. The McAlester physi cian engaged a boy nt a livery barn to drive the twenty miles with it. He reached the town about 1 o'clock in the morning and inquired at the first house he came to. The man who answered said he was going to the physician's home to sit up the re mainder of the night and would take the medicine. The boy gave the man the anti-toxin and returned home. The doctor's child died in a few hours. Later the father advised the Pan who had sent the anti-toxin tnat It never reacnen mm. vuiuuib to McAlester to investigate, he .found the boy, heard his story, and took him home with him to point, out the house where he gave the man the an ti-toxin. The boy led him to the house of a rival physician, who was treating a case of diptheria at the same time the other physician's child was dying of the disease. v The physician who lost his child is preparing to bring a suit for damages against his rival. Learning of this the accused physician obtained war rants for the messenger boy, charg ing him with criminal carelessness and peri' f and perjury.

Wires Report That Twenty Americans Are Imprisoned Not Continued. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Nov. 25 The period of inactivity in tho Nicaraguan epi sode that has fallen on the state de partment was officially explained to day by one of the high officials of that department. Cable communica tion' with the American vice consul at Managua has been Interrupted and not one word has been heard from Mr. Caldera since his fragmentary and unsatisfactory dispatch announc ing; the deaths of Cannon and Groco. As the telegraph lines are under the control of the Zelayan govern ment it is easily seen that assistance is not being given the United States in its efforts to arrive at an under standing as to tho exact facts con nected with the death of the two men. The department now expects, by means of the wireless instruments of the American warships in those wa ters, to be Informed speedily ns to all the facts, so that its program can be carried out if the conditions so war rant. No confirmation has been re ceived of the press dispatches that twenty Americans were imprisoned at Greytown. COLD WEATHER AT PHILADELPHIA (By Leased Wire to The Times.)

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Cherry, Ills., Nov. 25 The doom of ihe St. Paul mine has been fixed. The bodies of nearly 200 men are en tombed within its depths today and a concrete wall has sealed up tho fire-seared mouth of the mine. Hope of ever recovering the bodies of the mine victims has vanished in the face i ,e step taken by the mine offi cials. The sealing of the mine was the last recourse. For three months the seal is to re main untouched. Not until the fierce and dangerous fire that is now raclnc but a few feet below tho surfnen fa smothered, will the wall be removed. Cherry is in a state of unrest. The revolt, of the miners against the sten taken by the mine officials was open. ana ominous. -- Sorrow-stricken women and chil dren who have lived in the hope o recovering the bodies of their dead were inconsolable. The ton niboi men of the Chicago fire department wno nave done such heroic but fruit less work in fighting the fire were recalled today. Mine experts, mine inspectors and! miners fromevery part of the coun ty, who gathered at the scene of the greatest mine disaster of the middle west, prepared to go to their homes, realizing that their work was over. Many men in Cherry still cling to the belief that with the sealing of the mine living men have been doomed to death. Mine experts scout the idea and state that such is an iro-possibility. "Nothing can be done until the fire has died out and the extreme dan ger of entering the shaft is eliminat ed." declared VV. W. Taylor, superin tendent of the mine. Cherry is a city of sadness and grief this Thanksgiving Day. The best figures obtainable regard ing the mine disaster are as follows: Total number of men in the mine at time of fire, G27. Men who escaped when fire broke out, 217. . Dead bodies recovered, identified and buried, 101. Men rescued alive from the mine seven days after the fire, 20. Rescue party burned in cage, 10. Bodies found in third vein, 169. Total deaths, 310. Scenes of Despair. Cherry, 111., Nov. 25 Not since the recovery of the first bodies from the depths of the St. Paul mine here have such scenes been witnessed as the heart-rending picture at the mouth of the mine today after the bodies of the dead had been sealed within. ' Hundrcds of grief-stricken women with worn faces and fatherless chil dren clinging in fear to their dresses gathered in groups about the shaft df the mine, sobbing and moaning. Their sacred dead are lost forever. The realization of the horrible end of the great disaster has aroused frantic grief. Women fell on their knees, drag ging their children with them, sob bing out their cries of despair. The dissatisfaction of the miners at the step taken by the mine offic ials was openly voiced. "They are thinking only of saying property and don't care about the dead." exclaimed one gray-haired Scotch miner. "We want our dead. The women want the bodies. The company will never get any service from these miners." It was declared today that the mine would be sealed for at least three months, until the present dangerous fire is smothered out. Despite this It was declared on' good authority that the mine shaft was to be perma nently sealed and another ' Bhaft (Continued on Paft Two.)
