A SOCIOLOGICAL PROBLEM.
Win’ll tin’ Illinois legislature
made provision for the widows
left by the Cherry mine disaslei
of 1910 il apparently counted :t
prophet among its members, says
the New York Evening Post. Tin
heads of one hundred and four
teen families had been kill'd,
and their wives averaged twenly
six years of age. The naii-ial
director of the lleti Cross, e•■lied
on lo work out the i.ei. -i«.n
-schefne, estimated Llml vdlini
live years half of tli• ■ • • would
marry again. The Cimrry mine
commission and Others li-ought
bis prediclion a wild exaggera
tion, and insisted upon a larg
er number of pensions than he
tlioughl necessary. But on July
1, last, only thirty-six of the or
iginal one hundred and fourteen
beneficiaries were receiving a
state stipend.
Not all had remarried: a few
had removed lo Europe, and a
few more had been granted Car
negie pensions. But of Ihe
$ 100,00(1 originally appropriated
nearly *50,000 remained, and this
sum was set aside for the bene
fit of the children. The upshot
confirmed a view based on sound
sociological principles. hi Un
dos textured working comnnin
ily, wilh the excess of population
always on the side of the males,
family lies broken by industrial
accident are quickly reunited.

sides Mild.ed Rexroat—Oth
er Murders Fabrications.
Chicago, Oct. 7.—The police
have been making a careful in
vasl galion of the alleged mur
der committed by Henry Spen
cer and have traced two other
murders to him besides that of
Mildred Rexroat, whom he killed
yesterday. The other murders
lie , dls of numbering fourteen
i.v all fabrications according to
Hi i police*.
Spencer is now under obser
vation as to his sanity and it is
said by the police that lie is not
accountable for bis acts, it is
expected that lie will never be
brought lo trial lor the murder
of the dancing teacher, or for the
other two murders he is known
to have committed, lie will very
likely lie sent to the asylum for
the .criminal insane.
SUIT AGAIN&T CHISANA
DISCOVEVREft IS BEGUN
Henry Dubois and Hugh Brady,
hotel keepers of Dawson, have
tiled suit in the Territorial court
against William James, the dis
coverer of the Chisana gold dis
trict, Malt ilda Wales and Wil
liam Johnson, for an accounting
and asking an injunction against
the sale of their Chisana hold
ings to Fletcher T. II; inshaw, to
whom they were bonded in I he
sum of #500,000.
Dubois and Brady allege that
[hey, with Johnson, grubstaked
James and Matilda Wales in the
Nugget mine at Dawson, and that
they were counted out ol the fin
al division 1 the rich claims in
Ihe Chisana district, but that
Johnson was granted a quarter
interest in all the properties ac
quired oil account ol the grub
stake.
The suit was precipitated when
it was learned that tlamshaw had
ponded the Chisana holding’s of
Janu s and associates.
DARKNESS ADDED
HORROR TO DESTRUCTION
( Continued from page l;
lias been cleared away .. Hie
upper street's.
During Sunday night when the
storm was at its worst lire broke
nut in some of the buildings,
which were toppled over by their
foundations being undermined.
The glare of I be Haines lit up the
district until a huge comber swept
the burning mass into the sea,
plunging the town into darkness
again.
The '.steamers sought safety in
the lee of Sledge Island and es
caped I lie fury of the storm. The
Victoria, Corwin, Arctic and other
vossejs are safe and are doing
all in their power to relieve the
horrors of the situation.
The people are cheerful under
the circumstances owing to small
loss of life in spile of I heir enor
mous personal losses. The wo
men organized and served the
workers with hot coffee during
the hours when they toiled des
perately to save I he effects of the
buildings which were in the path
of the waves.
Many of the big warehouses
were swept away and had the de
vastation occurred later in the
season after the close of naviga
tion •starvation to hundreds must
have followed during the winter.
Many of those who lost all their
property will go. to the states to
start, again, but are thankful they
escaped with their lives.
