The actual commencement of the installation of the tine new safe de posit vault in the. Miners' Savings bank was commenced this morning, when the marble out of which the lobby of the vault it to be built reach ed here and was transported at once to the bank.

It i. expected that the vault will be ready for customers by August 1st, at the latest. The vault will be located in the rear and to the right of the present banking room and will be easily accessible from the lobby, the bookkeepers' office and the directors' room.

That is, the ante room of the vault will be easily accessible. The vault itself will be a powerful piece of mechanism. It is now at the D. H. freight house and as soon as it is needed will be brought to the bank after being transferred to the Lehigh Valley tracks and taken to the Valley Water street station.

An idea of. the strength of the new vault may be gained from the single fact that the door alone weighs 11 tons. The vault will be divided into 414 boxes, which will be of the following sizes: 2x5 inches, 3x5 inches, 4x5 inches, 5x5 inches, 3x10 inches, 5x10 inches and 10x10 inches.

It will be built of solid marble. The entrance will be visible from the lobby of the bank through glass panels. The entrance arch will be 12 feet high and will be flanked by two carved marble columns.

The lobby of the vault will be floored with white Italian marble. The side walls will be of paneled marble, large panels of English veined marble to be set on a base of Vermont green and trimmed about with Hauteville marble. There will be numerous electric lights. In this room will be three small private apartments with desks at which cus mers may look over their papers with privacy. There will be also two larger rooms, which may be used similarly by committees of societies.

The lobby will be 13 feet square and 13 feet high. It will be separated from the vault by a wall a foot thick, inside which the steel vault will be placed. Packing House Plant Burned. Fort Worth. June 12.

ClnlANrAPPEARS Murder Mystery Remains as Unsolvable as Ever. Perdiiiando Mcrcadante, Who Took Head From the Shaft, Threatened Willi nth by "Black Hand." Letter He llcccived Says His Head Will lie in Shaft in 24 Hours. The only new phase in the Cork Lane murder mystery of the headless body was the entra' of the "Black Hand" on the this morning. Ferdinando V' ie, the Italian who went shaft and took from it the head, received a letter this morning Written in Italian, saying that he would be killed within the next 24 hours and that his head would be pitched into the same shaft. The letter was full of abusive writing and was on the order of other threatening missives, with which the Italian set tlements of this vicinity have been flooded for some months.

The "Black Hand" letter has wrought up much comment on the ease. Opinion is divided as to wheth er the wa writj en a a hoax or was sent for the purpose of" throwing the authorities off the clues they are now working on by making it appear that some Mafia committed the crime. Mercadante is somewhat disturbed by the letter. The scene of action in the case is to be partly transferred to Rochester, the home of the murdered man for some months before his tragic death Deputy Sheriff Masl left this afternoon on the Lehigh Valley for Rochester and expects to spend the next few days in that city, looking up the case from that end. Locally, there are no new developments in the case, no ar rests having been made and no new warrants issued.

The work of investigation is being carried on quietly by the, county authorities. The Greenland Birch. The midget of the whole tree family Is the Greenland birch.

MAGIC II South. Mali THE MAGNET More Testimony in the Bow en Loomis Case. THAT $10,000 CHECK. Taft Thinks Charges Have Not Been Substantiated. Washington, June 12.

The mysteri ous jfjo.ooo check transaction has again come to the front in the Bowen I oonns scandal. Minister Bowen was at the war department with Harry Unwin, formerly the traveling auditor for the New York and Bcrmtidcz As phalt company. The latter made some sensational statements to the secre lurv, which wouiu nave had more weight had they been in the nature of direct rather than ofhearsay evidence. Mr. Unwin informed Secretary Taft that some years ago, about the time of the alleged passage of a $10,000 check between the asphalt company and Mr Loomis, lie accounted for a check of this denomination.

He thought it was made payable to Henry Willard Bean who was then one of the managers of the company in Venezuela. Uncertain as to Dates. Mr. Unwin told the secretary that it was "whispered in the New York office" that the check was intended fir Mr. Looinis.

Mr. Unwin was uncer tain as to dates, but said that there were other men in the company who could tell all about the transaction. He gave the names of several of them, including Messrs. Atkinson, Huntington and Cartland, and Secretary Taft promised to send for them and get their evidence. Mr.

Bowen is hopeful that these men will clear up all doubt on the matter of the check business and thus permit the case to come to an immediate close. Mr. Loomis has always denied that he received a $10,000 check from the asphalt company. He admits hp got a check for $5,000 from the corporation, and tliiA fact is verilied by Mr. Bean.

Mr. Loomis says that he deposited an amount equal to the check in a Venezuela bank to the credit of the asphalt company and that the transaction was merely an accommodation to him by which he could got some American money before leaving for home. Records Sent For. Secretary Taft is anxious to have positive information on this matter, for it is the only tiling that stands in the way of winding up the Tie sent an agent to Philadelphia to Mr. John Mack of the asphalt trust to get certain records and books that may throw light ou the subject.

Mr. Mack has promised to produce all the hooks of the treasurer of the company, together with certain vouchers liearing on transactions at the time Mr. Loomis was minister to Venezuela. These papers will be here today. An agent has also been sent to ex Presi dent Barbour of the asphalt company in order to get certain desired information.

If no definite evidence should be produced In the next few days con cerning the $10,000 check business Sec retary Taft will close the inquiry and make his report to the president. Nothing lias happened during the past week to cause Mr. Taft to change his conclu sion that Mr. Bowen has failed to make good his charges against Mr. Loomis.

NEW 'PHONE Ba' President Roosevelt Back From Two Days' Trip. PEACE NEGOTIATIONS The Situation is Described as Satisfactory. Washington, June 12. After a two days sojourn with Mrs. Roosevelt in the picturesque little woodland honit recently purchased by hr near Char lottesville, the president returned to Washington last night.

The (resident was in excelleiit.spiri tly uavmg enjoyea nis outing minions As he grasped Secretary Taft's hand In a hearty clasp he inquired, "Are you still sitting on the lid?" After a discussion of developments since the president's departure on Fri day, the conference lasting about half an hour, Secretary Loch authorized the announcement that nothing concerning negotiations for peace in the far east would be made public. This conclu sion, was reached by the president in view of the situation as shown in the official advices received in his absence. with only a part of which he was familiar before he reached the White House. President's Offer Accepted. Japan's acceptance of the president's offer of peace reached the state de partment in a cablegram from Mr.

Gris.com. Russia's reply followed later. It is not possible at this time to indicate when the formal replies from Itus sia and Japan to the president's iden tical notes will be given to the public. It is possible, it may not be for several days. The situation is satisfactory and assurance is given that the with holding of the notes is not due to any hitch in the negotiations.

Before the responses of the Russian and Japanese governments are publish ed here they will be transmitted form ally by the president the Japanese note to the St. Petersburg government and the Russian note to the govern inent in Tokyo. The transmission of the notes will conclude the preliminary negotiations for pence initiated by the president and practically will conclude this government's work in those ne gotiations. Japan to Name Place. Officially informed that the response to the president's appeal is favorable.

it will remain for the Russian and Japanese governments to effect an ar raugement for a temporary armistice pending a direct discussion of terms for permanent peace. Information re celved here, both in governmental and diplomatic quarters, indicates that Ja pan will suggest where the first meet ing of the representatives of the bel ligerent powers will take place and that Russia will accede to that sugges tion. At the preliminary meeting it is the understanding that Japan will indicate the terms on which the emperor would be willing to conclude a permanent peace. The terms then will be trans mitted directly to the Russian govern ment, the question of their acceptance or rejection then lying with the Rus sian emperor. Later, at a meeting of plenipotentiaries of the two powers, the details of a treaty of peace will be considered.

This formal peace conference, the probabilities now are, will lie held in Washington, both of the belligerents favorably regarding this capital as a place for the drafting and signing of a treaty of peace. Toyko Grateful to President. Tokyo, June 12. Tokyo has calmly received the news of American intervention and prospective peace. The absence of assurance that Russia will accept President Roosevelt's proposal and the knowledge that the consummation of peace involves the adjustment of a series of questions of paramount importance seem to create a disposition to await final results.

There is nevertheless the keenest satisfaction over the preliminary step and a feeling of deep gratefulness for President Roosevelt's action. Russia Appears to Have Yielded. St. Petersburg, June 12. Russia appears to have yielded to the inevitable.

The unbroken series of reverses on land and sen, culminating in the irreparable disaster 6f Tsushima, lias, notwithstanding the desperate efforts of the war party, moved the emperor to broach the subject of peace. The chances of a speedy termination of the conflict are now distinctly promising, but it is premature to speak of them With tibsoiute confidence. New Fish Hatchery Established. Chicago, June 12. The United States fish "commission, with the assistance of the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louis ville Railway company, has established a hatchery at Cedar Lake, Ind.
