D. BRANCH. Two of the Western Governors who are at present 'Visiting New York addressed a large audience at the Eastern District Branch of the Y. M. C.

Marcy avenue and South Ninth street, last night. Governors E. L. Norrls of Montana and John B. Burke of North Dakota were the speakers.

They both commended the Y. M. C. A. for the good work that it is doing, both in the East and the West, and hoped that in the future the relations between the two sections would be even closer then in the past.

Governor Burke said that the reputed remark of the Governor of North Dakota to the Governor of South Dakota was a thing of the past, as the constitution of his State had prescribed prohibition for about twenty-years. While he admitted that this law had been disregarded In certain parts of the State in the past, he was positive that such a condition had not prevailed glna his election, in 1906. The question of the prevention of crime was also taken up by Governor Burke: He said that a preat deal of the money that Is being spent for prisons might better be expended in preventing crime, rather than in suppressing It. ocratlc club In the district.

A gang of a dozen workmen continues at work digging for the body of James Hartnott. the negro who was buried alive by a cave-in while digging a well at the Bristol-Meyer's Chemical Company, at 87 Clifton place, on last Friday. The men, who are supervised by Christopher Chrlstensen, the chief engineer of the plant, have been working day and night, and today the diggers reached to a depth of forty feet. The men in the pit find it difficult to dig rapidly for fear that some of the old shoring will give way and cause the earth behind the new cribbing to close in on them. The strain on the new cribbing has been so Intense that it required a double reinforcement to stand the pressure.

All yesterday and part of last night negroes, many of whom came from Manhattan, stood outside the place in Urge numbers, and Patrolman. Qulnn ot the Classon avenue station had a hard time to keep the crowd from forcing its way to the scene of the accident. One man said he was cousin of Hartnett's and asked permission to go inside. His request-was granted, and when he saw the workmen digging and hoisting he became excited and stripped off his coat and vest and started down the hole, saying that he could do twice the work of ahy man down there. He was quickly grabbed by the collar and put out.

It Is expected that tbe body will not be reached before tomorrow night. SHOOTING ANGERS ALSATIANS. Metz, Alsace-Lorraine.
