SAYS CHIEF EXECUTIVE for Rent DOCTORS URGE STATES TO ADOPTJNIF ORM LAWS Inconvenience of Transferring Physicians Would Be Done Away With MANY BELIEVE THAT BURIED MENARE DEAD Rescuers Working Day and Night to Recover. Entombed Miners A MYSTERY OR SEA. The Puixllnj Btaswax of ths Beaches i of Of all tli aecrau boll by tb flotsam and Jotsaui ot many, years none Is stranger than that of the Jjeoiwax of lbs Oregon benches. ouc before the white man cam a to the Jrreat northwest by ship or prairie schooner vessels from the oriont had skirted tho coast Bits of wreckage hart told the story of Chinese Junks rone to pieces on the shore, but the imost curious evidence of this eastern-traffic has been found on the Oregon coast south of the Columbia river. Mr.

Clarke gives an account of this treasure trove In his "Pioneer Days." i When Lewis and. Clark made their famous expedition thoy learned Hint the native Indians of Oregon had for many years found lumps of beeawax on the sandy shores. Beeawax Is practically Indestructible In water, but tlieoe pieces had pouuded In the surf until they were black and battered almost beyond recognition. In 1814 one Henry, engaged In the fur trade, wrote an account of finding masses of this wax. The pieces were scattered over a wide stretch of coast and were now covered, now uncovered, by the blowtng sand.

Some of the lumps were softened Into all shapes and sizes by the beat of the sun and By Associated Press. Johnstown, April 29. The seven uicn who were imprisoned by rush of water in mine No. 38, of the Ber-wind-White Coal Company, at Foust-well, Somerset county, Friday, are still entombed, although si-ores of rescuers have been working night and day iu an effort to pump the water out and effect their freedom. The work of pumping proceeds slowly and until the rescuers can effect an entrance it will not be known whether the men in the mine are dead or alive.

The mine mouth is besieged constantly by the relatives of the entombed miners. By many it is believed the men are dead, while the mine officials are hopeful all will be taken out alive. Eight pumps are at work inside the mine. Men are pushing cars into the slope so that as fast as the water recedes the lines on which the pumps are working can be extended. The flow of water from the mine is continuous and there is a veritable mountain torrent rushing down the hill below- the mine opening.

On account of the-enormous quantity of water in the, mine and the slow gains made by the pump9 the theory now generally held is that the inflow comes from an abandoned working adjoining No. 38. Court Grants Petition. By Associated Press. Washington, April 2 9.

The Supreme Court of the United States to-day granted the petition of the Webster Coal and Coke Company and the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Company to bring to that court for review the cases of those com panies against the Pennsylvania Kail road Company in which the railroad is charged with granting rebates to other nd rival comanpies and with otherwise discriminating against the complaining corporations. The cases were last Heard by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, where the decision was favorable to the railroad. The coal companies ask damages amounting to about two million dollars. Brown and Boosevelt Confer. By Associated Press.

Washington, April 29. President Eoosevelt had an extended conference to-day with W. C. Brown, senior vice president of the New York Central railroad. Mr.

RE "State Demands a More Responsive Government," Says Hughes By Aeiifrl Press. New York, April 29. Addressing the People's Institute at Cooper Union last uiglit, Governor Charles E.

JUSTICE MOODY'S DECISION FAVORED RAILROAD By Associated Press. Washington, April 29.

In an opinion by Justice Moody the Supreme Court of the United States to-day decided the case of Eobert M. Green, a citizen of Pennsylvania, vs. the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Eailway Company adversely to Green. This was an action to recover $100,000 damages on account of injuries sustained by Green in a railway accident at Brush, Colorado, in September, 1905. The suit was instituted in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania but that court refused to entertain it on the ground that the Burlington road is not legally doing business in that district because it was registered as reouireil by Pennsylvania law in the State for business purposes as the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company and not by its latter name of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Bailway Company.

That decision was affirmed by to-day 's opinion, Justice Moody saying: "The question here is whether service upon the agents was sufficient and one element of its sufficiency is whether the facts show that the defendant corporation wss doing business withia the district. It is obvious that the defendant was doing there a considerable business of a Certain kind, although there was no carriage of freight or passengers. "The business shown in this case was in substance nothing more than that of solicitation. Without undertaking to formulate any general rale defining what transactions will constitute 'doing business' in the sense that liability to service is incurred, we think that this is not enough to bring the defendant within the district so that process can be served upon it." bleached nearly white.

In looking up the matter it was learned that as far back as records ran these tapers had been found with the wax on ts)j shore. Of course the explanation may be that some oriental ship bearing church supplies for a mission farther south went to pieces on the Oregon coast many, many years ago, but what would a ship bound for Mexico or South America be doing so far north, and what use could any mission hnve for such an enormous quantity of wax? LITERARY IMPOSTORS. Many Clever Writers Whs Have De oclved the WorH. Clever literary Impostors who have deceived the world are numerous. Game 111 Carrierl, a Neapolitan gentleman and scholar, while confined to his room for a long period of years by illness amused himself by writing an account of an imaginary voyage round the world.

"When the volume was pub lished, It was taken as a fact even by learned people. The detailed account of a trip to China which is credited to Du Haldc is another literary hoax. The author had never seen China and had been sufficiently clever to compile the work solely from the memoirs of Chinese missionaries. It la remarkable, though no less a fact that Travels" was thought to be a true narrative when It first appeared, and the famous story of Damberger's travels was likewise a hoax. Varlllas, tho Frendh historian, enjoy ed a wide reputation as a chronicler of events, but later It was discovered thnt his works were purely fakes.

The vol uiaee of this writer" resemble those of Gregorlo Eetl, who, in order to keep himself from starving, appended the most unheard of Incidents to English history as It was kuovn.
