ABOVE THE LAWS
BISHOP PLACES POPE
Duty of Roman Catholics to
Obey Laws of Church.
HE’D BREAK THE GEORGIA LAW
Bishop Keiley Says Pope Is Supreme
and Must Be Obeyed—He Also
Speaks of the Political Might of Ro
man Catholics.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 24. —Bishop
B. J. Keiley, of the diocese of Sa
vannah, speaking at the cathedral
Sunday night said no true Roman
Catholic could question the actioii of
the pope in advising his people to dis
obey the French separation law, and
that it was the duty of every member
of the church to obey the laws of the
church before those of the state.
‘lf the state of Georgia should pass
a law interfering with the church du
ties of a Catholic," said he, "I would
be the first to announce that I ex
pected the people in my diocese to
break the law.
“The pope is supreme, and has au
thority from God, and no true believ
er would, hesitate whether to obe>
the law of God or man. It would
not be necessary for me to make any
announcement, however, for if rhe
United States should attempt any
thing like France is doing, the Cath
olics would rise of their own accord,
and move the bigots from power.
The Catholic church needs no secular
arm to protect it.”
Increase In Immigrants.
New York, Dec. 24.—Figures just
compiled at Ellis Island indicate that
at the present rate of increase 1,283,-
145 aliens may be expected to enter!
this country through the immigration
station on Ellis Island next >ear.
"The number of aliens who will land
at New York this year," said Immi
gration Commissioner Wachorn yes
terday, will approximate 1,050,000
persons, as against a total of 559.010
who landed herein 1905. This shows
an increase in the immigration of
about 22.2.3 per cent. Using these
figures as the basis for an estimate
for 1907, we may expect 1,845,000
aliens to arrive at Ellis Island.”

AFTER 15 DAYS
SPENT IN TOMB
Rescued Miner Tells of His Ter

Corpses of companions near
When Rescued Hicks Was So Strong
That He Did Not Need Stimulants
His Rescue Was a Marvelous
Piece of Work.
Bakersfield, Calif., Dec. 24. —Un-
say B. Hicks, released Saturday
night from an entombment of 15 days
in a caved-in tunnel, appeared well
and happy after his gruesome experi
ence. He received the congratula
tions of friends and neighbors, to
whom he related as best he could the
feelings he underwent within the dark
and close quarters of his tomblike
prison near the dead bodies of five
less fortunate companions* while a
large force of men-worked like beav
ers day and night for more than two
weeks to save him from death by dig
ging through many feet of earth and
rock.
Hicks was once a soldier, and he
is said to carry some Indian blood
in his veins. He was so strong
that the stimulants that had been pre
pared for him were not needed.
It was 11:50 Saturday night when
Hicks was released. The last cut on
the drift was made at 11:12 o’clock
and np sooner was the sedgment of
debris removed and the way left open
than Hicks began to scrape away the
rocks and earth and crawl toward the
opening.
With arms in front of his head, he
went into the minature .unnel and be
gan to work his way slowly through
to the other side of a dump car.
near which he has remained during
the excavating. When he had pro
gressed about half way, he stopped
and Superintendent Frank Miller,
who stood at the tube at the mouth
of the shaft, called out and asked
what was the matter.
‘Oh, nothing,” Hicks called back.
“I'm just going to stop. I'm out of
wind. Mv wind is very short, you
know."
Then Hicks moved a few inches
further toward freedom, and his arms
were seized by Dr. Stinchfield and
Miner Gents, who pulled him into
the main tunnel, where he was placed
in a sitting position.
The blindfold that Hicks had been
ordered to put on was removed,'as
the tunnel was only dimly lighted by
candles. With tears in his eyes,
Hicks said to Stinchfield:
“I’m v feeling -fine. I can never
thank you. doctor, for what you have
done."
He then thanked Superintendent
Cone, of the Edison works, who la
ter expressed' his gratification at the
miner’s rescue.
While working on a tunnel that was
being built by the Edison Power com
pany near Bakersfield on Dec. 17, the
vertical walls of a deep cut fell in
on Hicks and five fellow workmen.
It was first thought that all had per
ished.
Three days later a tapping on the
iron rail of the littie tramw«*y run
ning through the diAt gave the first
intimation that a man still alive was
buried beneath the debris. The res
cue work has progressed steadily
since.
While the last steps were being
taken In his rescue, Superintendent
Cone, who led the rescue party, call
ed to Hicks, and told him he was
still on the payroll. He said:
"You have been a most faithful
man, Hicks. You have been on duty
for fifteen days and nights, and 1 never
asked for a day off. You have been
drawing .pay all the time."
Present Greetings to Pope.
Rome, Dec. 24.—The members of
the sacred college went in a body W
the pope Monday to present their
Christmas greetings. The pontiff
received them in his private library
and conversed cordially with all the
prelates. The chief topic was the
situation in France. The pope said
that the church will not flinch from
the attitude it has taken, no more
concessions being possible, but h-?
hoped that the violence and persecu
tion would soon result in better times.

Groans of the Dying Mingled With
The Anguished Cries of the Injured

completely telescoped by the baggage
car.
Here also were most of those who
were injured, only two of the occu
pants of this car escaping injury. The
car was crowded, and as the whistle
had just sounded for Enderlin almost
every one was on his feet when the
crash came, and the dead and wound
ed were piled into almost inextrica
ble masses.
As t\is point is a divisional head
quarters of the road, a rescue party
soon formed, and assisted by citi
zens the work of taking out the dead
and injured was begun at once, and
continued throughout the*night. The
little hospital was soon crowded to
its full limit with those hurt, and the
hotels were converted into emergency
hospitals, where the other Injured
were cared for.
