eoMPERs IS HOPEFUL.
Issues Statement Concerning Strike.
 Looks for Agreement.

WilSesharre. Pa, September H.-Presl- dent Gon,pers of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement issued today, takes a hopeful view Of the strike situ- tion The statement is as fellows:
 At this time 1t is impossible to say exactly when the strike will terminate, but after careful inquiry into the sltu- alton at the mines, I am convinced that the struggle will end by agreement. The wage-ealners and the general public are generously contributing to the aid of the miners. It is essential that this aid be extended and continued
 If the manhood of the miners is to be maintained, they must at least have bread for their wives and little ones as well as for themselves. Tha declared attitude of the presidents of the anthracite railroads has not apparently changed. Despite this fact, am fully convinced that the strike will end through agreement, with im- Iroved conditions for the miners and the union maintained.

NOMINATION IS
 STILL IN DOUBT Returns From 46 Counties Give Garber 1928 Majority, THIS MAY BE CUT DOWN Mir. earber Says He Has Word From All But Four Counties and His
 Nomination Is Certain By
 25oo Votes.
THIS MAY BE GUT DOWN

Returns from Mondays primary are yet incomplete, and it Is not certain whether Alex NJ. Garber or Massey Will son has won the nomination for attorney general.
 Complete and incomplete returns re- ceived by The Age-Herald from forty-six counties give Garber a lead over wilson of 1928 votes
 It appears from returns received that Garber has carried twenty counties. as follows: Bibb. Biount. Calhoun, Chiffon. Clay Coosa, Fayette, Hale. Jefferson. Macon, Madison. Morgan, Lauderdale, Jackson, Randolph. Perry, Walker and Lamar. These counties give him major ities reaching s56s.
 The counties that appear to have given majorities for Wilson are Barbour. Bald win Clarke. Colbert, Conecuh. Crenshaw, Cullman, Dale. kImore. Dallas. Escam- Limestone. Lee Lowndes, Marengo, Ma rion. Mobile. Pike. St. Clair, Tallapoosa. Tuscaloosa and Washington. His major ities in these counties reach 5240.
 ThereFis. of course no certainty that the official count will show the above figures correct. The executive commit tees of the several counties will meet at noon today to canvass the returns. The state committee will meet in Montgom- cry September 24 and declare the result
 Both the candidates are claiming a victory. Mir. Garber was interviewed by a representative of The Age-Herald in Talladega last night. He said that he had heard from all but four counties and he claimed the nomination by from 25Oo to 5000 majority.
 MT. Wilson left Birmingham yesterday morning for East Alabama. Before his departure he stated that he still claimed victory by about 5000 majority.

SOUNDS LIKE A PIPE STORY.
Mountain of Ohio Pulling Away Like
 Unto Mont Pelee.

Bainbridge, O., September 17.-People living in the Paint Creek valley are greatly alarmed over the appearance of smoke and sulphur gases from copper, which can be seen from this place. Ever since the first eruption of Mont Pelee smoke has issued from the mountain at intervals, but only within the past few days have the smoke and gases become especially noticeable and many attribute 1t to the recent eruption in Martinique.
 Investigation shows that the slate in the mountain has become hot and some of it has become a dull red from the action of the heat. The smoke issues from the side and not the top of the mountain and scientists will be asked to make thorough investigation.

AGED ENGLISHMAN
 DIES IN POVERTY
BODY HENRY c. PEARCE FOUND IN A TWENTY-FlRST STREET LODGING HoUSE-WATcH WAS STILL KEEPING TIME.

In a chair with his head leaning on common wooden table the partially de- composed form of Henry c. Pearce, an aged white man, was found yesterday morning in room on the third floor or the Stewart building at the corner of Avenue B and Twenty-f1rst street by Mrs. Jamie Mareau and MT. S. Poulis. The lat ter runs a store on the first floor of the building.
 The man had evidently been dead ten days or two weeks, as decomposition had set in about the hands and the room was pregnant with stihing odors. Beside the head on the table was pen, ink and paper The following note was also found:
 "I am sick and have been sick and am out of money. I have no friends in this country. By birth I am an Englishman and 76 years old. If the agent should come to me for my room rent and should be dispossessed the street would be my home, as I have no money and no home"
 The note was probably written only a short time before death. In the fire place were wood and coal laid to light a fire and 1t Is probable death came just as the old man was preparing to start the blaze.
 In another portion of the room was a black memorandum book which contained the following directions:
 This pocketbook, in event of loosing, belongs to H. c. Pearce residing at the extreme end of the Powderly car line, and should anyone find it, send it by post I will feel obliged and compensate them for their trouble"
 Pearce was an enlarger of crayon pie lures and a number of them were found in the room, which he has occupied since early in October. Mrs Mareau and MT. Poulis were talking about him yesterday morning and 1t was remarked that they had not seen him for several days. An investigation followed and the door to the room forced.
 Smileys undertaking establishment by order of the coroner. No inquest has yet been held but it is thought by physicians that heart failure was the cause of death.
 When Pearces watch was taken from his pocket by Coroner Paris it was run ning and this afternoon it was still tick ing off the time. How the watch kept going all that time without being wound up is mystery. 1t is a cheap timepiece bought of a Birmingham firm.

Empire State Express Caught
 and Pounded by Ice
PASSENGERS FINALLY SAVED
The Waters Have Risen to the Roof and There Is Great Danger or Cars Being Destroyed.
 Traffic Suspended.

Hudson N. Y, March 3.-Eigh water in the Hudson and the forming of ice gorges above this city South of All bany, has stopped railroad traffic on the New York Central and Hudson railroad. Great activity prevails at this station where all trains bound for the north are transferred over the Boston and Albany road via, Chatham to Albany and trains destined for New York arrive over the same route. Much apprehension is felt about the situation in the vicinity Of Cas- tleton and Schodack. Four large passen- ger trains are stalled there in the flood, one of the trains being the Empire state Express. The waters have risen so high about them that the cars are submerged to the roofs and heavy ice is pounding them hard, threatening their destruction A work train from Hudson which welN to the assistance of the others is also caught in the flood and cannot move in either direction, the locomotive fires being extinguisned.
 The passengers on the Empire State Express were badly frightened, having to remain in the cars several hours during the night, the ice battering the cars, while the water was up to the seats. They were finally rescued from their perilous position by row boats and placed in relief train which was sent here.
 Tralps Stalled.
 New York. March 3.-Not a western train entered the Grand Central station today or tonight. They were all stalled somewhere along the line or delayed by the floods. Nothing came down the Hud- son river division except local trains. At the station it is said not even a report of the trains due could be had because of the condition of the wires.
 Schedules Disregarded.
 Albany, N. T., March 3.-Trains on all railroads running into this city are being operated regardless of schedules, and street car traffic Is completely at a standstill as a result of the freshet in the Hudson river Perishable freight is be- ing delayed all over the system, and no hope is entertained of moving or saving 1t after midnight At 2 o'clock this afternoon the water began slowly 10 fall.
 Much Damage In catskilIs.
 Kingston, N. Y, March 3.-The floods have caused much damage in the Catskill Mountains. Michael Barrett, while fixing a footbridge across a stream alongside his house, slipped and was carried away.
 Mrs. Mattie Palethrop of Walden fell into Waikiki creek and was drowned
 Floods in Ohio Checked.
 Cincinnati, March 3.-Cold weather and strong winds have checked the flood in the Ohio Valley. The weather bu- reau on the conditions existing last night predicted that the danger line of 50 feet would be reached here this morning and that the stage might exceed 57 feet dur ing the week.
 At ' p. m. tonight the stage was 49.7 and the danger line will not be reached in Cincinnati until late tonight. The rise is not expected to go beyond 52 feet.

Officials Says MaIcOnfs Sy- tem Will Not Affect Them
ACCURACY IS NECESSARY
Postmaster General of England Re- fuses to Grant Marconl Licenses to Establish Signal Stations
 In the United Kingdom.

New York March S-At the annual meeting of the Commercial Cable Com pany held today,g President G. M. Ward said of wireless telegraphy; While we do not intend to belittle the credit due to MT. Marconi, we have ey- cry confidence in the ability of submarine cables to maintain their commercial su- pfemacy in competition with wireless tel egraphy even should 1t ever extend be- yond its present experimental stage as regards transatlantic or other long dis tance transmis issions.
 "Our shareholders must not overlook the fact that 1t has taken the Commercial Cable and its land line system Postal Company some r or IS years to perfect their organization for the distribution and collection of telegrams throughout the United States and the rest of the world. It is fair to say that 1t would take as many years to put the Marconi system In a position as would enable 1t to serve the public.
 Messages are now transmitted across the Atlantic and answers received in two ana three minutes. A huSSSoSS SNPSAANAAo ing a delay of ten or fifteen minutes means the defeat of the object of the sender Ninety-five per cent of the Allan tic messages are expressed in code or cipher language, the words or ciphers having no connected meaning. The words in cipher groups frequently only differ from each other in single letters, yet they have widely different meanings, and an error in transmission of one of their let ters might have disastrous consequences
 Won't Give Marconl License.
 London March B. - Speaking in the House of Lords today of the attitude to- wards wireless telegraphy, the Marquis of Londonderry the postmaster general, said that while he possibly regarded the wir eless system as the greatest invention of the age, ne could not grant Marconi licenses to establish signal stations in the United Kingdom for fear of interrupting the extensive experimental work now be- ing carried on by the admiralty from which the government hoped to attain most complete results.
 Two Outfits Ordered.
 Berlin, March 3-The United States navy department has ordered for two sta tions a complete outfit of the wireless telegraph system of Slaby and Arco from the Allgemeine Electricates Geselleschaft of Berlin, which will be usued in com parison with the Marconi system.
