Women In EnoIand.

In the seventeenth century. when
Englishwomen were still recognized as
possessing an economic and political
status side by side with Englishmen.
there was written an interesting entry
IN the church warden's accounts of St.
artin's-in-the-Fields, proving that one
Elizabeth Bartlett was intrusted with
the casting of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for the
same work. Another instance is to be
found in the records of the Fleet pris-
on. of which the first female warden.
appointed in 1917 ON the death of her
husband Robert, received the same sal
airy "as the said Robert had been sc
custOmed to during his life" Their
was no talk then Of confning the wo-
mans sphere to work that was paid
badly.

WITH ENRAGED DOG
Publisher, III at His Home in New

Animal
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17-Battling for
life with an infuriated bulldog, Doug
las Hudson Kicker, a publisher, i'll
with pneumonia, and too weak to
scream for help, was found unconscious,
hours afterward, lying across the life

smothered with blanket.
Taken i'll shortly after his return to
Brooklyn, a few days ago, from Flor
ida, bringing north with him the dog,
which had been pre- nted to him
there, Mr. Kicker was confined to his
bed partially encased in surgical wrap
pings. Left alone for time, after he
had fallen alseep, he awoke to find the
dog standing on his chest.
Trying to push the animal away, 1t
snapped at him. Repeating the at
tempt, Hickey found himself engaged
in a fierce struggle with the animal.
He seized 1t by the throat when it
hands engaged he could not ring his
call bell and, practically voiceless from
his illness, he was unable to call for
help. His strength had almost given
out when, in the struggle, some of the
bed clothing became disarranged. This
interfered with the dogs movements.
Given the idea, the sick man forced
the head of the dog into the mass of
bed clothes. Then he succeeded in
winding the blanket about the dog
and, too weak to hold him longer,
rolled on top. When he had gained the
final advantage he tainted. He was
found unconscious some hours later,
was revived and told the story. He
was greatly weakened by the struggle
and is now reported in a critical con-

DAM BREAKS,

SEA OF MUD FLOWS DOWN ON
LABORERS
Heavy Rains and Thaw Cause Water
to Accumulate in Drift, Filling
1t for a Distance of
$50 Feet
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press. q
POTTSVILLE, Pa, Feb. 17s-Twenty-
eight miners were imprisoned in the
Midvalley colliery near Mount Carmel
this morning by the breaking of dam
which had formed in a drift which
caused a rush of mud into a gangway
where the men were at work.
All day long a party of rescuers en-
deavored to reach the entombed men,
and shortly after o'clock tonight they
were encouraged by sounds of digging
en- the inside.
Later a shot was heard, indicating
that the men are actively at work to
effect their own escape, and that the
air inside is good.
Among the men entombed are num-
Der of experienced miners, and it is be-
lieved it will be possible to effect the
rescue of all of them unless some have
met death by being smothered in the
rush of mud when the dam broke.
Seven of the number are Americans,
the others being foreigners.
The men had been employed in the
drift driving a heading to the surface.
The heavy rains and thaw of the last
few days had caused great deal of
water to accumulate in the drift and
the pressure became so heavy that It
finally gave way and sea of mud
flowed into the gangway where the men
were at work. 1t filled the gangway
for distance of about $50 feet and it
will be necessary to dig through this
barrier to get to the workmen from
this direction.
Three rescuing parties have been put
to work. 1t is hoped to 'be able to get
the men out or give them food and
drink hY tomorrow morning

terized the political situation as serious
and declared that the Democratic
party. hungry with long fasting, will
do its best to get together and win the
coming election
The Republicans must not count
upont Democratic mistakes as in the
past, he said, and mistake now by
the Republicans would be crime. He
paid high tribute to the worth of
Governor Hughes, who, he said, he had
known from his youth.
Former Governor Bachelor of New
Hampshire occasloned prolonged ap-
plause when, in his speech, he declared
that lone of the most remarkable and
one of the most encouraging develop
ments in current political movements
in New York has been the marvellous
growth of sentiment there for Cover
nor Hughes"
Speaking of this sentiment Bachelor
said: "Remarkable / call 1t, because
it has been entirely spontaneous

Of our people that in him they have
