Varson of 133 Wood avenue keeps in his barn at the rear of his house. 373 Wood avenue. Mfr. Varson's barn is also. in the reaF of Mrs. Masten's s house on Hazelwood avenue.
 Mrs Masten said she couldn't sleep because of the noise made by the fowl. She had already complained to the Board of Health about the birds and Sanitary Inspector Lynch spoke to the market man about. them-
 Mir. Lynch said after Mrs. Masten had gone that he was sorry for her but thought that Varson was within his rights. He said Mir. Varson has the fowls shipped him every week He keeps them in his barn for a day and a night or possibly longer and then kills and dresses them for the market The birds are in the barn for about two days each week. MT. Lynch said he did not think MT. Varson was vio- lating the ordinances and the matter would have to be put up to the board. Efs y.A~f r.aaff-~

 Monday.

Washington, Nov. 1s.-The District Court of Appeals today decided to ex- tend the issuance time of the mandate in the Gompers- s-Mitcheil-Morrison con- der to give counsel for the labor lead CTS an opportunity to present to the Supreme Court of the United States. an application for a writ of certionari. Chief Justice Sheppard announced that still further time would be granted if needed pending the action of the high CT court
 In renewing his request for this ex- tension of time which the court re- fused. last Monday, Attorney Ralston alluded to the fact that the supreme court is now on recess and that there would be no opportunity to apply for the writ until the date of reconvening. November 2e. Somewhat to the sur prise of Attorneys for the Federation officials, Attorney Darlington, repre- senting the Bucks Stove & Range Company interposed no objection. He said his client would be willing to make an extension of time in which to present the case to the supreme court.
 Had 1t not been for today's action the mandate would have been issued on Saturday and in the absence of in tervention by the supreme court the three labor leaders would have been sent to jail next Monday.
 The sentence pronounced by Jus tice Wright against Gompers sand his associates calls for the incarceration of the three labor leaders in the jail of the District of Columbia. This jail has been declared by recent investiga- tors to be one of the worst in the country Attorney General Wicker sham recently made a personal inves- tigation, at the jaf1 and declared it disgrace to the government Con- gress Is charged with the responsibl- ity of the unusually antiquated and unsanitary conditions prevailing be- cause of its failure. after repeated ap- peals from the department of justice to make proper appropriations for en- , larging and renovating the institution.

FIFTY MEN WILL GO DOWN INTO
 BURNINGMINE
To Fight Flames and Search for Bodies
 of Entombed Miners
Inspectors Make Preliminary Trip Down
 Airshaft to Explore Interior.
Especial from United Press.)


 Cherry Ills, Nov. 1S.-Early today workmen finished the construction of a temporary elevator in the air shaft of the St. Paul mine and preparations were made at once to send 50 men down into the mine to fight the flames if found necessary and if possible to search for bodies of several hundred miners entombed there last Saturday. The decision to take this action was reached after Inspector Morris and Williams of the American Survey had made several trips down the airshaft In an effort to explore the interior. The searchers were equipped with oxygen helmets. Williams reported that they had found considerable gas and there had been serious cave in. He said no bodies were seen and he did not believe there were any near the tunnel.
 'The scene in the pit was weird" ]" said Morris. "All about us as we des- cended was steam that seemed to swirl and toss. There was very little smoke and much less heat than when we went down Sunday. We saw for the first time that the timber sup ports 90 feet down were scorched but the lower we went the fewer signs of fire we noticed At 6S5 feet below the surface I got numb and gave the sig nal to hoist"
 Both men were completely exhausted after their last trip and had to be helped from the bucket. Their descent was made under dramatic circum- stances. Neither knew what be would have to face and both men wrote let ters of farewell to their wives before making the dangerous trip. The re- turn of the two men and the an- nouncement that more men would be sent into the mine was received with great joy by the miners on the sur face- The officials asked Captain Hall, commanding the two companies of militia, to stand guard at the shafts to prevent disorder.
 Fifty miners volunteered to make the descent and all were instructed to the use of the oxygen outfits.
 Meanwhile the suffering of the many stricken families Is increasing. By a strange irony of fate many of the lit- tie homes are without coal. The reoson for this is there is a great scarcity of wagons for ,.auling and the Red Cross Society has organized the relief work and food and provisions are being dis tributed from house to house today Very little was done yesterday at the mine and 1t Is now believed operations will be suspended until the bodies have been taken from the mine.
