To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Quite number of advocates Of the amendmerft>> claim that prohibition has been failure in Alabama and it is es- sential to make the laws on prohibition more stringent by putting 1t in the con- stitution. If some one will kindly tell the writer through The Age-Herald in what respect it will be more stringent how 1t will abolish the blind tigers that infest the state and how it will promote temperance, thereby diminishing the num- bers of crimes caused from intoxicating drinks, or can show that adding this article to the constitution will increase the effectiveness to the laws of pro- hibition, he willAthen vote in favor of the amendment. The writer's motto Is: Down with whisky and other evil pro- ducing clements, but how is 1t to be accomplished? If anyone can answet correctly then he will be the first to solve problem that has been worrying the worlds greatest men for hundreds of years. Some one speak up-don't be backward-and answer the above ques- tions and don't be ashamed to sign your name. J. WALLACE WHEELER.

Rescue Party Leave Plttsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa. November 14.-With half a car load of oxygen tanks and safety helmets, George F. Rice and J. W. Paul and two assistants. all members of the testing board of the local geological sur vey station, left here tonight for Cherry, Ill, the scene of yesterdays mine dis aster. The party will assist in the work of rescue.
 A private telegram received by J. c. Roberts, assistant chief engineer of the local geological station, from R. Y. Wil- Hams. chief of the Urbana, H., geological testing station, stated that over 800 men were undoubtedly dead in the mine.
 Relatives of Cherry miners made anx- ious inquiries of the Associated Press today concerning news of the disaster. James Mulhein, an aged miner living in Pittsburg, had six sons employed in he Cherry mine. No word has been received by theTfather from his sons since the disaster.

rhorlneton Makes Staten ent.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In your issue of the 10th inst, you published an article from Judge Thomas w. Coleman on the proposed constitu- tional amendment in which he criticises portions of a letter previously written by me on the same subject. as he had a perfect right to do. I am sure, how justice, and yet because of his having mistaken some of my statements his article has that effect.
 For instance, he assumes that I said the dictionary definitions of the word "places" do not include home when my statement was that the word "places' as used in the amendment is not sug- gestive of the home and does not in clude home, and I still so insist It Is of course matter of general knowledge that in nearly all cases the dictionaries give several different definitions, or diff ferent shades of definitions, to the same word, and the proper definition in any given case is determined by the connec- ton or association in which the word is used. So in giving the definitions of the word place the dictionaries give home as one of them but of course all the definitions are given In the abstract for instance. if I should say, '.there are places in Birmingham no one could pos sibly understand what was meant by the word places, notwithstanding [ had used dictionary word; but if I should say. there are suitable places in Bir- mingham for the restaurant business my meaning would be plain, but no one would understand me as referring to homes, but to business places
 And, again, if I should say: There are good places in Birmingham for car rying on the saloon business no one would understand me as referring to homes. but to business places
 In each of these instances the mean ing of the world places Is determined by the connection and collocation of words. And so In the amendment the word places is used in connection with the manufacture and sale of intoxicants and therefore has no connection with the home.
 The other point referred to by Judge Coleman is my statement that the home is not expressly mentioned in the amend ment and could not be included in 1t by implication or construction. He lost sight of the predicate for this statement which was that the keeping of such beverages in the home was common right which the state had never attempted to take away, that 1t was right which our forefathers brought to this country with them and being a common right 1t could not be taken away even by a consti- tuition except by clear affirmative words, and that Is undoubtedly sound doctrine.
 In the Amer & Eng. Ency. of Law the following proposition is thoroughly sup ported by authorities: Tn construing a constitution an intention to take away or destroy individual rights is never pre-

 Thirteen Heroes.
 The story of the 13 heroes who went down to their death in the blazing shaft of the Cherry mine and of the one man who came back scared by fire and black ened by smoke, to tell the tale, Is being related here today in all it's details and forms one of the most enthralling mar ratives in the history of mining in this country.
 Standing out above all the others is the story of Dr. l.. B. Howe. the man who came back" the only one of the heroic IA who survives to tell what hap pened. Seven times before the other rescuers began to go down into the burn- ing shaft he went down alone in lift and each time he brought to the surfsce his quota of saved Twenty-Five miners owe their lives to him.
 Today his hands are badly burned, but he shows no other scars. When asked to describe his experience he merely shrugged his broad shoulders and said:
 T couldn't have done anything less than I did. It is not worth talking about Besides. am too busy to talk today
 Little Boy Saved.
 The disaster brought to light many unnamed heroes Among these was a miner who, while fighting his way through the blinding smoke, stumbled across the body of a little "trapper' boy, who had been overcome at his post of duty at one of the trap doors that control the air supply.
 Stooping, the miner felt the boys heart and finding that life still existed he picked up the unconscious form and plac- ing 1t upon his shoulders staggered on until he met one of the rescuers. Both the miner and the boy reached the sur face in safety.
 All the state mining inspectors from the ten districts comprising the coal fields arrived here today. Inspectors Hudson and MacAlester joined In declar- ing the equipment of the mine was the most modern, substantial and efficient in the state. They also said the officials and superintendents had instituted and oper- ated thorough system of safety meas ures. When questioned regarding the blame for the fire, Hudson said:
 From what I have learned l can only say that carelessness-criminal careless ness-on the part of some of the men

Revision of Rules Needed.

Blacksburg. va., November 4.-Presi- dent Barringer of the Virginia Polytech- nic institute says that the unprecedented fatalities in football during the past month demand prompt action on the part of those intrusted with the lives and health of college boys. The revision of the rules at the hand of coaches and players has proved failure and it is time for more conservative interests to take charge of the game.

These still show that foreign spin ners are advising their American cousins to do as they say and not as they do; they are fully 100000 bales to the good out of the cream of this short crop that much ahead of their handsome talk ings for the corresponding 73 days last year. and If they can only succeed In keeping the wool over the eyes of Amer ican spinners they will do even better. To fiji out a 100000 consumption would require 23o0oO week; anything over that necessarily indicates that the mills are providing ahead for eventualitles.
 Does the difference between S66,0oo and o30.oO0 indicate anxiety for short time? Look again at the totals to date. In thousands:
