ENSLEY CHURCHES TO GIVE LAWN FETE

The lawn fete and baby show which will be given Saturday, April 30, under the direction of five of the Ensley churches, is creating much interest. The popular baby contest" has already started, and the names of the contestants are on the blackboard at Averyt's pharmacy. This contest is free any one can enter any child by placing the names on the board. Another feature will be a May-pole dance by 1e beautiful young ladies.
 Probably the most interesting contest will be the baby show. Eight ribbons will be awarded according to age. There will be four divisions, ranging from infants to years old. The ladies feel confident the ribbons will be rightly awarded, as the following gentlemen, whose ability to judge babies is too well known to cause comment, will award the ribbons

PLAN TO DIVERT RED
 RIVER FROM COURSE

New Orleans, April 21.-Arguments in connection with the proposal to dam Old river and divert the Red river so that It's waters would empty into the gulf through the Atchafalaya river instead of through the Mississippi were heard today by the Mississippi River commission. Rep, rcsentations from trade organizations in New Orleans and Shreveport argued against the plan to divorce the two rivers.
 Land owners along the Atchafaaya fa- vored the project. The commissions re- port in the matter probably will not be flied until late in the year. further in- vestigation will be made when the com. mission makes its annual fall trip down the Mississippi.

 As the names were called each stepped fcrth, eager to descend into the very jaws of death, for every one of that noble band had earlier in the day been over come by the terrible and deadly gases, and yet all were willing to take the risk again. They worked willingly. though the strained expression on their faces showed the terrible ordeal through which they had passed. Dr. Fred Mcdonald acted the part of a hero. He descended into the mine at a time when the deadly after damp was baffling the efforts of the res cuers to resustcate several of the party who had been overcome.
 COMMEND NEGROES
 FOR THEIR HEROIC WORK
 While it may seem unfair to specialize any individual effort, when every enc was so eager and willing to risk his life, if needs be to further the work, the white miners joined in the general praises of the colored members of the rescue party who rendered valiant assistance in the early part of the day
 With the improved conditions and abundance of air the work will be car ried forward speedily and it is thought most of the bodies will be recovered to- day. Among the members of the rescue party are: James Hillhouse, state mine inspector; Robert Neill. assistant mine in- spector; Hugh McCue, superintendent Wylam mines; Ed A Coxe of the Ten nessee company; W.

SOME THRILLING SCENES
 AMONG THE REsCUERs

Among the many things of wonder to be seen at the Mulga mines yester- day was the daring, determined, per sistent work of the rescuing crews. There was not moment of hesitation among the members of waiting crew as the men who had entered before them were brought to the surface limp and unconscious from the deadly gas they had encountered in the depths be- low. As soon as the cage could be cleared of the prostrate bodies of the unconscious rescuers the fresh men boarded the cage with vigor and dis appeared to take up the work where their comrades had been compelled to abandon it.
 The excitement was increased the more by the sight of those unconscious men as they were brought to the sur face time after time. It was haunt ing fear of the wives and relatives of the rescue crews that these men would also lose their lives in friutless efforts to help the men, dead or alive, who were buried in the mine.
 Sam John, the daring mine superin- tendent who was first to be lowered into the shaft after the explosion, was brought up unconscious and pale after his third descent MT. John was the soul and life of, the rescuers until he was overcome by the fire damp. Al word from him any man in the mining camp was up and doing. MT John is held in high esteem by all oi his men and his work Wednesday night and yesterday has made his an idol 1T the eyes of the miners.
 One of the men brought up about 9:30 yesterday morning was helpless but still able to speak. As he was placed on a stretcher and carried of the cage he pointed down the yawn' ing hole of the shaft: GO back down somebody. Col go There is another man down there" He gasped and lapset into inconsistencies. In spite of al the thrilling experiences of the rescue

Haley. Comet Photographed

Mexico City, April 21.---The first pho tograph of comet ever made in Mexico with a parallactical camera was taken of Halleys comet by Prof. Felipe Vaile. director of the astronomical observa- tory of Tacubaya, at an early hour this morning. The sky was clear and con ditions were excellent to-secure good impression of the ethereal traveller. According to telegrams just received here the comet of Haley has been visi- ble for four days from the Pyramids of the Sun at San Teotihuacan. The messages stated that the comet ap- peared very much like the one of 1929.

HOPE ABANDONED OF
 FINDING ANY ALIVE

Mine Inspector Neal arrived about noon today and descended into the mine at 29o o'clock. When he returned he made a statement that he did not believe there was live man out of the 43 now be- lieved to be in the mine. All hope has been abandoned of rescuing anyone alive since the second rescuing party, which went down at S:30 o clock this morning, was brought to the surface unconscious from the effects of the fire damp which had penetrated every crack and cranny of the mines after the explosion. An accurate list of the names of the men entombed in the mine has not yet been obtained. It will not berlearned who are shut in the horrible tomb of death perhaps for a day or two.
 Pathetic scenes were witnessed about the mouth of shaft No. all day as the rescuing parties were To gered time after time only to be brought back to the sur face unconscious from the fire damp. A crowd of 5000 people had gathered by poon yesterday to watch the work of the res- cuers. The mountain about the mine and the hill across the valley were crowded with spectators anxious to see the most gruesome sight witnessed in Alabama for many years.
 Close about the ropes which held the crowd back stood mothers, sisters, daugh- ters, sweethearts. fathers and sons of the dead men below. The roads leading to the mines were black with the crowds of people on foot, automobiles and rigs of every description, all hurrying to the scene of death. By o'clock yesterday afternoon it was estimated that at least 1000 souls crowded the hills with all faces turned toward the one spot of intense interest-a little black hole in the ground which marked the mouth. of shaft No. 2.
 Toward noon the wives, who knew their husbands were in the mine at the time of the explosion, became wearied and ex- hausted from the strain and worry and most of them went home to try to find much needed rest and sleep if possible. All the time, however, new rescuing parties were being lowered as exhausted ones were brought to the surface and the lbattle against odds for the rescuing of their brother workman carried on by the
 miners.

Mars achieved fame today as high
diver, when he Ieaped from his fall
ing aeroplane at height Of 800
yards into the sea near Sandy
Hook. The machine had become
unmanageabIe, collapsed and fell.
Mars narrowly escaped being struck
by the falling wreck. The aviator
was driving a Curtiss bipIane when
the motor failed. He was carried
out over the sea by a high wind.
The accident occurred near the At
Iantlc club house. When rescued,
Mrs. was swimming slowly. He was
unirjured.
Later the wrecked machine was
towed ashore and Mars said that he
would again attempt flight when
the biplane had been repaired.
Mars ascended at Sheepshead
Bay at Z O'Clock this morning, in
tending to fly to Forts Wadsworth
and Hamilton. He crossed over
Coney island at height of 500 feet
and went out over the ocean to
escape the wind. When his old
pump broke the motor stopped and
the wind blew him from his course
nearly to Sandy Hook.
