Six Members Out of Town.

AS six members of the committee were
out of town, their places had to be
taken by new members. The absence of
men from town and from their places
of business when calls were made has
made the work of the committee more
difficult, but they are doing it with cheer
fulness and confidence in the outcome.
The fact that subscriptions are also be-
ing asked for the Chamber of Commerce
convention fund on the George Washing
ton Memorial Auditorium project and for
the safe and sane Fourth of July fund
has made the response to the commit
tees efforts less than it would otherwise
have been. The committee agreed to
meet again Tuesday afternoon of next
week at the Chamber of Commerce to
report. it is hoped, for the last time.
and meanwhile will ask for the citizens
to send in their subscriptions to any men,
Der of the committee without waiting to
be asked, although the members of the
committee will continue the canvass from
day to day.

by yesterdays terrific gas explosion
in the Lawson coal mine at Black
Diamond, reseuers are working hero
ically to reach the entombed miners.
At midnight they had reached the
first level at a depth Of $50 feet. The
work is extremely hazardous owing
to crumbling walls.
It's hardly possible that several
men who were in a cave below the
first level escaped death. If the
xp osion occurred above that level
it is belioVsd the car was shut off by
slide of earth and that the men
may be imprisoned 1900 feet below
the surface.
rhe explosion completely wrecked
the workings Of the m1ne, causing
the wall and roof to cave in and hurl-
ing heavy timber and steel supports
out Of the mouth the shaft with such
velocity that they were shot half
mile across country.
The cause of the explosion has not
been ascertained.

from death on the gallows tomorrow
on the grounds that Mrs. Belle

He will request that the secretary

ton the home secretary Of Great
Britain to order stay of execution
until Mrs. Crippen can be produced
in the flesh.
Before leaving he said, Belle FL
more still lives. When she is found it
will be in the vicinity Of Chicago
where she is in hiding. I have letters
in my possession from people who
know her and who have seen her
since she is said to have been MUIR
dered by her husband and her body
buried in his London home. These
people have not only seen her, but
they have spoken to her and she has
not deneid her identity. She was
seen in San Francisco. Latter she
was seen in Chicago and after that
was seen and spoken to in several
cities south and east Of Chicago.
II am Of the firm opinion that she
in hiding to carry out the most con-
summate plan of revenge in the an
nails Of crime. If a stay Of execution
is granted I will start out at once. !"

London, Nov. THE date of the
execution, by hanging, of DR.. H. II.
Crippen, murderer Of his wife, Belle
Elmore, the music hall singer, was
today postponed until Nov. %.
The date originally fixed, was to-
morrow. The postponement was or
dered officially by the home Office
which is taken by many to indicate
that Home Secretary Winston
Churchill will at least give the case a
thorough hearing before he allows
Crippen to go to the gallows,
At Scotland Yards it was said the
postponement of the execution had
nothing to do with the Philadelphia
report that Mrs. Crippen is alive and
hiding as the result of a fiendish plot
to send her husband to death. The
authorities declared they have not
heard Of the rumor nor of the offer
Of DR.. Munyon, the Philadelphia pa
tent medicine firm, to pay SIS, 900 for
information leading to the recovery
Of Mrs. Crippen alive.
Crippen's attorneys are busily en-
gagged in drafting a petition to Home
Secretary Churchill, asking either
/ that he grant an unconditional par
don to Crippen or that he commute
the sentence to life impris isonment.
