government control and regulation OF
all big business. In an address de-
livered here last night, Perkins, in
advocating government regulation,
declared that a commercial court

pass upon all business questions in
which the public interests are in

46 TRAPPED IN
BURNING MINE
Grave Fears Are Felt for Workmen
in Shaft Near Scranton-Govern-
ment Rescuers Called.

SCRANTON, Pa, April Fire
breaking out in the engine house ut
the foot OF the shaft OF the Paneoast
mine Of the Scranton Coal Co., at
ing. trapped 40 men in the lower
veins. Between them and the TWO
shafts the only means OF getting from
the lower vein, known as the China
yein,' the workings are filled With
thick black smoke from the fire,
which badly damaged the engine
house at the foot of the shaft i. is
believed that when the men are
reached, they will all be found saf-
located Among the 46 men III the
mine are Isaac Dave, fire boss, and
Walter Knight, mine foreman.
The only means of preventing suffO-
cation is being taken, this consisting
OF sending all the fresh air that is
possible into the lower vein. All
the air lines in the workings have
been so diverted that every bit OF air
possible is being driven into the tun-
mel. where the i6 men are entombed.
II is impossible for any rescue par
ties TO make any headway into the
because OF their being
choked with dirt. A hurry call was
sent TO Kingston for the United States
mine rescue car and 1t 10
expected 10 arrive at any moment.
This can is equipped with oxygen
tanks and helmets, and II is hoped
that II Will then be possible~to reach
the entombed men.
1t is reported that the mine cars IN
the workings are on fire and tne
Throop fire company has been called.
A line OF hose has been stretched IN
to the workings and water is beins
sent down at high pressure.
Gen Supt Joseph Birtley is In
charge OF the force that has been
making repeated efforts to reach the
men.

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM @. FREEMAN.
No. 703.

One of the reasons that news
papers do not get all the general
advertising that really belongs
to them is the jealousy and
knocking" done by newspaper
representatives who do not hap
pen to get the first copy put out
by new advertiser.
In a big city not long ago a
concern wanted to try out news
paper advertising. They selected
an agent who knew his business,
and after some discussion de-
cided to use ONE newspaper.
This newspaper was selected
because they wanted to reach
the members of the clubs in that
city, and they knew that this
newspaper was read by them.
1t was the managers inten-
tion to spend about $4,000 in this
newspaper, and he had an idea
he would be able to show his as
sociates sufficient returns to JUS

being able to take a trip 10 some
American resort that trip to Europe
or a voyage around the world will be
possible from the earnings of the
money spent on vacations, Tulsa
property sure has increased In value
in the last six years and IL the in
crease keeps up. the values will be
such that the thousand-do vaca-
ton fund Of this summer will be
about $4,000 In three years
