SWALLOWED STEEL
POINTS FOR MEDICINE
Mans Mistake Nearly Cost
His Life.

Thinking that he was taking medi-
cine which the doctors had prescrib-
ed for him, Instructor John T. VIII
liams, of Cornell university. in Ithaca,
N. Y, put his hand into his pocket the
other day, pulled out capsule and
swallowed it, Not long thereafter he
began to hunt for sixteen points of an
architects compass which he had mis-
placed and recalled that he had put
them into a capsule for safekeeping
and dropped it into his pocket.
He could not find the capsule, but
in a day or so sharp intestinal pains
gave him an inkling as to what had
happened. He had swallowed the cap
sule with the sixteen compass points
by mistake for medicine.
He was rushed to a hospital, where
surgeons worked over him for two
hours. They finally succeeded in re-
moving every one of the pins by draw
ing them through the small intes-
tines.
While Williams is still seriously i'll
it is understood that he will recover.
Had the pins remained in his intes'
tines he would have died in three
days, the doctors say.

BRYAN Rejects offer of s.. 600 600.

William Jennings Bryan told the
committee sent to Washington by the
citizens of Memphis, Tenn, to invite
him to make his home in that city that
he could not accept.
Judge James NJ. Greer, of Memphis,
chairman of the committee, presented
the Memphis idea. He was followed
by Senators Lea and Taylor and Rep
resentative Gordon, of Tennessee;
Representatives Siss0n, of Mississippi,
and Robinson, of Arkansas, and Duke
G. Bowers, of Memphis. They begged
Mr.. Bryan to come where "the peo-
pie loved him, where he would always
find friends" Mr.. Bowers said he felt
sure that Memphis could easily raise
$2,000,000 if that would be any induce
ment to have Mr.. Bryan in his city.
Mr.. Bryan replied that it was not a
money consideration and that if he
looked at it in that light he would
not be worthy of such an invitation.
He said that he knew he had friends
in the south that would stand by him,
and that was why they did not need
him there; they needed him more in
the north Suggesting that he should
not be on one side of the country, he
said his home at Lincoln is almost in
the center of the country and only
two days ride to any section where
he might be needed to help fight for
the cause of Democracy.

1928 DEAD IN ALABAMA MINE
1923 Convicts Are Among Victims of
EXPLOSION.

Explosion.
The work of recovering bodies from
the Banner mines, at Banner, Ala /,
as the result of the explosion, is slow.
Twenty-three bodies have been taken
from the mines, besides four dead
mules.
The definite casualty figures show
12S men in all killed; two white and
three colored free men; Ill colored
and twelve white convicts; seventeen
mules and one horse.
DR.. j. j. Rutledge, government eX-
pert in charge of the bureau of mines

his party, in searching an entry in
which it was reported number of
entombed men had crawled, expecting
safety. The fan stopped few sec
onds and the accumulated afterdamp
caused DR.. Rutledge to drop. When
taken from the mines it was at first
thought that he was dead. He recover
ed several hours later.
Twenty convicts dug an extensive
ditch, which will serve as a burial
place for the convicts whose bodies
are not claimed by relatives.
While no official statement has been
made, it is believed the explosion was
caused by safety powder being ignited
by lamp and followed by dust. When
the night crew left the mines, shortly
before the explosion happened, Night
Fire Boss Sparks reported the condi-
ton of the mines as good, and the
day shift was sent to work.
There were 173 men in all, only five
of whom were free laborers. The 9th
ers were convicts, mostly negroes sent
up from the surrounding counties to
serve sentences ranging from ten days
to two years.
Immediately following the explosion
several of the convicts, with mining
experience, discovered that black
damp was forming. They at one Q
spread the alarm to those who We're

Second Call to Unseat Lorimer.

Senator LaFOllette introduced req
olution in the u. S. senate for new
investigation of Senator Lorimer'H
title to his seat. The resolution, which
was ordered printed and to lie on the
table, follows the revelations at
Springfield as to a 100000 "slush
fund" 1t cites the fact that material
new testimony has been brought out,
and names as special committee OF
investigation Senators Works, Town
send, Mclean, Kern and Pomerene.
The resolution recites the action of
the senate last session in failing to
declare the seat of Senator Lorimer
vacant and adds:
1T appears from the published re-
ports of the proceedings OF the said
Illinois state senate committee, that
witnesses who were not called and
sworn by the committee of this SEN
ate appointed to investigate said
charges, have appeared before the said
committee Of the Illinois state senate
and upon being interrogated have
given important material testimony
tending to prove that 100000 was cor
ruptly expended to secure the cleo
tion of William Lorimer to the United
States senate"
The resolution provides for meet
ings of the committee and gives to it
full authority to subpoena persons,
send for papers and administer oaths.
