ERNEST AUGUST MAY NOT

Consequently Emperor Williams
Only Daughter May Not Be Wife
of Reigning Sovereign.

BERLIN, October 3-An utter dead
lock has apparently been reached in the
negotiations for the placing of Ernest
August of Cumberland and his bride.
Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, on
the throne of Brunswick. and Emperor
William may be disappointed in his hope
of seeing his only daughter the wife of a
reigning sovereign. This has been brought
about by the failure of the Prussian Off
cials to realize clearly before the be-
trothal Of the young prince and princess
the determination of Prince Ernest Au-
gust and his father the Duke Of Cum
berland, never formally to renounce their
rights to the Hanoverian succession.
Prince Ernest August declared fatty to
Prince AUgust Wilhelm, Emperor Will
liam's son. who was sent to confer with
him at Karlsruhe before the betrOthal
in order to induce him to renounce his
rights:
For me and my family honor comes
first. then love-"
Princess Victoria Louise may therefore
find herself the wife of a pretehder in
much the same position as former King
Manuel of Portugal.

MINER YET IMPRISONED
BEHIND TONS OF COAL
Solid Anthracite Remains to Be Cut
Away Before Thomas Tashesky
Can Be Liberated.


CENTRALIA, Pa, October 3.-It was
estimated by the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company officials this morning that ten
or twelve feet of solid anthracite coal
remains to be cut away before rescuers
will be able to reach Thomas Toshesky,
the miner who was entombed in the
Continental colliery one week ago today
1t had been expected that the imprisoned
man would be liberated about noon to-
day, but he will doubtless have to spend
another night, or part Of 1T. in his little
cell. The man is confined in a space
seven feet wide by fifteen feet long.
Makes Cheerful Response.
When told that he would likely re-
main a prisoner from fifteen to twenty
four hours longer, Toshesky replied
cheerfully that he would have to be
satisfied. He again requested his res
cuers to visit his family and cheer them
up.
The imprisoned miner told the miners
working to dig him out that he worked
several hours during the night cutting
away coal in order to tire himself SO
that he could sleep more soundIy He
has had very little sleep. and is be-
coming extremely nervous. When told
he had been confined a week, Toshesky
said he hoped ii would not be more than
another day until he could see the sky
again and his wife and four children.
Hopes to Attend Sunday Services.
Two Of Toshesky's daughters are to be
confirmed next Sunday, and he hopes to
be in condition to attend the services
Mrs. Toshesky was bitterly disappointed
when told that her husband would not
be with her today. She is satisfied
however, that he will be rescued alive

NEXT STEP IN INQUIRY.
Pressing Need of Relief for Rural
Laborers to Engage British.

LONDON. October "a summary of
the first part of the land inquiry report
on which will be based the next step
of the governments program of social
Legislation has been made public, and
shows the pressing need of relief for
rural laborers.
The report. which is made under the
direction of David Lloyd-George. chan
cellor of the eXChequer. states that the
wages now paid do not allow the level
of physical efficiency to be maintained
The question, IL is urged. is the more
pressing. because since 1900 prices have
risen disproportionately to wages. OBJ
lection is shown TO an increasing degree
by laborers To the wages being partly
paid in kind. The Iaborer feels the long
hours and the absence of holidays nearly
as much as the lowness of wages. The
loss of wages through wet weather
Is a strong object of complaint.
\ surprising feature of the report is
the absence of any reference to the
much discussed minimum wage Of IS q

JAP IN SAYS LAND
BILL VIOLATES
THE TREATY
Also Trangresses 18th Amend
ment of Constitution
QUESTION IS POLITICAL
Reply Read at Cabinet Meeting But
Consideration is Deferred Be-
cause of Bryan's Absence.

Washington, June 1.-THE rejoiner
of Japan to the United States note
on the subject of the California alien
land ownership legislation reiterates
that the land bill passed by the Cali
fornia Legislature violates the spirit
of the Japanese-American treaty by
discriminating against friendly
power. 1t points out that even if
the question is an economic one, it
enters the domain of international
relations and therefore becomes po-
litical The note says that the Cali
fornia legislation violates article l
of the apanese-American treaty of
1911, which authorizes subjects or
citizens of the contracting parties to
own or lease houses, which are in
separable parts Of real estate. 1t al
son declares that the new bill vio-
lates the 14th amendment to the
United States constitution, requiring
the states to grant equal protection
under its laws to all persons within
its Jurisdiction.
Japan's note was read ct the cabi-
net meeting at Washington yester-
day and later was the subject of a
conference between President Will
son and John Bassett Moore, coun-
selor of the state department. Con-
sideration of the note was deferred
until the return of Secretary Bryan,
who left early in the afternoon for
Pittsburg, to attend a farewell din
ner in honor of the new ambassador
to Japan from the United States,

BASE BALL BUNTS

Bennington played a ragged game
at Adams Thursday where the Yer
monters lost by a score of to /.
The Huckleberry boys batted the
ball hard enough to win an ordinary
game but they were unable TO do
much with Andy Coakley when run
ners were on the sacks. Adams won
the game in the third inning when
ICY" Ferry's men drove Ruiter of
the mound. The youngster was hit
for triple and a double and also
gave a free ticket Edgar's muff OF
a fly in center field was responsible
for at least one OF the three runs.
Peloquin, who succeeded Ruiter in
the third would have held Adams
runless for the remainder OF the
game but for two boots by Shortstop
Conley. Carolan who made three
hits during the game scored the only
run for Bennington.
