CENTRALIA, Pa, Oct 4.-ThOmas
Toczewski, the miner who was en-

ground in the Continental mine, was
liberated at 1926 o'clock Saturday
morning. He had been entombed for
165 hours and 3 minutes, but was in
good physical condition.
He was released by the efforts of 40
men, who had worked in relays night
and day TO save him. He had lost no
weight and declared:

AS the rescuing miners drilled away
the last layer of coal and rock that
separated Toczewsd from liberty. the
imprisoned man, looking more like a
bear than a human exclaimed:

The reScuing party attempted 10 lift

SUBPOENA WOMAN
WHO TOLD STORY
Girl to Whom Arney is Alleged
to Have Confessed HighSheW
Murder Ordered to Appear
Here.

Preparations for bringing the two
"star" witnesses for the state in the
case against Willard Arney. charged
in 1909, were begun by Prosecutor
Montgomery Friday. when Judge Funk
set the trial for Tuesday.
On application of the prosecutor.
Judge Funk decided that a subpoena
be issued, commanding David G. Pey-
ton, superintendent of the reformatory
at Jeffersonville, TO bring William
Booker, a prisoner at the institution,
TO South Bend, TO testify at the trial.
Booker. according to the states attor-
ney, has confessed completely with Ar
ney in the crime and a signed state
ment was obtained from Booker short
ly after Arney's arrest.
Mrs. Laura Rosinski, now of Moline,
H., with whom Arnev is charged to
have been intimate, and who, ii is
said, was in the first place responsible
for the solution of the murder mys-
terry which had remained secret for
four years will be "co-star" with
Booker on the witness stand for the
state. Judge Funk made an allow
ance 10 the prosecutor TO pay her eX-
penses from Moline
Through Mrs. Resinski, who was a
young girl when Arney is first said to
have become acquainted with her, the
secret which led to Arney's arrest,
leaked out. 1t is charged that Arney,
unable to bear the burden of crime in
silence. confessed his secret to the
girl. She remained silent four years.
Then she dropped the hint which fur
nished the clew. Her statement be-
came neighbOrhOOd gossip and reach
ed the ears of the authorities.
She has since married and moved
from Mishawaka TO Moline.

FREE WOOL HAS CAUSED NO
PANIC,

About 20,00O,000 pounds of WOO
held in bonded warehouses waiting
for the removal of the tariff has been
withdrawn in the last few days. In.
stead of producing a panic and throw
ing thousands of wage earners out OF
employment as the republican pro-
tectionists predicted, the trade report
on the subject is as follows:
1t is inevitable that greater activ-
ity will be stimulated by the availa-
bility of raw material. Smaller mills
around Worchester, like the Queens
bury and Worcester, plan to in
crease their operating capacity at
once to nearly full time against IS
per cent to so per cent at present
When the small and independent
mills get into full operation, max ing
many products that the wooden trust
was able to monopolize under the old
high duties clothes will become
cheaper and the small manufac :urer
will have a chance for his white
alley
& There is some talk of establish ing
smaller mills farther west, and if
that occurs st. Joe should be one of
the places where such a mill could
be located. The WOODEN trust can no
longer dominate the markets..

BATTING THE PRESIDENT,

What may be called the first ex-
preston of militancy on the part of
woman-suffragist in the United
States was properly rebukcd by Presi-
dent Wilson Monday.
Except to pay their respects, the
suffragists had no business at the
White House. They went there
truculently with preliminary de-
mands and menaces which were out
of place and not much to their credit
No president of the United States
will confer the ballot upon women.
No congress of the United States at
this stage of the agitation will at
tempt to confer the ballot upon wo-
men. If women are not content to
urge their cause in the various COM
monwealths, where they have al
ready won notable victories, it is
highly probable that the movement
will soon be halted.
Mr.. Wilson gave his callers a pri-
mary lesson in party and popular
government, and, as is customary
with him, he impaired the instruc-
ton courteously as we'll as pointedly
The appeal of the suffragists must
continue to be to the people-New
York World.

CHANGE THE PENSION RULE.

The Sherwood pension law grants
a pension of a dollar day to vet
Grams rs years of age or older. But
an order Of the pension office re-
quires the old soldier, before he can
get the benefit of this law, to prove
the date of his birth, either by the
state or county registry Of the same,
or by church records of baptism, or
by the entry in the family Bible.
This order would be just and fair
in Europe. where every one is regis
tered, tagged and labeled for the con-
venience of the police. In America
such ruling we'll might repeal the
law. In half our country even today
birth records are irregular and I'M
reliable; and threc-quarters Of cen
fury ago they were a farce. Family
Bibles sometimes contain the requir-
ed date and sometimes they do not,
and not every family has such a
Bible. Church records of baptism
are still more faulty. 1t is safe to
say that of all the people in this
country IS years old or upward not
one in three can give the proof of
age demanded by the pension office.
1t is unjust, ungenerous and I'M
worthy Of a great nation to hamper
righteous law by picayune ruling.
Ola soldiers are entitled to the bene-
fits which the Sherwood law intends
to give. Pension office rulings should
be changed to meet the manifest in
tent of tho law and veterans should
be allowed to prove their age as 9TH
er folks are expected to prove any
thing else-by any evidence avail
able.-Chcago Journal.

CONCERNING WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

President Wilson's statement that
he is not at liberty to urge woman
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton until that amendment receives
the Endorsement of his party puts the
matter squarely up to the next demo-
cratic national convention The Jour-
nal hopes that gathering will take
the rather plain hint.
Equal suffrage is coming. 1t is as
certain as death and taxes. Within
a few years it is sure to be one of the
practical questions Of the hour in
many sta ties, and perhaps in the ma
ton itself. The party which tries
to defeat this just and inevitable re-
form is doomed to a long season Of
retirement from power.
The progressive party has already
gone on record in favor of woman
suffrage. The democratic party
should do so at the next opportunity
