MINER FIGHTS FOR
LIFE AS AIR GIVES
OUT; RELIEF NEAR
Rescuers Start Last Forty-Foot
Cut and Expect TO Reach
End Tonight.
IMPRISONED MAN SENDS
MESSAGES TO HIS WIFE
Food, Clothing and Blanket
Passed Through Tube to
cave-In Victim.

CENTRALIA. Pa. Oct. The res
cuing party at the Continental mine
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
which Is trying to reach Thomas
Toshesky a miner, who was en-
tombed last Friday. this morning ar
rived at a point which showed that
forty feet of solid coal and rock
would have to be cut through to en-
able them to crawl in and release the
imprisoned man.
Toshesky is underlying the terrific
ordeal bravely in his isolated little
prison. 100 feet below the surface.
Frequently during the night he con-
versed with the rescuers, his remarks
being heard very clearly through the
fifty feet of tubing penetrating the
coal breast from an adjoining cham
ber.
Since a blanket was pushed through
the tube to him yesterday Toshesky
feels more comfortable. He said
water was dripping from the roof
and that his prison was beginning
to grow damp, while the atmosphere
was becoming heavy. Unless he is
soon rescued he may perish for want
of fresh air. mining experts say.
Nearly every time he talks Tohesks
asks about his wife and four children.
He begs the reseuers to tell his wife
that she should worry as little as
possible. A number of mine inspec-
tors from various anthracite districts
are assisting in the work of rescue.
Officials OF the mine said today that
Tohesky may be taken from the mine
by tonight. Progress is slow, as there
is constant danger of additional falls
of coal and debris.

for Invocation of Saints

LONDON, Oct Extreme Pro-
testants are shocked ct sermon by
the Right Rev. Arthur Ingram. bishop
of London. delivered at one of the
services of the annual Church of Eng
land congress at Southampton yes
terday, in which he dealt with invo-
cation of the saints. He made a plea
for the restoration Of that aspect of
the doctrine of the communion of
saints to which every Christian reeit-
ing the APOSTLES Greed is pledged
The bishop said It was mistake to
regard the invocation of the saints as
a question which merely divided the
Roman and Anglican churches. IT
was. he said. matter which con
cerned what was. deepest in human
nature and which was agitating the
minds of many people at the present
moment and also occupying the at
tention of men of science It would
have to be reckoned with as much as
anything else, said the bishop, If
there was going TO be a reunion of
Chrfstendom.

REGISTRY FRAUD
COMPLAINT MADE
j. M. Rhodabeck Files AlIega-
tions Against Election Officer
of the Eleventh Ward.

Allegations of fraud in the Eleventh.
election district of the Eleventh ward
We're made to Judge William p. Mar
tin today in a letter written by John
M. Rhodabeck, deputy commissioner
of motor vehicles.
Mr. Rhodabeck charged James L,
Coghlan, of 244 North Seventh street.
one of the election officers Of that
district, with having failed to close
the registry books on September y
the first registry.
The books, so he said, We're still
open on primary bay, and were not
closed until their condition had been
noticed and a protest made
While he is not in a position to
make any charges, Mr.. Rhodabeck
asserted that. he was positive names
had been added illegally.
He said that despite the fact that
fourteen Democratic voters had died
or moved away from the distinct
since the last general election, eighty
eight votes were cast in the Demo-
cratic box, one more than the number
voting last year.
Mr.. Rhodabeck further stated that
Coghlan displayed 'pernieious polit-
ical activity by spending more ihan
half his time ON primary day outside
the election Office soliciting votes or
holding conferences With Moses
Reichman and Reichman's runrers.
The purpose of Coghlan's alleged ac-
tivity, according to the letter writer,
was to give Reichman Information
to be used to the disadvantage of
Rudolph A. WINNER, who vas run
ming for county committeeman in
Mr.. Rhodabeck;s interests, and 10 the
advantage Of Coghlan's brother, who
was candidate for the same posi-
ton.
Judge Martin requested watson
Rodemann, clerk of the election board,
TO order Coghlan to appear for a hear
ing at clock tomorrow afternoon.
1t is claimed that Mr. Rhodabeck is
wrong in his contentious. as, by nat
ural growth and new residents, the

UNDERWOOD TARIFF
B|LLsslS TABLED
BY THE SENATE
Will Not Consider Measure I'M
til Democrats Discuss Sched=
nles in Caucus.
INSURGENTS MAY FORCE
IT BACK TO CONFERENCE
La Toilette and Penrose Lead
Attack by Republican
Minority.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The entire
conference report on the tariff bill
was laid aside for twenty-four hours
in the Senate today as the result of
a protest among Democratic senators
which resulted in the calling OF a
party caucus TO go over the confer
ence report before it should be finally
acted upon in the Senate.
: A hurriedly called caucus assembled
at IL o'clock, but when the Senate
met at noon the caucus had made no
progress toward a conclusion, and
the Democratic leaders agreed to .ay
the tariff bill aside. The caucus re-
sumed work at o'clock this after
noon. The so-called insurgent forces,
led by Senator Reed, of Missouri,
who circulated the demand for a
caucus, insisted that there were
many compromises and amendments
agreed to by the conference commit
tee, which demanded further study
and considerati ton by the Democrats
of the Senate before being finally
written into the bill.
After an hours discussion of the
matter in the caucus Democratic lead
ers determined not to try to force the
tariff bill through the Senate today,
but to allow ample time for debate
rene's objection to the action of the
conferees in dropping the s1.10 tax on
grape brandy used to fortify sweet
wines and Senator Reeds criticism
of the decisions of the conference
committee on several important tariff
rates were the chief points brought up
when the caucus met.
Senator Kern, the Democratic lead
er, and Chairman Simmons, of the
finance committee, expressed the
opinion early this afternoon that the
tariff bill would be taken up tomor-
row in the Senate. The controversy
over the proposed cotton futures tax
may further prolong the deliberations
of the Democratic caucus, however.
When the Senate met the confer
ence report on the bill as agreed to
by the House was presented.
Senator Simmons for the Senate
conferees asked that the conference
report be allowed to lie on the table
until tomorrow. He offered no ex-
plantation of the request, but ii was
granted and the consideration of the
tariff bill went over.
The proposed compromise in the
cotton futures tax was also pFS I
considerations IN ne Ssiasciiss lX
threat oil Republicans, incipdislg
Senators La Toilette and Penrose,
that they might try TO send the con-
ference report back to the conference
committee as soon as it was taken up
in the Senate, further complicated the
situation that confronted the Demo-
cratic leaders 1t was feared that a
move of that kind, If it received the
support of any Democrats, might gain
sufficient strength to force the con-
ference report back into another con-
ference with instructions that would
embarrass the conference in an effort
to reach another agreement.
The Underwood bill passed the
House shortly before o'clock yes
terday afternoon by vote of 254 to
103.
