MINERS RESCUED
FROM MINE PERIL
Men Entombed In Flooded Are Re.
leased from Captivity After
Fifty-eight Hours.

Pottsville, Pa, Feb. 2S.-Weakened
by hunger and benumbed by cold,
three miners who were entombed on
Wednesday in a colliery near Mahoney
City, were rescued early today. Two
of them had to be dragged through a
small aperture which had been made
during the last ten feet of the digging
in the wall which separated the men
from liberty.
During the fifty-eight hours the men
were imprisoned they were without
food or water. Their clothing was
soaked with icy water and they suf-
fered great hardship. The waters Of 4
creek broke through the mine wall
and caught five men. Two were
washed by the rushing water to a
place of safety but the others were
caught and imprisoned. After many
hours of labor the rescuers despaired
of saving the men until a faint tap
ping was heard. Then the rescuers
working In relays redoubled their
vigor and finally saved their COM
rades.

TIME SET TO HEAR
SALOON PETITION
Supreme Court Will Take up Des
Moines Case March 31-Postpon-
ed at Request.

Des Moines, Feb. 2S-The Des Moines
mulct saloon petition, which has been
in the courts for more than year, will
be given hearing by the supreme
court Monday March 81. The hearing
was postponed from Feb. 20 to March
81, upon petition Of the Des Moines
Citizens association. an, organization
of business men. which has contested
the legality of the petition since it's
filing with the office of the county aud
itor Dec. Is, 1911. The attorneys for the
association filed an additional eighty
page argument. The temperance work.
ers in Des Moines are optimistic over
the outcome of the supreme court
hearing. The recent high court rulings,
they claim, has been in their favor and
will do much to defeat the petition.
The majority Of 542 signatures to the
petition claimed by the liquor forces
will be Offset, say the temperance
workers, by the recent decisions on
questions which pertain directly to the

Express Pleasure at Choice
Of Alabaman; Two Fac
tions in Washington
Have Oratory Battle.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Congress has
taken up the woman suffrage question
In earnest by the designation OF sub
committee headed by Representative
Hobson. Various committees OF con.
gress have for many years considered
proposed amendments but none mas
ever reported one out.
The NV inquiry, however, promises
to be wide in its scope, and probably
will take the form of hearings. The
sponsors and opponents Of equal sui
frage will be heard and although no
report can be made to the dying con-
gress it is promised that the inquiry
will be finished and report presented
to the incoming congress before II
ends two years hence.
Suffrage leaders are mostly in favor
of federal constitutional amendment
to give women the ballot. There Is
some opposition to that plan, however,
headed by those who believe 1t might
better be left for the states to decide
and thereby escape a problem which
might arise with the granting OF equal
suffrage in southern states.
Those in favor of the latter plan
point In support of their argument to
some little incidents which have hap.
.pened to General Rosalie Jones and
her army" when 1t crosses the Mason

and many of national size gathered for
the demonstration on March are
elated at an official recognition of the
question by congress and are especial
ly elated over the fact that Represen-
tative Hobson has been placed in
charge of the inquiry. He openly
favors equal suffrage and has promised
