Rescuers Hear Voice Of Man
Buried Last Friday.

Centralia, Pa, Sept. 30.-Deep un-
derground at the Continental colliery,
operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal

very faint He was heard to say he
was very weak and exhausted for want
of food and air, and that the rescuers
should reach him soon, otherwise he
did not know how uick he would die.
A bore hole was sunk where To-
hesky was confined and bottles filled
with food we're lowered 4ehim. With
thousands of tons of coal separating
the ,rescuers from the entombed man,
the former worked with redoubled
vigor after learning he had not been
killed A crowd of relatives and
friends of Tohesky assembled at the
entrance of the mine, cheered when
one of the rescuers came to the sur
face with news that he was alive.
Mine Inspector John O'Donnell and
Superintendent John Hoffner who are
in charge of the rescuers, shouted to
the entombed man to keep up courage,
that no effort was being spared to eff
feet his rescue. At the time he was
made prisoner he was robbing pill
lars Several men nearby heard the
coal grind and crack as the coal ran.
They gave the alarm, and rescuing

ton of Soaring Food Prices.
S Washington, Sept. 30.-The Wilson
administration is engaged in the pre-
liminary work of arranging for a ma
tion-wide investigation of the causes of
the high cost of living and remedies
for the problem.
The work has been going on for
several weeks. So far as it has pro-
gressed the inquiry has convinced ad-
ministration officials that the urban
and rural population will unite in an
effort to bring about an adjustment of
agricultural and marketing methods.
The problem, as the administration
is considering it, 1t embraced in these
two divisions:
Hrst-How to provide the average
farmer with the ready means to in
crease the production of his land.
Second-How to life for all the peo-
pie, and particularly the masses in the
great centers of population, the bur
den of the steadily increasing cost of
food.
In the opinion of President Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture Houston and
the leaders in congress these two
questions for .mthe most serious prob
lem confronting the nation.
