Next Congress in October.

Washington, March 4.-Scores of
members of both houses of Congress
joined tonight in an exodus from
Washington, taking with them assur-
ances that no extra session would be
called at least before the fall. De-
spite the fact that many important
bills failed of consideration because
of the long filibuster against the Ship
Purchase Bill, it was generally I'M
derstood that Congress would be
given a rest and the country respite
from legislation. 1t was regarded as
extremely probable, however, that
the Sixty-fourth Congress would be
summoned in October in order to be
able to adjourn for the political con-
ventions and national campaign of
1916.
Besides the Government Ship Pur.

forced over until another time in

LIVED FOUR DAYS IN MINE.
Forty-Seven Men Rescued Alive After
Explosion that Killed 40.

Hinton, w. Va, March 6.-Forty-
seven of the miners entombed in
mine No. 3 Of the New River and
Pocahontas Consolidated Coal and
Coke Company, near Layland, have
been rescued alive. Four of them
walked out unassisted. They all
have been imprisoned four days and
four nights.
About ITO men, as far as could be
checked up, were believed to have
lost their lives, and seventy eight
bodies have been taken out. Hope
for any of the remaining miners was
abandoned.
This morning rescuers in oxygen
helmets came upon an entry of No. 3
mine which had been bratticed off.
Close to the brattice work five men
were encountered alive, but in a
weakened condition. These were
able to walk from the mine and they
reported that nine others were alive
not far from where they were found
The rescuerS fastened their efforts
and soon came upon more of the liv-
ing miners who were able to leave
the mine unassisted in most cases.
All haste is being made to reach
the remainder of the UNEMPLOYED en-
tries in the hope that many others
will be found still living. Forty-five
are missing.

affiliations, for the good of the COM
lmunity, and absolutely without any
suggestion from the defendant of

Gov. Rye replies to the committee
that he has no authority to withdraw
the suit. He also states that the
case being in the court, and certain
questions being raised, the court is
the proper tribunal to adjust them.
Gov. Rye makes the point that his
motives and the motives of others
had been questioned, and that inyes
tigation as to law breaking in other
parts of the State had been made, |
and this being true, a stoppage of
the suit would be tantamount to a |
confession that the Governor himself |
and the Attorney General were
Anxious as to what might be de- |
veloped as to themselves. Gov. Rye |
courts the fullest investigation of his
personal and official conduct. The
Governor compliments the committee
for their intention to see to it that |
the law is enforced. There is a note
of regret in his letter that the COM
mittee did not act earlier. He states
that when the bills were filed the |
motives of all were questioned and,
therefore, there is nothing to do but |
go ahead.
Go to it, Governor The country |

When Gen. Harvey Hannah in his
speech the other day referred to Will
liams Jennings Bryan as the greatest
Democrat in the world he made a
statement that no man can truth
fully challenge. The slurs and ridi-
Guile so gratuitously, persistently and
facetiously dispensed thru the press
as intelligent criticism of the Ne
braskan simply emphasizes the posi-
ton he holds in the confidence of
the American public. These same
critics preach Democracy and stab it
in the back. They are very loud and
vociferous in defense of the sover-
eighty of the people, but jealous of
any leader who has the courage and
the conscience to put this faith to
practice. Bryan has been beset with
this malevolence ever since he made
his first speech in Congress, but with
every succeeding campaign for the
of honest government
he becomes a greater leader and
statesman; and it is real pleasure
to hear him mentioned by such
man as General Hannah as the great

Halloween Spooks.

Saturday night was celebrated In
Union City as Halloween night.
Halloween is put down in the
ecclesiastical calendar as time to
be religiously observed in memory of
departed saints, fraught with ten
der and reverent memories. But the
occasion is generally celebrated in
these parts. However, the one just
passed was the sanest one falling
within the memory of the oldest in
habitant. They marched and pa
raded in squads and in gangs, with
masks, white robes, false faces, and
the youngsters had a great time.
The spirit of malicious mischief was
almost omitted from the program.
In the downtown section the mer-
riment was confined to applying soap
to front windows and a few inno-
cent and harmless pranks A few
wheel-taps were removed from bug
gies and in one instance when the
owner and his family were going
home and a front wheel dropped off,
a lady narrowly escaped serious in
jury. At two of the city school
buildings some pretty rough play
was INDUCED in. But the officers
looked after all this 1t was a great

of former years.

Tommy on the Job.

Gov. Rye is making it warm fol
liquor dealers and law-ignorers in
Tennessee just at this time. He has
the assistance of State officials and
good citizens. In the larger towns is
where the fighting is fiercest and the
smoke thickest-the territory where
prohibition laws couldn't be en-
forced" At Nashville last Saturday,
so the newspapers tell us, the entire
stock of Sol Cohn, valued at nearly
$4,000, was destroyed under the di-
rection of Harry l.. Esker, State Pure
Food and Drugs Commissioner, and
Sheriff Longhurst. Inspector Wealth
erhead, of the Food and Drugs De-
partment, and Deputy Sheriff Dukes
spent the entire daying pouring the
liquor into a sink in Cohn's building.
Liquors of every kind--from cheap
corn whisky to expensive cocktails
and wines-were poured into the
sink. Several hundred bottles of
liquor were placed on the sidewalk
in order that motion pictures could
be taken of the officers pouring per-
fectiy good liquor into the gutter.
Cohn Friday began serving a SEN
tenee of 100 days on the county
road for bootlegging.
Just over the mountains at Chat
taBOoga they seem to have caught up
One-eyed squint at the shadow of a

lash of the Governors Custer whip.

Chicago has, in one sole respect,
shown herself quick to respond to
the growth and improvement of the
South. That is in the realm of trade.
Chicago is acutely conscious of the
value of Southern dollars, anxious to
conserve trade relations with the
region whose rotten industrial con-
illiteracy, blatant self-righteousness
cruelty and violence" are so far un-
worthy of the city of Lorimer,
Hinky-dink, Bath-house John and
the rest of Chicago's municipal
saints. But Chicago serves notice to
the world thru her press that her
commercial relations with the South
carry with them no hint of good
neighborliness, of appreciation of
great men and great movements, of
knowledge of the harvest of the
fields, of civic effort, education, So
cial advance, literature and art, in
which the South has labored.
Chicago's relations with the South
are on revenue basis only.
