a larger number Of people than ever
taking an interest in its proceedings.
As the conference proceeds there is
a growing interest in the appointments
to be madS The appointments will
not be announced by Bishop Morrison
until Monday and will probably be
read at the close of the morning ses-
sion.
The conference enthusiastically in
dorsed plans to establish a Methodist
.orphanage for Oklahoma.
This institution will in all probabil-
ity be built in Oklahoma City. 1t is
current talk that the grounds of the
now unused school property in Ok
lahoma City will be cleared of debt

phan children. A committee of FIVE
men Will be appointed with a like
number from the eastern Oklahoma

Poolroom and Dwelling
Burned at Lees Cross Roads

Carlisle, Pa, Nov. 4. A fire last
night for a time threatened the town
of Lees Cross Roads, a small village
about four miles southeast of Ship
pensburg and help was asked for from
Carlisle and Shipensburg as the town
Is without fire apparatus.
The fire started in the poolroom and
store of Elmer Collins, located in a
double building occupied by the Col
Inns family also as a residence. The
other half of the house was occupied
by John Moras.
The storeroom had been closed
only about half an hour when the fire
started and Mr.. and Mrs. Collins es-
capped from their apartments with
difficulty. Mrs. Moras was overcome
by smoke and Is in a serious condition
to-day.
Appeals for aid were telephoned to
Shippensburg and Carlisle for fire
apparatus. The Shippensburg chem
ical engine reached the scene and
prevented the spread or the flames to
other properties. but the building the
fire started in was ent:re,y DESTROYED.
When the Carlisle apparatus was
starting for the scene word came that
1t would not be needed. A bucket
brigade also rendered good service in
extinguishing small fires in adjoining
buildings.
The property was owned by George
Williams of MELVILLE. The loss will
reach about $4,000. Collins had $500
insurance, but the Moras family lost
all their belongings.

WEST SHORE HIGH
SCHOOL LOAN WILL
BE PASSED TUES.
Will Do Much For Develop
ment of Whole West Shore,
Voters Say

The whole West Shore is stirred
over the proposed loan for the purpose
of creating a. fund with which to erect
big Central high school for the boys
and girls of West Fairview, Wormleys-
burg, Lemoyne, Camp Hill, and East
Pennsboro township, including the
towns of Washington Heights and
Enola. The plans call for a high
school as good as those planned for
Harrisburg at an expense that in the
end will be lower than the expenses
of the schools now maintained by the
various boroughs.
When the loan was first proposed
there was much opposition to it, for
the reason that people in general sup
posed that 1t would mean a big in
crease in taxes that otherwise would
not have to be paid. Now, however
the taxpayers understand that to have
central high school will not cos,
more and probably will be cheaper
in the long run and that they car
have school equal III every way to
that proposed for Harrisburg, thai

FIERCE BATTLE
IS RAGING IN

Neither Side Able TO Make Pro-

Heavy fighting continues on the bat

Twenty-Seven Miners
Entombed by Explosion
Are Believed Dead

Birmingham, Ala. Nov. 4.-Eighteen
negroes and nine white men entombed
in the Bessie mines of the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron Company,
twenty miles west of here. are believed
TO have lost their lives early day by
an explosion, said to have been caused
by gas. Two bodies of unidentified
negroes have been brought to the sur
face.
Rescue crews from government and
state mine bureaus are at work trying
TO reach the men. Two white men and
three negroes escaped injury by work
ing their way through the debris which
the blast caused in the opening.
The explosion occurred below the
eighth level of tho mine and was of
such force that the mouth was con-
siderably damaged and a number of
cars were wrecked on the mine tipple

Who cared if the heavens were gray
and lowering? Who cared If the
clouds let down a slithering, cold rain?
Who cared if the streets were wet with
Old Natures scrubbing? 1t might
have been the crouch who sat com
fortably in his car and turned over in
his mind the question of whether or
not the loan means slight increase in
tax rate. 1t might have been the pull
back that hesitates over the question
of proper high school facilities. or
1t might have been the fellow who
thinks the redhouse curriculum is
good enough for his sons and daugh-
tiers because it served his own purpose,
more or less. But surely the cheer
full hundreds of small folks-the vot-
ers and wives and mothers of voters
of the not very, very distant future
DIDN'T mind.
Gaily they tramped along and now
and then they sang the songs that
have often echoed across football field
and track just to show they're accus-
toned to victory-and how they after
all, can show real sportsmanship at
defeat.
True enough Harrisburg's leading
business men, members of the Cham
Der of Commerce, Rotary Club, the
younger business men who comprise
tie Technical high school alumni, the
years gone by-they marched with the
youngsters of to-day.
And the bands played just the kind
of stuff that makes one eager to step
along.
And along the route thousands OF
folks stood beneath dripping umbrel-
las and wondered and hoped that such
eager youthful sportsmanship would
be rewarded Tuesday.
Central 1000 Strong
Following the Rotary Club, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Board
of School Directors, who led the
pageant came the Central High stu
dents, 1000 strong. They were led by
cheer leaders Harold Eckert, Paul Sell

Junior boys, the Sophomore boys, the

the greatest thing in the parade, Cen

The boys carried school pennants
but were completely outdone by the

and cheers gaining much approval
