Careless Boy

There was once very careless
boy. He never would mind his
mother One day his mother went
uptown, and left him al home.
Before leaving, she warned him not
to play with matches, telling him
of a boy she knew, whose hands
and face were scared from buns
received from making a bonfire
and playing too close TO the fire.
After she had gone, Joe thought,
IN just take look through The
cabinet drawer"
There he found a candle Then
he remembered seeing a trunk in
the attic when his mother cleaned
house. He wondered what was in
it. Getting a match he lighted the
candle, saying, Just one won't
hurt. She will never know"
After a search through the trunk,
he dropped the candle on some cot
ton which soon caught on fire.
This spread to some clothing.
This, of course, frightened him
He never thought Of water or how
ne Coulu put the IRE our.
All he could think Of to do, was
to call Help" When the neigh
bors heard him they sent in
fire alarm. The firemen soon
came, and put the fire out.
Now, | suppose you wonder what
his mother said on her return, after
finding out what had happened.
She was so glaa that her little boy
wasn't hurt, and, thinking 1t
would teach him a lesson, she
kissed the tears away and asked
him il he was through playing
with matches
He said, Never again, Mother"

all their wages and might come to

In this the captain was right. for

drunk came up to the captain and
demanded more money.

BERLIN, Sept. 16.-(By the Associa- ted Press)-The informal negotiations which have been carried on for the past two months between the Ameri- can ambassador, Alanson B. Houghton and George Tchitcherin, and Leonid Krassin, the Russian soviet foreign minister and minister of trade and commerce, respectively, in connection with the American governments sug- gestion that Russia permit a commit tee of American experts to investigate economic conditions in that country came to negative conclusion when M. Tchitcherin this afternoon delivered the Moscow governments reply to the ambassador.
 The reply reiterates Russia's demand for reciprocal arrangement and de- clares that any agreement which fail ed to provid for "a rturn nggmnt"e ed to provide for "a return engage ment" would be calculated to place the Russian people in "a position Of inferiority."

 CARE FOR MEN
 AFTER RELEASE
Doctors, Nurses and Medical Supplies Are Now on
 Scene of Disaster
CRUELLING PACE HELD
Officials Will Make No Pre- diction of What Will Be
 Found After Opening

JACKSON, Cal, Sept. 16.-Doctors and nurses, a large equipment of the aids science has placed at their com mand and 47 hospital cots graphically told the story tonight of Jackson's un- dying hope that the 47 miners en- tombed in the Argonaut mine since August 27 are alive and will be res cued tomorrow, the twenty-first day of their imprisonment.
 Men who have been hewing desper- ately in the Kennedy mine at the bar rier between them and their co-work- CTS went into the Kennedy 3,600-foot level full of confidence that they would advance the work to point where the rescue can be made Sunday morning. The men working on this level are the Argonaut Mine company men, mem bers of the crews that happened to be off shift when fire attacked the shaft of the Argonaut and cut off the escape of their comrades.
 Mine officials state that never be- fore nthe history of the mother lode has such a gruelling pace been main tained. day in and day out over a period os wekes.
 It is conceded that unlses the un- foreseen develops, the Argonaut crew which goes to work at a. m. tomor- row on the 3,600foot level of the Ken nedy mine will break through into the Argonaut workings ahead of the Ken nedy crews working on the 3,9OO-foot level and thereby liberate their own men, as well as win the $5,OOO bonus offered by the Argonaut Mining Com pany to the first crew in.
 Officials tonight would make no pre- diction as to what will be found after the Argonaut mine is opened. It is possible, they say, that there are cave ins on the 4,200-fot level of the Argo- naut where the entry is expected to be made. This may mean days, even weeks of work in order to reach other levels of the Argonaut.
 They also say that the entrapped men may have sought the lower levels and that water may have risen in the mine to such an extent that all who were waiting for rescue have been drowned.
 The greatest fear, however, is that of gas caused by the fire in the Arso naut. Analysis showed only two enths of one per cent of carbon mon oxide in the mines atmosphere to- night.
 It is more than likely, officials state that cave-ins have forced the gas tc practically every part of the Argonaut

Conference Report on Tariff Measure
 Up BeOfre Senate

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-The con ference report on the tariff bill was called up. today in the senate and i'm mediately was subjected to a point of order by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, Democratic leader in the tariff fight. After more than an hours discussion, Senator Cummins, Repub- lican, of Iowa, president pro-tempore. announced that he wished to take the question under advisement and the senate recessed until Monday.
 Senator Simmons contention was that the conferees had exceeded their authority by proposing authority for the president to declare American val uation as the basis of assessing ad valorem duties on any item in the bill when the senate by direct action had limited such authority to the specific items in the two paragraphs dealing with duties on coal tar dyes and other products.
 Should the point of order be sus- tanned, the tariff again would be thrown into conference. Should t not be sustained, it was expected that final legislative action on the measure would come late Monday or Tuesday
