Coal Mine Fire
Is Under Control
After 62 Years
(By Associated Press)


Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 9.-The
Summit Hill fire, the king" of all
mine fires, is still burning, but it is
well under control, according to a
recent announcement by the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company, on
whose property flames have been
eating up millions of tons of an
thracite coal for the last sixty-two
years. While this one has been
Brought under control, another mine
fire, which has been burning nine
teen years near Mount Carmel, Pa,
in the heart of the lower anthracite
fields, is still trying to spread. A
third fire, which has been raging for
three years, in the Red Ash vein of
the Red Ash Coal company on the
Wilkes Barre mountain, has made it
necessary to close the old Giants
Despair road, known to many auto
mobilists because of the hill-climb-
ing contests that have been held
upon it.
The Summit Hill fire in the Pan
Their Creek valley between Lansford
and Coaldale, was discovered in Feb
ruary, 1859, in an abandoned gang
way. The hard coal dips from 20
degrees to about 70 degrees and is
about so feet thick. The area in
volved is about one mile long by
1900 feet wide. How many millions
of tons of coal have been consumed
has never been accurately ascertain
ed, but it has cost the company more
than 100000 to fight the long
burning fire.
In the early sixties an open cut
was made in the involved area, which
seemed to isolate the flames for
many years, but eventually the fire
travelled past this cut into the coal
areas beyond. Many efforts were
made to check the flames, but to no
avail until about 1910 when a con-
crete and clay barrier, about twelve
feet thick, ITO feet deep and 700 feet
long. was built. The fire travelled
so rapidly that it pressed closely
upon the location of the new barrier
before the work was completed and
the heat became so intense that men
could work only in Commute relays.
The barrier eventually checked the
progress of the fire.

Pope Is in Duval
Jail to Wait for
Appeal Decision
IBy Associated Pressl

Jacksonville, Jan. 9.-John H.
Pope, former well-known local law
yer, who was recently sentenced to
life Imprisonment in connection
with the murder of George H. Hick-
man, manager of the Palace theater,
was brought here today from con-
vet camp at Sneads, to be confened
in the Duval county Jail to await ac-
ton of the Florida supreme court,
where his case has gone on appeal
through his attorney, Edgar w.
Waybright.
Pope has recently been working
at road convict camp, located
near Sneads. He was convicted with
Frank Rawlins, the young man who
actually shot to death the manager
of the local theater and ran from
the building with about $500 in cash.
Rawlins was captured about a block
from the scene of the murder and
was put in the county Jail. Later he
made a statement that incriminated
Pope as a principal in the first de-
gree, saying that Pope planned the
robbery of the theater and was to
have helped Rawlins to make his es-
cape. Both were indicted jointly.
and the result of the sensational
trial was that both were sentenced
to prison for life. Rawlins, it is
said, is also attached to a road con-
Wet camp.

Chinese Women of
Higher Class Are
Equals of Yankees
(By Associated Pressl

South Hadley, Mass, Jan. 9.-The
educated women of Japan and China
are described enthusiastically by
President Mary E. Woolley at Mount
Holyoke college, who is absent from
the college on six months trip as
a member of the China education
commission.
From Toxic she wrote of lunch
con, at which the guests were pro-
gressive Japanese women. "All but
one spoke English well, and from
their points of view regarding social,
educational and and international
questions, were as like similar
group in America as peas from the
same pod"
Of the girls in the Girls Higher
Normal college in Picking, Miss
Woolley wrote: "Such bright, re-
sporsive faces with a quick appre-
citation of anything humorous. There
are only $50 of them and 20 more
in the National university, the only
provision which the government
makes for the higher education of
girls in all China, with its 100000
900! Of course, the Christian col
leges supplement this, but the Chi
nese women college trained are few
and far between"
In speaking of a dinner given in a
charming Chinese home in Hankow
President Wpolley again described
the educated Chinese women:
Alert, witty, earnest-one cannot
despair of China's future with q
group of this sort. l like the Chi.
nese immensely The cultivated
class seem more like the same type
of Americans than any other East
ern nation l have seen, especially
the women. Their sense of humor
their quick perception their direct
ness, are very likable."

heard mentioned in connection with
the senatorial campaign in Michigan
until after the primary election and
the report of the committee was
filed
Didn't Have to Spend.
81 did not solicit or expend, direct
ly or indidectly, one single dollar in
the campaign for senator in Michi-
gan in 1918, nor did l know of the
contributions made, until afterwards.
The two statements which l made
under oath to the senate are abso-
lutely and wholly true. The first is
dated August Id, 1918, and, emitting
the printed form with which you are
all familiar, and to which l sincere
ly subscribed, I wrote in my own
hand, as follows:
"'The campaign for my nomina-
ton for United States senator has
been voluntarily conducted by my
friends in Michigan. l have taken
no part in it whatever, and no con-
tributions or expenditures have
been made with my knowledge or
consent
"The second, dated August %,
1918 l wrote with my own hand as
follows, under the head of 'Contribu-
tions:' None with my knowledge
and consent And under the head
of 'iDsbursements;' None with my
knowledge and consent. l have read
a general public statement of Paul
H. King concerning expenditures
made by voluntary committee of
my friends, but these were made
without my knowledge or consent
CAS- every senator knows, the
printed form refers only to cam
paign expenditures, disbursements
and promises, and to nothing else.
II had not the slightest intention
of misleading anyone in making this
statement, nor do l believe any fair
minded man was in the least deceiv-
ed thereby.
How He DOdged.
"The form of report furnished by
the senate under the act of congress
then supposed to be in force (but
which has since been declared to be
void) called for full, correct and
itemized statement under oath, of
all campaign contributions, names of
contributors, all expenditures and
the purposes for which the expendi-
lures were made.

to make such verified report. Had
my affidavit so stated this fact, all
criticism would have been avoided.

was made in, without consultation
with anyone, and it was literally
true. l had taken no active part
part in the campaign. l had not
even been in Michigan. l had nei-
Their received, nor expended any
funds, and had no personal knowl-
edge to enable me to make the re-
port called for.

secretary of the senate, / did call
