Newberry Seated by scant Margin.

NeWberry Seated by Scant Margin.
Washington. Truman H. New.
berry was declared by the senate
to be entitled to the seat which he now
holds, and which was made the basis
Of contest by Henry Ford, his Demo
cratic opponent in the 1918 Michigan
senatorial election. The vote was &c
to Al.
The senate acted on a resolution
sponsored by Republican leaders, as
serting that Newberry was entitled to
his seat, but amended in last-minute
conferences so as to condemn excess
expenditure Of funds in senatorial
campaigns.
All Of Newberry's supporters were
Republicans. The almost solid Demo.
cratic membership was joined by nine
Republicans In opposition. These We're
Borah, Capper, Jones, Of Washington
kenyon, Ladd, Lafolsette, Norbeck
Norris and Sutherland.
The senate's final vote came upon
the following resolution, amended BY
Senator Spencer, Republican, Missouri
to declare Newberry ENTITLED to his
seat, and substituting the Willis
amendment eor the original clause
which declared the charges against
Newberry were not sustained:
"(D That the contest Of Henry Ford
against Truman II. Newberry be, ana
Ii is hereby dismissed
"(2) That Truman III. Newberry Is
hereby declared to be duly elected
senator from the state of Michigan
for the term Of six years commencing
bn the fourth day of March, 1919, ana
Is entitled to hold his seat in 4the SEN
hte of the United States.
"(3) That whether the amount ex-
pended In this (Michigan) primary
was $4,000, as was fully reported or
openly acknowledged, or whether there
was some few thousand dollars In ex-
cess, the amount expended was, m
either case, too large, much larger
than ought to have been expended.
The expenditure of such excessive
sums in behalf Of candidate, either
with or without his knowledge and
consent, bein.l contrary to sound pub
lie policy, harmful to the honor and
dignity of the senate, and dangerous
to the perpetuity Of free government,
such excessive expenditures are here
by severely condemned and disapprov-
ed"

Scranton, Pa. Four Men are
known to have been killed, several
others are believed to be dead, and
an unknown number Of mine workers
are entombed as the result of cave
in in the National Mine of the Glen
Alden Coal company, in Minooka, just
across the southern boundary line of
the city.
Miners who escaped Said the num-
Der of men believed to be behind the
barrier is about twenty. There was
no confirmation of a report that nearly
fifty men were caught. The company
has given out no information.
No official list of the dead has been
given out. The injured men include
Anthony Kallott, James Dougherty
and John Carney.
The injured were taken to the Moses
Taylor Hospital They are suffering
from general Commissions from having
been tossed about gangway by the
terrific rush Of air
According to a miner who boards
with the mother of Third Baseman Me
Naily, of the New York American
League base ball team, about fifty
men were working in the section
where the mine roof fell In. Some OF
the men, he said, escaped, but he could
give no estimate Of the number caught
behind the barrier. The Glen Alden
company is doing considerable mining
from the surface, and it is hoped many
T'Ur the men unaccounted for escaped
through what the miners call pot
holes. The accident occurred about
200o feet from the slope opening.
President w. w. Inglis of the com.
pany; General Superintendent S. d.
Dimmick and other officials entered
the mine to assist in the work Of res.
cue, and nearly all am5ulances in
Scranton remained on tae scene for
possible service.
So far as can be determined, sur
face area equal to about three city
blocks has been affected by the sub.
sidence. Eight inches of snow covers
the ground and the extent Of assures
on the surface is not known. Most
of the buildings in the affected area
are small frame houses and some OF
these are badly damaged No one on
the surface was injured. Water mains
were broken and part Of the town OF
Minooka is without water service.
Later officials Of the company were
of the opinion the number of men
caught was between six and sixteen.
About 20 acres. are involved in the
cave. Checking up of the number of
men in the mine when the squeeze
occurred and the number that escaped
is being conducted by the company
and by miners.
Martin Bowen, who was in an en-
CINE house in the mine, said he noticed
the roof begin falling and got out Of
the house Just as it was caved in.
Miners were running toward the Open
ing and he passed Michael Kelly, who
had been stunned by a fall of coal.
He is among the missing
Persons living in houses on the sur
face said the subsistence felt like an
earthquake
When the surface in some sections
of the area over the mine showed
signs Of subsistence, every precaution
was taken to protect life The upils
in a large school were ismissed and
the Simpson silk mill was shut down
and the employees dismissed for the
day. There was some damage done
to buildings scattered throughout the
affected area.

PICTURES STOLEN
FROM THEATRE
Manager Garner of Casino Theatre
Offers Reward for Their
Return

"BuckshOt" Garner, manager OF the
Casino theatre and premier pitcher OF
the Kwanis baseball club, is all het
up this morning. Not over today's
ball game either-for he's confident
of being the victor in that affair.
But there's another little matter about
which our good friend "Buckshot" is
not so sure.
Being in strict training for today's
diamond fray. Garner left his usual
post at the teatre rather earlier last
night than usual; and in his hurry
to keep training rules he forgot to
tako inside the handsome Reming-
ton paintings which have been in front
of his theatre the past two days ad-
vertising the show "Out of the Dust.
AS a result this morning the four
valuable paintings had disappeared.
To say the least, the thief or thieves
had an eye for art; and should be
given credit for at least displaying
good taste. Be that as it may, Mana
ger Garner is bewailing his loss and
has offered a substantial reward for
the return of these paintings and guar
antees that mo questions will be ask
ed"
Mr.. Garner states that regardless
of the loss of these four paintings, he
will keep good his promise to give
away a large number of beautiful Rem
ington reproductions today and tomor
row to the Casino patrons.
