find its way southwark, as it naturally should.
The matter has been discussed in a desultory way at sundry
times for several years, but sound business and the general well
fare of this section seem to say'that it is time for action.
Those who have thought much about the proposition think
that by proper cooperation OF the l%andholders and other inter-

alton could be relieved ii m disastrous over1iows at compare

worst of all, the overflow situation is bound to grow worse.

BURIED IN Mine
Seventy-Fiye Men Are En-
tOmbed as Result of Fire.
Cave-In Later Makes Situation
Hopeless, a Report Says.

Jackson, Cal, Aug. 2S.-Seventy-
five men entombed in the famous
Argonaut gold mine below the. $500
foot level, by fire which broke out in
the main shaft shortly after midnight,
were still in the mine at 1880 o'clock
this morning.
The fire continued burning and ef-
forts were being made to reach the
miners thru the abandoned Muldoon
shaft, which touches the vein where
the men were working.
The Muldoon shaft has been used
as an air feed to the mine in recent
months and the opinion was ex-
pressed by those who visited the scenc
early today that rescue would be
effected thru it within a few hours.
Flames Turned Helpers Back.
The fire was discovered at mid
night. The alarm was sounded. and
rescue parties were sent down into the
mine. They found flames raging
fiercely and were unable to approach
the lower levels.
The tragedy of the situation in
creased when an air pipe burst and
the electric wiring went out of COM
mission, shutting off light and COM
nlunication. The flames are burning
in the 4,400 and 4.50e foot levels.
During the morning hours Supt. H. s.
airline to the 2,700 foot level and
pipes were installed to carry water
down to be used in an effort to extin-
guish the burning timbers. Up to that
time water was carried down into the
mine in skips.
The mine rescue car OF the United
States bureau of mines is expected
early this afternoon. A crew is COM
ing from Berkeley.

A rescue crew headed by Pickard

new PEACE PLAN
World Association to Substitute
League of Nations.
Proposal Is Made to Interna.
tiOnaI Meeting i'm Paris.
tBy the Associated Pressl

Grenoble, France, Aug. 2S.-A new
plan for a world association of
states to bind together the League Of
Nations, the pan-American union and
those governments which are mem
bers of neither, was submitted today
to the institute of the international

Alexandra Alvaress of Chile. The new
association would be super-imposed
upon the present league and PAN
American union and would seek to en-
courage regional and continental
groups rather.
1t is designed to meet the Ameri-
can objections to the League of Ma
tions with the primary purpose of CO.
-ordinating the states of the world
not establishing a super state.
Establish Ldaison Between ALL
The plan creates "a world associa-
tion of states which has as it's mission
to establish liaison between the
League of Nations, the pan-American
union and the states belonging to none
of these groups"
The association" it says. will con-
slider questions of world or continental
interest. It will have as its duties,
notably to watch over the general
interests of humanity, take measures
to eliminate the causes of war, initiate
adequate methods for pacific settle
strengthen bonds of all sorts between
countries, promote universal co-opera-
ton and accomplish gradual codifi-
cation of international law. The as
sociation will act only by means of
Recommendations" All members of
the league and pan-American union
would automatically become members
of the association unless they specifi-
-cally refused.
The final article provides for with
drawa1 at the members option upon

the hope that her son will live, friends
expect President Harding will pardon
