ISSUE CALL
THIS week
House Announces
Action Will Be Taken
Thursday or Friday

Washington, Nov. T. President
Harding expects to issue a call
Thursday or Friday for a special
session OF congress, convening Nov.
20, it was announced today at the
White house.
1t was said that although the
president was not irrevocably COM
mitted to the proposal for the spe-
cial session which has generally
been expected by congressional
leaders, only an 11th-hour change
Of mind would prevent him from
issuing the call.
1t is understood the president
feels that by meeting at least two
weeks in advance of the regula,
session, the legislative program
can be SO advanced as to enable
congress to clean up its slate By
the time the regular session ends
next March 4.
Program Not Arranged.
Although the program for the
special session has not been work
ed out, it briefly provides for con
sideration by the house Of the mer
chant marine bill and work by thu
senate on the Dyer. anti-lynchini
measure, which has already passed
| the house.
Administrative leaders hope thes'
two measures can be disposed o
by the time the regular session
convenes, and house leaders hav'
assured the president that by th'
time committee work on a numbel
of The regular approximation bill.
! will have been finished.

Chicago, Nov. Violence in
connection with the election broke
out early today in Chicago when J.
H. Clancy, a Republican precinct
worker in the 18th ward, a west
side river ward, was fired on as he
was leaving his home. None of the
shots took effect and the attackers
escaped in a motor car from which
three men fired several shots.
Bitterness has marked the cam
paign for Cook county offices in
which the Republican factio1alism
religion and even, to a small ex-
tent, the Ku Klux' Klan have been
injected as issues. While the entire
Republican county ticket has been
endorsed by Mayor Thompson and
Attorney General Edward ]. Brun-
dage, bitter political enemies, be-
meath the surface, factionalism has
been reported to have continued
its strife.
Drys Ignore Referendum.
The political skirmishing also
has been severe in connection with
the legislative contests and the Re.
publican factions controlled BY
Mayor Thompson and Governor
Small are battling for control of the

terendum has aroused some feeling
although generally the prohibition

Pennsy Disaster.

Spangler, Pa, Now 7.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Thirteen addi-
tional bodies were taken from the
mine of the Reilly Coal company
here, bringing the total dead recov-
cred to b3. All are in the tenn
porary morgue. Thir.een more bod
les were in the mine, rescuers said,
ard 32 injured were in the miners
hospital. An explosion yesterday
entombed the men.
Mine rescue experts said they
had explored all but two of the
headings and did not expect to find
any more bodies.
Coroner SchWab of Johnstown.
Pa, shortly after noon began ar
rargelrents for holding the inquest.
Volunteers have been obtained to
dig the graves of the victims, most
of whom will be buried in two
Catholic cemeteries here. A car
load of coffi9s arrived in Spangler
this morning.
Spangler, Pa, Nov. 7.-(By the
Associated Press. )-The bodies of
so miners who lost their lives in
the Reilly mine explosion here
yesterday lay in the city morgue at
o'clock this morning. Thirteen
more were in sight in the mine, res
cue workers said. and 80 injured
were in the miners hospital.
Leaders of rescuers summarized
the situation at that hour: .----.
Men in miIie when explosion
occurred not more than 112. Bodies
recovered, SO.
Bodies located in mine, 13.
| Injured in hospital. 80.
Total accounted for, S5."
! Exact Number Uncertain.
) There still was some uncertainty
as to the number Of men who went
to work yesterday but it was pointed
out that if the total was 112 as some
authorities believed. the missing Ii
miners would probably be found in
the eighth heading, where the water
had risen so rapidly that explora-
ton this morning had been impos-
sible. Even if these men had gone
into the mine, it was asserted, they
had probably perished.
If that proved true, the leaders
said, the number of dead would
reach so.
Efforts were being made to repair
1.-THE pumps, damaged by the ex-
! plosion. while workers were cutting
a passageway through the coal be-
tween the eighth and ninth head
ings. With this work complete
they hoped to reach the last of the
unexplored galleries by noon today

The grim task OF removing the
dead started about 2 O'Clock this
morning after widows and children
of the missing men had been in

in the misty rain all through yes

the mine would be cleared of bodies
today.

STOVE BLOW
TEARS A LEG
FROM CHILD
Parents Injured and Home
Nearly Wrecked by a
Steam Explosion.

Explosion of a laundry
stove MANNED Ruth Shawgo,
aged IS, causing the loss of
her left leg, and inflicted
less serious injuries to both
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Shawgo, last evening
at 6:45 o'clock in their home
at 500 Forty-second street.
The blast came when the stove
had been in use while, with
hre kindled in it to heat water
and to furnish heat for the kitchen
as well. Coils through which the
water to be heated flows, inside the
hrebox of the stove. evidently had
become clogged SO that steam was
formed inside them and was afford
ed no outlet. With powerful de-
tonation the stove exploded, shat
tering into fragments which
hurtled like shrapnel to all parts
Of the room and through the win
dows and door which we're burst
outward by the conclusion.
All three, who had been in the
room talking and happy, were
stunned. Neighbors, who rushed
out Of doors 81 the report and saw
the effects Of the explosion in the
steam pouring from the Shawgo
house through burst windows and
doors, called the police station.
Detectives Earl Shannon and Den
mis- Bennett we're sent, and DR.. Paul
and the Knox ambulance went on

Examining the three victims on
the way to St. Anthony's hospital
and in the ward shortly afterward,
Dr.. Paul found that their injuries

below knee, other bruises and mi
nor cuts about body and head.
Mrs. ShawgO. bad scalp wound.
Mr.. Shawgo. cut on right arm.
The child's leg was amputated a
few minutes after arrival at the
hospital. as the member was man
sled beyond possibility of healing.
When she emerged from the anaes-
thetic. the child had no realization
Of what had happened. She was
In dazed condition, calling for
her mother. who lay with her head
swathed in bandages in nearby
bed, and the child apparently had
no knowledge of how she had re-
ceived the intense shock from
which she was suffering. Mr..
Shawgo was not seriously hurt,
and was able to leave the hospital
after his injury was dressed, re-
turning, however, short time
later.
Tremendous Blast.
1t seemed impossible that such
Tremendous force as was exerted
BY the explosion could be genera
ted in the small stove. The kitch-
en- was wrecked, the concussiOn
tearing the windows and frames
and the doors out, and the flying
pieces Of metal smashing every
ming they struck.
An example Of the force OF the
explosion was seen in the imbed-
ding Of half-foot square Of the
0ove casing iron into a piece Of
woodwork in the kitchen. The
piece Of metal struck the wood f1at-
nded and its whole surface sanl
INTO the wood about quarter Of

Rock Island county voters were
headed toward an "off-year" rec
ord vote, according to election
judges at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
Ballots were being cast as rap
idly and the list of voters growing
as rapidly as in a presidential year
as the afternoon began and clerks
and judges prepared for the final
3-hour rush. The condition pre-
vailed in both Rock Island and Mo-
line, while early reports from the
country precincts indicated that the
battle for county offices was being
waged as keenly there as in the
city.
Rock Island was expected to poll
more than 5000 votes. Scarcely
precinct at 1:30 had failed TO snow
200 voters, many of them reached
$50 and the 11th precinct reported
over 300.
Moline was polling a vote equally
as heavy. In Hampton and South
Moline townships-the East Moline,
Silvis and Watertown precincts
there was an increasing line of
voters. Ideal fall weather brought
out a heavy vote in the country and
gave the city poll workers every
opportunity to get out the negli-
gent voter.
