svho for the last forty years gravitated
between the lower East Side and Sing
Sing, was petty thief. and hard
luck one, too. Year after year he faced
the Judges, his tall figure STOPPING
just a bit more, age cross s-hatching a
few more lines into his wizened face
and his clothes just a bit more mussed
ard dirty. He knew more about the
inter-ceN communication at Sing Sing
than he did how to write his name.
Each time his nustache was frosted
Just q bit whittier.
Sometimes no had quite q biz of
money, but most of the time he didn't.
Easy come and essy 60 was his motto.
A short time ago Big Ben was sew
enty-eighs years old. Winter WAS COM
Ing on: pickings were not so easy as
Ehey had been and there was always
that chance that some younger victim
would bash hts head liz. he couldn't
run 50 fast ae in the old days either.

READING, Pa, Nov. 12.-By
unanimous vote and without de-
bate, the Berks County Christian
Endeavor Union, in annual con-
veaeion last night adopted reso-
iutions asking the City Council
to remove the statue erected in
1880 in City Park, near the EN-
trance TO the Berks County
Prison, III honor of Frederick
Lauer, who died in 1883. 1t was
erected by the United States

Lauer was president. The Chris
tian Endeavor convention took
the view that the statue, in view
Of prohibition times, has no right
TO remain in the park. City
Councilnnen refused to-day to
talk about the resolutions until
they have mad conference.
Lauer was one of the leading
business men here for many
years. He vas perhaps the lead
ing brewer in the country in his
day. Born in 1910 in Germany,

teen ysars old and for many
years was active IN business and

SOUTH AMERICA SEEMS
GREATLY INTERESTED
Movement for Port Either at
Brunswick or Savannah is
Given Stdong Boosting by
This Well Known Educator.

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. Movement
for state-owned port either at
Brunswick or Savannah, was given
another boost here today when DR..
Andrew M. Soule, president of the
State College of Agriculture, issued
an interview on his recent trip to Rio
de Janeiro, where he attended the
second conference of Economic Ex-
pansion and Commercial Education.
'South American countries are tre-
mendously interested in promoting
international trade between North an
South American countries, declared
DR.. Soule, who was elected first vice
president of the conference.
'"The efforts of the conference be-
tween delegates from these countries
We're devoted toward the promotion
of good fellowship and solidarity of
friendship between the Americas" he
pointed out.
Fourteen American countries We're
represented by 100 of the leading
savants in the nations. DR.. Soule and
DR.. Emory Johnson of the University
of Pennsylvania represented the Unit
ed States.
The main object of the conference
was to promote good fellowship, from
better acquaintancesh;p between the
American countries and establish a
more extensive international trade,
DR. Souie said
A survey of the resources, regula-
tions governing ingress an egress,
manufacturers, population and gen.
eral statistics of all the countries
represented will be made and placeS
at the disposal of those interested in
the promotion of trade between NortA
and South America.
Establishment of steamship lines
to facilitate communication between
the south and the countries in South
|, America will be promoted in the fu-
ture. When it is understood thai
there is no first-class passenger SER
vice from Charleston, Brunswick
Savannah, Jacksonville or Mobile to
South American ports, and persons
going to any port in South America
has to go by New York, it is realized
that steamship lines from our south
ern states is needed, it declared.
/! The delegates are interested In
opening up railroads throughout the
interior of South American countries
so that the cost of production and
! marketing of produce will be lessen
ed. The conference is in favor OF
the exchange of instructors from the
various institutions of North and
South America so that students in
this way may be acquainted with the
resources and undeveloped potential
tiles of each country, said DR.. Soule.

Following rescue work which
continued throughout the night,
officials of the Woodward Iron
Company, owners of Dolomite
Mine No. 3, where dust explo-
sion trapped 474 miners yester-
day afternoon, announced today
that "a bodies had been taken

death toll of the dust explosion last
night in Dolonaite mine, number 3,
of the Woodward Iron Company.
81 Eighty-two bodies were taken from
the mine early today, of the sixty-two
injured two succumbed. Officials of
the company indicated that while sew
eral of those remaining in hospitals
were seriously hurt, the possibility is
that all will recover.
Eleven white bodies and sixty-foul
Negroes were at one Bessemer un-
dertaking establishment at the same
time and while ascorpse was prepar-
ing for burial, hundreds gathered
about the streets in the vicinity of
the morgue. Near the mine hun
dreds assembled early this morning
and in frenzied inapatience awaited
news from loved ones. It was a sight
that has never been witnessed be-
fore in q southern mime disaster and
one that will never be forgotten by
on1ookers and of course, by those di-
rectly interested.
The explosion, it is declared by ex-
perts, to have been, freak and the
third of it's Kind in this country. II
was caused by the swapping of an
electric cable, which in turn Set off
the dust which resulted in the explo-
sion. The concussion rocked the
earth for miles around and occurred
SO nearly simultaneously with the ac-
cident which produced IT., that the
victims were not aware what was
happening.
As the first streaks OF dawn swept
the eastern sky, weary watchers
about the pit appeared to renew hope
that missing loved ones might be
found despite announcement that al
live persons had been found.
Joy occasionally rewarded wonlen
and children by workers turning UP
from out of the night, following theil
escape from two other exits. These
other exits were miles from the main
entrance ard this caused families to
be separated from those rescued foi
several hourssin some instances.
Company officials announced that
pit and check was made to deter
