BUSY
W|THL|NEUP FOR
CO. BOARD VACANCY

Today being County day." and ono
on which politicians from every sec
ton foregather about the Court
House, the chief topic of discussion
was the vacancy in the Board of
County Commissioners caused by the
death of ST. George Barber, who was
president of the Board. Under the
law this vacancy is filled by appoint
ment by the Governor for the unex-
pired term, and the question of Sc
lecting the president of the Board is a
matter determined by its members.
Both the Organization" ana the
Progressive" factions of the Demo-
cratic party are expected to make
recommendations to the Governor.
and each urge the selection of one of
its own members. 1t also seems to
be generally taken for granted that
the appointment will be made from
the Second district, which was the
enc from which Mr.. Barber was
elected.
Among the prospective candidates
mentioned for the Organization" are
Walter II. Myers, Carroll Worthing-
ton. Cornelius Jarboe and c. Milton
ouvall; while among the Progress
sives" the names mentioned include
those of Mrs. st. George Barber.
widow OF the late president of the
Board; c. Addison Hodges. who also
has strong supporters in the "Organi-
sation" ranks. and John w. Sherbert.
of the Eighth district. No indication
has been given as to just when the
appointment will be made.

.ARNOLDS A. c. TO HOLD
. DRAWING FOR IMMENSE
EAGLE CAPTURED HERE

With a real, live gray eagle, said to
measure six feet. six inches from tip
to tip, as the main prize to be drawn
for at the athletic carnival to be held
Saturday afternoon at Arnolds for
benefit of the Arnolds Athletic Club,
much added interest has been aroused
in the forthcoming event.
This particular eagle which species
is rather uncommon in this section, is
said to have been captured last Satur-
day afternoon on the Severn river
near the Baugh estate. c. W. Diller,
overseer of "Uchllyn Farm" owned
by Mrs. Edwin p. Baugh, was the
original possessor of the large Ameri-
can bird and he generously turned it
over to the management of the Arm
olds Club for Saturdays drawing.
According to Clifton Borneman, of
Arnolds, who now has the eagle all
dolled up and ready for the prospec-
tive change in ownership, the eagle
was seen flying over the Baugh estate
Saturday. and when shot at the bird
although not struck by the load from
the gun, dropped into the water
where he was picked up unhurt 1t is
believed that the eagle. scared by the
report of the gun. sought refuge in
the water and then was unable to get
out o. it's rnaccustomed liquid
quarters
At any. rate. Mr.. Borneman has the
eagle on exhibition just at present
and he stated today that it was being
fed on chicken, duck and other savory
edibles. So II would seem that the
life of "a eagle" is not such a hard
one. after all. when placed in cap

ALL MINERS HAVE
PER|SHED, BELIEF
But Families And Friends Of AZ
Men In Argonaut Shaft
Hold Hope

JACKSON, CALF, Aug. 29.-Vol-
umes of nauseating gas issuing from
the burning depths of the Argonaut
mine through the Muldoon air shaft
led to the belief today that the men,
now said to number AZ, who were i'm
prisoned in the Argonaut mine at
midnight Sunday night by fire have
all perished. Late yesterday the gas
began pouring out of the Muldoon
shaft and spreading over the land
scape. The heat in the Argonaut shaft
is terrific.
Families and fellow workers of the
miners clung stubbornly to the hope
that their fathers. husbands and bud
dies still lived, although the most op-
timistic hope was that they could be
reached within eighteen hours.
During the night men attempting in
mine "skips" to ride down through the
flaming levels were dragged back to
the surface their faces blackened
They came to gasp eagerly for fresh
air and to tell of the impossibility of
passing the flames below.
The tracks on which the skips run
were warped and distorted with heat
and in some cases the metal was even
melted.
Flames which started yesterday
morning at the 3000-foot level were
said today to have worked up to the
2,400-foot level.
A half mile below the earth's sur
face working frantically to break a
concrete barrier which long has seal
ed the shaft of the Argonaut from the
shaft of neighboring mine, the Ken
nedy, other miners sought to make a
possible channel of escape for their
trapped comrades. 1t was a slim
hope. The trapped men are believed
to be on the 4,500 level, or lower.

HARDING FEELS
!. POWER SHOULD

President Assures Spokesman He
Would Use 1t In Railroad And
Mining Situation Only In
Event Of Grimmest Necessity
Arising, However
LIVING WAGE MOTION
IS DENIED by BOARD

WASHINGTON ID. c., Aug. 20
President Harding still believes that
Congress should grant him immedi-
ately authority to take over railroads
and mining properties, it was said to-
day at the White House, but has as
sured congressional spokesmen tha;
only the grimmest public necessity
should force him ii use the authority
should it be granted him.
II Congress indicates nnwillingness
to enact the legislation necessary. the
President will not press the matter.
declared officials, adding that he does
not believe that there is any present
necessity for action under such a
grant
In the light of facts presented to
today's cabinet meeting the President
was said to believe that the bitumi-
nous coal producing situation had
cleared itself up and that there would
be an anthracite settlement within a
very short time, leaving the railroad
situation and the shopmen's strike as
the only strike problems confronting
the nation.
1t was declared the President had
no doubt but that the representatives
of the Federal government could in
emergency move to control of essen
tial public services without addition
al authority from Congress, but that
for the sake of allaying public ex-
citcment and clearing the atmosphere
he was said to feel that Congress
ought to make the powers definite and
certain by enactment of legislation
giving him control of the situation.
At the same time, while he has in
dicated his desire for such author
ization and further has suggested its
immediate desirability, he is not pro-
posing to press the conclusion against
opposition which has already cropped
up among some OF the leaders in Con.
gress.
