DEATH MERCIFUL, COMING TO THE AT. ENTOMBED MINERS IN THREE HOURS;
 VICTIMS LOSE LIFE BATTLE WITH GAS

Jackson, Cal, Sept 19-(By the A. P)-Jackson, mining town in the Mother Lode country, has paid the toll demanded of those who delve in the earth for gold and stands unafra1d, but not dry-eyed today
 rF'orty-seven of her men died in the Argonaut mine early on the morn1ns of August 2S, she learned last night, their bodies from the rock tunnel. walled in with f1imsy bulkheads of their own building that has been their tomb for three weeks
 But Jackson if unafra1d, Tor her men showed they knew how to die, moreover, those who did not meet that fate showed they knew how to live, for they gave of themselves with out stint in the effort to save their en- tornbed fellows.
 CaIifornia's Worst Mine Disaster.
 It was California's worst mine dis aster, in one of California's greateA gold producers, and it was the hardest blow Jackson ever has had to suffer.
 Three weeks ago last Sunday night men deep in the Argonaut believed they smelled something. A shift boss took two men and went to investigate. They found the shaft afire at the 300 foot level. chanced death from gas and were carried through the fire to the top of the mine. Then began the work of fire fighting which presently merged into one of rescue for the men below, for the fire block the shaft and prevented the escape of the miners. Men came from all over the west to offer their services, the curious fel- lowship of miners bringing hearty off, fers of service from all who could get to Jackson. Mining companies in dis tant states, even in Mexico, telegra ph- ed proffers of assistance. The Ken nedy Mining company, operators of an adjoining shaft, sunk the bitter ness of a law suit in it's willingness to be of service and loaned all it's prop and facilities the work 0f cue.
 Rescuers Enter Trap.
 Sweating shoulders and unbreak- able will drove steel picks at the rock until this hole had been enlarged enough to permit a man to pass. Five men made a hasty and unauthorized exploration of part of the Argonaut, seeking survivors at the imminent risk of their own lives. The opening was enlarged so that a rescue crew could pass, and all day explorations went on without any result.
 The levels were clear, there was no sign of any miner left in them, either dead or alive. The rescue men, hamp- cred by their oxygen helmets and the heat of the underground workings, ! turned their attention to exploring tih e cross cuts and drifts leading from the tunnels already traversed. In one they found a bu1khead that had not been there when the miners went be- low into that fatal mine three weeks ago.
 Hope rose anew at this evidence that some at least of the entombed men had not died an instant death from the gases thrown off by the fire in the shaft, and the rescuers pressed on They found another bulkhead not built of blanks and timbers and stuffed with torn clothing like the first but erected of earth rock and debris It was pitiful structure gaping ir places so that the rescuers could see through it, but it checked the air cur rents somewhat and the men in tn

Harding Silent; Soldiers Bonus
 Veto Expected
Continued from Page One.

Continued from Page One.
 A careful poll of the existing situa- ton in the House and Senate by ln-7 ternational News indicated today that the House will override the veto and repass the bill but that the Senate Will sustain the veto-thus effectually kill ing the measure so far as the 67th Congress is concerned.
 May Override Veto.
 With a full membership of the Sem ate present and voting the veto might be overridden but there are approxi- | mately two dozens of Senators absent from Washington and they are nearly all members who are pledged to the bonus. The anti-bonus forces are nearly intact.
 By a peculiar twist of circumstances l it probably will be Democratic votes | that will enable President Harding's | veto to stand. There are eight Demo- crats against the bill and of this num- | Der, seven are present in Washington | and are considered certain to up | hold the veto, thus providing the | necessary margin. These Democrats are Dail, of North Carolina; Glass and | Swanson of Virginia; Shields of Ten | nessee; Underwood of Alabama; Mey- CTS of Montana and Owen of Okla homa.
 ! There will be at least 30 anti-bonus votes present and voting on the floor l when the test comes, it appeared to- day, as compared with about 8 to 50 pro-bonus votes. Senatorial junketing and senatorial campaigning has taken a heavy toll from the pro- bonus ranks.
 Four bonus Senators are in Europe l-Caraway of Arkansas; Harris ot Georgia; Ladd of North Dakota and Spencer of Missouri. others are cam paigning, Johnson of California; Poin- dexter of Washington; Jones of New Mexico; Kendrick of Wyoming; Reed of Missouri, while a number of others are sick or are away on persona business.

STORE BLAZE OF
UNUSUAL ORIGIN
fsnecial Moline Service. J

Fire, caused, it is said, by gaso-
line and oils on the surface of the
water which flooded the basement
of the building coming in contact
with the furnace pit, resulted in
$500 damage to the stock and fix
lures of the P. j. Long drug store
at Ninth street and Fifteenth ave-
nue., East Moline, last evening.
Damage to the building, which
is owned by A. B. Cox, is estimated
at several hundred dollars, and
stock of the B. F. Cox variety store,
next door, suffered to the extent of
$500 on account of smoke.
Due to the excessive rains the
storm drain was overtaxed and the
water backed into the basement of
the drug store. The water rose to a
height of possibly two feet and
when the gas on the surface came
in contact with the fire in the pit
the gas ignited and the surface of
the water became a sheet of flames,
which set fire to wood partitions
and boxes and even leaped to the
ceiling and ate their way through
the floor of the store room.
The fire broke out at 6 o'clock,
during the violent rainstorm, and
the firemen had it under control in
a short time. Had the fire occurred
late at night the entire block, in
GLIDING the postoffice, would have
been seriously menaced-

Chicago, April lit was a mar
row market in wheat today. Prices
dipped early ON selling inspired by
the break in cables and on the sup
posed weakening technical condi-
ton of the market There was
enough commission house buying
of May wheat at s1.32I5 on resting
orders to take the slack out of the
market and later cause rally
when pit shorts tried TO cover crop
news was mixed. There were COM
plants Of excessive moisture,
floods and high winds but other re-
ports were favorable A report
gathered by a crop expert for Kan
| Sas mills estimated the crop OF
that state based on present condi-
tons at 5000, 900 bushels. Mill
ing demand for wheat was slow
and foreign demand is at a stand
still. Sales of 100000 bushels of
wheat were made to go to store,
Corn trade also was light. There
was buying on the setbacks based
on the late spring and delay in
preliminary farm work which may
result in a greatly reduced acre
age. Local sold early but they
covered later The undertone was
rather stubborn. Cash demand
was light and shipping sales were
almost nil. Spot corn at Liver
pool advanced l pence while flu
lures were L II pence lower. Elk
port demand for corn was light.
The continued delay in seeing
of oats because of wet weather is
causing apprehension and the
market for oats is showing this
feeling. There was less pressure
to sell while the buying power was
improved and the market had a
firm tone most of the season.
Shipping demand was slow.
Provisions were easy as the re-
suit of hedging by smaller pack
ers.
A report that Minneapolis was
offering hard winter wheat to Chi
cago caused a late break in wheat.
