INGENIOUS DEVICE CONVERTS PHONE .:@
INTO WIRELESS RECEIVING STATION

Everett, Wash, Aug. 29.-Tele-
phones in Everett, already equipped
with a device which measures con-
versation, are to be made into wire
less receiving stations through the
use of an attachment supplied by the
PRget Sound Telephone Co., an inde-
pendent corporation which serves the
city.
To hear concerts, news bulletins
and other features thrown onto the
air by broadcasting stations of Be-
attle, thirty miles from here, Everett
radio fans, who also are telephone
subscribers, will simply hook their
radio receiving sets onto the attach
ment, which is known as the radio
adapter, and which will fit into the
telephone bell box. Expensive aerials
and wiring will not be needed.
In addition to supplying the adapt
er, the telephone company, working
with the Seattle Radio Association,
will mail to its radio subscribers
weekly programs of the broadcastihg
stations and will collect $500 year
from each fan to defray the cost. The
Seattle association hopes to have tel
ephones in all other cities withip a
radius of 100 miles equipped with the
adapter
The conversation-measuring device,
which, it is said, is not used any
where else in the world. has been op-
Grated here for eight months, and en-
ables the company to charge for the
telephone service according to the
length of the conversations.
When many residents found that
the device, called the telechrometer
increased their monthly bills, they
protested to the state department of
public works, which is to hold a
hearing September to decide wheth-
er the affair must be abandoned. In
the meantime 629 Everett residents
have signed applications for new tel
ephones to be installed if the machine
is given up.
Friends of the telechrometer say
that some of the opposition was
caused by the fact that it made
"listening-in' on party lines cost
Just SO much for every minute the
telephone receiver is off the hook.

ALL MINERS IN
ARCONAUT SHAFT
PROBABLY DEAD
Deadly Fumes Pouring
Up From Lower Levels
Make 1t Almost Certain
None Can Now Be
Alive

California, Aug 29.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Volumes of nauseat-
ing gas issuing from the burning
depths of the Argonaut mine led to
the belief this afternoon that the men
now said to number AZ, imprisoned in
the mine at midnight Sunday night by
fire, have all perished. The Argonaut
is one of the most widely known gold
mines in the country.
Anxious Waiting
Jackson, Calf, Aug. 29.-(By the
Associated Press)-Held by the grim
grip of despair as hour follows hour
in their vigil, families and fellow
workers of the forty-eight gold miners
imprisoned since midnight Sunday
nearly a mile below the earth's sur
face in the Aronaut mine. today chung
stubbonly to the shred of hope that
their husbands, fathers and buddies
still live, although the most optimistic
hope was to reach the men within is
hours.
Dawn today found that tense group
still waiting. From the mouth of the
pit from which these men have helped
to take fortunes in gold at an average
of a million dollars a year, came no
token of hope. From 1t came no sign
of the hell of flame and smoke and
poisoned air that ragged between the
imprisoned miners on the levels be-
low 1000 feet and the workers who
vainly struggled to reach them.
During the night men attempting
in mine "skips" to ride down through
the flaming level were dragged back
to the surface, their faces blackened.
They came to gasp eagerly for fresh
air and to tell of the hopelessness of
the trip below. The tracks on which
the skips run were wrapped and dis
ttorted with the heat, in some places
even melted away. The flames which
started yesterday morning at the 5000
foot level, today had worked up, above
the 2,4O0 foot level. Half a mile
below the earth's surface, working
frantically with drills and picks to
break through a concrete barrier
which long has sealed the shaft of the
Argonaut from the shaft of a neigh
boring mine, the Kennedy, other min.
ers sought to make possible channel
of escape for their trapped comrades
1t was slim hope. One miner at
the mouth of the pit, his face showing
pale beneath the pallor of years under
ground, spoke with the knowledge OF
a worker from the mine drifts when
| he said:
"The boys can't get through that
wall in month"
Superintendent Virilio Gabarini said
everything humanity possible was be-
! ing done towards the rescue of the
entombed men. He said that work
ers expected to establish communities
tlon with the miners, If any still are
alive, within IS hours. Until their
bodies are brought out, the hope thai
{, some of the 4S still live, will endure.
