station. The top Of the tower 10 IS
feet above meanlow tide and the
fash the light gives forth takes the
form Of an upright beam which
appears and fades out very quickly.
Like Auto Signal
To the approaching flyer the
light is reminiscent Of the auto
matte traffic signals at intersec-
tions of busy streets in many
American cities. Like the traffic
beacon Of this sort the aerial light
house is automatic in its operation
The signal lights itself at sundown
and extinguishes itself with the
coming of dawn.
The mechanism governing the
flashes is delicately adjusted sc
that all flashes are of the same
duration and the dark period the
same. This is the plan used at all
coastal light stations, and wher
new lights are placed in position
by changing the duration of the
flashes they will be given an indi.
viduality which will make it pos.
sible for the aviator. by timing
them, to know exactly what sta
tion is in sight. 1t was pointed ou
today that the lights also will ai(
marine traffic as the tower by da!
will serve as a marker and tht
light at night as a signal to th'
men on the navigating bridge o
vessels.
The new tower is visible to ship
ping at all parts of Hampton
Roads and the lower Chesapeake
within radius of 20 miles. 1t il
estimated that the tests will b.
completed within a week.

Think Miners
ARE ALL DEAD
Eager Recruits Offer Themselves
for Service in Order to Rescue
Trapped Men.

Jackson, Calf, Aug. 30.-From
all over the Mother Lode country,
even from Nevada, have come min
ers eager to do their part in carry
ing succor to A men trapped in
the Argonaut mine. No call ever
is needed to recruit men from stope
and tunnel for a mission of mercy
under ground. They come unasked.
Few are here today who have
any great hope that any Of the AZ
imprisoned below the fire in the
Argonaut shaft, are still alive, but
while even a flicker Of hope re-
mains, miners by the score are
ready to risk their own lives IN
what seems a vain effort to relieve
their fellows in distress.

Marion, ILL.,, Aug. 30.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Marion, with
its quaint old courthouse, topo-
graphically in the center of Will
Hanson county, noted for the Her
rim massacre" near the Lester
strip coal mine on June %, last, to-
day formed the focus screen on
which were cast from all parts of
the country eyes of myriads of per-
sons watching the progress of the
special grand jury that entered on
the third day Of the investigation of
the mine war that resulted in 22
fata.:.ias
With apparently little interest
offered from the townspeople, the
grand Jurors today continued in the
sweltering little court room their
work which is expected, by county
officials, to result in the first step
towards bringing to trial those who
are responsible for the attack on
the strip mine, the surrender, the
death march andz1nsak 1aonsbstAieil
took 19 lives.
Witnesses who are believed to
have knowledge Of the preparations
for the battle, and others who are
believed to be able to furnish added
details, have been ordered before
the jury. but what weight their tes-
timony will have in bringing about
any indictments reypain to be seen
Findlay's Tale.
A. p. Findlay, timekeeper at the
paine, who marched second after
The employees had been put in line
by their captors, yesterday spent
considerable tilce in the grand jury
room. Though his testimony will
remain secret, it is believed he re.
peated what he told on previous oc.
casions. He was guarded the en-.
tire time he spent in Marion.
Findlay had previously told hi
saved his own life by feignins
death while he lay wounded, his hail
entangled in barbed wire on the
battle-ground, while the Cleanup
squad" swept over the field.
An interesting phase Of the in
Quiry was offered yesterday by {
witness who was said to have de
clined to answer questions. He wa.
to be recalled today, having beer
given a chance to reconsider his re
fusal before action is taken by tn,
court. The name of the witness
was withheld.
Another diversion from the mon
otony of the routine work of tn,
grand jury was furnished by re
port coming from authentic sources
that the testimony Of several wit
nesses had proven disappointing t
officials.- This, however, was no
construed by court attaches as I
ihindrance to the ultimate OUTCOME
! of the investigation.
Reports emanating from the de
partment of justice at Washington
that complete investigation wa
expected to be made, have spurre,
state officials to more exhaustive ct
forts to bring to trial all connecte'
with the massacre.

While in the army Olson was
nearly lost a leg, and was
shell-shocked. He was brought
back to Canada and for two years
he was a patient at Psycnopatic
hospitals. Foreclosure had been
made on his homestead while he
was in the army and he lost every

A brother-in-law at Kasota,
Mimi, brought him back to this
country. At Port Huron he was
debarred from entrance owing to
his shell-shocked condition and
later he had similar experience
at Winnipeg. In June he was
smuggled over the boundary, Rem

thorities were notified and he was
arrested and examined for deport-
alton. Doctors making an examin-
alton held that his shell-shccked
condition made him an undesirable
resident.
He protested, but immigration Of

law, which states that insofar as a
citizen goes to another country and

able to return to the land he left
if he becomes liable as an undesir.
