foreground.
'aThe gas coming up through the raise
at the 2,4O0-foot level has been COM
paratively clear and free from smoke
during the greater part of the time.
On two occasions since September z,
a considerable volume of steam was
noted. indicating that water is pene-
trating parts of the fire zone.
by making certain assumptions IN
regard to the composition of gas COM
ing from the fire zone it is possible
roughly to estimate the volume of gas
and also the volume of relatively pure
air which is mingling with it in the
lower levels. Examination of this data
indicates. that the volume of gas coming
from the fire zone does not make up
more than one-half of the total volume
coming up the raise. In other words,
/ 800 cubic feet or more of relatively
pure air are probably entering the
lower levels of the mine through the
old workings, and it may be that this
air supply is keeping the men alive,
There is no reason for thinking that
the movements of the air in the lower
levels of the mine have changed ma
t~erially since the early status OF the
fire.

Millions in Losses
AS Result of Fire at
New Orleans Docks

New Orleans, La. Sept. 49,
Five blocks of docks along the
river front from Kentucky avenue
to Bartholomew street we're de-
stroyed by a fire Friday night
which broke out In a carload Of
baggIng alongside the docks.
Twenty-one box cars of burIaps,
four carloads of cotton bagging
and 1000 rolls of print paper
consigned to the New Orleans
Item and States, together with
a quantity of cotton, oil, sisai
and other merchandise were con-
sumed.
The burned wharves we're under
control of the state dock board.
Every available fire engine In
the city, assisted by several river
tugs, were fighting the blaze
which at " o'clock was not un-
der control. The fIremen were
attempting to prevent the blaze
spreading to the warehouses
which line the water front.
No accurate estimate of the
loss could be learned at this
hour, but ii was believed that
it would be several million dol
lars

MINERS LIVE,
SAYS OFFICER;
SPEED RESCUE
Increasing Amount of
Oxygen in Argonaut,
Engineer Declares.
Make Slow Pro
gress as More OBJ
stacles Are Found.

Jackson, Cal, Sept. 15.-(By the
Associated Press.)-For the first time
since the rescue workers have been
trying to break through to the Argo-
naut mine to release At trapped min
ers, blasting was necessary en- the
3,6OO-foot level of the Kennedy mine
Thursday night, according to a state
ment made by Fred l.. Lowell safety
engineer of the California Industrial
Accident commission, which is in
charge of the rescue operations.
Unofficial figures issued Friday
show that % feet still remain to go
IN the 3,6O0-foot level before the II
foot rock barrier is removed. How
ever, Lowell states that the 1900
foot drift has squeezed together to
such IN extent that rock has been
forced into the passage, while old tim
bering and even the old iron rails of
the abandoned tunnel also are ham
pering progress,
On the 3,900-foot level, according to
unofficial figures, rs feet remain to
go with five feet drilled but not blast
ed. After this a 15-foot winze will
have to be sunk to connect with the
4,600-foot level of the Argonaut mine.
Extremely heavy ground is now be-
ing encountered in the 3,900-foot level.
Lowell stated, and work has been
slowed up materially.
Are Below Fire Zone
DIR. l.. H. Duschak, chemical en-
gineer of the California Industrial Ac-
cident commission, Friday issued a
signed statement in which he predict
ed that the Al miners entombed for
Is days in the Argonaut mine would
be found alive. There is ground for
assuming that the men under ground
were not overcome by the poisonous
gases from the fire zone and that these
gases are not now passing through the
parts of the mine in which the men
sought refuge" DIR. Duschak's state
ment said.
"Since the memorandum of Septem-
Der T." he continued. particular atten-
ton has been given to the sampling of
gas coming up from the mine through
the raise at the 2,4O0-foot level. Sam
Piles taken at this point are undiluted
by the surface air and represent a
mixture of gas from the fire zone and
air from various underground sources
which mingle at the lower levels and
come up through the series of raises
to the 2,40O-foot level. Since Septem-
Der Z there has been a gradual dimli-
mutton in the amount of carbon dioxide
and carbon monoxide in this gas and
an increase in oxygen.
This gas is still highly poisonous
and the presence of the carbon monox
ide and carbon dioxide in the quantity
shown would prove fatal within a short
time.
Fire Burns Slower.
calculations from the above analy-
sis indicate that about IL pounds of
wood per minute is being consumed in
the fire. Ten days ago the quantity
was approximately 20 pounds. The gas
analysis, therefore, shows there has
been a slight diminutiton in the fire,
but there is nevertheless a consider
able amount Of smoldering timber I'M

MURDERERA AND
GOES TO PRAY
Sheriff Robb, Ordained
! Minister, Fulfills Duty
as an Officer.
Received Thousands OF
Letters Begging Him
Not to Spring Trap.

Fort Madison. Ia. Sept. 15.-Eugene
Weeks was hanged here at II O'Clock
noon Friday for the murder of George
Fosdick. Des Moines grocer, when
Sheriff w. E. Robb of Polk county,
an ordained minister, as well as an
officer Of the law, sprung the trap
which sent the convicted man to MS
death.
Sheriff Robb was one of the first to
leave the enclosure following the hang
ing. He went away by himself to pray.
AT $50 A. In. Weeks was led from
his cell in murderer row ana taken
TO the little barred room above the
turnkev's office to spend his last hours
with Amelia Weeks. his wife. He lett
his cell. turned to Orrie Gross, who IS
sentenced to hang on October y for
the same crime and said:
Partner is Silent
80 long. Cross.
Cross did not reply.
Mrs. Weeks cried and screamed as
her. husband was led away. She had
requested Warden Hollowell to permit
her to accompany her husband to the
gallows. Her request was refused.
A breakfast of bacon and eggs, oat,
meal. bread. butter and coffee started
the day for Weeks. One might as
well die with a full stomach as an
empty one, Weeks remarked to the
guard.
In an interview late Thursday night
with Robb and Des Moines newspaper
men, Weeks declared that he is inno-
cent of the murder of Fosdick. You
can hang me. / don't mind; but you
will find out some day that you bumped
off the wrong man." he said.
Weeks joked with his interviewers
Church Members Stirred
Sheriff Robb received letters urging
him not to go through with the hanging
of Weeks. He received hundreds OF
letters from church members in all
parts of the country imploring him not
to act as hangman.
Some of these letters were from
religious fanatics who tried to scare
me. saying I would burn everlastingly
in hell" the sheriff-preacher said
Others were from thoughtful people
who discussed the idea of capital pun,
ishment." He has received letters
threateing him with death if he pulled
the trap on Weeks.
The Polk county sheriff spent the
night at Warden T. P. Hollowelfs
home, adjacent to the prison. Il tool

sheriff, and ] will not evade my duty
today the sheriff stated.
1t probably was the first time in tht
history of legal executions that an or
dained minister has acted as the ex'
ecutioner.

r ARE RESTLESS.

Smyrna, Sept. 15.-Tbe Turkish
troops are making strenuous efforts TO
prevent a wholesale footing by irregu-
lars.
General Noureddin Pasha, com
mander-i in chief of the Kemalist forces
here, Thursday urged officials of the
American commission of relief in the
near east to arrange for the evacua-
ton of as many of the Greeks as
possible, as he feared their return to
the interior would mean certain death
in reprisaI for the alleged malicious de-
struction of Anatolian villages by the
Greek troops.
The Turkish commander fears out
breaks among their own troops, who
are without food. Several regiments
posted on the outskirts of the city
have subsisted on u%ncoeked barley for
the last five days.

One story is that the nationalist
commander has sent an ultimatum to
the allied powers demanding the evac-
