Nurse Alleges She
Saw Mrs. E. TEL. Dillon
Abduct Son i'm Park
L. L. Weber, Suing to Get
Child Back, Admits He Mar
ried Only After Breach of
Promise Suit Was Brought

The alleged abduction of l.. Lawrence e
Weber jr. by his mother Mrs. Edith
major Dlllon, an actress, and former
wife of l.. Lawrence Weber, theatrical
manager and producer, was described
before Justice Burr, of the Supreme
Court, yesterday, by Louise Gerlich, the
child's nurse. Mr.. Weber had obtained
divorce from the present Mrs. Dillon,
who was his second wife, and the court
awarded him the custody Of their child.
He has brought habeas corpus pro-
eeedings to get his son back.
81 was the childs nurse" said Miss
Gerlich, "and' was~with him in Central
Park, with James Hughes who had
been employed as guard for the boy
by his father. 1t was about O'Clock
III the afternoon when suddenly two
ladies jumped from behind the bushes,
seized the boy and lifted him into ar
women was Mrs. Dillon. There were
some men in another automobile and
the cars sped away, while Hughes gave
chase, calling for aid 1t all happened
so suddenly that we were taken un-
awares."
Mr.. Webes on the witness stand, ad-
mitted that he and Mrs. Dillon, his
former wife, had not been married
until she brought suit against him for
$3.50 900, alleging breach of promise.
Mrs. Dillon contends that she and
Mr.. Weber reached an agreement under
which she and her former husband
were to divide the custody of their
son, each 20 have him for six months
of the year Former Senator Edgar T
Bracket, counsel for Mr.. Weber,
argued that such an agreement was of
no effect, as the court had appointed
Mr. Weber the guardian. and any
change in the custody Of the child
could be made only by the courts
modifying its order.
The boy, who was taken to the home
of Mrs Dillon, after the kidnapping, is
temporarily in the custody of Justice
1. ]. Marcus, of the Supreme Court, Of
Buffalo, who is stopping at the home
of Nh. Weber at the Idaho Apartments
with the boy, pending the decision OF
the court. Justice Burr adjourned
further hearing on the writ of habeas
corpus until after September 15.
Meanwhile, Justice Burr directed
Mrs. Dillon shall be permitted to see
her child at her home at reasonable
times.

Contract to Stand i'm
Way of Their Marriage

Mr., and Mrs. Jack Pickford arrived
in town yesterday from the Coast, the

Miller of the twinkling toes and

give a thought TO Florence ziegfeld
and her tiff with him some months ago.
All questions touching on this mat
ter were dismissed with wave of the
hand, a smile and a shrug.
"I have other interests now besides
thinking of that" declared Miss Miller
when She was seen in her suite in the
Ambassador Hotel. 81 haven't seen
Mr.. Ziegfeld yet and, as matter Of
fact, don't believe he even knows I
am here. There is nothing to the
tract concerning marriage. And if
there were 1t wouldn't be legal and
he couldn't hold me to it,
She asserted that her contract was
for no definite length of time, but was
for the run of Sally" She had no
idea just how long that would be, but
expressed the opinion that the show,
in all probability, would run another
year. Friend husband at this point
proved himself a good press agent by
SAYING that as far as he could see
Marilynn Miller would be playing
Sally until she has to do her stuff
on crutches.
Asked if she had any thought of
signing up with Mr.. ziegfeld again
after the expiration of her present CON
tract she said: That's hard to tell,
but you must remember that Mr.. Zieg-
field is the greatest manager in this
country and | would be foolish to let
personal feelings interfere with bust
ness"
Both Marilynn and Jack declared
they had given no thought to the idea
of playing in the movies together.
There would be plenty of time for that,
they said, when Marilynn had finished

Long island Trains
Stop Seven Hours:
Many lncomlnoded
Freight Wreck Just West of
Jamaica Station Causes
Tie-Up; Rush-Hour Traf-
fic Driven TO Elevated

The Long Island Railroad system
between Jamaica and the Flatbush h
avenue station in Brooklyn was tied
up for seven hours yesterday and
service to the Pennsylvania Station in
Manhattan crippled for an equal
length of time by freight wreck
which damaged a signal tower and
threw the switches on the tracks that
were not blocked by derailed cars.
The wreck occurred at signal
ton. A thirty -two-car train carrying
the eqipment of the 9Th Field Ar
tillery from Montauk Point was pass
ing the tower when the brake rigging
on the third car dropped.
1t caught in a switch and tore it
up. The train went on to the next
switch with the broken brake rigging
ploughing at the roadbed. There the
rigging iammed in the switch, rails
were torn up and three cars rolled
over.~
The accident happened ct $40 a. m.
AL tAhtho uoco w NColOO0uu tIdluS
out Of Jamaica were affected except
the local track to the Pennsylvania
Station. Until 1870 a. m. that was the
only westbound track in service. At
that hour men were placed at the
various switches to throw them by
hand ard trains began to travel on
other tracks, but with extreme eau
tioil.
Congestion at the Jamaica station
piled up trains coming in from the
east, which had to be switched one
by one to the single track in use.
The trains were about an hour late
on an average.
Three wrecking crews were at work
on the upset freight cars and torn-up
rails and signal wires, but were ham
pered by the fact that the switches
we're not working, and it was not un-
til after 10 o'clock that the tracks
were cleared and normal service re-
sumed
Passengers on trains coming into
Jamaica from the east left the cars
and focked by hundreds to the Lex
ington avenue elevated line afoot,
completing their journey to New York
by that route. Others, bound for
Brooklyn, who happened to be at the
station when a train pulled out on
the local track for the Pennsylvania
Station, took that roundabout way of
reaching their destination.

Cave-In Blocks Rescue Of 48
Trapped in a Burning Mine

! ! 4 vi .
this morning in charge Of Byron O.
Pickard, of the State Bureau of Mines,
reached the scene, but it is now re-
garded as of little value.
Earlier in the day the first horror
was experienced when the air pipe sup
plying oxygen to the trapped men burst,
and as if to increase the despair of
the rescuers the electric wires went
out Of commission, plunging the mine
into darkness. In short time the air
pipe break was repaired and at the
same time the slow process of carry
Ing water down the shaft in skips was
relieved by the installation of a water
pipe as far as the 2,700 foot level.
The Argonaut mine adioins the Ken
nedy mine, ono mile deep, the worlds
deepest. 1t is an incline shaft, while
the Kennedy is a vertical shaft, and
the men go into the depths on bucket
line car travelling on single track and
propelled by a cable. The first tunnel
is at the 800foot level and other tun-
nels are 800 feet apart. From 800 to
325 men have been on the payroll of
the mine and the men trapped were on
the night force.
According TO reports the fire has been
smoldering in the mine for the last
year. About midnight last night it got
peyond control and accumulated gas IN
"a pocket exploded, tearing down the
mine supports and sealing the tunnel
In which the men were working. The

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. %. All eff
forts Of hundreds of rescuers to reach
forty y-eight men trapped by FIRE below
the 1900 foot level of the Argonaut,
one of the deepest gold mines in the
world, at Jackson, Amador County,
have failed Practically all hope Of
reaching them was abandoned tonight
when On attempt to cut through a
hulkhead from an adjoining mine was
frustrated by caye-in. The men
have been cut off by the flames, which
are still raging, since midnight.
Every method of fighting way
through the subterranean blaze was
tried without avail, and after con-
sultation between Superintendent Cab
arini of the Argonaut Mine, and SUI
perintendent Spiers of the adjoining
Kennedy mine, it was decided to make
final effort to save the apparently
doomed men by cutting through bulk
head separating the two mines. The
attempt was hardly begun before it
was effectively stopped by the cave in.
which was about 5000 feet down. 1t
was ascertained, however, that the fire
was burning fiercely around the 400
foot level. q
The mouth Of the mine was
crowded all day and late tonight by
mothers, wives and children of the EN-
tombed men They have refused to
accept the view Of superintendent
Gabarini that the last hope Of rescue
died with the caye-in. Forty-two of
the men are said to be married, and
most Of them live in the region ad-
jacent 20 the mines.

A HISTORIC SCOUT HANDBOOK

One of the many interesting stories
related at the National Council meet
ing at Chicago, is the tale of the boy
scout handbook told by Doctor Elson,
Of the University of Wisconsin. The
doctor was stationed at one of the
largest reconstruction hospitals and
listened to the condolences of many
wounded doughboys. In the course Of
a conversation, two Of them told him
how they Switched" a boy scout hand
book which they found on board ship
on their way overseas because It's con-
tents appealed to them. do you know,
Doc" said one of them, I'VE took that
book all through France? We carried
1t with US into the trenches. We had
1t with us always and we got more
out Of 1t than we ever got out Of any
other book" The doctor asked to see
the cherished volume and the boy
fished 1t up from under his pillow. II

ment all but tore the pillar in halves,
but when the marines and the infan-
try had driven back the enemy and
recaptured the town, far beneath the
mass of stone and mortar the altar
was found intact.
Upon returning to their devastated
home the French villagers looked upon
the little altar as a good omen and
set about to clear up their ruined
church building. Later they removed
one Of the altar pillars, and after ap-
propriate ceremonies, sent it to Amer
lea as the gift of appreciation OF the
commune of Belleau to the Yankee
regiments, through their organization
of the Legion. The pillar is carefully
preserved at the Legion's headquar-

FURNISH ROOM IN HOSPITAL

Boy scouts of Terre Haute, Ind,
have provided the furnishings for a
room in the new Union hospital OF
that city. The Terre Haute Star in
an editorial commenting on this good
turn makes the following statement
THE gift OF the scouts is particu-
larry appropriate since 1t represents
an effort on the part Of the various
troops to enlarge their work. 1t has
boys. To some it was merely refrain
ing from contemplated pleasure in rec
reation to devote the time in earning
money for the troops contribution.
Other boys have engaged in various
enterprises to raise troop funds. They
have adhered strictly to scout ira
ditions and asked no contributions Of
the public for their funds.
1.-The gift means more to the hos
pital than the amount Of money pro-
vided to furnish the room. 1t has
brought the boys into intimate relation
ship with the humanitarian enterprise
and their interest in such work will con-
tinue. They will realize the good their
contribution has done and will be
ready to give their efforts to other
worthy causes. The gift is an encour-
agement to the directors Of the hos
pital. 1t proves a larger public inter

TO SEND HOME TOWN PAPER
American Legion and Auxiliary En-
deavoring 70 Supply News TO Dis
abled Men in Hospitals.

There are 10000 young Americans
who were wounded while fighting dur
ing the World war or who have be-
come sick following their service In
field and camp, now confined to hos
pitals over the United States. Most
of them are hundreds of thou
sands Of miles from their home town,
friends and relatives. Many of them
can do nothing but read TO pass away
the time.
The American Legion auxiliary,
composed Of the wives, mothers and
sisters of service men. is endeavoring
to have personal, cheerful letters
written TO these men. Now the Legion
Is trying to have people In the mems
home towns send the hometown
newspaper to them, either every day
or every week.
There are not more than five or six
ex-seryice men from any average-sized
town In hospitals, the Legion esti-
mates, and asking newspaper editors
to send free copies of their papers to
their hometown boys in hospital is
not asking too much, nor more than
citizens would be willing to do. The
Legion Is forwarding to it's officials in
each state lists Of names Of men from
that state in hospital, and asking that
local newspaper editors send their pa
pers to these men. Newspaper edi-
tors who are interested, the Legion an
nounces, are asked to signify their
willingness and to request lists Of
names of men from their towns, from
national headquarters, Indianapolis,
