IT MEN ENTOMBED IN
GOLD MINE IN CALIFORNIA

SanFrancisco, Cal, Aag. 30.-Hope
Of rescue for the prisoners of the
Argonaut mine waned today. Picked
miners of the Mother Lode country,
working with a desperate earnest
ness that leaves them exhausted at
the end of their six hour shifts bat
tered away at the thin but incredibly
tough wall of slate that separates the
Kennedy mine from the Argonaut at
the 5000 foot level. Beyond that
wall, in the lower levels of the Argo-
naut, are forty-seven who have waited
helplessly since fire above cut them
off from escape at midnight Sunday.
The Amadora county Red Gross
has a group of twenty women on
duty. They are serving hot coffee
and sandwiches to those fighting the
fire and comforting families Of the
entombed men.
Thanks to the fact that it was a
custom of the mine to permit parties
of twenty miners to go on hunting
and fishing trips Sunday, the regu-
lar underground crew working on the
Sunday night shift, was twenty short
Of the regular lumber. Twenty men
whose turn it was to enjoy a holiday
are alive and on top today.
The mine officials refuse to give
out lists and such names as have been
obtained by the newspaper represen-
tatives have been secured from the
families of the Imprisoned men and
from other miners.
Superintendent Garbarini mas issued
an order excluding newspaper men
and moving picture operators from
the mine property.

Do 1t Now
IF YOU ARE NOT REG
ISTERED YOU CAN'T
VOTE AT FALL ELECTION

During the primaries, this year as
usual, many citizens could not vote
because they had not qualified by
registering. In twelve days more, the
registration books will close and those
who have not registered at that time
cannot vote at the General Election.
The way to register is to appear be-
fore the Clerk & Recorder or a coun-
ty registrar located at different places
about the county. Amy Notary Public
outside of county seat can register
When a voter registers, he should
take his card, and mail it himself to
the Clerk & Recorder at the county
seat. Do not trust the notary for he
usually lays the card away and for
gets to send it in. If you want to vote,
you must register.

MEMBERS Held
BY CONTRACT

The Kansas Wheat Growers asso-
citation has reecivd from tn state su-
prerne court an injunction to restrain
a member from making sales of
wheat outside of the association in
violation of his contract. The iniune-
ton was denied by the district court,
but granted without question by the
higher body.
The situation carries unusual in
terest, inasmuch as the organization
has not until just recently been in
shape to market wheat, and the plea
of the grower that it had not been
able to fill its part of the argument
before the state supreme court. The
court, however, held that the question
was one Of contract between officers
and members, and pointed the ne

JOHN ANDERSON
NOMINATED FOR SHERIFF

The famous and odiferous "old
Gang" in Roosevelt county were Gust
ousted completely at the Tues
days primaries when the "Clean
House" Ticket won everything, and
the farmers and taxpayers are reioic-
ing over the hopes that the conditions
may change for the better there as
result OF their victory Tuesday.
lhe tight was bitter and exciting
and both sides Tough for supremacy
until the "Hear Ye, Hear Ye, the
Polls are now closed" was uttered by
the election judges, Tuesday evening
at seven o'clock, when the followers
of Won Hindie Weinrich gave up the
ghost, leaving the unfortunate county
of Roosevelt broke and standed after
three years of administration.
AS near as can be determined at
this time, every officer in the court
house running for denomination was
defeated. John Zuck was the high
man for the house of representatives,
receiving about twelve hundred votes.
James Ostby of McCabe, a we'll known
league farmer, was also nominated
for the house with about 900 votes.
Sem Anderson and Oscar Collins
carried the county, and Mcconnell re-
ceived complimentary vote for con-
gress.
The old gang of Roosevelt county
will try to come back on the demo-
cratic ticket in the fall election it is
but there is very little
chance for it to win for the vote is
almost as heavy in the primary as it
will be in the general election. Roose-
velt county cast the heaviest vote cast
in the primaries in eastern Montana.

DYE EMBARGO IS LOST IN SENATE
 BY 3S ID 32 VOTE
Frelinghuysen Serves Notice He Will Make Another Ef- fort to Extend Limit of
 Present Provision
By Associated Press

Washington. July 15.-Dye manu lecturers failed today In the fourth phase of their long fight to have the existing dye embargo and licensing system continued after the coming into force of the administration tar if bill. The Senate py a vote of AZ to 32, struck out provisions of that measure under which the em- bargo would have been continued for one year or longer at the discretion Of the President.
 This does not end, however, what has come to be the bitter contro- versy in Congress. Senator Freling- huysen, republican, New Jersey, an- nounced he would offer the embargo provision after the tariff had been reported 10 the Senate from the committee of the whole. Meantime Senator Bursum, republican. New Mexico, Is preparing an amendment continuing the embargo for a year or more, but with a provision re- quiring that the profits of the dys manufacturers in excess of ten per cent be paid into the federal treas ury.
 Roll Call
 The roll call today on the embargo amendment follows:
 For the embargo:
 Republicans: Ball, Brandegee. Bur sum, Calder. Curtis, Dupont. Edge. Ernest, Fernald, France, Freling- huysen, Gooding. Hale. Jones of Washington, Ladd. Lenroot, Lodge. McCumber. Mckinley, Mclean, Me- Nary, New, Oddie, Pepper, Phipps. Rawson, Shortridge, Sterling. Town send, Warren, Watson of Indiana. and willis-32.
 Against the embargo:
 Republicans: Capper, cumrnins. Harreld. Johnson, Kellogg, Reyes, Mo- Cormick, Moses, Nelson, Nicholson, Norbeck, Norris and Smoot-14.
 Democrats: Ashurst. Caraway, Cul- person, Dial, Fletcher, Harris, liar rison, Hefiin, Kendrick, King, Over man. Pomerene. Ransdell. Robinson. Sheppard. Shields Simmons, Smith, wood, Walsh of Massachusetts and Walsh of Montana--24. Total 3S.
 A number Of those voting against the embargo today supported 1t a year ago, when the present act was passed. but expressed that they boz lieved the necessity for a law had ceased to exist On the other hand. Senators supporting the finance com mittee amendment contended that an embargo is necessary to protect not only the dye industry but also to insure the perpetuity of the chemi- cal industry as a means of national defense.
