ANTHRACITE STRIKE
BROUGHT To END

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Sept 10
The anthracite wage agreement,
sending the miners back to work at
once after more than five months
of :dleness, was ratified by the tri-
district convention of the hard coal
diggers Saturday night.
Under the agreement, $4,000 mine
workers return to work at the rate
of wages they received when they
suspended mining on March 81. The
new contract will be in effect until
August 81, next year, when new
arrangement is to be negotiated "in
the light" Of a report to be made by
commission which both sides rec.
ommend be created by congress to
investigate every phase Of the an
thracite industry.
The peace pact was ratified by a
vive voce vote. Immediately after
the ratification a motion was unan-
imously adopted lifting the suspen-
sion at once, and the men will be
permitted to return to work Mon
day. AS soon as the convention ad-
journed leaders Of the United Mine
Workers Immediately made prepare
tons to have the formal contract
signed by both sides at Scranton
Monday. When the men return to
work the suspension will have last
ed 1853 days, one day less than the
great strike Of 1902, which continued
from May ~ to October %, inclusive.
The suspension, which was never Of
ficially designated as a strike by
the union, was free from serious dis
order. None of the coal companies
made any attempt to mine coal, but
to keep the mines free from water.
It is not expected that full produce
ton will be obtained for several
weeks.
COAL SUPER-PRIORITY
CONSIDERED BY SPENCER
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Restora
ton Of super priority to facilitate
the shipment of coal for gas plants
in New York, Chicago and a num-
Der Of middle western cities was
under consideration by Federal Fuel
Distributor Spencer. Gas plants in
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri
and the middle west generally, Of
ficials said, have reported serious
shortage of gas coal, which is OBJ
tanned principally from Pennsylvania
and Kentucky because Of an made
quate car supply.
Anthracite operators, officials an
nounced, informed Mr.. Specer today
that no serious car shortage was eX-
pected in supplying hard coal to Sec
tons normally receiving anthracite.
COAL GIVEN PRIORITY
TO, EXPEDITE MOVEMENT
g CINCINNATI,5O o., Sept. 10.-Heavy
shipments Of coal from the south
caused the issuance of an order to-
day placing an embargo on freight
shipments over the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad passing through Gin
cinnati. This step was necessary,
it was stated, in the freight depart
ment Of the railroad here, in order
to accommodate the roads shipping
facilities to the extremely heavy
movement of coal at this time. Elk
emptions include coal, live stock and
other essentials mentioned in the
federal priority orders.

Chairman Lasker, of the shipping

President Harding was still at the

the White House during the day Of
former President and Mrs. Wilson.
They had been most gracious" and
the president was deeply apprecia-

The White House grounds were
deserted tonight except for the de-
tails of police who kept quiet vigil
while the executive mansion itself
was shrouded in darkness except
for dim glow from the front en-
trance and a subdued light which
came from the sick room.
President Harding, physicians and
nurses remained alone at the bed

Because Of the absence of officials
from the executive offices, where at

visitors as the night wore on.

HUNT FOR SECRET OF LIFE
Dream Of Every Scientist, Although
Always Regarded as a Widely

A hunt more exciting than any man
hunt is going on nj present in the
laboratories OF some Of the most nd

To find the formula which Will open

The starting OF life in frogs eggs has

LEGEND LIVES ON
Another Explanation Of Lost Con.
tinent of Atlantis.
Students OF History Are Coming TO the
Belief That There May BE Basis
Of Truth.

\ story OF the perhaps authentic con
tinent OF Atlantis has recently APP
peared from the pen of Scott Elliot
that submerged land In which interest
is heightened by the fact that SO little
is really known about it.
The present writer tells us that sew
eral colossal geologic catastrophes took
place prior 10 the Christian era-some
between 100000 and 100000 and the
most recent. 1904 years before the
drama OF Calvary. At these several
periods the form of the seas and CONT
nents was modified, water taking the
place Of land and vice versa.
The traditional deluge conforms to
the last of these hypothesis, which is
also the basis of the legend of the lost
city Of Us. II explains, moreover, the
confused memories of certain ancient
peoples relative 10 large island lying
beyond the Pillars of Hercules, our
modern Gibraltar.
Plato. and others before him, spoke
Of the invasion of Greece by a people
from a distant land. There were gold
covered temples in this land and won
derful orchards and forests. and its In
habitants dwelt in peace and prosper
ity under the scepter Of Neptune'S de-
scendants. But, ii was related this
people fell into evil ways, SO that Ju-
piter rolled the ocean over them and
all persisted.
These happenings, ignored by us.
barely punctuate the mists that en-
STROUD the hundreds OF centuries that
have come and gone; yet IL is none the
less true that human kind vaguely
cherishes The belief in these gigantic
earth movements concerning which So
many suggestions have been ad-
vanced. Diodorus Of Sicily mentions
the hypothesis Of a violent disturbance
in the Mediterranean, which, travelling
through the straits OF Gibraltar, over
whelmed Atlantis beyond.
Is this all dream stuff? Is there no
basis of truth In these strange legends?
Who would attempt denial in the
face of Mr. Elliot's evidence? Whence
came the wonderful tales of flourish
ing countries and splendid cities for
ever covered by the waves?
1t is easy to appreciate the attrac-
tion offered the imagnations of poets,
novelists and philosophers by the mys-
terry of Atlantis. Plato made IL the
subject OF magnificent narrative
which. in turn, has supplied the plot Of
a beautiful present day poem by the
Spaniard, Don Jacinto Verdaguer Ba-
con, too, wrote Of The New Atlantis"
city of scientists. where everything
that could produce human genius
found its focus and was preserved and
brought 20 perfection
Il is probable that we shall never
know anything definite concerning this
dream country in which superstitious
sailors still believe bending over the
taf'rail on dark nights 10 catch the
distant ringing Of water muGled bells
IN the drowned steeples far below.
All. no; like enough we shall learn
nothing more. No doubt that Is why
fhe story is so dear TO US.
