Answer to Yesterdays.


Let us call the distance that
the army marched during the
time that Bill was making his
way to the head y. Thus you
see that the army moved Y
and Bill moved 80 plus Y.
Then Buffalo Bill returning
must have gone back that dis
tance X, while the army moved
forward 80 miles minus X.
Thus we have the statement IN
proportion: 80 plus X is to
X as Y is to 80 minus X. This
proves the value OF X squared
TO be 450 and X equallng 21
plus. Now IL is plain that Bill
moved 80 miles and twice that
distance X, a total Of 72 rs
plus miles, which is the answer
to the problem.

BIG FIRE DAMAGES
WASHINGTON HOTEL
Vice President Coolidge Among
kotabIes Who Flee From
EARLY Morning Blaze

Washington. - Vice President Cool
idge, several members of the Senate
and House of Representatives and
many other persons prominent in
public, business and social life were
among some 600 guests of the New
Willard Hotel who were routed out of
their beds by fire which swept the
top floor O. the 10-story gray stone
structure at Pennsylvania avenue and
Fourteenth street
The blaze had it's origin in the ball
room on the tenth floor, where a few
hours before President Harding, Mr..
Coolidge, members of the cabinet,
senators and representatives, foreign
diplomats and others had sat around
the banquet board as guests of the
Gridiron Club at it's annual spring
dinner and frolic.
The fire was confined to that floor
and the roof above, but tons Of water
poured into the flames seeped through
to the floors below, causing much
damage.
There naturally was some confusion
and excitement as hotel attaches, DO
licemen and firemen pounded on doors
and the telephone operator on duty
called room after room, but all those
in the hotel got out of their apart
ments to the corridors and lobbies in
safety. Many went to other hotels.
carrying at least part of their luggage
with them, but scores remained at the
New Willard and returned to their
rooms after the fire had been extin-
guished.
How the fire started may never be
determined, but one theory is that ci-
garet or cigar, or a cigar stump cast
aside at the close of the Gridiron din
ner found a lodging place underneath
a rug or in a fold of heavy drapery.
Among the many prominent guests
in the hotel were Brigadier General
c. r Sawyer, personal physician to
President Harding; General Charles
c. Dawes. director of the budget:
General r. Coleman Dupont, senator
from Delaware: Senators McNary
Oregon, and Rawson, Iowa; Mrs

SUBMARINE CHASERS
USED BY BOOTLEGGERS
Commander of Seized Vessel
Says Cargo Was Stolen
BY Raiders

New York. - Custom officials an
nounced that they were working to
smash a rich bootlegging ring which
they charged had modified fleet OF
former submarine chasers to meet
creation of Americas dry navy.
The federal agents are working on
the theory that the swift craft that
once pursued German U-boats and
were sold after the war now are pos
ing as naval vessels, and commanded
by officers in the uniform of the Unit
ed States, already have succeeded in
running $3,000,000 worth of rum into
the United States from Bermuda and
Havana.
The announcement of the discovery
of the alleged smuggling scheme was
made after former submarine chaser
1O1, rechristened the Fidus, had been
nabbed in New York harbor by a po.
lice boat and customs launch after
she had passed quarantine. Customs
men claimed that they found aboard
her numerous charts with marked
landings along the Atlantic coast and
Hudson river. No liquor was found
aboard her and the crew told a hair
raising tale of having had their cargo
plundered by pirates of the Long Is
land coast.
Captain Kelly claimed to have been
taking liquor to Montreal for Bermu-
da wine market that owned the craft,
when pirates on another chaser stole
his cargo and manifest.
Chief Engineer William Lockwood
made the following statement:
I'VE were all below. This was
about 6 o'clock A bell was given us
to stop and we stalled the engines
Next thing we knew a gang of men,
all unmasked, swarmed down on us,
and pointing revolvers at us, backed
us into a small compartment in the
engine room and told us to be quiet"
Half an hour later, according to
Lockwood, a seaman ventured above
and saw Kelly tied to the mast, hand
and foot. Lockwood claimed to have
united the knots himself. The liquor
was gone.
Several of the seamen claimed to
have heard several revolver shots, but
others heard no shooting AS far as
they knew no one was wounded.

GOVERNMENT TO
END COAL STRIKE
White House Announces II Is
Working on Problem For
Solving Mine Dispute
HARDING CONSIDERING PLAN
Will Submit Proposal for a Permanent
Solution of Basic Problems Of the
lndustry-The Coal Supply Is
Practically lnexhaustible.

Washington, ID. C.-The government
is working on a plan looking to end
ing of the coal strike, which it will
submit soon to both operators and
union leaders, it was said at the
White House. Details of the plan
were not disclosed, but it was said
that it does not include federal super
vision of the coal industry.
The plan, which now is receiving
the attention OF President Harding
and his advisers, was said to contem-
plate a permanent solution, if possi-
BILE, of the basic problems of the in
dustry. Presentation of the plan. it
was indicated, would be made when a
favorable opportunity presents itself.
Testifying before the House labor
committee on the Bland bill, which
proposes to create a federal coal in
vestigating agency, j. ID. A. Morrow,
vice president of the National Coal
Association, declared it was sheer
nonsense to suppose that consumers
pay more for coal because of over
production"
The existence of many more miners
than are needed normally to supply
the country, Mr. Morrow said, ."is the
chief safeguard of the consumer"
Mr.. Morrow added that repeated in
vestigation had proved the supply of
coal in the United States, practically
inexhaustible." While distribution OF
mines and ownership made it impos-
sible for monopoly or price control to
exist in the country, he asserted.

Apollo. - Three non-union miners
were killed and one was seriously in
jured when bunkhouse near the Pat
terson mine of the Kjskiminetas Val
ley Coal Company at West Apollo,
was dynamited.
bomb was hurled through a win
dow of the bunkhouse, a frame struc-
ture 20 by II feet, and containing one
room. Seven men were sleeping in
the room at the time
Since the miners strike went into
effect efforts have been made to op-
crate the mine by non-union miners,
about 10 men being employed.
The seven men who were in the
bunkhouse had been working in the
mine, but had been residing in vari-
Gus homes. They had been accosted
several times by pickets who had
been stationed around the mine and
reported that they had been threaten
ed unless they ceased working.
When these reports reached officers
Of the company, arrangements were
made to house the men in a frame
building near the mine and it was
fitted up as sleeping quarters. All
the men were asleep when there was
crash of glass and the men jumped
from their beds. The room was dark,
but the sputtering fuse of the bomb
could be seen in the darkness
Stanley Meilke made a dive for the
bomb and picked it up, intending to
throw it out the window, through
which it had been thrown, but before
he could carry out his intention the
bomb exploded
Other occupants of the bunkhouse
startled, had clustered around Meilke
before the bomb exploded and two of
them were killed

ANOTHER LEVEE
is PENETRATED
Mississippi Flood Waters Are
Rushing Through 2,200-F oot
Gap in Louisiana
SIX TOWNS IN GREAT PERIL
Break Occurs At Unexpected Point
Only Few Men On Duty-Section
Inundated Is Largely Devoted
To the Cotton Industry.

Natchez, Miss.-Flood waters of the
Mississippi river are rushing through
a crevasse which occurred in Concor.
dia parish, four miles north of Ferri
day, La, at the Weicama levee. The
gap was reported to be 2,2O0 feet
wide and rapidly increasing. No hope
was held of stopping the break, as the
levee was said to be of sandy forma
tion there and crumbling rapidly.
The break occurred at an unexpect
ed point and very few men were on
duty
The section behind the break is one
of the richest farming sections in
Louisiana and is largely devoted to
cotton planting. In the immediate
path of the flood are the towns OF
Ferriday, Junks, Clayton, Vidalia,
Wildsville and Frogmore Vidalia is
a town of about 1000 population, Fer
riday 500 and the others are small
villages.
Reports from Ferriday and Vidalia
said that a break in the line had been
anticipated and that most of the peo-
pie had built scaffolds on which to
elevate their belongings. Some OF the
citizens were of the opinion that the
flood waters will rise to a greater
depth than four or five feet in the
houses. Reports of the crevasse have
been spread through the area expect
ed to be affected, and it is believed
that every one will be warned in time
to bring livestock to the levees to be
transported to the safety of the Mis-
sissippi hills back OF Natchez.
In one house in the path of the
flood seven white people-three wild
ows and four children, one OF whom
was ill, huddled in terror. They were
discovered by II. B. Conner of Vidalia,
who was in the vicinity of the Gre
vase at the time it occurred and was
riding ahead of the flood to give warn
ing. They were told to get on the
levee and await rescue.
