From the mouth of the pit, from which these men have helped to take fortunes in gold at aG1 average of a million dollars a year. came no token of hope. From it came no sign of the hell of flame and smoke and plods- oned air that ragged between the in- 4,000 feet and the workers who vain ly struggled ito reach them.
 Rescuers Hurled Back.
 During the night, men attempting the flaming levels were dragged back to the surtfaJce, their faces blackened. They came to gasp for fresh air and to teIl of the hopeIessness of the 'fsl1ips'' run were warped and distort- ed with the heat, in some places even melted away.

Until their bodies are brought out, the hope that some of the 48 still live will endure.
 A portion of the main shaft below the 2,7OO foot level had caved in, and workmen could remain at the 2,4OO foot level to fight the flames only a few minutes at 8 time. The trapped rlen are believed to be on the 4,5oo foot level and lower levels.
 A considerable establishment for ire fighting and rescue-work has been set up at the 2400 foot level.

How is this for a record?
 At o'clock Sunday morning, August 20th, two Bridgeport lads, AL bert Steele. IS, of 237 Park street, and Wanna Thorndyke, IT, of 297 Golden Hill street started on a two weeks hike and camping trip to Canada.
 The Khaki K1ad Kids" carried 20 pound packs over their shoulders con taining a blanket, tent, rubber poncho, campers kit for cooking, first aid equipment for accidents and several other little necessities.
 Each one had about 20 dollars with them and felt that they could make the trip with this small sum of money. They were given hearty send off by their fellow employees of Smith Mur- ray Company and then started on their long but adventurous journey.
 Friends PeSSfnlaStic.
 There was considerable doubt pre- valent among their friends and rela- tives as to whether or not they could make the trip in the allotted time. However from the steady influx of postal cards which their friends have received show-that the plucky boys have won their goal by reaching Quebec. N
 The trip to Quebec is about 5s5 miles from here and the two arrived In Quebec on Friday. August 18th.

Coal Peace
  In One W eek
Operators and Miners Nearing Solution of Problem as No Gov ernment Seizure" Re- ports Find Way Into Philadelphia Confer ence-155, 900 Men to Return to Work.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-A de- finite statement that there would be no government inter vention or seizure of mines was the outstanding feature of the anthracite situation here today. The statement came from an authorative source last night.
 Within a short time, according to the source of information. and prob ably within a week. representative of the miners and hard coal operators will sign a peace pact and 155,000 workers soon thereafter will return to their jobs.
 This agreement, it was declared, will overcome the Stumbling blocks which presented themselves last week miners and operators came to a dead lock in the office of Samuel D. War rtner, president of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company and chair man of the operators policies com nittee. Neither side, it was further said, would have to recede from its determination to make any more con- sessions.
 Meanwhile, the series of confer ences held by John L. Lewis. pres ident of the United Wine Workers and by MT. Warriner and other op- orators, has been continuing. United Labor Davis. Mayor John Durkan of Scranton and others have conferred with ths labor leader.
 The Rev. J. J. Curran of Wilkes barre, veteran priest and friend of President Roosevelt. who was active In seeking peace in the 1902 strike, was among MT. Lewis callers yester- day. Later Father Curran visited MT. Mariner. after which he issued a stateu1ent in which he said that he believed that the mine workers, who are opposed to permanent board of arbitration, would be willing to agree to the creation of stfact finding commission" to report its finding at a conference of operators and miners.

which 48 men are imprisoned, ex- plained today that the miners were in no danger of dust or other explosions, but said if they had not obtained air by today there was little hope for them. He just has returned from an inspection of the mine.
 Fire Spreading.
 Despite all efforts, the fire which cut off the escape of the miners has spread. Early today preparations were made to battle it by hand. Fire
 masks planned to carry their desper- ate battles into the burning levels. At the same time, relays Of men, refreshed by few hours of rest, were mine adjoining the Argonaut in an eff fort to open up a passage way to the burning mine through which the men, f alive, may escape.
 It was admitted it will be many hours before this passage can be opened-perhaps twelve or eighteen. It is the theory of many experienced miners that the trapped men would, as soon as the alarm spread quickly, hurry to this bulkhead from the forty | third, forty-f1fth and forty-efghth levels on which they were working. They consider it possible that the little trapped company may have sealed the opening of the lower level to prevent the smoke and fumes from following them into their retreat
 The One Hope,
 Others. including Suipt. Gabariui. held to the belief that rescue can only come through the conquering of the fire raging in the main shaft Gar barlni believes the fate of the men depends almost entirely on whether air pipes through which a constant stream of the Hfegiving ozone is being pumped, have held out. If the fire raging from the 24th to the 3Oth levels has cut these pipes, hope is small for rescue alive.
 Meanwhile, no sign has come from the depths of the earth to alleviate the burden of anxiety of loved ones waiting at the pdts mouth. The women and children remained far in to the night awaiting word from their men. Red Cross workers from Jack son-sone of them with relatives in the mine, persuaded most of the won- en to go to their homes during the night hours, although some refuse to quit their death watch. Are they dead or alive? is the pitffu1 ques- ton on every lip. A fresh rumor is borne with every trip of the big iron skip down the shaft to the twenty second [evel from which point the fight against the fire is being direct ed.
 One rumor says a body has come up. A woman faints-another screams. Another says a great cave in occurred, but it proved untrue.
 And grimIy the neacue workers continue against terrific odds

 "The statement that the city of Bridgeport has paid out hundreds of dollars to license automobiles used in official business this year where they might have had free registry, is with cut foundation" Angus P. Thorne, superintendent of charities and head Cf the municipal garage said today.
 The city has never paid such a fee at any time in the memory of Mi. Thorne.
 Operators of these cars do pay their own license fee because many men drive their own cars on personal business after business hours"

 The two who have been pupils in the High School here felt that they would be able to understand the French language in Quebec, but to their surprise and dismay they were unable, to cope with the Canadian French.
 When in Montreal they spent the night in jail and slept there. One of the boys wrote and assured his friends that he was not arrested but just won dered how it felt to sleep in jail Ex- cept the nights which were spent in jail and with Mrs Thorndykes sister the two have camped out and enjoyed their outdoor life immensely.
 The two are homeward bound and are expected back in this city Labor Day. In a letter received by the Times one of the boys said that if the pair had enough time they would go from Buffalo. to Washington and while there try and gain an audience with President Warren Harding. At the rate they are going now it will be pos sible, for them to. reach Washington and return on scheduled time. All we can say is some trip.'

House of Mystery No Longer Has Any
 Secrets from Cops

A blanket continuance until 'tomor- row morning was granted to Mrs Florence Stone and seven frequenters caught in the police net of the Bureau of Investigation last night when they swooped down upon the House of Mystery at 27 Drouve street, arrest ing the inmates on statutory charges. In the years when that section was known throughout the East as the red light district the house at 27 Drouve street was almost as famous as the section because Of the inability of the police to ever get in without an alarm being given to the inmates.
 This was due to a system of buzzers and bells installed by former mis- tress and the easy access to hiding places by those that knew the ropes. Dumbwaiters, moving staircases, pan eEled doors, secret chambers and divers other hiding places made it more or less of a nemesis to the po- lice.
 All arrested gave fictitious names according to the police and their cases will be aired in court tomorrow morning. Bonds ranging from $50 fo S30O were fixed

The existing working agreements between the brotherhoods and the railroads are mostly of the continuity type, running from year to year or until one side gives thirty days notice of intention to terminate.
 Should the Cleveland conference decide to give notice, it would be served as of Aug. 31. according to brotherhood leaders in Washington, and would amount to serving notice that new contracts would not be ne gotiated Sept. 30, unless there was ad- justment of grievances before that date.
 Serving notice on the railroads would leave the powerful brother hoods who hold the balance of power in the present strike of railway shop men, free to act in any way they saw fit at the end of thirty days. In this respect, such action was described by brotherhood leaders in Washington today as merely a precautionary measure against possible develop mentS.
