AUTO MADE TRIP IN THREE HOURS
 LESS THAN TRAIN

As one of the sections of the world fin which motor cars are being sold in large numbers, South Africa has a pe- culiar interest for American motor ists and automobile manufacturers. Cars of American make are especial ly popular in that country. Dealers appear to be unusually progressive and to have plenty of the progressive spirit so manifest in this country.
 GA motor event which has recently aroused wide interest in South Africa and which has received wide publicity in the press there was an endurance run from Cape Town to Pretoria in an effort to establish a faster record than is made by the mail trains. The test was highly successful.
 There is no real road between tine two capitals; but a thousand odd miles of veldt with all that that inn plies. Over that the motorist fol- lows tracks, ill-defined in places and i'll to travel upon always That a car could be driven over it at such a pace as to beat the mail train was regarded as an impossible feat. The journey was made in three hours and forty-eight minutes under the time consumed by the train.

FORECASTS END
 IF ANTHRACITE
 STRIKE IN WEEK
Operators Will Not Obstruct Settlement, Is Belief of
 White House Spokesman

WASHINGTON, Ang. 11.-Predic- tiOn that the situation in the anthra- cite coal region would ''come to a eli max in less than a week from today" was made today at the White House by spokesman for the administration No comment, however, was forthcom- ing as to what developments were ex- pected.
 The administration spokesman fur ther declared that President Harding considered the anthracite operators ''the scouts" the government has dealt with during the present industrial troubles. It was added that the presi- dent believed that the anthracite op- orators had not and would not ob Struct a settlement in their territory.
 How soon negotiations to end the suspension of work in the anthracite fields might be expected was not re- vealed by officials, but the opinion was expressed at the White House that a settlement had been delayed because of negotiations pending in Cleveland for termination of the bituminous strike. Both parties to the controver sy in the anthracite field were said, in the presidents opinion, to be just flied in postponing their efofrts to bring about an adjustment because of the activities in the bituminous sit uation.
 Secretary declared today that the country faced shortage of anthracite coal, which could not possibly be made up within the next year. There was shortage of at least 30,000,000 tons, according to the latest reports con veyed to him by officials keeping in touch with the coal production, he ad- ded. Sufficient bituminous coal to es- tablish the normal surplus quantity usually on hand could not be produced before April at the earliest, Davis said
 Then central coal committee will not hesitate to refuse priority orders for fuel to mines which do not conform wit hthe Hoover fair prices, Fuel Di& tributor Spencer said today.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 11.-(By the As sociated Press)-An wage contract that may grow out of the conference here of soft coal operators and miners probably will continue in force only until April l, it was indicated today by discussion of the operators-miners joint sub-scale committee on. the gen eral terms of an agreement No if nal decision on any question was reached, but the date for expiration of the contract was brought forward in considering what board or commission might be created to arrange for fu- ture negotiations. Past contracts have run for two years, expiring on March 31.
 Operators on the committee declined to make public their proposal for fu- ture settlements, but it was under stood to have suggested arbitration and in this respect met with the flat refusal of the miners. The union leaders, however, were said to approve a fact finding commission of purely advisory powers.

Martinez Execution Will Take Place on
 Date; Motion Fails

MORALES, Ariz., Aug. 1.-The ex- ecution of Manuel Martinez will take place in the state penitentiary next Friday. notwithstanding a belated mo- tiOn for a new trial, according to tel ephonic advices received by court at taches here today from the governors office in Phoenix. Martinez was sen tenced to be hanged for complicity in a bandit raid 8 year ago in which Postmaster and Mrs. J. Frank Pear son of Ruby. Ariz.. were slain. The motion for new trial will not act as a stay of execution, the governors of flee stated, because it was not filed until after judgment in the case had been entered
 The eleventh hour attempt to save Martinez from the gallows was insti- tuted Wednesday by Attorney Gregg Garcia of Phoenix, representing the Mexican consul in the capital city.
 Superior Court Clerk Robert D. Lee was notified over the long distance telephone today by Henri Rehoteguy, private secretary to Governor Camp bell. that Attorney General Galbraith has ruled that the motion for a new trial should have been filed before judgment was entered.

] SAILORS DIE |NEXPLOS|ON
 ON BIG LINER
Four Others Are Injured by Blast; Spontaneous Com
 bustion Given as Cause

ABOARD THE STEAMSHIP ADRI- ATTIC, OFF NEW ENGLAND, Aug. Il. -(By Wireless to the Associated Press) explosion occurring today aboard the steamship Adriatic in the reserve coal hatch killed five members of the crew and wounded four others.
 The explosion, which took place at 1:30 a. m., was caused by spontaneous combustion.
 Not a passenger was killed. Of the five members of the crew who were killed, one was believed to have been blown overheard.
 The following description of the ex- plosion was, given by Martin H. Gynn, former governor of New Rork, news paperman and passenger:
 Tt came like roar of thunder. The captain of the shop, Hugh R. David, is strict disciplinarian and this showed today when he performed great work. He had the fire in the hold under control and the ship again on her way a few hours after the eX- plosion.
 'The discipline, the courtesy of all the officers, was admirable, and the members of the crew were true to the best tradition of English seamanship.
 ''The explosion and the attending flash awakened me. 1 landed on deck to find scores before me, and there we stayed until the sun came up and what we saw was complimentary to human nature.
 Tt was tense time. There was a solemnity, a seriousness in the air, a quietnesS of speech, a hush of eXpec- tancy and a looking of faith in the faces but no whimpering, no hyster- ics, no wailing, no word of. complaint.
 Then, while the boat was still drift ing and the pumps plugging away, from out the shadows came the voice of a woman who said:
 Captain David will pull us through all right"
 "A man next to her repeated it. Then some one lese took it up and so it went from lip to lip down the line and around the deck:
 Captain David will pull us through all right
 And he did"
 Today while the sinking sun was gliding down the western sky, two of the victims, enshrouded in the Union Jack, were interned in the vaults of the deep. while 1500 people stood in reverental attitude as the bodies slipped over the side of the ship for which they had given their lives.
 Passengers raised s7,OO0 to care for the families of the dead and injured.

The entire ceremony lasted less than six minutes from the time Mccormick, Madame Walska, and the Malones left their automobile and entered the city hall. The formality of the mar riage bans being posted in the city hall two weeks in advance of the cer- emony had been waived by the French authorities as a special privilege.
 The wedding party arrived at the clty nall at 1O:3O o'clock this morning and were immediately ushered into the large private room of Mayor Berth enet. The bride was dressed in a plain tailor-made travelling suit of grey. She wore a small hat of the same color and looked to be in radi- ant health and spirits. Mccormick also was dressed in grey suit. He seemed to be in high spirits.
 The destination of the newlyweds has been surrounded by strict secre- cy, although it is understood they have not gone very far away. The janitor at Madame Walska's house as- serted that the couple had left this af- ternoon for Carlsbad. and that :he servants and the Polish prima don- mas secretary would follow on a night train.

 The thirty-seventh defendant, N. A Baker, whose physical collapse halted the trial yesterday, will be given an order of mistrial and subsequent pro ceedings in his case will await the re- port of alienists who will examine him under the direction of the court.
 This cleared up a situation which Judge Houser announced from the bench he believed to be absolutely unique in California. The 37 defend ants were being tried under joint in- dictment, prepared under law pass ed two years ago and the illness of Baker halted the trial until it could be determined what effect a dismissal

 The defendants will be required to sign a stipulation that they will not attempt to assign appeal error on any point covered by today's agreement.
 Baker. according to physicians, is suffering from complete nervous pros tration, is irrational and possessed of a delusion that he is in danger and someone is pursuing him.
 Deputy District Attorney Reyes asked the court to appoint a special ist in mental diseases to examine Ba- ker.
 'I am informed" he said, "that this man had an attack which may have been of a similar nature some time ago and recovered in a very short time.'
 This was agreed to by the defense and Dr. T. J. Orbinson was assigned by Judge Houser to make the exam ination.
