SHINES Is Independent.
Hugo SHINES. the greatest of the
German industrialists and mine
owners, has shown himself to be an
"aloof independent" He has had
little 10 say and has been absent
from the Rhineland nearly all the
time since the French took the
Ruhr. 1t is said that his recent
trip TO the Ruhr was undertaken
with view of combating the
growing impression that he had
little concern over the situation.
SHINES denied with emphasis the
reports that he was entering into
negotiations with the French with
view to establishing amicable re-
lations between the coal and iron
interests of France and Germany.

TO JAIL "STAR" BOARDERS
WHO BREAK UP HOMES

GLOUCESTEN, n. J., Feb. 8
During the last two weeks Mayor
McNally. who sits as the commit
ting magistrate in the police court,
received numerous domestic COM
plants in many homes. In the ma
1ority of the cases there was a
"star boarder" behind the entire
trouble.
The mayor declared that he is
going to round up the stars" and
some of them are going to jail 1t
is time to put a stop to such work
he said, and the only way to do it
is to send the guilty ones to Jail.
Last night a man was arraigned
before the mayor for assault and
battery on his wife, and the evil
dence showed that the wife spends
much of her time enjoying the COM
pany of a bOarder. Instead Of send
ing the case to court he warned
both and held the case under ad-
Visemcnt.

warning and workmen were caught
unawares.
Gas fumes are making the work
of exploration extremely difficult.
Approximately 200 miners were
under ground at the time Of the
disaster. although about forty were
in the immediate vicinity of the ex-
plosion.
Bodies of four workmen were
found huddled together in the
death chamber" They were as
phyxiated. But one man was found
alive ins the area about the explo-
sion.
Laborers from all points Of the
mine rushed to the scene to aid In
rescuing their fellow workers. The
explosion occurred about two miles
back from the mine entrance, which
made the task of removing bodies
a tedious one.
An unknown number OF japanese
and other foreigners are believed to
have been injured, reports here in
dictated.
There was no fire following the
explosion. reports indicate.
Binding coal dust. flying debris
and deadly gas fumes were the
aftermaths.
The mine belongs to the Canadian
Galleries Company.

French and Belgian
Officials at Odds on
Procedure in Germany
by International News Service.

BRUSSELS, Feb. 9.-Friction has
developed between the French and
Belgian military authorities in the
Rhineland. especially in the Ruhr,
it was learned today from semi
official source.
1t was reported from AK la
Chappelle Belgian military head
quarters that the Belgian officers
were resentful because they claimed
the French ignored their, advice.
NJ. LIE TrOcquer, minister of pub
lie works in the French cabinet,
is due here tomorrow to confer
with the Belgian cabinet. An effort
will be made to straightcn out the
trouble and prevent occurrences in
the future.
Foreign Minister Japar probably
will leave Paris at the end of the
week to confer with Premier Poin-
care of France. 1t is possible that
France and Belgium may enter into
formal agreement regarding Ruhr
occupation to prevent friction in
the future

MOTHER, 4-DAY
BABE, SAVED
FRONT FIRE
Private Herman King Com
mended for Risking His Life
to Effect Rescue.

A mother and her four-day-old
baby owe their lives to the heroism
of Private Herman King. of No. 4
truck company, who yesterday res
cued them from blazing room in
which both were confined to bed.
Kings heroic rescue of the
mother and child today resulted
in Lieut.. H. A. Chapman, in com
mand of No. 4 truck, recommend
ing to Acting Chief Sullivan that
he be officially commended.
The rescued woman is Mrs. Alfred
Dorsey, of 1919 Ninth street north
west. She was confined to\a. room
on the second floor Of the house.
Fireman King, who was on his
way to the truck house six blocks
away, saw a small coIored boy at
tempting to turn in an alarm. He
rushed to the box and after the
boy told him there was a fire
down the street" rang the alarm.
King hurried to the Dorsey home.
Smoke was already pouring out of
windows on upper stories.
King found Mrs. Dorsey and her
baby in a smoke filled room. He
carried the mother out of the house
and then hurried back and rescued
the child. The fireman nearly
dropped from exhaustion after he
brought the baby out. He was re.
moved to the home of nearby
physician and given first aid treat
ment. a..
The blaze was caused by an over
heated stove on the second floor of
the Dorsey home. Damage was esti-
mated at $500.
King lives at 5oS5 Georgia avenue
northwest.

prudence than the average person
with good hearing can give.
The club calls attention to the
States Of Michigan and Ohio, where
the law makes no discrimination
against deaf applicants, stating that
the records in those States show no
accidents charged to deafness. 1t
claims that faulty sight is a greater
menace to safety than impaired
hearing ana that no adequate test
Of vision Is made in examinations
for licensing.
Miss r. p. Spofford, speaking for
the club In her capacity Of presi-
dent, declares that persons whose
deafness makes them sensitive and
nervous are not likely to want to
drive, and that the deaf who have
enough confidence to learn, and can
successfully pass the tests, are safer
than the average driver who, with
all his faculties, takes risks because
Of his cocksureness.

monthly report of the Department
Of Labor.
Cuts Result In Surplus.
The constant cutting down of
the office forces of the various
Governmental institutions has left
surplus of clerks on the debit side
of the Industrial ledger, but some
Of these are applying their talents
successfully TO broader lines of
activity.
The lack of employment for idle
machinists is expected to be some

turbed this winter than in years be

back to normal Some of the de-
preston in this respect has already
been offset by the beginning of
construction work on an eight-story
hotel.
Housing Conditions Better.
An acute shortage of domestic
help is apparent, according to the
Labor Department bulletin, while
skilled and unskilled labor keeps a
steady pace with the demand. Hous-
ing conditions are still inadequate
but are becoming better.
Improvement in employment in

ENCOUNTER GAS.

Inc workers have en-
countered much gas, how
ever, leading to the belief
that the explosion was from
this cause, and that there is
little hope of rescuing alive
any of the victims of the
deadly afterdamp.
While hundreds of women
and children, families of the
buried men, lowered about
the mouth of the mine DUR
ing the night and early to-
day, quiet prevailed.
Only the soft moaning and
weeping of the widowed
women and orphaned chill
dren broke the stern silence
of the rescue workers who
were grimly fighting their
way through piles of debris
to the inner mine where the
124 men were entombed.
Thursdays disaster is the
first serious accident expert
enced since October, 1913,
when an explosion in Stag
Canon mine, also owned by the
Phelps Dodge Corporation,
took the lives of 263 men,
Only twenty-three, who were
in the far part of the mine,
escaped the explosion with
their lives. Fire broke out in
the Stag Canon Immediately
following the 1913 explosion,
but company officials today
declared there was little dan
ger of that horror being added
to yesterdays disaster.
Air Apparatus Repaired.
Company officials today de-
clared that fire bosses found no
unusual conditions in the mine
during their inspection the night
before the explosion. They an
nounced the ventilating fan had
not been damaged and that
restoration of the ventilating sys-
TEN proceeded rapidly by the
construction of temporary stop
pings and cross cuts. In this
manner the workers were enabled
to take in fresh air as they pene-
trated the mine.
Many falls and considerable
debris were encountered as far
as the exploration had proceeded
up to z o'clock this morning. At
that hour the rescuers had
reached a depth of nearly one
mile underground, but were still
some distance from the point of
explosion.
Reach Spot Late Today.
At Z o'clock word came from the
rescue workers that the spot where
the men were at work when the
blast occurred would not be reached
until late in the day and because
of the deadly fumes that permeated
the mine following the explosion
little hope was entertained by the
Eescurers that any of the miners
would be found alive.
