CREWS WORK
DESPERATELY
TO ENTER MINE
Hope About Given Up That
Any of Entombed Miners e
Will be Found Alive

\ Bingham, Utah, Oct. 1S.--For 81
hours six crews working in relays
have been striving to penetrate
the mammoth pile of rock and
mine timbers which has entom'bed
md probably killed four workmen
and the superintendent of the
Utah-Apex Metal mine. No trace
of the men has been found and
mine officials say 1t will 'be mir
acle if the entombed men are taken
out alive.
The body OF foreman Dan Egan,
who was nearest to the level when
the cave-in occurred, was recover
ed yesterday.
At midnight the rescue crew had
made sufficient headway to assure
them that the cavern was greater
than they thought and that posi-
bility that men was/above the fall
en- rock was very scant. Unless
other caveins occurred 1t Is hoped
to have the slope cleared today.

The Ku Klux Klan issue, which de.

PRESIDENCY WOULD SPOIL FORD

New York, Oct. 1s.-Thomas A..
Edison, electrical wizard, in one Of
the first interviews he has granted
lnewspapert,en, spoke Of the prcsi-
dental possibilities of his friend,
Henry Ford, and declared that it
would spoil a good man" if the ma
ton sent Ford to the White House.
|. Mr.. Edison expressed the opinion
that the automobile manufacturer
was more valuable to the nation as q
private citizen and then turned to
the prediction made recently by
Charles P. Steinmetz, inventor, con-
nected with the General Electric
company, that electricity eventually
would reduce the working day to
four hours. With this opinion Mr..
Edison agreed.
Mr.. Edison, was not sure that the
four hour day would be good thing
for the nation. He expressed fear
that too large a leisure class would
be created and that this would have
a bad effect, particularly on the
young.
Within very few years, he said
coal would be transformed into elec.
trical energy at the mines and dis.
tributed throughout the country ir

Five of the Salvation Army
workers WHO were assigned part
of the business district have not
reported to headquarters at the

way short of the desired quota
Grand Forks has just gone over the
top for the Salvation Army will,
over $4,000 subscribed, it was said
at headquarters today.
A bit of good news came to head
quarters this morning. Judge
Nuessle not only f,un'ctioned 1909
in the solicitation but went further
and sent a letter to the Washburn
Lignite Coal co. suggesting that II
would be fine thing for that
Company to donate car load Oi
coal. A reply approving the good
work of the Army has been re-
ceived, advising that the Company
would be glad to deliver car load
of coal to the Army and would in
struct their local manager to de-
liver same wherever 1t may
be needed. The letter was signed
by w. P. Macomber.

mention the conference OF Pres

I don't know how soon,' he said, "but
I am not sure that it will be a good
thing. II will create much leisure,
and it all depends on what people
will do with their idle hours"
The radio, he believed, has been
the greatest modern factor in caus-
ing young people to think. 1t has
widened the range Of knowledge. he
said, and will continue to do so.
Musical and other radio entertain
ment features, in his opinion, sooner
or later, will be eliminated from pro
grams, which will be confined more
to speeches and market quotations.
He characterized the entertainment
! programs as fads which would not
live, largely because Of the difiicul-
ties Of perfect transmission.
