Washingtonians charged by the Gov

conspiracy, but the impression per-
sisted that some of them had previ-

charge some time ago.
If this should prove to be true
| and there were strong indications
that it would-the likelihood of a
fight in the local court over removal
to Florida rose up in prospect.
The usual procedure to be followed
from now on, it was explained, would
be for the papers to be sent to the

arraigned before United States
Commissioner for preliminary hear
ing. with request by the government
that they be held for removal. Order
for removal to the Florida jurisdic-
tion would have to be issued by the
court.
In case some of those persons who
were before the court here on similar

was freely predicted that they would
be prepared to make a fight against

TEN BODIES TAKEN
FROM GATES MINE
Check Shows All Others in
Explosion Reached Surface
in Safety.
BY the Associated Press.

GATES, Pa, July 26.-The bodies
night when an explosion wrecked a
section of the Gates mine of the
H. c. Frick Coke Company were
brought to the surface shortly after
dawn today. Seventy-five miners
were at work when the blast came,
and a check of the company list
showed that IS reached safety.
Coroner S. A. Baltz, who arrived
at the mines shortly after the report
of the explosion reached him at
Uniontown, remained here through
,ut the night and was prepared to-
day to order an inquest. State mine
inspectors aided him in his investi-
cation.
Twenty-S.ven Left Fatherless.
Twenty-seven children were left
fatherless as a consequences OF the
explosion, while nine women lost
their husbands. One Of the victims
was a widower
THE explosion, according to Coro-
ner Baltz, was discovered in a most
unusual manner. John Kelly a
Gates miner was returning to Gates
from Palmer, three miles away, when
he noticed a peculiar settlement of
dust on his shirt. Kelly stopped to
investigate and found that it was
coal dust. knowing that the dust
from a mine very rarely reaches the
surface, he glanced toward the mouth
of the Palmer mine and saw a cloud
of smoke and dust floating from the
shaft mouth.
Search Wrong Mine.
Kelly ran to the Palmer foreman's
Office and sounded the alarm. Ten
rescue crews donned helmets and.
believing that the Palmer workings
were on fire. they went into that
mine. Their search was fruitless.
Kelly recalled that an old tunnel con-
nected the Palmer and Gates mines
and he suggested that the trouble
was in the latter workings.
Within a few minutes the rescuers
were on their way to the Gates.
AS they reached the shaft they met
a crew of miners coming out These
miners, at work two miles from the
scene Of the explosion, knew nothing
of the blast and said they doubted
the trouble would be found in the
Gates mine. But the rescuers went
down and soon found the cave-in

BY ROBERT +. SMALL.

If Senator La Toilette and his asso-
ciateS succeed in their ambition to
obtain sufficient electoral votes to
throw the presidential election into
the House of Representatives. five Of
the sovereign American States would
find themselves unable to vote and
il would be this disability which
would make it impossible for either
President Coolidge or John w. Davis
to secure a majority vote of the 48
commonwealths.-
1t is no mere speculation that a
deadlock would ensue in the House.
1t is mathematical certainty, unless
of course some Democrat or Repub-
liCan should break away from party
affiliations sufficiently to throw some
Of the tied States into either the
Davis or Coolidge column.

a majority selection has not been

stitution provides that each State

1t is the unit rule Of the Democratic

Twenty-Five are Democrats and

New Yorks one vote would go to

The Constitution also provides that
to be successful a presidential can

1t SO happens that there are 20

Shank, the husband, is still missing
while deputy sheriffs are rounding
up the mob that attended the tarring
of Miss Dorothy Grandon by Mrs
Mary Shank. on a highway near
Myersville, Md. Thursday night.
Magistrate August T. Brust says
everybody who witnessed the episode
is equally guilty, and there is terror
in more than two scores of homes
because the penalty under the law
can mean a penitentiary sentence.
Mrs. Shank takes all the blame, but
who provided the tar and feathers
has not been explained. Besides the
wife and Miss Grandon, arrests have
included Calvin Shank, father of the
husband; Romer Shank, brother;
Harry Leatherman. A. A. Rice, Irwin

At the hearing last night Mrs.
Shank told how she had found her
husband in the company of Miss
Grandon. who came here recently
from Martinsburg, w. Va; how he
had remained away from home a
week and how she had planned and
executed her revenge. Riding out in
an automobile with some of the men
named before the court, she says she
pounced upon Miss Grandon, beat her
with a club, stripped the clothing
from her shoulders while the men
looked on and applied tar and feath-
ers.
After her struggles and with battered
and blistered body, Miss Grandon
found refuge at the home Of a farmer.

State Department Wants Assur-

Safeguarded.

State Department officials prepared
Government to take immediate meas
ures to protect American citizens in
that country from attacks and insults
from natives understood to be hostile
against foreigners as a result of the
killing of Maj. Robert Imbrie, Amer
lean vice consul at Teheran, and de-
velopments following that affair.
Decision of the Department to take
this action followed receipt of ad-
lean Minister, telling of insults to
Mrs. 1mbrie. widow of the former
consul for which young Persia n
was said to be responsible.
Spat on Woman.
According to the Minister'S dis
patches, the Persian youth grabbed
the veil worn by Mrs. Imbrie, at
tempting to tear it from her and, at
the same time. expectorating upon
her person. The reported outrage
was said to have occurred at Teheran
last Tuesday.
A native policeman. reported to
have been some distance away from
the place where Mrs. Imbrie was at
witnessed the affair, made no attempt
to protect the woman or interfere
with her assailant, the dispatches
said.
Mrs. Imbrie was riding with the
wife of one of the officers attached
to the American mission when the
outrage occurred.
Adopted Waiting Policy.
State Department officials had de-
cided to wait the completion Of the
investigation being made of the mur-
der of Maj. Imbrie before taking any
official action or attempting to fix
responsibility for the vice consuIs
death. They had received formal
apologies from the Persian govern
ment for the affair and assurances
that full and immediate punishment
would be meted out to those who par
ticipated in the crime.
Further steps, including the placing
or the Teheran district under martial
law for the protection Of foreigners,
also had been taken by the Persian
authorities. and their actions had
caused officials here to believe that
the safety of Americans and other
foreigners had been assured.
1t was made plain today, however,
that the State Department would not
tolerate without protest the situation
existing in Teheran or the possibility
of future attacks by natives upon
American citizens in Persia Notice
of its decision in this connection was
expected to be forwarded without de-.
lay to Minister Kornfeld for presen-
tation by him to the responsible off,
