4 MINERS ESCAPE
 SHAFT EXPLOSION
Five Others EntOnbed By Blast,
 Believed Unhurt

JACKSONVILLE, Ky, Oct. 22.-An explosion in the mine of the Hart Coal corporation near here tonight entombed nine men, four of whom escaped through an abandoned shaft and five reported that they were 'all here," in- dicating they had escaped injury, ac- cording to officials of the company.
 The explosion occurred in shaft No 9,22O feet under ground, shortly after the day force of 250 men had left the workings. The flash from the shaft shot more than 100 feet into the air and illuminated the countryside for some distance.
 For several hours it was believed that the nine men known to be in the pits had perished. Four of them, who had been working in No. II shaft, 90 feet below the wrecked tunnel, made their way through an abandoned shaft and escaped uninjured.
 Two rescue crews were attempting to enter the workings tonight in search of the men who were said to be still in the mine. Mine operators expressed the opinion that the accident was caused by a dust explosion due to a windy shot

 NEW YORK, Oct. 22.- The Rev. Harry Emerson FOsdick, noted Mod ernist preacher, has won victory in his controversy with the Presbyterian gen eral assembly, which recently forced his resignation as associate pastor of New York's First Presbyterian church.
 The congregation of the First Pres byterian church Wednesday night ac- cepted Fosdick's resignation, in com Dliance with the request of the New York presbytery, but at the same time invited him to continue to preach in the church and passed resolution en- Enthusiastically indorsing Fosdick himself and the advanced religious theories which he had preached from the pulpit.
 Passes Buck
 The congregation has virtually thrown the whole case back to the general as- sembly, which decided that Dr. Fosdick should either become Presbyterian minister and embrace the tenets of the church or leave his Presbyterian pulpit Fosdick is a Baptist. Whether he will accept the invitation of his flock to re- main in their pulpit is not known.
 Although technically submitting to the resignation of Fosdick as an assO- ciatc minister, the congregations ex- pressions of loyalty to him was so strong that they amounted to complete vln- dicatiOn of his teachings and leadership The congregation, beside backing up the Modernist sermons of it's pastor, and urging him to continue them, expressed the hope that way might be found for him to affiliate with the church more closely than ever.
 The church unanimously passed two formal resolutions prepared and indOrsed by the officers of the church. The first was in the form of letter to Dr. Eos dick reluctantly accepting his resigna- ton and expressing complete approval of his attitude.
 The other resolution was in the form of declaration to the New York pres bytery which made the following points {:
 1.-LOyalty to the Presbyterian church was affirmed and full support promised,
 2.-OppositiOn to sectarian/ narrow ness was expressed and the action of the general assembly of 1918 designed to ef- feet union of all evangelistic clutches recalled.
 The resolutions were adopted with lit- tie argument, every speaker indorsing them on the grounds of necessity and expediency, but expressing grief and re- luctance to be forced to do so.

 Admits Lack Of Facts
 2, O'Connor admitted that he had no facts whatever that soviet Russia was contributing to the La Toilette cam paign, as he hinted in a recent speech, but only ''rumors," and he could name only one source of these rumOrs, Thom- as Healey, business agent of the Ma rine Engineers association, who had heard reports from men on ships which had been in Russia.
 8. Joseph R.

He denied that the quota for Pennsylvania was $500 600, as had been charged by La Toilette, but said the quota was only ST5,OOO. Grundy said he expect ed to raise as much more as he could. He said that both the Union League club and Manufacturers club of Phil adelphia were collecting funds for the campaign.

 Pulls Trigger DIVORCE DECREE /.

 StenOgrapher
tBy Associated Press)

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., October 22.-With the words "You broke up my home" on his lips, Chedell Simpson, A years old, fired a bullet today into the left shoulder of Col. John G. Emery, veteran of Cantigny, the Argonne and St. Mihiel and former national commander of the American Legion. The shooting was in Emery's real estate office, where Simpsons 26-year-cld wife is employed as a stenog- rapher.
 Tonight Colonel Emery is at local hospital recuperating from his wound and Simpson, against whom Mrs. Simp son recently filed suit for divorce, is in a cell charged with assault with intent to kill.
 Can Give No Reason
 Colonel Emery, who is 43 years old and married. could give no reason to- night why Simpson singled him out as the cause of his domestic troubles. The mans wife, according to Emery, has been employed in the real estate office only fortnight and he had never seen either Simpson of Mrs. Simpson before that time.
 Mrs. Simpson told me she had filed suit for divorce" Cnlonel Emery sald today. 'sFhis morriiaa Nhe came to me .a,,sE ;sssitl her ittigkasid had come to the ,.ffiee a9ain in n very intoxicated con Idition and that she was afraid of him. 1T walked into the outer office where Simpson stood and asked him what he wanted. When refused to permit him to enter my private office, where Mrs. Simpson had remained, he pulled Il gun, leyelled it at me and shouted You're a dirty dog and everybody knows 1t. You're trying to break np my home
 Fires Two Shots
 Simpson, according to Emery's story, fired two shots, the first hitting Emery in the left arm and ploughing through the flesh to the shoulder, where It stopUed. The second shot went wild. (ther persons in the office grabbed Simpson as he then aimed at Emery's heart.
 Cruelty and non-suppOrt are charged against Simpson by his wife in her d. yorce bill. He was addicted to hquor and cruel when intoxicated, she chaTgeG' An injunction was granted to Mrs. simpson, restraining her husband from visiting her pending the outcome or the divorce suit.
 Colonel Emery served as commander of the legion less than year, assuinlns office after Colonel Gailbraith was kiIed in an automobile accident.
 Physicians at the hospital removed the bullet and announced that unless infection developed Colonel Emery might expect speedy recovery. The wounded arm was the same one pierced by shrapnel and machine bullets while Colonel Emery was serving over seas. Simpson was in jail tonight un- able to get bail.

DOHENY OIL BID NOT THE HIGHEST
 WITNESS STATES
U. S. Lost Money Through Elk Hills Lease,
 He Says

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22.-Scoring an important point for the government in its suit to annul leases held by E. l.. Doheny's companies in the Elk Hills naval reserve, Commander H. A. Stuart told the court Wednesday afternoon that in his opinion bids submitted by the Pan-American Petroleum cOrpO- ration were not disadvantageous to the government as leasing proposals made by the United Oil company.
 Commander Stuart, who was con neeted with the fuel oil division Of the navy departinen under Secretary Ben by, said that when competitive bids for the drilling of P offset wells were presented, the United Oil company gave the best terms.
 But acquiesced to the wishes of the others," he said, land the leases were given to the Pan-American and Midway companies"
 Met Fall
 Commander Irwin F. Landis, inspec- tor for the Navy Patroleum Reserves in California, followed Commander Stuart on the stand and began his testimony with a description of meet ing with Secretary of the Interior Fall in San Francisco on August 5, 1921. "We discussed the drilling of the 22 offset wells at Elk Hills" he said.
 Owen Roberts, government counsel, conducted the examination of witnesses, with Senator Atlee Pomerene putting in an occasional word. Chief Defense Counsel Hogan has done all the talk ing for the oil interests.
 Actions of navy officials in planning for construction of fuel storage tanks at Peral Harbor, Honolulu, fin the in- terest of the country's defense" was de- scribed. Admiral J. H. Robinson, chief of the navy's engineering bureau, was characterized as a bargain driver" for the government and was given credit for the idea of getting revenue from Elk Hills oil to pay for the Pearl liar Dor Construction work.
 DOheny Gained Little
 Because of Admiral Robinson's zeal. DOheney did not derive any great bar gain from the Pearl Harbor contract. Hogan said. The government may take over these tanks at any moment, and the Pan-American company must sup ply government fuel at 10 per cent under market prices, he declared.
 Pomerene took his first active part in examination of witnesses by putting Graham Young, treasurer of Blair and company of New York, through lengthy questioning.
 Young said that K. l.. Doheny, Jr., came to him on the morning of Nov. 30, 1921, with the statement that he needed money.
 q asked him how much," Young testified. "Ie replied, '$1O0,O00'." The witness then told of his trip to the First National bank for the money. A check drawn on Blair and company was introduced in support of Young's state ment that he secured the cash. in bills of large denomination. "Doheny came back to my office in the afternoon and turned the money over to him, - Young testified.
