100 MINERS ENTOMBED
IN WEST VIRGINIA MINE

s WHEELING, w. Va, April 2S:-
More than 100 miners were entomb-
ed by an explosion in the Benwood
Mile mine of the Wheeling Steel
Corporation at Benwood, near here,
a few minutes after they went to
work this morning All entries to
the mine were blocked by falls Of
rocks and dirt Four hours after
the blast came volunteer rescuers
hurriedly assembled had been un-
able to gain entrance to the under
ground passageways.
Little hope was entertained for
the trapped miners for the mine was
on fire and choked with deadly
fumes.
At the mine it was said 125 men
went to work and that none had
escaped. The state bureau of mines
at Charleston, however, announced
that its report showed only 107 men
entombed.
The combined mine rescue power
of the U. S. government and the state
of West Virginia was rushed to the
aid of the stricken community in the
hope that some of the miners would
be brought out alive. The United
States Bureau of Mines sent the car
Holmes from Pittsburgh and was
prepared to order a car from Mary
land and another from Southern West
Virginia. The states rescue car.
stationed at Fairmont, also was sent
to the scene.
The explosion occurred about
three miles back from the drift
mouth. Scores of men, women and
children soon gathered on a slope
facing the entry. They stood in a
drizzle of rain, squirting on the res
curers who were digging frantically.

After the morning session of the

In the same building, the Belgian
diplomats maintained the strictest
silence as to what had taken place,
declaring that any information must
come from the French. whose
guests they are. From other Bel

nation that divergent viewpoints
had. been disclosed

the statement which came from
Belgian sources just after the
luncheon this noon.
In the conference NM. Theunis
and Hymans outlined the Belgian
viewpoints. urging that all speed pos

side world, tired as it is of haggling
and the continuous holding of con-

allies must agree as soon as possible

Premier Poincare. however, is said
to be not so insistent upon speeding
up the settlement now that the date
of the French elections is so near at

CHURCH ADOPTS
ON
SU n DAY MOVIE
Follows Sermon Preached
Last Night at the Simpson
Methodist Church
BY REV. Mr.. WESTC0TT
Pastor Makes Plea for 0bser-
vance of Sunday-Mayor
Called Upon to Act
BY REV. Mr.. WESTCOTT

A large and enthusiastic audience
was present last evening at Simpson
Methodist church to hear the Rev.
Wilbert Westcott deliver an address
commemorating the three-hun-
dredth anniversary of the landing of
the Huguenots in America.
His sermon was a plea for recip-
rocal tolerance. Among the things
necessary for an abiding tolerance
he claimed there must be recogni-
tion of the fact that this is a Chris
ton country. Thirty years ago the
supreme court declared that in its
spirit, its standards, its laws and its
ideals, the United States was a
Christian nation, Rev. Mr.. Westcott
said. For tolerance there must also
be a recognition of the various re-
ligious groups that compose our
citizenship and there must also be a
recognition of the religious rights oi
all our people, the pastor added.
Speaking from the Protestan
viewpoint, he said: Professionalism
believes that our present type o.
civilization is the result of the teach
ing of the truths of the Bible an6
the observance of the Christian Sab.
bath. We do not say how any mar
shall observe the Sabbath; but we
do protest against the commercials
izing the Gods Holy Day. Last Sun
day-Easter Sunday-the most sa-
cred day in the church calendar, one
of our moving picture houses ad-
vertised and ran off show in abso-
lutte violation of the state law. Such
things as this add fuel to the flames
of intolerance.
THE attitude of Professionalism in
this matter is the result of religious
belief. The Jewish religion is a
racial religion; the Catholic religion
is religion of religious authority;
while the Protestant religion is an
evangelical religion. being dependent
upon a legitimate propaganda, and
when commercialized amusements
encroach upon the Sabbath day. they
enter into competition with the
Protestant church.
1--WE claim this is an unfair COM
petition because it is an encroach-
ment upon a sacred purpose and an
encroachment upon a sacred invest
ment."
Mr.. Westcott closed his sermon
with an earnest appeal for the culti-
walton of a reciprocal tolerance
based upon the Golden Rule.
The following resolution was
unanimously adopted by rising
vote from the entire congregation:
Whereas, The holding of Sunday
entertainments to which an admis-
sion is charged is prohibited by the
laws of the state of New Jersey; and
Whereas, There have recently
been open and fragrant violations of
this law in the city of Perth Amboy;
therefore be ii
Resolved, That we the members
and friends of Simpson Methodist
Episcopal church at our regular
Sunday evening service, April 27.
1924, do respectfully call the atten-
ton of Mayor William c. Wilson to
the: violations and request that the
law be enforced without fear or IA
vor. Be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the mayor ami

Great Satisfaction .

LONDON, April 2S tBy The Asso-

and Italian acceptances of the repa-
ration experts proposals have been
read at the British foreign office
with the greatest satisfaction. As
was expected. Premier Poincare' s
reply was couched in a precaution-
airy tone. but the British view is
that there is no divergence between
the position of France and that of
the other allies that cannot be rec
onciled if any accommodating spirit
continues to be shown.
The probability of a continued
Anglo-F'rench controversy over the
procedure tho reparation commits
sion should adopt is mininized here.

EXTENT OF HAY SHORTAGE

L. L. Corey of McDonaldville has
received from his son, who has
charge OF a 400-acre ranch in Ven
tura county, California, the follow
ing newspaper account of a survey
of the hay shortage recently made
by the California Cattlemen's ASSOC
citation. The article says:
1.-THE California Cattlemen's ASSOC
citation has made public an estimate
Of the hay shortage of the Pacific
Slope states. The amounts less than
the 1923 crop are given: California,
100000 tons; Washington, $4,000;
Montana, $4,000; Idaho 691, 900;
Nevada, 10000; Utah, 100000.
Here is practically shortage of two
and a half million tons of hay at
the same time there is great short
age in range feed, and it is apparent
that difficulty will be experienced
in carrying the livestock to the next
crop"

This movement which proposes to
hold the parent responsible to soci-

the very root of the evil of criminal
childhood. The theory of the pro
posed law is that any father who is
Indifferent to the molding Of the
character of the child that he brings
into the world is amenable to the
law of the state. Parenthood is an
assumed obligation, and that obli-
cation should be met so far as it is
possible within the power of human
ability. This proposed law presents
one of Americas great and unsolved
problems in an altogether new and
commendable aspect.

FIXING RESPONSIBILITIES
OF PARENTS

A measure was introduced in the
legislature at Albany, New York,
which holds parents legally respon-
sible for the delinquency of children
under 16. This bill is said to be the
result of a warning issued by judge
when he pronounced death sentence
for the Diamond boys and their con-
federates for the murder of two
bank messengers, says the American
Educational Digest. The judge de-
clared at that time, that If parents
knew that they were to be held ac-
countable for their children's acts,
they would exercise closer protection
OF their offspring than they do. In
more than rs per cent of cases, au-
thorities agree that the delinquent
child is the victim of home environ
ment and parental Indifference. I'm
der the proposed law, parents would
be punished for any of the follow
ing causes: To permit a child to

"ME FOR MA" SLOGAN
WINS GOVERNORSHIP

Down in Texas the Democrats
have nominated a woman, Mrs. Mir
lam Ferguson, for governor after
one of the bitterest political fights
in the history of the state. In Tex
as nomination on the Democratic
ticket is equivalent to election. So
it seems the Texans having had ex-
perience in being governed by wo-
men individually, liked the process
and decided to try being governed
collectively by woman.
Under the Texas primary law in
case no candidate received a major
ity of all votes cast, the two highest
termine the result. In the first pri-
mary several weeks ago Mrs. Fer
guson was close second in field
of five candidates. In the final heat
run last Saturday Mrs. Ferguson,
backed by the support of all other
defeated candidates swept the state
by an overwhelming majority.
In the early stages of the final pri-
mary there was some question whe-
Their the Democrats would try the
experiment of naming a woman for
governor. Then over in the east
ern part of the state during a rally
of Mrs. Ferguson's supporters one
of the speakers in her behalf was
interrupted by youth who let out
a shrill yell 'Me for Ma" That set
tied it. The rallying cry was taken
up by the crowd and like waves
whipped by a hurricane it swept
across the state from border to bor-
der Mrs. Ferguson's campaign was
helped along by the indiscreet re-
mark made by her opponent that ii

Mrs. Ferguson was elected her hus-
band, who as governor was impeach-
ed and removed from Office seven
years ago, would in fact run the Of
fee, and that Mrs. Ferguson would
have nothing to say about it. Now
the majority of voters are married
men and married women. The wo-
men knew that such a statement
was preposterous on its face and the
married men, taking stock of their
own experience, arrived at the same
conclusion. Besides 1t was impossi-

OVERBO COSTING
OUR RESOURCES

AS one travels about the country
observing the flamboyant signboards
by loyal and energetic chambers of
commerce shouting to the passing
world the glories of their immediate
localities, the very extremes to which
some of them resort in an effort to
challenge the interest and attention
of the tourist, with exaggerated gen.
eralities rather than cold facts sus-
| ceptible of substantiation, suggest
to the Thoughtful observer the con-
clusion that the very superlativeness
of the claims may bring about i'm
pressions directly opposite to those
sought to be established. The sit
uation has some elements of simil-
arity to the position in which an
over Jealous member of congress
from the state of Arkansas once
found himself. In urging an appro-
priation for a public building in his
home town, the gentleman launched
into an eloquent description of the
resources of the country and the
progress and advancement of his
people. He declared with glowing
pride that in his entire district there
was not single Jail house. At this
point a member from Michigan OBJ
served that perhaps the true ex-
PLANTATION was that the "rogues were
in the majority and refused to build
one." Recovering from the jolt adj
ministered, the gentleman from Ar
kansas proceeded with his panegyric
of his own section and declared with
an eloquent burst of local pride that
in his own particular county the
number of commercial industries
had doubled within the past five
years. The member from Michigan,
with an eye for facts rather than a
fancy for flights of eloquence, again
interrupted to remark that the
statement was absolutely true as in
vestigation showed that whereas five
years ago the industries of the coun-
ty had consisted solely of one saw
mill, they now had two sawmills.
Thus it is seen that claims too |
strong to be supported by facts when |
investigation is made can only react |
unfavorably. 1t is commendable to |
seek to impress upon the minds of |
tourists and potential settlers the
real advantages that a community |
or locality may possess but no worth
while home seeker or settler has
ever yet been caught by high-sound-
ing slogans or glittering exagger-
atoms. The lesson taught the gen.
tleman from Arkansas is one that
might be learned with profit in many
communities.
