FRANTIC EFFORT

Two Men Missing; Damage Of
Million AIready-6,ooo Min
ers Out Of Work.

SCRANTON, Pa, April S.-with
damage estimated at more than a
million dollars already. officials Of
the Glen Alden Coal Company
spared no effort or expense today
in attempting to change the course
Of the Laclawanna River, which
late yesterday broke into the. Dodge
mine and flooded five other big
colleries, throwing 5000 men out Of
work.
Two men are missing in the
mine flood, considered by mining
men one OF the most serious in the
history Of the anthracite coal region.
The missing men are Simon
Jones, fifty-five; Arthur Morgan,
fifty. They are believed to have
been drowned and swept away by
the great wall Of water which
s1rged into the mines.
Today 500 men. aided by steam
shovels, automobile trucks and
mules, continued their desperate eff.
forts to swing the swollen Lacka.
wanna back to its natural course.
Water is rushing into the mines
through the great opening in the
Dodge mine at an estimated rata
OF 100000 gallons per minute. and
the lower veins Of six big mining
operations are under water.
The latest plan being entertained
by officials Of the Glen Alden Com.
pany is to run a freight train into
the river to check the flood.

DISTRICT MUST STAND
SUIT FOR FALL IN SEWER

Justice Robb of the Court of Ap.
peals has held that the District
OF Columbia may not avoid liability
for failure to keep a public street
in a reasonably safe condition by
asserting that the unsafe condition
was the result Of the exercise Sof a
discretionary power or governmental
function. The decision was rendered
in a suit brought ten years ago by
John Robert Stephenson to recover
for injuries sustained in 1914, when
his foot was caught Sin the opening
OF a sewer. 1t was shown that
two years previously he had fallen
into the same sewer The case is
remanded with directions to award
a new trial.

RUSSELL WILL LECTURE
ON EUROPE'S CHAOS

Bertrand Russell. noted British
author and scientist, will talk on
Chaos in Europe Saturday at a
dinner that is to be given by the
Penguin Club and the League for
Industrial Democracy at the City
Club.
Mr.. Russell's speech Saturday will
be his only one in this city. His
arrival in this country last week
created much interest because Of
his close connection with the present
British government and because of
his services as professor at Picking
University, where he went at the
request of the Chinese government.
His work at the Picking University
is believed to have had considerable
weight in the attitude taken by
other nations in regard to China.

detection in November. 1922. by an.
proximately 5000 votes.
Special Election Results.
At the special election the returns
revealed that Bloom received 1900
votes and Chandler 17,71S, a mar
gin Of 191 in Blooms favor. On a
recount conducted under Congress
sional direction, Blooms plurality
was reduced to 1876. On an investi-
cation of the disputed ballots by the
Congressional elections committee
Blooms plurality was increased to
las.
This plurality does not take into
consideration 1872 votes which were
voided by the election officers of
New York on the technical ground
that they had not been marked
strictly in accordance with the cleo.
ton law. There were only three
names on the special election ballot
The voters erred, it was claimed,
in putting the cross on the wrong
side Of the candidates names in
stead of in the square to the left
of the name, as the law required.
These ballots, however, 1t is as
serted, plainly indicate that 59S Of
these voters intended to vote for
Bloom and 1874 for Chandler.
Congress may, under notable pre-
cedents, it is declared, go behind the
action Of State election officers and
determine the intention Of the
voters who cast these 762 ballots.
II cognizance Of this intention is
taken, 1t is asserted, Mr.. Blooms
plurality will be increased by 484.
His Doctrine Recalled.
Mr.. Chandler was a member of
the election committee in the Sixty
third Congress which laid down the
doctrine that "the House can go
behind the ballot to ascertain the
intention Of the voter"
The original returns showed Bloom
was elected by a plurality Of 191.
The recount and examination of the
ballots by the Congressional Com.
mittee showed he was elected by
145. In the three districts the
majority sof the Committee would
throw out, Bloom received $50 votes
and Chandler 1877. II all these
voters are DISTINGUISHED Bloom
would suffer a net loss of 369, and
Chandler would thereby upset
Blooms majority Of las with a
majority of 224. But If the inten.
ton of the voter is accepted by the
House and the 1872 votes voided on
technical grounds by the New
York election officers are validated,
Bloom wDuld gain 434 votes and
take the lead over Chandler by 21O,
even without the three districts the
majority Of the committee would
throw out.
Should the House refuse to dis.
franchise the voters in these three
districts and also allow to be
counted the 762 votes voided on
technicalities. Mr.. Bloom would be
shown to have been elected by a
plurality of $40.
