27 FATHERLESS KIDDIES
Rescue Crews Do Heroic Work After Discovery Of Explosion Which Re-
 suits in Fatal Caye-in at Gates, Pa.

'
 Gates. Pa. July ?s.--The bodies of ten miners who met death last night when an explosion wrecked a section of the Gates mine of the II. c. Prick Coke company. were brought to the surface shortly after dawn today. sev- onty-hve miners were at work when the blast came. and check of the company list showed that sixty-five reached safety.
 Twenty-seven children were left fatherless as n consequence of the explosion while nine women lost their husbands. One of the victims was a widower.
 How It Was Discovered
 The explosion. according to Coron- CT 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 q peculiar settlement of dust on his shirt. Kelly stopped to inves- tigate and found 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 cloud of smoke and dust floating from the shaft mouth.

BETTING ON
PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE
Betting Commissioners Re-
port That Wagers Will
Reach $lO,OOO,OOO

New York, Oct. l5.-(A. PD- Bet
ting on the result of the Prrsiden-
tial election has become n recognize
ed and established institution in
Wall Street. and indications are this
year it will exceed all records.
Betting commissioners report that
100000 already has been wagered
on the result and that the total prob
ably will reach $l0,00O,OO0 before
election night. About 80 per cent
Of the bets placed in New York or
iginate in the metropolitan area, the
remainder being scattered through
out the country.
Inasmuch as members of the var
ious stock and commodity exchanges
are forbidden to place bets, the bulk
of the business is handled through
three or four outside houses"
These firms do not wager their own
money, but merely act as stakehold-
ers and bring the betters together,
the charge for their services being
per cent of the winnings.
Never Questioned
So far as is known, the legality
of the practice never has been ques-
toned and no complaints have ever
been registered against these firms.
They require all clients to submit
cash, certified checks or money or
ders with their bets except in last
minute transactions with firms or
individuals that are we'll known to
them, when the business is usually
done over the telephone.
1t is tradition in Wall Street
that no candidate who was ever
quoted at odds of better than 2 to
! on the eve of an election has been
defeated. In fact, rarely has the
favorite in betting been defeated. In
1916 Charles f. Hughes was to
! favorite over Woodrow Wilson UNI
til just before election day, when
the odds shortened to to 5 on
Hughes, the only Pres idential favor
ite who has failed of election in the
last 80 years. In 1920 the odds on
Harding ranged from 2l2 to /, after
his nomination, to 10 to l on the
eve of election day.
Betting this year is as compl-
Gated as it was in 1912 when there
was keen three cornered confess
for the Presidency. The commits
sioners report that many large
wagers are being withheld pending
further indications of the drift OF
political sentiment. There was prac-
tically no betting on the outcome OF
the Republican National convention
this year, because the nomination of
President Coolidge was practically
a certainty, the few wagers placed
relating to the contest for the vice
presidency. Wagers on the outcome
o. the Democratic National conven-
tion were estimated as high as ST.
OOO, 900, most of the original bets
being Of negative nature, that is
against certain candidates rather
than for specific candidates against
the field.

Reinstatement of Student Is
Among Demands

(By the A. PD-ApproXimately $50
members Of the student body Of
Clemson College, the state agricul-
tural and mechanical college Of
South Carolina, are on strike today
as a result of the refusal of college
officials to comply with demands Of
the students which were contained
in Il petition.
The chief cause of the strike was
given as the refusal to grant the
reinstatement of Ralph r. Butch"
Holohan, president of the Senior
class for one year following his
trial on a charge of drinking.
That food of better quality and
Of sufficient quantity be served in

tanned in the student petition.

Windshields used on rear seats of

OF thick plate glass and require sub
stantial metal frame to hold them in
position. This heavy construction can
be avoided by making the shield of

there will be no danger of being cut

occur.

Iron rod can also be used provided it
is painted to prevent rust. Four
pieces of h2-in. ceIluloid are cut to fit
inside of the frame. These are sewed
or glued to strips of heavy rubberized
or leatherized fabric, which is folded
over the frame and fastened by means
OF snaps.
A good adhesive for gluing celluloid
to cloth or leather is made by mixing
2 parts of shellac, 3 parts of spirits Of
camphor and parts Of alcohol. The
fittings permanently attached to the
inside of the body to hold the wind

The frame and the shield itself are
readily removable.

DECLINES SHOWN
BY ENTIRE LIST
Stock Market Ends Week
In A State Of General
Fatigue
BY WILL JOHNSON
Il eased Wire IA Tha Asa. n erHid)


NEW YORK, March 2s.-The stock
market ended the week In q state of
general fatigue. Speculative interest
was at the lowest level in many months,
with the turnover for the day at the
small figure Of 358,000 shares of stock.
Although It was a halliday session, this
amount of business hardly kept the
ticker tape moving.
There was tentative effort at q
rally in the session, but It was short
lived and extreme dullness set in. Bear
operators permitted the apathy to con-
tinue until the late trading, when they
opened their customary drive. There
was less than the usual support-the
sides.
Whole List Recedes
The sortie brought about recessions
all through the list. United States
Rubber again broke below 30, Atlantic
Refining dropped to 112, off 8 points
on top Of Fridays 5-point break. Steel,
Baldwin, Studebaker and other indus
heaviness was the tone at the close Of
week Of steadily declining prices.
One hears the query: At what levels
will the stock market stabilize itself7
Many feel that 1t certainly has more
than discounted the slowing-up In bust
ness and that some sort OF improve
ment from the persistent bear market
is about to be expected. But market
observers admit themselves In a guam
dairy on this question. The average of
so stocks Is down around S2.9, a new
low figure for the year, as compared
with the previous low record of 1854,
reached January 8. The difference be-
tween the years high and low average
amounts to more than points, the
highest having been 1856, reached Feb
ruary 4, when the business world had
much more confidence in the expected
spring pickup than Is now entertained.
Reviews Are Confusing
Following week In which prices on
staple markets have been SO greatly
upset, the weekend verdict of the mer-
camille reviews seemed confused to the
lay reader, and even the average mar
ket observer. Dun's ascribed the de-
clining commodity prices to the buyers
restricted operations for the future"
yet in many ways such curtailed OPP
erations may be the effect of antici-
pated declines rather than the cause Of
actual reaction. One Of the reviews
pointed out that nearly all reports
stress the low state of merchandise
stocks" Another argues that "poten-
tial buying power is large enough "to
guarantee good trade, even If there
are no signs Of an impending boom"
All of the reviews lay emphasis on
the large turnover in goods" the
business activity indicated by the high
total of bank exchanges, and the I'M
precendented seasonal railroad traffic.
Yet they find that purchasers remain
hesitant."

DEMAND FOR STEEL
STILL rs IRREGULAR
Market Feels Influence OF Ten
dency Toward Caution

NEW YORK, March zs.--The steel
market continues fairly active although
demand Is very irregular sad prices
showing signs of weakness. TIE rail-
roads are taking large quantities of
rails and other materials, an. tx sem
other lines the demand is quite active,
but, onthe whole, buyers are inclined
to be conservative and the market Is
feeling the influence Of the tendency
toward caution existing in other direc-
tions. Pig iron is very quiet, with
prices inclined to sag. a>
No improvement in demand for cop
per has been reported during the week.
Export business has been restricted by
further fluctuations In the London
market and foreign exchange, and buv
ers for home consumption are evidently
waiting for more settled conditions.
Meanwhile, some little selling pressure
has developed from second hands or
custom smelters; and while producers
are said TO be generally holding for
1850 to 13%c, small lots are reported
available around the 13Mc level for
electrolytic.
Tin Is weak and unsettled.
Lead is unchanged. but slightly
easier in tone.
Zinc declined in sympathy with
weakness abroad, and prices were
largely nominal In absence Of business.
