does not function at all. Because the

up the Dunlap state police bill, and
because Pennsylvania is in fact the
classic example in the United States
of the workings of state constabu-

to look little into the record of the
American cossacks." Here it is:

81 MINERS ARE
STILL ENTOMDED
IN v. VA. MINE
ReScuerS Believe They
Will Be Found Dead

CHARLOTTESVILLE, w. Va, March
19.-The stark tragedy ever looming in
a miners everyday life staIked in this
little town today, leaving dull despair
in its wake.
Thirty-four men are still entombed
in the Bethlehem Mines corporation,
where they were caught 800 feet be-
low the surface by an explosion Tues
day night, and unless all signs found
in the mine fail, the miners will be
brought out dead, according to many
of the rescue workers.
Fire which broke out in the mine
late yesterday was holding back res
cue work today.
Fire has been discovered in one Of
the headings of the No. Al mine of the
Bethlehem Mines corporation, r. NJ.
Lambie, chief of the West Virginia
inspectors, declared tonight. He added
the blaze had not extended over a
large area and was expected to be
brought under control in a short time
The fire was encountered in the
right heading, Mr.. Lambie said, where
it is believed twenty-five of the thirty
four missing miners were working
when entombed by an explosion last
night The other twelve men are
Thought to have been working in the
left heading.
Battle Tangled Wreekaee.
Turnout the day rescue crews bat
stled with tangled wreckage and fallen
timbers which must be surmounted be
fore it can be determined whether
the imprisoned men are dead or alive
Leaders in the rescue work have
abandoned hope of reaching them to-
night. They say they did not expect
to reach that section of the mine un.
til some time tomorrow.
The mine had been penetrated tc
a depth Of about 1000 feet at that
time, with an estimate made that res
cuers had twice that distance yet
to 90.
Hope Of Workers Dwindles.
As the rescue work progressed hope
virtually faded that any OF the men
would be found alive, no signal OF
any kind having been received from
sections not yet explored. The only
possibility that some of them may
have survived hinged upon the slender
hope that they might have been able
to erect makeshift brattice work be-

STA when Raphael Abramovich tried

Joe Search told Judge Harris how
he was standing peaceably in front
OF the auditorium when a plain clothes
man seized him and started to beat
him. The detective pushed Search TO
the sidewalk and slammed him against
the back OF an automobile parked at
the curb. Search, not knowing that
the man was police officer, pro-
tested.
Seeing the detective beating the boy,
Ethel Birn and Marie Polishuk remon-
strated with him. they told Judge Har-
ris, and were Immediately arrested
and driven in the patrol wagon to the

Dr. Nelson Preparing Report on
 Long Missing Saba

Copenhagen. Dec. 21 Pl-The Queen of sheba may never have ex- lsted. but the kingdom Of Saba cer- lain did. says Doctor Ditleff Neilsen, Danish historian and philosopher.
 Dr. Nielsen will shortly issue a report Of several years study in cooperation of two foreign scientists Of soma little known finds in the Arabian desert. According to this re- port there existed in Central Arabia 2,O0O years before Christ a. culture which was by no means inferior to It's two great contemporary Asiastic cultures, namely the Egyptian and Assyrian Babylonian cultures.
 Science. says the doctor, hitherto has considered Saban riches as be- longing to the realm of fantasy, but now will have to reconsider it's views. He continues:
 The Austrian astronomer, Doc tor Glaser, 25 years ago. returned after spending l2 years in the Arabian desert living the life of the Bedouins; he brought home 2,000 specimens Of inscriptions, statues, and gold and silver coins which he had found in the sand-covered ruins of ancient cities, temples and pal aces, giving evidence that 6 highly cultured people had lived in those parts.

ROSE OF THE WORLD"
 AT IiYCEJTN

Patsy Ruth Miller. charming to the last degree, Pauline Garon, ultra attractive and debonaire Alan For rest. are at their best In Rose of the World" one of the Lyceum fea- lures now showing. The other head liner is Hoot Gibson in "The Cal gary Stampede" picture of the west which actually was filed during the Calgary rodeo and in which there is seen an actual buffalo stam- pede as well as the famous Calgary cattle stampede.
 "Ros of tn World" the current picture, is the adoption of the Kath- leen Norris novel and deals with young girl whose lover iilts her for a girl who has been reared in his own higher social class. Tn a mo- ment of broken hearted pique the discarded sweetheart marres a man she does not love. Out of this tangle of human loves and wrecked lives there arises a drama of intense in- terest and great heart appeal until, smoothly worked out, the two des- tined for each other are again united in bonds of love.
