MAKING ROADS SAFER

The rounding of the corner. on
the road a mile west Of Askov is
a big improvement and calls TO
mind again the dangerous cor
ner four miles south of there or
three miles east Of Sandstone on
the same road-the Elwell. Com
ing from the north one drives up
q Hill and just as you are at the
top OF it there is a little decline
and then suddenly the sharp
turn. The road does not contin-
ue south at that point and one
has to turn either east or west
and il is impossible TO see If
any teams or cars are approach
ing on account Of the cut in the
hill. The east and west road is
graded up considerable at that
point 40 should IL be necessary
for one coming from the north
10 continue southwark (where
there is no road) in order to
avoid an accident he would find
ID rough shedding as there is a
big drop-off. II almost seems
strange that there has never
been any real big accident at that
corner. If the corner was round
ed TO avoid some Of the hill and
the sudden drop-off it would
make II much safer. Il would be
a good investment for the county
to make. Several other corners
on the 30-mile stretch of Elwell
road from Sandstone to Nicker-
son might be rounded off TO good
advantage.

A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE

The great Worlds Series base
ball games have come and gone
and IL was surely a hummer. The
great ace of pitchers, Walter
Johnson, with the Washington
team, went down to defeat in the
final game after having won two
Of his Worlds Series games. A
clean sportsman, one who never
growls or kicks on umpircs' de-
cisions, Sir Walter as he is call
ed by sport writers. is well liked
by fans all over and even the
Pittsburgh fans, anxious of
course that their home team
should win and "tickled pink"
with the final victory. voiced only
enc regret and that was that il
was Walter Johnson they should.
win against. Johnson is 80 years
old, has been in big league base
ball for 10 years and is still go-
ing at top speed. About his
training he says he keeps in
form by never getting out Of
form.
The players on the two teams
fortunate enough to take part in
the Worlds Series games also
share in the gate receipts at
those games-the winners get
ting the biggest percentage.
There are always some folks
ready to believe that the play
ers try to drag it out 10 be sew
en- games in order that the gate
receipts may be swelled. The
team securing four games wins
the series. When four games had
been played this year Washing
ton had three and Pittsburgh
one. II Washington could have
copied the fifth game played
and thus cinched the series we
believe they would have done il.
They are not taking any chances
for il they did they were badly
fooled this year. They lost the
fifth, sixth and seventh games in
row-and the series When
Sir Walter is up to pitch he
pitches 10 win and maintain his
record; when any player is up 10
bat he bats to make a safe hit
if possible, and so il is with field
ing. all constantly trying to do
their best. If they don't do
their best they don't stay in
big league base ball. Remember
what happened to some of the
Chicago Cub players eleven
years ago. They didn't do their
best. even tried to throw games,
and that was outside Of the
Worlds Series. Those players
are still suffering for it. They
have not played in league base
ball since.
Those in charge did something
then and are doing something
right along TO keep base ball
clean and above manipulation by
gamblers and that is the reason
the sport is a mighty good one
and is thoroughly enjoyed by mil
lions Of people.
In the recent series Washing
ton had a total Of nine errors in
the seven games and out Of those

LEAGUE To TAKE
DISARMAMENT
PLANS Up
Council Is Urged to Invite
United States and Russia
to Conference

GENEVA, Dec. 5.-Disarmament
will be the dominant issue before
the League of Nations Council
when it meets Monday, according
to indications today following pre-
liminary discussions OF the question
by a special league committee.
Upon the recommendation OF the
committee 1t is expected that the
League Council will decide to invite
both the United States and Russia
to participate In the preliminary
discussions, and until these two ma
tons have agreed to come into the
discussions no definite action is
expected.
The French have announced very
definite proposals for disarmament
which they have, and these plans
do not meet with British approval,
and Great Britain wants the sup
port of the United States in oppos-
ing them.
France will suggest that all the
armed forces Of the League Of Ma
tons be considered as great
united army, and then it will pro-
pose that no integral part of this
unified army-the army forces of
any one nation-shall be larger
than the remainder Of the unified
army.

overcome and were missing for a
time. They were brought out early
this morning.
Captain John e. Cutshaw. of the
Denver fire department, were
gassed or injured. Cutshaws con-
dition is said to be critical.
Besides the twelve rescue workers
who actually went into the gas
filled tunnel, 100 men worked
feverishiy from o'clock yesterday
morning until early today clearing
away debris from the entrance.
The first Of the imprisoned miners
was brought to the surface AT 10

was carried on steadily, despite q
growing danger from gas, and III
teen others were soon brought TO

Fireman Jansen. rescue worker,
was overcome by gas last night and
was brought to the surface.
Jansen, whose efforts were de-

dropped to the ground soon after

At that time poisonous vapors
were spreading with such rapldity
that the the rescuers were in as
much danger as the men they were
seeking TO save.
Workers dug a forty-foot emer-

miners were.
Two hundred feet away from the

trapped men.
Walter Swanson was the first
miner brought out. He was hoistcd
to the surface in q bucket.
Dangerous gas was reported in

HUGE RUM RING
EXPOSURE IS
GROWING
Authorities Expect More IN
dictments Through Coast
Guard Confession
BY international News Service


NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The Fed
ersl grand jury will begin, on Mon
day sweeping investigation Of
the activities Of the Dryer bootleg
ring, termed the biggest rum ring
in the country.
United States Attorney Emory
r. Buckner expects that this in
vestigation will result in the in
dictment Of many more than the
forty-three men for whom war
rants were issued on Thursday.
Police May Be Accused
/ Following the confession Of a
member of the coast guard, de-
scrfbing the manner in which the
rum syndicate controlled the coast
guard men and boats, officials
feared that even the police might
be implicated In the widespread cor.
ruption caused by the brides Of the
rum runners.
Buckner charges that the rum
ring has become 1.-THE greatest
liquor conspiracy in the history of
prohibition enforcement" under the
leadership of William Dryer, its
master mind.

who would testify that Dwyer
boosted he could land liquor as

helped the rum runners transport
liquor to Broadway cafes may In

Buckner estimated that the
profits of the ring were nearly $780,

as first reported.
Federal officials today were seek.
ing Tony Casino, believed to have
been one OF Dryers chief neuten-
ants. He, with many others,
evaded arrest yesterday.
Officials believed that the boot

warned by some one in Dryers
shore organization which 10 be.
lieved to consist " enforcement
agents, road men" and possibly
city employees.
Coast guards acting as go-be
tweens for the rum ring and the
boats were not only bribed, but
were lavishly entertained in supper
clubs when in New York, officials
declare.
They wined and dined with beau
