AGAIN CROPS UP
Wintry Blasts Revive Hopes Of
Early Mining

Philadelphia, Oct. 81 Rl--The bite
OF wintry weather with many
empty coal bins throughout the an
thracite consuming territory and
the available supply OF coal rapidly
becoming exhausted, has started
varied activities for a resumption OF
mining, which has been at a stand
still since the expiration OF the
miners working agreement on Sep
TENDER. ].
Pressure Is being brought TO bear
on both the operators and leaders OF
the Mine Workers union for a. set
Element of the wage controversy.
Several plans we're said to have been
suggested. but SO far as could be
learned today they have met with
but little encoura cement from either
side.
Samuel D. Warmer, chairman of
the anthracite operators conference,
Yesterday told Major General
Charles W. Berry, chairman of the
New York state coal commission,
that there was no immediate pros
pect of an adjustment of the differ
ences while John L. Lewis. president
OF the United Mine Workers, declar-
ed today that the situation was "un-
changed" 80
Despite these definite statements
there was a belief in some quarters
that the wage negotiations, broken
off in Atlantic City on August 4,
would be resumed at an early, date.
No one ventured a prediction how
soon this would be. but there were
expressions of optimism from those
in close touch with the situation
who, heretofore, had held but little
hope of a settlement before the first
Of the year.
! Attention was called to the va
rious rumors of impending adjust
lnent which 1t was pointed out, an
'.s,iably have preceded the recon-
rening of the joint wage negotia-
tons committee in previous suspen-
sions. All of these rumors have
been officially denied.
Emphasis also was laid on state
ments by the Rev, John j. Curran'
rector of st. Mary's Catholic church
lin Wilkesbarre, who after confer
ence with Mr.. Lewis few days ago.
predicted that the $4,000 idle min
ers would again be at work In a
short time. The Rev. Father Cur
ran, who has been prominently iden-
lifted with the settlement of previous
hard coal suspensions, conferred
yesterday with Governor Pinchot on
1.-The persent situation. His announce
nent that the governor was plan
lining to devote "all his time and
energy. toward bringing about a re-
sumption of the wage scale confer
ences was hailed by many with sat
isfaction. The governor was instru'
mental in bringing the two sides TO-
gether in 1923. when the men re-
ceived a 10 per cent increase II
wages. No statement was forth
coming from Mr.. Pinchot today re
garding any action he might have II
mind in the present situation.
Efforts to bring the walkout TO ar

interests In the hard coal regions
where its effect is felt not only II

re .eived Thursday at the home Of DIR.

honor of the 57th anniversary of their
wedding.
The greetings came not only from all
parts of Asbury Park, but also from

parts of the country outside New Jer-
sey. During his active life as a minister,
DR.. Kidder has made a large number
of friends and admirers turnout the
country, while the life Of the aged coup
lie in Asbury Park has strengthened the
ties with others.

Kidder's nome was in Wilkes-Barre.
Shortly afterwards, Mr.. Kidder abandon
ed law as ap ospective life profession and
entered the ministry, in which he has
achieved considerable fame both as a
worker and al a writer.
His interest in building mp small mis-
Isions and lansuishing parishes brought
him to Point Pleasant, where he was
the first clergyman to hold regular
summer and winter services. He
continued there for two years, with no
fixed salary, accepting the gift of his
pa~rishioners.
He has been a resident of Asbury

able to get around. AS a result, con
gratulations upon his return to health
were generously mingled with the felici-
tations extended on the occasion of the
we'd ding anniversary.

Avon to Erect lefty

Avon's beach problem has once
again reached serious proportions in
that the boro is daily losing tons of
sand, caused by constant cutting
away as the Ocean tide whirls around
the Shark River inlet jetties and due,
also, to the prevailing south winds
which have caused q damaging cur
rent.
Commissioners William Brighton and
William Spayd, authorized the erection
Of a 150-foot low wooden Jetty to be
placed at the foot of Lincoln avenue in
an effort to prevent further loss Of
sand.
The drifting way of the sand has
been most serious at the end of the
rock base used to hold the bulkhead
that retains the gravel fll-in con-
Meeting the concrete highways of
Avon and Belmar across the Shark
River inlet bridge. The nearest jetty
a ready erected is situated at the foot
of Garfield avenue and its presence has
aided materially to prevent the deep
cutting Of the beach near there.
The county has provided the rock
thrown at the base Of the wooden
bulkhead and It'll understood win pro-
vide more to finish bulkworking the
wooden sheathing to Lincoln n

M, % years, while she slept early the
morning OF May 20 last, was officially
declared a lunaiic and unable to attend
to her oMn affairs Monday. 1t was : a
formal pro- eeding, designed to per-
init the appointment Of John T.. Mont

reaching the conclusion that Mrs.
Quaekenbush was of unsOund mind.
During the examinati n Of DIR. Carl
Pierson of the State hospital at Tren-
ton, he was asked by Judge Lawrence
IL he knew, when he released Mrs.
Quackenbush from the hospital a
week prior to the tragedy that She
had q hnmicidal tendency. DIR. Pier
son answered that he knew she had
attempted suicide just before being
committed to the hospital last Feb.
26, but not that she had threatened
Others, Judge Lawrence then advised
DIR. Pierson that the evidence to him
in making the original commitmentl Of
Mrs. Quackenbush to the state hos
pital showed that she had both at
tempted suicide and had threatened the
life of her daughter. They had been
reduced in circumstances, he said and
while neither had means of support
and were practically penniless, neither
worked and the older woman's mind
gave way and she conceived of the
idea that the death Of her daughter and
herself would solve the pr blem.
County Adjuster Montgomery said
that the small residence property
owned by Mrs. Quackenbush was
probably worth $500 and the per-
sona1 property perhaps $125 to $3.50.

Claims Moving Pictures
Cure for Seasickness

Hollywood, Cal.-The boyish type
the filming of moving pictures for ex.
hibition on ocean passenger liners as
a cure for s~easickness among passen-
gers is being conducted here by Rob-
ert G. Vignola, a director.
The cause of s~easickness, the direc-.
tor contends, is largely visual, due to
the shifting planes which characterize
the motion of a ship. The larger
ocean passenger carriers are now
equipped with exhibition cameras and
screens, and 1t is vignola's belief that
pictures can be made for exhibition on
shipboard which will counteract the
effect of the ships motion and save
the most susceptible passengers from
the horrors Of "mal de mer."
