EARLCARR0LL
FOUND GUILTY
OF PERJURY Y
Sentence Deferred For One
Week - Judge Goddard
Doubles ShOWman's Bail

New York. May R)-Earl Car
roll was found guilty today Of per-
jury in connection with the grand
jury investigating of the bathtub
party in his theatre at which Joyce
Hawley, a nude show girl, served
drinks from Il bath tub
Carroll was on trial on four counts,
two referring to the bathtub incl
dect and two tn his testimony that
no liquor was served at the party
The jury found him guilty of the
first two and not guilty Of the sec
ond two.
The jury returned its verdict at
1920, Just an hour and five minutes
after Judge Goddard had given it
the case.
Judge Goddard held Carroll in $5,-
600 bail, twice the amount he mad
been held in previously, and deferred
sentence for one week.
To Appeal Case
Carroll may receive not more than
or both on each Of the two counts
on which he was found guilty. Coun-
sci for Carroll expressed confidence
Of a reversal by the circuit court of
appeals.
He said he would make his appeal
on the ground that whether or not
any one occupied bathtub on the
stage Of the Earl Carroll theatre was
not material to the investigation be-
ing conducted by the grand jury
which was to learn whether or not
liquor had been served there.

FIVE SETS OF
BALLOTS MUST
BE PROVIDED
That Number of Party Desig.
nations Are Entitled to
Place on Ticket

Five party designations will appear
on the Nort!: Dakota primary ballot
June 30 under decision by Attorney
General George Shaver.
All five, it is explained in a letter
sent out by Secretary Of State Robert
Byrne to county auditors, are legal
ly entitled to a place on the ticket
and ballots should be provided for
each group
The five are Republican, Democrat
Farmer-Labor. Nonpartisan and La
toilette Wheeler Progressive.
Little if any call is expected for
ballots under the Nonpartisan and La
Toilette Wheeler designation since
NOnpa rtisan candidates are running
for Republican nominations and the
LaFollette- Wheeler organization faded
after the national election of 1924.
Byrne, acting on Shafer's advice,
has suggested TO county auditors that
they be guided by local conditions
and registration records in placing
orders for ballots.
The added expense Of the two
"dead" party affiliations is expected
to reach q considerable amount in
the So counties of the state.

CAUSE UNDETERMINED.
50 MEN RESCUED

Scranton. Pa, May 27-(AP)-
More than 50 men trapped in a
burning mine today were rescued
after being caught behind the
lire for several hours.
They were trapped in the Sec
Ond level Of the Mount Lookout
Mine Of the Temple Coal company
at Wyoming where fire started
between them and the shaft. A
foreman was in the group and he
led them to an air chamber
where he kept them until rescuers
reached them.
Scranton, Pa, May o7.-(P)-Fifty
to 10 anthracite mine workers are be-
lieved to be trapped behind q fire in
the Mount Lookout Mine of the
Temple Coal company at Wyoming,
near here. Five men, who managed
to fight their way through smoke,
raced to the surface and were taken
to their homes suffering from inhal-
ing smoke.
There is another opening to the
level where the fire started but as
none OF the men is known to have
left by that escape, mine officials
are fighting the flames in an effort
to reach them.
The fire started from an undeter-
mined cause in the 1l-foot vein of
the second level, about $50 feet from
the surface.
Fire Spreads Rapidly
1t started near the fire boss shan
ty and emergency hospital close to
the shaft used for hosting coal and
men. Employees Immediately fought
the flames, but despite their effordts
it spread and cut off escape. Help
from the surface was summoned,
and soon a flood of water was sent
down the shaft in many lines Of
hose.
1t was established from an en-
ploye Of the mine that there were mt
least 80 men working in the section
Of the mine in which the fire is said
to be raging.
