UPA TREE

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. o.
Archie, that aggravating alligator,
had the Paterson city council up a
tree today.
Archie escaped from the city zoo
three weeks ago, was caught in the
Passaic river by Charles Sisko after
he had been variously identified by
bathers as a shark, a whale and a
turtle, and is now prisoner in Sis
Kos back yard.
Sisko demands a $50 reward for
catching and feeding Archie.
The city has no alligator reward
fund.
The Law
Council was informed by the cor
poration counsel that Archie can be
redeemed on a writ of replevin If he
can be identified as city property.
That's where the tree comes in,
or would have come in if there had
been one to eclimb when the heads
of the park board called at Sisko's
back yard to identify the alligator
The reptile, kept in a wooden cage
by Sisko, either was so glad to see
the municipal emissaries that he
couldn't restrain himself, or he
didn't like their looks. He f1icked
his tail vigorously, the bars of the
cage smashed and the emissaries
hastily sought safer ground.
Not Archie
"That," said Edward Sperry,
president Of the park board,
Doesn't seem like Archie. Archie
was nice, quiet alligator"
"Still, it looks like Archie argued
Robert McCrowe, superintendent Of
parks. -Four legs, two eyes long
tail-Everything."
1T may or may not be your
alligator" interposed Sisko, "but l
want my fifty or he stays here"
The municipal delegation left to
report back to city council. If it
is found that Arches footprints are
on file in the mud of his former
home, the thing may be easy.

33 MEN TRAPPED

LOCKWOOD, Tenn, Oct. 4.-(AP)-
An explosion in the Roane Iron com
panys mine here today trapped APP
proximately S3 men underground and
more than eight hours later the fate
of all but four remained undetermined.
Rescue parties were organized as soon
as possible after the explosion and
started efforts to reach the scene of
the blast, some three miles back from
the entrance.
With one man known to have been
killed, three others injured perhaps
fatally, grave fears were expressed for
the safety of the remaining 20 miners
thought to have been working in the
shaft at the time. Early reports that
IS men were in the entry were said to
have been exaggerated.

CHINESE TROOPS
KILLED MONDAY

HANEOW, Oct. 4-(AP)-Rendered
desperate by hunger, 500 soldiers OF
the northern troops garrisoning Wu-
chang flung themselves today at the
besieging Cantonese and were moved
down by machine gun fire. Those who
were not killed in the first sprays Of
bullets attempted to re-enter the city,
but it's gates were held closed against
them and all are believed to have per-
ished.
Wuchang, blockaded more than r
month by the Cantonese armies, is be-
ing starved into submission. Food was
reported exhausted several days ago
for civilians and the meager supply of
the soldiers is said to be gone also.
Women and children are suffering with
the combatants, for defenders of tile
acity, breaking an agreement to permit
their removal, fired last Friday upon
river boats bearing the Red Cross en-
blem which were sent from Hankow to
bring them away. Whether Wuchang
can hold out until relieved is prob
lematical
Several days ago the troops of the
defenders ally, Marshal Sun Chuan-
Fang of the eastern provinces, reached
Hwanchow, 35 miles down the Yangzte
river, in their march to Wuchang If

Outstanding among the tasks set

of President William Green were these:

unions
TO continue vigorous national cam

encourage cooperation between work.
ers and management in the conduct Of
industry with a view to reducing pro-
duction costs for the benefit of all.
Oppose rapidly developing senti-
ment for the abolition of the direct
primary system.
Resist without quarter the sub

pathizers within the ranks of American
labor
! Stimulate agricultural elements to a
keener appreciation of the necessities
of cooperative organization for i'm
provement of the farmers position.
Work for the five day week of 40
hours throughout American industry.
Approximately 500 delegates, includ-

Mormon Speaker Declares
Discovery of America Was
Gods Way to Set Up Church

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 4. =
(AP)-The discover yof American by
Columbus and the signing of the Dec
laration of independence was declared
to have been Gods way of establishing
the true religion'-that of the Latter
Day Saints (Mormon) by Apostle Orson
f. Whitney at the semi-annual con-
ference of the church here today,
Apostle whitney quoted at length
from the Declaration of independence
and compared the government of the
United States to the government of his
church. 1.-The deeds of Alexander the
Great in carrying the Greek Language
to many countries of the world were
also linke dwith the destiny of the
Latter Day Saints religion on this
continent in bringing to a consumma-
tion the cause of Christ by these peo-
ple,' he said.
