 The mine is located at Oneida, near here, and is owned by the Le- high Valley Coal company.
 Shortly after 1:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon. a cave-in caught the nine men working in No. 1 slope. Their one avenue of escape was cut off by heavy wall of coal and slag, found later to be at least 50 feet in thickness.
 It was after they had dug hole S5 feet deep from the outside that the rescuers heard the heartening call "All's we'll"
 The last IS feet of thickness was negotiated while the crowds which had gathered at the mouth of the mine for some word from the i'm prisoned men. slowly dispersed and went home.

ANTI-SMITH DEMOCRATS IN TWO CONVENTIONS

This meeting was called by Bishop James
Cannon, Jr, of the NJ. E. Church, South,
and DR.. Arthur j. Barton, prominent Bap-
list leader of the South, and other promi-
nent drys, on the day the Houston con-
vention nominated Al Smith.
Representatives from all the southern
states were present.
1t was decided to open headquarters in
Richmond, Virginia, and local organiza-
tons will be formed in Alabama, Arkansas
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi North and South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and
West Virginia. Efforts will be made to
organize in every election precinct. The
battle will be waged to preserve the puri-
ty' of the Democratic party and it was de-
cided this can be best accomplished by the
election of Herbert Hoover.
TRUE TO PRINCIPLES OF PARTY
Dr. Arthur j. Barton of Atlanta said the
activities of the anti-Smith Democrats
would certainly result in Hoover carrying
North Carolina. Florida, Oklahoma, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Tennessee, with
possibility of winning Virginia and Texas.
Speakers will be sent into all southern
states and mass meetings arranged. The
declaration adopted by the convention as
serts that the anti-Smith Democrats are
southern Democrats and that they pledge
allegiance to the principles" of the party.
The decision to fight Smith, the declara-
ton says is based upon four reasons: His
Reputation of the Houston platform on
prohibition" Ibis wet record" his selec-
ton of a wet Republican as National
Democratic chairman" and his relation
to Tammany hall" Each of these four
charges is elaborated upon and discussed
at length. Discussing Tammany, the
declaration says:
TANdMANY WON'T DO
with this element of the Democratic
party we have nothing in common. Tt

CURRENT HISTORY FOR AUGUST
DR.. Ernest H. Cherrington Answers
Favorite Wet Arguments in Cur
rent History for August

The August number of of Current His
tory carries an article by Dr. Ernest H.
Cherrington, General Secretary OF the
World League Against Alcoholism and
head of the Department of Education OF
the Anti-Saloon League of America, which
completely refutes the false and mislead-
ing claims most frequently put forth by
the enemies of prohibition. Under the
title, Answers to Favorite Wet Argu-
mentS' he discusses and ruthleSSly
analyses the weakness of the claims that
Arrests for Drunkenness Have In
creased, "Sobriety would be promoted il
the laws were modified )" takes would be
reduced if the liquor traffic were brought
back and licensed" Prohibition is sup
ported only by bootleggers, politicians,
fanatics and hypocrites," etc, etc. On
this last point DR.. Cherrington has this to
say:
ITO rank the bootlegger as a supporter
of prohibition is as mad an idea as to
rank the thief and the murderer as sup
porters of the Ten Commandments; less
mad, in fact. since the prohibition laws
have been responsible for filling hundreds
of prison cells with these same bootleg
gers"
In answer to the charge that prohibi-
ton has failed because it is violated, Doc
tor Cherrington says: eff this be true,
then murder proves the failure of the laws
against murder then the Ten Command
ments are failure, then each arrest for
violation of the traffic laws proves the
folly of such a regulation. Professor
Thomas N. Carver, of Harvard, has well
said:
"'If prohibition law were not difficult
to enforce there would be no strong reason
for having such laW-that is to say, if it
were not difficult to enforce, it would
argue that there was no strong desire to
drink liquor. The fact that there is
such widespread craving Cor liquor made
it certain that there would be widespread
and persistent efforts to violate the law.
But this widespread craving, when con-
Sidered in connection with another fact,
namely, that the general indulgence Of
this craving tends to unfit men for
functioning in an interlocking civiliza-
ton, furnishes strong reason for a pro-
hibition law and heavy expenditure for
its enforcement

SOUTH TO WAR TO LAST
DITCH
Southern Preacher in New York
Pulpit Tells EN-; Says Papers
Spread False Reports

Rev. John w Ham, pastor of the Bap-
fist Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia, in a
sermon in the First Baptist Church, New
York City, July Is, said:
The papers in this city are full of false
reports that the South is lining up for Al
Smith. There is not a shred of truth in
that. Tt is true that some pie-eating
southern politicians are coming out and
counseling the southern Democracy to
vote for Smith but that is in itself con-
cession of the growing weakness of
Smiths supporters.
The real truth is that the rank and file
of the voters south of the Mason-Dixon
line will war against Smith to the very
last ditch.

was this element which fought Tilden,
which tried to compass the defeat of
Grover Cleveland, which openly and per-
sistently knitted William Jennings Bryan,
which although electing wet Tammany AL.
E. Smith governor of New York four
times, utterly failed to deliver its vote
either to Wilson, Cox or Davis.
Its usual relationship to the Demo-

wide apart as the poles from those of our
