Victor Seymour Says Grocer's Candidacy and Resulting Ex-
 pose End Usefulness
ALWAYS LOYAL TO PARTY HE SAYS IN STATEMENT
Assistant Western Manager Admits
 Case of Broken Bow Man Who r Opposed Senator Probably Will 7 Make Excellent Political Fodder
 Charge He Paid Filing Fee Of l Second George Norris.

Denver, Colo Sept. 27 (UP) - Charges that Victor Seymour aided the candidacy of Grocer George W. Norris against Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska have resulted in Soymours resignation as assistant western republican senatorial man. ager.
 The resignation, in writing, was in the ohands of the western com- mittee today and awaited consid- eration of Senator Frederick Stei- wer, Oregon, vice hcairman.
 Always Loyal
 T have always been loyal to our party and its nominees and shall continue to be, and am too good a republican to stand even inferen- cially in the way of success of the ticket" wrote Seymour, who was appointed on recommendation of the republican national committee.
 The charges against Seymour were made earlier in the week dur iqg an investigation at Lirvoln, Neb., by Senator Gerald. P. Nye, chairman, and other members of the senatorial campaign investigat- ing committee.
 They were that Seymour paid the filing fee of Grocer George W. Nor ris of Broken Bow. who was ac- cused by Senator :'is of becom- ing a candidate in order to confuse voters by having two men of the same name on the ticket. It also was charged before the committee that Seymour made donations to Grocer Norris campaign, which was short lived as the Broken Bow man was ruled off the ticket be- cause he had filed too late.
 Sees Political Fuel
 While I am absolutely innocent of any wrong act and my motives have been honest and prompted only by desire to do what I thought would be for the best in terests of the people as a whole, yet I realize that the publicity which has been given the matter may be used by political eneimes unfavorably against the party" Seymour telegraphed to Senator Steiwer.

 The fact that Parker and Me Nulty failed to announce their des- tination, handicapped the hunters. Parker, although World war pilot, not used to night flying and local air men feared he had lost control of his ship in the haze that hung over Lake Erie when he took off early Wednesday.
 Nevertheless additional planes were added to the searching fleet today.

 Two strangers from Hartford and New Haven visited Marciniec's com- bination grocery store and meat market last Thursday and repre- sented themselves as being interest ed in purchasing the fixtures and merchandise.

The total amount in prizes captured
by the animals from SuSquehanna

The story of the success of Mr.. Mat

so because the animals raised on the
farms prior to his coming, less than
three years ago, were in very run

from that time on to lay the firm foun-

days Results.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOSTON, November 1.-The actual
effect of this election on business or in
vestment conditions" says the United
Business Service in its current weekly
report, will be confined to the immedi-
ate effect which Democratic and radical
gains may have on public sentiment
This election Is almost devoid OF
economic Importance, first, because the
Congress to be elected on November
will not meet until December, 1881. The
session beginning next month will be OF
the same Congress that was elected two
years ago. Secondly, in the last session
of an expiring Congress little is ever
accomplished. Lastly, the subjects upon
which action may be taken when the
new Congress meets a year from next
December are not those upon which
party lines are definitely drawn.
"They comprise branch banking,
shipping, prohibition, railroad CONSOLE
dalton, bus regulation, the possible re-
vision of allied debts and controversy
over the Farm Board In no case can
any radical or damaging legislation OF
Importance get by the White House:
Practically all important governmental
action during the rest of this admin
istration will be executive and admins
trative rather than legislative. We can
not remember q time when radical cleo
ton gains could do less damage"

Will Proceed to Ex- ecute Contracts With Open Shop Employees Unless Organized Tradesmen Respond toWork Tomorrow.
Masons, Mason Tenders and Carpenters Want New Scale of Pay Effec- tive April l - Contrac- tors Agree Not to Grant Requests.

Contractors employing union tradesmen have fatly refused to ac- cede to their demands for increased compensation under a schedule sub mitted several months ago, to be effective tomorrow.
 It is the plan of the employees to continue operations unless interrupt ed by refusal of the organized workers to go on under the present wage scale, in which eyentuality, one of their number said today, they will be faced with the necessity of com pleting present contracts by other means.
 The increases asked are: Masons, S11 to $l2 a day; carpenters, s5.50 increase to make the weekly wage $50; mason tenders, including bod carriers and mixers, s7 to s1.76 g l day.
 Several meetings of the contrac- | tors have been arranged by the New Britain Master Builders association, of which all of those employing
  union workers are members, and sub-committees of the organization have met epresentatives of each group. Their negative reports were accepted by the entire body. As result, the contractors have entered into agreements not to grant the higher compensation and have con veyed this information to repre-. sentatives of the unions. Wish to Avoid Strike
 Tony Paonessa. president of the Bricklayers' union, said this after noon that the workmen wish to avoid a walkout if possible. The bod carriers will follow the brick layers lead, he said.
 Members of the Carpenters union were unable to say what action they would take in view of the refusal oi the employers to grant them an in- crease in wages. No orders have been received from the officers, they said
 An arbitration committee has been at work for the past few weeks and 1t is expected that it will have a re. port at tomorrow nights meeting O.; the union bricklayers.

Heavy Gas Drives Sarchers Out
 Before Identifying Dead
ELEVEN MORE ENTOMBED
Rescue Squads From Department of Mines Come Upon First Explosion Victims One and a Half Miles from Entrance to Shaft.

Kettle Island, Ky, March S1 P,- The bodies of five of 16 miners en- tombed in an explosion in the Pioneer Coal company mine Satur- day were discovered by mine rescue workers today one and one-half miles from the entrance. The work CTS were forced to leave the bodies in the mine and immediately return to the surface without identifying them because of the density of the carbon monoxide gas.
 John r. Daniel, chief of the state department of mines, said today it was a practical certainty that the other Il miners also are dead. He expressed the opinion that the re- maihder of the bodies would not be reached before Wednesday, because accumulated debris caused by the explosion hampers the rescue workers.
 Gas Endangers Rescuers
 Carbon monoxide gas makes 1t extremely dangerous for rescue squads to remain near the scene of the explosion for more than few minutes. The squads are working in from four to six hour shifts, the men penetrating the mine and ther withdrawing for fresh air at inter. yals.
 The rescue squads men are at. tached to the state department ol mines, the U. S. bureau of mines and neighboring coal companies. Word was brought back a mile and half along the shaft late last night that the rescue crews were within; 200 feet of where they be- lieved the cntombed men to be, but the air was so thick with carbon monoxide that gas masks afforded sCant protection.
 All but one of the men, a boy Of IT years old, had families. The air was so dangerous that fifteen of the rescue workers wee affected last night and had to be taken to Pineville, seven miles away, to recuperate.
 Slight Hope Held Out The ~one hope held for the en tombed men was that they migh' have escaped falling debris tha1 1 followed the explosion, and erecte: l temporary walls of lumber and air. tight cloth provided in construct ing the mine, thereby excluding tho foul air that follows explosions. The blast, the origin of whicI was still undetermined, put tn: ventilating system out of order and it was hours before the hug; exhaust fan that removes the fou air was operating again.

It was con- tended that the state had wholly failed to connect the defendant with the crime" The court denied the motion.
 The defenses contention was made in the face of confessions by Lila, in which she admitted that she ous mind of the aged Nancy Bowen until she had convinced the old squaw that Mrs. Marchand was a white witch' who would send evil | spirits through the walls of the Bowen home to eXterminate the family.
 The state contended Lila in 1 famed Mrs. Bowen because she was in love with Henri Marchand, hus- band of the dead woman and an artist who specialized in Indian sub | jects. Lila had posed for him. Both she and Marchand admitted they | had been intimate-the woman be- cause of her love for him and the man because "of the professional | necessity" of having Lila pose for him.
