KEYSTONE STATES
POLITICS TANGLED
Grundy Holds Only clicking"
Would Have Been to Tie

PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-One
more week remains of the period for
maneuvering, or, as some politicians
call it. "blufhng," in Pennsylvania s
tangled political situation.
Next Monday is the last day for filing
petitions for the placing of candidates
names on the primary ballot, but the
candidates have one more week, or until
April z, to dicker for position in the
complicated situation or to decide to
stick or drop out.
The big fight is for United States
Senator and governor, with a long line
of other offices caught in the whirl-
pool of factionaI differences.
For the United States Senate the
principal candidates are Senator Joseph
r. Grundy, who is a candidate for the
seat which was refused to William S.
Ware, and to which Grundy was APP
pointed by the governor, and James j..
Davis, Secretary of Labor.
Grundy VIII Not Quit.
GrunQy passed through CE1J1Cdl
stage this week when his running mate,
Samuel S. Lewis, withdrew as a candi-
date for governor.
Presumably on the opposite side of
the political fence, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon has not publicly an
nounced his position in the present
political situation, but he had hereto
fore been lined up with the State or
ganization, which is back of Grumpy.
Any rumors that Senator Grundy
would compromise with the Republican
organization of Philadelphia were APP"
parently set at rest tonight by the
character of the reply the Senator
made to Thomas w. Cunningham,
sheriff of Philadelphia, and a Ware
leader.
Grundy Answers Cunningham.
when Sheriff Cunningham says that
I am due to get the greatest licking OF
my career in the approaching primary,
he has his facts badly mixed.
"I would remind Mr. Cunningham
that the only licking I could have re-
ceived would have been that which
would have come of my accepting an
alliance with himself, Charlie Hall, Sam
Salus ct al, and with all the political
mismanagement and corruption they
represent, which alliance they urged
upon me with every argument and per-
suasion they could bring to bear"

SLEMP IS NAMED
IN CONGRESS RACE
Ninth District of Virginia
Nominates Him as Candidate
for Eleventh Time.
BY the Associated Press.

BRISTOL, Va, March &c. Bascom
Slemp, Republican national committee
man from Virginia and one-time secre-
tary to President Coolidge, was nomi-
mated for Congress by ninth district
Republicans for the eleventh time this
afternoon.
Slemp's nomination places him in
opposition to John w. Flanagan, DEM
ocrat, who was nominated here in con-
vention March 20. The incumbent is
Joseph c. Shaffer, Republican, who an
nounced last week that he would not
seek denomination, and today on the
convention floor again declined to run.
The Virginia national committeeman
served the ninth district in Congress
nine terms, beginning in 1902, after the
death of his father, Campbell Siemp,
who had served two terms. In 1922
Slemp was again nominated despite his
efforts to avoid being named. Three
days after the convention he declined
the nomination.
Today Slemps nomination came after
Shaffer had risen to reiterate his re-
fusal of the nomination and the de-
feat of a resolution for the convention
to recess for 80 days and then select
a nominee.
Slemp is now on his way to Los An
geles on a business trip.

Approval, $50 to IS, Indicates Easy
Victory in Senate for Tardieu

PARIS, March 29.-After three DAYS
of discussion the French Chamber of
Deputies tonight approved the Young
plan elaborated by the experts Of the
United States and the great European
powers in Paris last Spring and finally
approved by The Hague conference.
The deputies approved the plan by the
overwhelming vote of $50 to SIS. This
practically means the acceptance Of the
plan, already approved by the German
Reichstag by France. Little opposition
is expected in the Senate.
An agreement with Germany regard
ing the occupation of the Rhineland
also was voted. The final outcome Of
the voting on both measures was never
in doubt during the debate, which was
directed for the government by Premier
Andre Tardieu.
Several hundred royalists Of the fac
ton Franchise made a hostile mani
festation in front of the Chamber of
Deputies in the evening, shouting
against the Young plan. They were
quickly dispersed by police reserves.
Thirty were arrested, but were later re-
leased.

CAR Thief WOUNDS
TACKLING PURSUER

Man Trying to Get An

A long chase and perfect foot ball
tackle failed to stop prospective auto
mobile thief last night when the thief
shot his way out of the embrace of the
tackler and disappeared into the
shadows of Potomac Park.
It was while the crowds were as
sembling to see the show at Polls

drive away the Hartman car, which was
parked in the rear of the Traffic

The fugitive broke into fast run, west
on E street. At the moment Clifton
A. Wright, 90 years old, of 1859 Sixth
street southwest, was idling along look
ing for a parking place. His wife was
in the car beside him. Without hesi-
tating a second, he jammed on his
emergency brake, leaped out and CATCH
ing up with his quarry in the rear OF
the White House brought him down
with perfect tackle.
"Let GO or I'll plug you" said the
thief. Wright held on, hoping for as
sistance from the crowd of pursuers
that had started running madly at
Hartmans cry. The thief whipped out
his gun. There was a struggle. The
gun was fred and the bullet entered
Wright's right leg below the knee, in
flicting a flesh wound.
Momentarily stunned, Wright let go
his hold and his quarry ran across the
Ellipse into Potomac Park and disap-
peared. He has not yet been arrested.
A passing motorist took Wright TO
police headquarters. Detectives sprang
into waiting cars and sped to Potomac
Park. They arrested one suspect, but
he was a student taking walk Wright
said he was not the man and the police
let him go.
Wright was taken to Emergency Hos
pital and given treatment for his
wound It was not serious, attending
physicians reported.

10 TRAPPED IN MINE
GAS POCKET BLAST;
FEAR ALL WILL DIE
Foul Air Blocks Rescue Squad
at Mouth of Kettle Is
land Tunnel.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOclateo EFeSS.
KETTLE ISLAND, KY, March 90
Sixteen men were trapped a mile and
a half back under the rugged hills in
a coal mine here late today with little
hope for their survival. The explosion
that tore out the brattice work was be-
lieved to have been caused by a gas
pocket igniting.
Kettle Island is about miles from
Pineville, and roads were said to be go
difficult that the only means Of travel
were trains and walking.
An employe at the mine commiSsary
said it was impossible to penetrate far
into the workings and that it probably
would be late tonight before any effort
could be made to reach the entombed.
Slight Hope Is Held.
The slight chance that the entombed
miners might be able to work their
way back out into some unused shaft,
build up a brattice and protect them
selves from the gas-filled air, was the
only hope held out today by officials
of the Pioneer Coal Co.
Four hundred miners might have
been affected had the explosion come
on any time but Saturday afternoon.
AS it was, only score of men were in
the mine, and four escaped. Albert
Whitley, miner who was among those
who escaped, was working near the ex-
plosion but was unable to ascertain the
cause, or tell of the extent of the dam
age.
Mine rescue squads were ordered here
at once from Harlan and Lexington.
KY, and Norton. Va, and a special
train was prepared at Pineville to
hasten their arrival. Many of the en-
tombed miners were married, and their
wives, children and other relatives clus-
tered around the mine mouth crying
for word of their fate for hours after
the explosion.
Foul Air Bars Rescue.
Foul air from the explosion prevented
local rescue squads from entering the
mine which was believed to be damned
with debris near the scene of the ex-
eplosion, but work was started at once
to brace the entrance shaft walls in
preparation for the arrival of the State
rescue squads.
At the Office of the Pioneer Coal Co.
here, the names of those entonbed
were announced as follows:
