r. L. (Slim) Jones, new claimant OF
the buried alive" championship, was
the .happiest guy in the world" as he
lay in bed in Emergency Hospital today
recuperating from the effects of a 62-
day stay in a tin-jacketed coffin six
feet underground.
Slim, who halls from Richmond, was
dug out of his BladenSburg, Md, grave
last night to receive the acclaim of a
crowd of about 1,0o0-most of whom
had paid rs cents each for the privilege
of witnessing his resurrection"
Under auspices of the Blandensburg
Volunteer Fire Department, Slim was
buried near the Peace Cross, at the
intersection of the Washington-Balti-
more Boulevard and the Defense High
way, So days ago. Since then. thou
sands of curious had paid 10 cents each
to peek at him through a chimney
like. tube as he lay IN his coffin, waiting
for time to pass.
And he kept right on doing the same
thing last night, during the three hours
that it took to get him out of his grave.
For while, 1t looked as though he
might not get out-the coffin was
wedged tight, and it required the COM
bined efforts of nearly every member
Of the Bladensburg Fire Rescue Squad,
working under the direction of Chief
Andrew Gasch, to bring him to the
surface.
As the firemen pulled at the coffin,
DR.. Oscar Lavine, squad physician, and
DR.. w. c. Tankersly, 46l1 Georgia
avenue, administered stimulants. Then.

after he finally had been lifted from
the coffin, the physicians decided to

said he was in a state of exhaustion.
But Slim didn't mind that He had
beaten his previous record of 38 days
established at Annapolis, and he had
outstayed a competitor, who had been
placed in a New Jersey grave at about

seemed almost frigid to Slim, who ha6

SUGAR men ADOPT
PRICE-LIFTNG PLAN
Quota System Proposed to Stabilize
Quotations at Higher
Level.

BY the Associated Press.
Leaders of the sugar industry yester-
day reached definite agreement to
stabilize prices at higher level through
a quota system. Subcommittee meet
ings finally surmounted a number of
obstacles and reported to the full Steer-
ing Committee with instructions to pro-
coed at once to the drafting of a con-
crete plan.
The Steering Committee, upon which
sat representatives of domestic growers
and ref1ners, as well as those from the
Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rico. was
named at conference of key men in
the sugar industry held Tuesday under
the auspices of the Agricultural Ad-
JuStment Administration.
quota figures now are being prepared
by the subcommittee, which has been
divided into two groups for this purpose.
DR.. John Lee Coulter, member of the
Tariff Commission, who is acting for
the farm administrators in helping to
prepare the agreement, said that there
was little spread between quota figures
suggested by the various elements in the
industry. Price-f1xing, officials says,
is not contemplated.
The full committee is to meet again
Monday to consider the plan if it is
ready by then. Approval of the full
committee would send the agreement to
Secretary Wallace, to have him order
public hearings upon it.

C0LORFUL CAREER
OF FIREMAN ENDED
E. E. Padget, With Heroic Record
in 33 Years, Retires From
Department.

The District Fire Department lost one
of its heroes by retirement last night.
Ernest E. Padgett, who was one Of
the most decorated and most frequently
injurd men on the force, voluntarily
ended a spectacular 33-year career, be-
cause he was tired"
At midnight Padgett finished his last
watch at No. 25 Engine Company, laid
down the blue regalia he had worn since
the days of horse drawn fire apparatus,
and returned to his home at 1006 Tenth
street southeast. With him he took
decorations reminiscent of thrilling
days.
The man of whom Fire Chief George
S. Watson says "he was an old-time
fireman-one who knew no danger"
had not long been in the department
when he gained his first laurels. In
1904 he saved the lives of two women
in a blaze at the old Franklin Building.
and subsequently was awarded a valor
medal.
Four years later he was commended
again-for catching burglar. His
method was simple. He knocked the
man cold, with blow so powerful the
thugs teeth went clear through Pad
gett's hand to the bone.
Another outstanding achievement of
Padgett's was recognized in 1923, when
he was awarded ribbon for his excel
lent work in the great Knickerbocker
Theater disaster.
During his eventful years as a fire
fighter, Padgett has been injured al
most as many times as any man in the
department There are II instances of
injury listed on his record.
