NEW ZEALAND

SYDNEY, Australia.-New Zea-
lands government has received an
order from Germany for the eye
teeth of red deer. Payment Of
fered is about 80 cents for a pair
OF any size or shape, but prefer
ably for diScolored cuspids of the
adult animal. Just what the teeth
are used for is not known.
The order IS welcome to the New
ZealanderS, because their red deer,
that are prolific breeders, have
become pests, living on the islands
best pastures, invading farms and
consuming crops. They threaten
the food supply of the country'S
sheep in particular. because one
deer will eat as much as two
sheep.
Introduced into New Zealand
about 100 years ago, the red deer
found the land congenial and with.
in a short period had increased
sufficiently to be hunted. Three
months-March, April and May
were set aside for the Sportsmen.
During the last four years 1OO.-
900 head have been slaughtered
by the hunters, and yet the ami
mails have thrived so that now an
estimated million of them roam
the back country. To cope with
their depredations the government
now permits the deer to be hunted
without charge and at all times.
It even pays a bonus, IN heavily
infested areas, for heads ana peItS'
which are marketable.

Ten Days

DR.. Robertson, Magill and Scad-
ding were trapped in the mine about
II p. m. on Easter Sunday, April IL
by a great slide in the main shaft
which blocked all exits.
Dr. Robertson and Mr.. Magill, a
lawyer, both of Toronto had
bought the mine only recently. 1t
had been closed for years, but the
two believed with the rs per cent
rise in the price of gold in the last
few years, it would be a profitable
investment.
They had employed Mr.. Scadding
also of Toronto, as timekeeper and
had assembled small crew to be-
gin reconditioning the mine.
From the main shaft, four hori-
zontal tunnels branched off at levels
from 80 to $50 feet. The three were
in the 141-foot level, about tc go up
to the surface after making an in
Spection trip, when much of the
main shaft gave way and was filled
with rock and other debris.
At the outset, there was little hope
for the lives of the three. It has
thought likely that they had been
killed outright by the falling rock

Washington SpeCuIates on
MCNutt'S Reference to
Political Plum.
MINT0N ENTERS PICTURE
Junior Senator May Land
on Federal Bench, Is
One Surmise.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, April %.
Speculation is rife here as
to what Gov. McNutt meant
when he indicated that a fat
Federal plum is shortly to fall
into the lap of Indiana in lieu
of his being named conven-
ton keynoter.
One surmise is that it may mean
the much desired Federal judgeship
for Senator Sherman Minton.
1t is reported here that had Gov
Henry Horner been defeated for re-
nomination in the Illinois primary
he would have been named to one of
two vacancies on the Federal Court
Of Appeals.
With his denomination, way is
paved for Senator Minton to get one
of the judgeships without sighting
Illinois it is pointed out.
AbV J0AllOA oClldbOl ID 10 dQ-
NIT that he would like such an ap-
pointment. That he would be a New
Deal judge" is indicated from his
criticism of the anti-NeW Deal de-
cisicnS of the United States Supreme
Court and his saying. after the i'm
parchment of Federal Judge Ritter
that the effect will be wholesome
since Federal judges oftentimes get
too cocky."
However, the iutting- jawed first
term Senator from Indiana would be
missed by the Administration. He
is in all their battles fulfill. And
the more he does for them the
greater are his assignments.
In addition to being a member of
such important regular committees
as Military Affairs and Interstate
Commerce, Senator Minton is one
of the leaders of the Black lobby
investigation committee.
Recently he was assigned to the
committee to investigate election eX-
penditures.

By United Press
MOOSE RIVER, N. S.,
April 23.-The coal and gold
miners of Nova Scotia,
hearty, two-fisted men all,
celebrated their victory over
death around a key of beer
today.
Each of the 100 men mad risked
his life not once but repeatedly
through many hours in Reynolds
shaft to save the lives of DR.. D. E.
Robertson and Alfred Scadding.
Since early Monday, they had
worked in shifts, with little rest be-
tween, to the point of exhaustion.
Early today they had achieved their

A keg of beer was rolled to the
center of the 80 by 25-foot room
which contains II beds, and soon
the rafters were ringing with the
songs of the countryside. After the
mugs had passed around a number
of times. they were singing God
Save the King"
What's wrong with them gold
men?" asked a grimy coal miner.
"Nuthin'," screamed the coal
miners.
And then, in a wild, shrieking
chorus, the coal miners cheered the
gold miners.
When the echoes died away, a
gold miner proposed toast to the
coal miners and the compliment was
returned.
Traditionally, coal miners look
down somewhat on gold miners, al
leging that they are less virile than
themselves. Gold miners have GER
tain prejudices against coal miners.
Hence, keen rivalry exists between
miners in this district where there
are coal and gold mines.
Critical Watchers
All during the rescue work, the
gold and coal miners watched one
another critically, looking for points
to prove the superiority of one set
of craftsmen over the other. Which
was the most courageous? Which
worked the most efficiently? At
1890 a. m. today, three men
crawled through narrow hole 141
feet down in Reynolds shaft into

Fire famed by stiff northerly
wind today destroyed two homes
and their furnishings in Mars Hill.
Opening the door from the kitch-
EN- to the front room in her one
story bungalow, Mrs. Nora Gray,
Secondary West, near Alling-st, was
driven back by flames and fled with
her son, Edsel, 7. She was placed
under care of a physician at the
home of friends.
One hundred and fifty dollars
which Mrs. Gray and her husband,
Howell Gray, had been saving for an
operation for Mrs. Gray, was lost, to-
gether with their personal belong
ings, household goods and the fam
lily car.
The fire swept south to the Jim
Carter home. Mrs. Carter and four
children with the aid of neighbors
succeeded in reScuing a few house
hold goods. A valued hunting dog,
Bob, was burned to death.
Firemen were hampered by lack of
water. Firemen had to build a dam
in creek nearby to create a water
supply. Nearly 1000 feet of hose
were used. Total loss was estimated
at $4700.

adds ABABA, April 23.-
Ethiopian forces III v.4e east, making
a desperate last stand against the
advancing Italians, were forced to
retire after three days of fierce
fighting, Ras Nassibu reported to
the government today.
Ras NaSsibu, commanding the
forces trying to protect the strategic
railroad center of Harar, reported
that there were 5000 casualties on
both sides in the fighting between
SaSa Baneh and Danena, which is
105 miles south of Harar.
News of the Ethiopian retreat
added to the confusion of people
here and heightened their con-
viction that the break up of the
empire was close at hand. Mer-
chants, foreigners and many ma
tives were fleeing the city.
Roads Are Crowded
Ras NaSsibu said that his forces
attacked the Italians positions
around Sasa Baneh and drove them
back in three days of hand hand
fighting. Then, he informed the
government, the Italians moved up
contingents of Lybian and Somali
troops and the Philippians were
forced to retire toward Dahena.
In the country north of DesSye
bandits ran wild. Warriors in the
shattered armies of defeated chief
tains roamed in battered garments,
destitute, many of them with ma
chine gun or shrapnel wounds fes-

Here in the capital old men,
women and children were crowding
the roads to the west, their homes
broken up, the able-bodied men at
the front, without hope of ever
reforming their little families.
Rich merchants strapped bags of
silver from the banks in the sad
