REV. H. BROWNE
TALKS TO CLASS
School Baccalaureate Services
Impress Grads and Large
Audience Sunday.

Using the parable Of the five talents
the Rev. H. r. Browne in his sermon
TO the graduating class and a large
audience at the Baccalaureate services
at the Washington Auditorium Sunday
evening, brought the parable up to this
modern day.
He used it TO accentuate the subject
Of his talk to the class in particular
when he addressed them on What Are
You Coming to Do About It?"
He stated that the teachings as pro-
mulgated by Jesus to his disciples and
his followers had been somewhat twist
ed in this latter day and that instead of
ito those that have, shall be given and
those that have not shall have that
taken from them" had been changed
TO take from those that have and
give to those who have not"
He began his address by congratula-
ting the class and stated he considered
it privilege to talk to them He said
that in no other country was it possible
TO take advantage of the opportunity
TO secure an education; a spirit that
made it compulsory to secure an edu-
cation; a spirit that determines no
child shall be ignorant; a spirit that
spares no expense to make this posi-
bic and he questioned the group, What
Are You Going to Do About It?"
The program was opened by the
High School Orchestra playing the pro-
cesSional march to the strains of which
the class marched to the seats assigned
them in the auditorium The Rev.
Browne then gave the invocation after
which the mixed chorus under the di-
rection of Miss Julia Keefe sang Listen
to the Lambs"
The girls glee club sang My Greed"
and the Rev. Browne made the ad-
dress. America the Beautiful was
sung by the class and audience. The
orchestra played Largo" from "Xer-
xes,' a soothing tone selection render
ed in an artistic manner The benedic-
ton was followed by the occasional
Coronation" during which the audience
stood at attention while the graduating
class marched from the room.

I Uo Miners Killed bv
Underground Caue-in
at Local Mine Friday
John Kovach and Anthony
Kramer Killed by Fall
of Mud and Ore.
BODIES RECOVERED
Funerals for Victims Held
From Catholic Church
Monday, Tuesday.

Like wldflre the news spread through
the city on Friday evening that two
men had been trapped in cave-in at
the Pioneer 18th level and were in all
probability killed by the heavy, muddy
ore which had let loose and engulfed
John Kovach and Anthony Kramer.
Emil johnson, a trammer, working
on the level gave the alarm. The tram
mer was working at the open chute
, which handled the ore mined by the
two men. The ore and dirt rushed
down in such quantities TO show that
all was not right UP above Officials
We're notified and the investigation dis
closed the cave and the tragedy.
1t was also disclosed that one of the
men was held fast in the ladder way,
his feet showing to the rescue crew.
The theory is advanced that he had at
tempted to escape and was caught in
the ladderway. This theory was later
substantiated when the body was re-
covered
The crews worked tirelessly and as
rapidly as possible to extricate the man
in the ladder way and to reach the
other man short distance away.
Headway in the wet ground was slow
as it was necessary to construct a flat
raise and timber the same as progress
was made.
Under the direction of B. o. Strachan,
superintendent of the mine, and others
Of his staff, the rescue work was pushed
with all possible speed, necessarily slow,
owing to the conditions and the danger
Of another cave-in.
After frantically laboring all night
the crew released the body of Kovach
at about s O'Clock the following morn
ing. The body was held in the ladder
way by the weight Of a large mass of
ore. This ladderway leads up from the
main drift on the 1900 foot level
through a small opening into the room
where the two men were working.
The remains Of Kovach could not
Immediately be identified His body
was crushed to an unrecognizable mass,
Identification being made by his two
sons who did so by some dental work
they recognized. The remains were
taken to the Fenske Mortuary.
1t required until eight O'Clock in the
evening Of Friday to clear the debris
and uncover the body of Anthony
Kramer, the other man with Kovach
in the accident. Like his partner,
Kramer also was badly mashed. The
remains were taken to the Ely Mortu-
airy where they were prepared for burial.
Supt. Strachan had given way to his
mining captain, Edward Hellberg, at
noon after having directed work from
around 8 O'Clock the evening before.
Capt. Hellberg and crews recovered the
Kramer body at O'Clock, twenty-four
hours after the accident.
The work at the Pioneer had stopped

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Governor Benson somewhat
put his foot in it when in his
Memorial Day proclamation he
asked the country not to honor
the soldier and sailor dead but
to honor "the heroes of peace,
policemen, farmers, firemen
and factory workers, killed in
the pursuit of their duties"
The American Legion, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, and
other patriotic organizations,
resent the governors attitude.
Memorial Day is not for the
purpose of glorifying war but
to pay homage to heroes who
fell in the wars fought by this
country. While war is alb.
horrent to the living, it never.
theless is the duty to venerate
its victims, men who gave their
lives, limbs or sight to a hor.
rible business because then
country needed them.

MD. DELEGATES
FAIL TO AGREE
ON RELIEF BILL

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 6.-Tne
House and Senate today we're
wrangling over relief legislation
with only a few minor differences
standing between them, while
leaders urged the early enactment
of a relief program to save further
expense to the State.
The House is standing on its
program calling for per cent
income tax, levy on pin-ball ma
chimes, and other features all Of
which with the exception Of the
first two named are agreeable to
the Senate.
The Senate stubbornly refused
to move from it's stand, which re-
quired a one-half of l per cent in
come tax, a utilities tax, and no
tax on pin-ball machines.
Compromise Fails
Senator J. Allan Coad Cd OF
st. Mary's, majority floor leader
of the Senate, and Delegate Kent
R. Mullikin CD of Prince Georges,
majority floor leader on the House,
failed yesterday to bring the two
bodies together when their efforts
were nullifield by the resistance
of Speaker Emanuel Gorfine CD
of Baltimore City, who insists the
Senate adopt the House program
in toto.
1t appears possible that the
House might accept a modified
utilities tax which was passed by
the Senate and called for a one
per cent levy on telephones, tele-
grams, electric light and gas,
eventually to be passed to the
consumer.
Real Estate Tax
The Senate was also consider
ing the enactment of 2-cent tax,
per 500 valuation, on real estate.
This tax would take the place of
the pin ball machines license fee
which the upper chamber has
eliminated. The House of Dele
gates, judging by the sentiment
of the various members, would be
slow to accept any such proviso.
Hopes for an early adjournment
faded today as the result of these
developments. House and Senate
leaders now fear the session will
go into next week.
