CADIZ, Ohio, Nov. 30.--A new

One body was taken this morning
from the Ohio q Pennsylvania
Coal Co.'S Nelns mine, rocked FRI
day by an explosion, but there
were indications the remainder
would not be reached before Mon
day night or Tuesday. Until then
the exact death toll will not be
known.
No Question An Are Dead.
Company officials outwardly main
tanned the mine tradition that there
always is hope, but relatives and
mine inspector agreed with John
Owens, Ohio district United Mine
Workers Union president, that
there's no question but that all
are dead"
Besides the roof cave-ins, which
showered heavy rock around rescue
crews, deadly gas permitted the
men to work in the deep pits only
for brief periods.
Mr.. Owens blamed the explosion
on gas, declared it would not have
happened had there been an ade-
quate air supply and charged that
"this catastrophe could have been
prevented if we had adequate in
spection and regulation of mines.

Chungking Regime
Offers Reward for
Wang, Japan S Aide
Treoty Held Detrimental
To Chino's Sovereignty;
Usurpotion Is Charged
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, China, Nov. 3d.
The National government Of China
offered a reward of 100 900 Chinese
dollars f$6.000) today for Wang
Chin-wei, head Of the Japanese-rec-
ognized Marking government, "for
usurping the presidency and signing
with the enemy treaty detrimental
to China's sovereignty"
Foreign Minister Wang Chin-hui
threatened cessation Of normal rela-
tions with any foreign powers recog-
nizing the Wang regime.
elimination of Aggression.
The Foreign Minister'S statement
follows:
1.-The conclusion by Japan with the
puppet Marking organization of
what purports to be a treaty is but
elimination of series of agrees
sive acts on the part of Japan and
is designed to overthrow law and
order not only in China, but in the
whole Pacific.
Having set up a so-called regime
suiting her own purposes, Japan has
now signed so-called treaty to ia
cilitate execution of their policy of
domination and expansion in the
Far East.
This regime really is part of the
Toxic government, planted on Chi
nese soil to be used by Japanese
militaristS as an instrument for
realization of their scheme.
Wang Held "Archtraitor."
THE National government of the
Republic of China has repeatedly
declared and desires to reiterate as
emphatically as possible that Wang
Chin-wei is an arbitrator of the re-
public and the puppet Marking re-
glme Is an isolationist one whose acts
OF whatever character are null and
void in respect to all Chinese citi-
zens and all foreign countries.
THE so-called treaty Just signed
is totally devoid of legality and has
no binding force. Should any for
elgn country choose to accord recog-
milton to the puppet organization.
the Chinese government and people
would consider it a most unfriendly
act and would be constrained to dis
continue their normal relations with
such country.
Whatever Japan may attempt or
conspire to do to China or to the
Pacific, China is determined to fight
on until victory is won and China
is confident of victory because vic
tory inevitably belongs to freedom,
right and justice"

Industrial ACTIVITY
Holds High Levels ,
As 1910 Opens
Factories Garry Over
Large BockIogs
Into New Year
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6-The Ma
tons business machine rolled into
a new decade this week at high
speed under momentum Of the
powerful advance In the final half
Of 1899.
The usual discussion in financial
circles Of new year prospects evoked
the question whether industry could
maintain the pace much longer
without at least brief rest.
Such key industries as steel and
motor production, in fact, resumed
operations after the holidays at
levels under the record-breaking
peaks they achieved in the last
quarter of the old year.
But activity generally seemed to
be we'll sustained Steel. machine
making. shipbuilding, aviation and
other lines carried over into 1910
large reserves of untitled orders.
Many on the business fronts were
hopeful the cheerful new year take
of betokened a lasting shift from
the lean 30s" to the "fat 40s."
Budget Message Cited.
Some Wall Street analysts noted
President Roosevelt's budget mes
sage. calling for a slash in Federal
spending and more taxes to meet
defense needs. apparently was based
on expectation business recovery
would prove no mere flash in the
pan.
The Presidents emphasis on
foreign affairs also was taken in
some financial quarters as indica-
ton the administration would seek
to avoid ruffling business tempers in
the interest of national unity in war
time.
Security markets edged ahead
most of the week. Stocks had a
sprightly rise just before the presi-
dental message at the opening OF
Congress was delivered. Market ex-
perts, however. believed the advance
represented essentially rally from
the year-end decline, rather than
any important change In attitude on
the part Of traders.
Speculative camps, it seemed. still
were disposed to trade cautiously
until 1910 shows its hand more
clearly. Aside from the question of
a possible business recession the
money district waits for hints to
the presidential campaign states and
decisive moves in Europe's stale
mated war on the western front.
Magazine Is Hopeful.
Reporting steel and automobile
production smashed previous fourth
quarter records in the last stretch
of 1899, the Iron Age said the out
look for these industries and allied
lines in the first half of 1910 was
reasonably promising"
New year shutdowns curtailed au-
tonobile assemblies. Output was
estimated at 81 $40 units against 3d.
365 the previous week and 76,685 a
year ago. Trade observers forecast
output next week probably would top
100000 with the fuller resumption of
working schedules.
Allowing for seasonal changes, both
the steel and motor components
of the Associated Press index of
industrial activity were lower. con-
tributing to a moderate setback in
the composite index. Still the index
showed industry generally holding
close to the autumn high, which was
the peak since November. 1929.
The index, with component groups
based on latest figures, calculated on
1929-30 levels as 100, compared as
