Stole $10,861 Georgia's Next Governor Only 32 McALESTBR, Oct. 29. -Eight bodies of a crew of 29 miners trapped in the Wheatly No. 4 coal mine by an explosion Monday night were recovered by rescue workers today. The bodies were found the lath level of the mine and were badly burned.

The miners had been working on the 16th, 17th and 18th levels of the mine. The finding of the first bodies at the 18th level indicated that the men rushed away from the force of the explosion only to perish. The fate of the remaining 21 was a matter of conjecture. If they escaped the force of the explosion and rushed to the lower levels and closed the level doors there still is a possibility that they will be found alive, experts with the rescue crews said. The finding of the eight bodies came after a night of digging in the debris at the 14th and 15th levels.

One other body, that of William Donnelly, was found near the mouth of the mine shortly after the explosion. Former Ohio Pen Chaplain Speaks Here T. O. Reed, a former chaplain at the Ohio state penitentiary for 16 years, and now president of the Mutual Welfare Bureau of Columbus, discussed "Crime" at the regular meeting of the Kiwanis club today at the Coshocton Town and Country club. The former chaplain stated that Ohio is to be congratulated on its state penitentiary warden, P.

E. Thomas, one of he greatest criminologists of today. In discussing- the Easter fire at the penitentiary. Mr. Reed asserted that the major cause was the overcrowded conditions of the prison, which had a capacity of 3.000 and was housing 5,000 at the time of the disaster.

Further complimenting Warden Thomas, the speaker stated that he had a premonition of trouble and. due to this, had in readiness a number of police and national guardsmen, who had. the situation under control so' well that there was only one escape, this man being captured a short time later. Continuing, the former chaplain wave in Ohio, LANCASTER, Oct. 29--Search was extended thruout the state! today for the six men who staged 1 a sensational holdup of the Fair-, field National bank here yesterday and, after assaulting the an employe and a customer of the bank, escaped with loot of $10,000.

The bandit sextet fled in a large! sedan, which police said they be: lieved was stolen recently from Roy W. Brismer of Dayton. O. The car was last seen speeding toward the Hocking Valley on a road south of New Lexington, according to reports received by county authorities. The holdup took place during the noon hour yesterday.

Three of the bandits, wielding weapons, en- I tered the bank and commanded patrons and customers to lie down oh the floor. When H. B. Peters, president of the institution, resisted the command, one of he robbers struck him over the head with the butt of a revolver. Assistant Cashier M.

S. Fond, 58, was also assaulted when he feigned ignorance of the combination of the bank's vault. Rev. W. G.

Seaman, pastor of the First M. E. church, was struck a glancing blow on the' side of the head when he was slow in obeying the robber's command that he lie down on the floor. After subduing then- victims, the robbers scooped up all cash lying in sight and fled outside to an automobile which was manned by three accomplices. Word of the robbery of the bank was spread thruout the town and county immediately and a widespread search was started.

The bandits succeeded in making good their get-away, however, in a maze of noonday traffic. National guardsmen aided in the hunt for the robbers as a dragnet was hastily thrown up around three counties.

Hickman addressed Warsaw high f.chool i morning on "Great Men of the Past." A splendid display of flowers at the funeral of Mrs. Onetia Mulvaney here Monday and the presence of several men from Chicago, who arrived in big cars to attend the funeral services, have led to the circulation of rumors to the effect that the men were members of a Chicago gang. It was stated the men came into the city with machine gun guards and that they spent money in a careless manner.

When interviewed by a reporter for The Tribune. W. R. Hanlon, local undertaker, denied a report that he had been given $1,000 with which to give Mrs. Mulvaney a proper burial.

The undertaker stated that he had turned in an itemized account which amounted to less than $200. Virgil Pierce of this city, a brother of Mrs. Mulvaney, stated that there was nothing unusual in the presence of expensive flowers which had been sent from Chicago. The flowers, he explained, came from friends of his late sister and were merely a means of expressing a sincere affection for the dead woman. "Her husband," he continued, "holds an excellent position as motion picture operator in Chicago and is also an officer "in the operators' union of Illinois.

There is nothing out of the ordinary in the fact that he came in a big car and sent beautiful flowers. "He will be here again in about two weeks to erect a monument in honor of his late wife, and undoubtedly will trace these rumors to their source and demand that they be proven." Other members of the family, Pierce explained, are also employed in perfectly legitimate work. Fred and Frank Pierce, brothers of Mrs. Mulvany, and Harry and Rodney, Mulvaney's brothers, are all cab drivers hi Chicago, he said. Local police stated that they had no reason to believe that the men who were here from Chicago are in a-ny way connected with the underworld of that city.

RIO DE JANEIRO. Oct. 29--A gala reception today awaited Dr. Getulio Vargas when he arrived here to take over the government of Brazil as provisional president. His popularity growing every hour, the generalissimo of the rev- olutionary forces which unseated the administration of former Pres- ident Washington Luis, Dr.

Vargas was to be accorded the welcome i and ovation of a conquering hero, i His vigorous personality and strong will have endeared him to the people. Dr. Vargas' journey to the capital from the state of Rio Grande Do Sul. where as president of the state he directed the operations of the successful revolt launched on October 3, resembles Mussolini's march on Rome. Behind him are troop trains carrying 30,000 men, comprising the bulk of the revolutionary army which forced capitulation of the Washington Luis administration.

He has ordered them to the capital to preserve law and order and assure the permanency of the new regime. Pending the provisional president's arrival, the military junta which has been controlling the government since the downfall of the Luis administration took decisive steps to bring Brazil back to a condition of normality. After a conference with leading bankers, the junta declared a 30- day financial moratorium, permitting banks to resume operations. They had been closed down indefinitely by Washington Luis soon after the revolt got under way early this month. Other steps taken were nullification of the existing press law, which makes libel a criminal offense, and abrogation of a present law governing the repression of communism.

It was expected a general amnesty for all civilians and militarists convicted of revolutionary activities since 1D22 would be de- Continued on Ten Returns Home Unharmed; Wife Reported to Have Tendered $50,00 Ransom CHAS.
