'-'V THE BOSTON GLOBE-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 192(3 QUARTER HOUR SNiFTsiN Mine Intense Heat Bothers Night Rescue Crews 2249-2289 Washington at the Dudley-Stl Terminal OPEN MONDAY AND SATURDAY EVENINGS Just six more shining; examples of -the always-good values to te found at Timothy Smiths! Find them here for yourself. It is easy to get here by automobile, street car or elevated and it always pays to come. SALEM, Ky, Aug 11 (A. Intense air pervades the camp of rescuers here today, while crews work feverishly to reach their five entombed comrades in the Hudson mine. The shaft In which the miners have been imprisoned since last Thursday, when a cave-ln closed them in underground Is almost clear and it is a matter of hours until the fate of the victims is known.

All water was cleared from the shaft by 1 oclock last night. Only the remaining muck stands between the volunteers and prisoners. Since midnight four-men crews have been working on 15-minute shifts. The men are loading buckets which are attached to a cable and hauled to the top of the 150-foot shaft to be dumped. Intense heat at the bottom of the shaft prevents men from workig more than a quarter of an hour.

Mud Is almost touching the top of the lateral drift at the bottom of the shaft, but since the lateral is an up grade, the rescue workers believe that once this accumulation is cleared they will have a fairly open passageway back through the tunnel.

The toilers are confident that some of the men will be found alive, despite the fact that the prisoners had been trapped for 124 hours at 2 oclock this morning. This feeling of optimism swept over the workers yesterday as soon as it was discovered that air was passing down an abandoned shaft and reaching the trap. It is more than likely, they say, that the prisoners have been able to obtain some of the water which broke back through into the tunnel Thursday night from a reservoir directly over the lateral. At least four ot the men, George Pa-tillo, Randolph Cobb and Harry and U.

B. Wilson, are thought to have reached a ledge about 200 feet on the other side of where the reservoir broke through. The fifth man, Roy James, was walking back from the shaft toward the cave-in, a few moments before the crash. The new shaft being sunk directly over thg lateral and on the far 6ide of the cave is progressing rapidly and workers expect to break through within- 50 hours unless the main entrance to the mine is cleared. Digging in this shaft is no longer necessary, as the workers have tapped the same vein of zinc on top of which the trapped men were digging on the bottom when they were imprisoned.

The zinc is being shoveled into buckets and haujfid to the top.

Flames still belched today from seven huge tanks of burning gasoline, kerosene and benzol on the grounds of the American Oil Company refining plant in South Baltimore, where late yesterday four terrific explosions rocked the neighborhood, dealt serious injury to seven firemen and sent hundreds of families scurrying from their homes in fear of a general conflagration. As flames spread to the warehouse of the company, loaded wltlj drums of lubricating oil and containing ine offices of the firm, a huge pall of dense black smoke spread over the section, drawing a crowd of 100,000 persons to the spectacle as flames roared hundreds of feet into the sky. Company officials estimated that gallons of combustibles were destroyed. Because of the intense heat, firemen were unable to penetrate close enough to determine the cause of the fire. Around an area equal in to ari entire city block, firemen threw a curtain of water that encompassed the seven tanks, each with a capacity of between 30,600 and 40,000 gallons, the warehouse, and six tank cars, each loaded with 20,000 gallons of gasoline, to prevent spread of the flames.

Constant drenching of a 50, 000-gallon tank of benzol, a few hundred feet from the plant of the Standard Oil Company and the Consolidated Gas Company, saved the tank and probably prevented a disaster. Although flames at times burned houses in the residential district surrounding the plant, little outside damage was done aside from scorching and the breaking of panes of glass from the heat. Most of the lighting and telephone facilities in South Baltimore were cut off for the greater part of the night when the heat fused wire circuits and even destroyed trolley wires. All of the injured firemen are expected to recover. BREACH OF PROMISE RECORDS DUG UP Missouri Woman Seeks Shar6 of Vast Estate U.

No Politics In Sinking Fund Board It was decided that the commission which is to have charge of the income from th etobacco monopoly and a portion of the proceeds of the inheritance tax, which will go into the sinking fund, shall be removed from all political conflict, thus guaranteeing the commission against the changing fortunes of Parliamentary politics. This action, it is asserted by those who voted in favor of the measure, assures the slnkking fund against leakage or against going astray. In telling the Assembly that the sinking fund plan should be adopted, Premier Poincare said that by such action our creditors will find proof that we are determined to pay all our debts In the measure of our capacity. Marcel Cuehin, Comni'inist leader, today notified the Government of an interpellation on the subject of the Inter-Allied debts. He will ask particularly about the circumstances under yjiicl.

the Washington settlement was made. PARIS, Aug 11 (A. Premier Poincare has completed, with rapidity rarely, If ever, equalled in the annals of the Third Republic, his financial program for the rehabilitation of France as far as It was politically possible under the existing circumstances. The National Assembly, In session at Versailles, has. bya vot of 671 to 144, passed the hill placing the provision for a sinking rund In the Constitution for the purpose of amortizing the countrys floating debt and generally relieving the tangled financial situation.

It was not withqut scenes of much disorder, brought about by the opposition of the Socialists and Communists, that the measure was enacted by members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate in joint session. Thrice the Assembly had to be suspended because of the obstreperous tactics of the opposition. Fist fights between members of the extreme right and extreme left occurred during one stage of the session. The Communists banged desks and hurled insults at de Selves. They also sang the Internatioale.

One Deputy was expelled from the Chamber because of his persistence. Debt Agreements Not Ratified Premier Poincare, it is generally understood, would have preferred to have had the Franco-Amertean and Franco-Brltlsh debt agreements ratified and put out of the way during the session of the National Assembly, and he might have even succeeded In forcing them through by the authority he enjoya, owing to public support. But he Is said to have felt It would be wiser for him to content himself with what was accomplished and not Jeopardize bis whole program for the sake of a part it, however important. Consequently the Senate and the DESTROYS Flies, Mosquitoes Roadies Bedbug Old Case Dismissed Edenborn denied the allegations in the suit and It was dismissed In 1879 when Miss Dettly failed to post security for court costs. The old documents were introduced in an effort to dispute MrB Meters ejaim that her mother was married to Edenborn and, therefore, Mrs Meier, as a legitimate daughter.
