H. H. TWO SHAMOKIN DISPATCH, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1929 CULM CASES ARE STILL ON TRIAL Counsel for Coal Company Explains Methods Employed to Prevent Flooding of Property The Lehigh Valley Coal company, which has paid out large sums in damages to Mt. Carmel properties due to the overow of Shamokin creek, adopted new tactics in court yesterday in the latest cases to be tried before Judge Albert Lloyd. Attorney Edward J.

Flynn called to the stand Engineer Hinkle, in the cases of Mary Wrona and John and Annie Osiko, to tell of the measures taken by the company to improve conditions of the creek which seem to have been the cause of all the trouble. "We started cribbing in 1916," said the witnesses and continued until mid-summer, 1917. We used old mine timbers for cribbing, and lashed in Jagging, driven in on either side to the cribbing from falling apart. We placed the cribbing aS far as possible in a straight line. The creek itself WAS crooked and twisted its way along a winding channel fifteen feet wide.

It always overflowed the north side of the bank. The cribbing confined it to its course. It was placed there so that the creek, would scour itself, and clean channel crease of the velocity the water." The case was still on trial last night on adjournment of Judge Lloyd's court, 100 MISSING AFTER BLAST IN MINE: 150 ON WAY TO SAFETY From Page One 190 picked men, were on hand this afternoon to aid in the search. While physicians and nurses set up quarters in the machine shop near the pitmouth this afternoon, waiting for any injured to be brought up, they had little to do so far. None of 'the 150 men who escaped suffered injuries the men rushed to the Citizens General Hospital, New Kensington being those, injured when the flames destroyed tipple and outside fan house.

State troopers from. Greensburg Barracks patrolled Valley in which the mine lies, keeping back the hundreds of anxious relatives who stood in silent suspense, awaiting word from inside the mine. When word went that one body had been seen inside the mine, the news was greeted by silence. It may be hours and even days before the rescue crews can reach all the inner recesses of the mine where there is a possibility that men have barricaded themselves. Special INS Leased Wire.

KINLOCK MINE, NEAR PARNASSUS, March 21. Hope that most of the 200 or more men still entombed in the Kinlock mine of the Valley Camp Coal Company by a gas explosion early today may be rescued was expressed by grimy rescue crews which penetrated the flame swept workings of the mine. Groups of men emerged from the wrecked workings at two entries, thirty-seven men escaping through the entries of the Valley Camp Mine workings of which join the Kinlock mine underground. Small groups fought their way out of the blast torn mine, in a steady stream. They were members of two of the three groups or sections of miners employed there.

A third group which may number 100 men has not been reached, and it is thought this is in gravest danger if not already stricken. Grimy men, 1 their clothing in tatters, fought their way through the Valley Camp entries. The group still unaccounted in the survivors is closest to the tipple of the Kinloch Mine, which is in flames. The flaming tipple shot tongues of fire sixty feet into the air, as firemen battled to extinguish it. The survivors poured into emergency first aid camps in a steady stream, most of them suffering from the shock of their experiences.

The fact that the Kinloch mine and the Valley Camp Mine meet underground and have a passageway connecting them probably saved the lives of the survivors, for the flame apparently was between two of the three groups and the Kinloch Pitmouth. The survivors told graphic stories of the blast as they rested at the emergency hospital cots. Stanley Palowski, one of a group fifteen men who made a successful two hour fight for safety said: "We went down the mouth of the mine a mile or so, me and my buddy. We heard a roar. 'My God! my buddy hollered.

There wasn't any gas or fumes, so we turned back. We made our way to the Valley Camp entry and out. William Birbin, attendant of a filling station a mile from the mine was first to spread the alarm. "I was shaving when the explosion came with such force it rocked the filling station. It jerked my hand with such force I cut my face.

I ran to spread the alarm. At shortly before 11 A. 135 miners escaped from the wrecked workings, and others were believed on their way to safety. At that hour it was believed that approximately 300 men originally had been entombed. KINLOW MINE, NEAR PARNASSUS, March 21.

A twisted, mangled body, huddled in a corner 500 feet from the shaft bottom in the blast-torn Kinloch mine lay untouched as rescue crews today groped their way through the wreckage of the mine in the hope of reaching men who are not beyond aid. The shaft and mouth of Kinloch has the appearance of a shell-raked French chateau. The smoking, twisted hulk of what was once the mine frames the charred shaft. Widen the anon, two by one mile in small groups of rescue men, masked and equipped with every modern mode of fighting fire and gas, move slowly into the grim interior, groping their way through wreckage. The fire apparently has subsided within the recessas of the mine.

Outside the mine, cordon of state troopers has been thrown about the workings, while nurses and salavation army lassies are on hand to lend assistance at the emergency hospital and morgue. The first body was found Keener, of the Renton Union Collierles, Renton, Pa. "It didn't look human" he said in describing the body. "There it was, all shapeless and mangled, but we couldn't stop to bring it back. "The passageway looked like a tornado had struck it, just twisting things every way.

We kept goingyou know a body don't mean much, when there's a chance that men have buttressed themselves into small pockets and entries, and are waiting for men to make their way to them." By 8 wierd coincidence, Vernon Thomas, a mine brakeman, who halted with thirty-three other men in his charge, in a mine room far in the interior of the mine. Just a minute or two before the blast let go, he said, he and his men were discussing steps to take in case of a blast of any sort. They had decided to make their way for the Valley Camp entry in case of a blast in the Kinloch mine. A few minutes later they did so, thus escaping death. Jim Hogan, fire boss, was the man who spread the alarm among the 150 men who made, their way to safety through Valley Camp later, workings.

Ed Jobes, assistant pit boss, led the the men who led the miners through the workings, Hogan said that most of the men were too far away to hear the explosion itself, and that his safety lamp was the means by which the two leaders guided most of the men to the abandoned Valley Camp workings. When the James flickered, they knew the air dangerous, and when it flared up, they were in an explosive gas area, so they changed their course until they came to the Valley Camp workings, which are not in operation. Fear was felt that William A. Esch, safety director of the Valley Camp Mines, is among those still trapped in the workings. POLICE CHIEF From Page One years ago the body took away from the burgess the privilege of signing pay vouchers and all checks.

They substituted the president of council's signature so that the chief's pay voucher will not reach the burgess for his sanction or otherwise. What the burgess may do, however, according to those informed in borough affairs, is to let council order the chief paid and then ask for a surcharge at the end of the year. The borough auditors would authorize any surcharge, though the amount would not be much. In the meantime the wheels of the borough's machinery move on. The burgess is daytime chief and Desk Sergeant Joseph Kehler nighttime chief.

A LL sarily that is nourishing, soup is had not and neces. many: of us might have a pleasanter childhood if the soup myth had been punctured long ago.

Soup used to be regarded 8.8 absolutely essential to at least one meal a day. Nowadays, it is not included unthinkingly in every dinner or luncheonthere's a definite reason for having the kind of soup you have, if any, Soup is divided into two main classes. First, the clear somme, broth, bouillon. This is the strained liquid in which meat. fish or vegetables have been cooked.

Nourishing soups are the thick ones, containing all or most of the ingredients with which they were made. Thick soups containing meat, or vegetables or fish: or strained soups to which milk, cream, eggs or 8 white sauce are added, have a high tood value. Indeed, some of these soups are sufficient in selves for a nourishing luncheon. Rarely are they served as the first course of a large dinner. The good word that can be said about soup is, that used properly it is likely to be a popular dish rather than a sheer duty, You can combine any number of items to make a very tasty soup.

There's noth. ing quite as helpful for a quick and satisfying lunch. And the variety is endless. A Frenchman published 8 book in 1902 giving recipes for 700 soups--and he was exceeded by a German chef who has recorded almost 2.000 kinds of soup. What are the nourishing soups? They all fall into one of these groups.

First--Soup in which vegetables, or meat. fish or cereals have been cooked and served with these gredients--all of which have a high food value. Second--Cream soups. If you cook together, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of flour, one-quarter teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk. add.

ing the milk gradually, and stirring to smoothness, you will have one cup of what is known "cream This, added to cup of liquid strained from cooking any meat, or fish or vegetable, is a cream soup, The clear liquid supplies the flavor, the milk the nourishment, so that cream soups have a definite nutritive quality. -Purees. A soup made by mashing vegetables and blending with the water in which they were cooked. Peas, beans. potatoes, cauliflower--in fact.

any starchy vegetables, are suitable. They are cooked very slowly, for several hours. with the addition of some meat and bones to add flavor. This soup is then poured through a coarse strainer, so that all the pulp can be forced through. Fourth--Bisque.

This word sometimes applied. incorrectly, to cream soups of vegetables, But what It actually means is, a fish soup to which crean is added. The soup may be strained, or bits of fish, or elams, or oysters, crabmeat. may be left in it. Just before serv.

ing, cream is whipped and folded Into this liquid, which is then poured into hot cups and served immediateAbout one cup of cream is al; lowed for one quart of liquid, JURY WRANGLES AN ENTIRE NIGHT TO REACH A VERDICT A topic of conversation throughout the day in the court house was the holdout jury, which wrangled all night over award to Emmillie Schmidt versus Charles Schoffstall. At first 10 or the jury were for the defendant, and finally eleven, and a lone man held out the rest of the night and into the morning in behalf of the plaintiff. Under the present rules any reference to insurance companies figuring in cases is absolutely forbidden, and therefore nothing was said in the Schmidt case. The fact was however that the ssue was not between the motorists, but between the companies which carried their insurance. Although the purpose, of preventing excessve verdicts by juries was justifiable, the way in which the law is working out is causing concern to jurists and leaders in the professionSome insurance companies, that are paid to carry risks, carry cases to court to escape such payment, and at the same time dodge the unpleasant notoriety such acts would involve, by fighting the cases behind the names of the parties in the accident.

The indentity of the companies thus is never revealed. The eleven men and one woman who formed the jury that was out all Tuesday night performed their conscientious duty at extreme discomfort to themselves, all for a sum paltry to the companies which were the real litigants.

VERDICT AGAINST SHAMOKIN YOUTH Accident Near Tharptown Last October Has Echo in County Courts With Verdict Against Steward Reese A verdict of $4,074.60 against Steward Reese, 136 East Chestnut street, was brought in by a jury in the Sunbury court for damages growing out of an automoble accident at Tharptown October 13, 1928. Richard McHenry, of Atlanta, Georgia, whose Chevorlet car was struck by young Reese's Marmon, brought suit against the young man for $16,000 damages.

The verdict, a sealed one, was handed to the court this morning and read at the opening session this afternoon. The case had been in progress for the past several days and was hard fought. Edwin Mulvaney, the Chatanooga, high student who discovered a wholly new explosive, has been awarded a four years' scholarship at the chemical-warfare laboratories. Bowling has become so popular in the Philippines that bowling alleys are springing up like mushrooms in many parts of the islands, women being 8.9 much interested in the game as men. Lewisburg a Peaceful Town Town Once More as "Prep School Rule" Seems a Thing of the Past BITTER LEGAL BATTLE WAGED IN AUTO CASE From Page One It was the contention of the defense, based on a conversation alleged to have been overheard after the accident, that the boy had gone to a football game while on the same errand for the flowers, and was in a hurry to get back with the flowers after the game, and that that was the reason he was driving at a rate of 50 miles an hour, when he rounded a curve and plunged into the car ahead.

"Who knows this man McHenry?" asked Mr. Lark. He called attention of the jury to the fact that the Reese's are a family of unsullied reputation, and said it was "their word against that of a stranger from the south, whom nobody knows anything about." He also wanted to know why the physician who attended the salesman was not brought north to testify as to the cause and nature of the injuries the victim was supposed to have subsequently suffered from. Judge Moser came back with an eloquent rejoinder: "My client's from Georgia; therefore he is no good; give it to him--that's the spirit in which you are asked to consider his plea. "I say to you, because he is from the south, treat him with civility, as you would a stranger within your gates." Judge Moser then ridiculed the plea that the physician should have been brought all the way from Georgia to Sunbury to testify in this case.

presented physicians' statements that the bone in the leg of the injured man had to be scraped because of infection. Court adjourned at 4 o'clock, and Judge Frank H. Strouss announced that he would charge the jury in the morning. CHRIS J. GOLDEN IS ELECTED SECTY.

From Page One one of the most responsible and most lucrative posts associated with the anthracite industry reads almost like fiction. He began life as a breaker boy and as he attained the age of manhood graduated to the mines where he became an expert in the work of cutting coal. He became active in affairs of the United Mine Workers back in 1914 and quickly won recognition among the rank and file of the miners as a leader. In 1918 he became a candidate for the presidency of District No. 9 in opposition to James Matthews cf Shenandoah and in a hot contest defeated Matthews for reelection.

A born organizer, a fine leader and possessor of a magnetic Mr. Golden had continued perscnality, as president ever since, the members of District No. 9 paying him repeated tributes by re-electing him to the highest office in the district every biennium up to the current year. His last re-election came last fall. Under the supervision of President Golden District No.

9 has become cne of the most thoroughly organized union fields in the country loss and his to the mine workers tion will be kenely felt. organizaMr. Golden is recognized as a man of marked ability and business acumen, thoroughly conversant with every phase of the anthracite industry and he has the well wishes of the miners as well as thousands of friends in other vocations for success in his newposition. Peace and quiet reigns once more on the Bucknell campus at Lewisburg. The "revolt" following the explusion of two young women, members the senior class, and enforcement of rules governing social affairs of the under -graduate body by university officials, is over.

Early Tuesday morning, the town and particularly the section around the campus was dotted with sarcastic posters, which had been placed on trees, poles, as well as signs painted on sidewalks and on University property. Most of these signs were directed against a woman official of the university who is supposed to be responsible for the "prep school rules" as several students term it. Although it was reported that the entire student body had gone out on a strike and refused to attend classes, this seems a bit far-fetched for a check-up by The Dispatch revealed that classes were going along as usual. The origin of the trouble dates back to several weeks ago when two popular girls were expelled from the school because they had been found in company with men who had been drinking, according to a student.
