POTTSVILX.B,' Pa., Aug. 18--Worklng by relays and urged on by constant faint tapping, a large party of rescuers Is dig ging frantically tonight Into a mountain of coal and rock to reach three entombed anthracite mine workers, who were caught behind a heavy fall of roof at S o'clock Friday afternoon In the Best colliery near Ashland. When the fall occurred It was believed the men had been crushed to death and the mine officials set about In the ordinary way to dig out the bodies. While this work was In progress loud tapping was heard on the tracks over which mine cars are hauled. Investigation convinced the officials that It came from the men caught in the fall and extra help was quickly summoned. Whether only one or all three men are alive cannot be determined. Mine officials late tonight said they hoped to reach the men alive tomorrow morning. The three Imprisoned men are John Delan, a miner, married, with five chil dren, and Antony Thomas Sanner and Peter Zebeluskie, laborers. They had com pleted their day's work and were on their way out of the mine, when the roof over the gangway fell without warning. The work of digging Into the coal and rock Is slow, because of the danger of further falls. As the debris Is thrown baok tlmbermen step In anl timber the gang way sufficiently to permit the rescuers to continue their, work. Throughout the afternoon and night the tapping continued, and "he taps were answered by hammering on the rails to give courage and hope to the men behind the fall Physicians and a first aid corps are on hand to take charge of the men as soon as they are reached. Harman Sends Reply" to Harrington's Last Holdrege Candidate Winds Up by Asking O'Neill Man Where Are "Eggs and. Shells." HOLDREGE, Neb., Aug. 12. (Special Telegram.) Clarence E. Harman of this olty, who Is a candidate on the democratic and people's Independent parties' ticket for the nomination for railway commis sioner, gave out the following statement here tonight: After the concluding statement of M. F. Harrington, I have come to the conclusion that the public must be getting tired of the controversy and I will make my reply as briefly as powslble. Mr. Harrington seems to have been shooting in the air and now resorts to a general rehash of his first statement and still otters neither J nothing new or substantial proof of ac cusation in any way, shape or form. I am willing to let the -men of our parties decide the question on primary day. I make the statement that all his talk Is based on supposition and suspicion from Hart to finish. In his Ilury at Fremont the wish with him was the father to the thought. Every one who has read the statements of Mr. Harrington admits that he has overshot the mark, when he makes char sua and then falls to accept a chance td prove them before the highest tribunal in parly politics In his state. If he has had the proots that he talks and raves about, why then all the witnesses he talks about that won't come to any place but court T In regard to myself and my candidacy, I desire here and now to ansure all men that I owe no aliegance to any man or set of men for my political activities. 1 have neither accepted or have ever been offered In any way, shape ot form, rail road passes or railroad money of any de scription for any purpose, whatsoever, at any time in .my lit, neither have 1 re ceived and favors from suoh a source for myself or anyone elite for political pur pose or any other purpose or each. I recognise at my superior officers In the democratic and populist parties the members and officers of the central com mittees who are In charge ot the two or ganisations and I am willing to be guided by the Instructions 1 may receive from them at all times. I have received not the slightest word from either committee that my oandldacy was not proper, but I did ask the chairmen of the two committees to take charge of the controversy. I did this In my statement to the press and afterwards took the matter up personally with the chairman of the democratic com mittee and my advice there was received to the extent thst If Mr. Harrington would agree It was easily attended to. Mr. Harrington backed water. My po litical record stands for itself as a fight ing democrat, and 1 am proud of It to the extent that 1 would rather have the nom ination without Mike Harrington's endorse ment than with It. I am ready and willing at any time to go before the state com mittee and with Mr. Harrington let hlin come across with all the things he says are so. whether I am nominated or not.

HONEYMOON GAY AND HAPPY ONI Father of Groom Asks Permission ef Police to Carry Revolver to Pro tect Himself from News paper SI en. SPRINGFIELD. Mass.. Aug. IS. A. honeymoon of automobile tides, sightsee ing and dancing In pleasure parks Is being passed In this city by Mr. and Mrs. John Edward Paul Geraghty, who eloped from Newport last Wednesday. The romance of the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Tuck French of Tuxedo and Newport and the Newport chauffeur has attracted much attention from the residents of this city, and already the young couple have made many friends. Part of yesterday the bride spent In buy ing clothes and In riding about the city and Its suburbs In a taxlcab, sightseeing. Last night the couple took a trip to Moun tain park, a nearby pleasure resort. Mrs. Qeraghty, who wanted to dance, was un able to do so because of an Injured foot, but allowed the groom to enjoy himself, so he danced five times. Neither of the young people appears to be worrying about the future. Qeraghty consulted lawyers here this afternoon and was told that there was no danger of the French family charging htm with abduction. Mrs. Geraghty admitted today that she had told the minister who married them In Central Village, Conn., that she was 21 years old. This, It Is asserted, relieves the groom of the liability of arrest Plans for Future Vague. No dedjnite plans for the future have been formulated by the couple. They said tonight that they expected to remain In the home of Geraghty's cousin, Mrs. Joseph Harris, for about two weeks, and then they may return to Newport and engage a cottage. No word has yet been received directly from Mra Geraghty's family and It was said tonight none was expected. The young husband Is keeping In touch through friends with affairs In Newport. Some of these friends, It was learned from Ger aghty tonight, had advised htm that his brother-in-law and another young man, a friend of the bride's family, had expressed displeasure with the match and had Inti mated that there may be trouble. Geraghty, who Is six feet tall, broad shouldered and athletic, did not appear worried over the prospect. "Let them start something," he said. "I can take care of myself." Father Wants to Carry On.

He first obtained employment here as a book agent, but did not meet with success. Next he worked for a few weeks In a livery stable. In the last month of his residence here he was employed as a line man by a telephone company. All of his local employers say he did not appear satisfied with his work, apparently feeling that he was qualified for a higher class of - employment.

ANOTHER ROAD FOR CALLAWAY Ranter that Branch from Pleasantoo Is to lie Extended Ip too Loop Valley, fALLAWAT, Neb., Aug. 13.-Speclal.)-A rumor Is now current to the effect that the Union Pacific Railroad company Is contemplating the extension ot Its branch from Pleasanton to Callaway up the Loup valley. Some twenty-five years ago a grade was made from Pleasanton up the South Loup valley to a point one mile north west of Callaway, .where It formed a Junc tion with the Kearney & Black Hills line. Thla grade still stands, though no work has been done upon it since It was made. The extension of the' Pleasanton branch to Callaway would , pass through one of the richest ' agriculture and stock ' countries in central Nebraska, and there would be no trouble to secure right-of-way In case and change should be made from the old grade. It Is stated that one ranchman of fers a right-of-way for eleven miles across his ranch, and will donate wo townsltes upon the ranch, besides r ng (30,000 In cash. This extension, forming a Junction with the Kearney & Black Hills branch at Callaway, would give the patrons a much- desired outlet for the east, and would shorten the distance to Omaha and eastern markets many hours.

CORN WORTH TALKING ABOUT Traveling Han Tells of the Sights He Has Seen in Nebraska. INDIAN ON HOW TO KEEP COOL Another Traveling- Man Bays Omaha Is the Banner Barf When It Comes to Counting the -Automobiles. 'Speaking of corn," said Barney Hutch inson, a traveling salesman for a Chicago hardware house, "the best that I have ever ketoo. at 'this season of the Year, and I have been on tha road better than twenty years, most of the time making the agri cultural sections of the country, was out In Butler county, near David City last week. This corn was growing' on the farm of Peter Th union, and he has a field of eighty acres. Right at this time the corn Is out of the milk and Is beginning to harden. I was out In the field, going on an Invitation, and after getting In a dosen rows from the edge of the field, It was like being In a forest. "The stalks In the Thurston field are all the way from ten to fifteen feet high, some of the ears coming out at points so far up that In order to get them, they will have to furnish the huskers with shot guns to bring them down. Many of the stalks carry two and three perfect ears, while In some Instances there are four and five. ' I think this corn will easily run sTxty bushels to the acre and there are many fields In the vicinity that are almost as good. 'If anybody tells you Nebraska is not going to have a corn crop this fall. Just remark In reply that they don't know what they are talking about. On the whole. It may not be a bumper, but It is going to be close to the annual average." He was one of the Sioux Indians con nected with the Buffalo Bill show and was sitting In the shade of a telephone pole on the show grounds, wrapped closely In heavy blanket, fanning himself with an eagle feather. This Indian was Flying Hawk, and was the center 'of attraction. While the white men and women, who j' about him were perspiring freely. Flying Hawk seemed to be as cool as the proverbial cucumber. Asked how he managed to keep cool with the mercury flirting with the . century point. Flying Hawk anawered In the best English language that he could command, saying: "What keeps out the cold keeps out the heat This Is an axiom that I think was coined by my granfather, Hlta-the-Pipe, who eighty years ago was living upon the Missouri liver at the mouth of the Cannon ball. In winter the old man had no darfl cutly In keeping warm, but those Dakota summers were a fright. Ftnnalfy he com menced wearing buffalo robes, hair-aide out all the year. After that he had no difficulty In keeping cool In summer. This covering, you see, kept out the heat." George Wilkinson Is at , tha Merchants, having come down from the extreme north western portion of South Dakota, bringing a load of feeders. Wilkinson says the range proposition In the section ot South Dakota where he resides Is a problem. He adds that all of the cattlemen west of the Missouri liver and north of the Black Hills are face to face with the same kind of a problem. According to Wilkinson, the northwest portion of South and the south and west portion of North Dakota have experienced a mighty dry season. "It's like this," he said. "We failed to get our usual spring rains and the grass on the range never got a good start. What dto grow was thin, short and spindling. Cattle soon fed this down and then the dry weather came on and since the middle of May there has not been enough rain to lay the dust. The water holes have gone dry., as have most of the small streams. In the larger rivers there Is some water and cattle are driven for miles to them, but the trouble la there Is no grass.

HOMESTEADS PRODUCE CROPS Representative Xinkaid Tells Con gress, Nebraska in Good Shape. NO FATXUIIES IN THIS STATE Law Allowing; Homesteaders Leave of Absence Because of Drouth Will Not Be Much Needed by Nebraska Farmers. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. (Special Tele gram.) During the course of the debate In the house ye-terdajr while the bill granting leave of absence to homesteaders In cer tain sections of the west where this year's drouth has caused failure of crops, Repre sentative Klnkald, while approving the bill, clearly Indicated that Nebraska districts which were finally Incorporated in the measure were not all supplicants and, al though within some rather limited area crops had failed. In general Nebraska would turn up with a miscellaneous crop almost equal to the average year. Representative Klnkald said: "While only a very small percentage of my con stituents will find It profitable to avail themselves of relief afforded by the bill, I feel warranted In having the Nebraska dis tricts Included In Its provisions and I rest my position upon the proposition that the good fortune of those who have good crops should not be permitted to stand In the way of relief from misfortune the misfor tune of those who have suffered crop failures. "In my district, the Sixth Nebraska," continued Mr. Klnkald. "only a small per centage of people will be affected by the bill. To start with, it Is only a small per centage of lands that have not been patented, and. again, it will be only a small percentage of homestead entrymen who have yet to secure their patents who will find it necessary or desirable to take ad vantage of the provisions of thla bill. None of them can afford to take advantage unless they have suffered crop failures. Majority Will Not Need It. "If the vote had been taken by the electors in my district, every one deter mining his vote upon the question of whether he himself needs the relief pro vided, an overwhelming majority would have voted against the bill, and at the start, when publicity was being given to pendency of the bill In the senate, pre dilection of the people of my district was against being Included In the bill. It is perfectly plain that to afford relief to a few who actually need It can not possibly be of any llsadvantage to those who do not need It. And it Is also a very reason able proposition that many who do not need -relief should not be permitted to stand In the way of relief for the few who have suffered crop failures to such an extent and whose property and financial means are so limited that they can not re main during the fall and winter months upon their claims to an advantage. In Nebraska employment Is to be had for all who have suffered failure of crops, and In many cases, If not In most cases, In the same counties where their claims are sit uated. Plenty of employment can be found in the state and good wages will be paid them. Unfortunate entrymen ought to be allowed to avail themselves of the opportunity thus to be afforded, "I think the sand hills have probably produced the largest potato yield this year of any part of the state In any event, they produce best quality potatoes and produce Just as good quality of potatoes as is produced anywhere on earth. I will say that no better potatoes are raised any where In the union than In the Nebraska sand hills, and this much has already been established by prices paid In prlnclpf mar kets where the brand 'the NebKika Sand Hill Potato' has become wU known. "Our Nebraska w-eat crop." said Judge Klnkald, In conclusion, "will come nearly up to average and our corn crop, usually a very great crop, and Nebraska's most valuable crop, may be considerably above i average. fcloan Roosts for Xew Buildings.

SENATE RESENTS BRYCE'S WORDS Attack on Upper Chamber in Book is Brought Into Debate. FEAR OLD WORLD'S DOMINANCE Will Get Little More Consideration During This Session. YELLOW PERIL ISSUE RAISED Senators Point Out Strong- Probability f Btiaidnar Japan and China Within Circle President's Speech Quoted. WASHINGTON. Aug. U.-rtHsregardlng telegraphed request from President Taft. the senate committee on foreign relations yesterday agreed upon an amendment to tha British and French arbitration treaties, eliminating the provision conferring spe cial powers on the proposed Joint high commission. In this form the treaties were reported to the senate, the president's wishes that action be postponed until next December being sot at naught. The senate almost Immediately gave two hours to consideration of the treaties, dur ing which the danger of old world dom inance on any Joint high commission was discussed. Incidentally there waa much talk about criticism of the senate con tained In "The American Common wealth," written by Ambassador Bryce long before he ever thought of coming to this country on a diplomatic mission. In that work Mr. Bryce attacked the senate upon the ground that it kept dlplomatio , troubles alive so long as thers was any political advantage to be gained by so do ing. Sidetracked for This Session. - The general opinion among senators seemed to be that the treaties would re ceive very little. If any, further considera tion In this session of congress. The telegram from President Taft to the committee requested that If the treaties were to be amended that action be post poned until December. Before leaving) Washington President Taft made strong representations to Individual members of the committee, urging as vttally important the retention of the provision giving to the Joint high commission the right to determine disputed questions without reference to the senate. The president gave senators to tinder stand that he would not yield without a severe struggle ,and his friends expressed doubt whether he would not prefer the failure of the treaties rather than rati fication with the paragraph eliminated. The suggestion has been made that the presi dent may even go so far as to. withdraw the treaties, but some of his closest friend are authority for the statement that In stead he will undertake to defeat the sug gested amendment. Mystery About Bryce'a Book. There Is much mystery about the manner In which the views of Ambassador Bryce, as expressed In his book were brought Into the controversy. Each member of the foreign relations committee reoelved In to day's mall a neatly printed two-page pamphlet quoting an extract from "The Amercan Commonwealth," In which the opinion was expressed that a minority in the senate may control the action of that body adversely to the will of the majority In "a narrow electioneering spirit." In this connection was a reference to the fact that under the constitution a two-thirds majority of the senate Is necessary to the ratification of treaties with foreign powers. Both In committee and In the senate the characterisation ot the senate In Mr. Bryce's work was referred to as Indicat ing a hostile disposition on the part of the ambassador towards tha senate's exercise of Its function of ratification. The opinion waa expressed by several that M. Bryce's views had bad an undue Influence In the formulation of the treaty. It became evident during the discussion that this criticism of the senate, notwithstanding that It was written without any possible reference to the present contingency, would be used against favorable action upon the treaty by the senate. Some of the opponents ot the treaty in the form In which It was presented went so far as to suggest that tha circular had been distributed among senators by friends of the treaties with a view to sustaining the president's own position. The question of the Urillsh ambassador's former attitude was referred to at some length In the senate by Mr, O'Gorman, the new senator from New York, who pointed out the possible danger that might arlss through yielding to the views of an Old world diplomat. Mr. O'Gorman did not Indicate positive opposition to the treaties written report ordered." To meet the desire for more Information, Senator Bourne entered a motion, which the senate adopted, directing the commit tee on foreign relations to prepare a writ ten report giving the fullest possible infor mation. Both In committee and In the senate fear was expressed that the ratification of tho treaties would have the effect of throwing or en the doors of arbitration to all the questions Involved In dealing with China and Japan and Involving Immigration and edmtsHlon to the public schools.
