Rescuers After 130 Hours'
Work Reach Comrade at
Bottom of Test Hole.
SECOND VICTIM KILLED
Archie Long Is Dng Oat' From Rock
and Gravel at Winona, Wash.
Jle Vrges Survivors to Hurry
and Cheers Them in Task.
WIXONA, Wash.. Dec. 23. (Spe
cial.) Buried Under tons of rock and
gravel for 130 hours, unable to move
hand or foot, Archie Long- was taken
alive here today from the bottom of
the Government test hole. When
brought to the surface he collapsed and
two doctors working- with him are un
able to say whether he will recover.
For 10 hours Long had been talking1
to men working to rescue him and
seemed rational at times and full of
vitality. He told them to hurry, and
said once that they had gone past him.
He begged for a drink several times
and once said he wanted a cigarette.
When the men reached his hand, which
was pinned above his head, he shook
hands and said:
"I don't know you, but shake; I will
know you."
When his head was uncovered and a
wet towel with a little stimulants was
sent to him, he said:
"That certainly smells good."
When within a foot of Long the work
of rescue was delayed two hours to
put in' curbing. When he was uncov
ered the task of getting him loose was
slow and dangerous and once he took
hold of the bucket and wanted to help
his rescuers.
Long had fallen from a scaffold near
ly 20 feet to the bottom of the hole
and lay or stood bent over between two
long boulders. His head was free only
to move two inches and there was a
tiny cavity below his face. The por
ous character of the gravel and rock
allowed air to reach him.
Otto Chappell, who was burled at the
came time, was taken out dead tonight.
WOMAN PURSUES THIEF
lurse-Grabber Eludes Mrs. Frank
Welch, Detective's Widow.
Screaming "Stop thief!" at the top of
her voice, Mrs. Frank Welch, widow of
Letective Welch, pursued for more than
a block a man who had grabbed her
purse at Tenth and Harrison streets
last night.
The man xvps standing on the corner
when Mrs. Welch passed on her way
home. He grabbed the .purse from her
hand and fled. She chased him beyond
Hall street, where a crowd of men took
up the pursuit. The robber ran be
tween two houses and disappeared.
Detectives Swennes, .Moloney and
Howell rushed to the rescue in the po
lice automobile. They searche- the
block for the purse-grabber, but found
no trace of him. The police believe he
doubled on his tracks and mingled in
the big crowd Mrs. Welch's cry of "stop
thief" had gathered.
The purse contained $2.50, a wedding
ring and a ring set with a garnet. Mrs.
Welch lives in the Maxwell Hall at
207 Fourteenth street. Her husband was
killed in Aberdeen, AVash., several years
ago by a man whom he was about to
arrest.

to get action.
If licenses are issued it will be of
benefit to the city's finances, as no

by lack of license payments and in ad
dition the city would be compelled to
rerund about J7000 for the unexpired
license terms. .......

dry campaign here, said tonight he did
not care to spend any more of his time

TIGHT SKIRTS TO GO
High Collar and Long Sleeve
Due for Return.
PARISIAN EXPERT IS HERE
Representative of LIpman, Wolfe &
Co. Says White and Mixture of
Black and White Popular,
. but Many in Mourning.
Wider skirts are to be the fashion
soon, although they will be some
what shorter, according to D. Roditi,
who represents LIpman, Wolfe & Co.
in France and Germany, and who is
in the city on his annual visit.
Fashionable colors in Paris, he says,
are white and mixed black and white.
The low-neck street dress is passing,
according to Mr. Roditi, and the high
collar is coming back. Even the old-
fashioned stock collar is due for a re
vival. With this collar, long sleeves
will be worn.
American women may be thrown
more upon their own resources in
creating stylfs, according to the
foreign expert, since the variety in
fashions see nabroad is much curtailed
by reason of the fact that so many of
the women, who create the styles, are
In mourning'.
Congestion was great at the various
export points abroad, at the outbreak
of the war, declared Mr. Roditi. Thou
sands of cases of goods for American
shipment were held with but small
hope of prompt despatch. However, he
says that by the judicious use of tips
and other inducements, he was able
to send along every case destined to
Portland and the local firm received
them all in due time.
"At first everything was paralyzed,"
says the European. "From the begin
ning of the war until September 15
everything was turmoil and two shops
out of every ten remained open while
the others were as quiet as death.
"The boulevards were deserted. There
were ,less people on them than there
normally are on a Sunday morning.
But now, everything is the same as
it was before the war and business can
be said to have returned almost to
normal.
"Novelties in general are being pro
duced at almost the rate of peaceful
times. The only reason that there is
any falling off is the fact that the
European demand is curtailed.
"The variety is not so extensive as
usual because so many are in mourning.
The American demand is being well
taken care of by the women of France
and Germany who are the makers of
the finery. The men are the dealers
and salespeople, but the women are
the workers, so the war does not dimin
ish supplies.
, "Ira my mind, there is little question
but that the war will be over inside
of six months," continued Mr. Roditi.
"The great waste of life and money
is a strain which none of these coun
tries can endure.
"The allies must win the war in my
estimation. It is impossible to be
lieve that Germany, Austria and
Hungary can long carry out a war
against the millions that France,
England and Russia can send against
them." i

mony . to the unparalleled munlfience
of their charity and the good will they

Has the, Right to Deal Abroad,
Irrespective of Hostilities.

the right to deal with all nations, irre
spective of their private wars," said

sey, Mrs. Marshall's parents, of Scotts
dale. The statement was made by the
Vice-President in commenting on the
recent meeting of representatives of
Pan-American nations at Washington,
where the right of neutrals was dis
cussed. "The United States must have a
world-wide market," continued Mr.
Marshall, "and will get it under the
Democratic Administration."

which Arizona is vitally interested, as
an example "of the folly of the home
market idea advanced by well-meaning
but badly informed citizens."

President said that the results Bhowed
a disposition on the part of the people
to give the Democratic policies a fair
trial. He added that the trouble with

plant seeds one day and dig them up
the next to see if they have Bprouted
yet," he Baid. "But business changes
must come slowly."
