One Finds Family Mourning for
Another Miner Complains
of Time Lost From Work.
BUTTE, Mont., June 10. Twenty
t even of 30 miners imprisoned on the
2400-foot level of the Speculator mine,
of the North Butte Mining Company,
eince last Friday night, who were
brought to the surface alive today,
owe their lives to Manus Duggan, a
tool boy, 20 years old, one of their
crew on that level.
Thirty men were brought to the
surface from the 2400-foot level, two
dead, another dying shortly after
reaching pure air.
Hero of Rescue Missing.
Directed by Duggan, who is not
among the list of those rescued and
for whom fears are expressed and
prayers for his safety being said, the
rescued men constructed a bulkhead
in what is known as "71 X" crosscut
on the 2400-foot level, stripped naked
and stuffed the bulkhead with their
clothing. and bits of canvas, lagging
and dirt at 1 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. They made a second bulkhead
with dirt a short distance from the
original one at the crosscut opening.
This kept the gas out, and for a
time they were in comparative safety.
Dash for Air Ordered.
Until they were taken out of the
nine today the men remained in this
blockaded drift. The men, without
clothing, food or drink, stuck in the
drift until the gas became so foul
Duggan directed them to get ready to
break out and make a try for the
shaft.
Breaking down the bulkhead with
the assistance of three others, Dug
pan went through first, the others
following. At the shaft the men rang
for the cage, it is understood, and Jt
was sent to the 2400-foot level imme
diately, although the men on the sur
face understood the call to have come
from the 2600-foot level.
Signals Thought Mixed.
An investigation of the 2600-foot
level call brought no results. It is
believed the men calling from the
2400-foot level mixed the signals
when they called for the cage.
Duggan, after his heroic work of
36 hours, led the way from the drift.
He went ahead to test the gas and be
came lost. Officials of the company
express the fear that he has been
lost, although the men he saved from
death think he made an attempt to
reach the 2000-foot level and gain the
Rainbow shaft of the company from
there.
Lives Owed to Boy.
"We owe our lives to Manus Dug
gan," Nyrja Johnson, the first man to
reach the surface, said. "He was the
one who directed all the work. None
of us would be here today if it were
not for him."
A drink of brandy was urged upon
Johnson, who at first refused it be
cause of company rules, but he took
it at the suggestion of a physician.
"Duggan told us all to go into the
drift, and after we got in there he got
a piece of canvas," he continued.
"Then we took off our clothes and
choked up the gas. He directed the
work, and when some of the men got
weak he did the work of fi men. I
hope they save Duggan."
Two Bulkheads Made.
Wilfred La Montague, another of
the rescued men, told how the bulk
head was made.
"We made the bulkhead on 11 X'
crosscut out of lagging and canvas,
and a few feet away from there we
built a second bulkhead and stuffed
the intervening space with dirt," he
explained.
"Manus Duggan was the one who di
rected the work, and we were there in

Coast Experts Advise Senator Me
Xary Only 2 0 Per Cent of Logs
Are Suitable for Ships.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Juno 10. Pacific Coast lumber
mills which are to furnish 168,000,000
feet of lumber for the 100 wooden ships
to be built on the Pacific Coast for
the Federal Shipping- Board will be
compelled in filling the orders to make
a total cut of 840,000,000 feet of lumber.
This Information was gathered today
by Senator McNary in conference with
It. B. Allen, secretary of the West
Coast Lumbermen's Association, and
E. T. Allen, of Portland, now on the
lumber committee of the Council of
Defense, both of whom are familiar
with the contracts and the' require
ments. These lumber experts told the
Senator that mot more than 20 per
cent of the logs from which ship tim
bers are to be cut will be suitable for
use In vessel construction, as only the
highest grade timber is to be permit
ted to go into the ships.
The surplus of 672,000,000 feet, which
will be left after the ship timbers
have been cut, will be low-grade com
mercial lumber, which, according to
the two experts, will become a drug on
the market, especially if the Interstate
Commerce Commission should allow a
15 per cent advance in lumber rates
on July 1.
Senator McNary today was informed
that contracts have been let by the
Federal Shipping Corporation for 12
wooden ships to be built on Coos Bay,
the contracts going to the C. A. Smith
Lumber Company, Porter Bros, and
Guthrie & Co.
The Ericcson Shipbuilding Company,
of Seattle, has obtained a contract from
the Shipping Corporation to build four
steel steamers of the Robert Dollar
type, each of 8oj tons.

(From a Correspondent of the Associated

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, June 9, via London, June 10.
The manner in which the British fly
ing corps dominated the air during the
battle of Messines Ridge on Thursday
and completely smothered the German
aviation service for the time being is
one of the most thrilling and remark
able stories of the entire war.
Hundreds of British planes were well
behind the German lines when the bat
tle broke into its fury at dawn. They
had stolen over during the darker in
tervals of the brief night when the
moon was hidden by storm clouds.
Other hundreds went aloft with the
first faint streaks of coming day and,
guided by the flashes of the guns, flew
into the thick of the fighting.
. Airmen Delay Counter Attack.
. During the night British machines
bombed the enemy railway stations,
trains, ammunition dumps and troops
coming up on the march. Others hov
ered above German airdromes and cir
cled low among airplane sheds and
fired hundreds of rounds from machine
guns into them and prevented the ene
my machines from coming out. Later
in the day, while the fighting was
most .intense, British airmen dropped
about three tons of bombs on the Ger
man flying grounds as a further de
terrent, which proved highly effective.
In addition to shutting the German
airmen out of any early participation
In the battle, the British airplanes were
in a large degree responsible for the
fact that the Germans could not launch
a - counter attacic of appreciable
strength until 40 hours after the bat
tle for the ridge began and every bit
of ground desired by the British in this
particular operation had been taken and
secured.
Troops Hunted In Hamlets.
Far back of the German lines the
British planes searched out troops in
every hamlet, town and village. In
several places they saw them gather
ing or marching in the main streets,
whereupon they flew down low at
times and opened a fire which scat
tered the Germans in all directions. All
pilots report that their accurate fire
had a most demoralizing effect upon
the hostile troops. Convoys and am
munition and supply columns were at-

Cool weather has delayed the m.

Owing to the accumulation of water
up-stream, however, the Willamette
River will continue to rise at least un

announced.
The Willamette River rose two-tenths
of an inch from 7 o'clock yesterday
morning to 6 o'clock last night, at that
time attaining a height of 21.8 feet.
As a result of the flooded condition
of the Columbia River many farmers
on the low ground near the river's edge
have had to retreat to higher land.
This is particularly true of farmers on
Sauvie's Island and in the vicinity of
RidgefieUl and Woodland, Wash. The
rise in the river was so clow, however,
that practically no damage has been
experienced by ranchers whose land has
been flooded.

Effort to Get Rope From Screw
Proves Successful After Sub-
marine Worker Fails.
"If you want anything well done do
it yourself." is the motto of Captain C
F. Parker, master of the "Big Three"
liner Rose City, and that skipper, who is
pre-eminently a man of action, lived up
to hie motto Saturday night, even to
going down in a diving suit to loosen
a line which had fouled with the pro
peller shaft of his steamer.
The action of Captain Parker enabled
the steamer to get away for her regular
trip south yesterday, when it was
feared she would be delayed.
It was when the Rose City was mak
ing her landing Friday night that one
of the lines-fouled in the propeller
shaft. A diver was employed who
toiled until late Saturday night but
without results. The line had been
wound several times around the shaft
and it was a difficult problem to re
lease it.
When It was apparent the diver
would be unable to accomplish the
work of releasing the line Captain Par
ker took matters Into his own hands.
"Let me have that diving suit," he
said. In a few minutes Captain bar
ker was taking his first descent In a
diver's suit. It wan 10 o'clock Saturday
night and in a very short time the line
was free.
"I'm hungry: let's go and get some
coffee and." he said breaking into a
chorus of congratulations, as he doffed
his diving suit.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo.. June 10. The
six alleged plotters were safe tonight
somewhere in the Ozark hills north of
here.
Their guard, overpowered by a mob
of Springfield citizens at Stockton, Mo.,
early today and their lives threatened,
they won freedom from harm for them
selves by denying stoutly that they
were guilty of the disappearance and
death of little Lloyd Keet, the wealthy
banker's son.
Springfield Again Quiet.
As a result, Springfield was quiet to
night, its streets almost deserted and
the talk of further violence hushed
after the wild fury of last night and
this morning, in which thousands of
persons crowded the public square,
awaiting stolidly the expected return
and lynching of the supected six.
It is reported Piersol, despite a rope
around his neck, refused to admit that
any of the tuspect- were concerned
with the death of little Lloyd.
Piersol pleaded for his life, maintain
ing his innocence, and the Sheriff made
a stirring appeal against violence. Then
the mob subsided.
Four Are at Stockton.
Sheriff Webb returned to Springfield
late today and tonight gave out a
statement confirming earlier reports
that members of the mob had over
taken at Stockton and had threatened
one of the prisoners with death. He
said that four of the prisoners Mrs.
Adams and her husband, her son Maxie
Adams and Sam McGinnis were in jail
at Stockton while Cletus Adams and
C. J. Piersol. the other two, were being
taken to Jefferson City.
The story of the events at Stockton
as related by 'Webb were that eight
"prominent young men of Springfield."
unmasked and acquaintances of the
Sheriff, had met him at Stockton and
demanded that they be allowed to talk
to the prisoners.
Rope Put Around Neck.
They gave him their "word of honor"
that no harm would come to the pris
oners unless they confessed to the
death of little Lloyd. Cletus Adams
and Piersol then were turned over to ,
them, the Sheriff said. Adams was
taken to the lodge hall at Stockton
and questioned, but refused to confess,
the Sheriff said.
Piersol then was escorted to the edge
of town, a rope placed around his neck
and one end of it thrown over a tree,
the story related, although no effort
was made to draw it tight.
"Piersol thought his day had come."
Webb said, "and was facing death.
But he maintained throughout that ho
and the others were innocent."
Rope Enforce Threat.
Paul O'Day, County Prosecutor of
Green County, after returning to
Springfield today from Stockton, de
clared there was no truth to the state
ments that ropes had been used or
anyone hanged by the mob. However,
residents of Hunmansville, IS miles
east of Stockton, and at Nevada, west
of the little town, declared there was
little question but that a rope had been
placed around Piersol's neck.
Local and Federal authorities here
continuing their investigation of the
disappearance of the baby, have given
no indication of intending to alter the
warrants under which the six prisoners
were being held.
Inquest I Postponed.
The formal charge is that of attempt
ing to commit a felony by planning
abductions, the cases referred to being
alleged plans to kidnap C A. Clement,
a wealthy Jeweler here, a baby and a
St. Louis munitions maker. The Keet
case has not come within the scope of
the warrants.
The Coroner's Inquiry into the case,
set for tomorrow, today was post
poned until Wednesday morning.
Authorities said tonight that additional
revelations of their inquiries would be
made then and that undoubtedly a
recommendation would be made for
the arrest of several persons, against
whom suspicions have been cast.
Mother's. Life In Danger.
The baby's funeral will be held to
morrow. Both the baby's mother and
his grandmother. Mrs. J. M. Keet. were
nder the care of physicians today and
fears were expressed that they would
not recover.
The grandmother is one of the city's
wealthiest residents and volunteered
to furnish any amount of money needed
to ransom little Lloyd. She is SI
years old.
