RUCK BORE
Jackson Tense With Apprehen
sion as Final Hours Bring
Nearer Answer of Life, Death
Fifty Feet of Quartz Separates
Crews From Tunnel Where
47 Were Buried 21 Days Ago
At Argonaut Mine, Jackson, Cai..
Sept. 16. (TJ. P.) Fifty feet of slate
and quartz tonight stood between the
. 'world and the answer to the question
, of whether the 47 imprisoned Argonaut
. miners were dead or alive.
Sometime tomorrow probably late in
the day and approximately 21 days
from ' the hour when fire and cave-In
imprisoned the night shift at one of
.California's most famous gold mines
the question probably will be an-
Swered.
That was the word which went out
tonight from rescue headquarters here.
Xo formal time was set for the rescue,
tut deductions seemed to place It as a
possibility of the next 24 hours.
JACKSON IS TENSE
Jackson, as a result, was tense with
excitement.
The strain of three weeks of wait
ing which a week ago had the old
mining camp plunged in gloom, had
swung through another cycle and had
: carried th no du lace to dizzy heights
of expectancy and excitement.
Nervous groups stood on street cor
ners or knotted In front of the places
which onee were saloons, talking ex
citedly of the hour of rescue.
In the homes of the Imprisoned min
ers lamps burned brightly and it was
an open . secret that in many of .the
i homes slippers were in front of the
'tJftpWA.-f,) beds were spread with
new linen In anticipation of the home
coming which, is expected tomorrow.
SITTTATIOIf TRAGIC
To one able to sit by and observe. It
seemed as if the tensity and the pos
sible tragedy of the situation might
prove almost too much for human fiber
to endure in case dead bodies, instead
w of living mortals, should be given up
- when the door leading to daylight is
opened.
': Tonight the rescue committee, aug
mented by a half dozen nationally
known mining engineers and safety ex
perts, went into what may be its last
conference. Maps were poured over,
chemists' reports on analysis of gases
were studied, apparatus was Inspected
and every detail set for the final dash
which will mean liberty If the men are
found alive.
News sent to tPe surface showed that
, the crew on th 3t5:l'.t-foot level was
making rapid progress faster than at
any time for days.- considering the na
ture . of the solid rock formation
through which it was driving.
VII,L FIXISH SECOXD
The second crew on the 3900-foot
level was driving forward with equal
energy, although it seemed certain
that it would -finish second in the
raf tn njnr raf.i f Vi o Arrnnflui shaft.
, . . - - - . - ' o
C- . 1 . . .
, guard the mine property and prevent
anyone interfering with the work. Un
der the direction of the sheriff all
roads leading to the mouth of the
mine were closed, excepting to rescue
workers, mine officials. Red Cross
representatives and accredited news
papermen.
At the head of the shaft a Red Cross
hut was ready with hot coffee for the
workers, and with first aid equipment
for any jP'ho might need it.
Not far away were the 47 hospital
cOts. ready to receive ' the 47 men
should they be alive.
- Somewhere, hidden from sight but
nevertheless present, were an equal
number of shrouds laid in their places
w ith a prayer that, they might remain
forever useless.
No one in the town seemed to sleep
tonight. AH was expectancy. For to
morrr seemed certain to carry with
H ann-wer to. the one big question :
Are the miners still alive?

Nine New Votaries of Flowers
Initiated at The Auditorium;
New Bloom Is Christened.
Nine new votaries to the queen of
flowers were duly initiated as mem
bers of the Royal Rosarian organiza
tion at a mass meeting held Saturday
night at The Auditorium. The new
members of the order . were selected
from among the 4000 delegates attend
ing the triennial General Convention
f the episcopal church, and the, cele
bration in honor of tne initiates proved
a pleasing innovation in the program
pf the convention.
Preparations for the event had been
In progress for several days and, the
main auditorium was made fragrant
and colorful with thousands of choice
roses gathered from private gardens
and municipal parks by committees ap
pointed by the management of 23
branch libraries of tne city.
In addition to the masses of bloom
banked about the speakers platform
and the throne of the ruler of the
Hosarians, boutonn.cres and bouquets
were distributed lavishly among the
audience.
The ceremony of initiation was im
pressive in its simplicity and joyous
In spirit. The regali of the bishops
of the church, the gay uniforms of the
Royal Rosarianj and the myriad tints
of hundreds of varieties of roses
formed a composite of rare beauty.
Adoration of Portland's floral emblem
was fittingly expressed in the musical
program furnished by the 45 members
of the Rosarian band.
The event was mads memorable
among rose culturists by the christen
ing of a new bloom propagated by
Captain George C. Thomas and the
principal speaker of the evening was
Bishop Nathaniel Thomas of Wyo
ming, who for 20 years was rector of
the church in Philadelphia attended
by Captain Thomas. ;
Three medals were awarded to Cap
tain Thomas at the meeting in recog
nition of his exploit in producing the
best garden variety of rose submitted
for inspection last year.

INTO FIGHT?
There Are Those Who Declare
Governor Lured Hall Out in
Order to Split Pierce Support
However That May Be, Political
Camps Are All in Uproar,
Afraid of What May Happen
With Charles Hall of Marshfleld
slated for a place on the official bal
lot as an independent candidate for
governor ; with the air full of political
rumors and counter rumors floating
about that fact ; and with the plain In
tent of the statute seemingly defied by
the Hall candidacy, the gaping poli
ticians are speculating and wondering
what the next step in the campaign
drama will be, and which direction it
will tend. Never before, even in the
good old days, has the state faced
such a political melange.
Ben Olcott Is the nominee of the Re
publican primary. He has the support
of the Republican state central com
mittee and its organisation. He has
also, the opposition within his own
party ranks of those influences which
opposed h'.m in the primary campaign
and supported HalL
PIERCE STRENGTH OH.OWS
Walter M. Pierce Is the nominee of
the Democratic party. - He has behind
him the Democratic organization, and,
if rumor is borne out by execution,
will have the Indorsement of the pro
gressive party when it meets on Tues
day next. He , will : have behind him.
outside of his own party also, the Clif
ford faction of the Federated Patriotic
societies, which, at the primary elec
tion, was Inle behind Hall. t
Hall defeated-tr the. tvrtmary elec
tion as a Republican, now stands again
before the voters , tus the independent
nomine of "an assembly of 100 elec
tors, presumably brought Into being1
by the "Orangemen faction of the
Federated Societies, opposed both to
Olcott and to Pierce.
Before this combination of candida
cies, party lines have broken down and ;
as the campaign progresses, undoubt
edly will be swept aside by the same
issues that made the primary cam
paign so bitterly fought out between I
Olcott and HalL But this time. If Hall i
stays in the race, it will be Olcott
against Hall and Pierce, for both the
latter now divide between them the
impulse that swept Hall so close to
the Republican nomination In May.
SUPPORT DWINDLES
Hall was in Portland yesterday, but
he was not talking about his future
plans. Important business called him
here, he said, though he added that
before returning to the Coos country
he intended to meet with his close po
litical friends and advisers here.

America Will Keep
Hands Off in Turk
Scrap, It Is Belief
Washington. Sept. IS. (U. P.) The
United States is entirely free of any
entangling politiial commitments that
might involve us in the Near East
trouble, and the only policy the ad
ministration has with respect to it
is to remain free, it was stated to
night In a responsible official quarter.
The administration has not consid
ered officially the possibility of Amer
ican involvement, either in the politi
cal situation or in a Turko-European
war, should that occur.
Officials declined to answer ques
tions as to the probable course of this
government In the event of a war be
tween Mustapha. Kemal and European
powers upon the ground that such a
question Is not even remotely before
the United States.
Sfate and nary officials disclaimed
any Intention of augmenting at this
time the naval force now in the Near
East waters. The small destroyer
squadron now there, under command
of Rear Admiral Mark Bristol, Amer
ican commissioner at Constantinople,
is adequate at present to protect Amer
ican lives and property, it was stated. ;
Later, under the terms of an inter
national relief plan now being worked1
out in conjunction with other govern
ments, the United. States might send i
an army transport to help move i
refugees, it was indicated. -

UNIVERSITY
OF OREGON'S
DRIVEBEGINS
"Ten Million Dollars in Ten
Years," Slogan of Campaign
Managers in Campaign Fund.
Increased Enrollment Keeps
Ahead of Millage Moneys;
Public Donations Are Urgent.
With a contribution of $25,000 from
alumni and other citizens of Eugene
available to defray expenses of the
activity for two years, the University
of Oregon yesterday launched a 10
year campaign to obtain gifts from in
dividual citizens of the state to aid in
providing for the rapid growth of the
Institution.
"Ten million dollars in 10 years" is
the slogan adopted by the campaign
organization.
President P. L. Campbell made pub
lic last night the news of the J25.0O0
donation for campaign expenses, and
anounced that on Monday W. K. New
ell, former member of the legislature
and of the university board of re
gents, will take charge of campaign
headquarters on the campus. Work
on a headquarters building, financed
from the fund, will start tomorrow. .
TOOZE FIELD DIRECTOR
Lamar Tooze, an Oregon alumnus
and practicing attorney of McMlnn
vllle, will become field director. He
Is ' moving to ugene and will devote
all of his time to the work for two
years. Miss Grace Edging-ton of Hood
River will be secretary of the alumni
organisation.
Last fall, at a meeting of the board
pf regents. President Campbell re-;
ported the .necessity jf priyts bene
factions to supplement state support.
He pointed out at this time that the
university enrollment was Increasing
nearly 20 per cent a year while prop
erty valuations, the basis of the mill-
age support, nas Deen nearly station
ary for some years. The proposed
campaign was discussed by the board
of regents at the fall meeting and
adopted by the alumni at the June
commencement.
The financing of the first two years
of the campaign is made- possible by
citizens of Eugene. As soon as they
heard an unknown donor had . depos
ited "110,000 in cash In one of the local
banks, to become available as soon as
matched with $15,000 more to be raised
in the University city, they contrib
uted the fund at once.
PBOUEAM PRACTICABLE
"Ten million dollars in 10 years"
represents a prosram that is perfectly
practicable for the University of Ore
gon, according to President Campbell.
"At first sight the amount may seem
large, and, the time short." he said,
"but those, alumni and friends of the
university who are behind the move
ment are convinced that the goal can
be attained. Actual donations to the
university have already reached a
considerable volume without any or
ganization or promotion. The gifts of
the last two years aggregate not far
from half a millidn. We already have

Dr. Emhardt arrived in Portland Sat

"Six weeks ago conditions such as
this were not dreamed of," he said.
"The people were apparently happy,
At that time there was hope of victory
over the Turks, which I feel possibly
would have been accomplished had the
Creeks not 4nade their demonstration

they drew away some of their best

advance which swept over Smyrna.
The Mohammedan revival sweeping the
Near East appears to me to be the

regain the political and territorial po

He believed that the idea of putting

proper education of thie children in
agricultural and business pursuits can
America perform a permanent service
to them. "The work of salvation from
death must be followed by constructive

as far as Armenians are concerned, to

Coal Profits Sent
To Harding to Sign
Washington, Sept, 16. (IT. P.) Ef
forts by the government to prevent
profiteering in coal as a sequel to
the recently ended strike advanced a
step when the senate today passed the
conference report on the anti-profiteering
bill. The measure, already finally
passed on by the house, now goes to
President Harding,
The bill grants wide powers to the
Interstate commerce commission to
prevent profiteering by placing em
bargoes against dealers making un
reasonable profits.
This measure Is one of three upon
which the administration is .counting
to insure an a'dequate coal supply this
winter to ordinary consumers at rea
sonable prices. .
The other two are :
1. The . Borah coal commission
measure, now in conference, creating
a fact-finding commission with power
to get data on production and dis
tribution oosts. . These facts would.
expose profiteers, officials hold.
2. Secretary Hoover's plan for a
voluntary agreement by public , utili
ties and big Industries to buy coal on
a "day to day" basis, instead of com
peting for a big supply, thus running
up. the price and depriving house
holders of their share.
