"y, is taken to mean that the ' s lies cabinet meetings and min- 1 ia.ei a! conferences in the last few days have been partly in preparation ' for pc.ssible attacks in the British torces by the Kcmalists and partly as political preparation for the conteni- ' plated general conference for the set- > tlement of the Turkish question. 1 While it is not seriously expected ? in military quarters tnat Mustapna < Kemal, head of the Turkish Nationalists, will make an attempt either to i capture Constantinople or cross the i straits, the British wish to be ready 1 n case of emergency and not sacrifice the meagre contingent of troops, long 1 stationed in Constantinople. 1 The many statements issued with 1 the permission of number 10 Downing < street after each conference are in- t tcrpreted as emphasing the intention 1 of the cabinet to jarry out the pol- 1 icy which it has faithfully adhered to for more than three years regard- 1 ing Turkey and the straits, and, de- I spite much criticism at home and I abroad, that policy, which, is coupled i with the Greek defeats, will still be vigorously followed. The first task of Premier Lloyd I George is to win the French to his < point of view. Great Britain is lay. i ing h<*r cards on the table, and it is < not her intention, it is said, to at- { tempt to make a new Gibraltar of Gallipoli; she merely wishes not to < give the Turks another opportunity 1 in case of a general war to waste ] so many European lives by Turkish t control of the straits. British secretary for foreign affairs, , is with the Turks, but Lord Curson j who is proceeding to Paris, will i nections by fotcin^ the Turks to accept a European settlement of the ( straits, then France can afford to , yield and cooperate with the British , in a Turkish peace.

The crew in charge of the government engineers went iown the tunnel at eight o'clock. Jackson, Calif., Sept. 19.?Fortyseven miners died in the Argonaut nine on August 26.

Jackson, Calif., Sept. 18 (By the Associated Press).?All 47 of the niners entombed in the Argonaut nine August 27 are dead, it was announced officially shortly before 9 >'clock tonight. A not e found on one of the bodies ndicated that all of the men had died within five hours of the beginning of ;he fire August 27, officials said. All of the miners were found be- < lind the second of two bulkheads they lad built m a cros cut 4,350 feet down ;he mine. Byron O. Pickard, chiet if the federal bureau of mines for his district, was the first man to go lehind the bulkhead and discover the lodies. Pickard, on an earlier exploration lehind the bulkhead, had counted 42 lodies and expressed the belief then that there were others there. The lote found read as follows: "**3 a. m., gas bad." The same note bore a scrawled igure "4," apparently indicating the same man had attempted to leavo word for those who might come after of the condition of the mine at t :hat hour. Mine officials declared that the con iition of the cross cut behind the lulkhead was such that life could not tiave been sustained there by the entombed men for mode than five hours. The bodies were piled one on top if another and decomposition had sofar progressed that identification would be impossible, Pickard reported. taurt a&er being; entombed. The officials declared the mute evidence of the men's struggles showed they were 47 of the most :ool headed men imaginable. Sixteen of the ?entrapped miners removed their clothes to provide material for stuffing the cracks in the wooden barrier, hastily constructed which was found early this evening. Then another barrier was built of rock, earth and debris. However, the <as and fumes from the fire apparsntly seeped through the first bulk and the men fled from the site where they were building the second one, to start a third farther on. This third attempt to wall off the Jeath dealing gas was made at the end of the 4,350 foot cross cut in the Argonaut, but the fact that only a tuiro afnrt wua muiln at it nroved. the mine officials said, that the deadly carbon monoxide and the suffocating ?arbon dioxide had reached it and performed their fatal office before the 47 unfortunates could raise even an excuse for a barrier. Mine officials said that death had :ome to the entombed men painlessly. The gasses, they said, would produce first a lethargy, then a coma and finally death.

Smith to serve 12 years in the state penitentiary at hard labor. Harron Grier, one of the attorneys for the defense, did not arrive until 3 o'clock, being lied up in the Under wood case in Greenwood this week. Mr. Grier arrived in time to make an appeal for leniency to Judge Smith and asked that the judge not give a more severe sentence than the resident judge did in the first trial Judge Smith was firm in his stand and held that the fact in the case warranted a sentence of 12 years. About a year and a half ago Ashley received the same verdict and was sentenced to 11 years in the penitentiary. Upon an appeal for leniency to Judge George E. Prince the sentence was changed to ten years. Ashley was released on bond pending an appeal to the supreme cour*. which granted him a new trial.
