Railroad Signalmen, which has beenj
taking a - strike vote, promised to
maintain, the status quo pending
further conferences.

ened strike of maintenance of way
men having been prevented Tuesday

ed strong hopes of a quick settlement
*'? ?k Qf tjje shopmen's strike. B. M. Jewell,
,'i' s. head of the shopmen, today reiterated
^fcformer statements that the shopmen
'^^were willing to consider a settlement
proposition submitted by any authoritative
body.
The situation is improving so far
as the strike is concerned, Mr. Jewell
said, asserting that he had received
reports from several points that
"what few men that did remain at
work last Saturday and Monday joinad
the walkout Wednesday."
Mr. Jewell said he had received a
telegram from J. F. Valentine of Cincinnati,
head of the International
Moulders' union, authorizing a walkout
of moulders employed on railroads.
He also exhibited telegrams
from heads of the "ladies' auxiliaries"
of the shopmen's organization in
which it was stated that the women i
were doinc nicket dutv
Mr. Jewell did not reply today to
the letter of Chairman Hooper, which
was considered conciliatory in some
quarters, but said he expected to make
reply after studying it closely. Mr.
Hooper, in his letter, advised the shopmen
to cooperate with the labor
board.
The sixth day of the shopmen's
strike was marked by little violence
except for a few sporadic outbreaks
in widely spattered sections.
At Albuquerque, N. M., where two
Tmni 'WWU U?Wi, uuy iHflii nd

before the railway shop strikers today
and urged them to conduct the strike
peacefully. A warrant had been issued
for the arrest of one shopman.

men had been turned away because no
more helpers were needed.

CALLS ON HARDING
TO CLOSE SALOONS
Washington, July 6. ? President
Harding and Chairman Lasker of the
shipping board were charged by Senator
Caraway (Democrat) of Arkansas
in the senate today, With flagrant
violation of the prohibition laws in
permitting the sale of liquor on shipping
board vessels. The senator said
,Jall Christian Americans protest"
ogainst such sale of liquor.
Elmer Schlesinger, general counsel
of the shipping board, who gave the I
opinion that sale of liquor was legal,
on American vessels beyond the ter-|
ritorial limits of the United States,
was described by Senator Caraway as
a "wet" and an attorney for interests
which fought the prohibition ct.
"The man responsible for the most
flagrant violation of the 18th amendment
and the Volstead act is the president
of the United States. The president
could instruct the shipping
board to close the saloons on all ships
operated by the emergency fleet corporation,"
said Senator Caraway.
"The president knows, all know, that
were he to give such an order, Mr.
I.asked would obey it."
Senator Caraway referred to President
Harding's speech July 4 at Marion,
declaring for enforcement of the
prohibition laws, and also to the recent
statement attributed to Secretary
Weeks suggesting a beer and wine
modification of the Volstead act.
"Can his apologists deny that he
(the president) connives at the breaking
down of public morale?" asked
Senator Caraway, adding that apparently
Secretary Weeks expressed the
personal sentiment of the executive.
Senator Caraway referred to prosecutions
of a former service man in
Baltimore for possession of liquor and
to seizure for a local excursion boat
owned by a negro and on which liquor
was found. He added that the Republican
party posed as solicitious of
the negro, having recently reported
out the Dyer anti-lynching bill "aimply
to give Senator Yodge the negro
support in his race for reelection."
The Washington negro, Senator Caraway
asserted, "in a small way imitated
the methods that are pursuit hpAmerican
ships."

MANY SUFFER IN 1
SUBWAY TUNNEL
New York, July 6 (By the Associated
Press).?Trapped in a dark subway
tunnel, 75 feet below the street i
and reeking with gas fumes and i
smoke, nearly 500 men, women and
children passengers on an East Side
train of the Interborough Rapid
Transit company today were convert- 1
ed into a frenzied, shrieking mob, al- '
most a third of whose members were
overcome before they could fight their
way to safety.
Three probably will die. Police officials
said it seems a miracle that
many were not trampled to death.
n A worse spot for such an accident
C/?U rnnl?t /villi.1 Loun Konn ri A 4-V* r* r*
- J XV.U1IU V..?..
Lexington avenue at Sixtieth street,
where the train came to Its sudden
halt. There is no express station between
Grand Central terminal at
Forty-second and Eighty-sixth
streets. The express tracks are three
tiers down beneath the locul tube of
the Interborough Rapid Transit company,
and the cross town tunnel of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company,
and the only exits are narrow little
spiral stairways at Fifty-third, Fiftyeighth
and Sixty-third streets. These
were jammed with fugitives from the
scene below.
A little fire extinguisher, whose
contents were turned on a tiny blaze
in a motorman's control box, was held
responsible by police and fire officials
for the clouds of poisonous fumes and
smoke sent swirling through the tunnel.
More than three score of those overcome
required hospital treatment,
while about 100 were treated on the
streets and in emergency hospitals.
The train?a ten car Jerome ave
nue express, heavily loaded ? was
crashing along its subterranean way
beneath Lexington avenue shortly after
11 o'clock when passengers in the
third coach were startled by an explosion
which blew open the door of
the , driver's compartment. A short
circuit had occurred.
Patrolman Fred Norman, who was
riding in the car, seized a fire extinguished
from its racks and, as the
train grpqnded to a sudden halt,
rushed to the compartment and shot
ting flames which were eating the insulation
from the control box. Instead
of checking them, ne declared
the extinguisher served only to spread
them, and in a moment the car and
soon the entire tunnel were choked
with smoke and fumes.
Bullying the panic stricken passengers
into some semblance of order,
Patrolman Norman seized a woman,
who had been overcome, clambered
down into the darkness of the tunnel
and commanded other male passengers
to follow his example.
He groped his way with his burden
to Fifty-ninth street and led the refugees
up a long, windins emergency
stairway to the street.
Then he sent in alarms which
brought all available fire apparatus,
ambulances and police reserves in the
vicinity rushing to the scene and
plunged back down the stairs to resi
cue other victims. He worked until
he dropped, and was sent home in
Mayor Hylan's private limousine,
i In the meantime, passengers in the
other cars of the stalled train, ignoi
rant at first of the cause of the delay,
were growing nervous and the guards
opened the doors and advised them to
seek safety.. Smoke and fumes poured
in as the doors were opened, and
they dropped frantically to the tracks
5 and began making their way toward
j the Faraway exits. Many, fearing the
} | deadly third rail, dropped down on
their hands and knees and literally
crawled to safety.
A moment after the general push
for safety started, a south bound express
roared in on the opposite track
and around to sudden halt as train
lights and tunnel lights went dark.
Power had been shut off to save the
passengers from the electric current,
but the darkness only added to the
panic and the passengers on this train
smashed their way out of the cars and
joined in the scramble for exits.
Men, women and children were
y dropping in their tracks as the fumes.
r the smoke and the excitement overcame
them. Others of stronger physique
and stronger nerves picked them
up and dragged them along to safetv.

Makes Good Cotton
Anderson, July G.?When a man j?

while he is walking on the street, immediately
the mind goes to "what the

sigh of relief that the story of a young
farmer was told on Tuesday. A. J.
Holliday had a stalk of cotton that
was 30 inches in height, had 24
squares on it, two blooms and three
well-former bolls. This, Mr. Holliday
said, is a sample of what his cotton is,
and he has 100 acres just like it?this
was made with just plain fertilizer,
and no nitrate of soda, and he has not
seen a boll weevil on his place which
is in Hall township, 12 miles from
Anderson. He has other cotton which
is even better in spots than this, but
it has been highly fertilized. It surely
is a relief to find one farmer who is
not crying "boll weevil."

Chief among the opinions yesterday
ere the decisions reversing the cir
lit court in the Tom Harrison case
Greenville and upholding the conction
of A. Fred Hemply on a charge
: murder in Spartanburg county.
court orders the Harrison case
ick to Greenville county for another
ial.
Tom Harrison killed his wife and
as convicvted of manslaughter. He
as sentenced to serve 15 years i..
e penitentiary. In his appeal Harson
claimed the killing was accisntal,
that he wus shooting at anher
man. suDDosedlv Monk Ynnni'.
Justice Fraser, who wrote the opinio,
makes the following statement:
rhe solicitor said to this court clurig
his argument against the appeal
lat the conviction of Harrison was
triumph for decency for Greenville
>untv and the reversal of the convic011
would be nothing short of a
ilamity for law enforcement in the
mnty."
Continuing, Justice Fraser says:
There is a greater calamity, still,
hat may occur and that is for the
aurts to sanction a conviction of the
norst of men by the destruction of the
[institutional protection guaranteed
) (.very citizen in the trial by jury.'"
Justice Fraser recites the followlg
charge made by Judge Mem
linger to the jury: "Now, if there is
onicbody on that jury that is abolutely
fixed and made up in his
lind and determined that he will not
ecide this case, then I am going to
nd it out; it will be known and there
/ill be some notice taken of it. I am
ddressing you as gentlemen and fair
nd honorable of this kind and I have
lad no occasion to believe that any
ime when I have held court here that
man went on the jury and behaved
therwise. I am satisfied you will
:ive it a fair and deliberate and eareu|
consideration and not stay there
nd hold out, just bent on a convicion
of some idea that you have got
tt serve one side or the other. A
ftnWctlAfliS anmAtKlnd>ffint ariaan ont
if the testimony in the case."
In regard to the charge the court
avs: "It is true his honor told thv'
ury that he believed they were fair
ind honorable, but he left that mater
open. The charge contained a
hreat to invade the secrecy of the
iury room and punish the juror or
iurors responsible for a mistrial. Tht>
tonesty of the juror or jurors responsible
for the mistial depends not on
their own estimate, hut that of the
:-ourt. This was clearly destructive
if the right to trial by jury."
Other exceptions made by the at tor
neys for the defense are overruled
by the court.

o'clock this afternoon when the boat
in which he was crossing the river
capsized, throwing Mr. Garrett, Steve

ashore while Mr. Perry, unable to
swim, clung to the overturned boat
and was carried down the river for
four miles before he was able to
grasp the overhanging limb of a tree
and climb to safety.
Mr. Garrett was one of a party of
surveyors who are engaged in making
a survey of a proposed power line

wateree to tamden. With ateve ferry,
a Camden boy, and the negro
boatman he was crossing from the
main channel of the river to an island
this afternoon when the boat began
leaking, finally capsizing. The negro,
who was nearest Mr. Garrett, says
that he saw the surveyor go down
when thrown from the boat and did
not see him come to the surface
again. After swimming ashore the
negro called Mr. Garrett repeatedly,
but received no answer.
The power plant about two miles
away was notified and the plant shut
down, the water in the river fulling
several feet. A search was begun
for the body, but up to late tonight
the search had been in vain.
Mr. Garrett came from Greenville
I to join the surveying party only a
i few days ago.
