TRAGEDY MARKS END
OF BAPTISMAL SERVICE j
Ten Thousand Look On As One of
“Bishop” C. M. Grace’s Deacons Is
Drowned.
Charlotte. Sept. 25. —Grim, stark
tragedy brought to an end today the
second baptismal service of “Bishop”
(\ M. Grace, Portugese “faith heal
er.” after he had baptized about 700
converts. i
Ten thousand people looked on in
horror as the muddy wdters at Clinton
park bathing pool closed over the
struggling form of Willie Green, ne
gro. one of tlw deacons in the “House
,of Prayer.” I
Although *«cuetl a few otoments
after he was\*een the lorF time, tire '
i Jlsgtd’* yLcga intm K onscß»Uid»£*M» |
ami was pronounced dead by a negro j
physician after an hour’s frantic es- 1
fort at resuscitation.
The deacon's death brought on anti- !
climax to the religious eetasy which !
Lad preceded the final moments of j
the services.
The enrmous crowd slowly and j
thoughtfully dispersed, part of ('he j
women weeping loudly as they went.
A call for volunteers had been made j
and the response had been more than
gratifying from the bishop's stand
point. They splashed in from every
side of .the*pool. Many of them were
in deep water and unable to swim.
Most of them were rescued by men |
o i the banks. The bis'uop and some
of his deacons assisted in the rescu
ing.
Then, in the temporary lull, watch
ers on the bank noted the man in dis
tress. He hobbled up and down, wav
ing his arms above his head when he
came above the water, , each time
more feebly t'nan before.
Several of the deacons, on a nearbyj
bank, plunged in but after a feeble j
effort to pull him out, they swam
away.
Bubbles rose from the water while
men gesticulated and women shrieked.
Wild Confusion
The scene was one of wild confu
sion. Men rushed from all -sides and
plunged into the water. Clad fully,
they clumsily dived in their search
for the man.
A member of the city sanitary force
dived and brought the man to t’ae
surface of the water. Eager hands
reached by scores and pulled the un
conscious man to the bank where first
aid measures were used.
After ten or fifteen minutes work, (
Dr Edson E. Blackman, negro, of 522
Eatt Boundary street, took charge of
the man and worked with him for
some time and ’then pronounced him
dead. The drowned man was 39
yean, of age.
Candidates Numerous
Today’s baptismal exercises started
with a promise of being even more
successful titan the exercises two
weeks .ago.
The “candidates,” almost as numer
ous as on the former occasion, were
from widely scattered' territory, it is
reported. Surrounding towns and
cities contributed their share of con
verts.
The audience was much larger than
on the first baptism. It is estimated
that over 10,000 watched the bishop
from the rim of the lake.
Three white women, one Chinaman
and a negro of seven were baptized
firs'. Then followed the long line.
A number of very small children and
a few aged men and . women were
among the “candidates.”
M M. Madden, the “bishop’s”
right hand man* told his audience in
the tent at Caldwell and Third
streets, that the bishop was leaving
Monday and that he would conduct
the services this week.
The “bishop” himself spoke of the
drowning briefly. He summed up his
remarks by asserting that it was bet
ter* to die in the “House of Prayer”
than to die in a gambling den or
i smoking a cigarette,
i He later took a collection to defray
i funeral expenses of the drowned ne
gro.

FIVE EXCURSIONISTS
DROWNED IN OHIO
Were Being Ferried Across River to
Homes When Their Skiff Capsized.
Pomeroy, 0., Sept. 2T. —W 3
excursionists were drowned in the
Ohio river here early today.
They were being ferried across the
Ohio river to their homes in Pomeroy
after having spent Sunday in Pitts
burgh When their skiff capsized. The
skiff was carrying nine passengers
and the. ferryman when it went down.
Five were rescued.
Those drowned included four wom
en and a seven months old baby. They
were:
Mrs. A. C. Faulk, 50; assistant
superintendent of the local street car
company and wife of L. R. H. Foulk,
a newspaper man.
Mrs. John Meir, 52.
Mrs. Robert Hunnell, 38.
Mrs. Will Sponagle, 42, and her
seven months old baby.
The river is at a high stage and
while the boat went down near the
shore on the West Virginia side at

occurred.
Must Seat Smith and Vare and Then
Unseat Them, Says Overman.
Washington, Sept. 24.—Senator
Overman. North Carolina, ranking
Democrat of the Senate judiciary
[committee, declared today that al
though Frank L. Smith, of Illinois,
and William S. Vare, of Pennsyl
vania, Republican nominees probably
would not be permitted to serve in
the Senate if they are elected, r.*iey
would have to be seated . and then
ousted.
“Under all precedents, the Senate
will have to seat them if sovereign
states send them here as their qua.i
fied representatives. After they are
seated, the move would then be to
declare their seats vacant and give
them a hearing of charges of excess
ive expenditures in their campaign-
The American people will never
stand for auctioning off Senate seats
and if the newspaper accounts are
true’ that ’« what happened in
Smith’s and Vare’s primaries.”
For dashing the hopes of pennant
contenders, the lowly Boston Braves
appear to be in a class all by them

NORTH CAROLINA’S
GOOD GOVERNMENT
The Republican Party l* Hopelessly
\\ reeked on This Account., '
Tribune Brueau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigii, Sept. 27.—“ The Republi
can party in this and in coming cam
paign is hopelessly wrecked, because
of the consistently good and efficient
government which has been given the
people of the State by the Democratic
party,” said John G. Dawson, chair
man of the State Democratic commit
fee, in an exclusive interview today
with The Tribune correspondent, in
the first formal statement t’aat has yet
been given out from. Democratic head
quarters here. “It is not necessary
to mention all the attainments of the
party in the State since* it has been
in control —space would not permit of
it. But the oustanding accomplish
ments of the party are known to ev
ery or>o
“First, of course, come the splendid
highway system, than which there is
none better in the United States, the
dir Act result of Democratic foresight
and constructive accomplishment. No
other one thing has served better to
unify the State in aims and interest
and common pride in the State it
self than the building of its highways.
And ranking along in almost equal
importance is the excellent schools
w hieli have come about through the
wise development of the State’s pub
lic instruction program by Democrat
ic administrations. In fact, ever since
Governor Aycock snatched the State
and its schools from under the menac
ing shadow of Republican spoliation
and domination, education has been
on the upgrade in the State, even
though the way has been long.
“And perhaps the next outstand
ing achievement of Democratic gov
ernment in the State has been the
forward steps taken in the matter of
I-üblic health work —the task of mak
ing North Carolina a safe state in
which to live from a health stand
point. It is only necessary to con
sult the mortality records, to note the
great decrease in typhoid and other
communicable diseases and the general
decrease in the death rate to see the
results of this work,” said Mr. Daw
son.
In fact, so convinced have the peo
ple of the State become of the benefits
of continued Democratic control in
State affairs, that there has been a
growing tendency for the past eight
or ten years for the continuance of
unbroken Democratic administration
in the State, even in those sections of
the State which in national matters
are generally Republican. The peo
ple of these sections have awakened
to the futility of gaining a voice on
State government—or in Congress
es a party, and have as a result, in
many cases, decided that it was better
to turn their efforts toward the se
lection of the highest type of Demo
crats as their representatives, and
have done so most consistently.
It is only necessary to look at the
results of the general elections in th ;
State from 1918 to 1924 to not§ the
growing tide of Democratic votes, and
the constant decrease in the number
of Republican votes cast. Take; 1 for
instance, the off-year election of 1918,
and the contest for the Senate be
tween Senator F. M. Simmons and
John M. Morehead, and the next most
important race, for chief justive of
ilit? Supreme (’mu*! kAtimnu Waite;
equipment of (he barbershop used.
The reason for the change which
has taken place, in the opinion of
barbers long in the business, is the
improvement in sanitary methods.
Running water, hot and cold, is al
ways available. The shaving equip
ment is kept sterilized. Danger of in
fection in barber shops has been re
duced to jl minimum by the advent of
26 h century sanitary methods.
In some sections of the country
regular inspection of barbering equip
ment which touches the face are re
quired to be sterilized after each cus
tomer departs and the penalties are
severe for violation of these rules.
The visits of the inspectors are never
fixed and one may drop in almost
a*ny time. In this section, to a cer
tain extent, there is inspection but
for the most part the barbers them
selves by the adoption of improved
methods have rendered the daily shave
safe.
Clark and William P. Bynum. The
results follow:
For senator:
F. M. Simmons —143,218.
John M, Morehead—93,ff97.
For chief justice:
Walter Clark—l43,2lß.
Wm. P. 8ynum—93,675.
Thus it wi'.l be seen that Sena
tor Simmons and Judge Clarke both
•and majorities of approximately 50,-
000, and in an off-year election.
Take next the figures from the elec
tion of 1920, in which Senator Lee
S. Overman was opposed by A. E.
Holton, and the race for governor be
tween Cameron Morrison and John
J. Parker. Here are the official re
sults :
For senator:
Lee S. Overman —310.504.
A. E. H01t0n—229,343.
For governor:
Cameron Morrison —308,151.
John J. Parker—23o.l7s.
Thus it will be seen that Senator
Overman polled 81,261 more Demo
cratic votes than the total number
of Republican votes cast, and that
Cameron Morrison polled 77.976 more
Democratic votes than the total num
ber of votes for llie Republican can
didate l'or governor. 1
In the lection of 1922, another
off-year election, there were but two
state-wide contests, those between W.
T. liee and Charles M. Hoover for
corporation commissioner and William
J. Adams and E. W. Timberlake for
associate justice of the Supreme
Court. The total vote in these con
tests was as follows:
For corporation commissioner:
W. T. Lee—225,803.
L'has. M Hoover —140,992.
For associate justice : '
William J. Adams—22s,72B.
E. W. Timberlake—l4o.9so.
Even in an off-year election, another
gain in the number of Democratic
votes over Republican votes is shown,
the majorities in the two races above
being 84,811 and 84,878 respectively.
■ Next comes the 1924 election, in
whicii the number of Democratic votes
cast over Republican votes cast climbs
to still larger total. Here are the
figures in the Simmons-Whiterter sen
atorship contest, and tue McLeau-
Mticking gubernatorial raee :
For senator:
F. M. Simmons —295.404.
A. A. Whitener —184,393.
For governor:
A. W. McLean—294,44l.
Isaac M. MeCkins—-185,627.
Thus in the senatorial race, 111,011
more Democratic than Republican'
votes were cast and for governor, Mc-
Lean polled 108,814 more votes than
his opponent.
Thus a steady increase in the Dem
ocratic vote over flie Republican vote
is clearly discernible . from 1918
through 1924, and according to all
indications, it should be still greater
at the forthcoming election.

000—Guards Relieved of
Duty in Miami.
Miami, Ela.. Sept. 27.—MP)—Mi
ami and her neighboring communities
in the storm swept area today resum
ed the task of rehabilitation after a
Sabbath observance.
Observation through the greater Mi
ami zone during the week of recon
struction has prompted an estimate of
property losses of approximately $75,-
000,000. a figure named in the origi
nal estimates, ami which was con
curred in by representative business
and c. : vic lenders.
Damage to innumerable homes,
many demomlished, others partially
wrecked, and thousands with loss of
furnishings by water was estimated at
$20,000,000. The major item in prop
erty losses. Apartment houses suf
fered approximately $2.5(H),000,
Office buildings lost windows and
furnishings, but only one structure in
this group suffered beyond repair,
that being the Meyer-Kiser building.
The total office building loss was plac
ed between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000.
Churches ami other houses of wor
ship were damaged to the extent of
$500,000.
Theatres and various amusement
structures sustained damages approx
imating $250,000. Damages to ga
rages nn<l automobiles has been esti
mated at $5,000,000.
Wharves and docks stretching along
the bay front accounted for more than
$500,000, it was estimated.
, Industries and pu'jiic utilities ex
clusive of delay ,iu production and ser
vice were believed to have borne a
loss of $5,000,000.
Shipping bore its quota of losses, a
conservative estimate being. $5,000,-
000. No craft with the exception of
large ocean going liners, escaped. More
than 150 small boats foundered in Mi
ami River, with 54 others sunk in
the bay or driven ashore, according to
partial reports by the marine commit
tee of the citizens committee.
Navy and coast guard forces today
were released from patrol duty in
Miami zone and assigned to survey
and search work. The units were or
dered to co-operate in sailing through
the Bay of Biscayne and outlying
keys, in search of stranded persons or
bodies believed to be , ; .n adjacent wat
ers. More than 350 will be engaged
in this task.
Money from all sections of the na
tion continued to pour in today the
total fund last night having aggregat
ed $191,668. Many small contribu
tions swelled the total, a large contri
bution beinf received in merchandise.
Miam. ; continued to appeal for labo.\
both skilled and common. Every able
bodied man in the city has been or
dered to obtain work or suffer arrest,
but the number received from the
ranks of the idle was not believed suf

SUPER EFFORTS BY

Sight of Distressed Man
and Women at the Pabst
Mine Drive Workers to
Feverish Pitch Today.
THREE SHIFTS OF
MEN DOING WORK
Hope to Reach 43 Miners
Held 800 Feet Under
ground. May Reach
Them Tomorrow Night.
Ircnwood. Mich., Sept. 27.— UP) —
The sight of distressed men and wom
en drove gaunt-eyed men to super ef
forts today in their effort#: to reach
43 men entombed by a cave in three
day* ago in the shaft of the Pabst
Mine of the Oliver Iron Mining Co.',
here.
The bodies of three men crushed to
death when tons of boulders and
earth crumbled the cage in the
shaft, have been recovered.
Three reparate ehitfs. eac’a having
as an objective the eighth level pf the
mine, 800 feet underground, where it
is believed the 43 men were entrap
ped. and diamond drills are the
means by which rescue workers hope
to learn the fate of the imprisoned
men-
At least one is expected to attain
it« objective by tomorrow night, al
though obstacles encountered pre
vents any accurate predetermination
to be made. Most closely watched is
the diamond dri’l which must bore
400 feet before it can reach eighth
level. Communication can be 'estab
lished through this. Food tablets,
badly needed if the men are alive,
can be lowered to them through the
small drilled hole.
The other efforts at succor are
moving with all Ihe speed which
large crews of workers can make:
Two are in the 45 degree angle shaft
filled with debris, which chockes the
entry to the eighth level.
One effort is being made from the
top with carriers removing the debris
b’oeking the way. Another is from
the bottom of the shift, reached
through lower levels after decent
from another shaft.
Another attempt is f;rom a lateral
tunnel" from atmtffrt ojiYie a cpinrter
of a mile away-
Sufficient air and seepage water is
thought to be in the level to keep the
men alive until they can be reach
ed.

NEW YORK GIVES
TUNNEY WELCOME
Now Champion Reveals Fact He Got
a Hard Blow on His Adam’s Ap
ple.
New York. Sept. 25. —When Gene
Tunney told cheering thousands at
City Hall yesterday that his voice
was husky “from a blow or several
blows on the throat in Philadelphia
the other night,” few if any any,
realized that he was referring to a
near-tragedy in his pugilistic life.
The blow r mentioned so casually
wais not taken lightly for a minutte
in Tunney’rf corner Thursday night.
A terrific book from Dempsey’s still
mighty left caught Tunney on the
Adam’s apple, near the close of the
sixth round- Tunney finished the re
maining few seconds of the round in
distress and had difficulty in breath
ing when he reached his corner.
The minute’s rest and attention
from the skillful fingers of Jimmy
Bronson restored in a measure of
the boxer’s equilibrium and none
in the crowd knew that he had been
hurt more than he cared to admit
even to himself at the time.
“A fiard blow on the aesophagus is
not pleasant,” said Tunney in dis
cussing what might have been a
narrow escape. "I was in real pain
for a moment, but happily for me. I
was able to snap out of it.”
Many instances are known of geese
attaining the age of . forty years.

HAD THE BONDS
They Are Identified as
. Some German Paid to
John T. King, Who Was
Friend of Daugherty.
New York. Sept. 27. — UP) —The
government today began the four
teenth day of the conspiracy ‘trial of
Harry M. Daugherty and Thomas W.
Miller with an attempt to trace to
the former attorney general a sum
of $50,000 of an alleged bribe of $441,-
000 paid to hasten release of $7,000,-
000 of* seized German properties.*
•Last week United. States Attorney
Emory It. Buckner brought out testj
nony and exhibits to show that over
sloo*ooo had figured in Daug’.ierty’s
bank* accounts, the records which
he destroyed because “they showed
nothing.”
To Miller's banking and brokerage
accounts $50,000 had previously been
traced.
The $441.000—5301,000 of which
was in liberty loan bonds—was paid
to John T. King, former Republican
national committeeman from Connec
tieutt. to influence the release of the
iiniH)Uuded assets of the American
Metals Company winch Richard Mer
ton, German metal magnate, claimed
in the name of the Societe Suisse
Pour Valeurs de Metaux. The gov
ernment contends the claim was false.
Vera V. Veail, assistant cashier of
- Midland National Bank, testified,
she sent to Otis & Co., Cleveland
bankers, four SIO,OOO Liberty Bonds
hearing serial numbers that were on
four bonds Merton gave King. The *
bonds were sent November 17. 1023,
Miss Veail said, on orders of Mai S.
Daugherty.
In its outline of the case the gov- g
eminent said it depended for proof on
its conspiracy charges on its ability
to convince the jury that King was
“working in behalf of Daugherty’’ ’~
Fwk*« he -treated with Merton.
When the cheek for $30,335.50 ar
rived at the Midland National Bank,
Biss Vail testified, it was not placed
in Mai 8. Daugehty’s account, but took
a certificate of deposit which she said
was the same as a cashier's check.
Two weeks later, according to bank
ledger sheets, this sum was paid, but
the record did not show to wliom the
money was paid.
