Milter, former alien property custodian, charged with conspiracy, was begun in federal court today. Miller is being tried jointly with Harry M. Daugherty, attorney gener al in the Harding cabinet. They are charged wir.i conspiracy to defraud the United States of their “hoimst and unbiased)’ services in eonnecUon with the payment of claims of $7,000,- 000. The first witness called was George ; E. Williams,; of Passaic, N. J., man aging director of the alien property cutcdian’s office. Previous witnesses testified Williams tutored Richard Merton. German metal magnate, in fi ing for the Societe Suissp Pour Valeurs de Metnux cllaims for the impounded shares of the American Metal Do. William S.

Just; j before Williams took t’.ie stand Judge j Mack ruled that Williams had not j been shown to have had in 1021 guil ty knowledge of the alleged corrupt agreement of Daugherty and Miller j to defraud the United States. For this reason, he said, Williams was not considered a co-conspirator ~ as the government had alleged but testimony regarding him would remain in the record on another ground It had been objected by counsel for, Daug’lierty and Miller in chamber dis missions yesterday that testimony re- i igardin conversations Merton had with | [ Williams were not admissible, unless ! jit werq shown that lie were a eo- j conspirator. !

FORTY-THREE MEN ARE FOUND ALIVE IN MINE Survive Five Days’ Imprisonment Half Mile Under the Earth’s Sur face. Ironwood, Mich., Sept. 29. —Forty- three imprisoned and starved miners were found “alive and well” today half a mile from the earth's surface in the G. Pabst iron mine, where they had been imprisoned five days. A plea for light greeted rescue work ers who crossed a shaky 39-foot “cat walk” and penetrated the prison of the men. The miners reported they had subsisted on birch bark ten, khich they made in their lunch buckets over the fire of their miners’ lamps. Sirens and horns of the town sounded the hopeful note which thou sands waited for since noon last Fri day, when a cage dropped in a shaft, I loosening tons of rocks and earth, ki’ ing three men outright and trap ping the 43 miners on the eighth Wei of the mine almost a half mile from the surface. Shortly before noon miners and j rescue workers from Chicago worked J their way up the eighth leVel from ! another level almost a mile from the ] earth surface, and found ladders ex tending to the eighth level in fair condition. They threw rails and pow er lines across a 30-foot chasm and with the daring of tight rope walkers skipped across to he side of im prisoned men to be greeted by Tom Trewartha, a sturdy mine boss, who reported all hands well. Rescue workers tapped a signal on an iron pipe short’y before they reached the men, receiving a signal in reply. George Hawes, assistant director of safety of the Pullman company of Chicago, who formerly worked j here and who volunteered for rescue | work was the first across the "cat walk” and was greeted by Tra wartha, who grasped his hand. X “How are you?” Hawes asked “We are all o. k. Forty-three men all right. We lived on tea made from birch bark.” Create Steel Consortium. Brussells, Be'gium, Sept. 30. — V?) —The French.

W. McLean nor Pardons i Commissioner H. Hoyle Sink were ] needed for. in the words of the pris j oner's lawyers, the prisoner "pardoned I himself yesterday afternoon and left jno address.” So Sink found himse.f I with one less application for parole to hear. - I It came about this way: A few j days ago the commissioner of pardons » received a letter from T. F. Limerick, tof Monroe, stating that he wished to make application for a parole for his client, one Rubin Johnson, who had been sentenced to ten years on the j Union county roads some four years ! ago for second degree murder. He [ stated that Johnson had made a good I prisoner, and recited the usual form * uln incident to the obtaining of A I hearing. He was notified by Mfi j Sink that he would be given a hear ; ing yesterday. But alas and alack. his services were no longer needed, las aformentioned Rubin had taken to [ Ais heels while employed with the chain gang, and departed without I leaving ah address! ■ So instead of appearing in behalf of his client, Mr. Limerick wired Mr. Sink that “Rubin Johnson lias par doned himself.” * I Whether this forecasts the eventual I abolition of the office of commission er of pardons remains to be seen. However, It does inspire the follow ing limerick apropos to the occasion : There was a bold convict named J , Rubin 1 Who said "I think I better So he took to his heels.

New York, Sept- 30. — (A*) —Babe Ruth will break his first world series i record by going out to the park and | taking his place in the opening game, i If the big fellow retains a grip on his health and is ab’e to play, he will enter his seventh world’s series. No other player has played more than six. Tied with Ruth up to this year at six participations in the baseball classic were J. Franklin Baker, Everett Scott, Eddie Collin* and Wally Schang. Baker is farming and not interested in playing world’s series baseball. Scott. Collins and Schang can not better’ their records at the moment for the White Sox and Browns are not winning pennants this year. The leading exponent of baseball biff played three world’s series un der the colors of the Boston Ked Sox and wielded his mace in as many (series sor # the Yankees. Other records may be expected to fall if the Babe is in the game. He will have to, score more thgn eight runs to better one mark—for he is tied with Tommy Leach for the most, runs scored in one series at eight. Ruth is tied with Goose Goslin and Joe Harris of Washington for the most home runs in one series, three, and with Hooper of the Red Sox and Kauff of the Giants for two home runs in one game. Ruth smashed out his circuit blows in successive innings, October 11. 1023. The Babe is tied with u number of fellow ahletes, j>ast and present, for the number of extra base hits in a j series, with five, but holds undisput ed first place for the most extra bases on long hits, 18, compiled in 1918, 1921, 1922 *nd 1923 by four home runs, two triples and two doubles. He also has, established a tie with Hooper and Kauff for the most extra bases on long hits in one ; game, six. He was in a receptive mood for a ! record in 1923 when he was given ] eight bases on balls during the series. The versatile Ruth also has his name engraved in the department de voted to pitching records. He pueneo 29 scoreless innings for the Red Sox in 1916 and 1918, going 13 innings the first year and 16 the second. i Ruth has a total of four world’s , series home runs against six for Goslin of the Washington Senators I 1 who hit three in 1924 and three more in 1925.
