C., May. 30 (By the soeinted Press).—-Keseue work at the ' Carolina Coal Company's mine here, the | scene of Wednesday’s disaster, was hslt-' e<l temporarily today when rising waters in the pit made it necessary to stop the I search for the bodies, and allow a pumj-! ing crew to bail out the lower end of the shaft. Officials said it would be sev eral hours before the relief work could be resumed. Three to five bodies remained to be discovered, it waq estimated, after fifty two had been recovered early today. The relief car from the federal bureau of mines was expected to leave the scene i some time late today, experts having de clared their work practically ended. Fifty-four Bodies Recovered. Coal Glen, X. C.. May 30 (By the As sociated Press).—Fifty-four bodies had been recovered from the Carolina Coal Company’s mitie today and officials esti mated there were probably four more ih the second lateral, and a fifth at the end of the main shaft. The fifth body is supposed to be that of .Joe Hudson, a white miner. The' others are negroes. Thus the total num ber of dead would be fifty-nine. Today’s efforts are being exerted under the disadvantages of excessive heat. Sol diers and miners worked to establish J a pumping system to free the mine of water. While mine experts possibly would . resume work this afternoon, they stated | that it might be several days before the | bodies remaining in the mine would be recovered. ' No definite arrangements have been made early this afternoon for local fun erals, The work of shipping bodies, however, to outside points continued. All Bodies Expected!- to Be Removed To day. Coal Glen. May 21). —WoriL,by, three days and two highs of almost constant duty, rescue oro*s the scene of the ~ CamTifih’ -Coal compatfyV mine disaster were carrying on their work tonight al most asleep on their feet. With 47 bodies recovered it was predicted that the mine will be completely penetrated by tomorrow and ' all bodies probably located, even if not removed, due to I physical difficulties. Despite the fact that mine officials ■ had provided for regular shifts so as to rest the men, some of them insisted on working, so anxious were they to do the last possible service for their comrades stricken down in line of duty. A discourngiug note was sounded to day when mine offieia's announced that there were several additional men re ported missing and that the total death list probably would be between 65 and 00. The miners had penetrated tonight into all the workings of the mine ex cept the second right lateral, and work was beginning on this. The main shaft had been penetrated for its entire length of 2,500 feet, except t*>e last 100 feet where debris and rising water impeded th,e work. It was not believed that the rising water would constitute a menace. Experts of the federal bureau of mines 1 predicted that every section of the mine will be exp’ored by tomorrow evening I and it was expected that* all bodies ex cept those hidden in recesses, would be recovered by that time. The first local funeral were held th's afternoon when four of the men were buried in the Farmville union cemetery. In addition, undertakers at Sanford sent nearly a score, of bodies to their families in various sections of this and other states. Throughout today the rescue crew poshed grimly on in their work w’th a hot sun making their labor more dif ficult. Despite the fact that hope had been abandoned for all the men in the mine and the majority of the bodies had been recovered, hundreds stood about to watch with intense expressions as the cable' hauled the mine cars with their' burdens to the surface Cvery two hours. The undertaking establishments of Sanford were filled with bodies tonight awaiting word from relatives in distant places or local burial, probably tomor rpw. Bulgaria Must Cut Down Army.

Cook, chairman of the board of trustees of the Jackson Training School, of the gift of twelve hundred and fifty dollars by Mrs. John A. Barnhardt and family for the purpose of supplying gates to the three entrances at the grounds of the school campus. These gates are to be constructed of granite and iron and wired so they may be lighted, all in keeping with the sub stantial appearance of the surroundings, and will prove of great utility in the or- 1 deriy conduct "of the institution and adil to the beauty of the grounds. Mr. Cook, in' making the announcement of the handsome gift, states that the designs for the gates have already been selected and • that the one that is to be erected at i the main entrance will bear a bronze I tablet, setting forth the fact that the! gift, by the expressed wish of the au- j thorities of the institution, is in memory of Mr. John A.

From 'the very conception 'Of the idea of the establish ment of such a school, long before it was able to take form, he gave to it his moral support and his hearty endorse- J ment; he was deeply interested in its ac-! tual beginning and aided materially in its start; and up to the time of his passing he rejoiced in the institu tion’s rapid development and its great success.” I Tlie Tribune understands that the con tract for the building of the large granite ,poets has been let, and that the iron gates and chains have been ordered. Work in actual construction is expected to start witbip the next ten days. In this connection The Tribune con gratulates the Jackson Training School in the possession of so many farm and helpful friends, not only locally but throughout the state. The school has worked its way into the henrts of the public, who see and admire its great ac complishments among unfortunate youth. And it is particulary gratifying that the good man, who lived an exemplary life in the county and set such high ideals for personal living and right conduct should be remembered in this manner, a' deed that his hundreds of friends in life will appreciate. bean° CONCORD, N, C., SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1925 INDIANAPOLIS RACES Shafer Furnished Biggest Thrill During the First Hundred Miles of the Race.

President Coolidge’s Address. Washington, May 30.—Appealing for more vigilant enforcement of law on the Everybody Waiting For Tribune Flyin rf Tuesday ednesday _____ part of state and local governments and for a “universal observance of the Con stitution" by the American public. Pres ident Coolidge in a Memorial Day ad dress today at Arlington cemetery de clared that "what we need is not more federal government, but better local gov ernment." "We are not a lawless people,” said the President, “but we are too frequent ly a careless one. The multiplicity of laws, the varied possibilities of appeals, the disposition to technicality in proced ure. the delays and consequent expense of litigation which inevitably inure to the advantage of wealth and specialized abil ity—all these have been recounted as re proaches to us. “It is strange that such laxities should persist in a time like the present,^which is marked by a tetermined upward move ment in behalf of social welfare. But they do exist. They demonstrate a need for better, prompter, less irksome and expensive administration of the laws; for uniformity of procedure; for more accurate delimitation of state and fed eral authority.” Mr. Coolidge made only passing refer ence to prohibition, and did not apply his observations directly to any particu lar situation. Declaring thnt "when the local government unit evades its respon sibility, it is started in the vicious way to disregard of law and laxity of liv ing." he continued: “The police force which is adminis tered on the assumption that the viola tion of some laws may be ignored has started toward demoralization. The com munity \k-liich approves such administra tion is making dangerous concessions. There is no use disguising the fact that as a nation our attitude toward the pre vention and punishment of crime needs more serious attention, x x x The con clusion is inescapable that laxity of ad ministration reacts upon public opinion, causing cynicism and loss of confidence in both law and its enforcement and therefore in its observance. The failure of local government has a demoralizing effect in every direction. “There are vital issues, in which the nation greatly needs a revival of inter est and concern. It is senseless to boast of our liberty when we find that to so shocking an extent it ft merely the liberty to go ill-governed. It is time to take warning that neither the liberties we prize nor the system under which we claim them are safe while such condi tions exist. ‘‘We shall not correct admitted and grave defects if we hesitate to recognize them. We must be frank with ourselves. We ought to be our own harshest critics. AVe can afford to be. for in spite of ev erything we still have a balance of pros perity. of general welfare, of secure free dom, and of righteous purpose, that gives us assurance of leadership among the na tions. “What America needs is to hold to its ancient and well-chartered course. "Our country was conceived in the theory of local self-government. It has been dedicated by long practice to that wise and beneticient policy. It is the foundation principle of our system "of liberty. It makes the largest promise to the freedom and development of the individual. Its preservation is worth all the effort aud all the sacrifice that it may cost. “It can not be denied that the present tendency is not in harmony with this spirit. The individual, instead of work ing out his own salvation and securing his own freedom by establishing his own economic and moral independence by his own industry and his own self-madlery, tends to throw himself on some vague influence which he denominates society and to hold that in some way responsible for the sufficiency of his support and the morality of his actions. “The local political units likewise look to the states, the states look to the na tion, and nations are beginning to look to some vague organization, some nebu lous concourse of humanity, to pay their bills and tell them what to do. This is not local self-government. It is not American. It is not the method which has made this country what it is. We can not maintain the western standard of civilization on that theory. If it is supported at all, it will have to be supported on the principle of individual responsibility. If that principle be main tained, the result which I believe Amer ica wishes to see proueed inevitably will follow, x x “If we are too weak to take charge of our own morality, we shall not be strong enough to take charge of our own libetry. If we can not govern ourselves, if we can not observe the law, nothing remains but to have some one else govern us, to have the law enforced against us, and to step down from the honorable abiding place of freedom to the ignomi nious abode of servitude, x x “The whole world has reached a stage in which, if we do not set ourselves right, we may be perfecty sure that an authority will be asserted by others for the purpose of setting us right. “But before we attempt to set our selves up as exponents of universal re form, it would be wise to remember that' progress is of slow growjlj, and also to remember that moderation, patience, for bearance and character are virtues in their own right. The only action which can be effective in the long run is that which helps others to help themselves. Before we assume too great repsonsibil ties in the governing of others, it would be the part of wisdom very completely to discharge our responsibilities for govern ing ourselves. “A large amount of work has to be done at home before we can start in on the neighbors, and very considerable du ties have to be performed in America before we undertake the direction of the rest of the world. But we must at all times do the best we can for ourselves (Concluded on Page Six.) • TODAY’S • NEWS • TODAY NO. 128 Famous Gates Flying Circus to Come to Concord [Under the Auspices of the Con cord Daily Tribune. AIRPLANE STUNTERS TO FLIRT WITH DEATH Landing Field Below Con cord—Ten Free Tickets to Be Given Away by The Tribune, Five Each Day. This business of facing death daily, of earning your "bread and butter” in what ’ probably is the most hazardous of all professions, has wrought in the miqd of I the great Dinvalo Krantz a and 1 remarkable philosophy. ; Iliavalo himself will be in Concord next ■ Tuesday and AA’ednesday, as one of the ■ feature performers of The Flyiug Circus which The Tribune will stage, free of all ■ admission charge, at the flying ’field a nine and a half out South I’nion street. The exhibitions will be staged in the as -1 ternoons. At noon both Tuesday and Wednesday the airplanes will fly over the business ■ district of Concord and at 12:30 will drop down a shower of rolled copies-- of The Tribune in front of The Tribune of- : fiee. Inside these copies each day will be fj 1 five tickets—each worth an airplane ride. AA’atch for the newspapers and try and catch one of the lucky ones. Diavalo, \yhile in Concord, will per- . form such perilous feats as standing on 3 his head on the top wing of a speeding . airplane, "riding horseback” on the fuse . lage. , swinging by his knees or toes *or one hand from the landing gear, stand ing on the top wing while an airplane loops the loop, swinging l below an airplane with only a 30 foot rope fastened to hia leg. He doesn’t fear death, so he says, al though he is intensely interested in every phase and pleasure of life. His early life was spent mainly in study in Eu rope. Outwardly, he is only a quiet, self-effacing youth who scarcely ever smiles or laughs. He confesses to no health wrecking dissipations, and hig spare time is spent in physical training and rending. “I know I face death constantly,” he , says, speaking slowly and apparently carefully choosing his words. “I realize, the danger of my work. But I’ve liad enough of monotony and dull existence. I find my pleasure and joy in excitement. “I’p where I work there is the con stant roar of powerful motors in my cars. Above it is the whining wall of the wind rushing through the bracing wires. Beneath mv fee* as I stand on the top wing I can feel the lift and tilt of t he delicate ‘ship’ answering each caprice of the air. My body is braced against the wind; my nerves are a-tingle; the blood rushes through l my veins. “Below me is the crowd—men and women like ink spots against the .green and gold of the dull earth. But up where I am, life is fast, and is pleas-, ant. SI wouldn't trade it for all the in- 1 surance in the world against death. 1 know that there will be a ’some day’ for me. as people always predict.* I know on that ‘some day I’ll slip and miss and down I’l go—to death. But I’ll be ready. I have had my fill of life.” Dinvalo, by work and exercise, hag toughened his muscles until they are as bands of steel. His shouldecs have broadened above ills slender body, stretch ing like the spars of an old-fashioned sailing vessel. The hands that once were a student's, soft and white, now are roughened and powerful. He comes to grips daily with these hands, and they with his certain judgment, are his only safe-guards against death. The Tribune invites every person in Concord and in the surrounding territory to see Diavalo and the other aerial stars during the exhibitions in Concord. Tho only charges made will be for those per sons who desire to fly before before and after the exhibitions. With Our Advertisers.
