"Washington. Sept. 24.—Senator
Overman, North Carolina, ranking
Democrat of the Senate judiciary
icommittee, declared today that al
though Frank L. Smith, of Illinois,
and William 8. Vare, of Pennsyl

would not be permitted to serve in
the Senate if they are elected, they
would have to he seated and then
ousted. ,
“Under all precedent#, the Senate
will have to seat them if sovereign
states send them herd as their quali

aeatod, the move would then be to
declare their seats vacant and give
them a hearing of charges of excess

NORTH CAROIJNA’S
GOOD GOVERNMENT
The Republican Forty I* Haaahffsiy
f W recked on This Account. \
Tribune cßrueSu j
Sir Walter Hotel |
Raleigh, Kept. 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 j
party,” said John G. Dawson, chair
man of the State Democratic commit
tee, in an exclusive interview today
with The Tribune correspondent, in
the first formal statement that has yet
been given out from Democratic head
quarters here. "It is not uy,.
to mention all the attainments of tltu .
party in the State since it has been
in control—spare would not perin't of
it. But the ouxtanding accomplish
ments of the party are known to ev
ery ore
"First, of course, come the splendid
highway system, than which there is
none better in the United States, the
direct 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- J
self than the building of its tiighways.
And ranking along in almost equal
importance is the excellent schools
which have come about through the
wise development of the State’s pub
lic instruction program by Democrat
ic administrations. In fact, ever since
Governor Ayeook snatched the State
and ita schools from under the rnenne- j
ing shadow of Republican spoliation j
and domination, education has been,
on the upgrade in the State, even;
though the w*y has been long.
"And perhaps the next outstand-.
ing achievement of Democratic gov-1
eriiment in the State has been the
forward steps taken in the matter of
public health work —the task of mak
ing NortM Carolina a safe state in
1 which to live from a health stand
point. It is only necessary to con-1
suit 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,” raid Mr. Daw-
son. j
In faet, so convinced have the peo- |
pie of the State become of the benefits i
of continued Democratic control in j
State affairs, that' there has been a |
growing tendency for the past eight |
or ten years for the continuance of j
unbroken Democratic administration,
in the State, even in those sections of I
the State which in national matters {
are generally Republican. The peo-j
pie of these sections have awakened
to the futility of gaining a voice on |
State government—or in Congress— |
as a party, and have as a result, in j
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 the
State from 1918 to 1924 to note the
, growing tide of Democratic votes, and
the constant decrease in the number
of Republican votes cast. Take, for
instance, the off-year election of
and the contest for the Senate la
tween Senator F. M. Simmons and
, John M. Morehead, and the next most
important race, for chief Justlve o:
the Supreme Court, between Walter
i
equipment of the barbershop used.
| The reason for the change which
I has taken place, in the opinion of ,
barbers long in the business, is the (
improvement in sanitary , methods. ,
Running water, hot and eold, is al- j
ways available. The shaving equip- j
meilt is kept sterilized. Danger of in
fection in barber shops lias been re
duced to a minimum by the advent of '
20. h century sanitary methods.
In some sections of the country ;
regular inspection of bartering equip
ment which touches the face are re- '
quirod to be sterilized after eaeh cus
tomer departs and the penalties are j
! severe for violation of these rules. !
The visits of the inspectors are never
fixed and one may drop in almost i
any time. In this section, to a eer- :
tain extent, there is inspection but i
for the most part the barbers them- :
selves by the adoption of improved
methods have rendered the daily shave
safe.

Cameron Morrison polled 77,976 more
Democratic votes than the total num
ber of votes for pae Republican can

off-year election, there were but two
slate-wide contests, those between AV.
T. Lee and Charles M. Hoover for
corporation commissioner and William
J. Adams and E. W. Timberlake for

en drove gaunt-eyed men to super ef
forts today in their efforts to reach
43 men entombed by a cave in three
days ago in the shaft of the Pabst
Mine of the Oliver Iron Mining Co
here.
Tile bodies of three men crushed to
death when tons of boulders and
earih crumb'd! the cage in tbe
shaft, have been recovered.
Three separate shltrs. each having
, as an obiective the eighth level of 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
its objective by tomorrow night, al
though obstacles encountered pre
vents any accurate predetermination
to be made. Most closely watched is
the diamond drill 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 the 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 descent
from another shaft. -
• Another attempt is from a lateral
r trtimeP front another mhre a 'nttnrter
. of a mile away-
Sufficient air and seepage water is
I thought to be in the level to keep the
i men alive until they ean be reach

“INTRODUCTION WEEK”
CLOSES AT DIKE
Daily Routine Begins With Largest
, Enrollment in History of the Insti
tution.
! (Special to The Tribune)
Durham, Sept. 27.—Nearly 700
I Duke University freshmen were suc
cessfully introduced lo campus life
and started on their way toward a
successful college year with the close
of “Introduction Week” at Duke
Saturday. In contrast to their former
times, when the new men were greet
ed with bandinage and yellß of “Pipe
down fresh!”—not to mention occas
ional visits to freshmen rooms at
night by bands of sophomores armed
with pine paddles—the freshmen at
Duke were offered every possible cour
tesy by upper lcassmen. who aided
them in adjusting themselves to their
new surroundings.
Campus customs and traditions, and
the ideals and aims of Duke Univer
sity. were presented to the new men
during “Introduction Week” by
ifieans of mass meetings held eacli
night ill Craven Memorial Hall, un
der the aupices of the Men’s Student
government Association. Adresses by
President Few. Dean Wannnmaker.
Prof. R. L. Flowers, and prominent
students and the Duke Coaches, were .
made each evening: the Duke cheer
lenders taught campus songs and veils
at the close of each meeting. Pro
grams were in charge of D. E. Kirk
patrick, president of the student gov
evnremnt association.
NEW YORK GIVES
TUNNEY WELCOME
New Champion Reveals Fact He Got
a Hard Blow on Ills Adam’s Ap
ple.
New York, Sept. 25.—When Gene
Timney told cheering thousands at
City Hall yesterday that his voice
was husky “from a blow or several
blows on the throat in Philadelphia
tiie other night,” few If any any,
realized that he was referring to a
near-tragedy in his pugilistic life.
, The blow mentioned so casually
was not taken lightly for a minutte
in Tunney’s corner Thursday night.
A terrific hook 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 skillfnl 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 liard blow on. the aesophagus is
not pleasant,” said Tunney in dis
cussing what mifiht have been a
narrow escape. “I was in real pain
for a moment, but happily for me, I
was afele to soap out of it.” r
Man; instances are known of geese
attaining the age of forty yean.
