GREAT FEAT
The Men Were Tapped 800
Feet, in Mine Last Fri
day.—4oo Had Part in
the Rescue.
Iron wood, Mich, s Sept. 30.— UP) —
Safe after 121 hour* of nerve-racking
imprisonment in the damp depths of
the I’nbst iron mine, 43 bewhiskered
men saw daylight from hospital beds
for the first time today in nearly a
week.
Rest for them and the 400 men who
labored untiringly for their rescue
was'the order of the day.
Entombed 800 feet underground last
Friday by a shaft cnve-ia which kill
ed three mine electricians, the last of
the 43 miners was brought to the sur
face nt midnight, adding one of the
greatest rescue records in mining an
nals. >
Today the men were recuperating
from their harrowing experience. They
were given light food replacing their
diet of b ! reh bark tea. brewed over
improvised stoves made from lunch
pn Is. Birch bark'was stripped from
mine reinforcements rj|i
i water was plentiful. •
Most of the men. attending physic
ians said, will be able to go to their
homes by tonight.
Rescue was effected through hun
dreds of feet of underground shaft*
and laterals, some hurriedly con
structed and others weakened and
made unsafe by cave-ins.
First to reach the imprisoned men
wan George Hawes of Chicago, safety
expert .of the Pullman Company and a
former employee of the mine. He was
greeted by Tom Trewartha, a shift
boss, who with two others were on
guard duty while the'r companions
slept. Hawes was followed by Capt.
Erickson, iu charge of the l’abst mine
• for the Oliver Iron Mining Co.. Capt.
Harry Byrne of the Tilden Mine at
Messemer. Mich., and Oscar Olsen,
eliief engineer of the CH'vec Company.
„ whfl 11 aide.-their way rfrrttugh tW da -,
gerous rescue passage.
“How are yon?" Hawes asked Tre
wartha.
“We are all O. K. Forty-three men
all righ*." Trewartha replied.
Hawes shouted the news to bis i
companions who were nt various places
in the shaft. They in turn relayed it i
and soon those on the surface knew |
that ail were “alive and well.”
It was not long until the imprison
ed men were awake and rejoicing. All
took turns puffiing n long cignr Hawes
had in his pocket.
Soup, coffee, tobacco and other ar
ticles to make the men as comfortable
as possible were immediately dispatch
ed. Meanwhile rescuers started mak
tbe rescue passage safer with heavy
timbering.
Shortly nfter 0 o'clock last n'ght
Samuel 1.. Synkelman, 38, father of
eight children, emerged. He was the
first of the' men to come to the sur
face. Ten thousand persons were
jammed about the shaft. Synkelman.
covered with red iron ore, was taken
to the mine rescue ear for
tion. Later, after a few words with''
several of his family, he went to tlge
hospital.
All of the men were given prelimi
nary examination by a physician who
visited them in their subterranean
abode. They declared they were all
fight, but officials thought it best all
go to the hospital. Families of each
were permitted to spend a little rime
with
None of the entombed men gave
hope. They took care to keep their'
watches running, and knew they bad
been entombed five days. Each 24
hours a mark was placed on a piece |
of timbering indicating that another
day had passed.
Larry Uren, the “snlvat on army
miner,” often led hia fellow prisoners
in gospel meetings singing and pray
ing.
Thnt efforts were be'ng made to
rescue them was known to the men.
They heard blasting operations from
•time to time, they said.
Preparations for the reunions that
are to come were being mnde in 43
homes today. All Ironwood is happy,
and even those unrelated to the men
who “came back” are joining in the
festivities.
Honors are being paid rescue
workers who came from throughout
the Gogebic range, virtually disrupt
ing mine activities.
Os the three efforts undertaken to
provide away to bring the imprison
ed men to the surface the most hazard
ous was successful. This was upward
from the bottom of the shaft, Mocked
in several places by the cave-in. Ac
cess to the bottom of the shaft was
gained through a lateral tunnel con
necting with the'shaft of another mine.
Working upward the rescuers found
the tunnel blocked at the 23rd level.
They dug around this blocked section
and on the 21 level found the shaft
open. From there they worked their
way upward through debris to the
eighth level, the subterranean abode of
the men.
From the Bth tevel the miners
were forced to descciM by ladders to
ths 26th level, and then through a
lateral to the other mine, and then up

Has Completed List of
the Witnesses.
New York. Sept. 30. — UP) —The "de
fense of Thomas TV. Miller, 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 tire
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the United States of their ‘‘honest
and unbiased’’ services in connect'on
with the payment of claims of $7,000,-
0(H),
Tlie first witness called was George
E. Williams, of Passaic, N. J., man
aging director of the alien property
eutodian's office. Previous witnesses
testified Williams tutored Richard
Merton, German metal magnate, in
li ing for the Societe Suisse Pour
Valours de Metnux cllaims for the
impounded shares of the American
Metal Co.
William S. Rand, counsel for Mil
ler. began the defense without an op-
I ening address. Daugherty's defense
will be conducted separately. Just
before Williams took t'.ie stand Judge
Mack ruled thnt Williams had not
been shown to have had in 1021 guil
ty knowledge of the alleged corrupt
agreement of Daugherty and Miller
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
Daugherty and Miller in chamber dis
cussions yesterday that testimony re
| gardin conversations Merton had with
I Wi liams were not admissible, unless
iit were shown that he were a co
j conspirator.
i Although Rand launched Milled*
! defense without openiiig address, his
! questioning cf Williams revealed that
I an attempt will be made to show that
I the $7,000,000 claims were valid, and
j that they were paid in good faith.
The government in arguments dur
ing presentation of its case contended
I’.iat the conspiracy charge could be
shown regardless of whether Merton’s
claims were .valid. ,

I Os tlie total placements 565 were
in the unskilled labor classes. The
great demand for this type of labor |

PRISONER PARDONS HIMSELF
Rubin Johnson’s Aplieation for Par
d<n Was to Have Been Considered
Y'esterday.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Sept. 30.—Here is one
case where the good offices of neither
Governor A. W. McLean nor Pardons
Commissioner H. Hoyle Sink Were
needed for, in the words of the pris
oner's lawyers, the prisoner “pardoned
himself yesterday afternoon and left
no address." So Sink found himself
with one less application for parole
to hear.
It came about this way: A Few
days ago tlie commissioner of pardons
received a letter from T. F. Limerick,
of Monroe, stating that he willed to
make application for a parole for his
client, one Rubin Johnson, who had
been sentenced to ten years on tlie
Union county roads some four years
ago for second degree murder. He
stated that Johnson had made a- good
prisoner, ami recited the usual form
ula incident to the obtaining of a
hearing. He was notified by Mr.
Sink that he would be given a hear
ing yesterday. But alas and alack,
'.lis services were no longer needed,
us aforinentioned Rubin had taken to
Ms heels while employed With the
chain gang, and depnrted without
leaving an address !
So instead of appearing in behalf
of his client. Mr. Limerick wired Mr.
Sink t'iint "Rubin Johnson has par
doned himself.”
! Whether this forecasts the eventual
abolition of the office of commission
er of pardon* remains to be seen.
However, it does inspire the follow
ing limerick apropos to the occasion :
There was a bold convict named
Rubin
Who said “I think I better be movi’n”
So lie took to his heels.

Leaving Limerick and Sink disallu
