l>ort« received here. Several cave-ins
were reported, and it is thought that
the only thing that may have saved
the trapped miners is the possibility
that one of the cave-ins blocked tho
water from the passage in which the
men were nt work.
The Henryetta tire department has
started huge pumps at work in an at
tempt to clear the shaft.
Water in the shaft had risen to
45 feet nt 11 :80 o'clock. The Hen

beneath.
The men were working a quarter

’ FOUR-YEAR-OLD TOT

She Took Matches From Him.
Harrisburg. Pa.. April 13.—“ Sure I
shot her. I’d sboot her again if she
was here now. I’ll shoot you, too, If

This afternoon, while the mother
was hanging clothes in the yard in the
rear of the house, she noticed Tommy
playing with a box of matches. She
took them from him. Balked in his

SANITARY ENGINEERS
WILL VISIT THE STATE
Water Puriflration Plants Will Be
Inspected by the Experts.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, April 14.—A number of
nationally known' sanitary engineers
plan to spend severul days in North
Carolina, inspecting a number of the
state's water purification plants, fol
lowing the meeting of the American
Society of Civil Engineers which will
will be held in Asheville April 20th
to 22n<l, it was announced today ton
J*
of the State board of health. Various
phases of sanitary engineering and its
problems are also to be given a promi
nent place on the program of the con
vention.
Within the last six years every
water purification plant in the state
has been remodelled and the very lat
est system of water purifention in
stalled so that at present North Caro
lina is regarded by sanitary engineers
all over the United States as having
among one of the best protected water
supplies in the entire country. The
fact is even more notable because of
the many different problems encoun
tered.
For instance, in the eastern section
of the state, oue of the most stubborn
problems encountered is the discolora
tion of the water in the rivers and
reservoirs from submarine growths and
from roots and plants. But this
problem has been mastered and the
water not only purified, but the color
removed from it ns well. Some of
these plants will be visited by Robert
Spur Weston, who will attend the
convention and who is a national au
thority on water purirtcation and the
treatment of industrial waste before
being turned into streams.
Thus while they are already in the
state, quite a group of sanitary and
witter supply engineers expect to avail
themselves of the opportunity to study
what the state has done first hand.

local situation.
Without going into details, it may
be said thnt ltnleigh. although over
, /tin by Federals. was peacefully sur
rendered and no battle or boiiybnrd
ment was connected with the incident.
One event transpired that struck
nwe to the hearts of the population.
A confederate lieutenant, named
Walsh, from Texas who hud remained
in Raleigh tired a pistol on Ka.vette
' viUe street, shouting “Hurrah for the
Confederacy." Under the charge that
he fired at some Federals, he was
given a hasty "trial" before -Kilnat
. rick, a federal officer, and Imaged.
The so-called “trial" took place in the
'.Capital Square, and the execution in
| the nortltepstrn section of the city,
j near "the present Governor's mansion
site.
Sherman threatened later to suspend
the pii |»>r of whieh ■Col. Richardson,
one of the men who had helped to
surrender the city was part owner.
He sent for Richardson and informed
him he was "not operating a paiier
in the North but in eonquerded ter
ritory," but finally agreed to let him
continue publication condition
he would 'be cautious.in his comments
nn the Federal occupation.
Then on the night the news of
President Lincoln's assassination wns
received, great fear again tilled the
hearts of the Raleigh people, especial
ly in’ view of the report that the
Smith was responsible for the murder
of the chief executive. A fire broke

H STANDARD MILK LAW
USED IN 4tt CITIES
R Law is Similar to One Adopted Re-
V gently by Concord Officials.
| The Tribune Bureau
' Sir Walter Hotel
I Raleigh, April 13.—There arc now
! 46 cities in the state which have adopt
j ed the standard milk ordinance, ay-
SiiibVed by tho-Stgto ;
with the announcement that +h'e city
! of Reidsville is the latest recruit to
make the ordinance mandatory, it was
learned from the sanitary engineering
division of the board of health. With
tlje addition of this city, more than
80 per cent, of the milk produced in
the stnte now complies with the stand
ard milk ordinance, according to H.
E. Miller, director of the sanitary di
vision. All of these 46 cities have
adopted the ordinance since 1924.
Under this ordinance, all the milk
sold in the cities which have adopted
it is graded according to its bacteria
Contents, which indicates its degree
of purity and per cent of butter fat.
The ordinance further provides that
the bottle caps must carry the letter
"A", "B", "C", to indicate the grade
of milk contained in the bottles.
In the opinion of the sanitary di
vision of the board of health no one
thing has done more to reduce dis
eases, especially typhoid and intestin
al diseases transmitted in milk that
it improperly safeguarded, than the
adoption of this ordinance.
Attention was called to the recent
epidemic in Canada, traceable to in
fected miik, as what might happen if
the milk supplies of the stnte are not
properly safeguarded by strict milk
ordinances such as the standard or
dinance. This ordinance is a uni
form ordinance, approved by the board
of health, which when ndopted, stan
dardizes the milk sanitation regula
tions in all sections of the state.
Such nn ordinance is of especial
value at present, with spring and
■ “fly time” coming on, according to
Miller, since it safeguards a large part
of the family food supply, especially
the food of the babies and children.

Bert Acosta and Clarence
D. Chamberlain Reach
Goal and They Shatter a
Number of Old Marks.
FIFTY HOURS OR
BUST, IS SLOGAN
They Passed This Mark
This Morning and Were
Going Strong So Far as
Observers Could Seee.
Mineola, N. Y„ April 14.—OP)—
With an air slogan of "fifty hours or
bust". Bert Acosta and Clarence D.
Chamberlain had not shown a sign
of the "bust” at 10 o’clock today.
They bad smashed the world endur
ance record early in the morning after
pushing two other reeords on their
way, and with more than 48 hours of
steady flying behind theme were with
in one and one half hours of their
objective.
No word of their weariness came
to watchers on the ground, but those
below could guess that the intrepid
airmen were very tired. They had
been subsisting on short rations, occa
sional bulletins telling of meals of
"soup and water" being relished.
There was an idea among the gal
lery thnt the excitement on the ground
was more pronounced than in the air.
Veteran aviators who linve remained
aloft many hours, although not as
many as 48 said that Acosta and
Chamberlain probably were only car
rying on by sheer nerve, and were
driving forward just to “get the job
done.”
That they might not be lonesome,
an airplane went up shortly before
10 o'clock to look them over. The
report was thnt they seemed O. K.
At 10:30 the airmen entered their
fiftieth hour as tile crowd oil the
ground wondered how much gas they
had left. Watchers decided to attempt
to find out approximately how much
longer the fliers' would stay up. and
sent up a plane to ask a question.
"How much gas 7" was painted on
a big_ cardboard, and attached to a
ffilftwt'-lrtiish "weersrf up to attempt to
establish communication with the rec
ord breakers.
Pass Fiftieth Hoot in Air.
Mineola. April 14. — U P)—Bert Acos
ta and Clarence D. Chamberlain pass
ed their fiftieth hour in the air at
11:30 a. m. today, but did not come
down. The end was in sight, how
ever, for their gas supply was known
to be reduced to a few gallons, not j
enough to hold them up another
Four.
Several minutos "before 11:30 it was
apparent 'that the 50-hour mark
would be passed for the flyers were
then more than 2.000 feet above the.
ground. "
Their custom for the last several
hours had been to climb on the wind j
which was from the northwest, and j
coast back, thus saving a considerable!
quantity of gasoline.
At 12 o’clock when the flyers had
been in the air 50 1-2 hours they had
dropped to an altitude of about 1,000
feet and were circling lazily over the'
field, apparently preparing to land
within a few minutes.
End Flight.
Mineola. April 14. — UP) —Bert Acos
ta and Clarence D. Chamberlain, ci
vilian aviators, landed nt 12:42 o'clock
after setting a new record for endur
ance flying by remaining in the air
