WASHINGTON. fcpt. 5,With. the

'The administration bill to prevent

Federal Government by undertaking to
regulate intrastate movement of coal
The Constitutionality of the 8enate bill
was also under discussion when the Ben

ocratic Senators raising the question.
Discussiion of the industrial situation

ARE WITHIN 75 FEET -OF

Workers Have Reached 3,600
Foot Level and Only Vein
Of Quartz Separates Res
cuers From Imprisoned Men.
JACKSON, Calif., Sept. 3. Excava
tors struggling to release the 46 men en
tombed in the Argonaut gold mine today
were penetrating what is know as 'the
"old shaft" of the adjoining Kennedy
gold mine. Working on the 3,600 foot
level, this "old shaft", 3,500 feet long
leads to the' 75 feet of quarts which
separates them from the men who were
imprisoned by the Argonaut fire August
27.
Listing of the material carried into
the Argonaut by the 46 miners, revealed
today tliat it would be entirely possible
for them to have caused the fire explo
sions which workers in the Kennedy
mine reported hearing, when the roar of
their own blasts had died away. It was
the conviction of many of the rescue
workers that at least some of the en
entombed men were alive and would be
saved. , :
Miners on the job believe that the
muck in the 'fold shaft" can be cleared
out today and that the remaining 7)
feetof quartz can be eut through by
Wednesday, a day earlier than it was
expected the buried 46 could be reached.

SMITHFIELD, Sept. 4. Coming
from all four corners of the county to
day in a great assemblage at the rear
of the courthouse, the people of John
ston county have probably started some
thing which will be followed by many
other counties in North Carolina. It is
the first time since the county was cut
from Craven way back in the days of
Gabriel. Johnston that such a meeting
has been held to give thauks to the
Almighty Father for the many blessings
He hat sent upon the tillers of the soil.
Over 2,000 farmers and their wives
were present at .the. meeting.

and Rev. J. A. Russell of Four Oaks,
made a very beautiful prayer. Judge
F. H. Brooks, of this city, introduced
the speakers, and then later in the day
made a very short but beautiful talk
upon the services.
J. W. Bailey followed Mr. Gardner,
and spoke briefly upon tho duty people
owe to their Maker. Ho was to make
the principal address, but business en
gagement! later caused him to have to
decline, and he thought it would be im
possible to get here.
"Thit is tho first time in the history
of niy.life has a people gathered to
gether on their own accord to offer
thanks' to their Maker for His bless
ings. Wake county congratulates you
upon your splendid crops. You John
ston county people will not let it be
said that any other county is greater
than Johnston. Today is lost, if wo
do not put our heart into our work.
As you look upon your fields and your
harvest vou will sneak to God. If you
were never thankful to God, be thankful
now," to said Mr. Bailey.

Lieutenant James A. Doolittle landed at
San Antonio at 7:10 this morning on
his ono stop filght from coast to coast
and hopeped off again for Sun Dieg').
Calif., at" 8:23 after replenishing his
gasoline and oil supply.
Lieutenant Leland S. Andrews, with
whom Lieutenant Doolittle flew from
California here tome time ago, took off
with him in a separate plane aud will
follow Doolittle as far as F.1 Paso. This
is being done in order that Lieutenant
Doolittle can continue hit flight to San
Diego in case something happens to his
plane. . t
Hundreds of spectatori and a band
greeetd tho aviator at he landed.
Lieutenant Doolittle was in high
spirits when lie landed Tuesday morning.
He told a Kelly Field officer that only
one time during bis all-night ride did
he feel the least bit drowsy and that
was when ho was only about two hours
out of Jacksonville.
The flier expressed supremo confidence
In making Ban Diego without mishap.
The' sky from the Atlantio was cloudy
all night and be was forced to fly by
the com pass course. He stated, how
ever, that after reaching the Pocos River
he believed he would fly into cloar at
mosphere and remain in it all the way
to the end,
On the flight from the Atlantic Coast,
the motor in tho big De Haviland regis
tered 1,4480 revolutions per minute, and
the motor bnrned 19 gallons of gaso
lino an hour. There were 64 gallons
of gas left in his tank.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla., Sept. 4.
Lieut. J. H. Doolittle,. army airman,
took his De Haviland piano into the
air at Pablo Beach, near here, at 10:03
p. m. tonight and sailed away fjr his
transcontinental flight. Before nightfall
tomorrow, he expects to touch the ohter
side of the continent at San Diego, Cal.
A record breaking holiday crowd
cheered the intrepid flier as he hopped
off. Troops paced off an area of the
hard surfaced beach, while within the
circle army officers, friends of the avia
tor and newcpajier men shouted- well
wishes. Sending him ofT, too, were Lieu
tenants Upstone and Pamold from the
air station at Montgomery, Ala., who
came here to give the pathfinding flier
their moral aid.
. Lieutenant , Doblittlo went well Into
the air, clearing easily tho incoming
breakers of the surf, turned westward
and pushed the nose of the machine for
Tallahassee, the state capital. The drone
of his giant motors was soon lost to
the crowd as he disappeared into the
night. He cxected to pass over tho
slumbering capital cityv two hours later,
thence to pick up the lights of Mobile
while skirting the gulf, probably 60
miles short of the city,
v As he continues, the plane ' will head
up Canal street in New Orleans, which
place he expects to reach within five
hours. From tho Crescent city, ho will
fly direct through Sabine, Texas, to San
Antonio, where shortly after daybreak,
he plans to make tho only stop of his
transcontinental journey. The schedule
calls for a 30 minutes' .stay at San An
tonio, where the machine will be doc
tored and the fuel tanks replenished, and
where the aviator will be greeted by
his wife and two babies.
From San Antonio the flier will hop
off for the flight across the desert
expanse of Arizona, New Mexico and
the extremity of California.
Was Without Mishap.
Lieutenant Doolittle 's take-off here
tonight was without mishap such as
marked his previous trial. Last month
the flyer came here in eight hours from
San Antonio and planned to leave Sun
day night. His plane did not lift
promptly, raced to the surf, struck a
wave and turned over on its back. The
lieutenant was unhurt. The wrecked
plane was dissembled and shipped back
to San Antonio, where it was repaired
for tonight 'a trial. .
Lieutenant Doolittle is flying on his
own responsibility insofar as nor raying
his personal expenses. He has the
sanction of the government, however, in
his attempt to prove the feasibility of
quick trans-continental movement of air
craft. ' -.''
Two fellow aviators have tried the
feat before him. ' Of them, Lieutenant
W. D. Coney, of Bruncwick, Ga., partly
succeeded and gave his life in attempt
ing to do it thoroughly. A Lieutenant
Pearson who left from El aso, Tex., for
Jacksonville! for the trans-continental
trial was forced down in the desert
waste of the Big Bend district of Texas
and was lost to the outside world for
several days. Lieutenant Doolittle, who
is 25 years old, has served five years
in the army air service. His De Havl
land4v plane, constructed under his per
sonal supervision, carries 283 gallons of
gas, or enough for 13 and a half hours
in the air. Its fusilage on either side
bears the insignia of the 80th aero
squadron, two pairs of dice, one showing
a "natural seven" and the other, a
fterap."
The air flight is 2.200 miles. Lieu

Samuel Gompers Repeats The
Charges That Injunction Suit
Is Contrary To Constitution
TIERNAN HAS PROOF THAT
HIS WIFE WAS FALSE
University Professor Declares
That He Can Substantiate
Charges Against Poulin,
Clothing Merchant Of South
Bend.
SOUTH BEND, Iud., Sept.. 5. Pro
fessor John T. Tiernan, instructor in tho
law department at the University of
Notre Dame, was ready today to present
prof o of his cliurge that Harry Poulin,
local clothing merchant, is the father
of Mrs. Tiernau's infant son, born last
November, Professor Tiernan obtained
a warrant for the mcchant'a arrest last
Saturday and a hearing has been ar
ranged for this afternoon in a justice
of the peace court. Whether Poulin
will waive a hearing in this court appar
ently had not been determined early to
day. While professor Tiernan declared
be wat ready to substantiate hit charges
Poulin did not reveal what steps he eon
tern plated
Intimations came from the
professor that if the defense does not
waive a hearing sensational evidence
will be disclosed and Mrs. Tiernan will
be tho chief witness.-
The disclosure of his wife's ulleged
romance, according to Professor - Tier
nan, resulted from a slight by Poulin to
Mrs. Tiernan at church one Sunday,
after the birth of the baby, non nino
months old.
' ' 'It was in February of last year that
my wife began to keep clandestine com
pany with Poulin, sho told mo in her
confession," Professor Tiernan declared.
"From this point on it is the old
story of the unsophisticated girl from
the little town of Bronson, Mich., who
couldn 't escape the lure of the charm
fng young 'dandy' of the city.
"My wife would leave her homo and
tho youngsters as often as three nights
a week. She said she was going shop
ping or to the movies. . I never had
any suspicions until lust January but
Mrs. Poulin learned of tho affair in
August of last year. - ""
"Mrs. Poulin had gone to Chicago to
visit a sick sister, taking the two chil
dren with her. In the one week of Mrs.
Poulin's absence, my wife has told me,
she visited the Poulin home three times.
They made thoir great mistake by play
ing the phonograph. Tho neighbors
knew that Mrs, l'oulin was away and
identified the woman in tho house as
my wife.. Mrs. Poulin was duly in
formed on her return and: when sho con
fronted her husband with the story, ho
admitted his misconduct. That same
day Mrs. Poulin called my wife, told
her what she knew, and wrung from her
a pledge of absolute silence.
"Every time niy wife met Poulin on
the street after the birth of the child,
ho always greeted her cheerily. But
ono Sunday morning, last January 8,
my wife encountered him in church,
recognized him as usual, but his attitude
had changed. lie refused to speak.
"She came home weeping and I began
to question her. After a prolonged
grilling, she told mo all. I went to see
l'oulin the next day. Ilia wife answered
tho door and refused to tell me where
bZ was. I did get to see him after
that and frequently havo tried to per
suade him to assume the moral respon
sibility in the case.
"I didn't want to prosecute and as
late as one month ago I called on Pou
lin at his office. His employers can
verify that. I told him then that
for the sake of both families I was go
ing to drop the matter and suffer the
shame in silence for the rest of my
days. He said that was just what I
should do. .
"When I went home and told my
wife, she became riate at once, called
me a fool, and said that no man would
let another get away with what he had.
She kept urging me to prosecute and
it is v only at her request that I am
acting. If I am able to stand the
ordeal, I will cross examine all wit
nesses and especially Poulin himself.
For I know him like a book."
Professor Tiernan and his wife, hav
ing lived together since the birth of
the child, have now effected a separa
tion agreement by which he obtains cus
tody of their two children, five and
three years old. They will be sent to
Chicago to reside with relatives pending
disposition of the case against Poulin.
Mrs. Tiernan will remain here, however,
until after the trial. Then she will go
to the home of her mother, who resides
in a small Michigan town
That the professor's charges are the
anermatb of a blackmail plot which
failed is the contention of Poulin while
the Instructor declares that his fight "is
for the integrity and morality of tho
home. "
