TELLS STORY OF FIRSTS
EXPLORATION OF MINE
JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 19. The
story of tho first exploration iuto tho
Argonaut's workings camo to light
rnrJy toduy. It was told by Louis
Mollimiti, , oue of. the five ' men .who
made it. , . .
. This exploration, an unofficial affair,
Was conducted because one of the live
men was impelled by a desire to help
his brother, i'io Oliva, one of the en
tombed men, if possible. Mino officials
said all five took desjierate chances in
making it. v " . ' ,
The five comprised the crew which
. was enlarging the original one inch drill
hole connecting the Kennedy and Ar-
gonaut workings to a point where rescue
crews could pass through, Mollinuti
said.
"We wero working on a ladder that
led Up into the hole (it then was six
teen inches in diameter). We got the
'hole broken open" large enough for a
man to go through.
William Sinclair, foreman of the
Kennedy, was at the top of the ladder.
He . weut through. Dan Murphy, as
sistant foreman of the Argonaut, was
next. I was third and I weut next. I
was one of tho two digger bosses. After
Die came . Louis Oliva . After Oliva
came Aiigelo Bousa, miner.
"We got up in the 3,200 foot level
and the air seemed good. . So we went
through the tunnel, holding our carbide
lamps close to the ground. We would
not tke a chance of running into gas
. with them. But the air seemed pretty
good and we went ahead.

The situation in Smyrna is still one
of the gravest character. The reign
of terror continues among the Chris

are reported to have fired upon Turk

EXPECT HALL MURDER
MYSTERY TO SOON CLEAR
Arrests Are Expected Today
County Officials Say They
Know Where the Shooting
Occurred and Who Did , It.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept.
19. After three days investigation of
the murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, rector of the Church of St. John
the Evangelist, and Mrs. Eleanor Bern
hardt Mills, wife of James Mills, sexton
of the church, authorities expressed con
fidence that solution of the mystery was
near at bund. Arrests were expected.
County officials declared they knew who
did the shootnig and where it occurred.
The bodies were found Saturday morn
ing side ' by side under an apple -tree
in an orchard in Somerset county.
Some of the authorities have expressed
a belief that the shooting, however, oc
curred over the line in Middlesex
county and that the bodies were then
removed to the spot where they were
discovered . ( .
It has boon disclosed that while the
face of Mrs. Mills bore marks of pow
der burns, no such marks were found
on the body of Mr. Hall. This was
thought to- indicate that the rector was
slain as he attempted to escape and
that the iicrson who shot the couple
was close at hand when the single shot
which killed Mrs. Mills was fired. Four
bullet wounds were found in Mr. Hall's
body. - i . i
Strength was added to the theory that
nnother woman was in the party when
the shooting occurred when it was
learned that Mrs. Mills' face and arms
bore signs of deep nail scratches.
One of four, witnesses who' think they
heard either a woman's scream or the
sound of shooting or both, on tho night
of the killing, told County Detective
Totten, of Somerset county she is cer
tain she heard two women's voices."

! OF SENA TE
TARIFF FIGHT COMES TO
END TODAY AFTER LONG
AND BITTER STRUGGLE
By Unanimous Consent It Is
Agreed to Vote on the
' Matter Today.
VOTE TO BE FAVORABLE?
Senator Underwood Makes
Onslaught On Bill for
Democrats. ' ,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. -The
longest and bitterest fight in the his
tory of the American Congress was to
end at 4 p. m. today under a unani
mous conseut agreement for a vote Ly
tho senate at that hour on the adoption
of the conference report on the admin
istration tariff bill. Favorable action was
regarded as a foregone conclusion, as
wus the approval of the measure by
President Harding.
In the four houis of debate that
preceded the vote, the democrats made
their final onslaught oft the bill, with
Senator Underwood, of Alabama, their
leader, delivering the principal address.
While their fight in Congress was about
ended they expected to carry, it to the
country during" tlu campaign pending
the elections iu November.
The tariff, the first republican pro
tective measure in nearly ten years, lias
been twenty mouths and more in the
making. The house ways and. means
committee begun hearings on January 6,
1921, and the bill was passed by the
house on July 21 of the same year. It
then went to the Senate, where it re
mained with the finance committee since
last April 1. Days later senate con
sideration began and it continued for
four months with only one or two in
terruptions. For the first time in American tariff
making the senate considered the bill
item by item with prolonged delmto
on some of the separate rates. Here
tofore the practice had been to discuss
the entire schedules or only the high
8)ots in each schedule.- Under the new
plan the bill was rewritten gradually on
the senate floor,' but most of the
changes were voted on recommendation
of the finance committee majority.

JENKINS IS ARRESTED
AND HOLD-UP CASE IS
CLEAR, SAY OFFICERS
Winston Merchant. S. L. Jen
kins, Charged With Acts
of Immorality.
HOLD UP WAS PLANNED?
Ku Klux Klan Official Says
Arrest and Evedince Clear
Order of Charges. '
GREENSBORO, Sept. 19. S. L.
Jenkins, merchant of Winston-Salem,
was arrested and placed in Jhe Greens
boro city jail yesterday afternoon on
a charge of immoral relations, with
Margaret Smith with whom . it is said
by police that he 1ms been living off and
on for two years in Cleveland, 0., Roa
noke, Va., Winston-Salem, und Greens
boro, in the latter city under the name
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Webb; and
for whom ,
He arranged the hold up party near
Taylorsville last Thursday night during
which the woman was taken by a group
of masked men (engaged for the pur
pose' by Mr. Jenkins and disguised as
members of the Ku Klux Klan) and
beaten by them because Mr. Jenkins
was tired of her and wanted to get
rid of her; and for whom also
He tried to arrange another whipping
party in WiustoivSnlem Sunday night
mid asked members pt the Ku Klux
Klan 0 do the work for him,
Mr. Jenkins is 45 years old, is mar
ried, and has four children. He con
ducts b general store in Winston-Salem
nndcr his own name. Bond in the sum
of $5,000 was required of him and at
-Lite hoar lust night he had not ar
ranged it.
Arrested In Winston.
Mr. Jenkins was arrested in Winston
Salom about 1 o'clock yesterday by the
Winston-Salem police and was brought
to Greensboro by members of the local
force, who-had gone to Winston Salem
to effect his arrest. Chief of Police
G. P. Crutchfield sent for Rev. and
Mrs.' H. O. Nash, with whom it is
charccd that' Jenkins and Margaret
Smith have' been living for the past
three weeks under the names of Mr.
and Mrs." Webb, and, according to the
police, the man was jtositively identified
by Mrs. Nash as the man -who came
to her home under the name of Mr.
Webb. Mr. Nash," tho police said,
could not be certain of bis identity.
Mr. Nash had previously said that he
had seen Mr. Webb but rarely and
doubted if he would know him if he
saw him. To a reporter for the Daily
News Mr. Nash said later that neither
lie nor Mrs. Nash had any statement to
make. . ' i
The woman in the case, Margaret
Smith, after telling the police that she
had been with Jenkins, was not ar
rested. JShe was at the police station
yesterday afternoon and left with Mr.
and Mrs. Nash. J. C. Gold, of Til
lery, a representative of the Ku Klux
Klan, who has been working , on the
case for the organization, said she
would go to Winston-Salem with him
and would be cared for there by
friends.
The charge on which 'Jenkins is ar
rested deals only with his alleged living
in Greensboro with Margaret Smith as
man and wife under the name of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles E. Webb. Police
officials said he would almost certainly
be prosecuted also on additiouul charges
relating to the Taylorsville hold up and
probably under the Mann act 'for his
alleged relations with the woman in
other states.
Jenkins Denies.
Jenkins, seen in the city jail, denied
tliat he had used the name . of - Webb,
denied that he knew Margaret Smith,
though he said there was someting fa
miliar about her face, denied that he
lmd been to see her or any other woman
in Greensboro,, denied that he had been
to Taylorsville Thursday night, denied
that ' he bad ' any connection with the !
affair.
"Thursday night I was in Alleghany
county on private business," he said.
"I saw there my brother-in-law, Dan
.Tones, who lives about 12 miles fnm
Sparta, and had supjter with " him.
Some time after supper I started home
to Winston-Salem. I was on the road
nearly all night and reached Winston
Salem at 6 o'clock Friday morning."
The jtolice, however, assert vigorously
that Jenkins is the man. They regard
the mystery of the Taylorsville hold-up
as now unrftiestionably solved and they
say that the Ku Klux Klan had nothing
to do with it. On the contrary, both
Chief Crutchfield and Assistant Chief
Current said, members of the klan were
of valuable assistance in unraveling the
mystery and without them the police
would probably still be i u the dark.
J. 0. Gold, representative of the
I klan. says the same thing. He regards
the Taylorsville- episode as a reflection
jon the klan and for the past few days
'lie and others, have . been . working to
j clear the matter up. He saw Mar-

WAR NO NEARER THAN '
IT WAS DAY OR TWO AGO
LONDON, Sept. 19. (By The As
sociatt'd Tress.) The wideiy heralded
"new war in tho NeaT East," which
Trime Minister Lloyd George's political
enemies barge him with deliberately in
voking, has not begun, and so far as ap
parent to the public, is no nearer than it
was yesterday. ' -
There is, however, no diminution of
the excitement which the Government's
declaration of a policy of force awak
aned on Saturday, and the mntter con
tinues to be a subject of hot discussion. '
Hi defense put forward by the gov
ernment's advocates is that, far from
seeking war, it is doing its utmost to
prevent one, and that to this end it is
uecessjiry to impresa Mustapha . Kemal
Pasha with the fact that Great Britain
win not anow mm To marcn on vonstan

George as the chief author of it.
The labor leaders especially are np In
arms against what they described as the
Cabinet's mudness. Their spokemen tell
the government that the workers will not
have another w;ar, and are determined to
prevent it . The matter is to bo discussed
at a general council of the trades union
congress tomorrow, when it is anticipated
some emphatic action will be decided up
on. ' .
Between those extreme views is an
other which holds the government's in
tention good, and its insistence upon the
preservation of the neutral zone pruise
worthy, but believes that, by moving
without' the agreement of the Allies, it
mude a clumsy, mischievious blunder.
The advocates of this pinion particu
larly insist upon the. earliest possible
summoning of a conference of Euro
pean powers to settle the whoW question
of Turkey's boundaries. - ,
Meanwhile the activities of Mustapha
Kemal Pasha are shrouded in mystpry.
A Constantinople desputch to The Times

This, however,-does not necessarily
