By the Associated Press. : MORGANTOWN, W. V4., June 19.—The Smoke Eaters’ Associa- tion, an organization of coal mine disaster survivors, met here today. Two hundred veteran miners, many of them prominently jden- tofied with underground disasters of the last decade, were present. They exchanged reminiscences of scenes of death and destruction encountered in rescue work. He- roes of many catastrophies were modest guests at a banquet of the association, which restricts mern- bersnip to men in segvice in mines under actual disaster conditions where safety apparatus and arti- ficial breathin§tequipment are nec- essary. Representatives of the United States Bureau of Mines advised the veterans on the care of equipment at fires and explosions. PARLIAMENT 10 PROVIDE ROOM IN WHICH WOMEN MAY SMOKE Only One of Four Feminine Mem- bers Uses Cigarettes, and She Insists on Seclusion. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 19.—A smoking room all to herself ts to be assigned to Miss Suzanne Lawrence, one of four women Members of Parlia- ment. Lady Astor and the three other commoners do not smoke, but the Laborite member for East- ham does. Miss Lawrence convinced the parliamentarians that even though Lady Astor and the other women frowned upon cigarette smoking by women, she at least was entitled to a sequestered place in which to have a quiet puff. She comes of a family of barristers, has a dcep, resonant voice which is easily heard througheut the chamber, and be- gan her public career on the Lon- don Sechool Board. She gerved as a member pf the House in 1923-24 and was re-elected in the labor landslide in Eastham last April. FASCISTS LIKE ‘RAH-RAH’ YELL ROME, June 19.—Rah-rah yell- ing in a fashion which, would make .an American cheer leader home- sick is the favorite outlet of en- thusiasm for Fascists, young or old. Adopting the American method, virtually unknown abroad, _ the Fascists have instituted a national “college’”’ yell. “Eja, eja, eja, alahah,”’ rings out whenever Fascists get together. The first three syllables are barked out quickly and throatily by a cheer leader while the crowd, as a single man,’‘barks the “alalah.” While yelling, the Fascists salute, and, immediately afterward, shout “Long live Mussolini.” ae ee a CLOUDY AND WARMER TODAY: THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT THE TEMPERATURES.

Hospital and a leading authority in his specialty, died Thursday a ester, Minn., from cancer of the stomach, which he himself diag- nosed and announced was incura- ble. During his long {illness he continued his work at the Mayo clinic and eompleted a book on X-ray diagnosis. e About nine months ago, Dr. Car- man submitted to an X-ray ex- amination. He looked at the pic- ture, announced that he was suf- fering with cancer and declared, “It’s only a short time now and It, will be all over—it’s incurable.” The same evening he drove into St. Paul and delivered a_ tech- nical address on cancer of the stomach and its diagnosis by X- ray. He did not mention that he himself was suffering with that disease, and many of his_ best friends were unaware of it. Supervises Re-examination, Returning, to Rochester, he di- rected a second X-ray examination three days later. Dr. Carman di- rected the adjustment of the ma- chine. “You've got it too far left,"” he told his assistant. it over to the right.” When the plate was developed he pointed out that the cancer could not be reached by surgery. A consultation and exploratory examination was held a few days later with the same decision. Dr. Carman was advised by fel- low physicians to rest, to take things easy. He refused. ‘“T have work to finish before I die,’’ he said. He set to work to finish his man- uscript on X-ray diagnosis of dis- ease and within two months sent it to his publisher. Thereafter he continued his work in the Mayo clinic until two weeks ago when he became acutely afflicted and could not go on. He died at his home Thursday to the “Shift ee ' ; ' ’ ; ' ; ' i to- | | in | versity of Minnesota, ' tions he held at his death. He was evening and Will be buried this af- ternoon.

GRECIAN TEMPLE IS" ADDED TO MAIN SHAFT Excavation Is Started on First Foundation Pier— Completion Expected by _ September, 1928. Members of the Memorial Plaza Commission, not satisfied with the loriginal design for the new $4,000,- $00 Civil Courthouse, have scrapped their first conception for the top of the monumental structure, added 104 feet to the height, so that it will be 880 feet high, rising 10 feet above the new Bell Telephone Building, and placed a Grecian temple above the main shaft. They believe they have aided greatly the impressiveness of their work. The Courthouse, funds for which were provided in the 1923 bond. iasue, will face Memorial Plaza in the block bounded by Twelfth boulevard, Eleventh, Mar- ket and Chestnut streets. Its first foundation pjer is being sunk now. Excavation and sinking of 77 more plers under the first big contract will begin within 10 days. Con- struction will continue steadily and completion of the project is expect- ed by Sept. 1928. Height and the novelty of the surmounting temple design will be the outstanding features of the building. In the architects’ nomen- clature there will be 13 floors, but these will be lofty and 10 of them will have partial mezzanines, mak- ing virtually 23 stories. Flat Roof in Original Plan.

The first courthouse design made | public had a flat roof, with the two upper stories slightly set back in the modern style. Just below the promenade thus formed a row of pillars, or engazed colonnade, wes placed within the wall on each side for the height of two floors. Up to the point of the setback virtually the only changs made tn the plan was to remove the colon- nades and send the walls straight up, topping each carner with the outstretched wings of an eagl>. Th2 setback is for seven feet on all sides, at a point 220 feet high. A Temple of Justice. Above this the temple will rise for 160 feet—a bulk as big as 4 cathedral, perched aloft— a verit- able temple of justice, housing the St. Louis Court of Appeals and the St. Louls Law Library. It is pat- terned after an ancient Greek edl- fice at Halicarnassus. A free col- onnade of eight Ionic pillars on each side will surround it, hold- ing up a public promenade 245 feenr above the streets, which will. af- ford a broad view of tha city. These columns will be 42 feet high and ffve feet in diameter anc weigh $0 tons each. A pyramid of 11 huge steps will form the roof. with two sphinxes 10 feet high at its apex.

VICTORY LARGELY DUE TO SKILL OF JOCKEY SANDE Bagenbaggage, Favorite, and Winner of Rich ' Purses, Second by a Nose —$25,000 to Victor. DELIRIOUSLY GREAT AS A HORSE RACE. Time of 2:03 2-5 for, the Mile and Quarter Route Equals Record of Fastest Kentucky Derby. By WILLIAM F. AILEN - A horse race isn’t always won by a horse. Sometimes a man wins. Earl Sande, America’s best known jockey, kicked the dope on the first running of the Fairmount Derby higher than a blue moon jyester- day when he ‘carried Haste to a whisker victory over the favorite, Bagenbaggage, equalling. the best time ever made {= the Kentucky Derby and turning a crowd of more than 20,000 pop-eyed ex- ultant excitement, forgetful for the moment that the bulk of its money was on a aod. { One jump beyond the finish, Bagenbaggage poked his nose in front. Too late. It wag the nose a jump before. the finish that counted and that was Haste’s nose, Sande had measured his mount’s stamina to a hair. The Bradley pair had tried to whipsaw him and failed. Worth $25,725 to Winner. The race was worth $26,736 to the winner. Bagenbaggage, who h@s been hogging rich purses this ‘year, had to be content with $3000 for second. His .stablemate, t to Boot placed third, $1600; ana Rock Man came fourth—$750. Dr. Cardenas was far in the rear. The time was 2:02 2-6. As a gambling event, the Derby was pretty much of @ fizzle. There was plenty of betting, but no “keil}- ings.” Haste paid $4 for each $2 bet on him to win. He paid only $2.10 to place—that is, those who bet he would finish at leabt second collected a 10 cent profit. Those | who bet on the two Bradley horses coupled in the betting, to place, won 10 cents on each $2. There were no show tickets sol4. The fiel4 was too small. . The Derby stood on its merits as a horse race. Even in defeat, Owngg Bradiey’s first remark was: “I never saw a& more thrilling race.” eS Strategy of Stable. It was deliriously great—a racé to turn the most placid soul tep- sy-turvy. The strategy of the Bradley stable was obvious,’ Boot to Boot was to carry Haste until he tired. Then Bagenbaggage was to rush from behind and come home to his third Derby victory of his’glorious career as a three-year- old. The Bradley stable was to maintain its unbeaten record in the West. The race was run just that way, except that Bagenbaggage could not quite reach Haste, whose every ounce had been carefully nursed by Sande for the challenge. When it came to jockeying, Sande was not — to be outjockeyed.
