WELL SHOOTER ANNIHILATED BY BLASTOF NITRO Harvey Humphries Blown to Pieces When Explosive Lets Go. WIFE AND 6 CHILDREN LEFT Rough Roads Blamed for Tragedy in Eastern Part of State. By United Press PORTLAND, Ind., July IS.—Harvey Humphries, oil well shooter, was blown to pieces last night by an explosion of nitroglycerin. He was driving over rough roads with a quantity of the explosive. The widow and six children were mourning today. Humphries was a shooter for the Independent Torpedo Company. "I wish you’d quit that job," his wife remarked frequently. But Harvey made "good money” and looked forward to the time when he would have enough laid by for investment to keep the family when he became old. Thirty quarts were in a tank. The automobile struck a rut in the road. The entire countryside was shaken by the blast. Fragments of the automobile were found, but not a trace of Humphries’ body.

TO USE FORCE AT COAL MINES IF NECESSARY President and Cabinet Meet Again on Issue of Production. By United Press WASHINGTON. July 18.—President Harding and his Cabinet met as a council of war today, determined to force the production of coal in the face of the. strike of 600,000 miners and the refusal of their leaders and operator chieftains to submit to arbitration. Harding "invited” the bituminous operators to reopen their mines when the owners accepted in part his arbi- : tration proposal and offered to put their mines and services at the President’s disposal. Keeping in mind the massacre of mine guards and non-union miners at Herrin. 111., and the fatal battle between deputies and mine strikers In West Virginia, the President and his Cabinet discussed the advisability of placing Federal troops on guard at all mines accepting the invitation to reopen. HERRIGKSPENDS LITTLE TIME IN WOOING LADIES Oklahoma Congressman Said to Devote 17 Hours a Day to Duties. WASHINGTON —If ability to refrain from "running after women” is a qualification for election to Congress, Representative Manuel Herrick, Oklahoma's bachelor-legislator, ought to win in a walk. Herrick is now canvassing the farmers in his district, but a carefully prepared campaign statement that he has sent to his office here explains all. In so many words, the statement declares that he has been attending to his legislative duties In Washington instead of “running around after women.” Furthermore, it adds that “he has never been sued for breach of promise and never will be.” It is quite apparent from Herrick’s statement that he has little time for wooing the fair sex, for his carefully prepared time-table shows that he works seventeen hours a day at congressing. The schedule shows he labors right straight from 7 a. m. to hiidnight each day and makes no claim on Uncle Sam for overtime pay. Those who fear that the Congressman, who now owns an airplane, will fall and break his neck are solemnly assured in the final paragraph that he bears a charmed life. "He is the man whom airplane crashes cannot kill,” it says. And there it quits. VAUGHN MADE SECRETARY Will Succeed Hyman in Munrie Chamber of Commerce Post. By United Press MUNCIE, Ind.. July 18.—S.
