11 MEET DEATH IN GAS-FILLED SEWER pNEL 15 Other Firemen, Workers Rescued After Being Trapped All Night. POISONED BY SMOKE Survivors Barricaded by Bulkhead; Air Pumped In to Save Them. BY ROBERT T. LOUGHRAN United Press Staff Correspondent, CHICAGO, April 14.—. fifteen men were found alive today in the flaming sanitary district tunnel on the southwest side where eleven others had been killed during the night by clouds of poisonous smoke. A bulkhead in the tunnel had held back the smoke and fumes which killed eleven other firemen and workers while squads' of firemen pumped fresh air into the shaft in the hope of maintaining life until a rescue could be effected. Among those who had survived the night of horror were eight firemen and seven tunnel workers. “Fire Captain James O’Neil, one of the entombed men, still was in the tunnel half an hour after the others scurried to safety. One fireman attempting to reach him was overcome by fumes. It was feared O’Neil was unconscious or perhaps dead. He was not missed for some time in the excitement caused by the appearance of the survivors. The men ran shouting from their “prison” and boarded the little elevator wihch could carry only four men at a time. Heard Air Blowers They had released themselves from the protecting barricade when they heard the powerful blowers sucking out the poisonous air. Division Marshal Patrick Pierce gingerly opened the small bulkhead door, sniffed the smoky air, shouted “Come on men, it’s safe," and out they ran. None appeared much the worse for his harrowing night’s experience. Fire engines that had been parked around the tunnel entrance since Monday night, when the fire began, set up a terrific din as the survivors appeared in the open. Whistle cords were tied down and chauffeurs pressed siren buttons. Policeman Is Run Down The death toll of the tunnel fire stood at twelve when the survivors were accounted for. Three firemen died in the tunnel fumes trying to save the trapped workmen, eight of whom died within a short time after the fire started. The twelfth victim was Harry Fielder, a policeman, who was killed by one of the ambulances bearing victims from the disaster scene. The first man out was John Yurgin, one of the workmen. He blinked as he came into the sunlight, which was hazy with smoke that gushed from the tunnel all night. “I’m OK,” he said v “What did you do down there all night?” he was asked. “We just sat and waited,” he said, as he left in the arms of his family. Children Wait All Night Marshal Pierce waited until most of the survivors were out before he appeared in the elevator. His six grown children who had waited all night at the tunnel fearful but hoping he would come out alive, swarmed around him. His white shirt hardly was soiled, although he had spent the night in the muck of the air chamber. “I’m fine,” Pierce said, after kissing all his grown children several times each. “We could have stayed another twelve hours down there all right, even if they hadn’t started pumping. “We just sat around all night, speculating on how long it would be before, they got us out. We could hear them groping in the tunnel and turn on the blowers.” Smoke Permeates Tunnel

It was the gropers seeking the entombed men who died from the poisonous, dust-like smoke that permeated the seventeen-foot-high tunnel. •*I peeked out the door when the air pressure lessened and we took a chance and ran," said Pierce, a veteran of the fire department. Despite his protests, Peirce was taken to a hospital for examLition, as were the others. Yurgin seemed more worried about missing his pay than over the experience. "What time is it?” he asked. Told that it was a little after 9 a. m., he said: “I’m kinda tired and sleepy and don’t want to go back to work today, but I can't afford to miss the pay.” All night the blaze, believed to have started in the sawdust and shaving packing that lined the tunnel. defied firemen and mine experts. Treated at Tunnel Twenty-eight workers and firemen were in St. Anthony's hospital for treatment, but none in a dangerous condition. More than a dozen were treated at the tunnel shaft and not taken to hospitals. The fire apparently started in the sawdust and shaving lining of the 400-foot tunnel, 400 feet long and 17 feet in diameter, that runs east and west at Twenty-second and Laflin streets, southwest of the loop. It is being built by the sanitary district and is one link of a large sewer. Mike Morrissey, 60-year-old veteran fireman, easily was the outstanding hero.

IT’S ‘PLAY BALL’ DAY FOR U. S. A. Hoosiers Face Saints at Washington Park in Opening Baseball Struggle. Baseball hysteria, making its annual spring sweep over the nation today, included Indianapolis in its area. Diamond fans of the Hoosier capitol were steamed up to go out to the ball park and watch Johnny Corrlden’s 1931 remodeled Indians lift the lid on the new campaign in the American Asosciation in the opening day battle with Lefty Leifield’s St. Paul Saints. It’s the beginning of the thirtieth season for the big minor league of the middle west and President Thomas J. Hickey of Chicago was on hand to view the action.

Two veterans of the circuit, Bill Burwell of the Tribesmen and Walter Betts of the Apostles, drew the important mound assignments for the struggle, and both teams were pinning faith in the right arms of the two flingers, who have met frequently in the past in hard fought games. Handling the backstop duties were Johnny Riddle for the home club and slugging Bob Fenner for the visitors. Preceding the contest, there was a downtown parade that included numerous floats, several bands, members of the competing teams, civic club boosters, city and state executives and other Tribe rooters. Governor Harry G. Leslie and Mayor Reginald Sullivan were to form the honorary battery to put the first ball in play and official hostilities were to get under way at 3 p. m. Majors Begin Drive By United Press NEW YORK. April 14.—The long, dustry drive toward October and the glory and riches of the world series begin today when sixteen major league clubs inaugurate the 1931 baseball season on eight different fronts. The 1931 campaign should provide the millions of fans with two of the hottest races seen in years. No less than five National League clubs—St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Brooklyn and Pittsburgh—are of championship caliber, while in the American League three clubs— Philadelphia, Washington and New York —appear strong enough to wage a neck-and-neck battle to the finish. Philadelphia’s Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals are the popular favorites to retain their honors won in 1930. The opening day schedule follows: NATIONAL LEAGUE Brooklyn at Boston. Pittsburgh at Chicago. St. Louis at Cincinnati. New Tork at Philadelphia. AMEBICAN LEAGUE Detroit at St. Louis. Chicago at Cleveland. Philadelphia at Washington. Boston at New York. Washington's is likely to be the most gala opening with the worldchampion Athletics and Senators providing the setting for the customary gay and elaborate ceremonies which the national capital alone can accord. President and Mrs. Hoover will be in attendance and the President will toss out the first ball.

AMERICANS DIE IN NICARAGUA Four Are Slain by Rebels: 300 Marines Ordered Landed at Scene. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 14.—The commander of the U. S. S. Asheville reported to the navy department today that four Americans had been killed and three were missing at Puerto Cabazas in Nicaragua. The message did not indicate whether the Americans slain were marines or civilians. Meanwhile, messages from-marine officers in Nicaragua to the navy indicated insurrectionists were roaming the east coast area around Puerto Cabazas. There are extensive American interests in lumber and fruit growing in that part of the country. The state department authorized the navy department to land 300 marines from the cruiser Asheville, announcing the marines would remain only until the Guardia Nacianole could arrive and protect the city. After the troops arrive the Americans will be given an opportunity to evacuate the city on the Asheville or on the steamship Cefalu. Virtually all of the Americans in the area are employed by the Standard Fruit and Steamship Company. The Asheville’s commander reported that virtually the entire America* population of the town either was on the docks or aboard the Cefalu.

HIS DAY IS DONE! Deposed Ruler King at Birth

By United Press MADRID, April 14.—Don Alfonso XIII, who resigned from the throne of Spain today, was born a king on May 17, 1886, and was crowned on his sixteenth birthday. Though still one of the younger kings of Europe, he has been a sovereign for more years than any of his elder colleagues. He was often, in the closing years of his reign, beset by ill health and his heart has given him so much trouble that his physicians some time ago, ordered him to cease playing polo. Physically he is an attractive man, tall and wiry. He walks with a springy step; his skin is olive, his eyes brown, and he has a large bony nose and lantern jaw—facial characteristics of the Haps’ourgs—and the full mouth of the Bourbons. In dress he is inclined to eccentricity, although when wearing his kingly uniforms, he always has given the impression of the romantic monarchs of long ago. He was the frequet target of assassins. On the day of his accession, plotters started after him with enough dynamite to blow up half of Madrid, but the conspiracy was nipped.

When Alfonso married the British Princess Ena, the royal carriage was bombed. The Spanish people liked him for his keen interest in sports. He was an accomplished polo player until he had to give it up. He likes to shoot pigeons, to sail, to play tennis, to swim and golf. IN recent years he has upheld the traditions of pomp and ceremony in the Spanish court. One of the most colorful rites, inaugurated some 700 years ago, was that of “El Lavatoria,” in which the king each holy Thursday, washes and kisses the feet of thirteen elderly beggars. The queen performs the same rites on thirteen poor women. The king was a frequent traveler. He loved the gay life of Paris, the thrills of the gambling casinos at Monte Carlo and Nice, the companionship of the beautiful women of Deauville. u tt n WHEREVER he went on the continent he danced and dined with beautiful women, and he had a deep interest in the theater. Many actresses have been showered with gifts because their performances had pleased Alfonso. Alfonso was born after the death of his father, Alfonso XII. and his birth met with great rejoicing. Alfonso has six children, the prince of Asturias, Prince Jaime, Don Juan, Gonzalo, Princess Beatriz and Maria Christina. The prince of Asturias, eldest son, suffers from a hereditary malady and can scarcely walk without support. The second son, Jaime, was born deaf and mute.

981 Years of Monarchy Are Ended; Zamora, People's President Choice, Forms New Cabinet. BY JOHN DEGANDT United Press Staff Corresponcent MADRID, April 14.—The ancient throne of Spain fell today to join the other royal houses that have gone down in the post-war debacle, and a republican government was formed to rule the country. Alfonso XIII, born a king and head of the house of Bourbon, acceded to th demands of the triumphant Republican leaders that he get out— not merely abdicate in favor of his son, but resign and let the Republicans rule, ending 981 years of monarchial government in Spain. Alcala Zamora, Republican leader and popular choice for president, formed a cabinet and prepared for the formal transfer of power from the monarchy to the republic before sunset. His proclamation read: “The formula for the transition of government was agreed upon. The king will renounce the throne for himself and all his heirs before Fernando de Los Rios, Republican minister of justice. “After that the new ministers will take the oath before De Los Rios to uphold the republic.” The king was granted a safe conduct from Spain and was expected to leave as soon as possible with the royal family. All the princes and princesses were in Madrid, with one exception. Raise Republican Flag

The republican flag was raised over the postoffice and other public buildings. Republics were proclaimed in Barcelona and Sevilla, and the republican flag was hoisted there, in Santander, and other cities. Demonstrations of rejoicing were held in cities throughout Spain. Fair order was maintained, although there were riotous scenes in some places. Two wore killed at Dalarosa and three injured in Huelva. The triumph of tire republicans was so swift and bloodless that the country hardly could realize what momentous event were taking place until they had become an accomplished fact. The overturn started Sunday, when municipal elections were held throughout Spain. The Republicans carried almost every city. When the extent of the victory was realized Monday, Zamora called on the king to resign. The cabinet, headed by Premier Juan B. Aznar, advised the ruler that they could not remain in office, and counseled him to accede to the republican demands. King Bears Self Well The king resisted to the last, hoping for a peaceful solution, but he bore himself well, saying he realized his duty to his people and the significance of their repudiation of him in the election. At the last, he' capitulated when he realized that resistance w’ould lead to civil war and bloodshed. The dramatic moment came when Count Romanoes, minister of state, was sent from the royal palace to Zamora to announce that the king would give in. Romanoes first said the king was willing to abdicate in favor of the Prince of Asturias, his eldest son, but Zamora replied the Republicans would accept nothing less than complete renunciation cf power into the hands of the people. The proposition finally was ac- j cepted. Zamora said the transition from a monarchy to a republic must be accomplished within a few hours, because he would refuse to accept the responsibility for what might happen Wednesday if a republic were not proclaimed today. Established Headquarters The Republican provisional cabinet established headquarters this afternoon in the Casa Del Pueblo, or house of the people, Socialist center. A parade of manifestation started through the center of the city en route to the city hall at 4:15 p. m. The transition cabinet was in continuous session, and in tele- j phonic communication writh all provinces. Political exiles in Paris ; were instructed to proceed at once to the border, where they would re- | ceive further instructions. At 4:30 p. m. the special train on which the royal family will leave Spain was made up and waiting for ! them.

T ONGWORTH kept a close watch on the Ohio political situation, and won re-election, but no advancement, every two years. In the house a young newcomer, George W. Norris, was causing trouble in Republican ranks by protesting against the despotic control exercised by the Speaker, Uncle Joe Cannon. Longworth was cne of Cannon’s lieutenants, but their fight was ineffectual, and Cannon was shorn of his power. But Longworth sought greater power, and advancement was slow. He hoped for a gubernatorial or senatorial nomination, but it never came. (To Be Continued.!

JOB SOLD DY ROWBOTTOM, WITNESS SAYS Rockport Man Declares He Bought Berth for Son, Paying $750. SECRET VISIT IS BARED Emissary Came to Home to Peddle Mail Post, Is Girl's Charge. BY BEN STERN Time, Staff Correspondent EVANSVILLE, Ind., April 14 How a member of the United States congress is said to have haggled and bartered like a small trader in selling public offices intrusted to his discretion, was described here today, as the trial of Harry E. Rowbottom upon charges of “selling” postoffice appointments, opened in federal court. Entire groundwork of the government’s case against the three-time congressman was laid by George R. Jeffrey, district attorney, in his opening statement to the jury. The defense waived an opening statement. Jeffrey followed his plan of campaign, which had not been changed by Nugent Dodds, assistant attorney-general from Washington, who this morning did not participate actively in the trial. A jury was obtained after only an hour’s questioning. Faces Nine Counts The trial was opened with Federal Judge Charles Woodward ut Chicago reading the nine counts in the indictment against the excongressman. First important witness called by Jeffrey was Miss Evelyn Ayer, who told how William G. Davisson came to her home in Rockport, Ind., and asked to see her father, Walter G. Ayer. Davisson was discharged as Petersburg postmaster Immediately upon disclosure of the alleged irregularities. Davisson asked the girl to step to the rear of the house and told her he did not want any one to know he was in the town. Miss Ayer testified. “Ycu tell her father to call Rowbottom tonight or early in the morning and go to Evansville and see him at his hotel,” she testified Davisson said to her. “Jobs to Sell” "You know Harry (RowbottonU was defeated in the campaign and he spent a lot of his money, so he now has some postmasterships and rural mail carrier jobs to dispose of,” she testified Davisson told her Following his daughter to the stand, Ayer testified he wanted to obtain a rural mail carrier position for his son, Gresham Ayer Ayer told the jury he went to Evansville, Nov. 17, 1930, to see Rowbcttom; that he was not there and he conversed with Fred J. Fisher, Rowbottom’s campaign manager. Ayer testified he told Fisher he wanted to “get that rural mail carrier job for his son.” “ ‘You know, we have been offered SSOO for that job,’ ” Ayer said Fisher told him. ‘Will ycu give ssoo?’ ” Agrees to Pay “I agreed, after some hesitancy,” Ayer testified. Fisher then, according to Ayer's testimony, said: “This may be a dirty, mean question, but how much would you give?” Ayer said he replied that he did not know. Ayer testified that Fisher advanced the “cost of the job” to $750 and that he agreed to pay this instead of SSOO. Ayer said he asked Fisher to send a message to Rowbottom that he would pay $750. Continuing, Ayer testified that on Nov. 21 he returned to Evansville and asked Rowbottom who the man was at his (Ayer's) home. Called “Fine Christian”

“Billy Davisson,” Ayr said Rowbottom answered. Ayer said Rowbottom declared Davisson was “as fine a Christian gentleman as you ever saw 7 .” Rowbottom then asked for the $750, Ayer testified. Ayer told the jury that he hesitated about giving the money to Rowbottom. “I’ll give it to someone to hold.” Ayer testified he told Rowbottom. “Rowbottom told me that he didn't want any one to know about it, because there were too many who would talk too much.” After further conversation, Ayer testified, he returned to his home, and the hext day “obtained the money” and brought it to Rowbottom. The government did not ask where Ayer obtained the money. “I told Rowbottom all I could raise was $500,” Ayer testified. “I am a poor man. Rowbottom told me that he had to have $750 for that jof or I wouldn't get it. I sent my brother, Aaron, who was with me, out and he came back with the rest of the money.” Jury Is Chosen Members of the jury hearing the case are: J. a. Ellis, Orleans, farmer: Charles Brown, Rockville, hardware merchant; Grant Hughel, Anderson, farmer: Edward Corrie, Madison, farmer; Elmer Lester. Scoftsburg, farmer; Lon Credv, Nashville, storekeeper; Henry C. Davis Jr., Kokomo, manufacturer; Carl Bailey, Selma, painter; Frank R. Keifner, Terre Haute, real estate operator; Dan Carpenter, Veedersburg, farmer; John Hill, sixteen miles east of Indianapolis, farmer, and John Borrum, Tipton, furniture dealer. Shortly after Rowbottom entered the courtroom his wife and son Emerson, accompanied by his former secretary, Miss Edna Roberts, also (Turn to Page Two)
