RESCUE IS NEAR FOR 2 TRAPPED; THIRDIS DEAD ‘Hurry,’ Say Men Entombed for Eight Days; Food Is Lowered. (Contimird From Page One)

Robertson, was at the other end of the circuit. “In the name of God, hurry, hurry,” Scadding pleaded. Ivey, keeping anxious vigil at the surface along with Nova Scotian officials and hundreds of people from the countryside, spoke first to Dr, Robertson over the improvised microphone circuit. The conversation with the men who had staved off death for a week but still were face to face with it went like this: Ivey—How are you, Eddie? Robertson—We are going up on the east slope. We can hear you digging. For God’s sake don’t blast. Scadding—Can you hear us? Ivey—Yes, perfectly. Scadding—We have difficulty moving around. Our feet are sore and wet. Steaming Soup Lowered Robertson—What day is it? Ivey—Monday the 20th. Robertson—Did you say Sunday? (An official here suggested to Ivey that it would be better to tell them it was Sunday.) Ivey—Yes, Sunday. Do you want some food? (No answer.) Ivey—The doctor says you have to eat so we are sending down some soup through the rubber hose. Robertson—Okay. Then steaming soup in vials was lowered through the pipe and there was no further conversation for a time. Through pipes, came the story of the tragedy. Dr. Robertson and Scadding were too weak to give full details, but it appeared Magill had been dead even before the rescers succeeded in sinking the pipe Ith a diamond drill early yesterday A weak, broken voice drifted up the pipe from the mine. It apparently was the voice of Dr. Robertson because it spoke with certainty of physical conditions and the chances of survival. It rejected the food that had been lowered through the pipe and demanded concentrated foods and an anti-acid. “Too Late,” Is Answer "How long? . . . How Long?” asked the voice. "Two or three days,” shouted B. H. Ivey of London, Ontario, a brother-in-law of Dr. Robertson, into the top of the pipe. “Too late . . . Too late,” said the voice. Ivey assembled the rescue workers, miners of Welsh and English antecedenst accustomed to the rigors of this rough country. "The ony way is through the Reynolds shaft,” he announced. Every man knew the dangers of Reynolds shaft. It is a sloping shaft, considered so dangerous even 25 years ago, when the mine was last operated, that it was closed. But all volunteered instantly to work it and the first shift of "draggermen”—l2 miners with picks and shovels—went in at once. Behind them, crews of shorers propped up the crumbling ceiling and walls. This occurred at 2 a. m. today. Tells of Friends Death At 3 a. m. Ivey again established communication through the pipe. This time the voice below was that of Scadding, but so weak and changed that Ivey would not believe it until the speaker assured him that he was Scadding. The conversation took place stretched out on his stomach, his lips to the pipe, his head covered by a piece of canvas to magnify his voice, Scadding crouched beneath the pipe in the damp mine tunnel, filling with seepage, illuminated by a few candles lowered througt the pipe. Scadding—“Where is Mrs. Magill?” Ivey—"She’s up at the house. She’s alseep.” Scadding—‘Can’t she speak?” Ivey—“No, she’s asleep.” Scadding—“Want to tell her that her husband is dead.” Ivey—“Yes, we know about poor Mac. We don’t intend to tell her, until morning.” Threatened by Drowning. Scadding—“When can you get us out?" Ivey—“ln two or three days.” Scadding—”We'll be dead by that time.” Ivey—“We're trying another way." Scadding—“How long will that take?” Ivey—“Four or five hours.” Scadding—“Hurry.” Ivey broke off the conversation, ostensibly to lower more candles, but actually because he feared weakening Scadding further by keeping him talking. The threat of death by drowning also menaced the imprisoned men in their subterranean cage, but they had the questionable solace of knowing that they would be rescued or dead of exposure and starvation before the water could close in on them. It was rising from the mine below them and seeped through the ceiling of their tunnel. V’ork With Grim Efficiency On the surface, the rescue crews worked with grim efficiency. One crew worked in the dangerous Reynolds shaft. Another worked at a diamond drill, sinking another fiveinch pipe into the tunnel. Still another worked on a vertical shaft, this last to be used to remove the bodies should the heroic effort to reach the men through the Reynolds shaft fail. More men were dragging a steam boiler over the wooded, rocky and hilly countryside and others were working on pumping machinery. The boiler will provide power to pump the well dry if that becomes necessary to reach the men’s bodies if efforts to rescue them alive do not succeed. Moose River is a tiny mining community 30 miles west of Halifax. The Magill mine is in a tiny valley but extends beneath hills on either side. Nurses Hear Speaker Dr. Maurice V. Kahler is to speak on obstetrics before Nursing Service Bureau members of the Indiana State Nurses’ Association Wednesday afternoon at the Ball residence, 1232 w. Michigan-st.

Manager of Townsend Is Optimistic First - Ballot Victory in Convention Forecast by Dick Heller. Democrats of Indiana go to the polls May 5 to name 1845 delegates to the party's state convention in Indianapolis on June 16. The 1845 delegates will decide whether Pleas E. Greenlee, Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, E. Kirk McKinney, or a “dark horse” will be the party's standard-bearer in the race for Governor. Republicans are to name 1723 delegates at the primary who are to meet here June 3 in state convention to decide the G. O. P. nominee for Governor. The Republican gubernatorial race opened this week with Raymond S. Springer, Connersville, and Herbert H. Evans, Newcastle state Representative, leading a field of seven, according to observers. Other G. O. P. Possibilities Other announced Republican candidates are Glen Fillis, Kokomo. Mayor Samuel Beecher, Terre Haute; Mayor Clare Bangs, Huntington; George R. Hill, Michigan City, and Elza Rogers, Lebanon attorney. Today two of the three camps booming Democratic canc idates make the following claims: Dick Heller, campaign manager for Mr. Townsend: “Mr. Townsend will be nominated on the first ballot. It fakes 923 to nominate and we have 959 delegates, on a conservative estimate, who will be victors at the polls and pledged to us in the convention.” Managers Make Claims Hallie Myers, campaign manager for Mr. Greenlee: "We have 760 delegates pledged and we believe they will win in the primary. The estimate is conservative.” Leonard D. Marshall, McKinney-for-Governor Club president, refused to make claims of delegate strength. “It is foolish to make claims at this time. We’re not claiming anything. The primary and state convention will decide the nominee for Governor,” Mr. Marshall scid. Democrats close to Mr. McKinney, however, divide the 1845 delegates into “700 for Mr. McKinney and 700 for Townsend with 300 to 400 for Greenlee.” See Benefit to McKinney McKinney forces say the Townsend strength has reached its peak. They predict his strength will dwindle and that McKinney will benefit. Greenlee tacticians are spreading the same rumor with the exception that they claim Townsend defections, if they develop, will go to Greenlee. In turn, the Townsend high command counters: “Pleas has shot his bolt.” In substantiation they insist that county chairmen throughout the state are accepting Townsend delegates for organization backing in lieu of delegate slates filed by Mr. Greenlee. Greenlee Not Disturbed Mr. Greenlee, however, refuses to be disturbed, his intimates say. The former patronage secretary is claiming 75 delegates out of the 231 in Marion County. This McKinney’s lieutenants deny. “He’ll not get a delegate out of Marion County. He has made the organization sore by linking himself up with Sheriff Ray and the anti-organization group and where at one time he had a chance to gather strength in the county he now has killed all his hopes,” they say. Mr. Greenlee definitely linked himself with “anti-organization” candidates in Marion County at a meeting last week. He advocated the re-election of Sheriff Ray and supported Miss Hannah Noone, county treasurer candidate. Claim Organization Angered He i$ said to have angered the Democratic county central committee by injecting his “McHaleism” charge into the treasurer’s race with the allegation that Frank McKinney, Miss Noone’s opponent, would be "controlled” by Frank McHale. The outburst resulted in a meeting of precinct committeemen and ward chairmen in a move to defend the “organization” against the onslaught. Claims of delegate strength of both the Townsend and Greenlee groups are at variance in various counties. A typical claim is the Townsend camp’s hope of 35 delegates out of the 107 in Lake County against the 50-delegate claim of the Greenlee forces. This would leave Mr. McKinney 22 delegates, but supporters of the Indainapolis man point out that his strength is in industrial areas because of his activity in the Howe Owners Loan Corp.

WENDEL CASE SOLVED, SAYS N. Y. OFFICIAL

Prosecutor Claims Suspect Has Confessed He Aided Kidnaping. By United Press NEW YORK, April 20. —District Attorney F. X. Geoghan of Kings County sought an immediate indictment today of Martin Schlossman, 30, who is said to hava confessed participation in the kidnaping of Paul H. Wendel which furnished one of the last sensations of the Lindbergh kidnaping case. He indicated guardedly that his investigation of Wendel’s abduction was pointing toward New Jersey politicians as accomplices of the abductors. The grand jury, he said, might indict “one, two, three or more” persons today. Police activities indicated that one or two men identified as Schlossman’s accomplices were under arrest or observation in Detroit. Schlossman, a dapper young married man, signed a confession last night, Geoghan said, that confirmed in every detail Wendel’s charge. Calls Bruno Innocent' By United Press CHICAGO, April 20. Bernard Finnigan, Chicago attorney who went East on April Fool Day supposedly to uncover SSOOO of the Lindbergh ransom money, said today that ultimate solution of the kidnaping will exonerate Bruno Richard Hauptmann. Finnigan, who said he had been working with Gov. Harold Hoffman of New Jersey for the last two and a half months, believed solution was simply a matter of days or weeks. BIRTH CONTROL CALLED CAUSE OF SELFISHNESS Catholic Pastor Speaks on Church’s Viewpoint of Problem. “Birth control lowers the birth rate and is a cause of selfishness.” This was the opinion expressed last night by the Rev. John M. Cooper, Ph. D„ D. D„ of the Catholic University of America, in an address on the “Catholic Viewpoint on Birth Cntrol” at the Ciaypool. More than 600 attended the meeting. Marriage is the great school of unselfishness, the speaker said, and estimated that about 90 per cent of all charity is practiced in the family circle by parents toward each other and their children. He blamed a wretched system of distribution for poverty, not too many children, and asserted that overpopulation is not a problem.

Benjamin Wallace Douglass Repeats Criticism to Scientech Club. The Federal government’s plan to buy up barren ground in Brown County to be turned into a forest was branded as “communistic” this afternoon by Benjamin Wallace Douglass, apple bitter manufacturer of Trevlac, Ind. The Republican county chairman of Brown County in 1933, Mr. Douglass, author of “The New Deal Comes to Brown County,” addressed the Scientech Club luncheon in the Board of Trade. Going back to the beginning of the New Deal and its effect in Brown County, Mr. Douglass attacked the NRA canner*’ code for attempting to regulate the hours and wages of his employes. He charged that the provisions of the canners’ code were dictated by the American Federation of Labor. The rural resettlement program of buying up submarginal land in Brown County was termed a “forest fantasy” by Mr. Douglass. “The whole forest-buying program, he said, “is a complicated mass of contradictory ideas, of silly plans, of political intrigue, of impractical, amateurish notions. “There is not a sound idea in the whole mess. It is unsound, if for no other reason because it is a fantasy.” He attacked the wheat reduction and corn-hog program and said that Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and Rexford Tugwell, resettlement director were “violently idealistic.” Charging that New Deal policies were similar to those of Soviet Russia, Mr. Douglass said: “We have directed ourselves for a long time. I do not believe that America will cajmly give up a right that her dominant race has enjoyed for some 10 centuries.”

Cheaper to Buy Land and Move Natives, Service Club Told. Ralph F. Wilcox, Region No. 3 chief of the Project Development of the Federal Resettlement Administration, today answered criticisms of Benjamin Wallace Douglass. Brown County New Deal foe, before the Service Club in the Lincoln. Mr. Wilcox, who is in charge of Federal buying of 125,000 acres of sub-marginal land in five Middle Western states, said that Mr. Douglass’ criticism was not well founded. He said Uiat Mr. Douglass has been able to make his sub-marginal Brown County land pay only because he had funds with which to buy and plant trees to correct erosion, and had the vision to do it. That, he said, is exactly what the government is doing. But it would cost the government more, he said,' to build roads, build and maintain schools, and pay relief to present occupants of sub-marginal land than to buy the land outright. In one county—Martin—he said a survey showed that it would take a million dollars more of Federal money to rehabilitate the land than it would to buy it and turn it into Federal-owned parks and recreation centers. When purchases of sub-marginal land are completed, and the land has been treated for erosion, the hills, denuded by the lumber and farming industries, again will have trees, and the woods will once more resemble Indiana before they were recklessly wasted, he said. Resettled farmers will be able, he said, to make a living on land fit to farm and thus go off Federal relief, he said. Rotary to Hear Decorator Ralph H. Edgerton, president of Edgerton & Cos., decorators, is to speak to fellow Rotary members in the Ciaypool tomorrow noon on “The First 20 Years Are the Easiest.” Mr. Edgerton will discuss the operations of his business.

DARDEN CLUBS’. ’ REALTORS' DAY HELD AT SHOW

Florists Also Honored Today; Attendance Records Are Shattered. Members of Garden Clubs, florists and north side realtors were to be honored today at the Home Show with each group holding special luncheon at the exposition. A style show is being rponsored by L. S. Ayres & Cos. Indiana Day yesterday shattered all attendance records, with an attendance approximately 14 per cent higher than former marks. J. Frank Cantwell, managing director of the show, estimated that at least 75 per cent of the patrons were from throughout the state and the rest from Indianapolis. Tabulator Goes Blind So large was the crowd that the “electric eye” tabulator became disabled and an emergency double entrance had to be opened. One of the exhibits attracting a’ great deal of attention was the French design model home. Its air conditioning unit was placed in operation yesterday. Women particularly admired the semi-circular electric fireplace and the all-elec-tric kitchen. Mr. Cantwell said the Indianapolis show has attracted such wide attention that a New York resident, traveling East, stopped here and placed a large order for cellar waterproofing after seeing the displays. Mr. Cantwell paid tribute for the increased attendance at the show to representatives of the Federal Housing Administration. The latter have been instrumental in spurring interest in the slfow elsewhere in the state, he said.
