NEW YORK, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1926 those fortunate enough to obtain tickets of admission were again waiting for her. walked up the aisle of the Aldermanic Chamber amid a wild burst of cheers. She was hot from the ride, her bobbed hair somewhat disheveled, and she looked much like a little girl as she went up on the platform.

There she shook hands with Grover Whalen, the chairman of the welcoming committee, who referred to her as "this precious treasure." has been my privilege to receive 1 most the distinguished personages who have visited these shores in the past half dozen he said, "but our reception of Miss Ederle today is a greater event than any other of the kind in the history of York." Then Mayor Walker spoke: "New York City," he said, "welcomes you in its entirety. I have been Mayor only, for the last six months, and haven't done as much welcoming as has Mr. Whalen. When I was elected I received quite a respectable plurality of the voters, but I am willing to admit, Trudy, that yours is the biggest plurality that has ever been given any one in the city of New York." He spoke of Moses crossing the Red Sea, of Caesar crossing the Rubicon, of Washington crossing the Delaware. "But your crossing of the English Channel takes, I think," he said, "a perhaps higher than any of these." Just a New York Girl.

Mr. Walker said something about the duty of the Mayor to kiss a distinguished visitor on such an occasion. but, he aded, won't insist. unlessGertrude, also, did not insist. "The whole world." went on the Mayor, "has its eyes on you, is paying you homage.

You are, after just a New York girl, and an Amsterdam ave. girl, and that means more than anything else. "I don't know much about that dispute as to whether the tugboats helped you make the swim. But I do know that the old Channel is still there, and there are a lot of tugs be hired by any one who wants to try doing what you were the first to do. "Personlly," concluded the Mayor, "I'll be the last to make such an attempt, though they might offer me all the in the world." Presents Gold Medal.

He then presented Gertrude with a gold medal, the gift of her admirers. The Mayor had some difficulty in undoing the clasp, and he struggled with it the girlish heroine laughed aloud. Finally it was opened and the medal was properly pinned to her dress. It was her turn to answer. She stood for a moment on the platform, while the room hushed into a silence waiting for her.

Somehow, the job in front of her seemed bigger than the swimming of a dozen channels. She hesitated like a schoolgirl at a Friday afternoon recitation. "Swam It for Flag." "Well. my dear friends." she said, "I thank you for this most wonderful welcome. I don't think I canthat is, in words, I--well, I don't think I can express my feelings.

I am certainly proud for my country. For, you know. I really swam the channel for the flag." And then, having finally said what seemed to her the proper and patrootic thing, she concluded: "That's about all I can find words to say--I'm so thrilled." The band struck up "America." the crowd milled around, shaking hands or trying to shake hands, and uotside the thousands waited hopefully for another sight of this girl in the parade who was to go uptown to where the home folks of Amsterdam ave. were to welcome her Major Roberts to Quit As State Dry Chief Albany, N.

27 (AP)-The explosion which occurred at the Clymer mines of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation yesterday crushed out the lives of 44 men. With 41 bodies recovered from the blasted workings today, mine officials expressed the belief that 3 others unaccounted for were dead in the debris-swept ruins. Nine bodies recovered today were removed to the temporary morgue in a machine shop one mile from the scene of the blast, where they were placed beside those of 32 fellow workers taken out previously, The condition of the last nine led the rescuers to believe that these of the explosion, for the remains men were trapped ad in the very midst were in such condition that identification was practically impossible. Ten Escaped. Figures given out today by A.

J. Nusser, vice president and general manager of the corporation, a subsidiary of the New York Central Railroad, and Dr. Fred St. Clair. Coroner of Indian County, revealed that 58 miners were trapped by the explosion, which occurred at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Ten escaped with their lives and four others are in a Dixonville hospital, suffering from gas and shock. Late last night many of the wives and children of the entombed men left the mine mouth after a vigil in the rain of ten hours. corps of Salvation Army lassies labored all night, without sleep, preparing the bodies 80 that the villagers might identify them.

As they were carried out on mine cars the great throng of men, women and children, many related to the victims, rushed from the temporary morgue, in the hope of learning the fate of some loved one. But mine officials hesitated to admit them. Marion Putts, village storekeeper, who knew all the Clymer workmen, was taken into the death house. Sad-faced he and with tea eyes, passed slowly up and down the line, and before he departed he had established the identity of 26 of his friends. Rescuers said they believed the three missing miners were buried under a heavy cave-in.

and they thought several might elapse before the bodies could be dug out. Investigations Start. As the mine yielded up its dead, investigators went to work hoping to determine the cause of the disastrous blast. J. J.

Forbes directed the investigation for the United States Bureau of Mines. Joseph J. Walsh, secretary the Pennsylvania Department of Mines, with his inspectors, as well as county officials and representatives of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation, of mine, launched their probes, all the agencies co-operating.

LOCKWOOD. Gertrude Ederle, accused by English newspapers of having been materially aided by the suction from moving tugs in her conquest of the English Channel, declared yesterday in an interview in the cabin of the Macom, which brought her from the steamship to the Battery, that before she left Europe she confronted the English newspaper writer in Calais who was her chief detractor and, after thrashing the matter out, he apologized for the stories. Miss Ederle said that the writer withdrew his charges after a long talk, in which she finally convinced him that there had been no aid. Flinging her head in her peculiar, disdainful manner when askeed it the tugs aided her, she exclaimed excitedly, "Aided me? When those two tugs came almost together on either side of me, they made the water SO rought that I was practically sunk, and unable to swim. had to stop and wave to theose abord the newspaper tug, which was not part of my party, to withdraw.

As for the one tug, the Alsace, I was entitled to that because no swimmer had ever crossed the channel in recent years without a tug." "Would you take another chance at the Channel?" Trudy was asked. "Oh, never, never again," she first said, but an instant later she broke out: "If anyone ever breaks my record of 14 hours 36 minutes, I shall certainly better it. That's the only way I'll ever try it again." Louis Corthes, skipper of Capt. the accompanying tug Alsace, was praised as A real hero of the expedition by Mrs. Margaret Deuschle, Trudy's sister, who was her constant companion and who swam part of the Channel with her.

CHIROPRACTORS ASK INJUNCTION ON MEDICAL BILL Organization, Which Also Includes Naturopaths, Sees Plot to Kill Work. Charges of a plot to "destroy" the professions of chiropractors and naturopaths, healers by manipulation of the spine and healers, by "harmony of nature," are contained in a suit filed in the Manhattan Federal Court for an injunction to restrain Police Commissioner George V. McLaughlin and Health Commissioner Louis I. Harris from enforeing the Webb Loomis and medical practice bills adopted at the last session of the Albany Legislature.

The action was brought by the Chiropractic Naturopathic Protective Association, incorporated 10 business in New York, through Arizona, and a having its chief place its attorneys, R. E. Maxey and Morris Kaplan. Molestation Claims. According to the complaint, members of the association have been r'Cpeatedly molested in their occupation and arrested for practicing medicine without a license.

The arrests come "only when the Public Health Commissions and the medical associations are trying to secure the passage of a law" with the purpose of obtaining "control of the public in the matter of health and disease." Such a drive, says the complaint, was made early this year when the Webb Loomis bill and the Lattin bill were under consideration by the legislators at Albany. Policewomen on instructions from McLaughlin and Harris visited the chiropractors and naturopaths, making about 150 visits to each. They complained of imaginary ailments and gave fictitious symptoms, and then caused the arrest of about 50 from each profession. Discrimination was shown, the complaint charges, in that only those "less financially able" were visited, while the leaders in the two felds were not molested. Finally Discharged.

Those arrested were arraigned before a magistrate and held for the Court of Special Sessions. Then, after the two medical bills had been passed, they were discharged on motion of the District Attorney. All this was done, the complaint maintains, to prejudice the public against chiropractic and naturopathy and "destroy" these modes of healing. The same effect would be brought about, it declares, by the enforcement of the Webb, Loomis and Lattin bills, which require chiropractic practitioners and naturopaths to be licensed by a board of medical examiners, "and medical physicians are so prejudiced against the chiropractic practitioners and the naturopaths that such a board of examiners would not grant them a license to practice no matter how qualified they might be." Unless the Federal Court grants the injunction, the plaintiffs assert, "this wonderful and most beneficial scientific treatment of human ailments may fall in the State of New York, never to rise again." No answers have yet been filed by the defendants. SPORTSMAN BURNED; YACHT SINKS IN BAY Gasoline Tank Explodes on Ludlow Kramer's Boat.

An old liquor possession indictment was today dismissed against Ralph A. Day, former State Prohibition director and now an official of the Onyx Hosiery Company of 1107 Broadway, upon recommendation of United States Attorney Emory R.

Buckner. The indictment was opened about two months ago 'after remaining sealed with the clerk of the court since it was found in December, 1922. It charged specifically the possession of 25 cases of whisky. Day's administration of the Prohibition forces, which lasted from November, 1921, to November, 1922, was investigated by the Federal Grand Jury, No indictment was returned but; according to the more recent indictment, a letter was sent to Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon suggesting that he be removed from office.

In the following December the indictment just dismissed was found, charging that Day had the 25 cases of liquor delivered to the offices of R. A. Day Co. and that he subsequently disposed of it illegally. Conviction Not Likely.

Mr. Buckner said today the evidence under this indictment was apparently insufficient to secure a viction. Most of the witnesses who appeared before the Grand Jury at the time of the indictment have recently been interviewed by Mr. Buckner, the latter said, and are unable to furnish testimony that would be of any assistance in securing a conviction. Business controversies which have arisen between Day and his former associates, Mr.

Buckner said, have further tended to make testiof witnesses of little value. mony Truck Driver Caught After Baby Is Run Down Following a chase of three blocks John Alisi, 1460 59th chauffeur, and Angelo Gambiani, 600 Court owner, were arrested this afternoon after the truck in which they were riding had struck a baby carriage in which was the baby of Mrs. Olive Green of 314 13th who was wheeling the rig.

SENATE Leaders Fear Insurgent's Candidacy May Cost Party Narrow Margin. Eagle Bureau, Insull. Coolidge Will Not Intercede. 901 Colorado Building. By JOHN BILLINGS Jr.

Washington, Aug. 27-One man's stubborn desire to sit in the United States Senate has set the national Republican leaders by the ears. These portly gentlemen who control the destinies of the G. O. P.

are vastly more agitated about the political situation in Illinois and the besmirched candidacy of Frank L. Smith for the Senate than they would dare revealpublicly. They are ready to offer- of course--almost any sort of prize to a person imaginative enough to think up a way of prying Mr. Smith loose from his nomination without the actual use of dynamite. The Vare business in Pennsylvania is bad Frank L.

Smith. enough, but their concern there great for the reason that no what happens inalter a Republican from that State will sit in the Senate. But Illinois to them offers a much more troublesome mess, as it involves the very real risk of losing the State to a Democrat. Worked Six Years for Nomination, The truth of the matter is that Smith has an inordinate desire to be a Senator. Six years ago McKinley defeated him in the Republican primaries.

Every day since he has been working toward a fixed goal--to be nominated and elected a Senator. He has built up his own political machine for this purpose. He bored mightily in his own behalf, with the result that he won nomination this year. Having almost achieved his life's ambition, he is not the kind of person to cast it all aside on such ethical grounds as campaign contributions from Samuel Knowing Smith, the Republican leaders here have abandoned their hope that he might induced to withdraw from the election in order that the State Republican Committee could pick another Senate candidate not so spotty with dollar signs. These leaders for a time imagined that President Coolidge might In some subtle way intercede "for the best interests of the party," but the President, it is now believed, will not take any such action, regardless of his private beliefs concerning the Smith candidacy.

There are three things about the Illinois situation which set up a long string of evil possibilities in the minds of Republican leaders here: Fear Brennan May Win. In the first place the acceptance by Smith of large sums of money for campaign purposes from Samuel Insull, public utilities magnate, leaves the way open for George Brennan, Democratic candidate for the Senate, to win the November election. The Republican control of the next Senate will be scant enough as it is and the loss of Illinois to the Democrats may be just sufficient to swing the G. 0. P.

out of power. If Smith would retire gracefully now, it is argued at headquarters here, a new Inan could be put in his place and Brennan could unquestionably be beaten. National Campaign Threatened. Then there is the inopportune time nt which would come the ousting proceedings in the Senate in case did squeeze through to the portals of the Capitol chamber. Smith and Vare would present themselves for admission to the Senate in December, 1927.

Their cases would be debated at length and the question of excluding them would drag along for a couple of months at least. The whole mess would be aired just when the country was voting on delegates to the national convention. It would culminate just hefore A Presidential election and would inevitably rebound to the dettriment of the party during the campaign. The exclusion of Republicans from the Senate by virtually buying nominations is not a pretty spectacle nt any time, but Just before a national campaign It becomes a hideous thing indeed, in the minds of the G. 0.

it is being figured here, would probably name Fred Lundin, boss of the old ThompsonLundin machine and a leader of Chicago misrule. That Itself would ereate another stinking scandal, the fires of which the national leaders here would have more trouble in quenching. Added to this list of Republican worries growing out of the Smith candidacy, gentlemen at headquarters are finding that the fund Issue, developed in Illinois and Pennsylvania, is slopping over dangerously into other States and beaevfled Republican candidates for the House and Senate are, sending In heartbreaking entreaties to the National Committee to know just how they should meet such attacks. The Congressional committees are doing their best to rig up suitable answers to be used on the stump. They are advising their henchmen to use the "tu quoque" argument on the Democrata, to declare loudly that where have Republicans corrupted primaries and elections as viciously as have the Democrats in the solid Southern States.

WIll Wood, Indiana Congressman and chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, sounded this cry from Paul Smiths this week when he contended that the Democratic States of the South "are doing more Interference in elections than all the spent in Northern States put together." of course there is a good deal of talk here about running an Inde. pendent Republican candidate against Smith and Brennan in 1111- nois. All the big Chicago newspapers, together with the "better element" of the citizenry, would probably support such a candidate, but at the same time it would tend to split the Republican vote and give Brennan a better chance to squeeze in. morning the prow the Macom nounced and water." result.
