IN,
ALSDORF, Germany, Oct. 22.
Seven miners were rescued alive to-
night from the gallery of the Anna
2 mine, but there was almost no
hope for 25 others still unaccount-
ed for and believed entombed by
the explosion which yesterday at
dawn destroyed the shaft. The
death toll stood tonight at 233, not
including the 25 men still missing._
Four of the seven miners rescued
had taken refuge in a small blind
gallery and were severally injured.
One of the four died soon after-
ward from the effects of poisonous'
fumes which he had breathed.At
the 1200-foot level nine others
were found huddled together, of
whom six were dead and three in-,
jured.
The cause of the disaster remainsl
as mysterious as ever. Among ex-
perts the opinion is growing and is
shared by many survivors, that coalI
gas at least was the primary rea-
son for the explosion.

The reds swarmed into Kian Oct.i
6, ransacked the city and ruthless-
ly killed 2,000 inhabitants in one
day. Thousands of others were
slain as depradations continued.
Demand Ransom.
First news of the massacre was1
brought by Bishop Migniani, of the
Italian Lazarist mission at Kian,
who with a Chinese Lazarist priest
arrived at Kiukiang today. He had
been released by Reds to attempt to
raise $10,000,000 Mexican (about
$3,500,000 gold) as ransom for 14
missionaries held at Kian.
Bishop Migniani said he and the
Chinese priests, after being severely
beaten and p a r a d e d through
streets of Kan, had been left on
foot Oct.14 to obtain aid for theirx
fellow missionaries. These includ-
d four Italian priests, four Italian1
missionaries, one Frenchuand v
Chinese nuns held at communistl
headquarters.
,When they left,no mission build-
ings had been fired, but buckets of

patches said that immediately after
capturing the city, communists)
massacred residents and started
disastrous fires. Plains of smoke i
were seen many miles for three
days.
"So many persons were murder-
ed," said the dispatches, "that vir-r
tually a constant stream of bodies
were seen floating in the Kan river
toward Nachang. Scenes not de-
scribable were enacted."
From Pengsteh, eastern Kiangsi,
came reports that Father Von Aix,
French priest, had been murdered.1
Three thousand reds, said press dis-
patches, overwhelmed the city in a,
surprise attack.

Thousands of terrified inhabi-
tants paid large sums to shipown-
ers to take them to Anking and
Kiukiang for safety. Others were
murdered by reds, who seized two
steamers that failed to escape.
Reports, however, stated the gov-~
ernment was having difficulty en-1
forcing the few nationalist soldiers
in Kiangsi to fight the reds. Voic-
ing the slogan "soldiers don't fight
soldiers" nationalist troops permit-
ted the looting and slaughter to
go on.

Illini, is expected for the gathering.
Lawton, who is well known to
students on the campus because of
his many appearances at class
functions and pep meetings in the
past, will tell the audience of some

Col.
Arthur Woods to Direct
Unemployment Aid
Activities.
COMMITTEE, WILL HELP
(Y Associated Press )
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The re-
newed efforts of the government
to aid the nation's unemployed
took more definite form tonight as
President Hoover and the man he
has named to direct the activities,
Col. Arthur Woods, of New York,
conferred at the White House.
Colonel Woods arrived late in
the day and went directly to the
executive mansion where the pres-
ident awaited him in his office'
Later he called upon Secretary La-
mont at the latter's home.
Describing the situation as a
"race against human misery," the
new administrator said the govern-
ment "must and will win."
He asserted that the problem
would be met with all the informa-
tion and vigor that can be sum-
moned and that he and the presi-
dent's cabinet committee of seven
would try to take immediately the
steps needed to meet the situation.
He had accepted the post, in
which he will serve without pay,
only yesterday and declined to dis-
cuss particulars of the organiza-
tion to be set up until he confers
with associations tomorrow.
An organization similar to that
which he directed in 1921 at the
instance of President Harding is to
be established, Colonel Woods indi-
cated, with changes to meet new
conditions.
He said most of the work of the
government probably would lie in
the co-ordination of local activi-
ties, and that the plans would be
adapted to the varying needs of
different sections of the country.
The organizations already set up
throughout the country had made'
the task easier, he said.
Union Announces Pool
Tourney Registration
Registration for participation in
the annual all-campus billiard and
pool tournaments, sponsored by the
House committee of the Union, will
begin this afternoon in the billiard
room of the Union. Persons desir-
ing to enter may sign up any time
before noon, Saturday, Nov. 1.
Separate contests in straight rail,
and three-rail billiards and pool
I will be conducted. There is no limit
to the number of tournaments
which one person may enter. As in
I former years, the winner in each
division will be presented with a sil-
ver loving cup, while the runner-up
in each case will receive $5 in trade
'in the Union billiard room.
Pairing to determine opponents
will be made immediately upon the
closing registration on Nov. 1, there-
fore it is imperative that all pros-
pective entrants sign up by that
time.
Rooms May be Listed
for Weekend Visitors
Three new formations, spelling
l"MICH," "ILLINI," and "U of M,"
will be attempted in the cheering
section at the Illinois game Satur-
day, according to an announcement,
made by Monty Shick, 31, Varsity
cheerleader. Although highly com-
mended in the Purdue game, the
new card system will not be a suc-
cess unless certain instructions are1
observed, stated Shick.
Students in the section are asked
to read the directions printed on
the back of their tickets before en-
tering the stadium. In order to in-
sure the success of the stunts it is
imperative that every one be in his
own seat. Upon the signal from the
cheerleader and his four assistants,
the cards should be raised to a level)
with the eyes, and NOT above the
head. This fault was apparent in
the Purdue game, spoiling, in part,
the effect of the stunt. The cheery
leaders. will hold up -I rg. cards1
with' tht differeit: stunt ritnlbergy;
the cards should be immediately1
lowered as soon as the large cards1
are put down.
All students are requested to hold
their cards even though a touch-
down is made. The great expense
entailed with supplying the cards
makes it impossible to provide new
ones for each game. The student-
body can co-operate in this matter
by leaving cards on the seats as
they leave the stadium.
As was the case at the Purdue
game, the cards will be tacked to
the seats in the cheering section.
The formations which will be given
during time out periods, will have
yellow letters on a blue background.
Tickets in the sections, 22, 23, and
24 between rows 28 to 43 inclusive
will be in the cheering section,
where both men and women stu-
dents will be seated.

ALLOW STATE SHIPMENT
(I13 ahPress
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Acting
upon a plea of the Brazilian gov-
ernnlent, President Hoover today
imposed an embargo on shipments
of arms and munitions to Brazil,
the first time in American diplo-
matic history such a limitation has
been placed on . exportations of
arms to a South American repub-
lic.
The embargo was contained in a
proclamation signed by President
Hoover and countersigned and
sealed by Secretary Stimson.
It carried the proviso that ship-
ments could be made to Brazil un-
der licenses granted by the secre-
tary of state, which, in effect,
would prevent shipments to any,
Brazilians other than those repre-
senting the administration of Pres-
!dent Washington Luis, the only
government in Brazil recognized by
the United States.
Brazil's request for inposition of
the embargo was contained in a
note dated today and delivered by
Ambassador Amaral, of Brazil,
to Secretary Stimson.
Closely following, the issuance of
the embargo proclamation at the
state department, the navy depart-.
ment announced that it had again
granted private airplane manufac-
turers the right to deliver to Brazil-
ian government airplanes for which !
the navy had contracted.

PILSBRY TO TELL
OF PINCHOT TRIP
South Sea Expedition Furnishes
Topic for Lecture.
"With the Pinchot Expedition to
the South Seas" is the subject of a
lecture to be given at 4:15 o'clock
today in Natural Science auditor-
ium by Dr. Henry A. Pilsbry, who
has been curator of mollusks in
the Academy of Natural Sciences
at Philadelphia for more than 40
years. The lecture will be illustrat-
ed with motion pictures and lant-
ern slides.
Dr. Pilsbry shares with Dr. Bry-
ant Walker of the museum of zoo-
logy the positioh of leading author-
ity on mollusks. He has traveled
widely, collecting and observing
shells in their natural environ-
ments in many out of the way cor-
ners of the world. His published
works include many large books
and hundreds of shorter papers,
besides extensive contributions to
the journals of the world's mol-
lusk societies.
In 1929 Dr. Pilsbry accompanied
the Gifford Pinchot expedition,
which traveled about the south
seas in a private yacht. The exped-
ition visited many places little
known biologically which are of
critical interest in faunal studies.
The collections of specimens re-
sulting from the travels were large
and of great scientific value and
interest. Dr. Pilsbry will describe
the work of the expedition in his
talk.
The lecture,; which is to be of
general interest, is open to the
