Pausing only for a few gulps of cof- fee, the crew members gathered about 2 chart of the underground chambers and spent three hours checking and rechecking to determine which of the entries had been explored. Then, in- tent on reaching remote chambers un- penetrated since the explosion, they descended again into the shaft. Their first duty was to locate and determine the extent of the fire sus- pected to exist in the portion of the mine to which the five missing men might have gone after the explosion.

Briand, by the Amer- fcan, British, German and French Ministers. The Nobel prizes, which, in addi- tion to work for the preservation of peace, also are awarded' for achievements in literature, ph chemistry, medicine and physiology, grew out of the munificence of th Swedish scientist, Alfred Nobel, in- ventor of dynamite, who died Decem- ber 10, 1896, leaving a fortune of some $8.750,000. The first awards, each of a value of about $37,500, were distributed on the fifth wnniversary of Nobel's death, December 10, 1901. Three times previously the Nobel peace award has come to the United ates. The recipients were Theodore Roosevelt, for his efforts in ending the Russo-Japanese War: Mr. Root, for distinguished services in behalf of peace, and Woodrow Wilson, for his efforts to bring to an end the World War. e ROOT GETS WILSON PRIZE. Award Made for Work in Behalf of World Court. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 10.—Elihu Root, noted American statesman and lawyer, has heen awarded the Wood- row Wilson Foundation peace prize for 1926. K The Woodrow Wilson honor has been accorded to Mr. Root because of his efforts toward founding the World Court of International Justice. If Mr. Dawes has been honored with the Nobel prize by the Norwegian Storth- ing, it will be for his activities as head of the international commission ‘hich, after laborious efforts, framed thes famous “Dawes plan.” Under this plan Germany was able to put her financial house in order and to begin making_ progressive reparation payments to the allied and associated powers for claims growing out of the World War. One Other Wilson Award. Only one previous peace award has been made by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation prior to that to Mr. Root. The other was to Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, Great Britain's chief representative on the League of Nations. It was given in 1924 for meritorious service to peace through justice, Viscount Cecil long has been known as a strong advocate of peace and a reduction in world armaments. ‘Announcement of the award of the Wilson Foundation prize to Mr. Root was made by Norman H. Davis, presi- dent of the foundation. The presenta- ton of the award and of a medal to commemorate the distinguished honor will be made to Mr. Root on the sev- entieth anniversary of Woodrow Wil- son’s birth, December 28. The func- tion will take place at a dinner at the Hotel Astor in New York City, In his announcement Mr. Davis s that the importance of Mr. Root's services were made manifest during the past few years “by the growing prestige of the World Court and fts success in preserving peace through the settlement of international ques- tions of a justiclable character.” Root’s Record Recalled. Mr. Davis cited that as Secretary of State of the United States Mr. Root formulated instructions to the Ameri- can delegates to the second confer- ence at The Hague in 1907, the object of which was to supersede The Hague tribunal by a genuine international Court. Difficulties in the nature of deciding how the judges of the court should be chosen caused a failure of this conference and it was not until Mr. Root solved the diffi- Peace The American statesman recom- mended that the nominations be made from among the different groups of na- tionals vepresented The Hague tribunal and sent to an electoral col- lege composed of members of the counell and assembly of the League of Nations, where both great and small nations were adequately repre- sented.

NEW YORK, December 10. — Re- ports of a prospective cash settlement, ranging from a half to a million dol- lars, were in circulation today after the sudden adjournment of the separa- tion suit of Count Ludwlg Salm Hoog- straeten against his wife, the former Millicent Rogers, Standard Qil eiress. i Officia] confirmation was lacking and Herman Goodstein, counsel for the count, denied that any settlement had _been made. “I kpow nothing of such an offe he said. “I Know nothing of any pro- posal to settle the suit out of court. I deny that any monetary offer of settlement has been made to either Count Salm or myself.” Report Called Authoritative. Nevertheless, New York newspapers said they had authoritative informa- tion tht when the case again is called | on January 17 announcement would be made that a settlement had been reached out of court. One report was that Col. H. H. Rogers, in making the settlement, in- sists that Count Salm relinquish all claim to his 2-year-old son, Peter, and that he leave the country, never to return. Members of the Rogers family could not be reached and Albert C. Con- way, counsel for the countess, de- clared he had nothing to say. Count Salm was smiling at the of- fices of his attorney a few hours after court had adjourned. Asked whether a settlement had been waved his hands and disappeared into an inner room. Col. Rogers’ reported offer of settle- ! ment i{s sald to have resulted from his annoyance at the publicity result- ing from the trial and the reading in court of his daughter's letters to her mother-in-law. Counsel Asks For Time. Mr. Goodstein, in asking Supreme Court Justice Levy for an adjourn- ment, stated he needed time to gathe witnesses to testify to the count’ “responsibility, both moral and (in:\lh‘ cial.” Goodstein complained of a letter of Conway’s which he said Justice Levy had forwarded to the State Depart- ment. The letter asked if the count had applied at the office of the Ameri- can consul either in Berlin or Vienn: for permission to come to this coun- try under the quota provisions of the immigration law. Goodstein con- tended he had not been notitied of Lhfltprocedure before the letter was sent. MARCONI ANNULMENT WILL BE KEPT SECRET!

SPIRITUALISTS URGED TO STUDY OF DEATH Author Would Inquire Into Its Re- Iation to Survival as Phase of Psychics. | By the Associated Press. WORCESTER, Mass., December 10. —A study of death ftself in relation to survival as a phase of psychic re- search long neglected was urged last S Austin before the Clark University Symposium on' Spir- itualism. The paper by Mrs. Austin, author of several novels and plays, Iaid chiefly in the Southwest, was read by Prof. Carl Murchison, chairman of the symposium. From her long experience with ani- mals and persons who deal with them Mrs. Austin felt the investigation should begin with the “death customs of the younger brothers of mankind.” She pointed to the grief of animals over the death of a mate or master, their killings, other than for food, and their actions in peril as linking them to the “Dawn Man” and indicating a psychic side of their nature. Mrs. Austin dwelt on death legends of the American Indians and said that the fear of death among primitive peo- ple diminishes the farther back one studies. “It would be interesting to have all this material set in order with a view to realizing how far the idea of death, as involving discontinuance, is in- inctive to man, or to' what extent a rationalization of later observ- attending to her duties as A member of.the Swedish Riksdag, HMiss Elizabeth Tamm of Stockholm time to personally supervise her cre estate.
