a MANY MINERS KILLED Twenty-five or Thirty Dead In Explo- sion Near Elkins, W. Va. Elkins, W. Va., Feb. 5.—The third mine explosion in West Virginia with- in two weeks occurred at the Davis Coal & Coke company’s mine No. 25, at Thomas, near here, and 25 or 80 miners are said to have been killed. The bodies of six foreigners and one American were recovered at a dis- tance of 100 feet from the shaft. Be- fore further progress could be made a deadly wave of poisonous fumes en- veloped the rescuing party, which was composed of General Manager Ott, D. M. Boyd, Superintendent Henry Mine, Daniel Jones, the imne boss; Arthur Steward and John Jenkins. Before the rescuing party could reach the surface Jones, the mine boss, died from the suffocation. Efforts are being made to enter the mine again, but without success. The air fans were demolished by the explo- sion and the mine is full of dangerous after damp. There is no possible hope that the men still in the mine are alive. While the exact number of entombed men is not known at this time, the number is estimated at about 30, and it is thoughlit possible that there might be more. DON'T OPPOSE NATIONAL GUARD Military Organizations In Coal Re’ gions Protest Against Charges. Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Feb. 4. — The Catholic Total Abstinence Union Regi- ment and the Junior O. U. A. M., two strong military organizations in the anthracite region, held meetings in this city to take action relative to the re- port made by Captain Henry H. Whit- ney, of the Coast Artillery, to the gov- ernment. Captain Whitney is one of the regu lar army inspectors, who was sent into Pennsylvania to inspect the national guard, in which he is reported to have quoted in his report that independent military companies are secretly armed and drilled and whose purpose it is to oppose the national guard in case of strikes and other labor troubles. These two organizations possess the strongest military regiments in this state, and they took occasion to show their disapproval of the statement made by the inspector. They passed resolutions showing their friendly po- sition toward the Pennsylvania and all other national guards, for the good work they have accomplished. They dispatched copies of the same to Sec- retary Taft, of the war department, WILL AUDIT CAPITOL ACCOUNTS New York Company to Assist Pennsyl vania Probers.
