WILKES-BARRE REGION THROWN INTO HORROR
BY NEXT GREATEST TRAGEDY IN ITS HISTORY
By Associated Press. '
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., June s.—Seventy-eight men lost their lives in the
Baltimore No. 2 tunnel of the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company ex
plosion and fire to-day and thirty-one were injured, according to a list
given out by the company officials at noon to-day.
Forty-one bodies have been identified and thirty-seven remain unidentified. The
company's injured list is not complete and it is certain the xiumber of injured will
reach about forty.
Sparks Ignite Powder
More than 100 mine workers were riding to their work crowded into what is
known as a "trip" of mine cars, drawn by a motor. The rear car carried twelve
kegs of black powder used for blasting loose the coal in the chambers. When the
train had gone about 200 feet from the entrance the trolley wire snapped. The sparks it emitted
touched off the powder.
There was a roar and in an instant every man and boy on the train was either dead or dying.
Mangled bodies were found everywhere by the rescue crews which rushed into the mine. Fire
fighters, working frantically, soon succeeded in subduing the flames which followed the blast.
Those who had not already succumbed were so badly burned that in nearly every case death was
a matter of only a short time.
Carelessness and violation of mine laws of the State caused
most drastic provisions of the anthracite mine code is the section
men on a car or train which carries explosives. Yet the train of'
little cars conveying its freight of miners had attached to its rear
a car of a dozen kegs of powder. Investigation will be made to
disclose whether the men or the company is responsible for this
violation of the law.
The accident occurred shortly before 7 o'clock. A train of empty
cars was sent to the mouth of the tunnel to take the men into the
chambers. One hundred men piled into the cars, which was drawn
by an electric motor. Near the end of the train was a car of black
powder.
When 200 feet in the tunnel, the 9
trolley wire broke and fell. Sparks |
ignited the powder and instantly I
there was an explosion that sent the |
bodies of men flying in all direc- i
tions.
Many Burned to Crisp
Flames caused the greater loss of
life, many of the bodies being burned
to a crisp. Other men who were
burned and were trying to reach
safety died of suffocation.
When rescuers reached the tunnel,
dead and dying were scattered ev
erywhere. The injured were rapidly
removed and sent to hospitals as
quickly as-ambulances could be pro
vided, and then dead were brought
out and placed in tiers on the green.
Hospitals quickly tilled and morgues
were tilled to overflowing. .
Company employes state that theie
is a "pull" of 186,000 cubic feet of
air per minute in the tunnel and
that the air pulled in the flames from
the powder directly over the men.
Along the sie of the tunnel there is
a creek, and at the flash of the flames
some men who were walking along
the side of the trip of the cars, drop
ped into the water an dsaved their
lives.
Several employes state that it was
not the force of the explosion that
killed the men but that flames and
lack of air caused all the fatalities.
All admit that the accident was the
result of a violation of the law, but
they state that miners are accustom
ed to these violations.

Carelessness Leads to Horror
1 SURVIVOR TELLS
OF SEETHING FIRE
ABOUT MINERS
By Associated Press.
Wilkcs-Barre, June 6.—Thomas
Dougherty, a miner, one of the
survivors of the mine horror, was
thrown out of a car by the blast
and saved himself by jumping
into a ditch. He said:
"We were riding along about
fifty feet in the tunnel. There was
a blinding flash. I was thrown
from the car. I saw the water
and I hurled myself into it. Bod
ies were all about. Some were
i dead, others were dying. The
flames were terrific. They were a'l
about. We were in a veritable
hell. No man could possibly hope
to escape with his life unless he
got in the water, buried his face
and rolled over and over as C
did."
are missing. At 9.3 0 A. M. it was
said between 75 and ICI were killed
or had died of injuries.
The death list is rapidly growing.
As the bodies were removed from
the mine, living and dead, they were
piled on the green about the colliery.
Many of the injured lived but a
short time.
Children Flee in Fright
Hundreds of women, men and
children gathered about the tunnel.
As they lifted the blankets from the
bodies women fainted, men lost their
nerve and children ran away in
fright. The bodies of scores were
removed to the morgues, where the
work of identification is being car
ried on with little success.
The death list was made large by
the flames and the sulphur fumes
which filled the tunnel. The fire did
not last long, but It was long enough
to make a heavy death toll. Many
of the men were killed outright,
parts of bodies being found in the
wreckage of life and property.
Rescuers Play on Flames
Rescuers got into the mine with
hose and played streams of water
on the flames. While they were do
ing this the cries of the dying and
the injured were heard above the
roar of the flames.
To-day's catastrophe is next to the
greatest this section L the anthra
cite coal fields has seen.
Law Is Violated
To-day's accident is a direct result
of violation of the law. Permission
was given the men to ride to their
place of work and a special train
was provided for that purpose. On
these cars special seats were built
and the train was in daily use.
It is a violation of the mine law to
carry powder on a train. The law
is specific that powder and other ex
plosives must be transported alone.
There Wi.e a dozen kegs of powder
in one of the rear cars, all u which
were exploded.
Mine officials and State officials
were on the scene promptly, but
their efforts were directed solely to
the work of rescue. There were
enough men to meet all needs for
the work inside the mine, but the
chief trouble during the early hours
was in getting nurses, doctors and
supplies.

By Associated Press.
■ Austria's attitude towards the
peace terms presented her rep
resentatives at St. Germain on
Monday has not been officially
made known to the Allies. Ad
vices from Vienna, however,
carry reports of official dissatis
faction with their provisions and
a chorus of newspaper disap
probation. There are indica
tions, nevertheless that the peo
ple as a whole are somewhat
lethargic.
Completion of the Austrian treaty,
several clauses of which were miss
ing in Monday's presentation, is not
likely to occur this week, although
the Peace Conference leaders are
giving daily attention to the matter.
The missing clauses, it is stated, are
likely to be transmitted to the Aus
trian representatives by note, as they
become complete.
Seek to Help Germany
Modifications in the terms of peace
with Germany seem to be approach
ing definite form, according to ad
vices from Paris. These alterations,
it is said, are planned primarily not
to make the terms lighter for the
Germans, but to render them easier
of execution.
Apparently President Wilson, Pre
mier Lloyd George and Premier
Clemenceau are disposed to fix a
definite sum of approximately $25,-
000,000,000 as the amount of in
demnity Germany will be called upon
to pay, and It seems possible that the
first instalment of about $5,000,000,-
000 may not have to be paid for
within two years, as now stipulated,
but within four years.
league Entrance Denied
The terms relative to Silesia and
Sarra regions, too, may be altered.
There seems, however, to be a gen
eral agreement that Germany will
not be permitted to enter the League
of Nations at once. Premier Or
lando is standing aloof from these
discussions as Italy's interest is not
so much in the German as in the
Austrian treaty.
The establishment of the Rhenish
republic-by the people of the Rhine
land provinces of Germany is not
ilooked upon seriously in American
circles at the Peace Conference, it is
said. It is pointed out that no promi
nent men in the Rhineland are
I identified with the movement and
I there is some doubt as to the spon-
I taneity of tj)e demand for a repub-
I lie. Dispatches from German sources,
j declare that French authorities have
taken a prominent role in the set
ting up of the new government.
Transport Ready to Bring Wilson
President Wilson is likely to go to
Brussels next week on his long de
ferred visit to Belgium, but the spe
cific dates mentioned in Brussels dis
patches are characterized in Paris as
inaccurate. There is as yet rro inti
mation as to the date he plans to
sail for America, although his ship,
the George Washington, has been or
dered to be ready to steam for the
I United States on twelve hours' no
tice any time after midnight to
night.
Jugo-Slav forces which are invad
ing the province of Carlnthia. are
reported to be advancing, the village
of Volkermarkt, northeast of Kla
genfurt, capital of Carinjhia, having
been evacuated by the Austrian
troops defending it.
Reds Still Hold Petrograd
The reported capture of Petrograd,
which was announced early this
week in a telegram from Vardoe to
Copenhagen, seems to be without
foundation. Esthonian forces are
quite a distance west of the former
Russian capital and are being sub
jected to heavy attacks by the Bol
sheviki over a wide front.

By Associated Press.
Washington, June s.—The leak in
diplomatic channels thrdugh which
it has been charged copies of the
published peace treaty with Ger
many reached certain interests in
New York was the subject of an
other stormy debate to-dav in the
Senate.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
ranking Democrat of the Foreign
Relations committee, in calling up
his resolution for a Senate investi
gation of all facts in the case, de
clared the statements of Senators
I.odge, of Massachusetts, and Borah,
of Idaho, Republican members of
the committee, regarding the pres
ence of copies in New York, con
stituted a "monstrous charge."
Both Senators Reply
If this charge had been made in
the interests of the public, he said,
and not merely in order to attack
the treaty, the Senators making it
would have demanded Senatorial
investigation. The speech drew re
plies both from Mr. Lodge and Mr.
Borah.
A declaration by the Nebraska
Senator that Senators Lodge and
Borah had "insinuated broadly that
the President permitted copies to go
to business concerns in New York
City," brought Mr. Lodge at once
to his feet.
"I said nothing whatever about
financial interests," asserted the
Massachusetts Senator.
"It is possible," replied Mr. Hitch
cock, "that there may be some dif
ference between the positions of the
two Senators in that respect. They
concurred, however, in their attack.
