noon in Baltimore shaft No. , of the Dcla-

miners were imprisoned. but at a late hour
tonight fourteen had been rescued alive.
and there are still hopes of reaching the
others before the deadly afterdamp claims
them as victims.
Immediately after the disaster became
known rescue gangs descended the shaft.
but IL was some time before tn. ventilation

". The party that entered the mine at
s;15 tonight succeeded in pushing their
way 10 the plane where the imprisoned
men had been working. and there they
stumbled over the bodies of a number OF
unconscious men. As quick as The work
could be accomplished they were brought
TO the surface, where 4 corps of doctors
were in waiting Wrapped in blankets

homes and some to hospitals. The phyal-

John iiealy, one OF the rescuers who was

says the men we're huddlcd close together.

The suppostion Is that the men when they
realized their danger made their way To

found It's way to them. however. and they
were all but suffocated when found. The
theory OF the explosion now Is that there
