TWELVE MEN ENTOMbED
 AND ARE PROBABLY DEAD
Dry Coal Dust Ignlted From Gas Ex- plosion and Result Was Awful. Sheets of Flame Shot Out of
 Entrance, Wrecking Sheds.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 31.-At i:15 o'clock this afternoon an explo- sion of gas in the Nelson mine of the Dayton Coal and Iron Company, at Dayton, Tenn, ignited the dry coal dust in the mine and caused terrific explosion. Twenty-two men are known to be dead. Ten bodies have been recovered. Twelve bodies are still in the mine.

 Safety Lamps Necessary. Gas exists in the Nelson mine and the men are required to use safety lamps. It is the rules of the company for the miners to place their fuses ready to be lighted for blasts just before quitting work each day and there are workmen known as "firemen' who go through the mine after all the miners are out and set off these blasts The miners quit work at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. It takes them about 45 minutes to get out of the mine
 The two "firemen'' today who are sup posed to have caused the explosion are
  the blasts about 4:45 o'clock before all the miners could get out of the mine. It is supposed that one of the fuses was de- fective and resulted in what is known as a blown blast" The ,ne shooting out from the blast ignited the gas, which in turn ignited the accumulation of dry coal dust in the mine. The explosion that fol- lowed was horrible in intensity. The flames shot out of the mouth of the mine and completely wrecked the shed at the mine entrance. Three men who were standing just out of the mine were killed.
 Two Previous Explosions. This mine has been the scene of two serious explosions in the past. In 1889 four men were killed and eight seriously in- jured by an explosion of gas. December 20, 1895, an explosion of mine dust oc- cured in which twenty-eight lives were lost. This was caused by a miner carry ing an open lamp contrary to regula- tions
 In May, 1901, an explosion of a similar nature occurred in the Shalliday mine, operated by the same company, in which twenty-one lives were lost.
 The force of the explosion in the Nelson mine today was terrible. Bodies were lit orally mangled and torn to pieces. The company states that there were but seventy-five men at work in the mine to- day Most of them were out of the mine when the explosion occurred.

Around the tree OF life.

They leave us but to come again.

Death leaves our hearts all desolste,
He plucks our sweetest flowers,
Transferred to realms of bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.

FREEZE OUT DREYFUss
PLAN OF NATIONAL MAGNATEs
Pittsburg Baseball Man Has become
Unpopular Because of His
Sportsmnnlil<e Spirit.

Philadelphia, July 26-There is every
reason to believe there is movement
on foot to squeeze Barney Dreyfuss of the
Ptttsburg club out OF the National league
The disciplining OF. Conroy and the recent
suspension of Wagner are but the pre-
liminary moves in the game which has for
It's ultimate object the retirement of the
one man in the National league who pos
sesses the spirit of true sportsmanship.
/ One National league representative who
has, been in this city off and on during the
LAST two weeks in quest of players, un-
bosomed himself rather freely on Drey
fuss. He said:
Dreyfuss' structures on the men who en-
gineered the Baltimore coup were to say the
least, In bad form, and he will have plenty
of time to regret them AS loyal member
of the National league it was his duty to
icheerfully acquesce in whatever was done
to embarrass the American league. Both the
Brooklyn and the Philadelphia clubs felt the
screws, and Dreyfuss will feel them before
he is much older. He has been entirely too
friendly In his intercourse with American
league people to suit some of us. There
are other men In Pittsburg-men who have
had experience in baseball-who would only
be too glad to accept the Pittsburg franchise
in the National league. All this talk about
the players being welded to Dreyfuss Is pure
bosh. All they want is the assurance that
they will get their salaries. go
