BLUEFIELD. W. VA, September Is
(SpeciaL)-Seyenteen men are entombeo
in the ,Algoma mine. and their awful fate
was caused by an explosion which occur
red to-day. The scene OF the explosion

tain. Saturday the only safety lamp was
left in the part OF the mine which was
considered dangerous. When the men

the unfortunates in the mine Is said to
be Glenn Jones. OF Richmond. Va. Great
fear is expressed for the salty Of the en-

WASHINGTON, D. c., September TO-
Especial. )-Anent the statement in Sun
day papers with reference to Professor q,
w. Miles. who has resigned from the
Board Of Visitors of the University OF
Virginia and who has been succeeded by
Mr.. H. c.. Stuart. the Dispatch cores
pendent has obtained the following from
Judge James B. Sener, the president OF
the General Alumni Association of the
University of Virginia:
Il think 1t proper, s president OF the
General Association Of the University OF
Virginia Alumni that l should say that
statement that Professor Miles is to be
associated in the near future in any Of
fetal way with the University, since he
has severed his connection with that In
Stitution as q visitor. certainly not as
chairman of the faculty. Because,

of the professors of that institution, and

has resigned, must be from among the

the State the Board of Visitors would
be compelled to advertise for applicants
to fill it.
the professors, no Board of Visitors, I'M
less it desired to mar the prosperity OF
that institution, would elect new pro.
fessor and at the same time make bin
chairman Of the faculty over the heads
of the old professors, who know the
University, it's needs. and requirements
and Of the sixteen chairmen of the ia
Guilty. from Henry ST. George Tucker &c
Paul B. Barringer, only one man ever
became professor and at the same time
chairman Of the faculty. That one was
Henry st. George Tucker In 1925, when
the University was first opened.
MOVE FOR A PRESIDENT.
The real significance OF the connec-
ton in print Of the name Of Mr.. George
w Miles is probably the renewal Of a
thoroughly discredited effort to place q
president at the head of the Univerei-
ty Two efforts in this direction have
proved abortive. In Mr.. Jeirerson's day
William Writ was made Professor Of
Law and president Of the University
Mr.. Jefferson approved of Wirt's selec:
ton to the law school. but put on record
his protest against University presi.
dent This he did at the last meeting Of
the visitors which he ever attended. VIII
liam Writ never accepted either position
and the effort fell through at that time
Some six or seven years ago Well-or'
ganized effort was made to have q Uni

discussion through the press OF the State
