SIXTEEN BODIES COLLECTED


But None so Far Brought to the Surface
Speculation on the Cause.
At this writing there are probably
fifteen or sixteen bodies at the bottom
of the shaft, but the rescuers ere still
fighting the ice and it will probably
be several hours before any of the
dead are brought to the surface. 1t is
considered certain that every man in
the mine at the time of the explosion,
except one, was killed, in number 1S4.
Contributions to aid the families Of the
entombed miners are already coming
in. There are more than 100 widows
and probably 4OO. or 500 orphans.
Many theories as to the cause of the
explosion are being advanced. One rs
that the recent high water had some
thing to do with it. Mining experts
do not regard this as probable. Men
who know the Harwick mine say that
gas in dangerous quantity has been
In it ever since it was opened, and this
.... was recognized by the men in
charge Of it. Hence they say that the
cause of the explosion is that probably
a careless miner exposed naked flame
to the gas and that naked fame may
have been from lamp or match.
r. w. Cunningham, the mine in
spector of the Fourteenth district, in
which the Harwick mine is located,
when seen said: From what 1 can
determine now, the explosion occurred

Pittsburg, Jan. 26.-From all tfat
can be gathered at this hour between
$50 and 100 men are lying dead in the
headings and passa geways of the Har-
wick mine of the Allegheny Coal CON-
pany at Cheswick, the result of ter
rife explosion. Cage after cage has
gone down into the mine and come up
again. but only one miner of all those
that went down to work has been
brought to the surface. The rescued
man is Adolph Gunia. and he is still
in a semi-conscious condition at the
temporary hospital in the rude school
house ON the hillside above the mine.
All In the Mine Are Dead.
In addition to the miners who were
at work when the explosion occurred

of the men of the rescue party who
have come up the 22O-foot vertical

the mine all are probably dead
Blew a Mule from the Mfne-
The explosion occurred at $40 q.
m, and the first warning was the sud-
den rumble underground, and then a
sheet of flame followed up the deep
shaft- Both mine cages were hurled
through the tipple. twenty feet above
the landing stage, and the three men
on the tipple were thrown to the
ground. A mule was thrown high
above the shaft, and fell dead on the
ground. The injured men were brought
at once to this city, where two of
them, Henry Mayhem, check weigh
nan. and George Waltman, tippleman,
have since died.

ALL MEANS OF RESCUE WRECKED


Mining Engineer Loses His Life in the
First Rescue Party.
AS soon as the rumble of the ex-
plosiOn and crash at the pit mouth
startled the little village the wives
and children of the men below rushed
to the scene of the disaster, but to
gain no encouragement. There was
no way to get into the deep workings.
The cages that let the men into the
mines and brought them out again
when the days work was done were
both demolished. All day long there
was Jam of waiting women and
children about the mouth Of the pit.
1t was not until 4 p. m. that the first
attempt at rescue was made. This
was a failure, as the two men who
volunteered were driven back by the
foul air.
Shortly after 8 p. m. Mining En-
gineer Selwyn M. Taylor and one Of
his assistants signalled for the engin-
eer to lower them into the shaft. Tay-
lor is still down there. Three times
efforts have been made to reach him,
hut SO far without avail. Thomas
Wood, one of the first of the rescue
party hauled to the surface, told his
story OF his trip through the mine.
He said:
Il was with Taylor. and we clam
bered over three or four falls. Taylor
laid out the mine and seemed to know
the way. There was one man alive
at the foot Of the shaft. He was sent
up. and then we took the mule path
into the south level. We saw two
men who were alive and notified those
back Of us and then went on. We
passed the third, fourth ana fifth head
ing, and then through an oyerdrift
into the air shaft. / began to feel
dizzy and sick, and then I saw Taylor
stagger and fall. His lantern fell. We
tried to lift him up, but could not car
ry him up, and l made my own way
to safety

CoI.OMB1ANs ADDRESS GoRNIAN
Democratic Senator Praised-Bogota
LEGISLATORS Defend Their Actions,


Bogota. Jan. 8.-Senators Caro-, We
lez, QuinterO, Marroquin and fifteen
other senators have addressed the fol-
lowing dispatch to Senator German:
The undersigned Colombian senators
heartily congratulate you and those who
support you in defending the ideas of JUS
tice and the respect for rights proclaimed
by General Washington and sustained by
all your great statesmen.
The Colombian senate disapproved the
Hay-Herran canal treaty because it i'm
paired our national jurisdiction and was
contrary to our laws.
The secession of Panama did not take
place as the result of a generous impulse,
but thru the treacherous plan of bribing
the public forces and it simply subsists
by the Intervention of President Roosevelt,
who. occupying the adjacent seas with a
powerful navy, impedes Colombia's access
to an integral part Of Its territory.
If this deed were to be consummated
Colombia would lose materially, but the
United States would lose her moral great
ness. 49,
We still confide in the dignity Of that
honest school which cherishes and con-
serves the spirit of the founders Of liberty
in the new world against the false right OF
conquest which is to-day yelled under the
name of Imperialism.

Continued from First Page.

IT
s5SsI IF such a regulation can be legally
enforced, the. DINNERS of local theaters
will be compelled to spend considera-
BILE money. Nevertheless this is the
unanimous recommendation of the
committee, consisting of fire officials,
building officials, an architect and
hardheaded business men who have
made a special study Of theaters and
particularly to the causes that led to
the loss of life at the Iroquois theater.
The report will, of course, recon-
mend asbestos curtains and fire proof
doors for all fire walls, adequate fire
extinguishing apparatus such as hose
reels connecting with the water sys-
tenn, portable extinguishers, pals of
water at convenient points, fire
escapes, and additional exits at certain
theaters and skylights which may be
hand1ly opened from the stage or some
convenient part of the house, fire drills
by the help, etc.
The committee was reinforced to-
day by the appearance Of r. w. Mum
ger, who was unable to make the tour
of inspection with the committee, but
who made a study of theater require
