MANY KILLED IN
NINE DISASTER
Terrific Explosion in Joe Letters
Colliery at Ziegler, IL
THIRTY-SEVEN BODIES FOUND

Carbondale. Ill. April 5. - Thirty
seven bodies OF miners who lost their
Ices in the gas explosion at the mine
of Joseph Letter at zeigler have been
recovered. and it is supposed several
more bodies are In the mine. The ex-
act number of dead will probably not
be known for several days, at least
not until the mine has been divested
OF the gas and persons are peralitted
10 enter. After SO hours but little
light is shed on the cause of the ca
tastrophe. The accident is attributed
10 carbonic acid gas, due TO poor ven
tilation. Every body so far recovered
is a blackened mass. State Inspector
Atkinson. who was killed, was one OF
the best-known miners of the district.
He was the father OF four children
and was a member OF the Masonic fra
ternity.
When between S5 and as miners
had descended into the mine TO re-
sumo work, a horrihc explosion blew
the mouth OF the mine high into the
air. One Of the steel cages was blown
TO the surface from the bottom OF a
5o0-foot shaft. The shock OF the ex-
plosion was felt at Benton, II miles
northeast OF Ziegler. A teamster driv-
ing along a road half a mile from the
minS was covered with falling cinders,
Enc debris covered the Goor 81 HE
wagon half an inch deep.
One miner was killed and four were
severely injured at the mouth OF the
shaft in which the explosion occurred.
The work OF rescue was begun at once
by miners who were arriving when
the explosion took place But the main
shaft was demolished, SO that rescue
work has TO be carried on through the
air shaft.
4 committee OF union miners from
DuQuerne and other neighboring min
Ing towns, headed by District Presl-
dent Morris. fastened to Ziegier socn
after the explosion occurred and o.-
fered their aid.
The bodies OF the dead are so black
ened that they cannot az once be iden-
tilted. Rolla Campbell is the injured
miner brought out of the shaft, and IT
Is said that he cannot live. Campbell
IS conscious but he is unable 10 give
any explanation OF tEe accident.
c. +. Childers. a striking Zieglar
miner, last October predicted in a
printed article that an explosion wrs
likely 10 occur on account of what he
termed improper ventilation OF the
shafts.
There was much excitement among
miners when the accident became
known, because there had been a
strike Of long duration, and many con
nicts had occurred between strikers
and nOD-union miners.

he would do all he could to spread
the work until everywhere we can
hear persons seeking the entrance
TO our happy band. The Pythians
filled the church, aisle and all and
could not lie seated, and during the
services seats were being brought
until there was not a space to be
found. This church seats one
thousand persons. The gallery

WILL EXAMINE MINERS
Must Pass Stringent Examination to
Secure New Certificates.

Scranton. Pa. April 3.-Chief Rod
erick. Of the bureau of mines, has or
dered a re-examination OF the anthra-
cite miners TO provide them with new
certificates. Chief Roderick complained
to the inspectors OF the increasing ra-
Ito Of mine accidents per ton of coal
mined. as shown by the last annual re-
ports. The inspectors replied that il
was not their fault, and declared that
the blame lay in the fact that so many
miners, who are grossly incompetent,
are in possession OF miners certifi-
Gates, and therefore entitled 10 work in
the mines. This, coupled with the fact
that there have been numerous disclo-
sures OF late OF miners securing certifi-
Gates by fraud, prompted the chief to
order that all miners must undergo a
new examination. The questions will
be prepared by Chief Roderick himself.
and they viii. IL is said, insure a thor
ough and stringent examination.
