favor of the Equitable Life Assurance
society in q suit to. make permanent
IN Injunction forbidding State Insur-
alce Commissioner Zeno M. Host from
rsvoking the society's license for do
ing business in Wisconsin. The Wis
consin law provides that life insurance
companies doing business in this state
may make distribution Of surplus in
two, three, four or five years. Com
missioner Host held that this made
distribution every five years manda-
tory. The company. secured an injunc-
tion against the revocation Of its IL
cense. but Judge Dunwiddie, in the

Commissioner Hosts contention. An
appeal was taken to the state supreme

sustained by the supreme court it is
estimated that about $s,000,o00 at. sur

PI1Ifut SCENES At MOUTH OF PIT

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.-One
hundred and sixteen miners, some
white and some colored, are entombed
in the coal shafts Of the Alabama
Steel and Wire company at the Vir-
ginia mines, six miles south of Besse-
mer, and large force of men is ell
gagged in a heroic effort to rescue
them, but the odds are fearful and the
chances are against the entrapped
miners.
An explosion occurred in the mine
at 4 p. m. which brought down mass
Of timbers, silt, coal and earth near
the entrance, completely closing up
the mine. The explosion was the re-
suit of what is known in mining ver-
nacular as "dry shot" The men at
work in the mine were on the sixth
lift, far under ground and beyond the
sound of human voice.
According to the official list of the
check weighman at the mine there
were 1O7 miners, helpers and other
workers under ground at the time of
thefdisaster. However, it is admitted
that number of newly employed men.
whose names were not checked OF,
entered the mine and as nearly as can
be figured there were 116 persons ell
tombed when the explosion took place.
i All Hope Of Rescue Gone.
Since midnight all hope OF saving
any of4the men has been abandoned.
ting the bodies out as rapidly as pos
sible, but owing TO the presence Of
gas and the small opening which is
being made as the rescuers go down,
together with the scarcity Of safety
lanterns, this work is necessarily very
slow. AS consequence but five bod
les have been recovered-four whites
and one negro. The men who brought
up these bodies say they Saw other
corpses near where those were found
but were unable to get them out be-
cause of the large amount of debris.
A platform has been erected at the
mouth of the mine on which to lay the
bodies for Identification as they are
brought out and around this platform
hundreds of women and children are
gathered. waiting and crying. The
bodies SO far recovered are terribly
blackened and mangled and indicate
that the victims were killed by the
explosion. The explosion was fearful,
in it's force, volume of fame 100
feet high shooting out from tho mouth
Of the mine.
The rescuers are still at work and
late rumor says that no less than City
dead bodies are in sight. At noon
practically no hope was held out Of
finding any of the entombed men alive
