RESCUERS DRIVEN
FROM DEATH PIT
Another Explosion Feared in
French Mine, Where More
Than 1000 Perished.:. =.

Paris, March 12.-Au rescue work has
been suspended at the Courrieres pit,
where more than 1000 miners lost their
lives on Saturday, owing to the dan
ger of gases and the carnations from
decomposing bodies. The engineers
fear another explosion and therefore
they ordered up the relief gangs at IL
O'Clock this morning. The engineers
will attempt to ventilate the chambers
before attempting further rescues. If
the results are satisfactory, work will
be resumed tonight, but it is probable
that no further efforts will be made
until Wednesday, as Tuesday will be
devoted to funerals.
The mine company's latest estimate
places the number of victims at 1000.
A serious disorder was threatened to-
day, owing to the persistence of par
ents who wanted to see the bodies of
the dead in hope of identifying them.
The authorities promised to admit
groups of twenty-five, but the delay
made the parents impatient and they
rushed at the DOORS A scene of great
confusion followed, but mounted gen.
darmes eventually forced back the
crowds and order was restored with
difficulty. When the parents obtained
admission a sorrowful spectacle was
presented, as in groups Of twenty five
| they search the Fblackened bodies. A
number Of identifcations were made
and the bodies were taken home.
The houses Of the dead are marked
with rough black crosses decorated
with simple floral devices.

KENTUCKY COURTS
U. s. Supreme Court Refuses to
Take Goebel Case from
State Tribunal.

Washington, March 1.-THE Caleb
Powers case was decided by the SUI
preme court Of the United Staes today
against Powers.
The oninion was delivered by JUS
tice Harlan and held that the case was
not removable from the state to the

remanded to the Kentucy state courts.
The opinion was based on the ground
that the equal rights statute, section

unless recognized by state laws or The
state constitution. Justice Harlan said
that the supreme court Of the United
States could take cognizance of the
case on a writ Of error. The opinion
was unanimous.
