HUNDREDS IN MINE.

Clarksburg w. Va; Somerset, Penn ana
Cumberland Md Clarence ". Watson. OF Bal

Monongah is q mining town in Marion Couh-
ty W. Va, about six miles southwest OF falr-
mont. 1t has population about six thousand.
most of whom are foreigners. although there Is
a large proportion OF American miners In this
district than in most OF the other bituminous
fields.
Until about ten years ago the mines were
onerated almost exclusively by Americans. but
during a general strike OF miners in the Penn
sylvania and Ohio fields many OF these west
Virginia miners went out I'm sympathy to pre-
vent the filing OF contracts at lake ports ana
elsewhere with West Virginia coal by the com
nan,es in Ohio and West Virginia. against
which the strike directed. AT that time the
mine owners brought large number OF Tor
eigners into the field to take the places or the
strikers. and ever since the foreigners have been
d,sn1actnr Americans until they arc now In the
majority.

v,o,t side Of West Fork River. the homes OF the
miners occupying both sides OF the river. The
mines have both slope and shaft entries. Along
the hills far back from the main opening Of
mine No. S. there are number OF openings into
tie mine and TO these hundreds OF relatives and
friends Of the entombed men frantically rushed
IN the vain hope that their loved ones might find
escape through these channels or that they
might be more readily reached and released
So far as known however. not single man es-
capped this way, and the would-Le rescuers are
helpless at these points. for out OF each entry
there is pouring volume of poisonous gas
which no human being can face for more than
q few minutes at a time
The scenes round about the entries to the
mines and throughout the town are even more
pathetic and heartrending than those which
usually attend mine disaster. because of a
larger proportion of Americans and American
ized foreigners than usually found in a
purely mining settlement. Wives. mothers and
sweethearts, together with children and mem-
bers of the stronger sex, move from place TO
place vainly seeking information and making
no attempt to conceal the grief that overwheims
them. Little news can be given to them, and
| such as they do get is bad.
| No one is encouraged to hope that any one in
/ the mine has survived the Nexplosion and the
| sufrocating gas that Immediately thereafter
| filled the mine From time to time there comes
word from the searcherE in the mine that bodies
| have been found at one place another. and in
| nearly every instance It is also stated that the
! bodies are either terribly torn and mangled or

SENATOR WHITES VIEWS.
Thinks Roosevelt and Hughes Should
Run 4oain.

Senator Horace White. Of Syracuse. who called
on State Chairman Woodruff at state committee
headquarters yesterday, says the Republicans OF
onondaea are overwhelmingly for the renomina-
ton Of President Roosevelt and Governor Hughes
Senator White was generally regarded an anti
Hughes in TIE Senate last year He introduced
amendment 10 the insurance bill that came near
cripplng insurance legislation favored by the Gov
ernor and he defended Otto Kelsey, Superintendent
OF Insurance when the Governor tried TO remove
him.
g. believe that in my section of the state the SEN
timert among Republicans is Overwhelmingly for
the denomination Of Roosevelt for President and
Hughes for Governor" said Mr.. White. 1T is only
natural that the Governor should be renominated.
There are many OF his policies that remain to be
carried ou: He has been able thus far 10 visit
only 2 few state institutions. and doubtless
some Of them are greatly il need of an over
hauling I think a sincere and thoughtful man
Eke the Governor will feel that he must complete
any work he has undertaken"
Then YOU DO not credit the report that the Gov
ernor will refuse a renomnation2"
could any man refuse il if 1t came to him backed
bv a public demand and in the shape of a public
dUty?"
what If President Roosevelt were not candi-
date for renomnation2"
..rben think Hughes would become very
commanding figure / should think the sentiment
would be for him against any outsider"
eTIow about the Taft boom in Onondaga!"
There is some Taft sentiment and some for
s-or.elvof, / suppose a matter Of fact, -Mr.
Hendricks could secure that delegation for any
ono he chose but don't know that he has made
up his mind
.FJow about the Cortelyou sentiment?"
There are some people who believe that he
should be nominated for President and others
that he should be Governor
Asked about the possibility Of reopenins of
.he Kelsey case at the next session Of the i1egis-
lature Mr. White said;
III the Governor finds new and important eNi-
denoe the case may be reopened- But my under
standing is that he felt he had cone ms outy De
xore .1a Thai no man shoulG twice be psced IL
,eopar6y for the same thing
Senator White said that Ray b. smith, OF syrs'
cuse would he the next clerk OF the Assembly
and he expects that Asseubyman Hammond, also
of Syracuse will be the next chairman OF The
Assembly Cities Committee

The subcommittee appointed 10 frame call
for the national convention met this afternoon
to give hearings to persons desiring TO have
special provisions in the call in order that the
selection Of delegates prescribed by the COM
rnittee might not conflict with the laws OF their
states. Since the last national convention was
held several states have passed laws prescrib-
ing the method of electing delegates, and in
several instances these laws conflict with the
methods of the committee that have prevailed
in the past The committee VIII endeavor to
