rush Of water in mine No. 38 of the
Berwind- White Coal company at
Foustwell, Somerset county, are still

effect their freedom.
The work of pumping proceeds SLOW
ly and until the rescuers can effect an
entrance II will not be known whether
the men In the mine are dead or alive.
The mine mouth is besieged constant
ly by the relatives Of the entombed
miners. BY many 1t is believed the
men are dead, while the mine officials
are hopeful all will be taken out alive.
The flow of water from the mine Is
continuous and there Is a torrent rush

quantity Of water in the mine and the
slow gains made by the pumps the

Three thousand people live IN Cap

nett's Room.
New York, April 30.-The big bond
robbery, In which the Trust Company
of America was the victim, continues
an absorbing subject In the financial
district, where every development Is
eagerly scrutinized.
The robbery, at first put down as a
$4,000 affair, has steadily grown un-
til now 1t appears that securities ag-
gregating 100000 In value had been
taken by William o. Douglas, the bond
clerk now under arrest. These figures
are reached as the result Of an inter
view given by member OF the execu-
tive committee Of the trust company,
who said that 1t took $165,000 to re-
deem the securities hypothecated with
brokers for loans by o. M. bennett,
who Is under arrest In connection with
the robbery, and that the securities
were pledged for less than one-third
of their value He also said that 1t
was 100000 and not $4,000 worth OF
securities that were hidden In Broker
Depnett's bed at the Manhattan club.
Taken at the executive committee
mans own figuring that Douglas and
bennett received only part-less
than a third on the average-it can be
seen that the $l65,000 that the trust
company has lost On the outstanding
securities represents a value of nearly
100000 Adding the 100000 found
in the bed of Broker bennett makes
100000. What has become OF the
money Douglas and bennett raised Is
unexplained. The trustee said that
while he was OF the opinion that much
of this had been lost In speculation he
felt sure that the pair had snug sum
tucked away somewhere.
