Mononagh, w. Va. Dec. s.--But fifty three bodies had been recovered from mines Nos. 6 and of the Fairmont Coal Company when darkness closed over the little town of Mononagh to- night.
 the awful explosion and a majority Of he bodies brought to the surface were Nj a terrible copdition, necessitating almost immediate burial.
 It is now believed that the number of dead will not be over 400.
 A thorough investigation \was made by the company today and 1t was dis covered that many miners believed to have been entombed, had escaped be- cause they had not gone to work Fri day, after Thursdays holiday.
 Shortly after o'clock this after noon fire broke out again in mine No. &. and the rescuers were at once or- dered to the surface. Thousands Of sight-seers from the surrounding towns had gathered about the openings. Through megaphones. the crowds were notified of the fire and the dan ger of another explosion, but they re- fused to leave. and it was with great difficulty that the special police, as- sisted by many miners. forced these neonle to seek places of safety.
 Efforts were then directed toward extinpuishing the fire and 1t Is thougnf if o,iI1 he subdued within few hours when the work of rescue will be again taken up. It is said by members or the rescuing party that over one nun dred bodies have been located in both ,nines and that they will be brought to the surface as soon as the fire has been extinguished. It Is not believed inc fire will reach any of these bodies.

A Strong Pun h Being Made to Have Colonel Bankhead Appoint-
 ed On The sehate Com-
 merce Committee. NJ

( q .a f ts
 Washington, D. C., Dec, s--4 4lSpecial) Senator Johnston Is being heartily congratulated today by his friends on a speech he made here last night
 That 1t was not reported in any of the papers is. because the Alabamfan's success was achieved at a late hour last night at the first dinner of the season of the famous Gridiron Club and an invariable rule of this organiza- tion is that the speeches of it's guests are not published. About twenty Senator's were present but MT. Johns- ton was the only new Senator called on during the evening. A
 He spoke shortly after Governor Johnson of Minnesota. was heard from. Tt was a Johnson night" as many people put it. These two speeches tiest and most interesting during four or more hours of mirth-making music and good fellowship. - A strong pull Is being made to have Colonel Bankhead appointed a member of the Senate Commerce Committee which handles the River and Harbor appropriations. His colleague is doing everything in his power t6 induce the Democrats of that body to place Sena- tor Bankhead there. on account of the many years experience he had on the House Rivers and Harbors Committee. It is understood. however. that Sena- tor Clark, of Arkansas, practically demands the position if any Democrat from that section of the country is given the vacancy which was made by the retirement of Senator Berry from public life
 It Is possible MT. Clark may be given something else but then another trouble arises. Older Senators insist upon having this desirable assignment on account of the enthusiasm all over waterways and especially the inland rivers.
