NINE STILL UNOPENED
Rescuers Unable to Pene

Are Buried.

Jacobs Creek. Pa, Dec. 21-Six bodies
have been recovered from the Darr
mine, where an explosion Thursday
imprisoned nearly 200 men, 1t is now
estimated that 100 men are stiIl in the
wrecked shafts, and no hope is held
that any of them will be rescued alive.
Another death was added to the ia
talities yesterday. when Conrad Schultz.
4S years old, craZed by the death in the
mine of his son and other relatives,
committed suicide by drowning in the
river near the mine.

Rescuers Keep Up Task.
Despite the hopelessness of their
task. the rescuers yesterday kept up
their efforts to reach the imprisoned
miners. Most of the latter are hemmed

Rescue work has been halted tenn
porarily. a vast amount of bratticing
must be done before it can proceed. The
rescuing parties. $500 feet from the
main entrance, have found conditions
such that to avert an additional dis
aster precautionary work must be done
The poisonous gases must be forced
from the sections beyond and additional
air and ventilation must be provided
for that section. These safeguards will
require hours.
Conditions in Town Better.
Conditions in the town are greatly
improved, as the men who Thursday be-
gan a holiday celebration by drinking
and feasting have sobered up. An i'm
portant factor in bringing about this
condition was the closing of the big sa-
loon in the towns only hotel.
Probably more potent, however. was
the arrival from Kitanning of the Rev.
Father Lawrence A. Carroll. former
rector of st. Timothy's Catholic church
here, of which a majority of the vic
Tins were members.
President John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America, telegraphed
from Indianapolis authorizing the dis
trict officials to draw on the national
treasury for $1,000 for relief of the
families of the victims.

RETURN OF JACKETS.

Women who cannot wear the long
coat costumes will be pleased with the
return of the jacket in tailor-made cos
tunes which is just a trifle longer than
the waist and neatly rounded over the
hips. 1t is the style which. If properly
made, is the picture of perfection. A
neat suit could be fashioned of the
heavy twilled blue serge. and If trim
med around the jacket and skirt with
two rows of black silk braid the eff

neat, pretty and simple. The coat can
be made with an open front, without
collar or lapels, or the single or double

The passengers are being trans

all hands were safely landed. When
the steamer struck the rocks there
was much excitement among the

The Mount Temple left Antwerp

Early in the day the big vessel
