90 Persons Killed

Yolande, Ala, Dec II. - A disa.-

pay Monday morning. 1t is impossible
to tell how many are dead as a result
of the explosion, the estimates varying
all the way from 40 to so. The WORK

cause of the debris in the mines and
the large crowd of women, children
and sightseers at the opening.
The explosion is now known to have
occurred in either the fifth OF sixth

been recovered from those entrances
and some Of them were SO horribly
mutilated that identification is almost
impossible. The bodies Of 10 white

to drop the letter in both hands between

After this he read on quietly to the end,

forward, he tapped the photograph twice

He spoke quietly, almost dryly, except
for the single phrase. "a Pole and

raised into an expression Of Incredulous
wrath. and he broke off with the curious
cackling laugh with which he had greeted
