THREE DEATHS IN
 MINE EXPLOSION

Pittsburg January 25.-While Supt. J. G. Logan and a party of miners were in- vestigating conditions in the mine of the Merchant Coal company at Boswell tonight a gas explosion occurred which has already cost the life of one man, and may result in the death of a dozen more. The night shift had not been permitted to enter the mine, and thus the lives of many men were spared.
 Superintendent Logan, accompanied by Mine Boss George Morris, Pit Boss John Cole, and eleven foreigners, were nearly a mile back in the mine when the ex- plosion occurred. The mine caved in and the passage way was completely blocked with ten back of the obstruction.
 Three foreigners badly burned found their way out and carried the superin- tendent, who was seriously injured and unconscious. He died soon after being taken from the mine.
 Rescue parties were soon working hard in an effort to rescue Morris, Cole and the eight foreigners.
 At 1 o'clock this morning J. D. O'Neill, general manager of the Merchants Coal company, received word at his home here that all the men in the Boswell mine at the time of the explosion are account ed for except two. One of those who escaped is dead and several are burned and bruised. The two missing men are foreigners.

DU M MES MISSING
 FROM THE RECORDS

Musk ogee, Okla, January 25.-It was discovered today that the various lists of names of dummies who claim possess sory rights to town, lots are missing from the records of the town site com mission which had charge of the ap- praisment, apportionment and schedul- ing of lots. This commission completed its work six years ago. It was com posed of Dwight w. Futile of Conneeti- cut, and John Q. Adams and G. F. Mar shall of Muskogee.
 The governments attorneys say the disappearance of these lists will have little effect on the investigation. The sessions of the grand jury will be held in the federal jail with secret service men on guard as a precautionary meas ure.
 With a view to obtaining grand jury free from local environments, in order to relieve possible embarrassment, the federal authorities have called men, with two exceptions, from outside of Muskogee to investigate the charges of conspiracy and fraud in connection with the holding of Muskogee town lots.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE l.,

lision was imminent One story had it that a quarter master had the wheel when the commander yelled for it to be damned to starboard. He put to port instead and the liners crashed into each other.
 Another version of the story is that the man dropped his wheel in a panic when danger impended. Both versions agree in saying that the commander felled the quartermaster with an iron spike following what he must have con- sidered the seaman's recreancy. An injured quartermaster from the Florida was brought to port on the Baltic to- day. He stoutly asserted that he was not at the wheel when the accident oc- cured.
