TOTAL Ten
COAL NINE EXPLOSION AT ROS-
LYN ADDS ANOTHER VICTIM TO
LIST OF DEAD-BLACK DAMP
SPREADING.

ROSLYN, Wash, Oct. 5.-The
number of dead as result of yes
terday's explosion of fire damp in No.
4 shaft of the Northwestern Improve
ment company's mine is now ten,
Otis Newhouse, outside foreman, hav-
ing died today. John X. Jones, an
engineer, aged sixty, who was sup
posed to have been fatally burned, is
recovering.
Newhouse. who was forty. years of
age, came from Streator, ILL.,, year
ago and his family arrived recently.
At the time of the explosion New
house was on the tipple laying a
new floor. The explosion hurled him
high aloft and he fell on pile of
sawdust 450 feet from the mouth of
the shaft, with his clothing torn and
his body frightfully burned.
At the shaft hole conditions were
much improved today. Strong
down the shaft all night, and no
smoe is now visible. 1t is impossi-
BILE to tell how seriously the mine
is damaged and how long it will be
closed.
Last night rescuing party en-
tered the stope which is directly con-
nected with the shaft. The party
penetrated the dip mine, hoping to
enter the shaft by a circuitous route
1t had proceeded 5000 feet when it
suddenly encountered black damp.
Engineer Frank Goode was over
come, but was dragged to safety. The
black damp is spreading and 1t will
require several days to pump 1t out.
The explosion has not been ex-
planned. No shots were fired yester-
day and the fire bosses reported that
the mine was clear only five minutes
before the explosion. The coal COM
pany has promised to take care of
the families of the victims.

COOK MAKES
STATEMENT
UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN
WILL MAKE FIRST EXAMINA-
Ton OF RECORDS AND THEN
OTHER SCIENTIFIC BODIES.

BALTIMORE, Oct 5.-Before his
lecture tonight, DR.. Cook was shown
the Associated Press dispatch from
Copenhagen relative to his reported
intention to request the university of
that city 10 yalve its claim to the
first examination of his records. At
ter reading the dispatch carefully, he
said:
"a wrong impression has been re-
ceivel in Denmark as to just what l
said in Washington last night, and
this, too, seems not to have been per-
fectly understood in this country. In
order that there may be no further
misunderstanding l shall be glad to
have the Associated Press announce
as coming from me that I shall ad-
here to the original plan to have the
University of Copenhagen make the
first examination of my records, but
that shall ask that university to
withhold the announcement of the re-
suit until the records shall have been
examined simultaneously by all the
geographical societies of the world
Immediately after they have been ex-
amined by the University of Copen-
hagen, duplicate copies of my records
will be submitted to all the geo.
graphical societies of the world
and to any other scientific bodies de-
string them"
DR.. Cook at first expressed an in
tention of cabling to this effect to
Denmark, but afterward decided the
transmission of his statement to that
country through the Associated Press
would be preferable.
