Unconscious Part of Time;
Did Not Realize Dancer

William Cleland, one of the survivors
after drinking a bowl of soup appeared
none the worse for his experience.
I'VE made the most of our situation,
he said. sitting in the car and surrounded
by nurses. LAS soon as we discovered
fire Saturday and that there was no hope
of escape we retreated to a safe place
where water could be found.
Fortunately some of the timbers be-
hind us burned out and let the earth
and rocks fall down, cutting us off from
the heat and gas. How the time went
we do not know. We must have been
unconscious part of the time.
II remember, soon after We were shut
in, drinking great quantities of the seep
age that had dripped down into the gut
ter and eating my lunch. After that
some of us pulled off the bark and
chewed it.
I'VE did not realize how serious was
our position. In fact, some of the men
spent the time joking and said they
wished they had a pack of cards.
1T was after we had drunk up all the
water and the seepage had run dry that
we began to pound on the wall to cause
more to drop down. Soon after this We
heard voices.
"One Of our men said: AT last they are
coming after US.
I'VE could hear them digging on the
other side of the rock and dirt which
filled up the passage. Soon little hole
was seen. at the top and the CLEAN of the
torches came through.
Our first question was: Is it Sunday
or Monday? AS matter of fact most OF
us thought it was Sunday and that We
had been in the mine only about twenty
four hours.

PRAISE FOR RESCUE CORPS.
Secretary Ballinger and Engineer
Wilson Proud of Result.

When Secretary of tho Interior Ballinger
learned of the men having been found
alive in the Cherry mine he expressed
great satisfaction with the work of the
United States geological survey, under
which the men from the government res
cue station prosecuted the rescue.
This is SO overwhelming i can hardly
believe it, said the Secretary. IF these
men live, it will be the most gratifying
demonstration of the work of the govern
ment rescue corps. That corps toiled
heroically to reach those entombed men"
H. NJ. Wilson, chief engineer of the
tec.-nologic department Of the survey,
under which division the rescue corps
comes. had given up hope that any would
be saved.
This will be the means of creating
greater confidence on the part of the oper-
ators and men in the necessity of equip
ping their mines, as far as possible, with
the oxygen helmets and the trained res
cuers,' said Mr.. Wilson
The governments rescue squad went 10
the bottom of the shaft. where no person
unequtpped with the oxygen apparatus
the Chicago fire department could get
hose down there.
This is not the first time the rescue
men nave saved lives. At the Marianne
disaster in Pennsylvania the rescuers
found one man alive out of 15O At the
Letter mine, in Zeigler. Ind, the oxygen
squad went into the mine after an explO-
siGl and resuscitated a man. After one OF
the most recent mine disasters-that at
Rosslyn, Wash.-the mine manager or
dered an oxygen outfit and has asked the
government to train his men in its use."

Conducting Without Baton.

From the London Daily News.
NJ Wassili Safonoff who has been con-
Quoting the Newcastle music festival, is
a Russian, and famous in both hemis-
pheres as a conductor. Finding himself
without his baton on one occasion he
used his hands and was so satisfied with
the result that since then he has never
reverted TO the use of the customary
stick. Where there is no baton" he
once remarked, 1.-The players cannot be
lazy: they must watch your fingers so
carefully. In a few years there will be
no batons.' Certainly NJ. Safonoff, who
has often conducted in London. gets
wonderful results from an orchestra. but
no other conductor in the first rank has
yet followed his example in abandoning
The baton.
I notice that some one, apropos Of NJ
Safonoff. has been explaining that Men,
delssohn introduced the baton into Eng
land at the first concert he conducted in
London. | fancy this Is not correct, for
ii IL generally accepted that Spohr,
against the opposition OF the directors Of
the society, insisted on conducting his D
minor symphony with the baton at Phil
harmonic concert i'll March. 1920. The in
novation SO pleased the authorities that
a baton was provided for conductors a.
subsequent concerts, and Mendessohn
used ii when he made his English debut.
in May, 1929. and conducted his sym-
phony in G minor.

Seven Days Gallant Battle
to Preserve Life and Hone

The discovery of the men was almost
accidental. They had been drinking
seepage and were pounding on the wall
in order to make the water drip down.
The noise of the pounding was heard
by the rescuers. The work of reaching
them was begun.
The five men were first reached by
Supt. Powell OF Braceville, Ill. When he
got to them some OF them were talking
and joking and apparently were partly
demented from their terrible experience.
When the explorers, led by Duncan Nc
Donald. president of the Illinois Fedora
ton of Miners. broke into their living
tomb the men were all seated. but with
the first ray that fell upon them from
the lamps of the searching party they
jumped to their feet and gave a feeble
cheer.
Tie excitement which prevailed among
the rescuers even exceeded that of those
snatched from the jaws of death.

some pounding and what sounded to me
like faint voice
Il turned to the fellows and said:
| Listen, 1 thought / heard q voice then.
Maybe it is some of the fellows still
alive
I'VE listened again. What appeared to
be the voice and the pounding continued.
AT that we started at a brisk pace to
where we thought the men were, and
found there an obstruction.
Before We had the obstruction down
we knew for certain live men were behind
it, for we called and talked to them re-
peatedly. One of the men behind the
obstruction happened to be an Italian
who used to work for me.
He called out, Hello. Mr.. Davie.' as he
always called me. You see we amt dead
yet
In another minute we were all clasped In
each others arms. The men we took out
from here were the first two to reach the
surface. and were apart from those res
cued later"

In bedroom off the combination dining
room and kitchen were Subacus. on the
bed, his three youngsters, the Oldest four
years. peering at his blackened face and
arms through the bars at the foot of their
fathers resting place.
A Catholic sister was present to see
| that the patient, bolstered up apparently
by all the pillows in the place. did not
overeat. His story was simple and direct
"At 1 o'clock last Saturday the pit bos

run then, but met George Eddy and some
others, about twenty-one in all.
Mr.. Eddy led us back where l haC

up barrier. but it was pitch dark ant
we did not get along well. All the time
we breathed bad gas.
II had nothing to eat Of my own. but
chewed bark and drank water. We go

bottom of the entry. We made five Of
these holes and there was always some
ore at them. It was our principal food.
That's how all the coal dust got into

Why. we all said goodbye to eact

At first the English among us sang songs
and the Italians were all the time pray

to more than crawl about.
Nobody reached us today-We reach
ed them. We wanted more water and
we crawled over our own barrier and
started.
I'VE did not know where We were
and were always falling over things
like mules. So on that account we
walked about ten feet apart, so as not
to fall on each other
1.-The last 'fall-in' nearly blocked the
passage. and we had to worm our way
through a long aperture scarcely big
enough to hold us. We were dreadfulty
weak, for we had breathed much
poison.
Then we saw the rescuers who had
come down. There was no cheering.
We Just sat down and let them take
care of us.
THAT was all. Nobody had voice

talk"

much. But the Lithuanian grew SO eX-
