Practical miners asserted last night
that none of the imprisoned miners
could survive more than two hours.
While the mine officials declare that
air can reach the mine through an
open escape shaft, water was poured
down the opening in an effort to
quench the flames apparently blocking
the passage of air.
No similar accident has been re-
corded in Illinois. The greatest loss
of life was at Braidwood in 1879, when
80 persisted as a result of flooding the
mine.
In a mine disaster in Japan in 1907
40 were killed. The maximum loss OF
life in mine disasters in America was
at Monongah, West Virginia, in 1907
when 800 were killed.

replied. Il will try it once more"
He did, and when the cage again
was lifted he was dead, his clothing
burned from his body. The third
time the cage was lowered, but never
rose again. Fifty mules were de
stroyed. The officials Of the company
declare there could not have been
more than $50 men below when the
fire originated. Some of the miners
declare 400 or more never reached the
surface. Smoke was pouring from the
mine at midnight.

fire.

BIG CASINO FOR
AL[ENHURsT CLUB
Beach Club Said to Have Agreed
to Transfer Its Principal
Asset.

ALLENHURST, July 23.-The Allen
hurst Club, of which thirty or forty
members are Newarkers, is to be con-
solidated with the Beach Club, and the
consolidation, about which until last
night there had been only vague ru-
mors, will practically do away with the
latter organization.
What will become of the 200 of the 300
members of the Beach Club who are not
also Allenhurst Club members is a point
rev puzzling the directors of both
clubs.
A proposition to take over a lease OF
the Allenhurst Casino, the Beach Clubs
principal asset, was made by the direc-
tors of the Allenhurst Club several
lays age and has been accepted. The
board of directors of the Beach Club met
at the Casino last night for the pur-
pose of accepting or rejecting the AL
lenhurst Clubs offer, and 1t was stated
uneuuivocally to a Star representative
by one of them, H. w. Douty, that the
Allenhurst Clubs proposition had been
accepted. The rest mildly denied this
to be so.
A. G. Scherer, president OF the Al
I lenhurst Club, who did not attend the
meeting, was authority for the other
statements.

Critics.

LONDON, July 23.-The shipbuilding
vote is to come up for discussion in
the House of Commons on Monday
next, when it is expected either the
prime minister or the first lord of the
admiralty will make a statement about
the four conditional ships. 1t is be-
lieved that these four Dreadnaughts
will be ordered this year. 1t would
take no one oy surprise, either, if at
the same time Mr.. Asquith should make
public the result of the inquiry into
the charges which Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford brought against the
admiralty.
There was a parade of the ships at
Portsmouth for the imperial press. The
result was a surprise to many promi-
nent men connected with journalism.
Then came the maneuvers. The mobili-
cation worked most smoothly, there
was no lack of men n the magnitude
of the operation was most striking.
There were no b-reakdowns, no ves-
sells had to return to port with defects
TO their machinery n no serious accl-
dent took place.
