RESCUE WORK
IS DELAYED
Flames Break Out Again In
Mine at Cherry, III.
RESCUERS ARE DRIVEN OUT

May Be Several Days Before Entrance
Can once More Be Made Into Shaft.
Is Sealed Up In Order to Smother
Fire-May Force Carbolc Acid Gas
Into the Hole.
Cherry, H., Nov. 16.-All possible
chances Of rescuing the entombed
miners have vanished. Fire has brok-
and fire engines and fire fighting ap-
paratus have been rushed here from
La Sale on a special train.
BY order of mining experts and in.
spectors, after conference with c..
S. Rice, chief of the field work Of the
United States geographical survey
the main shaft was sealed again in
the hope of smothering the flames suf
ficiently to permit of fighting the fire.
The fire broke out with great in
tensity after the rescue workers and
inspectors had thrice descended into
the shaft to the bottom On the first
two trips no sign of life was detected
near the shaft and there was no
smoke. Then the fans were started
In the hope OF clearing the galleries
that search for the bodies might go
on. Suddenly the flames were re
kindled, flames pouring out of the
stables where the fire started.
Inspector James Taylor and r. Y.
Williams were being lowered into the
shaft when they discovered the flames
about 100 feet from the bottom OF the
shaft and toward the exit shaft. They
signalled for an ascent and ordered
the fire department at work. The wa
ter power was insufficient. and with
in short time the shaft was sending
forth volumes Of smoke, and the heat
became excessive.
All hope of further exploration in
the mine was abandoned, and experts
believe it will be several days before
any further effort to reach the en-
tombed miners can be made.
Officials have announced that car
bonic acid gas and steam would be
forced through pipes to the bottom Of
the mine to smother the flames Presi-
dent Mcdonald Of the United Mine
Workers union, said if this was done
every man in the mine would be dead
within few minutes.

Is Proving a Nuisance

The word nuisance Is proving a
slight nuisance among those who are
framing an ordinance TO cover the
Sunday closing Of saloons. The city
charter requires that II saloon man
is found guilty Of maintaining a nuis-
ance his license shall be revoked; and
it is for that reason that the efforts
are put forth to include the word in
the new ordinance that Is to be pre-
scented. Councilman Curtis new ordi-
nance provides that IL saloon man
is convicted the second time OF main
tanning such nuisance his license
shall be revoked--but only on second
conviction. This is apparently open to
the objection that the place is to be
allowed to remain licensed between
the interim intervening between the
FIRST and second convictions, while a

10 declare the selling Of liquor on

law being that il is not possible to
declare that to be a nuisance which is
not inherently 50, at given time or
place. The city attorney, Mr.. Aber-
crombic, is also preparing an ordi-
nance TO cover the ground. at the re-
quest Of some Of the councilmen, and
