GRAIN DEALERS IN SESSION
Uniform Grading of Grain Is Most
Important Matter Under
Consideration.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE thir-
teenth annual meeting of the Grain
Dealers National association opened
in this city and will continue until
Friday. 1t is expected that the at
tendance will reach 900. United States
Senator Albert J. Beyeridge will adj
dress the convention on "Higher
Ethics in Business"
An important matter to be consid-
cred by the grain dealers is progress
in the adoption of the uniform grading
standard recommended by the associa-
ton. John +. Courcier, secretary
treasurer Of the organization, will re-
port that many grain exchanges have
adopted the standard and that he ex-
poets that the Chicago board of trade
and the state railroad and warehouse
commission of Illinois soon will put
1t into practice.
The association, it is said, is strong
ly opposed to the proposed inspection
of grain by federal appointees. Mem
bers of the association believe that
old grain inen are more competent to
handle the question that the govern
n1ent, and that federal commission
would result in an Indifference on the
part Of the grain men regarding the
quality of their product.

GRAPHIC STORY OF RESCUE
One Who Was Taken Out Describes
Sensations When Fumes Roach
Men and They Sit Down to

Ladysmith, B. c., Oct. Thirty.
two miners lost their lives in the
Extension mine of the Wellington
Colliery Company near here as re.
suit Of an explosion of fire damp.
Eighteen bodies have been recovered
and II are still entombed.
Thomas Hislop,. one of the last of
the 700 miners and assistants who es-
capped, gave graphic account of the
accident.
Il was working with 16 men, includ-
ing five Of the dead, on the first
level, when we heard the explosion"
said Hislop. I'VE stood for a Sec
ond In the darkness as our lamps
went out. We started through the
counter level, but could not get
through: The. deadly black damp
was choking us.as we fought our. way
into level No. s.. .s~'''''-'. ~; ."
~ Sat Down to Wait. for Death.
There Ave Of the men succumbed,
and we knew the gas had got them.
We were getting weak as the gas be-
came more dense. We could scarce
ly breathe and in our ears was the
roar of thousand drums. We gave
UP, hope and sat down to wait for
death. Then we heard, shout and
Lee Shaw, the foreman, and David
son, who lost his son in the mine,
came. We smashed through the STOP
ing and crawled to safety"
There was no fire in the mine. It
is expected that work will be resumed
in less than week. The mine has a
daily output Of 1,400 tons.
,,.. A sobbing Procession.
A crowd of women, with tense.
drawn faces, holding children by the
hand, awaited the mine train from
Extension, IL miles away, and when
the train, which daily carries hun
dreds of miners from their Ladysmith
homes arrived, it brought 16 limp
bundles on stretchers, covered with
sheets. AS they were passed out from
the caboose, a sobbing procession fell
in behind, and the bodies were car
ried away to the miners homes on
the hill
Alexander Shaw, the foreman, says
that the five bodies found were hud-
died in a row, seemingly as though
they had been holding coat tails.
AS narrated by Thomas Hislop, an
escaped miner, who was with this
party, they ran up stall, evidently to
seek a short way out. When death
overlook them they were less than
100 feet from where Hislop and the II
others had sat waiting when they
heard the voices Of the rescue party,
and broke through the stopping safely.
Rescuing parties are still in the
mine, but many cave-ins delay the
work. 80
