Toledo, Ohio (Special) "A sub

This was the final declaration of
President Thomas J.. Lewis, of the
United Mine Workers, before he left
here. He would not discuss his plans
for bringing about an agreement
with the operators, but made it evil
dent that he had not given up hope
of settlement.
Talk that special national con-
vention of miners would be called
or a referendum vote taken TO re-
adjust the situation obtained consid-
cradle credence. but this, President
Lewis said. was speculation

Company, five miles north OF this

"A lucid explanation OF the cause of
the explosion When he saw the
lights of the rescuers, he moaned
and tried to crawl. He was slight
ly burned. but suffered chiefly from
the effects of after-damp. He was
placed in a car and taken immedi-
ately to daylight. Some of the dead
were found near the entrance to the
heading, others lay along the track
at short distances from each other
almost at the face of the coal. Two
bodies nearest the face we're burned
slightly about the face and arms.
The position of the bodies showed
the men had made desperate efforts
10 crawl away from the heading.
One hundred and ten men work
ing in the same slope escaped
through other headings of the mine,
although they were held back for
about 10 hours by the black damp,
until a rescue party of IL mine
bosses reached them. One thousand
other men working in adjoining
mines within a radius OF three miles,

heed 10 it and did not learn of the
disaster until they came out of the

tracks just within the mouth of the
mine slope were knocked unconscious
by the concussion. but were revived
later with little difficulty.
Michael Harrington. the only
American among the dead, was a
son of John Harrington, foreman OF
the mine. The younger man, act
ing as assistant to his father, was
directing the work on the heading
when the explosion occurred.
The first report of the explosion
was made by seven track repair men
who had been working at the back
of the main entry. They were hurl
ed from their feet, although 125 feet
away. AS soon as they came out OF

MAN AND WOMAN
DIE TOGETHER
Philadelphia Police Try To
Solve Mystery.
The Man A Prosperous Lapidary
Who Had Not Been Seen Since
Christmas Week And Was Sup
posed To BE On A Hunting Trip
May Have Been A Double MUIR
der Or Suicide Pact, ALTHOUGH No
Evidence OF Crime.

Philadelphia Especially. - What
may have been q double murder, a
consummated suicide pact or two
sudden deaths from natural causes
was discovered here when the bodies
OF William Bohrer prosperous lap
idary, aged 30 years, and an uniden-
titled woman, about 80 years of age,
we're found in a room in the whole
sale jewelry trade section of this
city where they had lain probably for
more than a month.
The room where the bodies were
found were used by Bohrer as a
sleeping apartment and adjoined his
shop on the third floor of a small
building at Seventh and Samson
Streets. The lapidary, who had sue
ceeded his father in business many
years ago, had not been seen since
Christmas week. 1t was his custom
to take frequent fishing and hunt
ing trips, and the fact that his rooms
had not been opened for more than
month attracted little attention.
His son, after several attempts to find
his father at home, notified the po-
lice and locksmith was sent for and
broke open the door.
Clothed only in their night robes
the bodies of the man and woman
were found lying in the room. Boh-
rer's body was stretched face down
ward across a chair, while that of
the woman lay on the bed face down
ward, her outstretched hand grasp
ing the round of chair.
There was nothing to indicate that
the couple had entered suicide
pact, no trace of poison having been
found. Neither was there any evi-
dence of murder, aside from the fact
that Bohrer's body was lying in an
unusual position. The apartment
was in good order. and there was nc
evidence of a robbery having been
committed. Both bodies were in a
badly decomposed condition. and il
was practically impossible to tell
from the superficial examination
which was made whether murder had
been committed.
The identity of the woman is not
known to any of the occupants OF
the building.
