CONSIDERABLE DELAY IN THE
RESCUE WORK IN THE BANNER
MINE AT LITTLEToN, ALA.
BY Associates Press.

Littleton, Ala, April 1o.-F1fty
bodies, six Of them white, were brought
up from the Banner mine mp to g
o'clock tonight. There was much de-
lay in the rescue work this afternoon
because a change of the air supply
was ordered by Mine Inspector Hill
house. who decided to convert the fans
from an outlet to an intake and push
the air in instead Of taking it out
This work required several hours and
when It was finished experts from the
federal rescue car went down for an
inspection
The nine bodies recovered from the
left entry were horribly mutilated
Parts of one white body were scat
tered for several yards. track rails
twisted and mine cars had been hurled
some distance. It is thought the cen
ter Of Saturdays explosion was in the
left entry. 1t is still thought that
powder caused the explosion, and the
accident occurred from the careless
handling or by bringing it in contact
with an exposed lamp. Mine officials
continue to maintain that 12S men
were IN the mine, though rumors to-
day are to the effect that ten or fifteen
more might be found
The first eight bodies of victims were
sent away tonight. No burials were
made here, but graves have been dug
and everything is in readiness for in
terment in cases where failure is made
by relatives to ask for the remains.
It Is understood Gov. O'Neal has or
dered an unusually close investigation
of the disaster In order to recommend
suitable legislation to legislature now
in session.
