BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Nov. 1S.-
twenty-five are known TO have been
killed by an explosion in section OF
the mine of the Bottom Creek Coal &
Coke Company at Vivian, W. Va,
near here this afternoon.
1t is believed that She explosion
was caused by an accumulation OF
gas, as gas has been frequently found
in the mine. Between 200 and 300
men were employed.
AS soon as the news of the eXplo-
sion was received here, the Pittsburg
! branch OF the bureau of mines was
notified. Mine rescue car No. z. in
stalled at Huntington, but which to-
day was in Pineville, KY, was at
once despatched to the scene.
At the state mine department to-
night at Charleston, officials gave
out statement based ON the tele-
phone reports that twenty-five men are
dead, of whom four are members OF
surveying corporation working at
the mine at the time OF the explosion.
There We're 800 men working in the
mine when the explosion occurred and
all but twenty-five of these managed
to make their way to the cage before
the deadly gases got in their work.
Those dead are supposed to have
4 been caught by the after damp II not
killed outright by the first explosion
The state department Is certain that
the explosion was due to gas and that
1t was local in its extent otherwise
the entire working force in the mine
must have met the fate of qhe others
Eight of the dead are Americans and
the others are foreigners. The com
pany has not as yet been able to fur
nish the names of the dead but ar<
trying hard. Hundreds of women ant
+ children are crowding around the
mine entrance and the improvised
morgue, and the scenes are heartrend
vivors of the dead are only half CLAD
and they can scarcely be controlled
by the guards placed around the mine
by the company. Chief Laing of tht
state mine department left early this
evening for Vivian and will be aided
/ in the investigation by several depu
ties who were early on the scene
Chief Laing stated that coal dust wal
| kept removed from the mine and |
, was always well watered SO no dus
explosion could have occurred. From
the best information obtainable a
this hour the surveyors caught in th
mine and killed were working for
private corporation. They are sal
to be from New York and Baltimore

officials this cannot be told certainl.
At midnight, seventeen bodies ha

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 1s.--'rhe
trial of James B. Mcnamara for muT-
der in connection with the destruction
of the Los Angeles Times October /,
1910, encounters more and more OBJ
stacles as time passes. Since October
II the attorneys for both sides have
been endeavoring to qualify twelve
men who will swear to well and
truly try the case and to act impair
TALLY between the state and the ac-
oused.
Tonight there are five sworn jurors
and two men passed for cause by both
siGes. The two latter will never sur
vive the real trial. One will be per
emptorily challenged by the state and
the other by the defense. The state
has only five peremptories left while
the defense has eleven. 1t is certain
therefore, that the jury will be com
pleted not later than the middle of
next month.
But--and here is the between decks
secret that is troubling both sides
of the few men now in the jury box
three may be eliminated at any time.
Juror Sexton has a half brother,
Chas. Sexton, dying. They were boy
hood chums and their devotion has
/ been great. Should Charles Sexton
die his brother will demand that he
jbe excused, and 1t is likely that his
request will be granted.
/ f. D. Green, liked by state and de
lfense alike, is worried. His wife is
very i'll, so i'll that he is unable to
keep his mind on anything else and II
\ there should be change in her con
1 dition he will demanl to be excused
from further service.
Then there is Byron I.isk, president
of the Pasadena Milling Co. His eyes
have been bothering him. Since HI
was sworn in as juror in this cas-
they have been getting worse and to
might he confided to one of the cour
attendants that it was now question
whether he should demand that th
4 court excuse him or face total blind
ness.
Hence tonight there is decide
chance that all that has been secure
to date is two jurors who can serve t
the finish.
Another thing causing worry is tn
, declaration of the prosecution tha
fourteen and not twelve jurors sha
be qualified to serve The latter tw
will be reserve jurors as designate
by the California code, and will TAX
the place of any of the regular twelv
! who may be incapaciated for an
reason whatsoever.

PEKTN, Nov. 1S.-Japanese troops
landed tonight at Che Foo.
Following so closely the mikados
request that his government be depu-
tized to act for the other powers in
China, this landing on Chinese soil
is regarded here as the most startling
development since the rebellious out
break.
The Japanese request that the pow
ers place their Chinese interests in
the mikado's hands was interpreted in
Pekin as a diplomatic unwillingness
to see another nation secure firm
foothold on what 1t considers its
special field of influence
The Che Foo landing is taken as a
definite attempt to forestall its rivals
BY acting before they have time to
decline the Toxic governments offer.
That anti-foreign feeling in China
is growing Is fact, but all diplomats
here have agreed hitherto that act
ual landings of troops ought to be
avoided as long as possible, owing to
the certainty that tho move will bring
to the surface all the native hostility
to aliens. Japan having shown thei.
hands, however, it seems certain tha;
landings by the other powers will
speedily follow,
! It is considered especially fort ,
nate that United States Minister Cal
houn early today. ordered all Amer

them will be already on their wa,

Certain pieces Of defective pavement

cause Of q special council meeting this
afternoon and an effort to be made
to determine just how best to remedy
a condition that all concerned. includ-

ing was still in progress at 3 o'clock.
without the point having been deter
mined, but it is probable that few of

claims the responsibility rests with the
city, 1t having obligated itself to pre-
pare the foundation on which the new
concrete was laid. Mayor Jones blamed
Councilman Herman, whose depart
ment did the work. and blamed Her
man himself for not being ION the Job
all the time" The contractor was
blamed for laying the concrete on top
OF foundation If the latter was not
properly prepared. even if the city did
do 1t. Mclaughlin took the position
that he depended entirely upon the city
for the foundation, and never qucs-
tiored but what it was as it should
have been.
A Few Thin Spots.
The defects in the pavement are due
to high places in the foundation. These
small mounds or hummocks prevented
the new concrete from being spread
on top Of them to the same thickness
as elsewhere in the street and still
maintain the same uniform grade The
paving was put down over one or two
Of them before the condition was dis
covered. Afterwards the contractor
was employed to lower three high
places.
]. G. Weatherby, who was doing the
inspecting, admitted he had allowed
the concrete to be put down over the
first hummock discovered because 1t
could not be prevented unless the work
was brought to a standstill. That this
high point was 80 high. he added, was

or thought the head Of the streets and

Herman protested that no did not

was going TO protect the property
owners.
Mr.. Herman called the special meet
ing and introduced a resolution that
the paving be rejected and the con-

luton had not been passed up to 3
