ONLY THREE REACH SURFACE.
After. Damp Pervades Mine After
Disasier-Rescue Work at Present
Impossible.

Welch, W. Va, March 2G.--Eighty
three men are entombed in the mine
! of the United States Coal and Coke
Company at Jed, three miles from
here. An explosion Of gas occurred
in the mine at 7:30 this morning
Eighty six men were then At work,
only three of the number being able
70 reach the outside.
Following the explosion, after
damp prevaded the entire workings
and it was impossible for any immedi
ate rescue work to be begun.
Deputy State Mine Inspector Nit
chcll arrived from Bluefield an hour
after the explosion occurred. Miners
who had worked during the night and
were then in their homes were brought
to the mines and organized into res
cue parties.
Because of the deadly after damp,
in which no human being can live for
an instant, it was impossible for the
would be rescuers to get farther than
a few hundred feet from the opening.
An appeal for help to the United
States Bureau of Mines is to be sent
1t is expected that Chief Holmes,
of the Bureau of Mines will be rushed
here with the government rescue
crew, which is equipped with an ap-
paratus to enable men to enter all
parts Of the workings.
Whether any of the so men are
alive is problematical. Experienced
miners say that there is chance
that some of them may have escaped
the explosion and reached L part OF
the mine not penetrated BY the after
damp.
If this is the case, Brattices may
have been thrown up b. them to pre-
vent the gases from fouling the air.
Under these conditions the men could
live for several hours and perhaps
for days. 1t is recalled that at Brice
vile, Tenn, entombed miners in this
way fought the approach of the after
damp and were rescued more than
forly-eight hours after the explosion
occurred. The entire output of the Jed
Mine is taken by the United States
Steel Corporation. Most Of the coal
is shipped over the Norfolk and Wes-
tern Railroad TO Marion, Ind.

The first notice made after c0nven-
ing today was by counsel for Floyd

ticipation in the murders. Attorney
r. II. Willis asked for dismissal OF
attachments, filed by heirs Of those
who died in the courtroom shooting,
against the property of the Aliens
Judge Staples refused to entertain the
motion holding that due notice OF
such action would have to he filed in
advance with counsel for the plain
tiffS.
Attorney Willis declared that the
attachments were improperly served
because being made out on nsutilcl-
ent grounds. The attachments have
been filed by the widows of Common
wealth's Attorney Foster, Sheriff Lew
Webb, and Judge Massie, claiming
$40 900 in each instance under the Vir
ginia statute.
Willis attacked these liens on the
ground that they were not bona tide,
but merely war measures. Inc
