TERRIFIC EXPLOSION SNUFFS

DISASTER OCCURRED AT JED
COAL MINE, NEAR
BLUEFlELD.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Bluefield, w. Va.--Eighty-two men
were killed by a gas explosion in the
Jed Coal & Coke Company's mine at
Jed, w. Va, about six miles from here.
Only eleven men escaped alive, and
one of these died within an hour after
being brought to the surface.
Thirty-three bodies have, been locat-
ed and the rescuers hope to have
them out shortly.
When the explosion took place prob
ably the eleven men working at the
foot of the shaft had a chance for
their lives. They readily made their
way up the cages which We're not

of the fans were shattered they con-

enough air was present to admit
searching parties Immediately.
Less than half an hour after the
news of the explosion had been COM
municated to this place relief meas

and other appliances were rushed from
the plant of the United States Coal e
Coke Company, United States Steel
Corporation mine nearby; a govern
ment mine rescue car en- route to
Huntington, W. Va, was turned back
on telegraphic orders from Washing
ton and another car was started from
Pittsburg. The experts Immediately
conceded that all in the mine were
dead
State mine inspectors organized res
cue parties and began the exploration
of levels. AS the gases were cleared
out and they began searches of the
the miners, killed almost instantly.
Other mines nearby sent experienced
foremen to lead hundreds of volun-
teer rescuers who flocked to the scene
as the news spread about the country
side.
The mine was inspected recently
and pronounced safe.
Preliminary investigations have not
divulged the cause of the explosion.
Some local mine men are inclined to
regard it as physical phenomenon.
Barometers in this vicinity have
been showing unusually low readings
for the last week without the usual
atmospheric changes.
The families of the dead find them
selves in sore straits. Work has been
slack at the mine. Outside aid will be
asked.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 6.-There is a general
feeling of relief now that the royal
command" music hall performance is
over. though the squabbles and Ill feeling
1t aroused will simmer for many a long
day. The chief cause Of the dissension
was Lieut.. Col. Sir William Darlington,
controller and treasurer to the Prince of
Wales and extra equerry to the king since
1901 He had charge of the program and
could veto or include what acts he
pleased, and very intractable he proved.
Sir William is a gentleman Of sixty
seven, soaked in the traditions of the
Victorian court and inwardly regarded
with horror and aversion the idea df
their majesties attending anything so
vulgar as a music hall. 1t Is said that
some very acrimonious correspondence
passed between him and Alfred Butt. the
palace theater manager and moving
spirit of the committee.
One Of the most notable names absent
from the program was that OF Marie
Lloyd. Sir William, at Mr.. Butts re-
quest, heard the lady and appears to
have sent Butt q very unpleasant letter
as the result OF his experience. Never
theless the popular artists admirers are
convinced that she is much too sensible
TO have entered on anything outre on
the occasion. Another inexpicable omis-
sion was that of Adeline Genee. who is
adored here by all music hall audiences.

PARIS, July LET us smash the in
fanny, Let US smash the infamy,"
This Is the shibboleth that has been re-
sounding through the legislative and
municipal halls of Paris during the last
few days. The infamy referred to is the
coming of the necessities of the people
into gold by speculation. especially in
wheat. -four and sugar
1t is calculated that there will be a
bread famine in Paris by July II, and the
municipal council OF Paris recommends
that the communes of France buy UP the
supplies of wheat. -four and sugar, so
that their people may not be charged
famine prices by spectators. This follows
closely the doctrine preached recently by
the socialist leader NJ. Jaures whose ad-
yocacy of similar purchase by the ma
ton for the benefit of the people was
recently presented.
From the whole discussion In the cham
Der, senate and city council. it is quite
clear that specula tion Is the enemy of the
people. Georges Berry, deputy for Paris,
a man whose name stands for civic ytr-
tue, says:
AT Touion. Bordeaux and Limoges the
municipal councils ask how long they will
be able TO give bread to the population.
Thus we may have shortage of bread
all over France any day. We must not
shut our eyes so as not to see. nor close
our ears so as not to hear. The SITUATE
is all the more serious because In France
bread Is the basis of all sustenance and
