Bluefield, w. Va, April 17.-After
the lower reaches of the Pocohontas
mine at Davy, in which an explosion
occurred this morning, had been thor.
oughly explored by rescuers this after.

the poisonous gasses, they tore at the
dirt and fallen timbers which imprison-
ed them. Three died before the obstruc-
ton was removed, Three escaped. Res.
cuers, equipped with smoke and gas
helmets, who arrived at noon after IA
record run in a special train from Will
hanson. found the three staggering
blindly near the foot of the main shaft.
They were borne to safety.
The five rescuers reported dead in
the mine emerged safely,

tombed were denied by officials Of the
company, who asserted that the mine
was but slightly injured by the ex.

States government mine rescue car, Res.
cuers flocked from dozen nearby
towns, volunteering aid.

Virgie LaGrand Held To BE
Legally Committed To
Industrial School
CASE MAY GO TO
THE SUPREME COURT
Decision Operates To Hold
Good Indictment Against
James LaCrand

Raising his decision on the section
of the Oregon code that reads, " All
female persons shall DE deemed TO have
arrived at age of majority upon their
being married according to law" Judge
William Galloway held this morning
that virgie LaGrand was legally com
mitted to the state training school for
girls by Municipal Judge Stevenson of
Multnomah county and dismissed the
petition for q writ Of habeas corpus
asked for by Virgie LaGrand, ex rel.
James LaGrand VS.. the state of Ore
gon. This decision, if upheld by the
supreme court, will operate to hold good
the indictment against James lnGrand,
who is charged with assisting the girl
to escape from the school.
Judge Galloway explained that, ac.
cordng to this Interpretation, although
the girl was not yet Is in actual years
yet the law deems she has come to her
majority. He said this was a new in.
depreciation of the law and expected
that It would be taken TO the supreme
court for further decision.
Question Is New One,
The question, saAN the court was 0
new one and an important one, anC
involved more than the present case
According to the Judges decision, Vir
gle LaGrand was legally committed tC
the training school by Judge Steven,
and therefore any attempt to aid her il
escaping was penitentiary Offense
with which offensc James LaGrand, tn,
husband Of the girl, is charged by tn,
grand jury. The petition for u wri
Of habeas corpus, as argued for by
Albert b. Ferrera prominent Italian
! lawyer Of Portland, was asked for il
order to compel the quashing of an in
dictment against James LaGrand, VIII,
is charged with aiding her to escap,
from the institution about month ago
1t was held by Attorney Ferreri
that as she was under eighteen year
only Judge Gatcns of the juvenile
court could handle the case and that
commitment by Judge Stevenson wa
wrongful and not legal us the circu
court did not have jurisdiction. If !
was held that Judge Stevens did no
have jurisdiction then the commitmen
was illegal and aiding the girl to escap,
was no crime
II will be remembered that the cir
was married to James LnGrand whei
she was 10 years old with the consen
Of her mother and that she went I,
live with her husband at his father
home. Later she left her husband an,
was arrested for yagrancy and commit
ted to the Girls Industrial traininl
school for three years. Several week.
ago she escaped and got as far a.
Donald where she was picked up ant
taken to Oregon city in an automobile
There James laGrand fought with tn,
police Officers and was arrested aud thu
