MINERS ENTOMBED BY
PREMATURE EXPLOSION
ACCORDING TO MINE OFFICIALS S
LIGHTNING WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE EXPLOSION.

Virginia, Mimi, June 27-Rescuers
working in the levels of the wrecked
Silver, open pit mine, destroyed to-
day by premature explosion of more
than thirty tons of dynamite and black
powder, tonight had taken out three
miners alive, but unconscious, and
had located five others entombed in
a cave by the blast who reported
through air pipes that they were in
jured, probably lot fatally.
Officials of the d. r. Hanna comp
any, owners of the mine, reported to-
night that twenty-nine men had been
entombed but say the exact number
of dead probably will not be known
until the entire pit has been explored
by rescue parties.
One body already has been recov =
cred.
According to mine officials, light
ming was responsible for the explos
ion. Lapge quantities of dynamite
and powder had been stored in the
mine in preparation for big blast
next Saturday. An electric wire had
heen strung to the places where the
blasts were to be set but had not been
connected It is believed that the
lightning after striking the wire leap
ed from the unattachedend to the
powder which touched off the dyna-

Washington, June 27-Various
plans for extending American aid to
Russia in the effort to bring her back
into the war are still in the stages
OF consideration and before being
put into operation will require a
sleat deal OF consultation between
the American government and the
allies. The revival of the plan of
sending material aid and accompany
ing this with sufficient forces to
! safeguard these resources from fall
ing into the hands of the Germans
depends for its execution upon the
approval OF the allies and also on the
consent and approval OF the Russian
people in the districts which would
be affected.
President Wilson is being inform
ed of the details of the situation
through many confidential sources
and also has the benefit Of the infor-
uation at the disposal of the allied
governments
The president might take steps to
gather information through the
agency Of a special mission or inves-
tigator This, however is among
number Of possibilities for which
there is no indication to show which
is most favored
1t has been suggested the govern
ment might take a visit from the for
mon. f,,-a1,far TraY.ua1-f- g., tIo Ir.,ft..
States as a means of informing it,
self of intimate details. A visit from
the former premier was today still an
unsettled question.
There are some differences Of
opinion among the friends of Russia
in Washington as to whether confer
ences between American officials
and Kerensky would be advisable
one of the plans which was pro-
posed to administration advisors
some time ago by Americans closely
convoIsant with the Russian situa-
tion provides that the chief aid to be
extended by the United States shall
be purely OF a civil and non military
nature and Of such character as to
leave no opportunity for German
propagandists to mislead the Russian
masses into the misconception that
the United States was seeking ad-
vantages for itself
Meanwhile the president is giving
constant study to the problem and is
avaiIing himself of the best infor-
nation and judgment his close ad-
visors can bring to him.

WHISKEY COULD Be SOLD

Prohibition Leaders Are Confident Of
the Passage of the Measure When
Voted on in the Senate-Seeretar
of Navy Daniels Was Strong Advo-
cate for Prohibition.

Washington, June 27.-Carrying an
amendment providing for national
prohibition as a war measure but not
fully effective until June /, 1919, the
eleven million dollar agricultural ap-
preparation bill was reported late to-
day to the senate, The present plan
is to call it up after the army bill is
disposed of. The prohibition amend
ment offered by Senator Norris of Ne
braska, is a substitute for that by
Senator Jones, OF Washington, was
adopted by the senate agricultural
committee. 1t prohibits the sale OF
distilled spirits and the manufacture
of wine or the removal of liquors now
held in bond after June 30, 1919.
The manufacture of beer would be
stopped three months after the pass
age of the bill. The amendment was
approved by the committee at three
hour session during which opponents
made futile efforts to have it amend
ed to permit the manufacture and sale
Of beer for six and then four montas
after enactment. Efforts to have the
committee recommend passage of
prohibition legislation in a separate
measure also were unsuccessful.
Extensive hearings on the question
of prohibition during the war were
held by the committee. The propos-
al was opposed and approved by high
government officials and others.
Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge
Colby, of the shipping board, were
among the chief opponents.
Secretary Danils disagreed with
the view of shipping board officials
Mr.. Daniels, who did not appear as
an advocate of prohibition, but at the
request Of the committee, said that
after the sale of liquor was pro
hibited around the Mare Island navy
yard and the Newport torpedo sta
tiOn the workmen showed greater
efficiency, the outputs of both plans
increasing He said this increased
efficiency was further indicated by
the record launching of a torpedo
boat destroyer at the Mare Island
yard in II IL days after the keel was
laid
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, and
other prohibition leaders were conf
dent tonight of the passage of the
prohibition amendment. They said
that since the senate last year adopt
ed by a two thirds vote the resolu-
ton to submit to the state a prohi-
bition constitutional amendment a
majority vote in favor of the pro-
posal easily could be secured. OPP
ponents, however, expected a strong
fight to be made in view of the fact
that the constitutional amendment
now is awaiting action by the states.

FIGHT TO Be RENEWED
IN SENATE NEXT WEEK
Opponents of the Measure Are
Charged With Fillbusterine to Pre-
vent Vote Because Of the Absence
of Senator James of Kentucky.

Washington, June 27.-Efforts to
bring the house resolution proposing
submission OF the equal suffrage
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton to vote in the senate today
failed.
After three hours of debate and
preliminary jockeying before crowded
galleries the resolution was with
drawn by its managers, but with a
promise the next week the fight
would be renew ed and forced to a
conclusion. Some Of its supporters,
however, expressed belief that action
might be postponed indefinitely.
Charges that unfair advantage was
sought were exchanged by leaders OF
both sides. Managers of the resolu-
ton charged its opponents with fill
clustering to prevent vote because,
with Senator James, of Kentucky, alb
sent, the former lacked votes to de-
feat the resolution.
The date next week on which the
resolution will be called up, Senator
Jones said tonight depended upon
clearance of appropriation and other
bills in preparation for the recess.
He and other suffrage leaders de-
clared they would prevent recess
until the resolution is disposed of and
expressed confidence Of its final
adoption.
Few set speeches on the resolution
were made. The senate debate pro-
ceeded until two o'clock when the
army appropriation bill automatically
was laid before the senate. Senator
Jones then moved to set it aside and
proceed with the suffrage resolution.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, In the
debate on the motion declared refusal
of the suffrage leaders to arrange a
pair for Senator James demonstrated
that the first fruits OF suffrage are
to set aside courtesies and decencies,"
of senate procedure and then spoke
for nearly an hour and a half, mostly
on the army bill
chairman JbAtSg VI lHt SeUdl9
woman suffrage committee, made an
effort to force vote by moving to
hold the resolution before the senate
and dlsplace the s12,000,0O0 army ap-
preparation bill. The resolution was
withdrawn
Senator Jones said he withdrew his
motion only until after the important
supply bills are passed.
This resolution" he added. "then
will be brought before the senate and
kept before. the senate in face of any
attempt of recess of congress for the
summer The senate then proceeded
with consideration of the army bill.
Alice Paul. chairman of the National
Woman's party, in a statement to-
night, charged Presidnt Wilson with
responsibility for the failure to se-
cure a vote.
''We face this second postponement
only because President Wilson failed
to work with sufficient earnestness
and determination for the amend
ment," said the statement rs his

New York, June 21.-'With the re-
turn of almost normal conditions on
the italian front and with no indica-
tions apparent that it is the intention
olAthe Austrans in the immediate flu
ture to launch another stroke against
General Diazs army. the eyes of the
world are being centered once more IN
expectancy on the battle front in
France and Flanders as the possible
theater Of early encounters on a
large scale.
This expectancy is heightened by
the utterances Of David Lloyd George
the British prime minister, in the
house of commons Monday, when he
said another enemy attack might be
looked for, possibly within a few
hours and certainly within the next
few days-a blow on which the issue
of the campaign might Representatives,
than by any outward signs OF great
preparations by the Germans to loose
their armies for another attempt at
the capture Of Paris, or the channel
ports.
Although the infantry operations,
except by the Americans in the Bel
leau wood, have scarcely risen in i'm
portance above patrol encounters re
Gently. nevertheless the Germans are
trying out with their artillery the
stability Of the British and French po-
sitions on various sectors from Flan-
ders to the region of the Marne.
Southwest OF Armentiers on the
river Lys sector and between Given
chy and Robecq, the British lines have
been heavily shelled with guns OF all
calibre and with considerable num-
bers of gas proiectiles.l The French
have been receiving yisitauons be
tween the Disc and Aisne rivers es-
pecially in the region north OF Vii
lers-Cotterets. where the recent Ger
man offensive reached its greatest
depth in the attempted dash to Paris.
1t is expected the next offensive
win be started and carried out in an
ambitious manner for it seemingly is
realized that time now is working
against German arms in the west ami
haste is necessary This fact appar-
emily is being deeply impressed upon
the German high command, especially
as 1t is daily Witnessing the arrival of
more Americans on the battle front
and is becoming to realize they are
foemen OF the highest merit
For the movement the Germans
seem resigned to their loss to the
Americans OF the Belleau wood,
northwest of Chateau Thierry. No
counter attacks have been made in an
endeavor to regain the lost ground.
The latest account OF the American
victory shows that the troops from
overseas, in addition to killing or
Mounding many of the enemy, took
31l prisoners, IL machine guns and 10
automatic rifles and a large quantity
OF ammunition and other war stores.
All is quiet along the Piaye front
in the Italian theater, where the
Italians are secure in the positions
in which they drove the Austrian5
from the western bank of the river.
In the mountain region there has been
considerable fighting in which the
Italians seem to have had the upper
hand
Announcement has been made by
Secretary of War Baker that regi-
ment of American troops from the eX-
peditionary forces of General Per
shing has been ordered to the Italian
front. On their arrival which is
expected to arrive shortly the Aus
trians will have men facing them
from Italy, Great Britain. France and
the United States.

CUTS FLOUR RATION
German Government Orders a
Considerable Reduction.
Official Bulletin Says curtailment is
Made so That fseeds of People
May Be Met.

Amsterdam, May 20.-A cut In the
flour ration from 200 to 100 grams
daily, beginning June 6, has been
ordered by the German food depart
ment, according to advices from Ber-
lin.
The announcement by the depart
ment breaks the news to the German
people by saying:
while the supply of promised
grain from Ukrain can certainly be
reckoned upon, 1t Is uncertain wheth-
er such supplies will reach Germany
in large amounts before this years
harvest. The reduction Is made in or.
der to be quite certain of meeting
the peoples need"
The addition of 10 per cent of po-
tato flour Is to be permitted. This
means that the normal bread ration OF
about two grams daily, with an ex.
ira allowance to workmen, will be
continued. The ration will be re
stored after the harvest, II the ar
rival OF supplies does not permit this
sooner. To make up for the reduc
tion of bread ration, the sugar ration
will be doubled and the distribution
OF greats and corn flour will be In
creased.
