Of the 9S men believed to have been in the mine, only nine escaped from a high level Eleven bodies have been re- covered. Little hope is entertained that any of the 7S entombed men will, be rescued alive.
 The nine who were rescued were on the 500 foot level and did not hear the explosion but, warned by smoke, they ran for the cage. Joseph Lahey, Belgian boy who was found at the bottom of the shaft, was kept alive by pulmotor but died after being brought to the surface.
 The violence of the explosion blew the cage up the huge shaft and drove mine timbers 200 feet long the levels. New Glasgow, N. S., Jan. 24.-It was feared today that all the miners inn prisoned in the Allan shaft of the i.Acadia Coal Co., near here, as a re- suit of the explosion late yesterday, l had perished. The dead, it is be- Iieved, will number 90.

 TERROR AGENTS

At the request of the department of justice, Thomas Farrell, 221 Water street and Chester E. Stephens, of 121 Blakeman place, Stratford, were held by the police under bonds of $1,OOO each until January g.. Both men are said to be under suspicion as being implicated in the recent widespread Hun plot to terrorize the country with a campaign of sabotage.
 Chester E. Stephens was arrested yesterday, it was said. because he had overstayed his leave of absence from the naval station at Newport, and had made the railroad depot his home for the past couple of weeks. He claimed when apprehended that he did not have the money to return to Newport and was ashamed to go home.
 Now it is said that his motives had a more sinister aspect and that he was taken into custody by Federal agents upon information that he was implicated with others in a plot the extent of which is not fully exposed as yet.
 Little can be learned of the man Farrell, but it is intimated that he is supposed to be dangerous prisoner and one of the many important cap lures made within recent times by the federal agents working in Bridge port.

ATilIers, whole salers, retailers and bakers prob ably will be required to hold their their sales of flour down to 75 per cent. of the amount now handled.
 As the Allies are demanding from 75,000,00O to 100000 900 more bush- els of wheat, the food administration has arranged to take over 30 per cent. of Americas flour production, out of which will be selected supplies for export.

The Russians asked the terms of the Central powers in regard to the territory south of Brest- -Litovsk. Gen. Hoffman replied that was a question that they would discuss only with Ukraine. M. Kameneff, a member of the Russian delegation, asked:
 "Supposing we do rot agree to sucb conditions. What are you going to do?"
 Gen. Hoffman's answer is reported to have been: Within a week, then. we would occupy Reval'
 The Russians then asked for a re- cess, which was granted reluctantly. The Germans declared it was the last postponement to which they would consent. The request was made bv Leon Trotzky, head of the Russian delegation5 who said he desired an opportunity to lay the German peace terms before the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates.
 The negotiations between the Ukrai- nians and the Central powers are proceeding amicably. The Austrians offered to cede Cholmatchina to the ukra1nian republic, but only on con- dition that the Ukrain:ans send grain and other food stuffs to the Central powers immediately on the conclusion of peace.

 OF R,R, CROSSING
 CRASH IS DEAD
Thursday. Jan, 24

Early this morning at the Bridge port hospital Frederick Weidlieh suc- cumbed to the terrible injuries last night when his brother Ernest was instantly killed and the auto in which both had been riding was smashed by a fast moving train at the cross ing of the Housataonic railroad tracks on North avenue.
 This makes the third member of the Weidlich family which death has claimed in railroad accidents, another brother, Charles, being killed when a trolley overturned at Ash Creek about 10 years ago.
 Both men were members of the Weidlich Manufacturing Co. and re- sided with their mother at 62S Will liam street They were in a closed sedan car and according ito witnesses before Coroner Phelan, were unable to hear the violent blasts which the siren of the onrushing locomotive was emitting while approaching the cross- ing.
 The stories before the coroner diff fer somewhat. Engineer Burns and Fireman Wohn. saying that the auto passed east in front of the train while Stephen Barrett and Arthur L. Hazen. who witnessed the accident, said that | the machine came north on Lindley street and turned into the train to proceed west. ; Engineer Burns stated that he did not see the auto until he was almost l upon it, and then applied the brakes with such force that the engine stop ped in it's own length, but too late tc prevent the tragedy. He also said that a trolley car and another ma,
 chine had crossed ahead of the Weld | lich car.

known last night that it was opposed to any sidetracking of the test by means of parliamentary technicali- ties Those who know the President best say that his attitude yesterday is very like it was at the time of the McLemore resolution, when he in sisted that the matter be fought out in the open. If he has any reason to believe that the situation in the Sen ate today will not be effective in set ting finally the points at issue it is possible that he vii compel a vote to be reached so that a record may be made. In fact, it can be said that he regrets that this method is not likely to be followed, for his conf dence in the conditions is such that he is quite willing to give the widest opportunity to his opponents.
 Last night it was admitted that the air had been cleared and that the President had succeeded in making plain that he purposes to exercise the executive function alone. His willing ness to put the question to a pubhc fest has silenced, for the time, many Of the critics who have been focus sing their attention upon the need of war cabinet.
 In the debate that will follow Chamberlain's speech some of the facts that have made the President so firm in his belief that the War Department has done a good job will probably be brought out. But many of the things that MT. Wilson told his Senatorial callers Monday night are of a secret nature and cannot be re- vealed, however impressive they might be in swinging back public s1Inport to the war office.

 In order to avert confusion Collector Smith will not enforce Home Guards. men to pay the tax until City Attor- ney Comlev studies the matter and is- sues an official ruling.

ing for the war last year, he has since
consistently opposed all administra-

our success, and looking to the early
end of the struggle, and showed that

followed out We would soon be follow
ing the same course OF action which
the Bolshevists introduced in to Rus

ton of our governmental machinery
industrial enterprises, and political CO.
herency. and bring ruin to us like
that which has resulted to Russia.
