OFFICERS MAKE
INVESTIGATION
OF MINE BLAST
Eighty-Three Killed and Fifty
Injured, Final Estimate Of
Disaster Says.
tBy Associated Press)

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June e.
State and local authorities TODAY
were conducting separate investiga-
Elons into the explosin in a tunnel of
the Delaware and Hudson coal COM
pany yesterday that cost the lives of
clghty-three men and the injury of
Ifty others. A large number of the
injured were seriously burned and
manned and it is feared many of
them cannot recover.
There was a difference of opinion
as to the exact cause of the acct
dent which occurred while the men
were on their way to work in a train
OF fourteen mine cars drawn by an
electric motor. In the middle of the
train were two cars containing seven
kegs of black powder. According to
survivors, the overhead trolley wire
sagged when the train had penetrated
the tunnel about 200 feet and touched
a steel powder key, forming a short
circuit and setting off the powder.
Officials of the company, after an in
vestigation, expressed the opinion
that steel bar or drill carried by
one of the men came in contact with
the wire forming the short circuit
which caused the powder to give way
Deny Law Violations.
Early reports that the mine laws
had been violated by carrying men
and explosives on the same train
were denied by Herbert Button, chair
man of the state bureau Of mines.
Mr.. Button said the state mine code
contained no regulations on the trans
portation of explosives. He declared
this was grieyous omission and
that he would issue regulations on
his own responsibility which would
check careless methods and insist
that they be obeyed until they can
be enacted into laws
Scores of women and children were
made widows and orphans by the dis |
aster. which was said to be the great |
est in the history of this section of |
the anthracite field A number of |
funds have been started by local re
lief organizations to aid those who |
are in need of assistance.

Loost, Credited With Tue
Offcia. Citations. Spent
Years in No Mans Land
on Scopes of rsrdun Pro-
tec1ing Outposts from, Ger
mon Raiders and Patrols.
II tbs airmen were the eyes OF
he army. this dog was the ears Of
at least q patt Of it. For two years
he lay every night out in No Mans
Land, watching and listening for
German patrols and raiding parties.
His name is Loost, and as a
real veteran Of the war he has two
citations to his credit for having
saved French troops from surprise
attacks by Hun patrols on the out
er defences Of Verdun. So acute is
Loost's hearing that he could detect
sappers trying to tunnel under the
French trenches, gift that enabled
MIN several times to spoil the plans
OF the German engineers.
After the armistice was signed.
Loost came into the hands of the
French War Dog Society which en-
couraged the breeding Of such dogs
long before the war and later has
taken care Of those animals which
became disabled or too old to be
longer ut for active work. It was
while he was guest" Of the So
ciety that Loost met his present
