.RESCUERS FIGHT ID SAVE 16 MEN TRAPPED IN MINE
Shaftless Coal Mine Affords Only l Opening Whereby Imprisoned May Be Saved

EARLINGTON, Ky, Nov. 16.-Fire near the opening of the Arnold mine one-half mile east of here, has entrap- ped 16 men and with the conflagra- eion growing in extent little hope is held of rescuing them.
 The fire, discovered late today, was started from defective wiring in room near the opening and quickly spread. The mine is a drift mine with no shafts, making rescue pos sible only through the one opening The fire can be heard blazing under the ground and smoke is pouring forth in large volumes.
 The men entrapped three white men and thirteen negroes are three miles back from the entrance and it is feared that they will suffocate from the smoke. Any attempt at rescue thus far had been without result and an effort is Eow being made to re- verse the air through the air shaft to keep the smoke from the miners.
 The mine is owned by the St. Der nard Oil company of Evansville, Ind.
 Late tonight when the fire had been raging almost seven hours, mine officials held little hope of rescuing the entombed miners alive It was feared that they were already dead, due to Suffocation. The rescue work CTS, however, expressed the belief that the men might still be alive if they were able to barricade themselves against the smoke.
 Trained rescue crews from the West Kentucky Coal Company of Sturgis, Ky, few miles away. arrived tonight and are working with the St. Der nard Company rescue corps.
 All other attempts at rescuing be- ing without result, work was begun at 1. o'clock tc tunnel around the fire affected part of the mine and in this way reach the entombed srnin- CTS. The opening of tie mine caved in. thus shutting off the air opening and allowing less smoke to escape from the air
 If the entombed man can be at- tracted to an airshaft where the men can be furnished air this course will be pursued. Officials of the mining company express little hope in finding the men alive even should their rescue be effec3ed immediately. Most Of the entombed are mar i lied.
