MORE THAN 50 DEAD
IN NINE BLAST
Thirty of94 Men Entombed Near
SpangIer, Pa, Saved
WORK GOES ON
Toll Taken by Gas-Hodies Scattered
Through Mine For Dis
rance OF 500
Feet.

Spangler, Pa.-More than so miners
are believed to have lost their lives
in an explosion in Reilly Mine of the
Reilly Coal Company near here.
Thirty blanched survivors of the
explosion, most of them young men,
lay on double row of cots in the
miners hospital here anxiously watch
ing the entrance to the big room.
They were the known survivors of the
"a miners who went into the mine
a few minutes before terrific ex-
plosion. The exact number of dead
was still undetermined, although it
was the opinion of trained rescue
leaders that perhaps fifty or sixty had
lost their lives.
Their vigil began when the first
eight were brought to the hospital.
The entrance Of stretcher-bearers
meant that another comrade had been
dragged from an underground sea of
gas.
At 7.20 O'Clock A. M. the explosion
occurred in the heart of the mine. AS
soon as miners from neighboring pits
could reach the mine preliminary work
of rescue began and it was supple
mented later in the day by trained
engineers from the United States Bua
reau of Mines in Pittsburgh and the
rescue crews Of neighboring mines.
The rescue men all told the same
story as they came to the surface.
They declared that bodies were scat
tered through the workings for more
than 500 feet.
"The sad part of it," said one sturdy
miner, sis that at least 20 of the
victims were within a hundred feet
of fresh air when they were overcome
by the gas"
Men, women and children by the
score crowded the police lines near
the shaft. Many of them had been
there since they heard of the ex-
plosion early in the day, and there
was no indication they would leave
their posts until the last body had
been brought out.
On the cot of honor at the hospital
rests a youth of %. His name is Abe
Craig His GOODNESS saved at least a
dozen lives.
There isn't much to TELL" said
Craig. 1--WE went down at Z o'clock
and entered heading No. 10 on the
left. A few minutes later there was
crash. told the boys that meant
cave-in, and we had better get out.
Then there was rush of gas. Luck
lily our door was open, or the explo-
sion would have knocked it down. /
slammed it, and about rs of us wait
ed to see what would happen.
Outside there were yells, and one
of our gang shouted to tell them
there was fresh air in our place. I
opened the door, and three or four
men staggered in. The boys rushed
out and dragged in others. We re-
vived them.
"Then looked out again. All /
could see was bodies. The after
damp was rolling through the head
ing. / jumped inside and closed the
door. There was nothing to do but.
wait for rescuers."

MISSOURI.

st. Louis.-James A. Reed, Demo
cratic candidate for reelection to the
United States Senate, was leading his
Republican opponent, R. r. Brewster,
by 9,S46 votes in 6S7 precincts out of
the 1878 of the State on the face of
the returns. Many precincts, normal
ly heavily Republican, gave the Demo-
cratic nominee large majorities, indi-
eating much scratching, especially in
the towns. This was attributed part
ly to Reeds open espousal of the.
cause of the 'wets" and Brewster's
straight prohibition enforcement cam
paign. The votes stood Reed 6S,S16,
Brewster $3.50.

Wilmington.-United States Senator
Coleman du Pont has been elected by
small majority. The way in which
the home folks in Sussex county cut

himself, and the united way in which
the negroes of Wilmington opposed
the Congressman indicate that he is
beaten. Former Judge VIM. H! Boyce,

Swiss Parliament Will Not Get Arms
Pact, League Is Told.
Geneva.-The League Of Nations
has just been notified by the Swiss
Government that the latter feels it is
obliged to abandon its original inten-
ton of submitting the St. Germain
arms convention to the Swiss Parlia-
ment.
The reason given is that the re-
fusal of the United States to sign will
nullify the entire convention, which
represented the first serious interna-
tional effort to limit the private man
ufacture of arms.
League officials hope that the United
States Government, having expressed
sympathy with the Leagues aims in
this respect, will promptly consent to
indicate what are its specific objec>
tions to the st. German text.

RHODE ISLAND.

Providence-With a lead of 4,544
in 105 districts out of 1874, Senator
Peter G. Gerry, OF Rhode Island, is
deemed practically aSwinner over R.
Livingston Beeckman, his Republican
opponent. The remaining districts to
be heard from are for the most part
Democratic strongholds and for this
reason Gerry is held to be the fav-
orite.

Washington.-The returns for Unit
ed States Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress in Tuesdays nation
wide election indicates that the Demo-
Gratis have made substantial gains in
both Houses.
In the State Of New York the cleo
tom of former Governor AL Smith,
Democrat, by majority Of 100000
over Governor Miller, the Republican
incumbent, is conceded.
A second surprise for the New York
Republicans was the defeat of United
States Senator Calder by DIR. Royal
s. Copeland, Democrat, New. York
City.
With half the precincts in Massa-
chusetts counted, Senator Lodge was
running behind CASTOR, Democrat,
$3.50 votes.
Governor Edwards has big lead on
Senator Frelinghuysen for Senator in
New Jersey, returns from 1872 dis
tricts out Of 2,464, giving Edwards
109,654; Frelinghuysen, 89,60S.
There were a number of surprises
and turnovers in the Congressional
elections, but the Republicans will
retain control Of both houses, al
though by a reduced majority. A not
able victory for the Democrats was
the election of Cordell Hull, chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, who was elected from Tennessee
over the Republican incumbent.
Another unexpected development
was the defeat of Meyer London, of
New York, the only Socialist in the
House. Still another was the failure
of all the women candidates to be
elected.

LEASES ROYAL PRESERVE.
Former Playground OF Hapsburss Con-
tains 10000 Acres.

Ischl, Tyrol.-The magnificent game
preserves here which belonged to the
late Emperor Francis Joseph have
been leased to John G. Won Herberg,
said to be moving-picture producer
of Seattle, Wash.
The park, which comprises 10000
acres, is situated in one of the most
picturesque sections of the Tyrolean
Highlands. 1t is we'll stocked with
game and fish, and is famous for the
two chateaux on it which in pre-war
days were popular rendezvous for
Francis Joseph, Emperor William of
Germany and Emperor Nicholas, of
Russia. Ischl before the war always
was the playground for Hapsburg
royalty.

United States Senator by an over
whelming plurality. Returns indicate
that all 10 Congressional districts
have been carried by the Democrats.
The Seventh and Ninth districts
were alone in doubt, and T. w. Har-
rison, in the Seventh, has defeated
John Paul, his Republican rival, by
from 5000 to 5000 votes.
Returns indicate that Swanson
swept all 10 districts. His regular
Republican rival, ]. Williamson Nc
Gavock, who lives in the Ninth, nor
mally Republican, received good
vote there. McGavock, also apparent
ly received good vote in the Seventh.
Indications are that the negro Re-
publican candidate, Matt N. Lewis,
ran far behind McGavock.
But few negroes were observed at
the polls here, and reports from over
the State indicated that they turned
out very poorly in other sections.
1t was a foregone conclusion that
the Democrats would carry all dis
tricts except the Seventh and Ninth
in the balloting for 10 Congressman,
and as the returns began coming in
it was apparent that they had gone
over the top in accordance with pre-
vious forecasts.
The other Democratic Congressman
assured of election were: A. j. Mon
tague, Third district; P. H. Drewfy,
Fourth district; ]. Murray Hooker,
Fifth district; c. A. Woodrum, Sixth
district; r. Walton Moore, Eighth dis
trict, and Harry st. George Tucker,
Tenth district.
The proposal to hold a constitutional
convention to revise the organic law
of the State apparently lost by a
large margin. Democratic leaders for
the most part opposed it and the Re-
publicans, while supposedly in favor
Of it, were lukewarm in their support.

ADMISSION CHARGE
FOR GOLF JOURNEYS
Fee Becoming Necessary to Re-
duce Size Of Gallery at
Championships.

Special Dispatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.--within the next
three years an admission fee is to be
charged for national golf tournaments,
not as a revenue producer but to reduce
the size of galleries, according to rumors
prevalent to-day.
Enthusiasts have sought long to avoid
the question of admission fees, as they
dislike the commercial atmosphere
which it lends. but like all pertinent
matters, tho fee problem could not be
forever overlooked.
During the last few years. with the
constantly increasing public interest in
golf. the galleries at the national open
Journeys have been growing larger un-
iii they have become so unwieldy that
the players often have ben retarded as
they were going over the course. To
appreciate the difficulty encountered in
handling a large gallery, one should
have served at least five minutes in the
capacity of rope holder during the finals
of a national tourney: there could be
no more convincing argument.
Golf solons in the United States be-
lieve If the admission fee were to be
authorized in the 1922 national open the
number of spectators would be reduced
materially. Doubts may arise here,
however, when one stops to consider the
interest n the golf fan who Is not en-
tirely TO be discouraged by the fee. Sew
eral years OF study might be required 10
determine just what will keep the
crowds away.
