SIXTY KILLED IN
 MINE EXPLOSION
LITTLE HOPE HELD FOR ThoeE STILL CONFINED IN COAL
 SHAFT.
SAVED FROM SEA OF GAS
DRAMATIC STORY OF FIGHT FOR LIFE TOLD BY SUR-
 VIVORS.

Spangler, Pa.-Between fifty anC sixty miners were killed in the Reilly mine of the Reilly Coal Company, neal Spangler, according to an official esti mate made public by rescue workers and company officials. Exploration ot the workings by trained rescuers is be ing continued
 Thirty pale and weary survivors from the Reilly Coal Company's mine a double TOW of cots in the miners hospital anXiously watching the en- trance to the big room. They were the known survivors of the ninety four miners who went into the mine q few minutes before terrific eXplO- sion occurred. 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.
 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 supplemented later in the day by trained engineers from the United States bureau of mines in Pittsburg 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 300 feet.
 ''The sad part of it." said one sturdy miner, ''is that at least twenty of the victims were within hundred feet of fresh air when they were overcome by the gas"
 Every effort was being made to To- cate all of the living. As soon as that has been done the work of removing the dead will commence. 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 explosion, and there was no in dication they would leave their posts -untiI the rrast body had been brought out. On the cot of honor at the hos pital rests youth of %. His name is Abe Craig His cOOlness saved at least a dozen lives. "There isn't much to tell," said Craig. eve went down at : o'clock and entered heading No. 10 on the left. A few minutes later there was a crash. I told the boys that meant a cavein, and we had bet ter get out. Then there was a rush of gas. Luckily our door was open, or the explosion would have knocked it down. I slammed 1t, and about twen- ty-five of us waited 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 stag gered in. The boys rushed out and dragged in others. We revived them.
 "Then I looked out again. All I could see was bodies. The after damp was rolling through the heading. I jumped inside and closed the door. There was nothing to do but wait for rescuers.

ELECT FIRST MEMBERS
RESULTS OF CITY ELECTIONS
 SUPPORT VlEH.
LABOR PARTY DECLINES TO AGREE TO kNT kCCOhMODA-
 TON WITH LIBERALS.

| LOndon.-The lists of parliamentary candidates in the approaching elections representing all the parties, have been 1 issued for publication. Altogether l.. 3IO candidates have been nominated distributed as follows: Conservatives generally called UniOnists, 465; As quithian or Independent Liberals, 325 National, or Georgian, Liberals, TO, and LaboriteS, 40.
 There may still be a few more nom- nations before the lists are made of ficial, but they are considered to be practically complete and although there have been conflicting reports on the subject, apparently Mr. Lloyd George has no intention of carrying out his threat to nominate host of ''carpet bagger" candidates to oppose the Conservatives.
 One such candidate was nominated to oppose Sir William Joynson-H Hicks. the new secretary for overseas trade, but no others are known, and the for mer premier's opponents do not hesi- tate to declare openly that he has been outwitted by Sir George Younger, who, they say, again has shown his super iOrity in electiOneering tactics"
 The first astually elected members of the new Parliament have been an- nOunced. They are the three members of the combined Scottish universi- ties" two Conservatives, Sir Henry Craik and Sir George Berry, and one Nationalist Liberal, D. NJ. Cowan, who being unopposed, were declared duly elected.
 An outstanding feature of the nom- nations is the wholesale nature of the contests between the Conservatives and Coalition Liberals, and between the National Liberals and the Labor ties. There are very few labor candi- dates throughout the country, but these will have to fight for their seats, and in no less than 190 constituencies Liberals and Laborites will be fighting each other with UniOnists waiting to take advantage of this split in the pro- SIcSSlNc NOtc, as llle party Slllt declines to agree in any accommOda- ton with the Liberals. Thus, there will be an enormous number of three cornered contests, making any fore cast of the outcome of the elections almost impossible.
 Approximately forty Conservative candidates are unopposed, but of the TO Georgian Liberals only eight are unOpposed.
 England has been literally covered with political posters and literature since the announcement of the gen. eral election. Thousands of tons of paper have been transformed into campaign matter during the last few weeks.
 The bill posting is being carried out principally in the provinces, with such appeals as: If you vote labor party you'll please Trotzky," Lloyd George won the war, he'll keep the peace," and "A vote for labor is a vote for national ruin."

 VOTES TO PUNISH VlZIER. -
BEY OECLAhLS A NEW TURKEY HAS SPRUNG FROM THE or.
 TOMAN EMPIRE.

| GarlS--RepOrtS relcnlnS OIIl'ial | quarters at Paris from AngOra, seat of the Turkish Nationalist govern Inent, indicate that the heated session of the national assembly will probably result in the adoption of measure depriving the Sultan of all civil au- thOrity.
 COnstantinople. Violent scenes marked the proceedings of the first Angora assembly during the discus sion of the status of the Sultan. A number of the opposition deputies left the hall, others favored postponement of the question until after the conclu- sion of peace Dr. Riza Nur Bey, member of the Nationalist delegation to Lausanne, presented a motion en- dorsed by seventy-siX deputies, decla:- ing that new Turkey had sprung from the ruins of the Ottoman empire and proclaiming the Sultan non-exist- ent.
 This motion was amended by the ad- dition of the words: "The great na- tional assembly of Turkey will liber- ate the caliphate from captivity"
 After a lively discussion the mo- tion was referred to a commission of judicial experts.
 Mustapha Kemal Pasha, in a two- hour speech, outlined the course of Turkish history. He pleaded fer--the separation of the sultanate from the caliphate, pointing out in support of his argument the inconveniences of having the sovereign and caliph iden- tical, and insisted upon the necessity of a discussion of the project.
 The assembly finally adopted a res olution moved by Dr. Rizz Pur Bey, that the telegram sent to the Angora government by Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizier of the sultan's govern ment, was an act of treason and the author of it must be punished.
 Will Punish Vizier.
 Tewfik Pasha in his telegram to the nationalist government renewed his plea that a union of the two govern ments be negotiated, declaring that abstention of the sublime porte from the Lausanne peace conference would have a bad effect on the whole Mos lem world, but that nenparticipatiOn by the natiOnalists would prevent the realization of peace and throw the whole world into anarchy.

DEMOCRATS CA|N
 NATIONAL VOTE
IMPORTANT FIGURES IN REPUB. LIcAN ADMINISTRATION GO
 DOWN TO DEFEAT.
COP. MAJOR|TIES CUT
MEMBERS CLOSE TO PRESIDENT HARDING LOSE SEATS IN
 HOUSE AND SENATE.

New York.-Democratic gains in the national elections continued tJ pile ul steadily as belated returns came in from all parts of the country. Demo cratic gains in the House of Represen- tatives accumulated without counter gains for the Republicans in a single congressional district. The great ma jority rolled up for the Republicans in the Harding landslide of two years ago was gnawed into by the Democrats in districts in all debatable states until there seemed d chance that it virtually might be wiped out or at least reduced | to q slender working force for the ad- ministratiOn.
 Some important figures in the Re publican administration went down to defeat and some members of the Sen ate and House personally close to President Harding will return to pri- vate life with rising Democratic tide. The Republican forces failed to break into the Democratic ranks in the South and lost one congressional dis trict which they have held there for years-the Ninth Virginia. Speaker Gillett was reelected; Uncle Joe Can non passed on his seat from Illinois to Republican. Miss Alice Robertson, Republican, of Oklahoma, the only woman in Congress, was beaten by a man-the Democrat whom she defeat ed two years ago-and the present House got an additional woman mem Der. Republican, in Mrs. Winnifred Buck, d daughter of the late William E. Mason of Illinois. who had served in both Senate and House.
 In Iowa, Smith w. Brookhart, Re publican, running to fill the uneXpired term of former Senator Kenyon, leads on the face of the returns.
 In Missouri, Senator Reed, Demo- crat, was leading.
 In New Jersey, where prohibition was largely an issue, Governor Ed wards, Democrat, running on wet platform, was slightly ahead of Sena- tor Frelinghuysen, Republican, run ming with prohibition indorsement.
 Representative Fess of Ohio was leading Senator Pomerene, Democrat, on whom hard fight had been con- ducted by the labor element for his vote on the Esch-Cummins transporta- tiOn law and the senator's stand in the recent railway strike.
 In Pennsylvania, Senators Reed and Pepper appeared to have been elected, and in Rhode Island. Senator Gerry, the Democrat incumbent, was ahead. In Tennessee, too, the Democratic in cumbent, Senator McKeller, was running ahead of his opponent, and in Texas, where Democratic nomina tion is equivalent to election, Earle E. Mayfield was leading.
 In Utah, Ernest Bamberger, Re publican, was, on the face of early returns, running ahead of Senator King, Democrat. Senator King is a Mormon, but Senator Smoot, who is a power in the Mormon church, cam- paigned for MT. Bamberger
 In Vermont, Representative Greene, Republican, had large lead in his race for seat in the Senate, and in West Virginia, Senator Sutherland, Republican, was ahead of his Demo. cratic opponent. In Wisconsin, Sena. tor LaFOllette, Republican, was de clared elected.
