Iseisctsd sros6 Of civilians - to
principles which should govern any
futufe military draft regulations
Lh4J brought out several distinct
f6atrres Which the eouforees were
agreed S1cuId apply TO the classi-
ncetion Oh enlisted personnel.
For one thing il was the 1udg-
ment Of the ciyflia4 c0nferees, all
Of whom had wartime dra1f exper-
ferce. that work necessary In the
army should be classified BY occu-
pations in order that the classihca-
tion of men called to the colors
could be expedited and their assign
ments be based on the similarity
| 81 their civil training and military
work they were best fitted to per-
form. It was also believed that the
ella ssificatf0n Of men should begin
when they were called by local
draft boards and not await their
! arrival H moOtlA1AtiOu SSAeShOs
Another point brought out was
THE difficulty Of dealing in the
army with men Of low mental cali
her. A suggestion was made that
the regulations should prevent such
| men from being called fCr active
military service.
The conferees were in harmony
also as to the desirability 81 using
men available only for limited mill
| tary service from the beginning OF
the operation Of the draft law and
| not deferring such cases for later
treatment.
To meet the problem Of dealing
with limited service and occupa-
itional specialists the suggestion
twas made that clearing pool con-
| tiers for each Of these groups might
he established and that the excess
from the various local boards could
be turned over to these pools for
further assignment. The plan
would work especially we'll in dis
ttribution of specially qualified oc-
cupational specialists. it was held

Seaton made tests for gas In No.
1 1 every morning. lie was pyob-
ably nearest the gas pocket formed
by seepsge into a horizontal smart
leading fro mthe strip pit when the
explosion occurred. This man was
unrecognizable.
The four men who escaped,
Claude Evarts, Roy Caldwell, Percy
Womack and Jo Carpenter were the
last to enter tho mine crossing the
threshold at about 7;40 o'clock.
Every one of the men from the
oldest to the youngest leaves a wife
and at least one child. Burrell
Sprouse. ~ years old, leaves two ba-
bles.
Mine No. IL was not wrecked
by the explosion. While the displace-
ment of air expanded by burning
gas was sufficient TO suifoCate all
the men not actually killed by the
impact OF the first explosion, the
sound which reached the ears OF
those outside was "A low thud, not
the usual growl 9nd rumble OF
great mass blast.
The first TO reach the entrance of
the tomb OF the eight miners were
fellow workers who might have
passed through IL In another five
minutes.
Hundreds had gathered on the
plain Immediately above No. IL
before the first Tescuers descended
into the mine. The four who entered
the mine last were able TO retrace
their steps to point whore their
lungs might be served by limited
supply OF fresh air before being
temporarily overcome by the fumes.
While two OF the miners were in
all probability only asphyxiatcd, the
appearance Of tho others indicated
they died the most terrible or min
ers deaths. The gas ignited after
IL had filled their lungs, throatS
and bronchial tubes. The nOstrils
OF several showed the gas had ac-
tually burned as they made an ef-
fort to eNhale II.
Seaton, 40 years old. had IL wife
and five children. His death was
certain before those OF any OF his
fellows and the wife was sobbing at
temporary morgue near tho mine
within a few minutes after rescue
work was started.
Used Army Gas Masks.
Regular army gas masks were
used by many of the workers who
went down into the shaft. Four OF
the men taken out were identified
by miners who waited outside, only
by their clothing.
Several dozen workers squatted
on the track above the shaft watch
ing for movements OF RELIEF workers
who went into the earth before the
fumes were known TO have been
dispelled. An old Toulouse was
employed as a morgue while a first
aid station was set up near IL In Il
motor truck, Trucks were employed
as ambulances and hearses. Tho en-
tire population OF McCurtain had
reached the mine by 1880 o'clock.
The families OF fortunate miners
had come to comfort those of the
unfortunate. Two young women.
wives OF the younger Of the dead
men. had to be dragged from the
scene. Another had to be held to
prevent her rushing down the shG't
into the mine where still entombed
were Sprouse, Greenwald and Bra

the four men who escaped with
their lives will recover.

the cognomen Coeburn, q pretty name
commemorative Of a noted civil en-

In the year 1887 the railroad was
completed to Coeburn and extended
to Toms Creek in 1893. The land
around Coeburn was bought and sold
along about 1925 for coon skins, then
