postponed until Monday further
investigation of the murder Of
Rev. Edwar5 w. Hall, rector OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church

BIRMINGHAM, Nov.
23.-The death list in the
Dolomite mine disaster
mounted to eighty-two to-
day, according to latest
figures available at the
scene of the explosion,
thirteen miles from Bir-
mingham.
. One-third of those
killed were negroes. They
were employed in Dolo-
mite mine No. 3 of the
Woodward Coal Com
pany.
BODIES RECOVERED.
Sixty others are in hospitals.
some of them so badly burned
or injured by flying debris
that they may not recover.
All of the bodies have been
recovered and all those not
killed by the olast have been
freed from the underground
prison, 1t was stated early to-
day by officials of the COM
pany.
1t has been definitely estab-
lished that the explosion was
caused when a "skip" car.
breaking away, dashed down
the mine slope, and, crashing
through electric cables, caused
an electric spark which ig-
nited the dust in the mine.
FLAME 200 FEET HIGH.
Instantly the entire mine was.
enveloped in sheet of flame that
blazed upward through the shaft,
at least 200 feet into the air, and
ignited the tipple. All men work
ing near the mouth of the mine, it
l,.IIaI nx,trtnht
The No. 3 shaft is a new open
ing into the old No. 2 mine, and 1T
was through the old shaft that
mine rescue workers were able to
quickly dig through debris choking
the passages and bring out men
who otherwise must have died in
the gas. The work Of rescue was
very rapid.
Guard Keeps Crowd or.
Crowds Of curious gathered al
most instantly after the explosion
and they continued to arrive in
such large numbers that the
national guardsmen were called
out to throw a Gordon about the
mine mouth and open lanes for
ambulances. They still were on
guard this morning.
All bodies have been taken to
Bessemer, Ala, in the heart of
the steel manufacturing district,
and have been placed in morguess,
where many of them still await
Identification. Officials of the
company said they probably
would not be able to complete a
list of the dead today.
400 Men Were At Work.
Officials Of the Woodward Coal
Company said today that 475 men
entered the shaft yesterday morn
ing but, owing to the fact that
miners are constantly leaving and
re-entering the workings all
through the day, there was no way
of telling exactly how many men
might have been caught by the
blast.
They estimated, however, that
the number was near 400. They
were positive in assertions that
ali living and dead have been re-
moved to the surface.
Mine Said Ia BE Safe.
Mine rescue workers and off
cials Of the company, alike. de-
clared the mine to be one Of the
safest, under ordinary conditions.

Mrs. Bessy Boward. Believed
to Have Been Despondent
Over Financial Worries.

Leaving single dollar bill
lying on a table. as a symbol of
her broken finances, Mrs. Bessy
Boward, aged thirty-eight, and
proprietress of beauty parlor
at 1881 G street northwest, COM
mitted suicide last night in her
gaily decked little place of busi-
ness.
She was found this morning
stretched out full length in a sort
of surgeons chair, which she
used for patrons, two gas tubes
trailing over her lifeless arm
and the room full of gas.
Calls II Suicide.
Coroner hewitt. after viewing tn"
body today, wrote out a certificate
OF suicide and the body was removed
to the morgue.
An element of mystery was In
iected into the case by Mrs. Louise
Tate, Mrs. Bowards business asso'
ciate for the past five years, who.
while detectives We're puZZling over
the presence of the dollar bill, be.
cause Sll was also found in purse
nearby remarked:
L know why II is there alright.
And so will some one else know
when he comes"
Silent On Reasons.
Questioning failed TO bring forth
her reason for the statement and to
DIR. Nevitt's interrogations she an
swered after a long silence:
We'll IL just meant she was down
to her last dollar"
At the same time, friends scoffed
at the idea that Mrs. Boward was
in any way concerned in a love af.
fair. although the he" was unex.
planned.
She had been a widow. IL was
said for fifteen years. She occupied
room at 144S Girard street. where
Ahe has resided the past four years
and to which she did not return
last night.
Vernon G. Owen. real estate
man, having offices next to Mrs
Boward's beauty parlor, smelled a
strong odor of gas In the hallway
and summoned Crossing Officer
Smith from Fourteenth and q
streets at 8 o'clock this morning.
The room was entered by a dupli
cate key and the body discovered.
At 5 o'clock last night, owen said
he had bade Mrs. Boward good eve

gagged with a patron.
Two hours later declared a Mrs
Carroll, one of Mrs. Boward's Z
friends, she received telephone
call from the latter, during which
Mrs. Boward cried and complained
that she was not feeling well. This
was the last time her voice was
heard. 1t is thought she left the
establishment, returned about mid
night, and turned on the gas.
