 Instantly the entire mine was en- blazed upward through the shaft, at least 200 feet into the air, and ignlted the tipple. All men working near the mouth of the mine. 1t was said,
 The number three shaft is a new opening into the old number mine and it was through the old sna1t that mine rescue workers were able quickly to dig through debris chOk- ing the passages and bring out men who otherwise must have died Tn the gas. The work of rescue was very rapid.
 Crowds of curious gathered almost instantly after the explosion ana they continued to arrive in such large numbers that the national guardsmen were called out to throW a cordon about the mine mouth and open lanes for am balances. They still were on guard this morning.
 All bodies have been tal<en to Bes- semcr, Ala, in the heart of the steel manufacturing distric and have been placed in morgues, where many of them still await identification. Of ficials of the company said they probably would not be able to con- plete a list of the dead today.
 Officials of the Woodward Coal Company said today that 475 men hut owing to the fact that miners are constantly leaving and re-enter- ing the workings all through the day there was no way of telling exactly how many men might have been caught by the blast. The estimated however, that the number was near 400. They were positive in asser- tiOns that all living and dead have been removed to the surface.
 Mine rescue workers and officials of the company alike declared the mine to be one of the Isa:fest, under ordinary conditions. Although "black 2 T1'' iS iT1fTannant in the mine, they said. the ventilation is so excellent and safeguards so well looked after that a disaster in the shaft was made doubly shocking.

 To Close Loops.
 Commissioner Ballard further de- clared that the watch clock shows that the guard made his rounds at his stated intel vals and that the es- cape was by no means due to lax watching.
 MT. Ballard said that a Ioophole has been discovered and that it will escape for prisoners at the jail. The loophole, according to the county commissioner. is in allowing long term prisoners to work in the leather shop.
 It is probable tkat MT. Ballard will also recommend a change in the con- struction of dormer windows from which all three prisoners made their escape.
 Steal a Car.
 It is reported that Zepko and Ledoux are now on their way to New York and managed to make good their escape to that place through the means of a car stolen fror1 Erwin Jennings of Greens Farms, head of the local branch of the Hudson Essex Go. The car was stolen from his garage some time after 12:30 o'clock last night, according to a complaint he filed with the local detective bureau this morning.
 Zepko formerly worked in the vicinity of the Jennings estate and Mir. Jennings stated this morning that he was of the belief that none other than Zepko had taken his car. He is not in the habit of locking his garage, he told the police, and he is of the opinion that Zepko was fami- liar with this fact

PLAYING OF STEWART SIMS
PRAISED BY WRITER

Stewart Sims of this city, who at
tends Dubuque university, Dubuque,
Ia, came in for some fine mention by
the sport writer in recent issue of the
! Dubuque Telegraph Herald, on his bas-
ketball playing. The writer had the
following to say of Sims:
"Tiny' Sims, the 209pound guard
for the Dubuque five, was terror to
the opposing basket tossers. With Sims
guarding it was almost impossible for
an opponent to get a close shot at the
basket. His close guarding figures
largely in the low score Of the oppo-
nents and was a factor in winning
many games for the Blue and White.
According to officials and coaches, who
have seen Sims play, he is one Of the
best guards in the state.'
& John Armstrong and Red Taber,
the latter captain of the Dubuque
Eve, also were highly praised. Arm
strong, the writer stated, is regarded
by coaches Of teams played by Dubuque
as, the fastest man seen on a basketball
court in Iowa.

LOCAL TELEPHONE PAY STATION
ROBBED

Little Falls was included in the timer
-ary of telephone pay station robberies
committed throughout the state recent
". On Thursday evening of last week,
between the hours Of 5 p. m. and l a.
m, the cash drawer in one of the
booths at the Buchanan hotel here was
broken open and between $25 and $50
was secured. The robbery was not dis
covered until the next morning when
r. E. Hall, manager of the local ex'
change, came to the booth to collect
the weeks receipts. -
. It is believed that the same person
or persons have committed the various
pay-station robberies throughout the
state. At Brainerd in the Ransford
hotel, two booths were robbed during
the day, but little was obtained there
as collections are made daily. On Sat
urday Manager Hall was notified of a
similar robbery at the pay-station in
the Markham hotel, Bemidji, where ap-
proximately $50 was secured. AS yet
the robbers have not been unprecedented.

missioner Babcock expressed regret
that the state is without special funds
to take advantage Of low prices offered
now. Reimbursement bond interest

this year will greatly reduce the avail
