they met rescue party coming in.
They were in the fourth south tier
of the property when the terrific
blast came. They Immediately put
out the lights on their lamps with the
intention of saving these for use in
making their escape. This act un-

Seven bodies, have been recovered,
and the company has announced that
there is very little hope of rescuing

During the night and early today,
four members of rescue crews were
overcome by fumes and had to be

OF the rescuers were hit by falling
rocks in the tunnels The walls and
tunnels of the mine are shaky and the
rescuers frequently had to stop to

FED UP, ON THE SENATE

Reports from Washington that
President Harding is eagerly
looking forward to the period
when he will have congress "off

what is supposed to be the atti-
tude of most executives about the
middle OF their terms. after their
newnesS hag worn off and their
partisans who formerly regarded
them as heroes start in to find
fault with them and even t o
block their projects.
Congress has a vital function
to perform in the government
and is supposed to be a spur or
check to the president on oc-
casion. But this, as the country
painfully knows. is a vast dis
lance from saying that congress
IS always right and that what it
calls advice to the executive is
not frequently pure mcddlesome-
ness.
Not the least interesting thing
IN this situation is that President
Harding is finding it necessary to
repudiate completely the attitude
OF Senator Harding on this point
