Plans. Under Discussion.
Plans now under discussion ny
the judges are:
l. Use of the small traffic court
room by one of the new judges for
trials Of traffic cases, in which a
large number of witnesses is not
necessary. This room will be used
during the day to try cases such as
speeding, parking and other minor
violations. 1t is planned to hold
colliding cases, in which a large
number of witnesses often appear
until the last. They will be tried
in the District Branch of the Police
Court after the judge sitting there
has ended his assignment for the
day.
2. Placing of the two new judges
Immediately on their taking office
on May 2, to trying the traffic
cases. One will sit during the day
and the other to sit from o'clock
in the afternoon until II o'clock at
night.
Three Results Expected.
Three things are expected to re-
suit from the new Arrangement.
relief of congestion. practical elimi
nation of forfeitures, and speedier
jury trials.
AS the Judge sitting in the Dis
trict Branch Of the court goes from
his bench the colliding cases will
be brought forward, and as soon
as they are disposed of, the jury
may be summoned and jury trials
held.
Due to the fact the traffic
offenders will be brought immed-
lately to trial, the usual crowded
court rooms with people waiting
for trials will be eliminated and
the courts working in close har-
mony as outlined will bring the
complete elimination of the ideas
fostered by the authors of the hill,
it is predicted.
Judge Macdonald declared on an
nouncement of his confirmation by
the Senate that he was engaged In
reading over the new bill and was
as vet not qualified to make any
statements as to it's tenor.
Il have not yet thoroughly
studied the bill" he declared and

AT THE MOUTH OF MINI
NO. Al, BARRACKSVILLE, w
Va, March 18.-The light of hope
that has flickered in constantly
since late last night, when thirty
four miners were entombed by
an explosion in the mine Of the
Bethlehem Mines and Steel Cor
poration here, was practically
abandoned by frenzied rescue
workers when, shortly after
o'clock, the bodies of two mea
found near the shaft were brought
to the surface. Meantime three
arrests have been made. on ru
mors that the explosion was the
result of a plot.
The two men who were MOI
identified were believed to have
been those whose faint cries were
said to have been heard coming
up the shaft in the early morning
hours today, before organized res
cue work started. Apparently
they were near the mouth OF the
shaft when the terrific explosion
of dynamite or coal damp plunge
the mine into a living tomb.
Fate Of Others Sealed
The other thirty-two miners an
believed to be far back in the
mine blocked by a huge fall Of
coal and debris.
The finding Of the two bodies
near the shaft practically sealed the
other miners fates, rescue workers
believed, but work was pushed on
as rapidly as before.
Mules and Ponies Dead.
The rescue crews descending t,
the bottom of the shaft found thei.
way to the entombed men blocked
by debris.
AS the entombed men are from
one-half to three.fourths of a mile
from the shaft opening, the most
optimistic of the rescue workers
we're certain the men would not be
reached in time to find them alive.
Dead mine mules and ponies found
Nv the workers strengthened the
belief that not one of the miners
will survive the Imprisonment.

ports that the explosion might have

lend aid.
"Murawski was fighting us furi-
ously, and naturally we could not

a settee. 1t is possible that he hurt
himself on the settee.
However, after this fight. he
was put to work cleaning the walls

Evidence Is CorrObOrated.
Excepting for the action of the
grand jury in voting true bills late
yesterday. the most important de-
velopment. in the case in the last
few hours was admittedly the dis
covery of evidence tending to cor
roborate the confession of Doctor
Faiman that he supplied Shepherd
with death-dealing typhoid bacilli
from cultures at his National Uni.
versity of Science.
This partial confederation came
from Robert White, a former aide
Of F'aiman's at his university.
White was located early today
and brought to the States attor-
ney's office. He singled Shepherd
out from several other men and
positively identified him as the
man who, on one occasion at least.
had visited Faiman's school.
"He appeared so interested"
White said, that I took him on a
little tour Of inspection. After a
time he left, saying he would be
