Gas BLAST KILLS 81
IN INDIANA MINE
Miners Lamp Believed to
Have Ignited Fumes in
Shaft at Sullivan.

Sullivan, Ind.-In an explosion Of
gas that wrought the greatest mine
disaster in the history of Indiana coal
fields, 81 men were killed almost in
stantly in the City Coal company mine
on the outskirts of this city. All of
the bodies have been recovered and
identified
There were 121 miners in the mine
at the time of the blast, which oc-
Cured in the third and fourth entries
north, where most of the men were at
work who were killed.
Rescue crews went to work at once,
and the rescue team of the United
States bureau of mines at Vincennes
reached the scene of the disaster by
motor truck one hour after the ter
rife explosion. They were on the bot
tom within thirty-five minutes after
arrival.
Gas Ignited by Miners Lamp.
Miners who explored the workings
said an explosion followed by a small
fire had brought sudden death. The
bodies brought up were covered with
burns. Some were killed by falling
timbers.
Preliminary investigation indicated
that a miner working with a cutting
machine suddenly cut through to an
old mine shaft. The rush of accumu-
lated gas from the opening was ignited
by the miners lamp.

In the hideous turmoil at the pit
head there was a moment of stark
tragedy when Mrs. Eta Sanders nine

Claude among the dead. The feeble
woman, supported by other children,
had waited at the mine since noon,
scanning every face. AS she watched
doctors lift the body into an ambu-
lance, the mother collapsed and was
taken to a hospital.

The Boston Disaster.

In the collapse without warning of
a building in Boston the other night
two score or more of people were
killed and many others were injured.
The structure was an old one, for
merly a Motel and latterly used as a
rendezvous for merrymakers, night
club of dubious repute. The collapse
came while the floor was filled with
dancers. The conclusion Is obvious
that the vibration caused by the
dancing of large number of people
precipitated the accident. 1t is indi-
Gated, however, that the building had
been weakened by construction work
in progress alongside.
Had there been an official inspec-
ton of this structure with reference
to it's safe use for dancing purposes
1t would probably have been con-
demued. Apparently, however, there
was no such inspection. The city
authorities permitted the place to be
used as dance hall despite its age
and Notwithstanding the weakening
effect of the work next door. This is
another instance OF .ofiicial failure,

1919, a growth Of about 51a per cent.
At the present rate of increase, which
is about l per cent a year, according
to the difference between the 1919 and
1925 enumerations, the population OF
Germany as 1t is now constituted viii
by 1895 have passed the point Of the
population at the outbreak Of the war.
In other words, in about 20 years
from the beginning Of the conflict Ger
many will have as many people within
q much smaller area.
This is an important matter for con-
sideration. Germany, it is plain, faces
the problem Of congestion. Colonial
expansion is in the present circum-
stances impossible. Fifteen years ago
the problem Of the surplus population
Of Germany was an important factor
in the determination of national pol
icies. Clearly, the German statesmen
will soon be compelled to consider
seriously this same question, while
the statesmen OF other nations OF Eu-
rope must likewise consider it with
reference to the security of peace.

Fire traps are permitted to be used
long after their condition has been
known to public authorities. Flimsy
shells of buildings aDe continued in
service when their condition has

OF public assemblage have been al

properly hung doors.
Appeals are made from time to
time to the people of this country
to prevent fire." They are urged
to safeguard against losses which
may be lessened by carefulness and
attention to small details of precau-
ton. At the same time municipal
authorities are extremely lax in per-
mitting the maintenance of deadly
conditions. This Boston case Is an
evidence. A building that would
break down as did the old Pickwick
Club In that city must have been in
a condition of such decrepitude that
intelligent inspection would have re-
vealed it's peril. If the inquest in
this case goes to the root of the
matter it will probably show the
blame to lie upon some branch of
the municipal government for per-
mitting the continued use of an old
shell as "a dance hall.
