BOTTOM OF SWAMP FALLS INTO MINE
(Continued From First Page)

occurred in an off shoot working about 1900 feet from the main shaft of the mine. Recent heavy rains had deepened the swamp, pressing the bed into the cavity. A section approximately city block in width and length fell into the workings and quickly made it's way to the main shaft flooding the three levels of the mine.
 Likely Instantly Killed The entrapped men are believed to have been killed almost instantly as the mountain of slough choked every outlet of the upper level and then worked its way to the lower reaches until the entire shaft was filled. As the mud and water rose to the surface the bodies of seven of the victims were brought up and rescue crews succeeded in recover ing them.
 l One of the bodies was that of | William Tippett, foreman of the mine, who was conducting w. F.
  shaft Hills body has not been re- covered.
 Terrific Force The terrific force of the cave-in Is shown in the unsubmerged parts of the upper level of the mine. Huge stones and timber bracings were torn away.
 About 150 men were employed at the mine in day and night shifts. Fifty-sevsn were on duty at the time of the disaster but five of these were on the surface, having come to the top for lunch. They reported that as they were leaving the shaft they heard a low rumbllng noise and that there was an unusual draft of air which blew out their torches.
 Scores of mine rescue teams and other disaster relief agencies arriV- ed at the mine shortly after the cave-in but were powerless to be of any assistance. The shaft was filled so quickly 1t was soon impossible of penetration.
 Long Job Ahead
 Mine officials last night installed pumping apparatus and began drawing water and mud from the first level in the hope that some of tn bodies may be recovered from that section. It was doubtful, how ever. if the work would be carried further than that level. Officials said it would require months to clear the shaft and indicated the mine may be abandoned.
 All Hope Abandoned.

SPECTATORS TELL
 SENSATIONAL TALE
Those Who Saw TombS Prison
 Battle Relate Details

New York, Nov. { P-Dramatic incidents occurred with breath-tal- ing rapidity during the battle to the death which was fought behind the grim walls of Tombs prison, .yester day.
 Persons who witnessed the sensa- tional gun fighting from the van taga point of windows in buildings overlooking the prison yard today told amazing stories of the happen ings inside the gray stone walls dur ing the deadly fray.
 Witnesses said all three of the sangsters turned their guns upon themselves when they saw that their desperate attempt to escape had failed. and that policemen were closing in upon them from every direction.
 After they had killed a guard and fatally wounded the warden, and had failed to obtain the keys from either the front or rear prison gates, the three dosperadoes made thelr last stand in the rear of the prison yard. It was here, according 10 witnesses, that two of them ended their own lives and the third at tempted suicide. One of the prlson- CTS, they said. shot himself Just few seconds before two of the 1lrst policemen on the scene scaled the fire escape of a nearby building ana opened fire.
 One of the remaining prisoners was wounded in the left arm Tn the first volley of shots fired by the po- licemen. The gangster's pistol fell to the ground, witnesses said but ne snatched it up, staggered to sentry box Tn the stone wall, tried to crowd inside, but failed, and then stepped out, placed the muz2lc or the gun against his temple ana pulled the trigger.
 The remaining prisoner ahgrllS turned his fire at the two policemen shining at him from the opposite office building. He fired two shots' witnesses said. and dramatically holding up one finger to indicate 10 the policemen and the ontookii's office workers that hr had only one shot left, sent the bullet into hls own brain.
 From the viewpoint of the three prisoners. there was irony in thelr failure to get the keys that would have given them freedom. Prison officials revealed after the shooting

Although this sounds like a fire department pie ture and has such for background, the false alarm does not refer to the ringing of the bell.
 Dancing Days" is a comedy drama of the lighter vein. It is a story of married life, of petty dis agreements and an averted divorce ending with a happy reconciliation. There are innumerable laughs and several dramatic climaxes to engage interest.
 Ralph Lewis has the leading role in The False Alarm" but other male stars are John Harron and George OHara. Incidentally. Maurice Costello, father of the beau tiful Dolores and himself a popular fan idol of a decade ago, also has part.
