-FAII;MONT. w. Va. January 15.-
The bodies of s miners. including
father and his son. have been located
in the No S mine OF the Jamison Coal
and Coke Co. At Pennington. near
here, which late las night was par
TALLY wrecked by an explosion. There
are still so men unaccounted for in
the mine.
The condition Of the bodies. badly
burned but not mutilated. led miners
and some of the rescuers to express
the hope that at least few of the
men still are alive.
Two of the bodies found have not
been identified. Two others are those
OF w. E. Myers. SO. and his son. Her
bert Myers. ct, both OF Westchester,
a town near Pennington.
The bodies were found in heading
in which =. miners are believed to
have been at work. Rescue efforts
are being rushed in this heading
while another in which Is men were
engaged, has been blocked off to en-
able the air currents to be directed
toward the area where the rescue
crews are a work.
Bodies Not Removed.
No effort has been made to remove
the bodies pending the arrival of the
county coroner.
A small fire al the bottom of the
shaft necessitated the calling OF a
fire truck from Fairmont which is
eight miles from the mine. The blaze.
however, was declared to be under
control and did not hinder the rescue
work.
A number Of horses stabbed in the
mine were taken out alive this morn
ing.
Officials who entered the workings
after the blast said the mine appea red
badly wrecked in the vicinity of the
seventh right heading and that debris
would likely hinder the rescue work
A group of six trackmen who were
working not more than 800 feet from
the bottom OF the entry said the ex-
plosion created hut a slight shock.
after which the mine filled with smoke
and the air became bad They were
able to reach the shaft. however. and
gave the signal which brought the
hoist to the top. Persons who were
near the mine said the blast was fell,
but slightly on the surface.
Cause Undetermined.
NO reason mas been advanced BY
officials or rescue workers as TO what
might have caused the explosion.
Nearly 100 900 feet of telephone wire
was transported from Fairmont to
FarminEton and taken into the mine
Experienced linesmen then went down
and placed telephones as far back as
the smoke would allow This provided
mean Of communication with the
surface.

League Demands Dismissal
of Brown, Curb on Smoot's
Power and Probe.

Criticizing Herbert D. Brown, chief
Smoot. Republican. OF Utah and the
whole personnel system of the Fed
eral Government including the Per
sonnel Classification Board itself. the
Civil Service League has appealed di-
rectly to President Coolidge TO assume
the leadership in revising what is
termed such absurd. illogical division
of functions as exists in no other I'M
portant government.
The league made public today a
document of IA pages. including pre-
vious letter to the President, which
was presented at the White House
January by a delegation comprising
DR.. Ellery {. Stowell, president Of the
league; Mrs. Lyman &. Swormstedt
and Charles L. Hill.
Virtually demanding the President
dismiss Mr.. Brown and take such &C
ton as may serve TO offset the pecu-
liar and special, almost proprietary IN
terest" of Senator Sluoot, who Is
charged with being permitted auto
craticallv to usurp both the functions
of Congress and of the President and
to run the civil service of the Cnited
States" the league made three speclhc
recommendations:
Wants Functions Changed.
Il. That the President support leg
islation to secure the transfer OF the
functions of the Personnel ClasSiflca-
ton Board and the personnel func-
tIons of the Bureau of Efficiency TO
the Civil Service Commission. where
logically they belong. in order TO pro
mote efficient and economical admin
istraton.
80 That as matter Of executive
routine. the Civil Service Commission
he called upon for an official state
ment of it's opinion in all matters re-
latinG to general matters Of personnel
administration.
.'3. That appropriate disciplinary
action be taken toward those officials
shown by the record flagrantly to
have disregarded provisions of the
