cabinet last Saturday morning on the

The general opinion is that thcr.
is little difference between BRAND

necessary TO pass this gas tax meas

MINE BLAST
DEATHT TOLL
REACHES IL
Ten More Were Found Alive
Last Night, Two Miles
Back in the Mine
FIVE ARE STILL MISSING
Rescue Workers Are Hopeful
That Some of These May
Still Be Alive
FIVE ARE STILL MISSING

Eccles, W. Va, March 10.-@-
The known death toll in the Crab
Orchard Improvement company mine
explosion reached II this morning,
when three more bodies were locat-
ed within the workings where % men
were cntombed Monday.
Ten were found alive last night
and five are still missing, but COM
pany officials and rescue workers
were hopeful that ut least two of
the five still lived. They were work
ing in section Of the mine isolat-
ed from the blast, it was thought.
We're Unharmed
The 10 men brought out alive were
in excellent physical condition, and
in relating their experiences and
telling of their thoughts while en-
tombed, all agreed that they never
once gave up hope Of rescue. p. j.
Davis, night foreman, was the lead
cr Of the little band. and to his ex-
pericnce and coolness the men cred
tied their safety.
Under the direction of Davis, a
barricade Of lumber and stones, plas-
tered with mud, was thrown up, and
behind this the men found p otcction
from the poisonous fumes.
Questioned as to how they spent
the 26 hours of their Imprisonment,
the miners said they talked FOR the
most part. but that nothing was said
about their possible fate if help did
not reach them within reasonable
period.
Located Through Signs
The men were located almost two
miles back in the mine and rescuers
were guided to the underground cell
by signs, the first of which. found
mile from the shaft, read "come
to second right" Beyond the sec.
ond right another sign read, third
rooni." There the men were found
and nearby were the bodies Of three
who had met, death. !. The markers
were placed by tho miners as they
pushed to the rear of the workings
following the explosion.
The THO whose bodies were dis.
covered near the "third room had
been members of the group that was
rescued, hut perished before the,
could reach a place OF safety.

Only One Point At lssue

OuIy OUe IOIut Al issue
The convention will be the second
to be held by Nonpartisan Republi-
cans ut Bismarck this year and the
third held nv the various Republican
factions, Real Republicans having
met at Devils Lake two weeks ago.
Apparently the only point to be de-
termined is which senatorial candi-
date shall run under the Republican
emblem in the special election. If
the Nonpartisans succeed in naming
Nye as the official party choice.
Hanna will be forced to run in an
independent column. Frazier said.
Although the Nonpartisans are a
coalition of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, they control the official ma
chinery Of the Republican party by
what Attorney General George Shafer
describes as illegal fiction" Hanna
is supporter of the Coolidge ad-
ministration. The Nonpartisans. in
the 1924 campaign, supported La Fol-
letto.
Text Of the Call
The text Of the call issued today
by Frazier follows:
"A Republican State delegate con-
vention is hereby called to meet in
Bismarck, North Dakota, on Wednes-
day, March 81, at 2 p. m. for the pur-
pose of nominating or endorsing 4
Republican candidate for the office
Of United States senator to be elect.
