d Bodies Left in Pit

BIZ United Press
MATHER, Pa, May 23.-Forty-
one bodies remained to be removed
today from the debris of the Mather
Galleries Company mine, where 30
men were trapped in an explosion
Saturday.
During the night the bodies of
sixty-three victims we're located
and lifted to the surface, bringing
the number of recovered bodies to
1855. Fourteen survivors, some in
Waynesburg hospitals, still were
living today.
Rescue workers reported they saw
most of the bodies still in the mine
about a mile and a half from the
shaft entrance.
Some of the bodies recovered early
today still were warm and limp
when the rescue workers came upon
them, it was said, indicating they
had lived for hours after the blast
and had died for lack Of air and
food.
Rescuers had no hope today that
any Of the four miners still missing
will be found alive, which indicated
that the final death list will be 1876.
Fearing another blast within the
workings as the atmosphere became
heavier during the night, rescue
squads paused in their digging to
rock-dust the interior as a safety
measure. Then the rescue was re-
sumed.

Thousands gathered at the mouth
of the mine as word of the disaster
spread during the night through the
coal mining district along the
southeastern Kentucky border.
Kinver is one of the many small
mining towns that dot the Cumber-
land mountain range in Kentucky
and Virginia.
A rescue crew from Lynch, a
nearby town, was first to reach the
scene. Its members descended into
the workings Immediately and be-
gan digging toward the subter-
ranean chamber formed by the
cave-in.
Reports sent up to the mouth of
the mine by the workers said that
it might be possible to reach the
men within a few hours.
Four Are Identified

Chief Electrician Frank Chow,
Asher Hall, Sam Edwards, Charles
Bradley.

100000 fight
IN BATTLE TO
CONTROL PEKIN
Major Engagement Over
Wide Front Reported
in China.
PEACE MOVE Baked
Plea of General for Unity
to Prevent Occupation
by Japan Fails.

BH Ltnitcd Press
LONDON, May 3.-Heavy fight
ing in a major engagement between
Chinese Nationalist and Northern
erS, over a wide front below Pekin,
was reported in sketchy advices re-
ceived in London today.
There were no details O. his first
major engagement between the
forces of Chang Tso Lin and the
southern armies OF General Chang
Kai Shek and General Geng w
hsiang, other than the fighting
was severe.
The front was reported to extend
from Nankou Pass, through Paotin-
fu and Tsang Chow in a general
semi-circle of the northern capital
of Pekin.
A Toxic dispatch to the Daily
Mail said more than 100000 men
were engaged in the big drive.
Huge Army of Invaders
The northern defense force> was
said to number about 100000 men
and to be scattered at strategic
points along the main front. which
varies from about 125 to 200 miles
below the central Government cap
ital.
The invading army-and there
was no indication whether it was
the combined forces of Chang Kai
Shek and Feng Yu Hsiang or the
single army of one Of the southern
generals-WaS reported to have a
strength of about 22O,l00 men.
A brief advice to the Morning
Post from its Pekin correspondent
reported the fighting was particu-
larly heavy along the Pekin-Han-
kow railroad. This would be about
the center point of the reported
battle front.
None of the dispatches indicated
what the casualties we're or what
manner of strategy the attacking
southern armies had used.
Appeals for Peace
Reports of the battle would indi-
cate that Chang Tso Lin had been
unsuccessful in his reported at
tempts to avert spread of the civil
strife by agreeing. with certain con-
CessiOns. to withdraw his troops into
Manchuria He was reported to
have made such a plan earlier this
week.
Chang had appealed for peace
with the southern forces. He, al
though friendly with the japanese,
had pointed out that China was
"menaced" by the presence of Jap
anese troops in Chinese provinces
and that the Chinese civil factions
should put up a unified front and
at least for the time forgot their
internal differences.
Through all his negotiations, how
ever, Chang reported the northern
armies we're prepared, militarily, to
oppose the northern march of the
southern armies should Pekin be
threatened. Last week he called a
conference of his generals at Pekin
to make plans for the one major
engagement with the southern
armies. should this become neces-
Sary.
