SKATING EVENTS
 OPEN OLYMP|CS
Finland and Norway Divide Hon.
 OrS in MO.Meta Race

Ut. Moritz. Switzerland. Feb. IS Re-In 8 binding storm and with the ice track under q half inch of snow, Finland and Norway divided opening hcnors in the Olympic speed skating championships today.
 Bernt Evenson of Norway and Clas Thunberg of Finland tied for first place in the 500-meter race. in which the chief American hope, ONeil Farrell of Chicago, finished in another deadlock for third place.
 The event was won in the last Olympics by an American, Charles title..
 Evenson and Thunberg, who has skated in the United States, each covered the distance in 43 4-1U seconds, considered remarkable time under the adverse racing conditions.
 Farrell, who was strongly backed to win by the American contingent, was timed in 43 6-10 seconds, the same figures credited to Roald Lar sen of Norway and Jaako Friman of Finland,
 Farrell might have done better had he been paired in his heat with a faster skater than BertilN Back man of Finland. The American took the lead at the gun and was forced to make his own pace all the way.
 The other Americans Irving Jaf- fee. Valentine Bialis and Eddie Murphy, failed to place within the first six.
 The most sensational heat of the race, which was run on a time ba- sis, brought Thunberg and Larsen together. For 400 meters Larsen set . terrific pace and appeared like ly winner but Thunberg uncorked 8 terrific closing burst and passed the Norwegian in the stretch.
 Americas first performance in the 5,0O0-meter race was far from im- pressive when Murphy was timed In 9 minutes, 19 5-10 seconds, near ly 40 seconds behind the Olympic record.
 , Ivar BMlengrud of Norway jump cd into the lead in this event when he covered the couyse in $50 1-lo.
 Charley: German, the Canadian ace. withdrew from the 5,000-meter race after protest over the result of the 500-meter event. Gorman's chances of making showing in the shorter race were dissipated when his competitor, Kos of Holland, fell and threw0 the Canadian out of stride. Officials refused to give Cor man another start although his protest was supported by the Can- adian representatives. w. A. Hewitt and P. J. Mulqueen.
 The time made by Thunberg and Evenson in the 500-meter race clip ped three-fifths of a second from the Olympic record held by Charles Jewtraw of the United States. The worlds record is now held by Roald Larsen with credited mark of 4s 1-10 seconds made at Davos, Switzerland. last week.

 Superintendent Strann said that neither the other inmates nor the other guards on duty at the time were aware that anything unusual was taking place. He said that sounds of shouting are often heard from the inmates in the night and that if either of the two men were slain had shouted 1t is doubtful if their cries would have been heed- ed.
 No Action Caa Be Taken
 He added that although it was doubtful If any action could be taken against the inmates involved because of their mental condition. a report of the happening had been placed in the hands of District At torney Winfield M. Wilbar for what ever action he might believe neces- sary.

MINE DEATH TOLL
 MOUNTS STEADILY
Stands At 25 Today When IS
 Bodies Are Recovered

Timmins. Ont, Feb. 13 UP)- The death toll in the Hollinger Con- solidated gold mine disaster stood at 25 today.
 During the night IS bodies were recovered in addition to seven al- ready. Fourteen men still were trapped on the 55O-foot level and hope that they might be alive was all but abandoned.
 Of the 51 miners entombed after fire broke out Friday morning, r. were rescued alive.
 All Agencies Working
 Every agency of rescue work was marshalled for the last effort tc save the men caught by monoxide fumes. Officials of the company and rescue workers would not admi, their fears that all hope of bring ing out the men alive had fled.
 But one worker merely said they have been breathing poison gas fo1 two days; what do you suppose we'll find.' Rescue work was ham, pered by lack of necessary equip ment. The safety train of the United States Bureau of Mines al Pittsburgh arrived, as did one from Toronto.
 Fight Against Gas
 Then began the task of finding the men. Several parties descended the shaft. They fought against the vicious nonoxide until they reached the level where the miners were trapped. Some had fought their way to other sections of the mine and had to be hunted.
 Word was finally relayed to the mine opening that bodies had been found. Wives and children of the entombed men shuddered at the re- port. They had kept vigil for hours and were near the breaking point.
 IS Men Saved
 Eighteen bodies were recovered during the night. It was a weird scene. The lights of the rescue crew blinked through the pail thai hung over the mine. The men of this north country were used to disaster They worked stolidly.
 As word came that the men were dead, a woman with two children was seen to waver and fall. Tht children cried. Others stood dry eyed after long hours of weeping. The death toll mounted. At sun rise 25 of the 51 were known to b' dead. Fourteen were still in the shaft.
 Company officials estimated the final death toll would be 3s.
 While men worked to rescue the miners, their more fortunate com rades were in St. Mary's hospital Some told of the horror that fol- lowed discovery of the fire. They said between 700 and 800 men were in the mine.
 Blinded By Fumes
 When the fumes spread some were blinded. Some grouped along the walls. Others crawled toward exits on their knees. Others fell dead of SuffOCatfUn.
 Smoke added to the horror. Men tore their shirts from their backs, soaked them in water and used them for gas masks. Some smashed the compressed air lines above their heads. It was little help.
 Five miners banded together for safety. Three of them died. Two were rescued. It was only one of a score of similar incidents.
