TORONTO. Ontario, Feb. IL
Fumes and smoke pouring down a
shaft of the Hollinger Consolidated
gold mine at TimminS today left a
rapidly diminishing hope that the
two-score miners trapped on the
550-foot level could be saved.
Six men we're known to be dead
of suffocation and it was feared a
similar fate had overtaken the forty
others. No further rescue work can
proceed until arrival Of rescue car
expected from Pennsylvania about
noon.
The limited supply Of oxygen for
the respirators worn by volunteer
rescue workers was being consumed
swiftly. The reScuerS themselves
were considered in imminent danger
Of losing their lives from the fumes.
1t was said that a canary lowered
into the shaft lived for only two
minutes.
The fire, which broke out yeSter-
day morning, still was burning
fiercely, and it was thought it
might burn for weeks before being
controlled.
Little Hope Left
A thread Of hope was held by
some that the trapped men might
find avenues of escape in the my
Rad tunnels of the mine, but it was
considered unlikely that any por-
ton OF the shaft was free of the
monoxide.
G. G. Williams, general superin-
tendent of the mine, was in charge
Of rescue operations. Several times
be led rescue parties into shaft No,
IL in hope Of getting below the
fourth, fifth and sixth levels. where
the men are trapped. Each time
they were driven back by the fumes
and dense smoke.
The fire was mainly at the $50
foot level, but the fumes penetrated
to the 1,800-foot base of the mine.
Rescuers succeeded in reaching the
300-foot level. At one time williams
reached a level 100 feet above the
trapped men, but was overcome and
had to be rescued.
While the thus far futile rescue
work was going on, wives and chill
dren of the trapped men waited at
the shaft opening, weeping and
praying. All work in the town was
halted and all available man power
was marshaled for future needs.
Starts in Rubbish Pile
Work in the Mcintyre mine, con-
nected at the 400-foot level with the
Hollinger mine, was suspended as a
precautionary measure.
The fire started, it was said, by
spontaneous combustion in pile of
rubbish. When the smoke and
fumes belched down the shaft,
mad rush was made for the exits.
Many were crushed and others were
overcome by the fast-spreading
smoke. These we're rescued, how
ever, and resuscitated.
Five hundred men were in the
mine when the fire broke out. A
checkup showed that forty still were
trapped near stope where they
had been working.

trial, without distressing my wife
and family" he is reported to have
stated.
Mrs. Lyons was at the hospital
Friday, but planned to return to
Richmond today.
Stories in Conflict
Nurses at the hospital said there
was no desire to make it appear
that Lyons was confined for the pur-
pose of not getting all possible evil
dence before the Jackson jury.
Several discrepancies appeared in
stories told about Lyons arrival
here. One was that he was brought
from the train directly to the hos
pital. The truth of this was not
learned until Olch told pf Lyons
coming to his Office.
Another was that Lyons was ad-
mitted Thursday, when in reality
he was not admitted until Friday.
Still another was that doctors
planned to operate Saturday while
they actually entertained no idea
along this line unless Lyons became
critically i'll" Physicians declared
there was not much probability of
this. Even the night nurse at the
hospital declared she did not ex-
pect Lyons to undergo the knife
for some time"
DR.. Olch said he and DR.. Arm we're
not concerned with whether Lyons
was able to testify at the trial, but
considered him an appendicitis
No Room In Hospital
IT tried to get him into the hos
pital, but there were no rooms" DR..
Olch said. Il put him in bed in a
hotel. On account of everything
involved, we will keep him under
observation for twenty-foW or
forty-eight hours. If the situation
gets worse we will operate. If it
subsidies we will discharge him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. - The

having passed the House, and now
goes to President Coolidge for sig

His testimony in the Jack
son trial was expected to be
vital because he is understood
to have been the man who, ac-
cording to the States case, was
to have supplied the $4,000
which Jackson and his CO.
defendants are alleged to have
offered former Governor War
rem T. McCray if he would ap-
point James f. Mcdonald

Lyons got off a Pennsylvania
train Thursday at Dayton, while en-
route to his home at Richmond,
Ind.
He did not get to the hospital un-
til Friday. Prosecutor William H.
Remy at indianapolis heard about
the incident and rushed his as
sistants here.
Surgeons Speed Action
Two leading surgeons of this Sec
ton of the country have Lyons
case. The surgeons say they did not
know of Lyons Importance IN the
case and today appeared to be in
tertesed sincerely in getting out of
the affair as quickly as they could
and still discharge their professional
duty to the patient.
They declared that Lyons un-
doubtedly has had an attack of
"sub-acute" appendicitis, which is
the form that may attack a man
recurrently for several years before
an operation is necessary OF ad-
They said they would not operate
today and that if Lyons is improved
further by Monday they will advise
him to leave the hospital and go
to indianapolis for the trial with
out fear for his physical condition.
Becomes Ill on Train
Lyons retold physicians he went
to the office of DR.. Benedict Olch,
whom he got off the train. Olch
said Lyons was i'll at the time, and
because no accommodations could be
obtained at the hospital Thursday
night. he directed him to bed in a
local hotel until he obtained a room
at the hospital Friday.
At the hospital Lyons was close
" guarded. Nurses would not per-
nit him to be interviewed by anyone
except reporters from a local paper
said to have Klan tendencies. Nc
Glenn and Rhoadarmer were able
to see him for a short time and he
told them he was eager to be able
TO attend the trial.
1t was reported here that Lyons
was In conference with Hiram w.

assured that there was none of
