w President Coolidge, it was
generally predicted here today,
will avoid taking any liquors
while in Havana to attend the
pan-American conference.
The President is known as a
teetotaler, so it is assumed by as
sociates that he will cling to his
dry principles. In some quarters
it was suggested his host may
solve any embarrassment for him
by not serving him the rare wines
and liquors, listed on the menu
for President Machado's banquet

IN EXPLOSION
Illinois State and County

WEST FRANKFORT, Ill, Jan. 10.
Investigation into the cause of the
mine explosion which killed twenty
one men, injured several and i'm
periled the lives of more than ten
others here Monday was started by
State and county officials today.
The blast occurred 800 feet be-
low the surface of the Industrial
Coal Company's Mine No. 10.
Fire which followed the explosion
charred the bodies SO badly that
Identification was possible only from
metal Identification tags.
The bodies, rescue workers said,
were piled like cordwood in q small
pit where the men we're trapped by
the blast.
The report on the number of
dead was made by DR.. j. j. Ellis,
who worked most of Monday in the
pit where the men were found.
Company officials permitted only
the most meager details of the dis
aSter to be known.
700 Men in Mine
1--WE prefer not to talk until we
know what we're talking about"
they said.
Seven hundred men were in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
However, only 1876 were in the ex-
plosion zone. Those who died were
working IN a single small pit.
The bodies we're piled like cord
wood" DR.. r. D. Groce, one of the
first into the pit, said. 1.-THE in
tense heat at the bottom of the pit
had charred them beyond recogni-
ton"
Two miners, working outside the
explosion danger zone, were in a
serious condition today from gas
poisoning. They are w. E. Wade
and Ballard Cornanf. Three other
miners suffered from the gas. They
were found, almost unconscious,
and were rushed to fresh air and
revived. 3
Those killed we're: Walter
Graves, Albert Jones, Kelly Law
renee, George Mahier, Carl Jones,
Ed Dodd, c.. M. Danger. David Nc
Phail, Orval Simons, Ray Farrell,
George Carter, Leonard Smith
John Mitchell, B. Tanner, Lloyd
Bradley. Paul Rays, Andy White
Nicely Hall and C. P. Caraway all
of West Frankfort; Gerald Day
Benton; and Aubra Stone, Marion.
All we're cutters or leaders, who
had gone to work but a few
minutes before they died.
One of the dead, Ray Terrell
had chalked the number of his
room on his boots and belt to aid
in Identification.
Save Overcome Workers
More than hundred miners
budding together in small under
ground rooms, we're found by rescue
crews. The entombcd men had
bratticed the doorways of their
rooms to shut out the gas, and Their
settled down to await rescue.
Rescue crews, working with he'll
NETS and oxygen, went into the
mine Immediately after the blast
Several miners overcome by the
fumes were saved by the crews.
One man, ballard Commsens
heard the explosion, saw the smoke
coming toward him and knew the
fumes were deadly. He outran the
smoke through underground tun-
nels until a rescue crew finally
picked him up in time to save his
life.

lines have permits granted under a

FLOODS IN VERMONT
DAMAGE ROADS BADLY
Loss to Highways Greater Than
That in Mississippi Area.

Ba Times SDccim
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Floods
in the small State of Vermont caused
far more damage to roads and
bridges than the record Mississippi
flood of 1927, officials of the Bureau
of Public Roads said today.
The Mississippi Valley road DAM
age is estimated around $3,O0O000
while that of Vermont is placed at
100000 to 100000.
The explanation is that in the
Mississippi valley the waters move
slowly over wide territory, and
while they cause floods do not tear
out the roads or bridges.
In Vermont the swollen streams
rage down narrow valleys wiping out
bridges and roads in their path.

CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD.
Boston, JAN 10.-Anotller officer who
vas on the bridge when the coast
guard destroyer Paulding ranmed
and sank the submarine S-4, testi-
fled today before the Naval Court of
inquiry.
Charles L. Reed, chief quarter
master of the Paulding, testified
that he was acting as junior officer
OF the deck on the afternoon of Dec.
II, when the submersible went down
in collision with loss of forty lives
His duties, he explained, were to
assist the officer of the deck, Lieu
tenant c. M. Phannemiller, who
testified yesterday, in keeping a
lookout and in keeping the course.
Sees Sub 100 Feet Away
Just prior to the collision the wit
ness said, he had been occupied in
studying the lightship Nantucket to
determine why it was anchored in
Provincetown harbor.
Reed was asked to detail events
after he examined the lightship
while he was standing on the star
. board wing of the bridge.
He said he heard an ejaculation
and observed about 100 feet in front
nj orig rNf =,
submarine.
At first he thought the objects
were markers tor fish nets.
The clearing wires we're just
breaking water. These wires were
from the tops of the coming tower
to short mastS at either end of the
Submersibles deck.
Because of the roughness Of the
water it was impossible to see the
feather of foam in front of the
periScope, which would have indi-
Gated direction.
Sinks in Seven Seconds
The witness said he jumped to
the engine room telegraph at the
same time as did the captain and
sounded the siren for general alarm.
Then came the crash, he said, and
he had to steady himself. He took
bearings on the ships position at
the momnt of the collision.
The last he saw of the submarine
was when taking bearing through
his instrument he saw the tail of
the undersea boat which was
pointed, nose down under the de-
stroyer. About twelve feet Of the
S-&'s tail projected from the water
on the Pauldrng's port beam.
In five to seven seconds, the sub
marine had disappeared from his
sight, Reed said. The impact was
as if we were sliding UP over the
top of something" he testified. ut
was not a solid impact. The bow
seemed to rise, then slide down."
Seaman Is Witness
Commander Leslie E. Bratton,
judge advocate, asked if it were
possible that the submarine came
up and bumped the destroyed q
second time.
Reed thought it impossible, de-
claring that if that had happened
he would have noticed it. He was
plotting the ships position on the
chart at the time, he testified, and
would have been Jared.
Walter G. Reingans, first class
seaman of the Paulding, followed
Reed to the stand.
Reingans corroborated previous
testimony relative to speed, course
and the naturalization of ships.
