Many Miners Trapped in
Workings Of Mine, Now Be-
lieved Filled With Poisonous
Fumes-Rescue Work Halt
ed to Await Arrival of Spc.
cial Equipment

Timmins, Ont, Feb. 11.-(AP)-
The number of known dead in the
Hollinger mine fire at 10 o'clock this
morning stood at six, two Of them
having been identified.
The fate Of more than 40 miners
remained in doubt. They were
trapped in the workings of the mine,
which are believed filled with pois-
on0us fumes from q fire which broke
out yesterday.
Rescue work was halted pending
the arrival of special trains rushing
here from Pittsburgh and Toronto
with smoke-fighting equipment and
experts in rescue work.
As the cage in shaft IL Of the
llrning Hollinger gold mine made
its fruitless trips up and down the
smokeladen entryway, hope faded
today for the A men believed to be
trapped on lower levels.
Through the night the wives and
children Of the imprisoned miners
kept vigil at the mine head, weep
ing and praying, but each return
Of the empty car dimmed their
hopes. The car was run on the
chance that some of the men might
win their way to the shaft and sur
vivc the trip past the burning $50
foot level. They are believed to
be on the level just below the fire.
Six bodies had been recovered. The
only two identified were those of
Martin Stevens, shaft boss, and Ira
Graham. Death had been. caused by
suffocation from smoke and carbon
monoxide gas.
A possibility that some of the "A
mcn believed missing. had made
their way safely to the top unre-
ported, could not be definitely de-
termined until . thorough check of
the miners could be made today.
Between 800 and 900 men made
their way safely out of the mine
yesterday.
There were conflicting reports of
the source Of the blaze, the most
authentic being that it had started
in . pile Of rubbish on the $50 foot
level. The fire was discovered yes
terday morning shortly after the
day shift Of miners had gone to
work at 8 o'clock.

Rockefeller Unable to Give Committee Information Seeks
Abraham Lincoln, the Sportsman
Wrestling and Umpire
By RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Feb. 11.-If the
young man Of the house spends some
Of his evenings at the bowling alleys,
don't discourage him. He is merely
following in one or two Of the foot
steps Of Abraham Lincoln.
Those were tho days when Lincoln
was only congressman. He served
in the House from 1S47 to 1S49 and
apparently wanted to continue, but
there was no overwhelming demand
for him in his Illinois district.
While In Washington for those two
years, however, he took keen delight
In hurting the old cannon ball down
the alley and he was fairly good at
It, Judging from the meager ac-
counts Of his prowess now available.
He towled match games with other
members Of Congress at the alley in
James Caspari's hotel, known as the
Congress Hall Refectory, on Capitol
Square, opposite the House Of Rep
resentatives. The hotel has long ago
disappeared and its site is now q part
Of the Capitol grounds.
Always Watched BY Crowds
"He played the game with great
gusto," according to the only nc.
count Of Congressman Lincoln's
sporting activities here that this
writer can locate. 'sWhether he won
or lost, it was all the same to him.
His gaunt figure added to the BY
standers' entertainment. When he
played crowd gathered, especially
to hear his jokes: some Of which
were reduced to the appreciation Of
mere man."
The records don't seem to disclose
whether Lincoln learned to bowl
here or at the Illinois state capital
while legislator. Lincoln had
prodigious strength and in his carly
Illinois days was fond Of physical
recreation Of the simpler sort such
a. wrestling.
I'm sports requiring either muscle
or skill, he took no little interest,""
wrote Herndon, his law partner and
biographer. "He indulged in all the
games of the day, even to q horse
race or cock fight"
Had Faith in His Decisions
Lincolr's reputation Of fairness
and ability to enforce his decisions
caused him to be selected as umpire
when there was argument about the
outcome of q cockfight, according to
Herndon. Townsmen of New Salem
looked up to him for his prodigious
feats Of strength. Once "by m ar.
rangement Of ropes and straps, har-
messed about his hips, he was en-
abled- one day at the mill to aston

Son OF Famous Oil Magnate
Anxious to Have Company's

HAS FAITH IN STEWART
Has No Suggestion to Make us
20 How Committee Can
Get at the Facts

Washington, Feb. 11.-(AP)-
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., whose
family name is synonymous with the
development Of the oil industry, told
the senate Teapot Dome committee
today that he could throw no light
on the disposition Of the Liberty
bonds Of the Continental Trading
company, of Canada.
Appearing in . committee room
choked with spectators, the son Of
the famous oil magnate expressed q
desire that the facts about the deal
and the national scandal growing
out Of it should be brought to light
80 that the reputation of the oil
business nigh be cleared, but he
could not answer the vital question
the committee propounded.
Rockefeller declared himself to
be bitterly disappointed" that Rob-
ert w. Stewart, chairman Of the
board Of the Standard Oi company
of Indiana, had risked Jail sentence
to withhold testimony before the
committee, but at the same time he
expressed the utmost confidence in
Stewards integrity.
Disagrces With Stewart
II totally disa. rec with the posi-
tion he has taken," Rockefeller said
Of Stewart, but he informed the COM
mittee that in conferences with the
chairman of the Indiana board he
had not discussed the matter, except
to receive Stewa:t's ass..ance that
neither ;mself ror his company
had profited from the Continental
deal.
Stewart was among those who
guaranteed the contract o. the Con.
tinental when that. company bqfight
oil for $50 a barrel tand res6H 1t
to Stewards and other companies for
$l.75.
It was the governments conten-
tion that $233, 900 Of the profits Of
the Continental went to Albert B.
Fall after the lease Of Teapot Dome
to Harry F. Sinclair.
Asked if he could suggest how the
committee could get at the facts
about the bonds, Rockefeller said he
had given tho subject consideration,
but nothing had suggested itself.
