WORKS
Panic and Fire Follow, Wives
Rush to Rescue; Many Saved
As Men Change Their Shifts

ALSDORF, Germany, Oct. ,2i
U.NS)-Forty men we're killed
and so injured, many Of them
seriously, when two terrific explo-
sions wrecked the Aana Mine at
Aachen, near here, today, accord.
ing to the latest official check-up.
The first blast was a dynamite
explosion 800 feet below the sur.
face, which virtually wrecked the
mine. The second was detona-
ton Of a bezine supply on the
surface, which shattered the ad-
ministration buildings.
First reports estimated that
some 2,00C men were entombed by
the blast, with rescue squads ham.
pered by terrific heat generated
by flames which burst forth after
the explosion.
% Bodies Found
A benzine store located irnnleii.
ately below the mine administra.
ton buildings exploded shortly
after the main blast, blowing
apart ohe closely grouped struc.
lures and killing a number Of of.
flee workers. ReScuers picked up
% bodies shortly after and rushed
80 badly injured others to the hos.
pital.
The explosion was heard for
miles, Shattering thousands of
windows and shaking the sur.
rounding country with the viol-
ence of an earthquake.
Railway service between Her.
zogenrath and Stolberg was sus-
pended.
AS the gigantic flame burst
forth in the wake Of the plaSt,
which lit up the locality like q
flash of lightning, the winding
machinery Of the mine was lie
stroyed and two lifts crowded
with miners crashed to the bot
tom of the shaft.
Many Make Escape.
The miners who were chang
ing shifts underground scrambled
for the exits, and most Of them
made a miraculous escape q few
moments before the mine and the
buildings above it were reduced
to ShambleS.
Rescue workers who rushed to
the scene were relieved to lind
that the majority Of the miners
lad made their escape, and all
efforts were directed Immediately
toward saving those entombed in
the wrecked shaft.
Thick, choking fumes covered
the entire mine. The entire popu-
lace for miles around rushed fran.
tically to the scene Of disaster,
taxing police guards to the ut
most. The Red Cross at Aachen
and other nearby cities was mo-
bilized and hurried to the mine.
Heavy details Of extra police
were rushed to the mine to pre-
vent the thousands Of despairing
women and children of AlSdorf
from hampering rescue efforts in
their needless efforts to rush at
the Stretcher bearers.
Efforts to identify the dead were
begun Immediately.

NAVAL FARLEY
SECRECY BLOW
AT CONFIDENCE
Effect on Public Opinion of
Closed Sessions Is
Detrimental.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Scripps Howard Foreign Editor

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Is the pea
soup fog which suddenly settled
over London on the opening day of
the five-power naval conference,
shutting out the light, distorting
commonplace objects into hobgob-
Inns, and forcing people to lose their
way to be considered symbolic?
Today in the historic st. James
palace, from where Charles walked
across the park to be beheaded, the
American, British, japanese, French
and Italian delegations are closeted
for their first real woraday pie
nary session. The session is secret.
1t is true that stenographers are
present and verbatim reports are
promised to correspondents later.
These reports may even appear
along with this. But the effect on
public opinion can not fail to be
unfortunate.
Already behind the scenes here
cynical observers are asking: eyes,
but how are we to know how much
has been left out?"
The explanation that st. James
rooms are too small entirely fails to
satisfy. Critics point out that the
preliminary disarmament commits
sion of the League of Nations holds
public meeting and that heated
verbal passages at arms between the
delegates serve to clear the air and
to increase public confidence.

Taylor general store at Oolitic.
A stolen car found in possession
of Gibson led to the arrests. The
car was said to have been stolen in
Terre Haute.
Those arrested have served SEN

La Guardia Is Persistent
Opponent of Dry Lac

His congressional service was in
terrupted by the World war, in
which he served as an aviation ma
jor on the Italian front, and later
for two years, when he was alder
manic president of New York.
Whatever descriptive merit La
Guardia's first name, which means
little flower" may have had when
it was bestowed, has been lost dur
ing the forty-eight years Of his busy
life. He is short and stocky, with
the swsrthy complexion and hair
of the Latin.
In debate on the floor he sug-
gests a fighting cock, more than a
flower. He talks rapidly, his right
arm working like a piston, to en-
phasize every statement.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-1t is a
dull day in the house Of represen-
tatives when the high-pitchcd voice
of Fiorello H. La Guardia is not
raised against the eighteenth
amendment and the volstead law.
The Republican congressman
from Harlem. recently defeated by
James Walker for the New York
mayoralty, is the most persistent
proponent in congress Of the anti
prohibition cause. When less en-
thusiastic vets virtually gave up
the fight last year, La Guaria went
bhthely on filling the Congressional
Record with anti-prohibition argu-
ments.
Now, his colleagues give him most
of the credit for regeneration Of
the beer bloc" and for its ambitious
propaganda campaign. Despite dis
agreements among its forty de-
pendable members, the wet group
has reorganized and adopted a
definite program
Although not an officer in the
wet organization, La Guardia will
be a leader in its campaign to
smoke out" members who neither
are wet nor dry before the next
election and to keep the prohibition
issue alive.
La Guardia's belief in the harm
lessness of alcoholic beverages is
ingrained. The son of an Italian
immigrant and army bandmaSter, La
Guardia was brought up on the fare
which includes table wine. Ever
since entering congress in 1916 he
has been an opponent of prohibition.
He still serves beer and wine at
home and several times publicly has
invited prohibition agents to inter

by Ogden; Rail Labor
Leaders lrate.

Governor Harry G.. Leslie today
appointed a railroad commission, -
which, according to an unofficial
opinion of Attorney-General James
NJ. ogden, given railroad labor men
during the 1929 legislature, can per-
form no useful service"
BY terms of the 1929 legislative
act the commission shall present
the various phases Of their problems
and shall endesvor by mutual con-
ferenceS TO develop a solution TO
the various problems on which dis
agreement exists
The resolution was passed over
vigorous opposition OF railway labor
organizations, who with friendly leg
islators, regarded it as "derail' to
O number of their own measures.
This proved to be the result.
Labor Leaders Irate
Railway labor leaders ire was in
creased when Governor Leslie signed
the act. The Governor, they de-
clared, either disregarded the dero-
gatory opinion Of the attorney-gen-
eral or had not gone to the bother
of getting one.
Ogden had given an unofficial
opinion to William II. Lee, state rep
resentative and locomotive engineer
of Princeton, that the resolution Is
so indefinite and uncertain in all its
provisions that it practically
amounts to nullity'
1.-THE resolution" Ogden wrote,
"does not state what matters are to
be submitted or considered by the
commission when created, nor intel
llgently direct what duties the COM
mission shall perform"
Ogden further pointed out that
the resolution did not designate the
-four major railroads of the state
Or ''the four railroad brotherhoods;"
made no financial provision for pub
lication Of its report and lacked any
provision for enforcement.

was enacted the resolution can
