SCENE
BoiSsevain Shafts Invaded by
Crews; Two Escapes May
Have Aided Miners

POCAHONTAs, Va, Feb. q
NIN.S.). Six hours after a
terrific blast partially wrecked
the Boissevain mine of the
Pocahontas Fuel Company, 80
mine workers were missing
today.
Rescue crews were burrow-
ing their way through debris
choked passageways in an ef-
fort to reach their trapped
comrades.
Pocahontas is in the extreme
southwestern part of the State
near the West Virginia line and
about 260 miles from Washington.
The mine is a non-gaseous oper-
alton. However, w. C. Harris,
payroll clerk, said that if the
men had escaped the force of the
blast and had subsequently at
tempted to dig their way out,
they might cut through into an
adjoining mine where gas pockets
were known to exist.
Working Very Fast
At II o'clock this morning, the
vanguard Of gri1ny, sweating res
cue crews, working at top speed,
had cut their way through to
within a half-mile of the main
heading, where the blast let go.
Officials of the mine said that
1t probably would take from two
to three hours for the crews to
hack a path to the scene Of the
blast.
The two highest officials of the
mine are WaShingtonianS. They
are I. T. Mann, preSident, and
James Ellwood, vice president in
charge of operations of the Po-
cahontas Fuel Co.
Mr.. Mann is now in Florida
and Mr.. Jones no longer main
tainS an office in Washington.
Two possible avenues of escape
were open to the trapped men if
they survived the original ex-
plosion.
One was to cut through into
the nearby shaft of the Jenkins
Jones mine. The second was to
smash a passage into adjoining

ST, EL|ZABETH'S
FUND RAISED

An appropriation of $l,245,653
for st. Elizabeth's Hospital is rec
commended in the Interior Depart
ment appropriations bill which
was reported to the House today.
Appropriations of $128,000 for
the Columbia Institution for the
Deaf, $1,O75,OOO for Howard Uni
versity, and $293,48O for Freed
mems Hospital are also advocated.
The st. Elizabeth'S Hospital ap-
preparation as recommended is an
increase of $41.633 over the 1882
appropriation, which is occasioned
by the estimated increase of pa
tientS.
The Howard University recon-
mendation covers proposed expen-
ditures for a heat, light and power
system, but advocates the non
recognition of the Budget Bureau
estimates for library construction.
The Appropriations Committee
recommended that monies hereto
fore appropriated for the library
were sufficient.
The Freedmen'S Hospital item is
for salaries, subsistence and other
miscellaneous expenses.
