.Birmingham, Ala., December 17.—
With 38 dead bodies taken from mine
No. 1, of the Yolande Coal and Coke
Company, at Yolande. Tuskaloosa
county, 35 miles from Birmingham,
up to this morning the rescuing par
ties have discovered that there is a
tire in the mines and it may be Im
possible to reach 30 or 40 more bo
dies which are in the deep entry.
The explosion was caused hv a
windy shot below the second entry.
There were 2d men gotten out
who were alive. Women and children,
together with strong men. remained
shout the mouth of the mine all night
and despite the fact that all are great
ly fagged out. the work is being push
ed looking to the taking out of th *
bodies.
Tin* ho.lies lust t (ken out were bad
ly blackened, anil as the rescuing par
ties got further into the mines the
hot air was felt and the announce
ment that fire had broken out cause*d
great lamenting to those in distress.
It Is estimaed that the death list
will approach 70. while those coming
out of the mines alive will nor g>
above 20.
State Mine Inspector Gray and As
sistant Hillhouse were joined todav
by Assistant Ed. Flynn, who was for
ears president of the miners' union.
The contract system was In vogu *
In the Yolande mines and therefor *
no definite record was kept of all tie*
men who went Into the mines .Mon-
several men working laborers
under them and using one coal
check.
CHAMP CLARK IN LINE
FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Washington. D. C.. December 17.
Representative Champ Clark's reason
for not. opposing John Sharp William*
for the minority leadership has been
explained by Mr. Williams getting off
the w.'-ys and means committee, there
by advancing the Missourian to the
seniority and putting him squarely
in line for the speakership in th-.
event the democrats capture the
house. It will he recalled that the
anti Williams faction claimed tha
th?y had the Misslsslpplan defeated
tor the minority leadership when the it
candidate upset thei* i^ans by dc
ellnlng to run. Should Mr. Wijliiin-
remain on the ways and means coin
mlttee. DcArmond, also of Missouri
No. 2 on the rules committee, would
have men in line for the speakership
ever Champ Clark, hut Mr. Williams'
retirement from the Important com
mittee makes the way clear for Mr.
Clark.
Ever since the convening of con
gr^ss the conviction has been growing
r.niong the democrats thru the next
house is to be democratic. Bt*urke
Cochran ranks next to Clark on the
ways and means committee and some
save he will be an active .candidate
for the speakership. His ahs«-ii ;e
during the whole of the last session
of the fifty-ninth congress Is treas
ured up against him. however, by
those who t«gard a seat in congress
?s something more a matter of
convenience.
ASST. POSTMASTER GENERAL.
Washington, D. C., December 17.—
Firsf Assistant! Postmaster General
Frank H. Hitchcock Iras been depos
ed by President Roosevelt as dispen
ser of postoffice patronage in the
South, and in future the duty of
handling this patronage will devolve
upon Postmaster General Meyer. The
change will create a sensation among
the federal officeholders who have
been in with the plans of the first
assistant.
The action of President Roosevelt
is attributed to the disclosures fol
lowing the attempt to remove Mrs.
Gilmer and Mrs. Melton as postmas
ters at Toccoa and Conyers.
Mr. Roosevelt has been convinced
that Hitdheock has been using the
heavy patronage at his disposal to
further the political interests of
George B. Cortelyou. who is practi
cally in the open as a candidate foi
the republican nomination for prosi
dent.
