HUNT GUN IN DEATH MYSTERY
Imprisoned Miners Doomed
187 Entombed in West Virginia
Colliery Disaster Believed
Dead, Making Total 198.
s
ECCLES, W. VA, April 29.—Flames
and great clouds of smoke pouring
from Mine No. 5 and Mine No. 6 of
the New River Collieries Company to
day drove back heroic rescuers, and
all' hope was abandoned of rescuing
any of the 187 miners still entombed
there as the result of the explosion:
vesterday afternoon. All are believed
to be dead.
Manyv explosions were heard during
the night, indicating that “gas pock
ets"” had been ignited by the fire,
One hundred and seventy-seven of
the men given up for dead are in
Mine No. 5. Ten are trapped in Mine
No. 6 from which eleven bodies have
heen taken—silent witnesses to the
force of the blast.
With 187 men still In the mines
given up for dead, the total death list
is 198, which is, with one exception,
the worst mine disaster in the State’s
history.
Sixtv-five men, who escaped by
their own efforts from Mine No. 6. or
were brought out by rescuers before
the flames checked further efforts
owe their lives to the fact that they
were near the surface when the ex
plosion occurred. Many of them suf
fered severe injuries and some will
die.
Governor Aids Rescuers.
Governor Henry D. Hatfield and
other State officials are on the ground
lend all aid possible, State Mine
Chief Henry and a corvps of assist
ants worked all nignt in an attempt
to penetrate the wall to shaft No. 5.
They were relieved at dawn by anoti
er force.
All these men had to work with ex
treme care, as any opening might per
mit a rush of flames that would trap
the rescuers.
Tossing feverishly upon a cot in the
im;|ru\i~m] hospital, Steven Moro
waski, one of the rescued miners, told
in broken sentences the story of tne
scenes in the interior of the mine,
following the explosion. His was the
first story of the disaster by an eye
witness, and as he related it Moro
waski, who is a naturalized Ameri
can citizen. rolled upon hig cot, his
body racked with pain and his mind
torn with the memory of the horror
of the scenes.
Tells Agonizing Story.
“We were working as usual,” whis
pered Morowaski in a voice that could
barely be heard. “Suddenly there was
a deafening roar, then a wall of flame
swept through the chaft It came
without warning, but we instinctively
threw ourselves upon our faces. The
noise nearly burst our ears; our lungs
were filed with fire, it seemed. The
air was o full of gas we choked when
we tried to breathe.”
{s he whispéred his story, his wife
eat swaving and weeping at the bed
side, her three small children, wild
eved frightened and wondering,
clinging to her. The attending doc.
ing doctor had told Mrs. Morowaski
that her husband would probably not
live until night
Morowaski -feebly resumed his sto
ry, as follows
“Things seemed to be whirling
around. My head was dizzy. M
lungs were choked with fire and
smoke. I thought my body was burst.
ing. My last thought was, ‘My God,
it's death'’ Then I fainted. The next
thing 1 knew I opened my eyes In
here. 1 never knew such a blessed
moment
I don't know how many men were
in the same chamber with me. Ithink
there were twe!ve. Poor devils, I hope
they are saved.”

Man Found Dead in Piedmont
oy
Thought Murder Victim. |
Bullet in Head. .
Detectives visited Piedmont Park
Wednesday, prior to the inquest on
the death of the man whose hody was
discovered ihe previous evening, 2
bullet hole in the head, in a wooded
ravine at the north end of the lake.
Coroner Donehon was inclined ta
the theory of murder, and the detec
tives' search was largely devoted to
an affort to find the revolver with
which the man's death had been ac
complished. The bullet, found in the
brain of the dead man, was .38 cali
ber. Two cartridges of that size were
found in his coat pocket
Perhaps thie strongest reason for
doubting the suicide theory was found
in the fact that there appeared to be
no powder burns about the wound,
although it was of so great a size
that it suggested the explosive effects
of a revolver at very close range
Came From South Georgia.
The wound was just back of his
left ear, the bullet going nearly
through the head.
No letters or other means of iden
tification were found in the pockets
The name “Paul” was stamped on the
inside of the man’s collar, and the
initials “P. G.” were written on it
with pen and Ink
The coat was tailor made, and qurr"
the mark, “T. M. C. C 0.,” of Chicago.
A gray hat was marked “BoH. Levy
Brother & (o, Savannah and Bruns
wick,” and was newer than the rest
of the clothing, which the police take
to indicate that the man came here
from South Georgia ;
Marks on the dead man's face and
head apparently indicated a struggle
before death. The left eye was hlack
and swollen and bac k of the right ear
was a large lumj
Change Found i Pocket. |
Both of these marks, however
might have resulted from the explo
sive force of the rvevolver 'shot, the
lump back of the ear being cause d by
the action of the bhullet
The body, which is at the undei
taking rooms of A. O. and Fo Done
hoo. is that of a man about 30 vears
old: five feet ix inches in height;
\nd weighing about 150 pounds His
feet were small for his size his
shoes being No. 5 He had gray
eves, and there was a three-days
growth of beard on his face
When found in the park the body
lav on its back, the right amm oul

Eighty-four Yankees Now in Jalf

rages Reported.
VERA CRUZ, April 29. —
Three Americans are being held
for $125,000 ransom by Huertis
tas at Aguas Calientes, accord
. / . .
ing to an official report received
to-day by Arnold Shanklin, for
mer American Consul General at
Mexico City.
The prisoners are A. B. Emery.
a mining engineer; (. A. Smith,
a mining engineer, and Walter
liikel, a hardware merchant.
The report eame to Mr. Shank
lin by train from Mexico City. It
has mnot been confirmed from
other soureas. Thirty otlier
Americans are said to have paid
the same amount to the Huerta
troops and were allowed to go to
Mexico City.
News has reached here that 48 more
Americans have heen arrested by the
Federals at CCordoba, making a total
of 8¢ who are now in prison there,
An unconfirmed report says that
six of the Americans imprisoned there
have been taken out and killed. Ad
miral Fletcher and Consul Canada
have taken steps to have this report
investigated. :
Train From Capltal Arrives,
D. F. Anderson, of Texas, manager
of the Mexican Land and Cattle
Company, I 8 reported to have heen
killed at Cosmolpotam, about sixty
miles south of Vera Cruz by a mob
that heat him to death because he
was an American. The report {s un
confirmed.
The overdue train from Mexico
City bringing more refugees whose
non-arrival caused much anxiety,
came in late last evening with more
than a hundred Americans aboard
The delay had been due to the lack
of competent engineers, the bad con
dition of the road and the great pre
cauttons taken to insure safety.
News of the mediation by Argen
tina, Brazil and Chile has been re
celved here and has caused great
uncertainty. General Funston, upon
landing, received orders from Wash
ingfon, the nature of which he de
clined to divulge, He says that his
present force is not large enough to
enahle him to do more than occupy
Vera (‘ruz. He doesa not know wheth.
er more troops are coming, but in
fers thnt there will ba no advance to
Mexicn ('ity at present.
Discipline Splendid.
The American flag has been raised
over the famous old Mexican fort of
Ran Juan de I'lloa
Admira! Fletcher has rescinded the
order giving American sailors and
marines authority to shoot down
‘“‘snipers.”
Ag an evidence of the splendid dis
ecipline that prevails among the na

Admiral that not one sailor has been
tried on a charge of misconduct since
