PATHETIC SCENES OF JOY MINGLED WITH SORROW Occasionally Women and Child-'! ren Would Greet Husband and Father Unhurt, Others Would Viewed Beloved Cold in Death (By Associated Press.) - Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 23, — i Following rescue work which | continued throughout the night, 1 officials of the Woodward Iron ; C ompany, owners of . Dolomite Mine No. 3, where a dust explo-; sio trapped 474 miners yester- j day; afternoon, announced today i that 84 bodies had been taken j irorj| the mine, twenty white j and Rxty colored.

Eighty-two bodies were taken from the mine early today, of the sixty-two injured two succumbed. Officials of the company indicated that while sev eral* of those remaining in hospitals were seriously hurt, the possibility is .(.hat all will recover. Eleven white bodies and sixty-four Negroes were at one Bessemer un dertaking establishment at the same time and while a vorpse was prepar ing for burial, hundreds gathered about the streets in the vicinity of the. morgue. Near the mine hun dreds assembled early'this morning arid in frenzied impatience a-waited ’ new3 fr.om loved ones. It was a sight that has never been witnessed be fore in a southern mine disaster and one that will never be forgotten by onlookers and of course, by those di rectly interested. The explosion, it is declared by ex perts, to have been a freak and the third of its kind in this country. It was caused by the snapping of an electric cable, which in turn set off the dust which resulted in the explo sion. The concussion rocked the earth for miles around and occurred so nearly simultaneously, with the ac cident which produced it, that the victims were not aware what was happening. As the first streaks of dawn swept the eastern sky, weary watchers about the Pit appeared to renew hope that missing loveci ones might be found despite announcement that all live persons had been found. Joy occasionally rewarded women and children by workers turning uP from out of the night, following their escape from two other exits. These 1 other exits were miles from the main entrance and this caused families to be separated from those rescued for several! hours 'in some instances. Company officials announced that all bodies had been removed from the pit' and a check was made to deter mine the exact list of fatalities. Scenes of pathos about the mine mouth during the night atid early morning hours continued as relatives and families of miners known to have been in the mine when the blast occurred waited | expectantly i for news otf their loved ones. Many of these men, it was believed, had reached the surface in safety through the runway connecting the mine with minue number 2, and ha dre-entered the workings to he?P in rescue work without communicating with com pany officials or relatives. The an xious relatives, however, kept their watch about the mine mouth all night long, refusing to quit their post until they learned definitely of husbands, fathers, brothers or loved ones. Throughout the night joyous re unions occasionally relieved the sor rowful scenes.

THRICE QUESTION ON IHMNNE In Meantime Residents of Con stantinople Preparing to Leave Quickly in Eevent This Meeting Fails. (By Associated Press.) Lausanne. Nay. 23.—The question of Thrace was again before the com mission on military and territorial matters at the Lausanne conference today. Ismet Pasha made a long sjpf'h’fl on "TußftMy’.v*elim for a Pleb 'bscife in Western ' Thrace. The enthusiasm of the Turkish del egates for a Plebescite has evidently been considerably dampened by the discovery that England, Italy and France are solidly united against the claims of the Turks to Western Thrace. It was apparent today that Greece, Roumania and Jugo-Slhvia, in view to the opposition of a plebescite express ed yesterday by the entene spokes man, have the hearty support of the three great powers, in their efforts to prevent Turkey' from extending her western boundary beyond the Maritza river. AMERICANS WOULD LEAVE Constantinople, Nov. 23.—Ameri can and British interests are taking steps to remove their property and personnel in the event that the Laus anne conference fails to accomplish its purpose of establishing Peace in the Near East. The largest and oldest. British busi ness house in Turkey began today to transfer its $1,500,000 stock from the main street ofthe city to the docks so that the goods might be immedi ately removed. This action was a signal for several local firms to close. American and British concerns have chartered large steamers to car ry away their effects, and others have insured their stock against looting and incendiarism. The Near East relief today trans ferred 3,000,000 pounds of relief sup plies and additional members of its staff, together. with several hundred orphans, to Piraeus aboard the Bel gian steamer Louise.

Greene, of the merchant marine committee framed it and Edmous and Watson of Pennsylvania, defend ed it while Nelson, of Wisconsin, and Bankston, of Alabama, attacked the bill at length. It is expected that tomorrow will bring some ler> speeches on both sides- Although th e resolution which car ried provisions for unlimited amend ment and a vote °n final passage November 29, was adopted by a vote of 200 to HO, House leaders did not believe this could be taken as an in di- ation of the. final lineup on the measure. On th e basis of a survey taken after the taitinal s kirimisb how ever, majority leaders today were predicting a piargin of at least 25 votes for th e bill.
