MONONGAH, W. Va.,
Dec. 6. — Six charred bodies
lying in the improvised
morgue, five men near death
in the hospital and 369 men
imprisoned by tons of coal,
rock and mine debris in the
depth of the hills surround
ing this mining town, with
chances all against a single
one of them being alive, is
the most accurate summary
obtainable at 11 o'clock to
night of the results of a mine
explosion today, which, in all
probability, was attended by
.crcater loss of life tha n any for
mer disaster in the history of trie
bituminous coal mining industry
of America.
The list of employes of mines'
Xos. 6 and 8 of the Consolidated
coal company at Monongah has
been checked off, showing that
380" were in the two mines when
the explosion occurred. Neither
entry has been opened to the real
workings, and the indications are
that a majority if not all cf those
caught in the mines are dead. It
is rumored here that mine officials
have ordered SSO coffins shipped to
Moner.gah as soon as possible.
The explosion occurred shortly a.fter
10 o'clock today. The mines are located
on opposite sides of the west fork of
the river at that place, but merged in
tbeir underground workings by a head
ing- and on the surface by a great steel
tipple and bridge.
The finding: of the six bodies and the
five dying men is the only reward of
uninterrupted labor by the large rescu
ing force that immediately set to work
at every possible point.
\u25a0 \u25a0 .
TELL OK MniGGLB
The living men. while unable to give
any detailed report of the disaster, state
tfazt. i'.'incdi.itcly back of them when
they began their frantic struggle for
liberty^ there was a large number of
men er.gaKPd in a similar struggle.
Trhil"? still farther back in the workings
tbere was a. larger number, of whom
they Knew nothing.
It is the opinion of the mine officials
end others familiar with mining that
these seven men had not penetrated
the mine as far as had the majority of
the day shift when the explosion oc
curred, and that they headed for and
reached the main entrance before tha
ravcJn that now blocks the entrance
not more than » few hundred feet
from the main opening of mine No. C.
As the miners are referred to by the
rescued men as having been alive when
last *ecn. It is believed they were
caught back of a. heavy cavein and
could not have *urviv«d more than a
f«»w minutes In the deadly gases with
which the entry filled as soon as the
ventilating system was interrupted.
HAVE LITTLE HOPE
There is more hope for those in more
remote sections of the mine, as they
may have reached workings wh^re
irech air Is supplied by other opening?,
but at best only the most slender hope
}* entertained for the survival of any
one of the men in the mine when the
debris can be cleared away and com

The two mines regularly employ
l.ono men, working in two shifts — 500
during the day and 500 during the
night'— and the best information ob
tainable at this time is that 3SO men of
the day force had gone to work this
morning, and that all were caught- It

CONVERSION OF
COLTON ESTATE
ASSETS CHARGED
Serious Accusation Against
Walter j. Bartnett and
J. Dalzell , Brown :\
DECEIT IS ALLEGED
Said to Have Concealed
Knowledge of Impending
Bank Failure
BONDS AND COIN GONE
Trust 'Officials Accused of
Shipping Securities Out
of California
Pending a thorough
into the affairs of the estate of. the
late Ellen \u25a0M. Colton, widow, of the
late David D. Colton, the superior
court of. Santa Cruz county yesterday
issued an order suspending Walter J.
Bartnett, vice president and general
counsel for the California safe deposit
and trust company, as special adminis
trator of that part of the estate which
is in litigation. The order was granted
on a petition filed by the lawyers for
Helen M. B. Sacher, granddaughter
of Mrs. Colton, and a contestant of
her will, making allegations against
Bartnett of breach of trust and at
tempting to deceive the court. These
lawyers are Barclay Henley, J. ,F.
raiey, Benjamin X.. Knight and Crit
tenden" Thornton. According: to • the
petition, Bartnett and J. Dalzell Brown
are guilty of concealing their knowl
edge of the Impending: failure of the;
California safe- deposit and! trust com
pany for some months,,brfo re. the crash
came. It is alleged that they^-failed
to K"ive notice to the;. attorneys for the
contestant of the comlns: trouble. The
petition also recite* that,' despite;, the
fact - that the" court of £anta Cruz
coun tv, •_ i n ; wh i c h: the. - e s ta^t,^ ift '. bei'n s;;
administered, had. ordered that Ithe
securities constituting the assets of
the estate should ' be ' safeguarded in
the vaults of the safe deposit com
pany. Bartnett and J. Dalzell Brown
admitted to the " ( bank commissioners
that $75,000 in money had been burned
in the fire and that. ?200,000 in stocks
and bonds had been sent, to New. York
for safe keeping. .
SAFBTV. OF'ASSKTS
The petition sroes on to say that seven
months after the fire of April IS. 1906,
Bartnett and Brown testified under oath
before the superior court of Santa Cruz
county that nt that tLme there was de
posited in the vaults of the deposit^
company the entire amount of the as
sets of the estate, consisting of approx
imately 1325,000 ' in bonds and stock
and $76,000 in cash or negotiable paper
of various kinds.
At that time the court ordered that
the entire assets of the estate be placed
on deposit with the California safe de
posit and trust company and constituted
that company the official depository for
such stock and bonds and cash as might
come into the hands of Bartnett as spe
cial administrator. The order forbade
the sending^of any. of such assets from
the state under any pretext whatever.
Following his testimony as to' the dis
position of the funds of the estate,
Bartnett gave .bonds of $20,000, with
David J. Walker and J. Dalzell Brown
acting as sureties. Since r.!je suspension
of the trust company these, sureties, so
the petition declares, are "each of them
, utterly insolvent."
In continuing the charges the order
of suspension asserts that, "the said
California safe deposit and trust com
pany is likewise insolvent and unable to
pay its debts and that. its officers are
not in possession of the ; stock and
bonds as aforesaid receipted for by it,
and that -its officers have concealed,
embezzled and transported the! said
etock and bonds out of the . state of
California, which amounts to a conver
sion of and an embezzlement of \u25a0 them,
and that its officers have given false
and inconsistent accounts of the where
abouts of the said stock and bonds, and
that the said Walter J. Bartnett is lack
ing in integrity as to make him an unfit
person to act as special administrator
of th« estate." ' •
TEMPORARILY SUSPEVDED

issued a. perfunctory order enjoining
Bartnett to show cause why his sus
pension should not be made permanent
and suspending him until lurtfcef order
of th« court. .; • - , -

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
'WASHINGTON*. Dee. 6.— Members of
the republican national committee are
inclined to think the convention will
be held, in Chicago and not in Kansas
City.. Chicago has been lukewarm. until
today, 'but Frank O.Lowden, commit
'teeman from Illinois, came forward this
morning with an invitation from Chi
cago that made Kansas City's teeth
rattle. Chicago offers . ati auditorium
seating 14,000 persons, .and will meet
all expenses of the subcommittee. Sev
eral members -holding^out to get a bet
ter offer from Chicago admitted pri
vately that they were doing it more to
tease' Lowden than anything else. They
were for Chicago anyhow, they said.
and even- if Chicago made no more
offers they would vote for her.
If : the convention goes to Chicago
it will be taken by politicians to mean
that anti-Taft forces are in the sad
dle. The national committee is- be
lieved to be against Taft. . The. selec
tion of the convention city will be a
test as to the truth of this suspicion.
Kansas City is in the heartof the Taft
sentiment, while Chicago will be re
garded as a Cannon center or a rally
ing ground of the field against Taft.. ,
LOOKS BAD FOR TAFT :'
"The sudden strength of : movement
for. Chicago is universally regarded to
day, as- an exhibition of anti-Taft
strength with the other presidential
candidates who. do not appear to be
considered in this connection. It is the
field against Taft, or rather the field
against RoqseVelt over Taft's shoulder.
Arthur Vorys, Taft's manager, said he
did not care which city* got the con
vention. This announcement was a
blow to Kansas City.' and' Jay H.Neff,
the chairman, of that city's delegation,
admitted; that -there; had been a lessen
ing, of Kansas City sentiment.
, ""We will-be sorry," he* said, "if thft
big game of politics is played now to
otir disadvantage. "We are not taking
part in the; national aspect of the se
lection. Our organization is nonpartl
san." -
Other considerations, however, ap
peared to enter into the apparent
change in ! sentiment, and to account for
the growth of Chicago talk. A promi
nent member of : the .national 'commit
tee explained It -a s follows :
CHICAGO IjA V; DORMANT
"Up to now Kansas City has. had the
swing, taking it" by default. Chicago
would "not! come to the' front with any
kind of a proposition. :: That was not
,ths kind of spirit to be countenanced
by the national ' : committee. . Moreover,
when ;it began" to look .as Kansas
City was really likely to get it, ob-'
jectlona were raised.
"The' .newspapers complained that
telegraphic ; facilities .were: Inadequate
in- Kansas City. Eastern men .'thouglit
the additional 12 .hours* railroad* travel
would be an item of expense to bs con

SPECIAL DISFATCH TO THE CALL
GOLDFjEILD,:Nev., Dec.
6>— The .residents of Gold
field have" not recovered-from
the surprise of the intelli
gence that troops had been
ordered to this point. There
had. been nothing to indicate
that trouble was imminent
until tonight, when it was
discovered that an attempt
had been made to dynamite
the local power line. The
success of this attempt would
have left the town in dark
ness, and brought to fruition the
threat of the hot heads in the
union to prevent the hoisting of
water/ and to flood the mines.
This phase of the trouble is most
important, as the cessation of all
work will entail destruction of
workings in the mines through
caving.
Patrolmen discovered 100 sticks
of giant powder scattered around
three poles near the place where
the line crosses the railroad track,
two mile* from the city. Holes had
been bored into two of th« poles, and
caps^had been exploded, but the pow
der, being: frozen, failed to ignite.
