TWO Hl'XDRED KILLED
IN COAL MINE FIRE
Entombed in Flaming* Eccles, West
Virginia, Men Are Relieved to
lie Dead.
Eccles, W. Ya., April 2S.?All hope
for the rescue of the 203 miners
entombed by an explosion t >day in
mines No. > and 0 of the New River
Collieries company here was abondoned
late lonight. Rescuers were unable
to force their way into th .> burning
shafts.
General Manager Bayles of the
New River Collieries company announced
at midnight that the 190
miners entombed in mine No. o are
dead. Mr. Mayles said the disas.er
"was due to a dust explosion.
Eleven bodies have been recovered
from mill"1 Xo. (!, a connecting
operation, and six men are missing.
Fifty-nine men, all seriously burned,
were rescued from this operation.
Rescue work la:e tonight was at
a standstill because of the lire and
gases. Renewed efforts to open a way
into the mine Xo. 5 will be made in the
morning
me aeptn 01 tne two mam snaits is
GOO feet and the mines are connected
under ground. There are two other
shafts into the mines, but the explosion
totally wrecked three of tne
four. The lone en:rance leads into
mine No. f> and. by means of it the
rescues were made. No. 5 mine apparently
is completely shut off from
the surface and rescuers hold little
hope of reaching the large number
of mei} in time to save them.
Traveled Into Other >Iine.
The explosion occurred in mine Xo.
i. .The two shafts of this mine were
demolished. It is believed the explosion
traveled through this mine
into Xo. 6. One shaft of ;he larter
mine was wrecked but the odier remaining
intact and was the salvation
of at least 59 of the workmen.
This little mining community of 1,
oOO persons was shaken by t:ie muitled
rumbling of the explosion. At
first there was no smoke but men of
ilie tipples knew that far under
ground the toll of death was being
taken.
Superintendent Thomas Donaldson
of mine No. 3, another operation of
the company, and o:her company officials
were ac the scene of the disaster
within a short time. Superintendent
Donaldson and an expert rescue crew
-were lowered down the shaft of Xo.
t> mine. F^r a time the crowd of
frightened women and children at
the tipples waited in suspense, but
soon the signal came to hoist away
and the cage appeared. It bore two
men badly hur:, a few of the rescue
party and two bodies.
Bring Back Men.
Other trips were made as rapidly
as possible and each time blackened
and burned miners were brought to
the surface until 59 living and four
dead had been brought up. The injured
were assis:ed to nearby houses,
where physicians waited to care for
them.
The rescued men expressed doubt
that any of the 13 miners still in No.
? shaft would be taken out alive.
Some of the men said portions of Xo.
5 was badly wrecked, and they believed,
the entrance connecting Xo.
t> mine witn .\o. > naa Deen aesiroyea.
Of :he bodies recovered two are of
Americans, one of a foreigner and the
f'uirth of a negro. A large portion
of the miners employed here arc
Americans.
A United States government rescue
car reached the mines trom Bluehelds,
W. Va., at 5 o'clock and ano her will
arrive here from Pittsburg, Pa., at
noon tomorrow.
The New Riwr Collieries' company
is connectcd with the Guggenhiem interests.
The rescue par ies worked throughout
the evening. Their combined efforts
were directed to mine No. 5,
where the 100 men are entombed.
Notwithstanding the feverish haste
of the rescuers they made litile progress
from shaft No. 6 in o shaft No.
5 because of the intense heat and
gases.
Many women were induced to seek
their home tonigh|t am'd there was
little excitement at the mines.
Work Well in Hand.
Although the rescuers were making
slow progress and had expressed
little hope of getting the entombed
men in No. o mine out a live, they had
he work'\vell in hand. At 10 o'cclock
they had installed new fans, making
the task oi boring into mine No. 5
less difficult.
The Xew River Collieries company
tonight ordered two carloads of
coffins.
The present mine disaster is the
first of considerable extent in West
Virginia in several years. It is probably
second only in fatalities to the
Monongahela explosion in December.
1907, when 336 miners lost their
lives.

FEDERAL REGUGLARS

President Orders Troops to Scene of
Recent Coal Strike Disorder.
I
Washington, April 28.?Presiden:
1 Wilson today ex;ended*the protecting
arm of the federal government to the
. State of Colorado, where, bee. .e of
riots and pitcherd battles between
j strike breakers and striking miners,
! Gov. Amnions had found the State
; militia unable to cope with the situaI
tion and asked for help. The Col;
orado delegation in congress, mine
owners and miners themselves joined
in the request.
' It was one of the rare occurrences
in American history when a State
! found itself impotent to assert its au;
thority, bu : the president, in a tele!
gram to Ue Colorado governor, exj
pressly stipulated that the federal
troops would confine themselves to
' maintaining order only "until the
1 S ate can reassert its authority and
: resume the enforcement thereof."
Th? president issued a proclamai
tion ordering all persons engaged in
' domestic violence to disperse and
j "retire peacfeably to their abodes''
before April 30. Secretary Garrison
: after a conference with ihe president,
ordered three troops of the
! Fifth cavalry from For; Leavenworth
' and two troops of the Twelfth cavarly
from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., to
j Trinidad and CanonCit y, respectively.
.The proclamation read:
| "By the President of ;he United States
of America?A Proclamation:
' "Whereas, it is provided by the conI
sti'.ution of the United States that ;he
1 United States shall protect every
! S ate in this Union on application ot

j (when the legislature can not be con!
vened) against domestic violence;
| "And whereas, the governor of the
j State of Colorado has represented that
: domestic voilence exists in said State
| which the authorities of said S ate
i were unable to suppress and has repI
res-ented that it is impossible to conI
vene the legislature of this State in
I time to meet the present emergency;
\ and
AVhereas. the laws of the United
States require that in all cases of in'
surrection in any State or of obstruction
to the laws thereof, whenever in
| the judgment of the president it.be'
comes necessary to use the military
I
r'orcos to suppress such insurrection
! or obstruction of the laws, he shall
! forthwith, by proclamation, command
i such insurgents to disperse and rej
tire peacefully ro their respective
! abodes within a limted time;
"Xow, therefore, I, Wood row' Wil;
