Palos. May 5.—All hope that any of the forty-five white and
one hundred and fifty negro miners entombed in mine Xu. 3 of
the Palos coal and Coke company as the result of an explosion in
the mines this afternoon, may he rescued alive, has been abandoned.
It is thought that if any of the men escaped death from the explosion
they were later suffocated by black damp.
Officials of the mine say that according to their records only I in
men are in the mine, but as a number of miners were employed
tinder the contract system the list of names on their payrolls does
not include all in the mine.
The explosion is supposed to have been caused by one of the
miners going into a gas pocket .with a lighted lamp.
Birmingham, Ala., May 5.—Forty-five white men and between
130 and 140 negroes are entombed and believed to he dead in Xo. 3
coal mine at Palos tonight as the result of a terrific explosion which
occurred this morning.
Palos is forty miles west of Birmingham and the mines are
owned by the Palos Coal and Coke company of this city. Two bodies
were found early tonight but it is expected few can be recovered
before morning.
When the explosion occurred flames shot 20t> leet into the
air from the mouth of the slope. So great was the shock that mail
clerk, J. Goodsby, lot) yards away from the mouth of the mine, was
instantly killed. Timbers from the slope were hurled several hun-
dred feet from its mouth, and rocks from the roof caved in, making
access to the mouth difficult. The fan machinery was badly dam-
aged, but air is being pumped into the mine tonight in the hope
that sotlic of the men are still alive.
Local residents began at once to do what they could hut
relief work was not started in earnest until the special train from
Birmingham arrived in Palos shortly after I o'clock with four physi-
cians and surgeons, four undertakers and a number-of special helpers,
The first rescuers who went into the mine after the explosion
were overcome by five damp and had to he carried out. j. J.
Kuthledge geological survey mine rescue expert, was among tile first
to enter and after working his way 1.400 feet down the slope, found
the second right entry caved in. The two bodies recovered tonight
were in the main slope.
Fresh air is* being gradually dispelling the black damp that lias
filled the mine since the explosion and the parties are working more
rapidly.
All the bodies found are borriblt mangled and burned, some lie
vond recognition. The head of an unknown while man was found
several feet away from his body .
The work of bringing the bodies to the surface will not begin
until .tomorrow.

DEATH OF OPERATORS
PRECLUDE DETAILS
Washington, May 5.—Commending
the election system of his state. Sen-
ator Bourne of Oregon, in an extend-
ed speech in the senate today, arous-
ed a general debate on the question
of representative government which
dealt especially with the effect on the
southern states of the system of sc
lectlng federal officials for that Ac-
tion.
Mr. Bourne dwelt in terms of admi-
ration on the methods of conducting
e'ections and selecting office holders
In Oregon. "No sooner had he taken
his seat than Senator Bacon of Geor-
gia entered upon a plea for a change
whereby the southern states would be
accorded more voice in the appoint-
ment of federal officials than now.
Remarkable Document.
When Mr. Bonnie concluded, Sena-
tor Brown of Nek? jska asked general
consent that 50,000 copies of the
speech be printed for general circula-
tion A>ut Mr. Gaillnger Objected.
Mr. Brown spoke of the speech as a
“remarkable document,'' and ft Had
demonstrated that the Oregon system
was no longer an experiment.
The Georgia senator's speech evok-
ed extended remarks by Senator Car-
ter of Montana in advocacy of taking
the postoffices out of politics.
Washington. May 5.—Declaring
that his state of> Oregon -has evolved
"the best form of popular government
that exist* In the world today.’’ Sena-
tor Jonathan Bourne Jr . Republican,
today defended the election by the
Oregon state legislature of his Demo-
cratic colleague, Senator Chamber-
lain.
He characterized it as "the highest
kind of evidence of the efficacy of the
law.'' After outlining the contest Mr.
Bourne said:
“At the general election in June
Senator Chamberlain defeated Mr,
Cake uotwith: landing the state was
overwhelmingly Republican, thereby
developing from the Democratic can-
didate into the people’s choice for
United States senator. The normal
Republican xnajorii • In Oregon, I
think. Is from flftee, to twenty thou-
sand.
“With full recognition of Governor
Chamberlain's ability and fitness for
the office, the fact that for nearly six
years he made the best governor Ore-
gon ever had. and considering that
undoubtedly he is the most popular
man in our state, 1 deem ft but just
to the to* and as proper to the criti-
cism of enemies of the law that it de-
stroys party lines and integrity, to
mate that in my opinion Senator
Chamberlain received the votes of
several thousand Republican enemies
of the law who believed that In select-
ing Governor Chamberlain, a Demo-
crat, they would prevent a Republican
legislature from ratifying the people's
selection.
•'Thus they hoped to make the pri-
mary law and statement Jiff. 1 odious
and sought to create what they
thought would he an impossible con-

legislature for confirmation the popu-

The overture by tiki orchestra at
