Jackson, Cal., Sept. 18.—A
note from William Fessel, one of
the dead miners, was found.
‘ ‘ Three a. m. Gas is getting too
strong. We are going to leave
you.—William Fessel.”
Fessel was the husband of Mrs.
Annette Fessel, and father of
■Cynthia, aged 15 years.
His note was written on the
back of a bulkhead.
A note written on paper, now
in the hands of William Sinclair,
foreman of the Kennedy mine,
said: ‘‘Three a. m. gas very
bad.” Then there was a space
and below a rudely scrawled
figure ”4.”
BY ERNEST J. HOPKINS,
Special Correspondent of Universal
Service.
Jackson, Cal., Sept. 19.—The Ar
-gonaut mine has given up its secret.
The answer is "death.”
All 47 miners are dead. At the
latest 'report bodies had been found
though not identified.
Rescue crews, entering the 4,350
foot drift early Monday evening and
■crashing their way through two bulk
•heads which the men had built, found
themselves face to face with a grew
some sight.
Two rows of corpses, lying side by
side, were ranged along the drift be
hind the second bulkhead. The men
t ihad stripped off their clothing to plug
the bulkhead and were naked.
One row of bodies was in the main
•drift and the other at the entry of a
fork or cross-cut departing from the
main drift at that point.
To this underground cross roads
the entrapped miners had crept in
their endeavor to wall themselves into
■safety' from the fumes of fire, and
that supposed place of refuge became
their common grave.
raeatn naa come not not from star
vation, but from gas fumes and it
a had come in the earlier days, perhaps
“ the earliest moments of the disaster.
This was established by the condi
tion of the bodies, which were not
•emaciated; but the position, which
showed that the men had lain down
side by side like brothers to die; and
by the condition of the second or in
ner bulkhead, which was but partial
ly built.
This bulkhead was loosely put up
across Jhe tunnel. Its timbers had
gaping spaces between them and it
offered absolutely no protection
against noxious gas or smoke. Some
attempt had been made to fill up its
seams with loose earth from the bot
tam of a nearby raise, but this again
had not been carried through to com
pletion.
It is thought they were overcome
-while building the bulkhead.
The men had climbed too high in
Iho mine.
This fact had caused theii- death.
It was possible, on the almple evi
dence to reconstruct the picture of
what had happened.
Working, as is known, on the 4,500,
4,600 and 4,800 foot levels, they had
ascended by man-ways or by ladders
of the main shaft.
The miners, under a leadership
which will never be known, went as
far forward toward the shaft as they
could, and threw a timber bulhead
across the drift with the furious
speed of men who race for life.
To make it air tight, they tore off
every stitch of clothing and drove the
cloth garments into the cracks that
yesterday was found between the
pieces of lagging.
The building of this bulkhead
could not, according to miners have
occupied many minutes. To all ap
pearences it was air tight.
Then why the second bulkhead?
It could only have been built, say
the men of Jackson, because after the
first one was constructed the drift
was still found full of air too foul to
breathe, air laden with carbon diox
ide and cabon monoxide gas. Air
that brought, with every breath that
deadly faintness.
The second bulkhead was never
Death cut short the task.
There was no demonstration at the
shafthead or in the stricken town of
Jackson when the news became
known.
All day the gates of the Kennedy
mine had been guarded, and the
number admitted to the grounds was
few.

FOUR SHOT DOWN IN
MARYLAND MINE RIOT
^ Cumberland, Md., Sept. 18 (A. P.)—
Pour men were shot, two of them
probably fatally in a clash between
striking miners and non-union miners
today at the Potomac mind of the
Hoffa Brothers' coal company at
Barton, "VV. Va., 25 miles west of
Cumberland.
"The burlesque business needs no
Will Hays," says Sliding Billy Wat
scattered to the homes of the miners
Camilles to carry their suffering sis
ters through the hours of unbearable
suspense.
The result was that when the news
Cinally reached the surface, after
various premonitory bulletins had
come from the depths, there was not
a sob, not an outcry, not a sign of
hysteria.
Crowd Hears Full Tale.
Solemnly the crowd heard the full
tale of its dead, and as solemnly,
with bowed head and eyes that
sought other eyes in silent commun
ion, filed along the pathways, a fu
neral cortege of grief unmarred by
pomp.
Discovery of the bodies followed
hard upon an hour’s interval dedi
cated to a general upflare of hope,
it was at 6:12 o’clock that Byron C.
PickartJ, bureau of mines official in
charge of the rescue work, tele
phoned to the surface that his men
had encountered the first bulkhead
on the 4.350 cross-cut.
The rescue workers smashed this
bulkhead down with a few sharp
blows. They were greeted by an
outrush of foul air.
Waiting a brief time for the drift
to clear, the party advanced onward
to the second bulkhead. Peering
through this rude barrier with the
aid of flashlights, they were unable
to discern any signs of bodies, dead
or alive.
It was necessary to bring com
pressed air to the spot, through hose,
before entry could be made.
During the hour’s delay that fol
lowed, there was a desperate renew
al of optimism above ground.
“Walled Themselves In.”
"They walled themselves in,” ar
gued miners. They did not scatter
at the oulset into the gate of the
Muldoon shaft.
The 4,350 level has plenty of fresh
water. The first bulkhead was
airtight. At their rear are manways
communicating with the drifts below,
perhaps they walked up those drifts
too, and had plenty of air.
“Since they tore off their clothing,
they had time to plan and act. They’ll
be found alive.”
It was the courageousness of hope,
using false logic as a weapon against
despair.
Soon the finding of the pitiful
windrow of 47 corpses set at rest all
rumors and speculations forever.

TO STRIKE OCTOBER 1
Universal Service.
Chicago, Sept. 13.—Walkout of
5,000 union seamen on vessels plying
the Great Lakes was ordered Monday
for October 1. *
Practically 65 per cent, of the lake

coal famine there was expressed
Monday.

Milwaukee Station, Hotel and
Many Stores Wiped Out by
Blaze Starting in Small
Building.
Geddes, S. D„ Sept. 18 (Special.)—
Fire Sunday morning at 4 o'clock
broke out In an out building at the
rear of Slddon’s hardware store and
swept north on the east side of Main
street in Platte, S. D., clearing every
thing in its path clear through to the
Milwaukee tracks except two small
concrete buildings. The Milwaukee
passenger station and telegraph of
fice were destroyed, although prac
tically all of the station records and
office furnishings as well as all
freight and express were saved. The
telegraph and telephone lines were
badly damaged and communication
is cut off. The damage is placed at
a quarter of a million dollars.
The Wilson hotel, Siddon’s hard
ware store, Watson's garage, Van
dervoorts grocery store, Kutcher &
Gelfond's general store, Shuneman
carpenter shop, Fullerton’s coal shed
were a total loss.
There was much damage to plate
glass and many other buildings were
scorched.
The fire department was on the
scene promptly, but the heat was so
intense and the wind was so strong
from the south that it was almost
impossible to stop the onward rush
of the flames until they reached the
railroad tracks.
Practically all of the Platte citizens
are exhausted from the hard strug
gle with the flames. The town is
thronged with visitors viewing the
ruins.
Platte is one of the best towns Id
this part of the state.
Plans are already being discussed
for the building of a new hotel to re
place the one burned and it is ex
pected that most of the business
firms burned out will re-establish as
soon as rebuilding can be completed.
MUG TD VETO
Both Sides Accept This as
Foregone Conclusion and
Passage Over His Action
Is Not Likely.
BY WINDER R. HARRIS,
Universal Service Correspondent.
Washington, Sept. 18.—On the eve
of President Harding’s veto of the
soldier bonus bill, which Is now ac
cepted by both sides as a foregone
conculsion, Universal Service Is priv
ileged Sunday night to reveal the
Senate leaders’ final official check
up on the question of overriding the
veto.
Tills survey, declared to have been
made impartially, shows 63 senators
In favor of passing the bill over the
president's disapproval and 33 who
will vote to prevent the measure
from becoming a law. Of the 63 pro
ponents, 36 are republicans and 27
are democrats. Twenty-four repub
licans and nine democrats are classed
as irreconcilably opposed to the
bonus.
Would Fail by One Vote.
On the basis of this lineup, the
measure would fall by one vote, two
thirds being necessary to override a
veto. But these figures contemplate
that every one of the 96 senators
either will be present and voting or
paired.
There were only 50 senators In the
city Sunday, and altrough telegrams
were dispatched to absentees Satur
day night urging them to hasten back
for the expected vote on the veto
Tuesday or Wednesday, it Is not be
lieved that anything like a full at
tendance will be had. At least eight
senators favorable to the bonus can
not possibly get back in time to vote,
it Is declared, and no less than three
of the opponents inevitably will be
absent: The probability is that all
told there will be from 15 to 20 ab
sentees.
It would seem, therefore, that the
fate of the soldier legislation will
hinge on the ability of the opposing
leaders to get out their vote or ar
range pairs. Two advocates of the
bill are required to pair with one
opponent.
Harding May Ask New Bill.
Mr. Harding’s view all along has
been ttfcit If a bonus were to be grant
ed It should be In some form which
would be of immediate benefit to the
soldiers and the cost of whi<Si should
be provided through a sales tax.
Some senators look for the presi
dent to recommend that when con
gress reconvenes in December or at
some later time a- new hill providing
for immediate benefits and carrying
a sales tax bo enacted.

London, Sept. 18.—Leading Brit
ish opinion, clarified Sunday follow
ing the allied ultimatum to Mustapha

termination to prevent the Turks en

using force.
Despite the dissatisfaction In cer
tain sections of French opinion and
the semi-official refusal of Italy to
participate in any military operations
which may be conducted on Eu
ropean soil In consequence of present
complications. Britain is determined
to keep the straits open even if she
has to go alone.
Smyrna Veritable Slaughter House.
Already the First North Stafford
shires, stationed at Gibraltar, have
been ordered to Constantinople with
all the speed and other units are fol
lowing In quick succession. At the
some time units of the British fleet
are steaming eastward bound to the
same destination.
Reports received In London from
Athens late Sunday Indicate English
citizens have been killed In the sack
of Smyrna, which undoubtedly will
result In the British government de
manding satisfaction Immediately.
Refugees arriving in the Greek capi
tal bring fresh tales of the horrors In
the doomed city. The Greek Met
ropolitan of Ephesus, one of the last
Greeks to leave, declared:
"The number of persons massacred
ip to Friday evening Is estimated at
120,000. Smyrna is a veritable
slaughter louse."
An American steamer arrived in
Athens S iturday with 2,000 Greeks
and Armenians aboard, bringing fresh
details of the tragedy. The captain
of the ship stated:
Beyond Imagination’s Limits.
“The zones at Smyrna are beyond
the limits of imagination. Fire and
death extend In all directions. Innum
erable bodies of men and women and
children are lying abandoned in the
streets. All the churches, with thou
sands of refugees Inside, are ablaze.
"The whole city and Its surround

CHANAK SITUATION KEY.
BY MAJ. GEN. F. B. MAURICE.
Special Cable to Universal Service
and the London Daily News.
Constantinople, Sept. 16 (Delayed).
—The key to the situation hefe at
present is Chanak Friends of Mus
tapha Kemal both here and abroad
are urging him to occupy that strat
egic point and confront the coming
conference with the fait accompli.
The allied forces in the straits are
chiefly British with the French and
Italians represented by Colonel Shut
tleworth, commands the defense which
are formidable, the blue jackets help
ing the military in the digging oper
ations.
The Iron Duke with Admiral Brock
arrived at Constantinople from Smy
rna after leaving reinforcements at
Chanak. Ail danger of surprise ip the
occupation of Chanak has passed.
If Mustapha Kemal Is foolish
enougli to advance toward the Dar
danelles ho will be confronted by a
grave military problem. He made a
grave political blunder when he re
fused the armistice offered while a
iarge part of the Greek army was still
in Asia Minor.
To attempt to cross the pardan
elles would be a still more serious
blunder. Nationalist opinion here
recognizes this and desires a confer
ence on the basis of the acceptance
of the Turkish position in Asia and
the principle of the freedom of the
straits.
The situation may still be saved and
war prevented if the sober opiplon of
these leaders is supported.
