RESCUE CREWS
LOCATE SCORE
OF DEAD BODIES
Inside of Workings Wrecked
By Explosion—Debris
Hampers Searchers
Universal Service.
Wheeling, W. Va., April 28.—Weary
hours drag by slowly for the grief
stricken throng who patiently stand
at the mouth of the Benwood mine
of the Wheeling Steel corporation,
waiting for that dark hole that leads
back into the hills to give up Its 114
dead, claimed by a gas explosion
, Monday.
I Up until dark but five bodies had
been brought out to the morgue es
tablished temporarily near the mine
entry. Rescuers who have pene
trated some 3,700 feet into the mine
along the main entry have located
15 others, according to word sent
back. All the bodies found are
burned and mutilated and there is
no hope that any survived.
Rescue Teams on GrounA
Mine rescue cars from Williamson,
Pa., and Pittsburgh and other points
were rushed to Benwood to direct the
rescue and their efforts have been
augmented by rescue crews from
mines in West Virginia and eastern
Ohio.
| The explosion occurred at 7:10
o’clock Monday morning, five min
utes after the 114 men had gone Into
the mine to begin the day’s work.
Had It occurred five minutes later,
?5 more men. waiting to go to work,
would have Joined them,
j Evidence of the force of the ex
plosion is found in the tearing away
of the earthen embankment of the
railroad near the mine entrance, and
the forcing of an eight-inch square
timber from the mine, up through
40 feet of the hill to the surface.
Timbers and stone in the mine were
twined In a hopeless tangle and this
is what halted the first efforts at
rescue 1,500 feet back from the en
trance. Then came the after damp
to add to the horror and complete
the grim work of the explosion.
Mine Is Blocked.
Fully 800 feet of the mine were
wrecked and blocked.
Pathetically swinging at the en
trance of the mine is the sign erected
by J. T. Hoyle, fire boss, announc
ing he had Inspected the mine and
found It safe. The body of Hoyle
was among the first discovered, lying
beneath an overturned mine motor
; in the shaft, and covered with fallen
shale.
Under swinging arc lights the res
! cuers are tolling unceasingly tonight,
going In and coming out In one hour
| shifts. As they come and go, plain
tive requests are made from the
watchers for information.
Fire Follows Blast
Among those not yet recovered are
Fire Boss George Holliday who also
went into the mine Monday morning.
The explosion, which was followed
by fire, occured about three miles
back from the drift mouth. Word of
the disaster was immediately sent
out and it was as first feared that
125 men had been trapped.
The whole rescue power of the state
of West Virginia, with headquarters
at Charleston, and of the United
States government was put into ac
tion. A rescue car from Pittsburgh
reached the mine about noon.
Dynamite Used
At that time about 200 workers
from nearby mines had rushed to
Benwood and started digging into
the rock and slit which had blocked
all the entrances. All of the women
and children of the Benwood com
munity gathered near the mouth of
the mine and mingled their shouts
of encouragement to the rescuers,
with tears.
Dynamite was used to clear a way
for the rescuers who reached the
pasage where the first bodies wers
found.

BELGIUM BACKS

TOWARD RUHR
Retain Control Over Rail
way Lines Despite Advice
Of Experts
Universal Service
Paris, April 28.—Notwithstanding
the advice of experts, France and
Belgium Monday decided to retain
their control of the railways in the
occupied territories of Germany.
It is definitely stated that FVance
and Belgium arrived at a complete
understanding on the program to be
followed regarding the plans for put
ting the Dawes plan into operation.
Premiers Poincare and Theunis
concluded their conferences regard
ing the efforts of their respective
governments to settle the reparations
problem in accord with the other
allies, it being understood that they
will seek separate understandings
with Premier MacDonald and the
British cabinet before undertaking
any conferences with the other allied
and associated powers.
BY BA8IL D. WOON
Universal Service Correspondent
Paris, April 28.—Those who believe
that the forthcoming French elec
tions will reveal a profound change
In national sentiment and return to
power a party pledged to settle the
reparations problem In the quickest
and most businesslike manner are
doomed to disappointment.
Persons who think that Raymond
Poincare will be disowned by the
French electorate because of his Bis
marckian policies In the Ruhr and on
the Rhine, are merely expressing the
thought that is born of their wish.
A very big IF resides in the theory
that the left block will carry all be
fore It at the elections and that, there
after, Polrteare and his ‘‘security at
any cost” Ideal will take a back seat
to Herriot or Briand and their an
nounced intention to solve the peace
problem even at the cost of sacrifice
to France.
Poincare Hot Favorite
In betting terms, I should say that
Poincare is about a one to five chance
—a very hot favorite indeed.
Outside of the big cities it Is doubt
ful whether the radical socialists win
gain many seats. In Paris they will
break even with the national block,
or Poincarlst party. In cities such
as Marseilles, Le Havre, Brest and
Lyons they will most likely win a
majority of the votes.
But the cities do not play the
preponderant part in election results
that they play in the United States.
The farmer and the inhabitant of the
small town rule France, and they pay
little for the honor, for they are taxed
very moderately in proportion to
their brethren of the city.
What has this to do with the ex
perts report? This:
If Poincare wins, the experts con
clusions will not be worth the paper
they are written on.
If Herriot and Briand win there is
a fighting chance that peace may
come.
What many think would have been
a workable reparations pact was ac
tually being negotiated at Cannes be
tween Briand and Lloyd-George in
January, 1922 when Poincare forced
Briand’s downfall and broke up the
conference.
If Poincare had not thrown that
fatal wrench Into the machinery then,
France would now enjoy a defensive
pact with Great Britain guaranteeing
It security, and there Is reason to
believe that faced by such an alliance,
Germany would have taken a vastly
different attitude. .

WARREN H’CRAY
PLACED IN JAIL
UNTIL SENTENCE
I
Face* Prison for Balance
Of Life—Scored by
Judge
Universal Service
Indianapolis, Ind., April 28.—While
scores of men and women who elected
him governor of the common
wealth of Indiana looked on from the
spectators' seats In the United States
district court here, Warren T. Mc
Cray, the state's chief executive who
has been on trial on charges of using
the malls to promote a scheme to
defraud, was found guilty by the Jury
Monday night.
Judge A. B. Anderson ordered the
governor placed in the Marlon eoiyi
ty >iil at once to be produced by the
VAIted States marshal Wednesday
'doming for sentence.
What has sent a thrill through the
capital city much more gripping than
the mere conviction of the governor,
was the statement by Judge A. B,
Anderson from the bench that while
he had observed greater individual
crimes, he had never, in his long
career on the bench, "seen anything
to approach this In the number of in
dividual crimes which this man has
committed.”
Sentence Wednesday
The governor was then ordered to
Jail to await sentence on Wednesday.
It Is possible for Judge Anderson to
order the governor to prison for the
rest of his life, ns the maximum
penalty on each of the 13 counts Is
five years. It Is the curbstone opinion
hero that he will be sentenced to
prison for a long term of years.
When the conviction of the gov
ernor became known republican party
chiefs sent wires to all sections of the
state, summoning the workers to an
Immediate conference In Indianapolis
to decide on the next move. Lawyers
are not of one accord ns to the strict
Interpretation of the constitution.
Some hold that the only way the gov
vernor can be removed from office Is
by Impeachment by tho general as
sembly. and that the legislature can
only be summoned In extraordinary
session by the call of the governor.
Expected To Reeign
The opinion among some of Mc
Cray's friends, however, Is that the
governor himself will relieve the party
of further embarrassment by volun
tarily resigning after a few hours be
hind the bars.
Emmltt F. Branch, of Martinsville,
lieutenant governor, will succeed Mc
Cray as chief executive In the event
oT the governor’s voluntary resigna
tion or of his Impeachment. He has
long been a conspicuous figure In
republican politics of Indiana.
it Is expected that McCray’s law
yers will make the usual prayer for an
appeal to the court of appeals.
W'ith the s.tate ripped up the back
from the banks of the Wabash to
Gary and the Ohio line with repuo
Ilcan feuds, Ku Klux battles, and now
the conviction of the governor, grave
fear Is felt here for the chances of
President Coolklge In November.
STONE TO FIGHT
PACKERS’ MOVE
Attorney General Will Op

Aside “Consent Decree”
Universal Service.
Washington, April 28.—Vigorou
tctlon ngainst the "Big Four” pack
era to compel them to live up t
the terms of the court order requir
lng them to dissolve connections
with other lines of business is prom
ised as the policy of Attorney Gen
eral Harlan F. Stone.
The attorney general Intends to
fight the proceedings begun by the
backers in the local court to have
Set aside the “consent decree,” under
whlfh they were ordered to confine
themselves strictly to the meat
slaughtering industry.
The packers are seeking to have
the decree set HBidc in order to again
enter the grocery business, the ear
ning Industry and other side lines
from which they have been excluded
since 1920.
The original decree was entered
following action by the government
in which It was claimed that tna
packers, already In control of the
largest single Industry In the United
States, were gradually assimilating
"side lines” to an extent which
would create a super trade, monop
olizing practically all food merchan
dising. After piotracted litigation a
consent decree wag entered, whereby
the packers were required to dis
pose of the socalled side lines within
a specified time.
The new attack on the consent de
cree arises through the action by the
California Co-operative canneries,
which claim that the packers desire
to re-enter the field of general food
merchandising because of superior
methods of distribution which they
control.
