Believing that they woyld return daily, M. M. Mohney, the pro prietor, failed to report the matter to the police. They had been a "mys tery couple" at the hotel and their plans or affairs were unknown to anyone. When employes of the hotel forced an entrance into the abandoned room today, wearing apparel was strewn I about the room. All of their posses sions remain, thus adding to the mys tery.

Forty-Seven Bodies Taken From Two Mines (Continued From Pace One.) mouth by rescue parties after heroic endeavors, were taken to a hospital, where they are still unconscious, hut with a chance for life. Thcro were 300 men on the night shift, which was on duty when the exploaion occurred. Cumberland this afternoon was a place of mourning. Women ran aim lessly about the streets, wailing their grief. As each body was taken to the morgue, groups of men, women an<l children gathered about, waiting fearfully for identification. During the long night, while rescuers work ed feverishly with the determination to save the lives of at least a few of the imprisoned men. the groups gathered, conversing in frightened undertone*. Rescue Work Slow. The Work of rescue went on slowly. The men could work only four abreast, j Kach of oe rescuers worked until he was exhausted. Then he waa relieved by another. This afternoon the work was still in progress. Men familiar with the mine, said the explosion w-as undoubtedly due to the presence of both gas and dust. ' Work of penetrating the mine was at first extremely dangerous with vol umes of gns pouring through the tunnels. The first body found was that of W. Mitchell, 15. Rescue workers saw him in the hoist sortie time before they reached hirn, but he died before help arrived. Kike many of the oth ers, he was bleeding at the nose, ears and mouth and the skin on his face and hands was scorched with the head following the explosion. The explosion occurred in No. 2 east drift, and that portion of the mine was badly wrecked with many work ing faces blocked. It was believed that about IS of the victims were killed outright: the others died of - I afterdamp. Officials expressed the opinion that if alf of tho men had remained where they were at the time of the accident, many more of them would have been saved, as survivors deflated they van into the after damp at the entrance of No. 2 west drift, in their flight toward the mine mouth.
