DIO AT 11 AND DESTRUCTION. Scores Entombed by Alabama Mlue Explosion-All Itopo Given Vp. Birmingham, Ala., May 5.-Forty live white men, and between 130 and 145 negroes, are entombed in No. 3 coal mino at Palos to-night, as tho result of a terrille explosion occur ring this afternoon at 1.30 o'clock. Palos ls forty miles west of Birming ham, and the mines are owned by the Palos Coal and Coke Com pi ny, controlled by Brennen Brothers, of Birmingham. State Mine Inspector James Hlll bouse, who ls on the scene to-night, thinks all of the men in the mine are dead. Two bodies were found early to-night, but lt ls expected that few of them can be recovered beforo morning. The ?nmes reaching from the ex plosion shot Into the air from the mouth of tho slope for a distance of 200 feet, ami the shock waa felt for miles around. Timbers from the slope were hurled several hundred feet from the mine's mouth, and rocks from the roof of the ulopo caved In and made access to the mouth very difficult. The fan ma chinery was badly damaged, but air is being pumped Into the mine to night In the hope that some of the men are still alive. Belief Party Arrives. Local rescuers at Palos began at once to do what they could, but re lief work Was not started In earnest until the special train from Birming ham, arrived In Falos, shortly after ?I o'clock. This special train carried State Mine Inspector .lames Iltll housc, J. J. Rutledge, Government expert, in charge of the geological station at Knoxville, Tenn., who hap pened in the district Investigating the recent disaster at Mulga; eight physicians and surgeons, four under takers and a number of special help ers. The hospital relief car of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany was also taken. The car con tained helmets and all of the other necessary paraphernalia for entering gaseous mines. The first rescuers who went into the mino after the explosion were overcome by (I re-da mp and had to he carried out. Mr. Rutledge was among the first to enter, and after working his way 1,4 00 feet down the slope, found a second right entry cave-in. The two bodies recovered to-night were in the main slope. Body Hurled Into River. James urousby, a mall carrier, was killed thirty feet from the mouth of the slope, and his body was hurled thirty feet when the terrific explosion occurred to-day. lt was judged from this that the force of the explosion was such that none of the men on the inner side could possibly be alive. There are a number of mining camps within two or three miles of the Palos mine, and within a short time after the explosion a great crowd had gathered about the ill fated slope. Hundreds of women and children were around the mine, wringing their hands and crying piteously to-night. The Palos mines have been work ed for a number of years, and the entries were extensive. The only hope that some of the men have es caped and ar0 still alive lies in the possibility that they were far enough away from the explosion to have missed its force. It is thought that tho explosion was caused by the accumulation of gas in some of the old abandoned entries, which are rarely visited. Worked Only Union Miners. The Halos Coal and Coke Com pany ls owned entirely by the Dren nens, of Birmingham. The mines have a capacity of over 000 tons and have done an enormous business for tho past two or three years, work ing night and day. The company was one of the few in the district which has always signed up with tho min ers' union, and they have always worked union miners only. The mines are in what ls known ns the Warrior basin, and are within two miles of Flat. Ton and the Bessie mines, two of the largest and most valuable mines In the district. To-day's disaster ls regarded as especially distressing, as coming so soon after tho Mulga explosion, on Thursday, April 21, in which forty one men lost their lives. The Ked Cross and other relief work for the widows and orphans at Mulga has not yet been completed. Two government experts, J. J. Rutledgo and George F. Rico ,havo been In tho district slnco tho Mulga explosion, investigating its cnuse and both of them have gone out. to Palos this afternoon.
