Forty Men Killed
In Lancashire Mine
Thirty-one Bodies Tsksn from Work
ings Following Explosion. Nine
Men Rescued Now in
HospiUls.
Shanktown, Pa., Jan. 27.—Forty
men lost their lives in the explosion
which late yesterday wrecked the
Tucker Coal company here, accord
ing to the best estimates obtainable
late today.
Thirty-one bodies have been
brought out and nine miners, who
were saved by the prompt efforts of
another miner, are * in hospitals re
covering from the effects of shock and
gas. Experienced rescue crews, led
by J. D. Parker of the Pittsburgh sta
tion of the bureau of mines, are
working in one hour relays to pene
trate the workings and reach the en
tombed men. All hope that any is
alive has been abandoned
The women and children who last
night stood in the bitter cold and
blinding snow waiting vainly for some
flews from the workings, were induc-
ed to go to their homes by the Red Capt. R

ton in Interest of Prohibi

Columbia, Jan. 28.—The Associat
ed Press dispatches this afternoon
announcing the resignation of Major
or of this state did not surprise Rev.
E. M. Lightfoot in charge of the An
ti-Saloon League activities in this
state. . Mr. Lightfoot, less than ten
days ago had a half hour’s confer
ence with President Coolidge over
the situation in South Carolina. “I
do not wish to have the air of re
joicing,” Said Dr. Lightfoot, “this is
not a political but a moral fight in
which I am engaged. I am expect
ing the appointment of a man who
will make an active fight in this state
to suppress the use of liquor.”
The news of Major Bowen’s res
ignation was the subject of comment
among the number of visitors in the
governor’s office. Several of them
expressed the wish and the hope that

workers. They served sandwiches
and coffee to the emergency men dur
ing the night and comforting the
stricken women and children finally
led them home. The nurses were
then sent to the emergency morgue at
Starford, a neighboring village,
where they took charge of the bod
ies.
Five troopers of the state police
arrived from the Greensburg barracks
this morning and established a patrol
around the pit mouth.
John Rico, a miner, was on his way
to work in the night shift shortly be
fore 4 o’clock yesterday when he saw
a great volume of smoke burst from
the pit. Without hesitation he ran
into the mine and almost immediate
ly came upon a broken pick and a
smashed dinner bucket. Tearing a-
long for almost a mile he shouted at
the mouth of every gallery but got
no response until he was near the
sixth heading. Here a faint cry an
swered him and his search was re
warded by finding nine men alive but
some of them bordering on uncon
sciousness.
Rico induced the men to soak their
handkerchiefs in water and tie them
about their faces. He quickly found
an air passage and leading the weak
and staggering men along its entire
length he finally came to a point
where he knew the earth had fallen
in from above. He then helped them
one by one to climb to the surface
and safety.
Three other men who were not kill
ed by the force of the explosion man
aged to make their way to another
air passage and later in the night
gained their freedom. A fourth min
er dashed along the main entry but
was overcome by gag and perished.
The rescufe parties as they pene
trated the workings-reconstructed the
scene when the explosion occurred at
a point between N. 6 and N. 7 right
headings. John Ytendler, a motor-
man, was taking an empty trip into
the mine, and, with Mike Mitkitko,
the rope rider, met the explosion full
face. Yendler was blown the length
of 14 cars and _ decapitated, while
Mitkitko also was mangled and kill
ed. The cars were piled, a broken
mass of splintered wood and twisted
iron along the entry.— — -
There -was also mute evidence to
the emergency men that all brattices
and doors had been blown away and
the gas left free to circulate in the
workings beyond the seventh head
ing.
Heavy ’ wooden rollers', fastened in*
the trajr to carry the haulage rope,
were blown from the cleats and some
of them were found as far as 150
feet outside the entrance to the mine.
There was no confusion after the
emergency men under Engineer Park
er got down to work. As soon as a
heavy fall in the main entry had been
cleared away efforts were directed to
i-eplacing the brattices and restoring
the air system. With this completed
they hoped to be able to search the
inner rooms and entries for the 30
who were missing.
Meantime the fan house, which had
been seriously damaged but not en
tirely wrecked by the explosion, was
repaired and was ready to drive fresh

this state.

Dr. Lightfoot gave the following
statement to the correspondent of the
Greenville News:
“The South Carolina anti-Saloon
League is glad that Major George
C. Bowen has resigned as federal
prohibition director. We have abso
lutely no personal feeling in the mat
ter, but constantly opposed him be
cause of certain reports affecting his
conduct in office.”
We believe the. change is best for
South Carolina and the enforcement
of the Federal Prohibition Law.
When I talked with President Cool-
idge about our State’s conditions,
from a federal viewpoint, I was sure
that some action would result but did
not look for it quite so soon.
“President Coolidge was as warm
hearted in receiving Congressman
Byrnes and myself as any person
could be and when I‘left his office
it was with the feeling that the Pre
sident’s often repeated statement for
obedience to law both in conduct and
teaching would be enforced in this
case. As a Southern Democrat, I
was profoundly impressed with the
manliness and remarkable strength of
character in our President.
“The Anti-Saloon League will con
tinue to work for the enforcement of
all law and especially the prohibition
law, and while we gladly commend
every officer who does his duty, like
wise we will oppose all whom we
have good reason to believe are
not living up to their oath of office.”
