Governor to investigate.
WHEELING, W. Va.. Doc. 6.
Governor Dawson, of West Virginia,
who ii in Washington attending ths
River and Harbors Congress, left for
Charleston tonight and announced
that ha would at once Institute a
rigid Investigation Into the cause of
the disaster.
MONONGAH, W. Va., Dec. 6. That not
less than 400 miners were killed by an ex
plosion of blackdamp in mines No. 6 and
No. 8 of the Consolidated Coal Company,
of Baltimore, at this place today, Is now
conceded by those who take the most
hopeful and most conservative view of
the disaster. Five badly Injured men
made their way to the surface.
Of the victims six dead bod tea had
been taken from mine No. S at midnight
and 65 others were piled up in the entry
awaiting completion of facilities for
bringing them to the surface. From mine
No. 8 at the same hour, 14 bodies had
been removed and . a number of others
are ready to be brought out as soon as
arrangements can be completed.
Rescuers Seek the Dead.
Five recruiting parties, with ten men
to each party, are working like Trojane
at different parts of the two mines to the
end that every nook and corner of the
workings may be reached in the short
est possible time. There is a large force
of experienced miners for this work and
they are working in relays, owing to the
accumulation of gas, which prevents the
men from remaining long in the mine.
President Oscar Murray and other offi
cials of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
were In New Martinsburg, Va., 85 miles
from here, on an inspection trip when
they heard of the oisaster. They imme
diately ordered their special train run
fo Monongah, arriving here tonight. Mr.
Murray upon his arrival conferred with
the officers of the mining company and
offered on behalf of himself ami the
company any assistance that it was pos
sible to render.
No Doubt, 400 Are Lost. 1
.Clarence W. Watson, of Baltimore,
president of the Consolidated Coal Com
pany, was at Frostburg. Md.. and im
mediately chartered a special train to
bring him here. After conferring with
the mine -superintendent and other local
representatives of the company, he said
there was no doubt that 400 lives had
been lost.
The explosion occurred shortly after
10 o'clock today, after S80 of the full
force of BOO men had gone to work In the
two mine's affected. These mines are
Nos. 6 and 8 of the Consolidated Coal
Company, located on opposite sides of
the -West Fork of the Monongahela
River at this place, but merged in tiieir
underground workings by a heading and
on the surface by a great steel tipple and
bridge.
Frantic Struggle lor Life.
Three of the living men, while unable
to give any detailed report of the disas
ter, state that Immediately back of them
when they began their frantic struggle
for liberty, there was a large number of
men engaged in a similar struggle, while
still further back In the workings there
was a larger number of whom they know
nothing. It is the opinion of the mine
officials and others familiar with mining
that these seven men had not penetrated
the mine as far as had the majority of
the day shift, when the explosion oc
curred, and" that tney headed for and
reached the main entrance before the
heavy cave-in that now blockades the
entrance not more than a few hundred
EXPLOSION
feet beyond the main opening of mine
No. 6.
Slender Hope for a Few.
As to the miners referred to by the
rescued men as having been alive when
last seen, it is believed that they were
caught back of a heavy cave-lri and could
not have survived more than a few min
utes in the deadly gasses with which the
entry filled as soon as the ventilating
system was Interrupted. There is more
hope for those In more remote sections of
the mine, as they may have reached
workings where fresh air is supplied by
other openings. 'But at best only the
most slender hope is entertained for the
survival of any one of the men in the
mine when the debris can be cleared
away and communication with the out
side re-established.
The two mines regularly employ 1000
men, working in two shifts, 500 during
the day and 500 during the night, and the
best Information obtainable at this time
Is that the entire day force had gone to
work this morning and that all were

caught. It was shortly after 10 o'clock
when the explosion occurred, and at that
hour even the latest of the straggling
force is customarily at work, according
to mine officials.
Due to Deadly Black-Damp.
There is much speculation as to the
cause of the explosion, but the most gen
erally accepted theory is that it resulted
from black damp, scientifically known as
methane. It is believed that a miner at
tempted to set off a blast which blew out
and ignited an accumulation of this
deadly gas, and that this in turn ignited
the coal dust, a highly inflammable sub
stance found in greater or less quantities
in all "West Virginia mines. However, all
explanations of the cause up to this time
are necessarily speculative. Only a
thorough investigation after the mine Is
re-opened will disclose the cause if it is
ever ascertained. The. explosion affected
both mines, and so far as now known
appears to have done about as much
damage in one as in the other. It has not
been established in which it originated.
Tremendous Force of Explosion.
Evidencing the terrific force of the con
cussion, props in the entry of No. 6 mine,
supporting the roof, wtre not only shat
tered and torn, from their posiiton, but
were blown out of the entry and to the
east side of the river.' Other evidence .of
the awful force Is shown In every sec
tion of the mines that has been reached
by the rescuers. Huge quantities of coal
and rock have been loosened and hurled
into every opening, and all of the under
ground structure is wrecked beyond sem
blance of its original shape.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. The Republi
can National Committee, which was
called to meet here to name a time and
plac'e for holding the Republican National
Convention next year, was in session for
an hour at the Shoreham Hotel today,
but aside from the election of Acting
Chairman. Harry S. . New to fill the re
mainder of the unexpired term of Secre
tary Cortelyou, the session was confined
to preliminary details. -Mr. New had no
opposition and the vote was unanimous.
Meanwhile the friends of the various
cities which desire to secure the con
vention were actively at work. There
are delegations here from Kansas City
and Denver and while there is no delega
tion from Chicago, a great deal of work
is being done In behalf of that city by
Representative Lowden. Of the 54 mem
bers of the National Committee, from 23
to 25 are said to be pledged to Kansas
City and an equal number to Chicago.
The remainder of the members are non
committal and their votes will decide the
city in which the convention will be held.
Committee to Prepare Call.
The subcommittee appointed toframe a
call for the next Republican National
Convention, met this afternoon to give
hearings to persons desiring to have spe
cial provisions in the cail, in order that
the selection of delegates as prescribed
by the committee might not conflict with
the laws of their states. Since the last
National Convention . was held several
states have passed laws prescribing the
methods of electing delegates, and In sev
eral Instances these laws conflict with
the methods of the committee that have
prevailed in the past. The committee
will endeavor so to frame the call as to
avoid conflict, with reasonable state laws.
Prince Kalalananole, of Hawaii, ap
peared to ask the committee to- give the
Hawaiian Islands four Instead of two
delegates in the National Committee. .'
The committee . did not conclude Its
work today, but will meet again tomor
row and report to the National Commit
tee tomorrow afternoon.
Chicago Still In Field.
Whereas yesterday Kansas City seemed
to be practically without a rival for the
next convention, it' was' evident at the
SPEAKER CANNON' GIVE 'EM THE
beginning of the canvass today that Chi
cago's advocates had received assurances
and would be prepared for a strong fight.
Indeeed, the friends of that city were
boldly claiming a majority or the com
mittee. The Kansas City delegation was by no
means willing to concede the lead. It de
veloped that for some months that city
has had representatives visiting commit
teemen at their home towns to secure
pledges. It Is said that many commit
teemen had been committed to the Mis
souri city to such an extent that they
could not change. It was urged for Kan
sas City that that city, being In the midst
of what Is termed "The Bryan Country,'
It would be of vast advantage to the Re
publican party to have the convention
held there In' case of Bryan's nomination.
The fact that the location there of the
convention might have a material Influ
ence upon holding Missouri in the Re
publican column also was urged, as were
many other conditions supposed to be fa
vorable to Kansas City. .
Denver May Win as Compromise.
The only other city prominently spoken
of was Denver, but the contest between
Chicago and Kansas City Is now so spirit
ed that little is said of a third place. The
friends of, the Colorado metropolis are
hoping that the fight between the Illi
nois and Missouri locations will grow so
animated . that it may be necessary to
shift from both of them, and in that
event they think that Denver offers ad
vantages. There will be one or two votes
at the beginning for Seattle' and some
other cities.
Mr. Lowden . assured all comers that
Chicago was willing not only to furnish
the hall -.but to pay all the bil's of the
convention. United States Marshal Bai
ley, of Colorado, also was active among
the delegates. He said Denver would ray
$80,000 for the convention, and that the
offer would be made in such tangible
form as to leave no " doubt of Denver's
ability.
New Elected Chairman.
Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, nom
inated Mr. New for chairman, and Mr.
Lyon, of Texas, seconded the nomination.
Mr. New, who had retired, was then no
tified and was escorted to the meeting
room and enthusiastically received. He
made a brief speech, sincerely thankir.s
the committee for the honor. Mr. Cor
telyou's resignation was formally accept
ed and 'a committee appointed to Urnft
resolutions of regret over his retirement.
A committee to suggest a plan of pro
cedure in the election of delegates in
Porto Rico and the Philippines was
named. Mr. Yerkes, of Kentucky; Mr.
Streeter, of New Hampshire, and Mr.
Kellogg, - of Minnesota, will draft the
formal call for the convention and will
deal with all questions pertaining to the
election of delegates.
The committee then called on the
President.

of the Reign of Terror,
GOLD FIELD, Dec. 6. Herbert Belford,
son of Judge Belford, of Denver, ap
peared today at the office of the lej,-al
department of the Goldfleld Consolidated
Mines Company with his face so badly
disfigured that he 'was hardly recogniza
ble, as a result of treatment received at
the hands of the miners Saturday night.
His face was bruised and his noe
broken, upper teeth knocked out and sev
eral ribs broken.
Mr. Belford says that he was recog
nized in one of the saloons of the town
and called to the sidewalk, where hs was
taken into custody by a man wealing a
star and representing himself as a Dep
uty Sheriff. He was led through a dark
and lonely district, supposedly on nis way
to jail, when he was set upon by thuss
and was left for dead. He was found
two or three hours afterward in u'n un
conscious condition and taken to the hos
pital, and It was several hours before he
regained consciousness. Mr. Belford was
missed by his friends, but was supposed
to be out of town.
Believes. Friend Murdered.
During the evening of the assault Mr.
Belford had been accused of having
"scabbed" on Stratton's Independence, In
Cripple Creek, during the strike there.
He had worked there at the time, but i:i
the office of the company, and was not
eligible to join the Miners' Union. - He
was also accused of being too friendly
with detectives in Goldfleld. He was
taken to the Miners' Union hall to clear
his record, but he found no one to iden
tify him. He was permitted to gowith
a warning, but later he was assaulted.
Mr. Belford says his friend, one Green
lee, who had also been threatened at the
time of the assault on Mr. Belford, is
nowhere to be found. His trunk and ef
fects are undisturbed In his room, just
as he left them Saturday night, and no
one has seen him since. Belford says he
is either killed or has departed.
Attempt at Dynamiting.
Dynamiters made an effort yesterday
to wreck the electric power line which
furnishes light and power to Goldfleld. A
patrolman today discovered 100 sticks of
giant powder scattered around three poles
near the place- where the line crosses
the railroad track, two miles from the
city. Holes were bored in two of the
poles and caps had been exploded, but
the powder, being frozen, failed to ig
nite. The Nevada-California Power Company
maintains a patrol of its line between
Goldfleld and Bishop, which covers the
entire line once every . 48 hours. The
force has been augmented and hereafter
a close watch will be maintained.
MIXERS ARE TAKEN UNAWARES
Thought Operators Bluffing Sher
iff, Tool of Federation, Disappears
GOLDFIBLD, Nev., Dec. 6. There is
Intense but suppressed excitement in
Goldfleld today over the expected ar
rival of the United States troops in the
Goldfleld camp tomorrow morning. It is
the only subject of conversation. Miners'
union hall has been filled all day and
crowds fill the sidewalks and streets In
front-
There has been no demonstration, to
speak of, though some excitement has
been created by hotheads, who talk of
what they will do after the troops come.
The miners have thought the report of
troops wai all a bluff, intended to in
tlmidate them, and they have only come
to a realization of the real situation In
the last few hours. They seem discon
certed and nonplussed, as events have
happened and swept along too fast for
them. They are certainly unprepared for
the present turn of affairs.
President McKinnon, of the local
miners' union, a brother-in-law of Wil
liam D. Haywood, is in charge of the
miners' campaign. Vincent St. John has
been In the hospital for several weeks,
as a result of 4 g inshot wound received
in a duel, between 1 i-nself and another
labor leader, but he is ready for duty
now. ,
Sheriff Is Angry and Disappears.
Sheriff Ingalls and his force are dis
gruntled at the coming of the troops, and
this afternoon the Sheriff disappeared
and his whereabouts are unknown. It is
conjectured his action has an important
bearing on the present situation. Before
he left, the Sheriff said he knew of no
trouble in Goldfleld, and that the call
for troops was made over his head.
The Sheriff and his forces have always
been charged by the Mineowners' Associa
tion with being more than friendly to the
miners. He Is one of the owners of one
of the largest saloons and gambling
houses in Goldfleld, largely patronized by
the miners. Last Spring during the strike
hundreds of striking miners were sworn
in as Deputy Sheriffs and armed. It was
because of , this ' mistrust of the Sheriff
that the mine' operators ' appealed to the
Governor direct. ' Under-Sheriff Bert
Knight and nearly all the county officers
signed a protest against troops coming
to Goldfleld and sent it to the Governor.
Permanent Army -Post.
It Is understood by the mine operators
that the coming of the troops means a
permanent garrison at Goldfleld. ' It is
declared the plan has been under con
sideration for several months and that
a number of appeals have been made by
the mineowners throughout the state for
such action by the War Department.
But little of the details could be gather
ed, but it is understood the post will be
a branch of the . Presidio and that It
will be a . regularly established military
post. The statement is made that the
post will have to be established in a few
months and that troops are being hurried
to Goldfleld ahead of time to prevent the
possible outbreak of violence In the event
of an attempt on the part of the opera
tors to reopen their mines.
TROOPS .START FOR NEVADA
First Detachment From Presidio
Will Arrive This Morning.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. . Five com
panies of the Twenty-second Infantry,
stationed at Fort McDowell, in this city,
and four companies of the same regiment
at Monterey, were dispatched to Gold
fleld, Nev., today by Brigadier-General
Frederick Funston, commanding the De
partment of California, in compliance
with orders received from the War De
partment late last night.
The. troops were ordered to the big
mining camp in Nevada by President
Roosevelt in response to an appeal from
Governor John Sparks, of Nevada, who
apprehends serious trouble as a result of
the strike of the miners and an attempt
to open the mines with non-union labor.
As Nevada has no state troops, Mr.
Sparks called for Federal soldiers.
About 150 men and 14 officers, under
command of Colonel Alfred Reynolds, left
the Oakland mole on a special train of
four Pullmans and two baggage cars,
shortly before noon today. The Mon
terey contingent, -consisting of about 100
men of Companies C. E. F and G, and
two Vickers-Maxint machine guns, under
Captain Curtis, left that city at 7 o'clock
this morning.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-A11 annual ap
propriation of 550,XXt,000 for the systematic
and uninterrupted improvement of the
National waterways, which ar declared
necessary to supply the deficiencies of tbe
railroads for handling the country's traf
fic, was the main point of resolutions
adopted today by the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress at its closing sobslen.
The old system of piecemeal appropria
tions !s unsparingly condemned and Pres
ident Roosevelt is thanked for his cham
pionship of improved waterways.
Voice of 3 6 States.
J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia,
chairman of the committee on resolu
tions, presented the , platform as the
unanimous sentiment of 36 states, and he
said that the committee requested the ap
proval of the report in the hope that it
would receive the respectful considera
tion of the National -Congress. The re
port .of the committee follows:
After a year's consideration of the aims
and purposes of the National Rivers an'l
Harbors Con Kress, expressed in resolutions
adopted by that body in 1006, the Ameri
can people have given them emphatic: In
dorsement by (tending to thin convention,
assembled at tho National capita), Decem
ber 4, ." and 6, 1107, nearly '20(H) delegate
from 17 tstates and territories, represent
ing tho commercial, manufacturing, pro- .
ducing and consuming . interest, of the
country, and these- delegates are unani
mously of the belief:
Transportation Lines Inadequate.
First That profitable and successful com
merce la absolutely dependent upon eco
nomical transportation of commodities and
that the importance of transportation will
Increase with the growth of population and
the development of the Nation's resources.
Second That the railroads of the United
States are now unable to handle .the busi
ness offered them and much loss results
from the congested condition of traffic;
that according to high . railroad authority
the business of the country has increased
100 per cent within ten years, while the
facilities for handling It by rail have in
creased only about l!0 per cent, and, as
the railroads cannot be expected tn tho
near future to Increase their facilities suf
ficiently to relieve the situation, other means
of transportation should be provided at
once.
Third That transportation of heavy com
modlties by water on all rivers and inland
waterways is much cheaper and usually
quicker than by rail; that no country In
the world has been so blessed by Nature
with watercourses as our own, and that, if
properly . improved and connected by canals,
they would furnish a convenient means of
shipping. enormous volumes of freight, there
by relieving the congestion on the railroads
and furnishing cheaper and safer transpor
tation for the benefit of producer and con
sumer Time to Improve Waterways.
Fourth That the time has come when
the policy of the Federal Government
toward waterways, over which It rightly
has supreme control, should be more liberal,
persistent and continuous than heretofore,
that as a result of intermittent action meri
torious works of Importance begun many
years ago are still far from completion;
that appropriations for rivers, waterways
and harbors have been made at intervals of
three years Instead of annually; that for the
past ten years they have averaged only
about $1!2.000,000 a year, or less than 3 per
cent of the average annua! expenditures of
the Government, and that enough money
should be appropriated each year for at
least the next ten years properly to im
prove the various rivers, waterways and
harbors on plans which have been and shall
be surveyed and approved by the Govern
ment engineers and authorized by the Con
gress of the United States.
Therefore, be it resolved by the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress:
Adopt Comprehensive Plan.
First. That we earnestly urge the adop
tion by the Federal Government of a wide,
liberal, comprehensive waterways policy that
will provide for the proper improvement
within ten years of the rivers, waterways
and harbors of our country, the improve
ment of which Is justified by present and
prospective benefits to commerce.
Second. That, without presuming to pre
scribe the engineering or the financial de
tails of this great undertaking, this con
gress strongly urges upon the Congress of
the United States the importance of the
lmmediute adoption of a. comprehensive
plan of waterways Improvement, of the
carrying on of the work by an adequate
number of engineers and of such liberal
appropriations annually as will Insure the
early completion of such project as may
be undertaken.
Third. That we cordially Indorse the
action of President Roosevelt in appoint
ing a special Inland Waterways Commis
sion, being confident that Its report will
prove a source of accurate and valuable
information to the American people. We
further recommend that Congress enact
such laws as will make the Inland Water
ways Commission permanent and will pro
vide It with necessary authority for its
investigations and recommendations.
Fourth That this congress cordially
thanks President Roosevelt for the support
he has given to this purpose by his speeches
and by bts treatment of the subject In his
recent message to Congress. (
Fifth That we ask Congress to view
the river, waterway and harbor appropri
ations not as the rpproprlation of money
for the current expenses of Government,
but as an investment in permanent Im
provements, bound to pay increasing divi
dends from year to year. Viewing these
appropriations in this light. Congress is fully
warranted In authorizing an annual expendi
ture beginning at the present session of
not less than one tenth of the amount of
money required for all the various river,
waterway snd harbor improvement already
planned and approved by the engineers in
charge or hereafter planned and approved
