Th main, tunnel fills repeatedly with
the deadly damp, even though a large
fan on a motor car la sent in frequently
to clear out the gases. ,
The explosion is believed to have oc
curred five miles from the mouth of
the mine, but the shock dislodged great
masses of earth, which shut off the
escape of the men.
Two Possibilities of Escape. '
The prisoners have two chances in
a million to escape. Their only hope Is
to force their way through the clogged
and gas filled main tunnel, or make
their way to an old tunnel leading to the
Englevllle mine, which . adjoins the
Starkvllle workings. Several years ago
ourlng a fire in the Englevllle mine this
tunnel was walled up. '
Scores of workmen are now frantical
ly tearing into the mfionry with picks
and small charges of powder In the hope
of aiding the men to gain their free
dom. Throughout ' the night distracted,
helpless women wandered . from group

Always the answer was that rescue
v.hh Improbable. Human life cannot
continue (n the gas filled tunnels, the
only hope being that the men found
refus-e in abandoned workings free fiom
the fumes.
Klne Was Considered Eafe.
One Italian mother, crazed by the
strain of watching and -waiting, . bade
ner eight children kneel in prayer. She
was Beized Just as she was preparing
to plunge a knife into the heart of the
child kneeling nearest her. - '
. Similar harrowing scenes occurred in
other parts of the property. Most of
the entombed men are married.
' One theory of the explosion is that a
m'.snr c;-:itl his lamp in an oil tunnrl
and that collected dust exploded. Ths
mine was considered raf. Blastins had
been forbidden and' the life of powder
was not necessary, as the coal coull
be dislodged with the pick.
Working: with the fan, the rescuers
reached within a mile of the imprisoned
men, and State Mine Inspector Jones
said he expected to reach the scene of
the explosion late this afternoon.
"There Is still a chance that the men
are alive," he said. "There-are many
crosscut airways In the labyrinths of
the tunnels and It is possible that some
of the men found safety chambers."
A discrepancy In the estimates of the
number in the mine at the time of the
explosion has developed. ; The company
claims l. .t 1 r t in t'-.a
while the miners dcUare that there
ere 90 men in the vorklnga.
Tha miners assort that the dust was
very thick and that three weeks ago
the company began laying pipes to the
farther stopes to allay the dust.

entombed men, walked near a live wire
with her Infant. The baby seized the
wire and was electrocuted. When told
of the child's death the mother became

Exorbitant Chafges Going Back

The first definite step In the much
heralded talk about the Impending
revolution In ' the automobile Industry
was taken yesterday by the E-M-F com
pany of tlls city in the shap of ; a
Tiweeplnf reduction In the prices of the
two standard cars manufactured by It
for the 1911 output The reduction Is to
take Immediate effect.
The E-M-F" thirty," which has her,
tofore sold for 11260, has been reduced
to ' $1090. and the' Flanders "twenty"
has ' hann ruAuriA . frnm 17SA ttnn

Ht !s the understandinf thst this re-
auction irorn me net price win in no
way affect the dealers' discounts. - In
view, of the bargain sales offered by
seme other manufacturers to '. redact
their stock of old care, this move upon
th part of the E-M-F company eannot
but hav,e a marked effect upoit . other
companies and the automobile trade In
general - '-,
Zpflatioa of Valnes Itops. '
, "Among other jhlnjts a Shows that
there has een decided drop In the
tost of materials and .that- cars of
proven durability and Workmanship csn
be sold for reasonable prices. For the
last two years the industry has been
afflicted with Inflated values, brought
about by the rush for material, which
reached tha stae-e where
willing to bid against each other in or-
aer w eecure prererence. The reaction
has set In;, in fact, U began settling
seme time ago. and the market is now
bsek to normal., pig iron Is cheaper
and there will be a decided drkp In rub
ber, so that companies which have the
manufacturing facilities are able ' to
take advaritage of existing conditions.
x:,ri To- Increase - Output.-- n"T
It is tseurlng to find that , Instead
or retrenching t the company is pre
paring to increase its output . An im
mense addition to - plant" No. 1 on
Plquatte avenue is just - being com.
pleted and for 1911 the output will be
.80,000. cars. ' ... .r ..
Walter B. Flanders, president' of the
company, is responsible " for the new
order rt things and in making the an.
nouncement yesterday he very frankly
discussed the details of the situation.
Xet me say to you," he said, "that
we will be able to make the same mar
gin of profit at the reduced cost as we
were two years ago., We now have an
.Investment of, 7,00p,,000, every 'cent of
;which is paid, and we enjoy unlimited
financial resources. In addition to this
we have a highly developed manufac
turing and selling organisation, and we
are able to turn out every day 80 ears
of the thirty1 type and 128 Flanders
cars, so you see we are not carrying
..any burden. ,..,' ,-. i .
."Again, we are very heavy buyers
of aw materials and. enjoy facilities by
reason of that whlcn very few com
panies can touch. It has always been
my aim to produce the best value pos
sible for a reasonable price and the fact
4ht-here-are-nqw-tt,ooo -thirty "cars
in use indicates that we have succeeded
pretty. welL We make our own drop
forglngs, motors, bodies and .tops and
do our own stamping, so. we are abso
lutely Independent , , , - .
"I have never believed In changing
vua Buape m. uoor or using airierent
colored paint 1n 'order to bring forth a
so- called new model. ' We add any lm
provement Just as soon as its worth is
proven, but It goes with the car. Our
aim' has been .to produce a standard car
and we have reached a stage where we
guarantee our cars for a year. The re
ducUon In price takes immediate effect
and today we have notja. car on hand.
Although we are busy I doubt if there
are any unsold ears in the hands of
dealers." .:
The action of the company will be
welcome news to dealers throughout the
country, who have been, disturbed by the
uncertainty of the pees rew months.
It Is hinted that the E-M-F company
has In process of construction seven
passenger car which will, sell for less
than 82000 and which will compete with
any car .regardless of cost, but this is
evidently a state secret, as none of the
officials would say anything about It
