than fifty miners are believed to
have lost theln lives In an explosion
In riellly mine of the Ilellly Coal
company near here this morning.
Exploration of the" workings by
trained rracurern was belnit con-
tlnutd tonight. Nona 6f the dead
lias been brought to the surface at
10.30 o'clock.
Thirty blanched survivor most
of them young men lay on a double
row of cots In tho miners hospital
here tonight anxiously watching the
entrance to tho biff room. They
were tho known eurvivnrs of the 94
miners who went Into the mine thla
morning a few minutes before a
terrific explosion.
Their vigil began when the first
eight were brought to tho hospital.
The entrance of stretcher bearers
meant that another comrade had
been dragged from nn undergiound
tea ot gas.
At 7:30 o'clock this morning tho
explosion occurred fn the heart of
the mine. As soon as miners from
neighboring pita could reach the
mine preliminary work of rescue bo-
gan and It-was supplemented later
In the day by trained engineers from
the United States bureau of mines of
Pittsburgh and the rescue crews of
neighboring mines.
Hodlcs Scattered In .Mine.
The rescue men all told tho same
story as they came to the surfneo.
They declared that bodies were scat-
i tered through tho workings for more
than flvo hundred feet.
"The sad part of It" said one
sturdy miner "Is that at least twenty
of the victims were within 100 foet
of fresh air when they were over-
come by the. gas."
Every effort tonight wa being
made to locate all of the living. As
soon as that has been done the work
of removing the dead will commence.
Men women and children by the
core crowded the police llnea near
the shafts. Many of them had been
there since theyahcard ot the ex-
plosion early In the day and there
was no'lndlcatloff they would leave
their posts until tho last body had
been brought out.

"On the cot of honor." at tho

UNCLE SAM READY

U. S. Observers Will Be

Near East Conference
YANKEE BUSINESS HIT
Many Commplaints of Treat
ment Handed Americans by
"Commission" Are Received
WASHINGTON Nov. 6. The
United dates government Is prepar
ing for a battle at the forthcoming
near east conference It was learned
officially today.
Desnlte the limited nature of
American participation tho "observ
ers" selected uy presiuem naming
will co to Lausanne with definite
Instructions to fight certain propo-
sals which this government expects
tho allied powers to make.
U. S. Discriminated Against.
American opposition will bo di
rected primarily ngnlnst the reten-
tion In tho new treaty with turkey
of tho more flagrant of tho Jokers
In tho repudiated treaty of Hevrcs oy
which it Is charged gross discrimi-
nations have been practiced against
American Interests In the near cast.
The most objectionable of these
nerhans. is tho Drovlslon for an In
terallied financial commission hav
ing absolute control over lurmsn ii-
nances revenues publlo utilities and
In fact all phasts of financial and
economic activities.
Although tho treaty ot Eervrcs
has not been ratified tho cnmmls-
slon has actually been in operation
for mnny months to the sorrow or
American concerns attempting to do
business In Asia Minor.
Uncle Sam Drops n Hint.
The decision of the administra-
tion to take a strong stand in this
respect Is prompted it Is understood
by the bitter protests wiucn ror
mora that a year have poured In
from Amerlcnn business Intercuts
operating in the regions affected. A
hint ot the attitude of this govern-
ment already has been given the nl-
lied powers by Secretary o f
State Hugneg In his noto bearing on
the Lausanno conference In this
communication the secretary ex
pressed the interest of the United
States In maintenance of the free-
dom of the straits the protection
of American lives property nnd
treaty rights and the protection of
religious and racial minorities.
There he went squarely on a
record In opposition to the creation
of so-called speeches on Influence
which Is contrary ta the established
American policy of tho "open
door" or freedom of commercial and
business opportunity all over the
world. The secretary's statement
concerning speeches on Influence
may be Interpreted as having direct
application to the Interallied finan-
cial commission as It has operated
to date.
This commission is comprised ot
representatives ot Great Dritaln
France and Italy with a Turk in a
consultative capacity. It is signifi-
cant that while tho United States
was invited to participate in the so-
called strnlts commission charged
with maintaining the freedom of
the straits no provision lirinado for
an American representative on the
financial commission.
The article of the treaty of Sevres
creating tho commission says:
The allied powers desiring Mo
afford pome measure of relief nnd
assistance to Turkey agreo with the
Turkish government that a financial
commission shall be appointed con-
sisting of ono representative of each
of the following alllod powers who
are especially Interested. France
the Hrltlsh empire nnd Italy with
hum there shall be associated a
Turkish commissioner In a consul-
tative capacity."
Then comes a sweeping authori-
zation for tho financial commission
to take such stops as In Its Judg-
ment are best ndapted to conserve
and incrense the resources of Tur-
key." This Is followed by a program of
regulation nnd supervision extend-
ing In the m(nutcst phases of eco-
nomic life
