COMPANY WILL AID WIDOWS OF VICTIMS By M. F. DACEY (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) KEMMERER, Wye, Aug. 15—The widows and children of the victims of the explosion at Frontier Mine No. 1 of the Kemmerer Coal Company will be cared for by the company, and there will be no need of outside assistance from any source for stricken Kemmerer. This was the assurance given today to International News Service by P. J. Quealy, president of the company and reputed to be one of the wealthiest men in Wyoming. In an official statement given out at 10 o'clock this morning Quealy declared that the cause of the explosion, which snuffed out the lives of one hundred coal miners, depleting the town's population by nearly five percent, had not been determined. "The cause of the explosion at Frontier No. 1 has not yet been determined" Quealy said, "but everything indicates a blow-out shot probably in entry No. 30, the last entry of the mine. One hundred and one miners and 34 day men were in the mine at the time of the explosion. Thirty-five were taken out alive. All men are out now except 11, who are probably in entry 30 and whose bodies are expected to be recovered." "We believe ventilation has been fully restored throughout the mine. "All parts of the mine were explored early today except 500 feet of entry 30, where we believe the remaining dead—11 men—are now entombed. "The fan was not displaced, outside of the stoppings that were blown out of the stope. "The ventilation was never out of order except below the steppings. "Men entered the mine immediately after the car that was on the way down the stope was derailed—directly after the explosion." Conflicting reports were gleaned from several miners who were under ground when the blast came, some NATIONS LEAGUE HAS REAL TEETH, SAYS LABOR HEAD Royal Meeker. "The league of nations has 'long and sabre-like teeth' with which it could help avert war by bringing economic pressure to bear upon any nation that resorts to arms without submitting to arbitration." So declares Royal Meeker, head of the international labor office of the league. He has been lecturing on the league.

Lewis, international president, went into conference with members of the federal coal commission late this afternoon. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—The first effort of the Coolidge administration to end the deadlock existing between anthracite operators and miners in the negotiation of a new wage scale—the calling of representatives from each of the two warring groups to meet with the U.S. Coal Commission in New York this afternoon—is expected to result in a speedy resolution of negotiations government officials declared today. It was stated the administration would not countenance any prolonged discussion of the big point at issue between the operators and miners. MINERS, OPERATORS BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Representatives of miners and operators of the anthracite coal fields were gathering here today for a conference with the U.S. coal commission which is seeking to avoid a strike now threatened. John L. Lewis, union head, will head the miners. Samuel D. Warriner, chairman of the operators' committee, will be spokesman for his group, John Hays Hammond, chairman of the coal commission, will preside. The position of the three factions as outlined in pre-conference statements, showed: Lewis—"While accepting the government's invitation to confer, the miners have in no way backed down from their demand that the operators grant full recognition of the union." Warriner—"The operators now, as always, are ready to arbitrate all differences." Hammond—"On Sept. 1, the coal bins in many thousands of homes will be absolutely bare. It is the duty of the coal commission to report the facts to place responsibility where it belongs, recommending a course of action in the interest of those without household fuel."

The local volunteers were able during the late afternoon and night by a United States mine rescue crew that arrived on the scene at 2 p.m. Despite the use of helmets and many gallons of oxygen, the extremely "bad" air in the mine forced the rescue workers to frequently come to the entrance of the mine. Relays worked for approximately twenty minutes during the day and it was early evening before any bodies were discovered. A score of women rushed to the cars, grasping the bodies to ascertain if among the victims was a member of their family. GRAPHIC STORY OF ESCAPE FROM MINE (By M. F. Dacey) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) KEMMERER, Wyo., Aug. 15.—At the brilliant rays of a midday Wyoming sun beat down upon Kemmerer today the American flag at half mast in the public square was the chief sign of mourning over the mine blast that affected nearly every family in this town of 1800 odd souls. At intervals the narrow streets presented a drab appearance as windows with bowed heads quietly sobbed accompanied by small children who were barely able to realize the enormity of their bereavement, wedded their way to the morgues to view the bodies of their loved ones. Men outwardly calm gathered in occasional groups to discuss the disaster which has overtaken their relatives and fellow citizens. They said little to Youblders." At majority of the widows speak very little English. Sam Bott, an Indian miner who attributes his escape to providence, told a graphic story of being caught in the middle chamber of entry twenty-nine when the explosion occurred.

Poor Valandra tried to make his way along the stope and I saw his dead body brot out later." Bott was one of the first to be rescued being taken out of the mine about three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Bott said himself and about 15 companions found pretty good air in the chambers of entry No. 27, after crawling along some distance on their hands and knees where they remained until the rescue workers found them. "None of us lost consciousness, and we just knelt and prayed for several hours that our lives would be spared. There was little confusion in the mine as the men who were in the stope at the time of the explosion met almost instant death." Warriner—"The operators now, as always, are ready to arbitrate all differences." Hammond—"On Sept. 1, the coal bins in ninny thousands of homes will be absolutely bare.

Munger When the General Petroleum puts Clock No. 1 on production tomorrow the honor of having the deepest oil producer in the world will be moved from the Roumanian oil fields to Long Beach. It was the original intention of the General Petroleum to carry this deep test well to a depth of 6000 feet, but on account of the condition of the casing drilling was stopped at 5959. Clock No. 1 will exceed anything in the Roumanian field by about 406 feet, and will be 500 feet deeper than any well put on production to date in the California field. It will require almost 2000 feet of screen casing to take care of the oil bearing formation in this new world record well. The famous "Screener Bill" Billy Rae will figure in the world's deepest well in that his product will be used in the oil string. M. H. Soyster former deputy油 and gas supervisor for the State Mining Bureau and now engaged in private petroleum engineering work performed a nice piece of oil engineering for the Bay Hills Oil Co., by bringing in for the company a 4000 barrel well in territory where here-to-fore small producers and water wells had been the general run. Soyster recommended that the Bay Hills No. 2 well be completed at 4100 feet and a cementing thru perforations made at 3460. The results were a big producer, high gravity production, and a well free from water. The success of Soyster for the Bay Hills means much for the field. "Big Well Milly" has scored again at Long Beach. Nothing but ten thousand barrel wells seems to be on Milly's program.

Official announcement of recognition will be made by the state department as soon as the treaty has been approved by Secretary Hughes, possibly before the end of the week. The negotiations which were carried on in Mexico City between Chas. Becacher Warren and John B. Payne, the American commissioners, and representatives of the Mexican government, were entirely satisfactory, according to officials. The treaty has settled all outstanding differences. It is based chiefly on acceptance by Mexico of the program laid down by Secretary of State Hughes, providing for Mexican guarantees for the protection of alien property rights against confiscation. Twice before the United States had agreed to sign a treaty of amity and commerce with Mexico, but on both occasions, the refusal of the Mexican government to accept the terms prevented consummation.

The reduction will bring the tank price down to 19 1-2 cents a gallon. Officials of the company said the cut did not forecast a rate war such as exists in the middle west. Rate slashing between the independents and the Standard, it was said, was out of the question in the east. ORANGE PUTS OVER SEWER BOND ISSUE The sewer bond issue proposition never in doubt, was carried by Orange yesterday by a vote of 798 to 33. The amount fixed was $150,000.

The bond issue will increase the tax rate from $1.65 per $100 to $1.75. Forty-seven Idaho rattlesnakes are being shipped to Holland for scientific purposes. HEART HOME PROBLEMS BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a daughter 18 years old who for three years has teased her father and me to let her have her hair bobbed. We have not approved of bobbed hair and have refused to give our consent. Lately we have been talking it over and we are afraid we have been wrong in denying her a thing which she wants so much. Do you think Bobbed hair will go out of style soon and therefore it would be foolish to give our consent now? MARY'S MOTHER. Bobbed hair shows no signs of going out of style. Many have let their hair grow, but on the other hand many are bobbing their hair this year who have not done so before. It seems to me you are quite right in deciding to let your daughter do a thing which she desires so very much. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl sixteen years of age and have been going with a young man three years my senior. I love him very much and he also tells me he loves me. But he acts funny at times. I think it is through his parents as they don't want him to bother with any other girl except the one he was going with before me. He tells me he does not care for her, but her parents think should I continue to go with him without their knowledge of it? I absolutely hate any underhanded love affair for I am far too old to stoop to that. My fliance is unaware of the stand taken by my folks. I wish to spare his feelings in the matter, for naturally it would hurt him to think that he was considered so very far inferior to me. Should I tell him? He is well thought of in the neighborhood and there is no reason for my parents to feel as they do. I am not partial to long engagements, but I cannot gain the consent of my parents and so I have not spoken of it. Would it be wrong to elope? Or would you advise me to wait until I am eighteen? I am very frivolous and have gone with many boys, but love never occurred to me until I met this boy. I know we were meant for each other. FLUFFY. I would advise you to obey your parents for another year. Tell your fliance that your parents object to the serious relationship between you and therefore they have forbidden you to see him again. It would be useless to say that they consider him inferior. If he really loves you he will wait until you are eighteen, at which time your engagement begins. NEWS OF THE WEEK ENGAGEMENT in deciding to let your daughter do a thing which she desires so very much. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl sixteen years of age and have been going with a young man three years my senior. I love him very much and he also tells me he loves me. But he acts funny at times. I think it is through his parents as they don't want him to bother with any other girl except the one he was going with before me. He tells me he does not care for her, but her parents think she is just the girl for him. She is at his house often and tries to push her self on to him whenever she gets a chance. I think he is going to give me up just to please his parents, but I don't think on his own account he would. Should I try to win his love still more, or should I let him go? I think it will break my heart if she wins. Please tell me what to do to win him away from her. BROKEN-HEARTED PEGGY. You are more likely to keep the boy if you assure him he is perfectly free to leave you. Human nature is a contrary thing; if you oppose the boy's interest in the other girl, you will only strengthen his regard for her. Since he is only nineteen yeah-old, it is only natural that the will of his parents should govern him somewhat. My advice is to take what comes cheerfully and not try to change the natural bend of affairs. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am seventeen years old and have been going with a fine young man two years my senior. Of course we have had some very serious quarrels, for they say "True love never runs smooth." I am the only child in the family and naturally my parents observe every movement of my boy friend's as being one toward the altar and they forbid any thoughts of marriage. I am engaged to this young man, but fearing that my parents might cause my flame trouble I have not revealed the secret. A few evenings ago my parents absolutely forbade my going with him any longer. If only they knew how impossible that would be! Of course they think it is for my own good, but I know no one can ever take his place. Then too, my parents cannot possibly expect to have me with them always. I am eighteen? I am very frivolous and have gone with many boys, but love never occurred to me until I met this boy. I know we were meant for each other. FLUFFY. I would advise you to obey your parents for another year. Tell your fiance that your parents object to the serious relationship between you and therefore they have forbidden you to see him again. It would be useless to say that they consider him inferior. If he really loves you he will wait until you are eighteen, at which time your engagement can be announced. To elope would be most unwise. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been engaged to a young man for three years and for some time I have realized that he no longer loved me as he did. The other night I told him what I thought and he confessed that I was right. Of course the only thing to do was to break our engagement. He was perfectly willing, but when I wanted to give back my diamond engagement ring he begged me to keep it, because he said he had no right to use it, and he always thot it looked pretty on my hand he wanted me as a friend and he would feel I wasn't bitter toward him if I would only keep the engagement ring as a gift from a friend. I do not feel bitter toward him, because I know his love merely died. He has tried the beat he could to keep on loying me, but in spite of himself he has only been able to think of me as a friend. I suppose it is absolutely necessary for me to give back the ring. In this case, however, I would much prefer to disregard convention and keep his offering to show I am not bitter! I still love him in away, but I am convinced that a marriage would be out of the question for me because my former sweetheart seems only like a friend. What would you advise me to do? IN DOUBT Do as your heart dictates. Conventions are all right in the majority of cases, but there are times when the individual desire and need should be considered. I can see how the man feels. To him it is bad enough that his love has died and it seems impossible for him to take back the thing he wanted you to have so much. Neither of you is to blame for the result of your engagement. Time has taken a hand and settled matters for you by changing your love into a state of friendship.
