MAKING PLANS TO BURY 99 MINERS By M. F. Dickey I. N. S. Staff Correspondent KEMMERER, Wyo., Aug. 16. Kemmerer this afternoon buried its first victim of the explosion in the Frontier Mine No. 1 of the Kemmerer Coal Company which wiped out ninety-nine residents. There was no funeral service, only a brief reading of the Scriptures at the grave by the Rev. P. P. Skymanski, pastor of the local Catholic church and Rev. Thomas Evans, Methodist minister. About 15 bodies were interred the committals being necessitated because of the conditions of the bodies. They included seven Japanese. From early morning more than a hundred volunteer coal miners had been digging graves and as a blistering Wyoming sun poured down they were forced at times to work in relays. A committee of Kemmerer women under the guidance of Mrs. H. F. Clark, served refreshments to the grave diggers in the midday heat. The last of the 99 bodies was removed from the mine early today when the blackened body of Tommy Roberts was brot out of the stope. An inquest will be held at 10 a.m. Friday. KEMMERER, Wyo., Aug. 16. Bowed with grief, stricken Kemmerer today planned to bury the remains of the ninety-nine coal miners whose lives were flickered out by the terrific explosion in Frontier Mine No. 1 of the Kemmerer Coal Co. shortly after the men entered the shaft for their day's work last Tuesday morning. Latest figures given out by the mine officials showed that 124 workmen entered the stope; of those 35 were rescued ally, 98 bodies having been recovered and one man, Thomas Roberts, is still entombed. Roberts was a victim of fate, having entered the shaft on the fatal day to substitute for his brother. The aged father of "Tommy" Roberts has haunted the mouth of the mine for two days and nights praying that by some miracle his son's life may have been spared. FRENCH BEGIN ON REPARATIONS VOTE PARIS, Aug. 16.—The preliminary work of drafting to the latest British reparations note was begun today under the personal supervision of Premier Poincaire. Foreign office officials said that in addition to answering the British communication point by point, the document will contain a concise resume of the French reparations viewpoint. It is learned that the French resume probably will favor a partial moratorium for Germany, followed by the exploitation of German railroads and industries under a monopoly plant proposed by the Belgians. SWEEPING PROBE OF KU KLUX RIOT STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 16. A sweeping investigation into responsibility for theiot late last night in which two men were shot, one perhaps fatally injured, a dozen klansmen injured and about 40 members of a raid-for-all hattle with 100 klansmen suffered blackened eyes and cuts and bruises, was promised by Sieuhenville and Jefferson-co authorities today. Three automobiles, in which 12 of the visiting members of the Ku Klux Klan from Wierten, W.Va., and East Liverpool, Ohio, had driven to the city, were wrecked. Darwin L. Gibson, a Panhandle conductor, was shot thru the head and probably fatally wounded. John De Hantis, a spectator, was shot thru the left eye. Ten arrests have been made. The battle began when the klan meeting broke up at 10:45 last night. When the visiting klansmen filed from the hall to enter their waiting machines, a spokesman for the mob halted the first man to enter his car, objecting to use of the American flag as a drape for the hood of the automobile. Hot words ensued, and then a fist fight was begun. Twelve klansmen seated in the three leading machines suffered injuries inflicted by Latest figures given out by the mine officials showed that 124 workmen entered the stope; of those 35 were rescued ally, 98 bodies having been recovered and one man, Thomas Roberts, is still entombed. Roberts was a victim of fate, having entered the shaft on the fatal day to substitute for his brother. The aged father of "Tommy" Roberts has haunted the mouth of the mine for two days and nights praying that by some miracle his son's life may have been spared. That he is dead, however, is conceded on all sides. Many heartrending scenes were enacted at the two downtown morgues all during last night, as hundreds of relatives and friends viewed the bodies, many of which continued to lay stretched under the white canvas on the floors of the Odd Follows Hall and Fitzpatrick Undertaking Parlors. That quick burial of some of the victims is necessary was made plaint today when it was learned that purification and embolism had set in in several bodies. At a meeting of Frontier Local of the United Mine Workers lasting until an early hour this morning, plans for burial of the dead were made. Plans were completed for a general memorial service to be held in the triangular public square at Kemmerer at 2 p.m. Friday. Civic and fraternal organizations of Kemmerer will be invited to participate in this service and it is expected that all business houses will be closed and a day of general mourning be decared by the civic authorities.

Messages from Saskatchewan be Hantis, a spectator, was shot thru the left eye. Ten arrests have been made. The battle began when the klan meeting broke up at 10:45 last night. When the visiting klansmen filed from the hall to enter their waiting machines, a spokesman for the mob halted the first man to enter his car, objecting to use of the American flag as a drape for the hood of the automobile. Hot words ensued, and then a fist fight was begun. Twelve klansmen seated in the three leading machines suffered injuries inflicted by fists, sticks and stones. Their cars were wrecked. Police and sheriffs deputies after more than three quarters of an hour, quelled the fighting. Before the meeting, the visiting klansmen, numbering about 100, headed by a band paraded the downtown streets in 25 automobiles. Their cars were decorated with electrically illuminated crosses, the stars and stripes and klan insignia. TULSA, Okla., Aug. 16.—The lash with which Governor Jack Walton plans to drive mob violence out of Oklahoma struck for the first time today. Two men were arrested by national guardsmen charged with being members of a party which on April 15 flogged Walter Tuina of Red Fork Okla. One was Robert Atkins, former deputy sheriff. The other man's identity was not made known. Attorney General Short was to file information against the alleged lasheres later today.

Staff Correspondent) DUBLIN, Aug. 16.—One Irish Republican was killed and three free staters wounded in a clash at Dantry today. The Free State government is taking precautions to prevent republican reprisals for the arrest of Damou De Valera in County Clare yesterday. It is likely De Valera will be interned until after the election on August 27. The Irish press generally approves of De Valera's arrest. Annie MacSwiney, sister of the late Lord Mayor of Cork, who died on a hunger strike in an English prison, speaking at Mullinger, said: "We want an honorable peace without firing another shot. We will not have Ireland divided." EXTEND BLOCADE MAYENCE, Germany, Aug. 16. The interallied high commission today extended nidefinitely the blocade between occupied and unoccupied Germany.

The Republicans have issued an order dated August 1, and signed by De Valera, appointing Patrick Rutledge "deputy president of the Irish Republic." Rutledge is a candidate for the Dall in County Mayo. In a statement, Rutledge said: "William T. Cosgrave (president of the Dall) said the Free State did not refuse any person the right to be heard. The arrest of De Valera prevented him from addressing his constituents. This shows up the government's pretence at free speech.
