C„ May 21) (By the Associated Press).— Forty ' widows today mourned the loss of husbands who \vere entombed in the mine disaster here Wed nesday. and seventy-five are orphaned, it was stated by mine officials. Following is the revised list of the dead and entombed men: The dead: George S. Anderson, Hub ert Anderson, Hollis Richardson, Will Blerly, Archie Holland, Will Irick, (col.), Ed Wright, (col.), James Wil liams (coi.), Henry Hall, Jeff Riner, Walter Dillingham, David Wilson, John Shaw, Chas. Watson, June Cotton and Bee Buchanan. The revised list of the men known to be in the mine who have not been removed)is as follows: A. F. Martin, C. V. Johnson, Joe Hudson, Claude Wood, J. E. Baubscher, A. B. stokes, A. Williams, H. W. Sulti van, N. R. Johnson, Joe Burgess, C. B. Woods, H. Holmes, David Barr, John Alston, Henry Alston, W. E. Howard, James Srpuill, Albert Holland, Wade Wilson, Will Malone, Sam Napier, Dan Hudson, O. B. Davis, Ruben Cham bliss, Tom Cotton, Arthur Poe, T. D. Wright, H C. Hall, D. McDonald, X. E. Dillingham, Wilson Chasmer, Manly Bambert, John Curd, Jim Nobin, Oscar Wright, William Buck, James Wright, Rufus Wright, T. X. Wright and Isaac Hayes. The list will remain incomplete until the last man has been removed and iden tified. It was to some extent the custom of miners to go into the mine without checking in and report on coming out. Seventy-one lamps are missing from the lamp room, which is the basis for the fear that the list may mount beyond the number actually checked in. Abandon AU Hope For lives of Trapped Men. Coal Glen. May 28.—Healizationation had come to the little mining town of Coal Glen today that there was prac tically no hope of rescuing any of the miners entombed by Wednesday's ex-' plosion and the populace had set about the grim task of bringing to the surface Ten Pages Today Two Sections The Concord Daily Tribune I ; of the earth the almost unrecognizable forms that had been fathers, husbands and mothers. AH through the day crew after crew of miners entered the mine until the 2.200 foot level had been penetrated and 1(5 bodies removed from the mine. All had died as a result of gas which fol lowed the three explosions of Wednes day. Between he rescue erew and the end of the mine 300 feet further on was a mass of slate) timber and a wreckage in which the miners stated there could be seen several bodies. It was their intention to attempt to clear from about the bodies so that they could be extricat ed and carried back to the mine ears to be hoisted to the surface. It was believed that a majority of the bodies of the 3(5 miners still entombed would be found during the night. All Hope Abandoned. Faint hope that some of the men will be found alive was held out to relatives this evening when one of the rescue crews reported a sound further down the shaft as of voiees. 'Bater crews winch entered the shaft were unable to hear any sounds and mine officials expressed the, belief thnt. the condition of the bodies already recovered practically put an end to hopes that some of the men might be alive- The bodies were multi ated almost beyond recognition. A mine ear of the federal bureau of mines arrived at the mine during the morning and lent valuable assistance to the rescue parties. Bed by T. T. Read, safety director of the bureau, and E. H. Graff, foreman of the car, the crew of experts entered the mine shortly after tehir arrival from West Virginia, tak ing with them a canary to test the as mosphere. The air was sufficiently pure for the rescuers not to be affected after an hour’s stay in the lower levels. During the day experts remained at the furtherest working point of the shaft from its entrance and aided the miners in brattioing the airway, testing the air and otherwise directing the work of rescue. The work of brattieing the shift went forward rapidly during the day. By brattieing is meant the closing of all laterals so that pure air may be driven down the . main passage way toward the entombed miners and those seeking to rescue them- After leaving the 1.1)00 foot level the miners were £o*mUi> pfeflndoj) &MUP Cara .and. proceed along on foot. The bodies re moved from the mine today had to be extricated then carried nearly 100 yards through the debris to the cars. The pro gress necessarily was slow, i False Report Started. Relative and friends of the miners, ns well as the workers themselves, pass ed through a liarrowing experience just at daybreak today when a false alarm was spread that one of the mining crews which had gone below apparently had been overcome. The crew of seven men had been sent down for an hour's shift and was accompanied by Major Mcßtod, a member of the state highway commission staff sent to the scene by Governor Mcßean and Commissioner Page. Major Mcßeod, who said that he had had several experiences in mines, stayed near the mine cars while the crew went several hundred feet beyond him to carry on the work. At the end of the hour the men had #>t returned to their car and their headlights were not visible to Major Mcßeod. He called and received a response and one of the men came back sometime later. Then, said Major Mcßeod, the surface men began to signal the crew, it having been be low nearly double itß allotted shift. The major ealied again and one of the miners responded that the air was bad and that he could not see or hear the other miners. Major Mcßeod signalled to the top and he with one pf the miners came to the surface with a report that the crew could not be communicated with and that the air was said to be bad. Disaster Pictures Are Sent By Plane. I Fayetteville, May 28.—Carrying of ficial air service photographs of the mine disaster at Coal Glenn and views taken by a representative of a news service. Bieut. John B. Patrick and Bieut. Don W. Mayhue left l'ope field in an army plane for Washington, D. C-, this afternoon.

CONCORD, N. C., FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1925 THE COTTON MARKET Quiet During Early Trading, While Op ening Was Steady at an Advance. 1 By the Associated Press! New York, May 20.—The cotton mar ket was quiet in today's early trading, but showed easier under liquidation or looal selling promoted by hope of showers in the southwest. The opening was steady at an'.advance of 2 points to a de cline of 5 (mints on comparatively steady Biverpool cables. Two more private crop reports were issued, one estimating an iucrease ‘of about 6 per cent, in acreage and a condi tion of 74.2; and the other condition 71.1 and acreage increase (5.1 per cent. Neith er appeared to have much effect, but a low barometer in the Southwest leading to private forecasts of showers, was re flected in declines of 22.37 for October, with active months showing net losses of about 7 to 0 points as the end of the first hour. Cotton futures opened steady. July 23 06: Oct. 22.46; Dec. 22.(51; .Tan. 22.22; March 22.46. DR. NANSEN BELIEVES AMUNDSEN IS SAFE Expresses Belief That Explorer Will Re turn Safely From Flying Exploration to North Pole. Berlin, May 20 (R.v the Associated Press). —Dr. Fridtjoff Nansen, the Arctic explorer who is visiting here, expressed liis belief today that Amundsen will re turn safely from his flying expedition to tlie North Pole. I)r. Nansen said it would be impossible for Amuudsen to determine from the air whether he was at the pole, therefore lie believes Amundsen landed when he thought he was near the pole and then took observations. This would require some and then it would be necessary for the party tc journey afoot to the pole where Amundsen would wish to take sufficient time for measurements and ob servations. Therefore, said Dr. Nansen, there is no need for worry because he has not yet returned. 1 — With Our Advertisers. The Charles Store will have many spe cials for you Saturday.

Husban. former immigration commissioner 1 said today, is being diverted from the; Florida peninsula toward New Orleans and Charleston. S. C. due to the vigilance of the border patrol on the peninsula. Some 700 immigrants who entered the country illegally have been arrested in the Florida district since last July Ist. Establishment of the border patrol. ’ Mr. Husban declared, has made the Flor ida route unpopular for illegal entry of immigrants, adding that he hoped to sec the patrol of a picked body of men com parable to the Northwest Mounted Police and the Texas Rangers. European immigrants who aim to en ter the United States illegally byway ot Cuba, are for tbe most part, the Assistant Secretary asserted, ferried across in sinal l bootlegging craft. The'plan of entering Mexico and going across the United States border has shown signs of reviving, al though iu the past it was found difficult and expensive. In Cuba many of the European immigrants awaiting a chance to dash into the I’nited States become street peddlers, others sign on ship's crews and desert them when they gel there.

Frankfort, Ky„ May 20.—The largest and most extensive oaves in the country , and perhaps, in the world are found in Kentucky, according to Dr. W. I). Funk . houser, zoologist at the University of Kentucky, who with the do-operation of ' Dr. Willard Rouse Jillson, state geolo ; gist, has made exhausive studies over several years. Declaring that these caves hold many secrets of old and even prehistoric days, Dr. Funkhouser said Kentucky is neg lecting a great opportunity to'contribute to the field of science, which European . explorers, coining to this state, might grasp to “bring to light important data whiety have been for years within our reach, but for which we have neglected even to search." Dr. Funkhouser was Governor Fields' scientific represenative at the time of the Floyd Collins tragedy at Sand Cave. The military court of inquiry, appointed by the governor, has just declared Col lins to have been imbedded in Sand Hole instead of a cave. Its official report declared Mammoth Cave, for the estab lishing of which as a national park a movement is under foot, and other eaves "are safer than Main Street.” Mentioning Mammoth Cave, Crystal Cave, Onyx Cave, Colossal Cavern, Horse Cave and Grand Cave, l)r. Funkhouser said, "none of these eaves has been en tirely explored and their extent is prob lematical. "Most of them extend for miles under the surface of the earth—passage after passage, chamber after chamber, with branches in many directions, offering rare displays of stalactites and stalagmites and dazzling surfaces of crystal and or namental rock.” In virtually all parts of the statewher-l ever limestone or any thickness and pur-1 ity occurs near the surface, the men have found large subterranean caverns, be sides thousands of smaller eaves and "sinks," wliic hoften are the entrances to caves-. Most of these eaves have been formed by the dissolving out of the beds of soluble limestones by underground wat ers, "They are inhnbiated today by foxes, coons, skunks, and bats,” I)r. Faunk linuser said, "and are used as places of. hibernation by snakes, lizards, and hosts of lower forms. In former years the bears and wolves made them their dens and dragged the carcasses of their prey into their gloomy recesses to be devoured. "Today the cattle seek the cool mouths of the caves to escape the heat and Hies; a hundred or more years ago the btiffalo used them for the same purpose as is mutely testified by their bom's. "The eaves also have a very interest ing fauna of their own, consisting of the blind fish, blind crickets, blind cray fish, peculiar spiders and distinct species of salamanders which are found in large numbers far underground but never on the surface." In the recent second digging to ex tricate Floyd Collins' body from Band Hole, after the State had closet! its ef forts, a large family of vicious snakes were found squirming and wiggling crazi y about fifty feet down and the diggers finally killed them near Collins' under ground tomb. Their presence so far underground was unaccounted for by the diggers. Protected from influences of air and water, bones which have been found are a valuable record of anoient fauna, said Dr. Funkhauser. In one cave near Lexington, the bones of coons, foxes, wolves, groundhogs, skunks, a bear, a deer, and a human being, were accident ally discovered. Conference of Episcopal Diocese.

DARE DEVILSWILL FLIRT WITH DEATH Diavalo, Many of Mystery, Will Be Attraction of the Flying Circus.—Landing Field Below the City. Arrangement.-; were completed today by The Tribune to bring the famous Gates Flying Circus to Concord to stage exhibitions of stunt flying and aerial dare-deviltry here Tuesday and Wednes day. 1 nder the terms of the flyers’ contract with The Tribune, all of the exhibitions will be free of any admission charge. They will be staged Tuesday and Wed nesday afternoons at the flying field about a mile and a half out South Union street. Every person in Concord and the aur- » rounding territory is invited to attend. These same aviators and dare-devils have recently featured several aerial cir cuses throughout the South. They now are on a • tour under the auspices of a chain of newspapers interested in pre senting to their readers an educational and thrilling spectacle. In addition The Tribune has arranged foi ten of its readers to be taken on air plane flights without charge to them. At noon Tuesday and Wednesday the airplanes will fly over the business dis trict of Concord, and at 12:30 o’clock they will swoop down over The Tribune office and shower down rolled copies of The Tribune in the street in front of the office. Inside five of these newspapers each ' day The Tribune will place the tickets. Each will be worth an airplane ride when presented at the flying field Other per sons who desire to fly and who do not get one of the special ten tickets, will be taken aloft at nominal charges before and after the exhibitions. The daring wing-walking and dare devil stunts of Diavalo Kranti and the stunt performances of Pilots Pangborn, Ashcraft and Brooks will feature the' performances. On Tuesday afternoon Krantz wiU. stiht on his head on the top wing of a speeding airplane, will swing by one hand from the landing gear, will clamber and climb all over the "ship,” even to the end e*f the fuselage, and. as a final dar ing stunt, will stand erect on the top wing while the airplane loops the loop. Centrifugal force will hold him there, be ing stronger than the pull ,of gravity while the airplane speeds in its loop. He will again walk the wings of the speeding airplanes on Wednesday, and as a feature stunt, lie will perform the sensational breakaway. He will fasten a slender thirty-foot rope to one leg, hang by his knees from the landing gear, then release himself and swing at the end of the dangling rope while the air plane circles over the field. Although the performance will begin early in the afternoon, it will not end until nearly dark. It is probable that with good weather prevailing, the fea ture act will not be staged until late enough for persons employed during busi ness hours to attend. The flyers now are in Charlotte. The first two airplanes will arrive probably late Monday, while the third, which will come from Norfolk, Virginia, will be later. The famous Clyde E. Pangborn, America's first upside down flyer, and a former army instructor, will pilot this airplane. Measles Spoil Perfect Record for 23 Years Port, Allegheny. ’ Pa..
