Flame* Have Gained Such Headway
That It Is Feared Mine Will
Have to be Sealed.
ECCLES. W. Va, May 2.—Seventy
five bodies were recovered from the
New East River coal mine yesterday
and the work of attempting to re
cover the other bodies is progressing
but is greatly hampered by the fury
of the flames.
! Mafly times the rescue Workers
wei*e forced to desist from Aheir work
of removing the debris which filled
tunnels leading to the compartment
Where the bodies were recovered.
The workers remain below but a
short time before being forced to the
surface and their places eagerly tak
eii by others.
The flames have gained such head
way that it Is feared, that the mine
will have to be sealed in order to
smother the fire. All efforts to close
the compartment where the explo
sion occurred have failed, as the tim
bers of the mine have been wreck
ed, making the rescue work danger
'ous in the extreme.
The scene at the mine as the man
gled bodies of the jminers was
brought to the surface beggars de
scription. Despite the efforts of the
guards the relatives of the men
pressed forward to see if their miss
ing fathers or brothers were among
those brought out. The bodies are
being prepared for burial at the ex
pense of the company which oper
ates the mine.
BELIEVES DR. COOK
DISCOVERED POLE
Senator Poindexter Says Grievous
Wrong Has Been Done in Heap
ing Abuse on Explorer
WASHINGTON. May 2. Senator
Poindextfr has introduced a resolu
tion which may again open the Cook
Peary controversy concerning the
discovery of the north pole. His res
olution provides for official recogni
tion of Dr. Cook as the discoverer
of the north pole, to award him $300
in recognition for his services and
to give him an appropriate medal
which could be handed down to fu
ture generations of the discoverer.
Senator Poindexter stated that he
I was wel laware of the controversy
which his measure would occasion,
btu he believed that this country owed
Dr. Cook recognition for his achieve
ments. Many able scientists, not of
America alone, but of European
countries, had been forced to the
conclusion after yeare of careful in
vestigation of the data furnished by
both claimants that Dr. Cook was
the real discoverer of the pole.
The Washington senator declared
that he had no criticism to offer
against Peary for his att'enijit to se
cure recognition as the discoverer
of the pole. Peary had been giv
en the prestige of powerful influences
which had discredited Dr. Cook be
fore the world, but careful scientists
of Denmark had recently given the
lat'er ftili recognition for his achieve
ment and he believed that this na
tloh could not do less than be fair.
Among the arrivals at Cordova a
couple of weeks ago werd Mr. C.
Lowell, wife and young daughter of i
13 years. They were old-tinie Alas
kans on their way to the Shushanna
country. They took the first train
,©ut after the recent blockade and'
made good progress. On Friday last
.they were crossing the Nisina gla
ssier when Mrs. Lowell was attacked
rwith a stroke of apoplexy. ”
