Federal, state and county officials each sought to learn what caused the blast in the No, 6 mine of the Sunday Creek Coal company and the release of gas which filled the underground tunnels Wednesday afternoon. Their actual inspections, however, probably will not be started before late today or tomorrow, when the last traces of the fatal fumes are expected to be cleared from the mine. Scores of hushed funeral proces- sions were the only efidences of the disaster today. The feverish activity of the last two days, the constant work of rescue crews, the patrols of the National Guard, the dispensing of coffee and blankets and the ten- sion of the waiting crowds had given way. @ W. E. Smith, head of the Ohio bu- Teau. of mines, said there were two possible causes of the explosion—ig- nition of either gas or coal dust. An open flame could ignite the gas, while coal dust could be set off only by an arc light, he said. Smith also as- serted there could have been only one explosion instead of the two which the surviving miners reported. ‘There still was a possibility the toll would be today. Some of the 20 injured miners were not ex- pected to live and it was feared a few more bodies that might never be re- covered remained in the mine.

Clemens, Mich., Nov. 7.—(P) —The best minds of the medical Profession and the volunteer aid of hundreds of persons who of- fered home remedies failed to save Virginia Mae Coppins, 19- year-old high school girl, who is dead here of the hiccoughs after more than a year of suffering from the malady, In September, 1929, she was seized with her first attack while in a Detroit hospital for an oper- ation. The malady apparently was checked after 53 days of al- most constant hiccoughing. Dur- ing one of her attacks in succeed- ing months she was visited by thousands of physiclans who were in Detroit to attend the national convention of the American Med- ical association. Her case was studied by no less than 5,000 med- ical men. Four weeks ago an attack began which lasted two weeks. The at-~ tack which brought death yeeter- s day began a week ago. During her final fight against the baf- fling malady, her temperature reached 107 with a pulse of 140 and respiration of 40. The hiccoughing was caused by ®@ spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm brought about through the peculiar reaction of a nerve. Physicians believed that an operation might bring relief but did not perform one because of the girl’s generally delicate health and a weak heart which induced ranging from sudden fright to liberal dos- age of snuff, salt, sugar and raw clay. One man came in a taxi- cab from Cleveland to her home in East Detroit with a patent medicine he was certein would cure her, Republicans Gain Final Gain Final Advan tage When Candidate Wins in Illinois INDIANA CONTEST IS CLOSE Democrats to Ask Recount in All Districts Where Margin Is Not Clear (By The Associated Press) The Republican party retained a bare majority of one in the house in Tuesday's elections on the basis of complete but unofficial returns.
