WEST FRANKFORT, Ill, Jan- uary 29.—Five men were killed and three slightly injured to- day in a local gas explosion in the New Orfent coal mine here, which holds the world’s 8-hour production record. The dead are Jerry Roach, Arlie Sanders, Elijah Hindman, Floyd Kerns and Ed Tobert. More than 1,100 men were in the mine at the time of the explosion, the cause of which could not be determined, CHICAGO, January 29 (@).— Safety measures saved more than 1,000 miners from Injury today when five workers were killed in an explosion in the Orient mine, at West Frankfort, one of the largest in the world, George B. Harring- ton, president of the Chicago, Wil- mington and Franklin Coal Co., declared, after recelving advices of the blast. English reported the §,000-ton The freighter Antinoe disabled. Ruoosevelt instantly left ts course, und everybody scanned the wind-swept mountainous seas. At J o'clock p.m the ship was sighted, rudderless. Its bulkheads started, its curgo of wheat was soaked and its cabins flooded. Terrific seas prevented our near approach. With men depending on the Roosevelt's help, Commander Fried promised to stand by during a terri- ble night in which the entire ship wis in chaos. Sleet and rain and waves like bombs battered the ships Disappeared During Night. The Antinoe disappeared during the night in a blinding snowstorm, while the Roosevelt buffeted the seis for 12 hours through the tempest fignting 38-foot waves and a 75-mile sale. At 3:30 Monday afternoon the An- tinoe was sighted in a_hollow of the sea terribly listing. It was a deso- late spectacle with bridge and rud- der_gone. Eight of the Roosevelt's men volun- teered with two officers for rescue. Comar. Fried drew on our own ofl supply to spread on the waters. Two Swept Away. The boat made a getaway, but was swamped immediately by u comber. After a frantic throwing of ropes and lite preservers, six men were rescued, but two were swept aws One drifted, clinging to the boat and wav- ing his arm. but the other, knocked | senseless, disappeared. Tuesday continued with gales and | noisy booming waters. The Roosevelt continuo circled about the pitch- ing wreck all night. fearing the Anti Frequent carenning turns in the trough of the sea brought the wreck | close enough for us to see men run- ning about its deck. Attempts to Land Rope. We made eight vain attempts to land a rope with cannon, rockets and 1 kite. The last remaining charge fell | short. The situation appeared futile as night came. From time to time the searchlight brought the plunging hulk into relief against the black sky, reeling horribly with each sweep of ) the sea. Another vain attempt was made to unch a boat. Again squalls and blinding snow. The volunteer crew was ordered back. Later a trailer boat was released with a half-mile cable, but it soon began to show a terrible strain. Wednesday morning came with the Tuckless boat still riding the waves. A third boat was launched as a trailer and an attempt to jockey it into posi tion near the wreck proved in vain. The Roosevelt circled perilously near. This lifeboat also was lost. The officers made heavier projectiles over night and finally at 1 o'clock | Wednesday noon a shot carried a rope across the Antinoe's deck. There were shouts of joy from both boats, and then a terrific strain snapped the cable. Full Moon Comes Out. A last effort to launch another boat | was staged and again delayed by the | sual squall and snow. Night came, | but with it the sea suddenly became more quiet, and a full moon emerged. The fifth boat was launched and this time it brought back half the Antinoe's men. Many collapsed on deck. The captain was carried on board totally exhausted. Here followed a stirring scene on deck after four days ceaseless heroic | effort on the bleak Atlantic waters, in which 25 doomed men were saved. Six lifeboats were used up, the final two boats being smashed in contact with the wreck. In the rescue the Roose- velt lost two men.

THE SHERRILL DEFEND CINCINNATI POLICY New City Manager Near Open Break With City Politicians. EVENING Special Dispatch to The Star. CINCINNATI, Ohio, January 29.— ‘What was regarded by many members of the Rotary Club as an open defi by City Manager C. O. Sherrill to the Republican politiclans of this city and county on the subject of appoint- ments was made here today in a short address to the club. City Manager Sherrill said, in effect, that merit and efficlency would be the ruling factors in the appointment of applicants for city positions as long as he continued as city manager. In a general statement Col. Sherrill said: Some of my friends have sald that nobody but Democrats are being ap- pointed to office in the city adminis- tration. T have been told that this reform administration may go the way of all the others and end by reward- ing a number of persons of the oppo- site party without mproving the ef- ficiency of the appointees. Denies Political Troubles. “l want to say right here that in none of the appointments that I have made has politics had the slightest in- fluence. In every case the men ap- pointed were named because of their ability and merit and the service which they could render to the city as employes and officials. It made no difference to me whether they were Democrats or Republicans, or Prot- stants, or Catholics, or Jews, or Gen- tiles. T was looking for the best men to fill the vacancies, and I picked them because they were best. That s the policy that I intend to follow. “There are many who expected me to clean out the city hall of all Re- publicans simply because they were Republicans. That will not be my policy either. Wherever there is a man who has shown that he is able and willing to fulfill his duties, that man will be continued in his place regardless of his party. We are not here to reward men for their party affiliations, but to give Cincinnatl and the people of this city a good and hon- est administration business men. Republican City. “Cincinnati is a Republican city and will continue to be a Republican city if I have my way, and what we intend to do is to give the city such i good business government that the people will say two years hence that the city charter has not been a mis. take and will be willing to continue under the city manager form of gov- ernment. “It is not politics, but business that Wwe are transactin, and we want to keep on the job the men who will do the work best drrespective of their politics or other affilfations.” _The city council and city plan- ning commission both indicated by absolute non-concurrence with City Manager Sherrill's plans regarding the future planning of the city that a break between those bodies of city officlals und Sherrill was certain very soon. Three Republican council mem- bers out of nine refusing to con. cur with Sherrill in regard to the Kellogs avenue improvement, sev- eral open rows are predicted by city leaders soon. Simpler Names Wanted. Naturalists have started a move- ment to get simpler terminology for their branch of sclence. For instance they find themselves confronted with such names as “schedorhinotermes’ and “neoeurhynchotothrips” which are examples of the use-of prefixes with short rather well-known early genera. It is proposed to use codes which will be understood by all naturalists and shorten the prefixes greatly. Another HERZOG special!!

With the ald of high winds, the Chicago-New York overnight air mail established a speed record last night.

The distance is 726 miles and an average speed of 119.6 miles per hour was made, which in- cluded the time utilized in chang- ing planes and pilots at Cleve- land, for which from 15 to 20 minutes is allowed. SR ROCK CAUSES WRECK. Southern Railroad Crash in Vir- ginia Due to Unusual Cause. That most unusual of causes—a large rock on the track—was blamed for the accident on the Southern Rall- way near Danlboone, Va., October 16, last, by the Interstate Commerce Com: mission today. One employe was killed in the accident, in which the engine and 14 freight cars were derailed and five cars demolished The rock which deralled the engine became dislodged from a cut and fell on a rafl. When the engine struck the rock the pilot was broken, and the pony truck wheels derailed, but this was not noticed at the time. The train continued on for two miles when it split a switch and was finally de- rafled. The fireman was killed when caught between the engine cab and the tender.

Revolt at “0ld Order.” [i By Consolidated Press EVANSTON, Ill, January 29.—D: nominational colleges the country over—supposed citadels of funda- mentlism and guardians of the ortho- dox in religlon—must be humming these days with the murmurings of revolt from among students actively championing new views of the mission of the church. The thousand representative stu- dents from most of the Natlon's col leges, who spent several days taking healthy wallops at hide-bound religious ideas during their interdenominational conference here, gave the cue to what is happening to the religious thought of the youth of the land. ‘These coming leaders of the church, many from the popularly pletured cloistered seclusion of Bible schools and religious institutions, struck out fearlessly at the church as at present operated, and at old-fashioned re- liglous 'ideas. They showed few traces of bellef in fundamentalism, and directed their attack at denomination allsm, at church -doctrines, at mis. sionaries and at almost every accepted church custom. But none of the speakers despaired of the church or of religion.
