Little Hope For Entombed Miners In Gas Explosion
McALESTER, Okla., Oct. 28.— (UP)—Men braved gas, perils of fire and falling walls in slopes of the Wheatley coal mine here tonight to reach 29 comrads trap ped by an explosion.
Rescue squads, equipped to walk through dreaded “black damp" gas which filled the mine, resumed a 24-hour battle to learn that fate of the miners entombed behind tons of debris in the lower slopes.
All members of the night crew were caught by the blast which racked the workings shortly after they entered last night. It killed one man near the entrance, loosened a “fall" of earth and timbers at the 14th level, and entombed 29 others'on the 16th, 17th and 18th passageways. It was feared all were dead.
FRATERNITIES HOLD SECOND GET TOGETHER
Theta Sigma Nus Hosts at Smoker Monday Night for Greeks.
From three to five hundred fraternity men attended the Greek smoker Monday night at the Theta Sigma Nu house .according to Fred Chase, chairman of the inter-fraternity relations committee of the lnterfraternlty council.
"The near beer was all gone some time before the smoker was over, which is some indication of the great number who attended,” Chase declared. “Anyone who was there will agree that there remains not the slight;-*, doubt of the success of the smoker Idea, after the Theta Sigma Nu affair Monday-night.”
Over a score of houses have asked that they be allowed to put on the next smoker, which is tentative ly set for Nov. 18, Chase announced. The third affair had already been promised to one fraternity, however, and if that house can make the arrangements for the dale It will be announced within a few days.
Subsequent smokers will be assigned to volunteering houses by some sort of impartial selection, probably drawing out of a hat. Chase announced.
Paul Zander, interfraternitycoun-cil president and head of the Theta Sigma Nu house, also expressed great satisfaction over the attendance Monday night.
“It was In line with our expectations that more men would know-each other at the second smoker, as a result of the flrst gathering at the S. A. E. house, and we were not disappointed. At each succeeding smoker there should be an increase in cordiality until by the end of the year there will be few fraternity men who have not increased their list of friends on the campus many times,” Zander declared.
Dean Francis Bacon, counselor of men, attended the Theta Sigma Nu gathering and said that ln his opinion the movement was gaining momentum rapidly and there was no question of its success.
