Men Since Friday LEFT SCRAWLED NOTES Against Approaching Death By International Sen ice PROVIDENCE, 17 The nine men sought since Friday night when a gas explosion trapped them far below the ground in their Duiu mine of the Bucan Coal Company, were found dead today Ivy rescuers. After penetrating to the entry, where the bodies were found, rescuers reported the men had scrawled notes on the mine wall in chalk, lolling of their desperate attempt to keep alive. Nineteen other miners were killed almost instantly in the explosion but the fate of the nine found today apparently had been even more horrible, as there was evidence they bad fought against approaching death.

One of the notes scribbled on a wall said: alive at 12.150. All praying and Until their bodies were found this morning, it had been hoped the nine had built themselves a barricade against the gas, which was slowly being pumped from the mine. The signs brought shrieks of anguish from several hundred relatives and friends of the trapped men, who had stood vigil throughout the day and night praying that the men might be taken out alive. Thirty-eight men were working in the mine at the time of the explosion. Three more men in another group made their way to a telephone and reported the accident.

These and seven others at the bottom of the shaft escaped. All suffered ili effects from the gas. zant, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. E.

THE vote in Congress showed 12 against and 11 for the action demanded. which probably means that in the Senate as a whole there is not far from a majority, as things stand now, who will not take the Administration view At, least thirty-four Senators have agreed among themselves to pose to limit the restoration of those features of the Bloom bill eliminated by the House chief of which is ihe provision permitting the sale of arms and munitions belligerent nations. SO far as motives are concerned, these Senators may be divided into three groups. First, there are the conscientious men, like Borah and Johnson, Nye and La Follette, who are convinced isolationists, opposed to any form of international cooperation Second, there an the Senators, mostly from Muidle Western States, who reflect or, at least, think they do the feeling of their people.

Third, there are the Senators who dislike and disi run Mr. Roosevelt, who feel that with such a law as he wants he could and would promptly put us into war; that this would fii into his political strategy and might make him first third-term President, AS to the first group the convinced isolationists nothing can be ont Inurd On Thrre at eleven o'clock will be Rev.
