(By Assoiated IPres) ALSDO), GermayO ()ct. 21 - ilhe explosion of a ton of dyna mite in the No. 2 shaft of the An na coal mine here early this morn- ing killed probably oo men.. The number has not been dein- itely established, with the Prussia government press bureau estimat- ing loo, and mine oficials caln- lating the total as less, but 6 od- ies had been recovered by o'clock tonight and it was felt more would be found. Many Await Rescue In addition, 76 miners are in the hospital, with the liklihood of some of them dying, while about 150 others still are awaiting rescue from a gallery beneath the scen of the explosion. Relief experts be- lieve part of these, who will be reached from neighboring galler- les not damaged, will be found in time. The explosion, which occured 1200 feet below the surface, dealt death and destruction for miles a- round and brought grief to the 10,- 000 inhabitants of this mining town. All day long weeping wives and children waited outside the pit mouth. Three Ip4osi ns LHeard Apparently there were three ex- plosions. The first, a gas blast, caused the dynamite stored in one' of the shafts to explode. The great force of this upheavel blew out gas- oline tanks in a building on the surface and the administration building also collapsed. This lat - ter inflicted a score of casaulties. Mine officials said part of the dif- ficulty in estimatng the casualties lay in the fact that many of the 666 miners who went down on the day shift escaped safely but were so frightened they did not check out with the company. The 150 imprisoned men are at a depth of 1,550 feet and ceaseless efforts are being made to reach them. Damaged ventilation and pumping machinery has been re- paired to facilitate the work. When the blast occurred the f r't thought of the countryside was of an earthquake, with panic-stricken country-folk for miles around flee- ing into the open. This was the second large Ger- man mine disaster within four months, the previous one being at Neurode, Silesia with a death roi of more than 150. - Desclos Will Lecture on French Art Today M.

The paper said, "Earl Martineau, Christy Flanagan, and Bill Mathei, all of assistant coaches, were thej scouts." The Boilermakers are to play Wis- consin this Saturday at Lafayette, Ind., and the game is regarded as one of the most difficult of the ! Badgers' schedule. The story said: Martineau, the accredited scout, had no troubie getting into the press box, andl Flanagan also managed to wiggle in. Mathei, however, couldn't get by the ushers, and when he protested, a near-fight followed. He was final- ly given a seat elsewhere in the sta- dium.

' If there is some question as to the courses which should be electedI for the next semester, Gargoyle is prepared to assist you since it con- tains a number of announcements for courses which were clipped from the University catalogue. Some of these courses are time-honored,l others are just peculiar, and others -well, Gargoyle will explain them today. Then there is an economic treat- ment of the question of "dates." Gargoyle's theory is that the success of a date depends ultimately on the amount of money that is spent. In accordance with this principle, an enterprisng economist has work- ed out a series of problems, deter- mined the variable factor and found out which "dates" should be avoid- ed. The conclusion which he reaches may prove rather startling. Another of the features of this issue of the Gargoyle is the en- larged Campus Talk section which? deals with several incidents which occurred during Orientation week. Some poetry, some cartoons by sev- eral members of the staff, and a large and carefully selected ex- and women students will be needed for the choruses and casts, and try-outs will be announced at an Searly date.

Last year, upon action of the board of directors of the Union, the Michigan Opera was discontinued after its 24th annual presentation because of financial losses. The pro- duction, which was presented by Mimes, was staged in Ann Arbor for a week, and then went on the road during Christmas vacation, visiting cities in Michigan and neighboring states. The first show was produced in 1908; Donald H. Haines, now a member of the journalism depart- ment, wrote the manuscript for it.
