A mysterious emissary, a member of Troop B, State polico, whoso Ident¬ ity was not revealed, last night ques¬ tioned two susiwcts who had'been ar¬ rested by BuftnJo. N.

^Vhils the  trooper Is remaining  In iJuffalo  awaiting further  Instructions nnd possibly additional Information In the attempt to connect tho men with the slaying; the man hunt for the per¬ petrators of tho most atroclou.i crime In the history of rcnosylvania Is being continued by   polico  of   Northeastern Pennsylvania.   Ono  of  tho  men  who was In the death car Is believed to be k   hiding In tho mountains east of Cork , I,ano section of Pittston Township or J* Is being shielded hy a friendly family in tho forelirn-sponklng settlements of Pittston City or Pittston Township.
The two meti -were arrested by Buf¬ falo police yesterday afternoon after they had received word from Captain William A. Clark of Troop B, State police, requesting such action. The men placpd under arrest described thomselves as Famuel Marranca, aged 38, of 654 Seventh street, Buffalo, and Aogelo Collura, aged 39. also of Buffalo.

Two Hundred Tanks Of Car¬ bon Dioxide Will Be Forced Into Burning Area
Two hundrpd tanks of cnrbon rtiox- Ide will bft rp'.pftspd In No. 3 shaft of  he Wcndwnrd collJory todr.y In n final cftorl to conqupr a mlno flre bxirnInK beneath Wr.-itnioor for the past ten dayn. IJpcause of the deadly nature of tho RUfl to bft \iNod, pxtremo care muBt b« taken by tho experts who will inject tho dioxide. Kim'lar precaution will ho required Inter on In rooponlnp tho mino ond It wan prcdlcled that a month will' elapso beforp conl pro¬ duction wtll be resumed at the Wood¬ ward.
Tho decision to use carbon dioxide aa a deterrent wna announced last night by Joseph J. Walsh, acting" chief of tho State mlninK* department. He explained thnt the contents of two hundred.'! tnnk."i will be piped do^vn No. 3 ehaft starting at noon today. Being nn inert pas nnd not combust¬ ible, tho fumeg will seir© to smother tho flro burning In the region where the bodies of five m'nera are HtlU Im¬ prisoned. Because the carbon diox¬ ide wlil not support combuatlon. the flames will die down. Although a com¬ plete survey of the underground con¬ ditions haa been impoaslble, mining ex¬ perts agree that llio flre area Ip not large enough to endanger tho rest of the Woodward colliery Tho coal con- nuraed by tho flro wiil represent only a Bmall part of the complete coal de¬ posits of tho colllory. it wna said. Montli of Idlennis Chief Walsh Intlmnted Ihnt at least a Tnonlh must r^.'^a before the Wood¬ ward will be working again. This is becauso of the danger of tho flre breaking out again, tbe quant My of debris that must be rleared away and tho danger from gas. Caution^ muj^t be u."ed in clearing tho tunnels of the carbon dioxide after tho flre Is ex¬ tinguished, he .said. Ono breath of car¬ bon dioxide -will cause death although it Is not an explosive gas. Tn clearing the jnlne of It. experts will be forced to enter tho shaft only a whoit dis¬ tance at a time, wearing helmets. They will build an air lock near the en¬ trance and then clear that area of all poisonous vapors. A short distance further on another air lock ^rlll bo erected and tho Intervening space thoroughly aired. The same proee.ss will be followed until the entire un¬ derground area is freed of the poison. At all times the workers will be com- polled to wear nir-lightOielmets. Scar^ niven Motorists A small .scare was furnished yester¬ day afternoon to half a hundred men j who had pnrkrd automobiles near the! Woodward mine while they waited for' a baseball gamo In Artillery park. II waa discovered by mine officials that the barometer at the shaft had drop- i ped. Indicating that the nlr in the' burning mine wns expanding rapidly. Believing that another explosion was possible although not probalWe, warn¬ ing was given the baseball fans to re¬ move their machines from the zone liombardcd In last Saturday nicht's explosion. The danger passed, how¬ ever,   without  any blow-up.

DYNAMITE ENDS FIRE COSTING TWO MILLION
Montgomery, Ala., June 4.—Firemen tonight succeeded In halting with dynamite tho mo.nt devastating flre erer to occur In this city after it had caused damage estimated at $2,000,000.
The flre, which started about 1 p. m. fn R trasli heap at tho end of the wholesale dl.«trict. swept through the entire district, aided by a half gale that caused It to leap from building to building.
By planting dynamite In the Rabel drug store on Keo street and com¬ pletely demolishing the structure, the flre fighters were able to prevent the flame^s from reaching the r^ay league hotel, one of tho city's largfst build- Inpi. and also from reaching powder stored in the basement of l^jp I,,oeb Hardware (Company. There was suf- flclent powder an'l high explosives in the han'ware store tr blow up all of i^Ion'.gomery,  police snid.
Fire Chief R. H. Nixon was over¬ come by heat early in the battle and ^ixa takea to a hospital. Fireman H. Kimbroui.*!!    aud   J.    T.    Whilo    were
badly cut by flying gl|-s.s and were taken to hospitals. A niffnber of other nremen and those citizens recruited to aid them were Icsk .teriousiy hurt when cut by glass.
Flre equipment and expert firemen from Birmingham, Setma. Mobile, Ureenvllle, Oolumbu-s, Opelika and Trop were ru.shod to the aid of Montgomery firemen  by .special trainif,
A short time later dynamite waa reported to and this, with the aid of a suddenly changed and more favorable wind, prevented the fire from spread¬ ing to the down tonn buatness cen¬ ter.
More than a score of outomobiles were buried under a mas-s of dcbria along Commerce street, ctiught under falling walls before they could be re¬ moved.
The flre leaped from building to building on both .sides of Commerce street, cut over to Bibb street, then to Coosa avenue.

New Vnrk, Juno 4.—LT—Another American airplane, following the pio¬ neer path of Charles Undbergh. waa fighting its wny over the dark waters of the Atlantic toniglit, intent on sur- pn.ssing his achievement of flying from New York to rnri.s.
Th(* monoplane Columbia, which started from Itooscvclt Field, N. V., at 6:05 a. m. today, eastern daylight time, left the North American con¬ tinent about 11! hours later. pa.-«sing from tho snutbern tip of Now Found- land over the Atlantic.
From that time, unle.ss It Is sighted, and rpportcd by a alilp at sea, tho Columbia, with its two pa.*(sengers, will be cut off from thoae at home until it passe.s over the^ ocean.
The Columbia carried the strangest crew that ever took up the gauge of America's supremacy on land or nlr. One was a .skilled pilot, used to thrill and danger, to wliom It was natural to accei)t a challenge such na I>ind- liergh's. He wa.n Clarence I). Cham- bcrlin, pilot of note, who guided the Bellancu less than two months ago over I>ong I.sland when it set the world endurance record of 51 hour.s su.stalned flight.
The other was a type much more common in America—a businessman, rich and comfortable, whoso life had not been productive of thrlllM and who had hilherto found Iiis greate.st ex¬ citement in putting through deals tliat meant risking dollars to Kuin a groat many more. He wa.s Charles ^. I-,e- vine. merchant and patron of ftports, who spoopored the flifiht with his money and insisted at the last mo¬ ment on taking part in it.
Seen At Trep«ss*y
They left tho l.ong Islaml field shortly after daybreak, flew to the northeast along the coa.st lino und ut 6:20 p. m. ea-stern daylight time, pas.srd Trepa.ssey, N. F.. headed awuy from the .setting sun. with some point in Kurope their destination. It might l>e Berlin, Rome or Mo.scow—Cham- l>crlin refused to say, except that, af¬ ter he bad parsed J*aris und btaten l^indbergh s record, he would fly as long as his gasoline held out.
The Columhla p:u;.sed Trepas.'^ey at 6:30 p. m. eastern daylight time (8 o'clock Ndw F'oundland time), and ap¬ parently was hearling eaately to avoid threatening storms to the north which would carry It south of the "great L'ircie" route followed by Undbergh. No further word wa.s expecteil to be heard from the Columbia from land.
Chamberiin's announced objective was to fly over l»aria and keep going Into Kurope as far as tho 44S gallons of ga.soiine aiward the jdane would carry it and beat the record of Und- bergh's flight. He thought ho might land in Berlin, perhaps In Rome, or tn Moscow. #
The flight was started under unu.sual and dramatic circum.'^tance.s and. If it succeeds. It will be ono of the mont amuzing achievements ever put into the reconl of aviation. Never before has a pilot started on .such a ha^anlou-s and difficult trip with his companion a novice who could be expected to fur¬ nish little real help Jn an emergency. .Surprise at Start
The crowd that witne.s.sod the start at Roosevelt Field was staggered when. Just a few -minutes before the take off, I-,evin» darted out in civilian clothes and took his seat beside Chainl>erlin. The identity of thi re¬ lief pilot had been kept a close secret and it was a.ssumed some well known aviator, skilled in navigation, would appear.
Instead the wealthy little man, who started his fortune in the Junk busl- nes.s. started off caaually on the dsn-
gerous   V'-  -       I

The choice of several possible dostinations for the Wriifht-Ballanctt airplane Columbia in its trans-Atlantic flight begun ycslordEy remained a mystery to oven the closest friends of C'.arence Chamber!in and Charles l/evin?.
The pilot of the Columbia comos from Denniston, Iowa, and ia thirty-two years old. He studied eloctrira'. engineer¬ ing and was in the air service during the World War. He is one of the tinest test pilot.s in the world.
