NEW MARKET STREET BRIDGE IN DANGER OF CAVE TREMENDOUS HAVOC WHEN GAS EXPLODES AT ILL-FATED SHAFT Wilkes-Barre Man Who Built Lindbergh's Plane Poses With Flyer Who Flew It Across The Ocean Like a dormant volcano come to life, gases in Baltimore vein of No. 3 shaft of Woodward colliery of Glen Alden Coal Company, located in the rear of 109th Field Artillery Park on Westmoor flats, exploded this morning at 1:30, blowing the seal which had been placed over the openings several hundred feet in the air, wrecking the 60 feet hoisting shaft and creat¬ ing horror in all sections of Wyoming Valley. Hundreds of persons living in the West- moor section of Kingston and in various parts of the West Side and this city were thrown from their beds by the terrific concussion. Windows in several hundred homes on both sides of the river were blown out and central city office buildings were rocked to the foundations. The openings of the shaft had been closed by Glen Alden Coal Company early yesterday morning after all hope had be<m abandoned of reaching five entombed men and after it Avas decided that it was the only procedure open in the hope of conquering a raging fire which fol¬ lowed the terrific explosion at the shaft on Friday morn¬ ing. The fan house at the head of fhe shaft was demol¬ ished by the explosion on Friday morning. The blast early this morning disabled all telephonic communication in the Westmoor section and knocked down high tension wires together with ordinary elec¬ tric wires in sections of Westmoor. The detonation was heard in all communities of Wyoming Valley and as far north as Carbondale and as far south as Blooms- burg. Large plate glass windows of central city stores were smashed into atoms, practically every window in Wilkcs-Barrc Railway Corp. barn at Westmoor was de moiished and windows of cars standing in the barn and in the yard were broken. Although the opinion was expressed last night that the fire which started in the Baltimore vein follo\N ed the terrific explosion on Friday morning had extinguished itself due to the sealing of the openings and the preven¬ tion of fresh air from mixing with gases, officials of Clen Alden Coal Company always maintained their fear of further explosions with the sealing of the shaft. It had been planned to leave the seal stand for several days, providing it proved successful, before an effort would be made to enter No. 3 shaft from No. 1 shaft at Edwardsville and determine if it was possible to seal the fire from the other end of Baltimore vein. Several slight explosions were heard late Friday (Continued on Page IL Section Three) ¦H|H '^J^^^^^^K/F ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ • i '^^^BmM.

HelKlum, May 28 (I'.P. - Charles l*lndbercr, of Mis-sourl. was honored today tin few .\mericar.H have ever been Ivonored in Europcw After flylnpr from Paris to Brussels to receive the hichest honor RclRium could bestow, he became tho iptlmate of royalty and made the first chum h** has found so far abroad. The shy and reserved younjr Amer¬ ican, unspoiled by the honors that have been heaped on him because of hts manrnlflccnt achievement In flylns across the Atlantic, warmed spon¬ taneously to fhe Ilelffian royal family. Ho was received In the royal palace by King Albert and patted affection¬ ately on the shoulder while the Kin?. breakInK nil royal precedent, pinned on his coat the Order of Kins: Leopold, the highest honor Delslum can lie- atow. "You deserve more than this, but It is all I can give you," the King said, with sincere emotion. It was an important departure from court routine, as the King's aide de camp usually afTlxes decorations. The new Chavalier of the Order of Leopold warmed io the King then, but tt was nothing to the qui^k friendship he formed a few hours later »vith Prince I,eopoId at a dinner In his hon¬ or at the American Club. Prince Leopold nut on the right hAiid of the R-ucKt of honor and for the first time Lindbergh droppecj his re¬ serve and talked freely. They are the same age and soon it ^aa no question of royalty or democracy between them.
