AVERY TURNER RAN FIRST
TRAIN INTO NEW MEXICO


Absolutely the first human being to
enter New Mexico by rail. and the
man who first conducted a passenger
train into the territory. was in Ell
Paso this week.
His name is Avery Turner, and be
sides being the first man to do these
things. he now Is vice-president OF
two railroads, he Pecos & NORTH
Texas railway and the Southern Kan
sas Railway of Texas, and Is connect
ed with many smaller companies of
the southwest
Just how this modest man came to
be the first man to enter New Mexico
by rail is a story which a never
been written. 1t was told many
times In the day when railroads were
being born every bright morning, but
recent years have brought forgetful-
ness to the story. 1t Is a relic of the
old railroad days. wf1ysly different
from the days of tempo now.
The old railroad mans hair Is al
most gray today. but In his eye Is
seen the fire which made railroads
Yesterday and which for all that, Is
making railroads still. As Mr.. Turner
sat in one Of the private ears which
the Santa Fe officials to El
Paso ae told the story.

I68 BODIES
ARE FOUND

Cherry, Ills, Nov. 24.-One hun
bred and sixty-eight bodies were
found early today in the lower vein
of the st. Paul mine. There ramains
twenty-cne miners to be accounted
for.
The bodies found this morning
were In a tangled mass completely
blocking the staircase leading from
the third to the second vein and some
were also found along the vein show
ing they had dropped in al attempt
to reach the staircase. Blackdamp was
the cause of death.
All means of escape had been cut
of by the falling debris and the men

vainly for
Death did not come to many for
hours or perhaps days. Two rude ven
tilating fans were affixed to the shaft
wall and 10 the staircase. The men
had turned these by hand in a frantic
struggle for air and in a hopeless eff
fort to drive back the b~lackdanp. The
hands of miners were found firmly
gripped around the fans.
Pathetic messages of goodbye to
wives, children and sweethearts were
found scratched on pieces of slate
placed there by the men as death
slowly overlook them.
Fires are still raging in the tun-
nels and the walls are collapsilg and
he gravest hangers constantly con-
front the rescuing parties.
II is possible some of the bodies
will never be recovered.
Evidences mat the men had at

against the blackdamp were seen.
Many former workers in the mine
were furious When they discovered
the mea would have been safe a.

tilating fan of the mine been rel
ed shortly after the discovery OF the
fire.

WOMAN PARTY FORMED
AND PLATFORM ADOPTED.
Social Leaders Prominent at
First Convention.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The woman's
party is no longer a theory, but a
reality, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
is its chairman. 1t was born at the
first political convention of Disfran-
ehised Women last night in Carnegie
Hall. The whole tone of the rally,
under the auspices of the Interurban
Suffrage Council, was kept within con-
sentative limits as a tacit protest
against the Pankhurst meeting n the
militant methods involved.
1t is understood that so fixed was
the determination of Mrs. Clarence
Mackay, chairman of the platform
committee, to keep the demands rea-
sonable and dignified that she refused
to permit the insertion of two planks
which verged on sensationalism or
suggested partisanship. The platform
was drawn up by Kate II. Claghorn
and Helen Fl. Greeley, a lawyer.
The audience was one of the most
remarkable that has gathered together
since the women's fight began. One
thousand delegates, duly elected at AS
sembly district conventions, filled the
orchestra chairs.
The chairman and vice-chairmen
were: Mrs. Clarence Mackay, Mrs. Ed
gerton Winthrop, Mrs. Philip Lydig,
Mrs. Henry Miller. Mrs. Forbes Morgan,

Reports from several of the State so

MISTOOK ACTRESS FOR

Trip to Paris Caused False Mar
rage Story.

LONDON, Oct. 3o.-The misleading
announcement that "Mr. n Mrs.

what may be called a comedy of
courtesy.
1t appears hat Miss Edith Kelly.
who appeared as one of the octet In

q variety actress in New. York, was
going to Paris on a shopping expe-
dition. 1t appears, also, that Mi. Gould

Gould and Miss Kelly > were com
panions of travel across the channel.
Miss Kelly attended to her shopping,
and Mr.. Gould is at the Princess de

seems, is all there Is to the mistaken

LINERS LIFE-BELTS
FOUND AFTER STORM.
Not Believed That Kr0nprinzes-
sin Cecilie Is in Trouble.

PARIS. Oct. 30.-A report from Cher
bourg today says that life-belts from
the North German Lloyd steamer
Kronprinzessin Ceciiie, from Bremen
October rs. and C%herbourg and South
ampton October 81, have been found on
the coast of Normandy.
1t has been impossible to confirm the
report.
There has been a very severe storm
on the northern seaboard of rance
and much damage has been done. The
little port of Grandcamp has suffered
severely, and twenty-five fishing yes
sells belonging to the port have been
lost.
The sea swept over part OF the town,
destroying a number of houses. drown
ing cattle and sweeping away other
property.
Damage has also been done at st.
Malo, Granville and Cherbourg.
In shipping circles here today 1t is
not thought that the finding OF life
belts, even il the report be true. In
dicates that any disaster has occurred.
1t is possible that the belts were thrown
overheard because some seaman or
passenger was lost. or they might have
been washed away on some previous
voyage.
