ARREST SUSPECTS
 IN EXPLOSION CASE

Mexico City, October so.-The names of the three men who were arrested at Acapulco yesterday, suspected of being implicated in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building and who were aboard the power schooner Kate, are Harry Ham, O. Carlson and Dan Archer, according to telegrams received here to- day. The names given are as they are registered on the boats papers. In ad- dition the captain of the vessel Swan Engdethe, and the engineer. Adoph Adolphsen, also said to be the owner are still on board the vessel under guard of custom house officials.
 As soon as the schooner entered port to take on a supply of gasoline she was boarded by the American consul and a port official. The sum of $10,000 was found. The captain stated that he had been engaged at contract price of $75O by Adolphsen to take the schooner from San Francisco to the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Peru. and Ecuador.
 The register of the schooner states that Ham, Carlson and Archer were each to receive the sum of $2O month. Carlson Ham and Archer are now in prison at Acapulco. pending investigation. On ac- count of storm the men were forced to throw overheard the gasoline on hand and run into port for new supply.

Washington october sO.-lSpecial.)-A life-saving service for the rescue of miners i'll time of disaster is about to be inaugurated by the United States bu- reau of mines. Six specially cons -ructed cars fully manned by corps of miners ti ained in rescue work and ca dipped with the latest rescue apparatus ard first aid to the injured appliances, Twill within a few days be located In the midst of the great ooal districts in different parts Of the country. These cars will be ready at a rionent's notice to proce ,d 10 the scene of a disaster, where the rescue coIpr. in cooperation with the state nsin- ing officials, will do everything possible to scvt entombed miners.
 This is the first important step taken by the new bureau of mines in IFS ef- forts to reduce the appalling loss of life in American coal mines.
 During the year 1909 there were 2412 miners killed in the coal mines and 7s79 1t Is estimated that 5000 men were killed and 10000 were injured in 1909. For every 1000 men employed from three to five men are killed each year in the mines of the United States. Tn foreign coun- tries from one to two are killed in each 1000 employed. In those European coun- tries where the deaths are least per 1000 men employed. rescue apparatus has been in use for some time, and 1t is with the hope that European conditions can be approached that the rescue apparatus is being introduced here.
 The saving of human life will be the emergency feature of general campaign of educational work among the miners who will not only be taught the use of the rescue apparatus, but also the proper way to take care of an injured miner. There will also be lectures on many phases of the mining problem looking toward greater safety There will be little excuse for the miner not bene- fitting himself for the mine rescue cars will go to the miner in his own town or camp. Each car has been given a speci- fled territory, and 1t Is expected that every mining community of any import ance will be visited. A mining engineer and a surgeon of the American Red Cross will accompany each car and de- liver illustrated lectures on the use of explosives, electrical equipment, fire pre- vention, sanitation and first aid surgical treatment. These lectures will be given in the cars wherever a suitable meeting place can not be procured The cars will remain long enough at each place so that miners may go through the train ing in rescue work, which will be In charge of the foreman of the car, prac- tical miner. Every effort will be made to encourage the miners to form rescue corps at the mines where they are em- ployed, and to have the operators equip them with rescue apparatus.
 The cars will each contain eight so- called oxygen helmets, supply of oxy- gen in tanks, one dozen safety lamps, one field telephone with 20o0 feet of wire, re-
