The question of limiting immigra-

BOY EATS POLLYWOGS

Strange Diet Sends Lad in
AGONY to HoSpitaI

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2s.-Hovering
between life and death al the county
hospital is T. Himas, a Mexican boy, 8
years old, who yesterday dined mot
wisely but too well'' on pollywogs and
angleworms He was found in con-
vulsions some time after partaking of
his peculiar meal in the dry bed of
the Los Angeles river, not far from his
parents home.
At the hospital the physicians found
he was suffering from strangulation of
the bowels, and they have been able to
bring him but slight relief. A stomach
pump, however, revealed the cause of
the boys rare condition when it
brought up a large quantity of the
undigested food
The parents of the boy can not tell
why he tried this strange method of
circumventing the meat trust.

Wife Escapes, Husband Killed

MY husband, whete is he?" cried
Mrs. Pascoe. wife of the dead superin-
tendent of the Standard mine. when
rescuers pulled her out of mangled
mass of twisted iron bed rails under 40
feet of snow at Mace
Only a castiron bedpost which pro-
tected her saved her from instant death.
Her husband. who was sleeping along
side her, was battered almost beyond
recognition. Three children of the Pas
coe family lost their lives, but little
Katie was rescued by a toiling crew of
brawny miners after being wounded on
the head by piece of flying steel.
Many Slides Reported
Snowslides are reported from widely
separated points in the whole Occur
d'Alene district.
At Murray, % miles north of Wallace,
the Paragon mine, INJECTING damage to
the amount of $4,000. From the same
locality comes news of injury to the
Bear Top mine which will cost $4,000,
also caused by snowslides.
At Mullan, eight miles east of Wal
lace, the roof of the opera house col
lapsed with the weight of the snow
while the building was filed with peo-
pie All escaped injury, but the build
ing was damaged to the extent Of
S., 900.
The Spokane chamber of commerce
has offered to send help if it is needed.
The property loss, however, is COM
parativeIy small, most of the buildings
in the slides being small cottages, and
as the district is prosperous it is be-
lieved no outside help will be needed.
In a Wild Panic
When the alarm spread through the
mining camp that Mace had been al
most wiped out by a landslide, mothers,
wives and children of miners employed
at the Hecla, Hercules, Anchor and
care takers at the old Tiger Poorman
mine began to seek places of safety.
Wives and families of miners who had
responded to appeals from Mace were
unable to move and these may have
been buried in the snow
Because of the larger population of
Burke, about 900, the houses are closer
together.
Children hauled their mothers to the
sidehills, brothers literally dragged lit
tie sisters to places of safety and when
the slide struck, many of the homes
were deserted by fear stricken women
and children. while the bread provid-
ers were rescuing injured at the strick-
en- sister town.
Many Warnings Given
Old timers in the Occur dAlene dis
trict have been sounding daily warn
ings to Mace, Burke and Black Bear
that because of the record depth of the
snow slides were imminent For 16
u-infers these towns have eSca re.5 5ev

in the conviction that their homes and
families were safe no precaution had
been taken.
Thirty-five Italians, sleeping in an
outfit car on the Northern Pacific sid
ing, who were swept away with their
car in the bottom of the canyon, used
the tools in their car to dig themselves
out, and at o'clock this morning all
but one laborer had been accounted for.
Ice, Rock and Debris
WALLA WALLA, Feb. 2s.-A special
to the Union from Wallace, Idaho, to-
night says:
Under a mass of ice, rock and debris,
packed with almost the solidity of gran
lite, the little mining towns of Mace and
Burke, Idaho, lie buried tonight, tombs
for both the living and the dead.
Crushed and piled in inextricable
wreckage are the bodies of many of the
inhabitants of the little villages, is the
belief of the rescuers who are laboring
without rest that they may perhaps be
not too late.
Coming without the slightest warning
except for a thunderous roar momen-
sleeping residents of Mace the huge
avalanche swept down the precipitous
sides of the mountain and filled the mar
row canyon to depth of 10 feet. The
slide is approximately 5000 feet long
and save for a few places is packed as
solid as ice

time the slide occurred / was sleeping
in a small bunkroom just off the COM
presSor room. My son was on the
shift at the compressor. 1 was aroused
from sleep by my son running into the
bunkroom crying Papa, papa
The slide struck the building with
great force and we were buried under
a whirling mass of snow and timbers
My son was knocked upon the bed
and lay upon me- With the exception
of my right hand I was unable to move.
I worked this free and managed to
scrape away sufficient snow to give us
air

Cold Wind Blowing

Tonight a cold wind is sweeping the
canyon and impeding those who are
heroically working in the hope that a
few more lives may be saved. Those
who have journeyed from here to Mace
and Burke say that the dead will prob
ably never be exactly known, as the
huge slide can never be entirely re-
moved.
Thrilling in the extreme are the ac-
counts of some of those who were res
cued alive from the two slides.
Mrs. H. III. Pascoe, who was rescued
at Mace this morning badly injured, re-
lates her experiences as follows:
Il was sleeping soundly when our
house was struck by the slide. The roar
of the avalanche awakened me and 1
had just sat up in bed wondering what
the noise was when our house was
struck. / was thrown from the bed
across the room and the iron bed was
hurled on top of me. I remember moth
ing after that until rescued"
Pinned in Wreckage
Those who dug Mrs. Pascoe from the
ruins of her home found her securely
pinned down by the twisted frame of
the iron bed. Her life was probably
saved by this protection. Mrs. Pascoe
is the sole survivor of her family Of
four.
hnger sticking above the snow was
responsible for saving the life of Mrs
George Gibson, who was buried in the
slide at Mace. For more than an hour
the woman lay buried under the snow
only a finger protruding above the
ground. Rescuers stumbled over the
rough ground by the light of lanterns,
saw the finger and dug her out with
great difficulty. She was half smoth-
cred and almost frozen when rescued
Her condition is reported serious.
Situation at Mace
Tonight a survey of the situation at
Mace shows that IL dead bodies have
been recovered and that 81 persons are
injured as a result of the slide, while
others are believed to be buried under
the snow and debris.
OF the rescued Mrs. K. III. Pascoe and
Mrs Guest will probably die of their
injuries.
At Burke, Mr.. and Mrs. Al Newman
and James Rogers were among those
caught in the early morning avalanche
that overwhelmed Burke. They were
rescued, but are not expected to live
Rogers was fatally injured about the
chest He was buried eight hours be-
fore being rescued. The two Newman
children are also dead.
