MEXICAN MINE EXPLOSION
DEATH LIST NUMBERS II
SearCherS for Bodies Overcome
by Poisonous Gases

MONTEREY, Mexico, Oct. --latest
news from the coal mine at Palau,
where an explosion occurred Friday
night, indicates that the loss of life
win probably be seventy-two miners,
mostly Mexicans and japanese. Owing
to the presence of poisonous gases only
two bodies have thus far been re-
covered.
The explosion destroyed all timbers
from the sixth stope to the surface. 1t
blew out the mouth of the stope, lift
ing twenty feet of surface and closing
the mine The explosion is thought to
have been caused by the use of or
binary dynamite smuggled in by the
men and used instead of the safety
powder provided by the company.
The first rescue party was overcome
and a second party going to its relief
also was overcome. All were rescued.
There is almost no possibility of the
miners being found alive, as it will be
forty-eight hours more before the point
where the miners were working can be
reached.

SPECIAL SESSION
WILL BEGIN TODAY
Senators and ASSembIymen Meet
at Sacramento to Discuss
Needed Amendments

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 2.-Senators
and assemblymen arrived today for
the special session of the legislature
called for tomorrow, but doubt was
expressed tonight by Sergeant at Arms
Stafford of the house and by others
whether there would be a quorum
when the gavels fell in the two cham
bers at noon. In that case it will be
necessary to issue orders for the ar
rest Of the absent members.
Lieutenant Governor Porter is here.
Speaker Stanton will arrive tomorrow
morning with the bulk of the Los An
geles delegation. There was
sprinkling of senators and assembly
men in the corridors of the hotels to-
night, but the number was few.
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS
Among the senators present the
opinion has been advanced that the
special session has no power to amend
the constitutional amendment sub
mitted at the regular. session. This is
held to be the law by at least three
senators, Price, Boynton and Cami-
netti. They are emphatic in their
statement to this effect.
1t was their conviction that the
only way out of the difficulty is to
submit another constitutional amend
ment and let the two go to the peo-
pie with the understanding that the
original one ought to be defeated
This would create confusion, of course,
but they believe it the only thing to
be done.
On the other hand, Senator Curtin.
father of the amendment, was just as
emphatic in the opinion that the spe-
cial session had power to rescind the
resolution by which the original
amendment was submitted and to sub
nit another.
"The legislature has power to do that
which is expressed in the CALI he said.
SECTION PHRASE DEFECTIVE
The session is called for the pur-
pose of inserting into senate constitu-
tional amendment No. 1 three words,
which will set the time when gross
taxes and gross earnings are to be
computed. AS it now stands it sim
ply means one day, December 81, while
the intent of the commission drafting
the measure was to have it include the
entire year. Leaving out the words,
''the year ending" changed the entire
meaning of the section and it is to
insert these three words that the ses
sion is called.
There is some gossip among the
members on the ground over the con-
test for the speakership of the next
house. Already four candidates have
appeared. They are Hewitt of Yuba;
Rutherford of Nevada; c. c. Young Of
Berkeley, and Milton Schmitt of San
Francisco OF these the three first
named are Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers.

SAN BERNARDINO. Oct "A new squab-
Bile has broken out in the ranks of the Re-
publican party to who shall have charge
of the campaign tour of Hiram johnson in

committee has placed the plans for the visit
in the hands of Lyman King, chairman of
the county central committee and a decided
regular" and DR. w F. Burke, president of
the county Johnson Wallace club. The action
of the state central committee has brought
forth howls Of protest from the Lincoln
Rooseveters of the county, who insist that
johnson be placed in their hands entirely.
The original squabble between the city
Johnson Wallace club and the county club
regarding who shall have charge of his visit in
san Bernardino has grown so bitter that there
are possibilities that Johnson may be taken
bodily by one or the other. The city club
claims the right to arrange for his visit here
on Tuesday, while the county club has ap-
pointed a committee for that purpose.

Continued from Page One,

They were looking for news of rela-
tives and friends who had shore leave
and should have reported back on the
New Hampshire yesterday evening.
The midshipmen on the landing float
were courteous in answering questions,
but when it came to the point of Civ
ing news they referred every one to
the officer of the deck on board the
battleship.
On board the flagship Louisiana
Rear Admiral Vreeland convened a
court of inquiry to determine the ex-
act cause of the accident and place
the responsibility. A number of the
men who were on booard the Inflated
boat told their stories A report of the
findings of the court will be forwarded
to the navy department. Whether
Mdshipman Chevalier, who was in
charge of the boat, testified was not
learned. Neither could 1t be aseer-
tanned whether Chevalier was in the
ships hospital, where he was taken in
a delirious condition after the acct
dent.
TIDE WAS HEAVY
Various versions of how the accident
occurred were in circulation today. The
generally accepted one, however, was
that the barge, heavily loaded with
sailors and marines, returning from
shore leave, was towed into the heavy
swells of a passing steamer. Rising
for a moment like cork, the barge
then plunged into the trough, then two
waves, one of which broke over the
side and swamped it, hit the boat.
Instantly the choppy water became
dotted with struggling, shouting men,
intermingled with floating packages,
suit cases and personal belongings. The
whistle of the little steam launch that
was towing the barge rent the air with
sharp, staccato calls for assistance.
Few boats were in the vicinity, how
ever for the river was running high
with white caps, kicked up by the
strong wind. What few there were put
quickly across the two hundred yards
that separated the distressed craft and
the shore. Man of the sailors and
marines were pulled aboard these boats,
others held tightly to the swamped
barge, still others. unequal to the bat
tie with the heavy waves and tide,
f1oated upstream and disappeared.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.-Placards
were pasted on the dead walls in
Chinatown today, announcing the end
of the war between the Hop Sing and
Suey Sing tongs, which began several
weeks ago with the shooting of Yee

A truce was signed fifteen days ago
on account of the visit of Prince Tsai

in the agreement of the Suey Sings
to pay $4Oo indemnity in the Yee Nee

November
TRIAL FOR GOMEZ REGIME
Conservatives viii Make Deter
mined Effort to Win Island
Contests in 1912
TRIAL FOR GOMEZ REGIME
rAssociated Press1

HAVANA, Oct with the ap-
proach of the elections on November
1, the second held by the Cuban gov
ernment without American super
vision, there has been perceptible a
growing hope that what remains of the
campaign and the electoral struggle
itself may be passed without serious
disorders.
The first Cuban election, that of 1904
at which President Estrada Palma
was elected for a second term, was
concededly carried by fraud. This fact
led directly to the revolution Of Aug
ust, 1906. the overthrow of the Palma
administration, an the second Amer
lean intervention, which continued un-
der the governor generalshlp OF
Charles z. MagOOn until General
Gomez, who had been elected president
in 1908, under the direct supervision Of
Colonel Crowder and other American
officers of Governor Magoon's cabinet,
was inaugurated January 8, 1908. That
election was conducted without hltch
and without fraud.
ANXIETY OVER ELECTIONS
1t now remains to be seen whether
the administration of President Gomez
is competent to guarantee the people
of Cuba unimpeaChable elections
One thing that seems to make for
peace is the apparent determination of
the Conservatives not to attempt to
put out their full strength at bye
election at which only half the MEM
bers of the lower house and municipal
officers are chosen, but to make de-
termined fight for victory at the pres
idential elections to be held in 1912.
Most of the candidates for the vari-
Gus offices have now been nominated,
and in Havana alone there are no less
than five parties in the field These
are the Liberal party (zayaists), the
Historic Liberal party (Miguelists),
the Independent Liberal party (headed
by General Nunez), the Workingmen's
party and the party of Young Cuba.
NATIVES WEARY OF WORK
A report recently issued by General
Armando Rivas, chief of police of Ha-
vana, shows a deplorable condition in
the capital General Rivas says he
finds an increasing and most alarming
indisposition to perform any useful
labor, which results largely from the
prevailing passion for Office hunting.
Office seekers, the general says, throng
the entrances of all government de-
partments Fostering the chiefs for
appointments of any kind.

MAYORS SHOULD BE cENsoRs
Otis Skinner Advises Closing I'm
moral and Indecent Plays.

Il was greatly surprised and also
greatly pleased to read in the news
papers that the mayors of two of
our greatest cities, New York and
Chicago. were taking action to stop
the presentation of filthy plays There
are some managers who are ready To
present anything just to, get the mon
ey." says Otis Skinner in the Phila-
delphia Times
There is too much filth for filth's
sake. and | am glad that something
is being done to stop it. 1t may
sometimes be necessary to mention
unpleasant subjects to bring out a
point. Some of the Elizabethan dra-
ma is very coarse, and Shakespeare
himself was not afraid to call a
spade spade. But some people like
to tell a bad story or present a bad
play just because it is bad, and the
worse it is the funnier they think
it is
Il think the action of these two
mayors will have a wholesome effect
1t is not true that we have these
salacious plays just because the peo-
pie demand them. Because we have
these bad plays some people so to
them, but that is not the reason why
the authorities should not step in and
stop them. When managers cease to
take immediate hold of that which is
coarse and vile in the hope of in
creasing the receipts at the box Of
flee. ii will be found that the audi
ence will be just as much pleased
much better in fact.
But there has been a lowering in
the moral tone of the stage during
the last few years and it is time
that something was done to awaken
the people. 1t was only few years
ago that such plays as 'Sapho' were
closed in New York-plays which to-
day are regarded as comparatively
moral. ! do not mean that the morals
of the people are lower or even that
the tone of the stage on the average
is lower But we are going at a
faster pace than we were dozen
years ago, and we have been too
busy to prevent some of these things
from creeping in

RICE ON ELET.

Omelets can be made of almost
anything When preparing your
breakfast look carefully over your
left-overs. If you have a small dish
of mashed potatoes, grits, wheat. oat-
meal, rice. ham that can be minced.
or anything of that kind. you can
give your family a new dish and a
really good one. The addition of rice
or other ingredient makes the use Of
fewer eggs possible. One egg for
each person will be sufficient. Beat
the eggs well. add half a cup of
cream or milk, beat in a cup of rice
and pour the whole into a skillet con-
tanning butter or bacon drippings
With a spoon scrape the omelet as it
cooks from the sides and bottom of
the skillet. When the egg is ven set

serve bacon with the omelet. lay the

AN OPEN EYE AND MIND.

There isn't a human being that
hasn't something to give us if we
allow him TO. 1t is not the part Of
wisdom for a housewife to feel that
she knows all there is to learn about
her business. Especially is this true
in housekeeping. Housekeeping is a
growing science; it is changing every
day and the humblest woman may
have worked out in her particular
corner some scheme or idea that
saves time. energy or nerves by
which the brightest woman will be
glad to profit. Watch how others
do things and listen when others
speak; try and accept the helpful
suggestions and reject those you can
not use. Do not make up your mind
that you are a good housekeeper and
that you have nothing more to learn.
but when you are at work in your
home constantly seek to work out
better and quicker ways of accom-
plishing the many things necessary
for keeping yourself and those in
your care comfortable, happy and
capable.
