Men Were Not at Work in the Mine
and Death List Was Only
Five as Result Of
the Fire.
FIVE BODIES RECOVERED
Only Eleven Men Were at Work and
Half Of Them Managed to
Escape From the Dead
ly Smoke.

W1LKESBARRE, Pa, May 12--Five
miners lost their lives by suffocation
in the Boston mine of the Delaware
and HUDSON company at Larksville,
near here.
A strike began at the colliery on
Tuesday and consequently only a
small number of men were at work
Had the full force been engaged the
loss of life would have been appalling.
Fire broke out in a section of the
mine where rock miners were en-
ployed, but it is said to have been
gotten under control without difficulty.
After midnight the odor of smoke
was detected and another alarm was
sounded. Eleven men were at work III
the section. All made their way from
side vein to the main gangway, but
the smoke had become so dense that
nearly all were overcome.
Rescue parties, at the risk of their
lives, then entered the workings and
brought them out. The rescuers, re-
turning to the gangway, stumbled
over the bodies of the dead, which
were brought out as quickly as pos
sible. Several of the rescuers were
overcome by the smoke and one OF
them was prostrated. He was res
cued by another party

worked its way down the woodwork
sending the smoke into the various
chambers. The men were trapped II
one of the inner gangways and the
flames and smoke drove them for

cut off.
John A. Jones, the day foreman O
the colliery, was the first to entel

first to discover the fire. and one
workman went to the rescue of Feed

DIAZ HAD AN
INDIAN MOTHER
Probably One Reason Why He Cannot
Be Depended On BY His
People.

MEXICO CITY, May 12,-Diaz was
born September Is, 1880, on the an
niyersary of Mexican independence.
oaxaea was his birth place. His
father was a Spaniard, and his mother
was of Indian extraction. His mother
at first intended that he should enter
the church, but finally yielded to his
desires, SO that he pursued the stud
les then required for lawyers
career.
Diaz was regularly elected presi-
dent Of Mexico for the first time in
1877. He was succeeded at the end
of his term by General Manuel Con
zales. His crowning achievement in
the Gonzales administration was the
abrogation of the law against presi-
Dental reelection, and in 1874 he was
elected president for the second time.
There has been no other president in
Mexico since then. Until last summer
the opposition to him never attained
serious proportions He was elected
president for the eighth time June u,
1910.
Francisco |. Madero, member Of one
of Mexico's wealthiest families was
candidate for the presidency against
Diaz, the principal plank of his plat
form being anti-re-election. In No
yember, 1910, Nadero was convicted
of melting the people to rebellion and
put in jail.
He escaped into Texas and called
upon his followers to join in gen
eral revolt on November 20. Already
there has been scattered disturbances
throughout the republic, but the in
surrection took it's first definite form
on this date. Maderoists issued q
manifesto in which they said the re
cent election had been inforced at the
point of the bayonette, charged Das
with responsibility for the uprising, ant
declared his election null and void
The principle of non-re- election was
said to be the supreme law of the re
public, and Diaz was declared {
usurper.
