INAUGURATION
PREPARATIONS
The Executive Committee
Decides to Hold Ball
at Armory
RECEPTION IN OLD PALACE
Membership of Most of Commit.
tees Completed Yesterday
Afternoon.

The inaugural ball will be held in
the National Guard Armory. That was
the decision yesterday afternoon at
meeting of the executive committee
with the chairmen and vice-chairmen
OF the sub-committees. The real de-
cision, however, was first made by the
ladies who had looked over the Palace
of the Governors and voted that it
was suited for the purposes Of not
only the public reception but also as
a place in which to serve the refresh
ments.
Ode Written for Occasion.
Father Julius Hartman submitted
the words and music of an ode which
he had written and composed for the
inauguration. 1t was adopted and will
be sung by chorus of forty-eight, to
be costumed and grouped as living
flag. The words are dignified and
breathe an intense patriotism and the
music is majestic and inspiring. The
words and music are being printed by
a Cincinnati publishing house.
Arrangements Well Under Way.
The arrangements to make the in
auguration the grandest social event
in the history of New Mexico are
well under way and the committees
are working like beavers on the de.
tails entrusted to them. 1t is rractic-
ally only three weeks to New Year
and it will require considerable of a
rush to complete every preliminary for
the events that will crowd the day
from 10 in the morning, when the for
NAL program is to begin, until late
at night when the ball will end in q
blaze of glory. Decorations, illum!-
nation and every attendant circum-
stance is being planned with great
thoroughness. The appointment OF
al. committees except the reception
committee was completed and the
outlines of the program were filled in
yesterday afternoon. The sum of
$4,000 has been set aside to meet ex-
penses. A thousand invitations have
ritory and although the Armory will
admit twice the number of persons
that were at the last inaugural ball,
yet there will be such a rush for tick.

number of letters received by Secre-
tary of the Interior Fisher.
Fisher Is Willing.
"The general idea of having large
park at or near the place proposed,
appeals to me personally said Sec
retary Fisher today, "but before such
action is taken, it would be necessary
to have an examination made of the
territory. Therefore it would be
necessary to submit the matter TO
Congress as the Department has no
available money even for the slr-
vey."
The park as proposed would in
clude an area of about 100000 acres.
about the same area as the Pecos
Forest Portions of Grand, Jackson,
Larimer, and Boulder counties would
be included, just as the Pecos Forest
takes in portions of Santa Fe, San
Miguel, Mora, Taos and Rio Arriba
counties. The park would take in
Longs Peak, Grand Lake and the
canyons of the Big Thompson River,
Just as the Pecos Forest takes in the

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican3
Washington, D. c., Dec. "a con-
ference of about twenty-five members
of the Republican National Commit
tee will be held here Monday night
to protest against the old threat to

National Committeeman Cecil Lyon
of Texas, who called the meeting,
will present resolution calling on
the National Committee to forbid
election of federal Office holders as
delegates.
The fight to keep federal officers
oat of the National Convention prom
ises to make the meeting of the Ma
tion Committee next Tuesday one OF
the livliest in recent years.
Much of the protest against the
large Southern delegation has been
based on the fact that federal office
holders have predominated and have
been Swung into line" to support
existing administrations.
Colonel Lyon hopes that by keep
ing the Office holders off the delega
tions, the representation Of the south
states will not be impaired.
Another move to be made by Colo
mel Lyon and his associates will be
to nullify the selection Of any dele
gates made prior to the call Of th<
convention by the National Commit
] tie. This action was suggested BY
the election of Taft delegates fro1
Alabama several months ago at {
meeting called. by the Postmaster O

The threat to reduce the southern
delegations has been resurrected b,
Senator Bourne Of Oregon.

NO PE0NAGE
IN COLORADO
Russians and Italians Work
Sixteen Hours In Beet
Fields
OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL
Thus Earn Money to Buy Their
Own Farm and Be
Independent.

(By Special Leased wire to New MexIcanl
Washington, D. c., Dec. 9.-In q
statement made public today, former
Governor Henry A. Buchtel of Colo
rado, vigorously denied that condi-
tions approaching peonage existed in
the sugar beet fields of Colorado.
The statement referred to the tes-
timony of James Bodkin of Colorado
before the House sugar investigation
committee that men and women in the
beet fields worked sixteen hours q
day at back-breaking labor. Govern.
or Buchtel explained that these men
and women were Russians or Italians
who worked by the Job, not by the day,
"By the aid of his wife and children
these men will make more money In
one month in Colorado than he coulo
make in two years in Russia or Italy, :
said the former governor.
Usually that man will own his own
farm at the end of two years. He
and his wife will each earn about 81
a day in the beet fields and each o1
his children will earn about 50 a day
This crime Of giving the poor la
borers of other countries a cnanc<
to own a farm by the labor of approx
imately two years, is an old crime
IN this country. The founders of the
republic talked much about the crime
of making here in these United
States an asylum for the oppressed
OF every land. am proud to be abl<
to say from personal knowledge O
the people In every part Of Colorado
that Industrious and purposeful work
ing men have now in Colorado a.
fine opportunities to get on ip th,
world as they have ever had at AM
time in other states in the Union.'

fR|GHIFUL COAL
NINE DISASTER
Two Hundred Men Entombed
by Dust Explosion In
Tennessee
FLAMES BELCH FROM PIT
Indescribable Scenes Of Horror
as Relatives Gather Around
Workings.

BY Special Leased Wire TO New Mexican
i Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 9.-A dust
explosion in the main mine OF the
Cross Mountain System near Brice-
Vile today entombed large number
of workers who had just entered for
the days toll. The mine is usually
manned by 200 miners.
! The mine is owned and operated by
the Knoxville Iron Company and IS
about So miles from Knoxville.
Throngs Of Women and Children.
Throngs of women and children
irushed to the mine entrances and
clamored to be allowed to make their
way inside to aid in the rescue. Many
OF the women knew their husbands
had entered the mine before the blast.
| Most of these wives, however, main
tanned brave hearts. The majority OF
them had witnessed almost similar
scenes. One woman who gathered
others about her, attempted to cheer
her weering sisters.
i "Now, l know my old man aint
dead" she asserted. It'll take more
than a dust explosion to kill him."
Flames Belch From Mine.
i Rescue work was checked before IL
o'clock. Great billows of flame began
to belch from the mouth of the mine.
Rescue parties were hurled back by
the flames. Hope for the imprisoned
miners yielded to despair
| Rescuers Driven Back.
Members of rescue squads who were
driven back by flames and smoke
! declared they had advanced mile
into the main shaft before they were
forced to retire and that they had
found no signs of the imprisoned men,
Just before being driven out they
encountered cave-in at each of the
entries. 1t was of such character
as almost positively to confirm the
early theory that dust" had caused
the explosion.
Three Escaped.
! OF all the men who went into the
mine, three have escaped. They were
John Lang, Sam Farmer, and Bert
Hatmaker. They were in one Of the
lateral shafts. Warned by the noise,
they escaped before overtaken by
flames. 80
| Large Number Entombed.
! These men observed bad "signs" as
they entered the mine. They believe
the exact location of the blast is at
least two miles in the interior and 500
feet from the mountain crest. The
number of men entombed is now vari.
ously estimated at 125 to z68.
Because of the cave-in and the
smoke and flames, it is impossible for
volunteer rescuers to proceed into the
mine
Wait for Rescuing Apparatus.
| They must await the coming of the
federal rescuing apparatus.
President Stephenson said the cas-.
ualties would not be as large as al
first reported from Briceville. He
said the mine is usually manned by
about 200 workers but many were
late in reporting for work today.
| Early reports from the explosion
scene were vague. The first intima.
tion of the explosion was slight con.
cussion at the shaft, then smoke curl.
ed out from the opening.
cave-ins Bar the Way.
| Knoxville, Dec. 9.-Up to 2:3O
O'Clock this afternoon squads of res
cuers had made no effective progress
in their efforts to reach the entombed
miners. Cave-ins barred the way to
the point where it Is hoped the hun.
dred or more men are still alive.
