Eight Bodies Yet Remain in
the Mine and Rescue
Goes On
BODIES RECOVERED WERE
MAMGLED BEYOND RECOGNITION
Victims We're Reached by Cutting
Through From Another Mine Own.
cd by Same Company-State Has
Started an Investigation.

Elk Garden, w. Va. April 25-Fif-
teen bodies have been taken out of
the OFT mine Of the Davis Coal COM
pany at 10 o'clock today, victims Of
the disasterous explosion yesterday.
Eight other bodies are supposed to bs
in the mine, which the rescuers are
trying to recover. The fifteen bodies
recovered were found about one mile
from the entrance. The bodies are
charred and SO badly mangled that
Identification will be difficult. This
morning John Laine, chief of the
West Virginia department of mines,
started an investigation of the cause
of the accident.
1t cannot be learned yet whether
the explosion was caused by dust or
gas. Officials of the company say
to be gaseous.
AS soon as the accident became
known Superintendent Robert Grant
organized rescue corps of the min
ers off duty.
The rescue party had not advanced
far into the workings before they dis
covered it would take several days to
dig through the heaps of roof coal
and slate that had been loosened by
the explosion. 1t was then decided
to effect an entrance nearer the
probable point of the explosion by
cutting through the wall Of an ad-
Joining mine owned by the same COM
pany. Late yesterday afternoon the
rescuers had penetrated to the No. 2
mine at point about 1000 feet from
the outside entry. There still re-
manned an equal distance to go be-
fore reaching the buried miners.
The OFT mine No. 2 is almost direct
ly under the town of Elk Garden
which is on a, hill The mouth of the
mine is about half mile from the
town.
In striking contrast to the usual
mine explosions, the victims in this
case with one exception, are Ameri-
cans.

declared that in putting hides on the
free list the Republicans had put
benefits into the pockets of the boot
and shoe manufacturers.
The Senate Middle.
The seven representatives of the
regular Republicans will present a
complete schedule, while the four
progressive Republicans will present
the names of members of their group
for one-fourth of the Republican
committee places. There has been no
comparison of lists and therefore no
agreement as to individuals.
The regulars have undertaken to
five per .cent of the assignments but
they have failed to do this in the
committee on finance. After long
struggle they have decided that the
regulars should retain control of this
most important committee and will
therefore place only the name Of
Senator La Toilette of the progress
sive wing on this committee. The
progressives have steadily contended
for two representatives and they will
present the names of Senators La
Toilette and Cummins.
Unquestionably the failure of the
regulars to give the Iowa senator a
place on the finance committee will
lead to sharp discussion and the con-
troversy may ultimately be taken into
the senate in the hope that the Demo-
Gratis might come to the assistance of
the progressives in carrying out their
program. The regulars are quite
n 60ta o1 int
probably will vote it through, be-
cause they claim that the dominant
party should have control of COM
mittee dealing SO generally with
partisan questions.
AS reorganized the committee will
consist of eight Republicans and six
Democrats. To give the progress
sives two members would be to turn
over the control of the committee to
a combination of Democrats and pro-
gressives in case, combination
should be made. The decision to
cut Senator Cummins out will leave
three Republican vacancies to be
filled with regulars. One of these
places will go to Senator Gallinger
of New Hampshire and the other two
to western Republicans of the regu-
lar persuasion, whose names have
not been divulged.
The Democrats have decided to fill
the three Democratic vacancies on
the finance committee by the appoint
ment of Senators Williams of Mis-
sissippi. Johnson of Maine and Kern
of Indiana. These selections will re-
suit in giving the radical Democrats
a majority of the Democratic repre-
sentation on the committee.
1t has been expected that Senator
Kenyon, the new senator from Iowa,
would align himself with the pro-
gressives in their fight for committee
representation, but he said today that
he would take no part in the contest
over committees. His decision to
this effect was induced by his late
arrival. He however, counts himself
a progressive in the. matter of legis-
lation and probably will be found
voting with that wing of the party on
most measures,

PEACE MAKING IS
SLOWER THAN WAR
Both Sides Are Waiting For
the Naming of Peace
Commissioners

Ell Paso, April 25.-1nterest in the
peace situation at Gen. Madero's
camp today was centered in the hope
that word would come from the Mexi-
can government of the appointment
of it's commissioners for the confer
ence at which it seems almost certain
the terms of peace in Mexico will be
agreed upon. The insurrecto COM
mander, it is understood, is ready to
announce his appointees as soon as
the government representatives are
named.
While the members of the AIadero
family have not expressed themselves
publicly, it is generally understood
they regard Ell Paso as the most con-
venient meeting place for the peace
commissioners. The peace negotia-
tions, it is expected, will consume at
least fortnight.
A special from Nogales, Ariz., says
battle was fought Sunday at Ca
borossa, Sonora. in the Alter district
in which the federals were compelled
to retreat to Alter. The federals were
outnumbered. The federals. led by
Francisco Velascos lost five men,
three Americans and two Papago In
dians. The insurrectos lost three
men killed.

brushed aside. leaving the entire
tract open to disposition by con
gress.
In brief, the question raised by the
Southern Pacific was whether con-
gress had the power to make a sub
sequent act precedent to the rights
conferred In an original grant.
The suit was instituted in 1908 by
Attorney General Bonapart following
a memorial from the Oregon legisla-
ture to congress that the Southern
Pacific company, successor to the
Oregon and California Railway COM
pany, had forfeited its rights OF a
grant of land in Oregon and Wash
ington. The company was said to
have refused to sell, the land as pro-
vided in the grant.
