CRASH CAME LAST NIGHT
JOHN THOMAS, THE FIRE BOSS,
PERlsHEo WITH OTHER
WORKERS.
MANY ARE KILLED OUTRIGHT
THOSE WHO SURVIVED FIRST
SHOCK DOUBTLESS WE'RE
sUFFocATED.

Trinidad, Colo, June 19.-Thirteen
miners are entombed and are believ-
ed to be dead as result of an ex-
plosion in the new slope of the Hast
ings mine of the Victor American
Fuel company last night, according to
advices received here today. Another
miner badly injured has been res
cued The mine is located 16 miles
north of Trinidad
The main slope is badly caved and
.rescuers have been able to make but
little progress. Rescue equipment
is being rushed to the scene of the
disaster.
John Thomas, fire boss, is believed
to have lost his life in the explosion.
The other victims are believed to be
foreigners. The new mine taps what
is known as the "B" seam of coal
which lies below the "a" seam or
old workings. The new slope
branches off to the left from the old
main slope short distance from the
mouth Of the mine and has been driv-
Ell distance of $500 feet. The ex-
plosion is believed to have taken
place near the face of the new work
ings shortly before 10 o'clock No
concussion was felt even in the inn
mediate vicinity of the mine and the
first warming of the disaster came
when a night watchman saw smoke
issuing from the mouth of the new
slope shortly before midnight.
Superintendent Cameron and party
succeeded in locating number of
bodies behind heavy falls and no
hope is held out that any are alive.
Those not killed outright died soon
afterward, Cameron believes, from
suffocation.
Fresh men went into the mine
shortly after o'clock The mine
fan was not damaged ana the wreck
ed slope is slowly being cleared OF
poisonous gases. Excellent order is
being maintained about the mine.

DEMOCRATS GETTING

BALTIMORE is FILLED WITH RIv-
AL CANDIDATES AND
THEIR FORCES.

Baltimore, Md, June 1S,-Prelimi-
nary to the meeting tomorrow of the
arrangements committee to select
the temporary officers of the demo-
cratic convention there was further
discussion today of the proposition, to
have the candidate who received the
second highest number of votes on
the final ballot accept the nomina-
ton of vice president. National Com
mitteeman Daniels of North Carolina
is strongly urging this proposition to
his fellow committeemeH.
The headquarters of the various
presidential candidates were in full
swing today. The rival camps is
sued hourly claims of victory. Sec
retary Woodson said all Of the con
tests received so far were quite min

Maryland that voted for Root and addi-
tional votes from North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Oregon.
A Bolt May Occur
I'VE will win beyond question:
said Dixon, the Roosevelt manager
today.
"If these contested delegates are
allowed to pass ON their own claims, 2
said Senator Miles Poindexter of
Washington, Roosevelt will be a
candidate" This was construed as
meaning a bolt if Roosevelt men were
in the minority.
Although Roosevelt may visit the
convention as a spectator. the Taft
leaders today insist that he could not
under the regulations of the national
committee, take part in the delibera-
tions, without vote of the conven.
ton itself. If he should get vote
on such a resolution it was conceded
that he would control the conven.
tion
Mr.. Mckinley was confident of the
final success of Taft. He declared
that he won over a number of Roose
welt delegates through the roll call
on temporary chairman. He said
that nearly all the Roosevelt dele
gates voting for Root win stick and
that Roots personality is a factor fol
the president.
1t was evident as the day wore on
that the compromise or third candi
date talk came from delegates and
not leaders. Hadley today said the
situation was not altered in single
detail by the election of Root.
Shrewd observers declare two
points in today's deliberation are de
pendable:
First, contests would be decided as
Hadley desires until the contests are
gone into and returned from creden
tials committee.
Second, there will be no compro
mise candidate until the Taft and
Roosevelt forces have tested theil
strength further on roll calls.
Although the convention faced the
real struggle of the Roosevelt lead
ers to obtain control of the perma
nent roll of delegates. there was no
Eiceable lack of excitement or enthu
siasm about the convention hall to
day.

rived at 1854 a. m. he was flanke'

Jack Curley, who went yesterday

to stop the Flynn-Johnson bout. today
sent the following dispatch to The

Albuquerque, N NJ, June Ig.-I
have been here since last evening in
vestigating the malicious reports that
have gone out regarding the governor
stopping the Flynn-Johnson contest l
find there is absolutely no truth in
any of these rumors. The local pa
pers feel that they have been grossly
imposed upon and assure me that
nothing like that will ever happen
again.

Chicago, June 19.-Theodore Roose-
welt had his fighting blood surging
early today and from the moment he
reached his conference quarters in
the Congress hotel until his field cap
tains left for the convention hall
there was unusual scurrying about.
Senator Dixon, his campaign man
ager; Governor Hadley, floor leader
of the Roosevelt forces; George w.
Perkins, Clifford Pinchot and others
most intimately in the colonel's con-
fidence, were closeted with Mr..
Roosevelt later for more than an hour
Governor Hadley said after the con-
sultation of the leaders, just before
going to Mr.. Roosevelt's rooms. that
he thought there would be no change
in the convention program of the
Roosevelt forces.
1--WE are going right ahead fighting
every inch of the ground said Gov
ernor Hadley.
Some Of the friends Of Mr.. Roose-
velt were not so certain that the Col,
enel would not have some other plan
in his mind which might upset things.
That the colonel has taken absolute
command seems certainty.
"The colonel is absolute boss" said
one of the Roosevelt lieutenants this
morning.
That Roosevelt will order with
drawal of his delegates from the con-
vention il the credentials committee
fails to unseat the protested SO dele
gates included in the appeal submit
ted by Governor Hadley was the most
discussed proposition. around head
quarters just before the convention
opened for the second day. On every
hand it was agreed that this develop
ment was certain to follow approval
of the national committees action.
Roosevelt's chief lieutenants, In
cluding Governors Hadley and De-
neen, served notice today that they
will not sanction bolt under any cir
cumstances. They made mo secret
of their position in this respect and
announced it to number of newspa-
per men.

Convention Hall, Chicago, June ~.
The second day of the fifteenth re-
mblican national convention opened
with ten hours of stubborn fighting
ahead and the outcome of the con-
test for the presidential nomination
uncertain. There were four posslpli-
tiles. The nomination of Taft the
nomination of Roosevelt, the nomina-
ton of a third candidate and possibii-
titles for a second or double conven-
tion. Backers Of any of these were
plentiful. Taft, Roosevelt and third
candidate partisans claimed strategic
advantage as a result of yesterday s
election of Root for temporary chair
man. Political prophets wandered in
amaze in condition of acute statis'
tical intoxication. The vote OF 55S
to sos for Root over McGovern was
construed confusingly.
Tie only things that We're certain
as II O'Clock approached were Tha'
Governor Hadley would make a fight
for Roosevelt, renewing his motion
for an "expurged" convention roll
eliminating 92 Taft delegates and
seating Roosevelt's men. 1t seemed
equally certain that Taft leaders
would refer the "expurgated" list tc
the credentials committee and that
an individual roll call would follow
Hadley, floor leader of the Roose
welt contingent, had arranged with
the Taft floor leader, former Repre-
sentative James f. Watson of Indiana
for an hour and a half debate by each
side. Whatever the outcome it was
planned to appoint committees before
adjourning the session and to take
a recess to 8 o'clock tonight The
night session was planned to receive
the report of the committee on rules
and possibly one other. AS planned
the convention will get to business
Thursday morning. 1t was expected
that the credential and platform re
ports would be made Thursday night

DR.. M'KAIG DRAWS
LARGE CONGREGATION
"saIvatlon of Faith" Was Subject Of
Evangelist at Trinity M. E.
Church.

A large congregation attended the
service at Trinity Methodist church
last night to hear Dr. McKaig's ser
mon of Salvation by Faith" and they
We're well repaid for being present.
He speaks with such ease that he
holds congregation without seeming
effort.
Last night he spoke Of the confu-
sion in many minds because of the
different words used in scripture,
some passages saying that we were
saved by the word, others that we
were saved through the blood, others
that we were saved by the Holy
Spirit. He said that the following
statement would help to straighten
/ their thinking on this matter:
The word is the channel of our sal.
walton, the blood of Jesus is the
element used in our salvation
while the Holy Spirit is the
active agent that applies the blood
4 through the word, and faith is the con-
dition that makes possible the applica-
ton of the merits of the shed blood
through the world by the Holy Spirit,
Thus we notice the Importance of
faith in mans salvation. He that
cometh unto God must believe that he
is. and that He is rewarder of all
, who diligently seek Him. The
{ speaker tried to show how easy it was
for a man to exercise faith. 1t is
natural for man to believe in God
| Faith is common and universal II
| seems to be native faculty of the
soul. If not wisely directed it will
' drive man into all manner Of extravi
gance. The speaker made clear that
t the conditions of salvation must be
: complied with before man can derive
any benefit from his knowledge o.
0 these facts. The faith that saves {
n man from sin is faith in the person o
,. Jesus Christ None other name i:
h given whereby we must be saved
The speaker closed by emphasizing
It the fact that faith 10 be efficient. mus
o be confessed. With the mouth con
