Six Perish in
 New York Fire
EXPLCUl ON IN SIX STORY FAC
 TORY BUILDING
OVER SCORE INJURED
Many Workers Escape From Building With Their Clothing AbIaze-Dis- trict Attorney to investigate.

New York, Oct. 24.-A gas oven in which metal was being enameled on the top floor of a six story factory building in Canal street exploded to- day, killing six persons. More than score Of others were injured or burn ed in the~fire that succeeded the ex- plosIon and some of them may die. Three of those killed were women. All were workers in the building.
 About 200 in Building.
 Searchlights played on the ruins to- night while hremen sought for more bodies which it was thought might have been overlooked when entry fo the building was effected after the flames had been brought under control The district attorneys office began an investigation. About 200 persons were employed in the building, which was occupied by manufacturers of ma chinery mirrors, clothing and other goods.
 Escaped with Clothing Abaze.
 The escape of some of the trapped workers was spectacular. With their clothing ablaze they climbed ogt through f1ame-swept windows onto fire escapes and leaped to the sidewalks. Many were badly injured by the drop from upper floors Spectators beat out the flames from their clothing and saved them from burning to death.
 Body in Crouching Position.
 Late tonight firemen came across the incinerated body of a young man who had met death while in a crouch inS position apparently trying to shield his face from the intense heat.
 John GonzolO, 16 years old, died in hospital. The dead man at the morgue was identified as Charles R. Hoffman, general manager of one of the manufacturing firms that was burned out. One of the dead women was identified as Miss Martha Morris, 23, who was Hoffman's secretary.
 Cause of Explosion.
 Later stories told by .employes to Assistant District Attorney Skinner re- garding the cause of the explosion were to the effect that flames from tho gas oven communicated with a nearby tank of fluid used for japanning.

SIR LIONEL SHUTS UP.
Annoyed by the Importance Attached
 to His Interview.

Mexico City, Oct 24-'I shall make no reply to any further inquiry on the subject" was the only answer of Sir Lionel Garden, the British minister to Mexico, when informed this eve- ming that the British foreign office through the embassy at Washington had denied to the American state de- partment the authenticity of his ut terances regarding the United States governments lack of understanding of conditions in Mexico.
 Sir Lionel appeared to be slightly annoyed by the importance that had been attached to his interview. Asked 1T he desired to make a formal denial of the interview through the medium of the press, the minister repeated his statement that he refused to carry tho controversy further.
 The British minister finds himself the object of much interest on the part of the newspaper men who are besieging him for further comment on the British American controversy. Despatches shown him saying that the British newspapers believe him to have been misquoted failed to move him to a denial of the statements re- gently credited to him.
 Sir Lionel appears to take the ground that his opinion has been given undue importance and that it should not have been construed as a criticism of Washington.

BALDWIN LOSES HIS
 KANSAS CITY FIGHT.
Congregational Council Goes on Record
 in Favor of Temperance.

Kansas City, Mo-. Oct. 24-By a vote of 517 to 14, the national council of Congregational churches today went on record in favor of temperance. The vote defeated a movement headed by Governor Simeon E. Baldwin of Con necticut, who opposed the report of the temperance committee favoring an amendment to the federal constitution prohibiting the manufacture, sale. irn- portation and eXportation of intoxicaa@ ing beverages throughout the United States.
 The high cost of living which figures in financial discussions in family cir cles has advanced it's field of operation to the religious work.
 This was brought out late today dur ing a spirited discussion before tha commission of nineteen of the national council of Congregational churches when it was announced that the indi- vidual assessment of each Congrega- tlonaIist in the United States toward the support of the national council had been raised from three to four cents 8 year. In addition the church members have to meet other assessments for tho maintenance of churches and mission- ary bodies.

Blanchard and Jacob w. Brown, phy- sicians. MT. McNally described the ad- m1raPs behavior and appearance on several occasions, saying that he ap- peared to be under the influence of thtoxicants but the odor of liquor could not be detected on him. Lieutenant Reyes said that when Admiral Eaton was a captain in command of the bat tleship Massachusetts he spent an en- tire night on deck clutching the rail. c
 Doctor Prescribed Arsenic Pills
 Evidence introduced by the govern ment indicated that the admiral's death was due to arsenic in the stom- ach. To explain this condition, the defense called Dr. Brown. a, former a jail term for illicit practices, who testified that at Admiral Eatons re- quest he had prescribed 8 prepara- ton containing arsenic. The prescrip- ton called for 4600 pills, each contain ing one one-hundredth of @ grain of the poison.

is still going on. but hopes that more of the miners will be rescued alive have been abandoned.
 Two Reseuers Succumb.
 The two deaths added to the list to- day, were those of rescue men, James Lurdi and William Poisi. The men were members of rescue squad which enterer the mine in tn early morning. They did not return, and 1t was only when the experts of the United States rescue car had searched six hours that the bodies were found. At the news of the added deaths the men who had been doing the rescue work refused to go back into the mine, but their places were taken by men from the rescue car, which had been rushed from the Kansas coal fields. The rescue work Is going forward slowly under the lead ership of J. c. Roberts.
 Episcopal and Catholic Service.
 The funeral service over the recov- cred bodies was simple. Father A. c. Collier Of St 'Joseph's parish, Spring CT, N. J., read the service over the dead of the Roman Catholic faith, while for the others Rev. H M. Shields, camp chaplain. read the Episcopal burial ser vice. Six bodies remain in the morgue tonight. They will be buried tomor- row.
 Theory of Explosion.
 Walter Douglas, general manager of the Phelps, Dodge & Co. syndicate, which controls the Stag Canon Fuel company, tonight expressed his opinion as to the cause of the explosion. He said that gas is known to have exist ed in a vein of coal just above the one which the company is working. and that it has been known to enter the Stalk Canon mine on occasions when part of the roof gave way. It is the belief that some time Wednesday small part Of the roof dropped, permit ing gas and fire damp to penetrate into several rooms or chambers of the mine and that subsequently, some person with an unprotected lamp entered the pocket in which the gas and dust had accumulated.
 Chief Roberts Coincides.
 Chief Roberts of the government ser vice agrees with MT. Douglas to the probable cause, but said it was only guess.

Mining Congress Wants Anti Trust
 Laws Modified

Philadelphia. Oct. 24-The Aneri- can mining congress at it's final ses- sion here today adopted a resolution urging upon congress and the state legislature the necessity of the modi- t1cation of the anti trust laws as ap- piled to natural resources '.in order that they may be conserved and proper safeguards thrown around the employees" The resolution recites that federal reports show the coal industry of the country to be in a deplorable condition, returning but small profit upon investments; that federal and state laws encouraging competition and preventing reasonable cooperation among those engaged in coal mining result not only in preventing a fair return for the inVes tnent of capital but in most cases allow only the re- covery of from 50 to so per cent. of the buried heat, light and power, and that these laws limit the surrounding of the employees engaged in mining with all possible safeguards
