A DEADLOCK ENDS THE.
EPISCOPAL Meeting.
TRIENNIAL CONVENTION OF THE
CHURCH FAILS TO DECIDE
MANY ISSUES

New York, Oct. 25.-The general
convention Of 1913 Of the Protestant
Episcopal church PASSED into his
tory this afternoon in a hopeless
deadlock on two important resolutions
with the most far-reaehing topic over
Legislation before It uifconsidered BY
one house because of an error in the
other, and with a positive refusal to
consider request Of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union that
unfermented grape juice be substit-
ued for wine in the communion SER
vice.
On the proposal to establish a Sc
parate bishopric for negroes in the
south and on the proposed eimina-
tion Of the words "Jews, Turks, inf
des and Heretics" from the Good Fri
day collect, the house of bishops and
the house Of deputies were deadlock
ed. On the proposal to require a
two-thirds vote to change the name
of the church, adopted by the depu-
ties, the bishops refused to act be-
cause the resolution was sent to
them only yesterday. while it was
adopted by the lower house more than
two weeks ago. The original draft
of the resolution was mislaid.

No EIectIon IN sonora

Hermosillo. Sonora, oct. 25.-There
will be no election in the state Of
Sonora, except in Guaymas, which is
held by the federals. Constitutional
ist officials reiterated today the re-
cent assertion of their leader, General
venustiano Carranza, that the sue
cessful candidate tomorrow would
not be recognized, but would be
treated by the constitutionalist ad-
herents as a traitor to Mexico Con
ditions with regard to the election
are said to be similar in the other
states now in rebellion.
General Carranza and his chief ad-
yisers declared their belief today
that despite his declarations to the
contrary, Huerta had SO arranged
matters that the ballot would show
him to be the virtually unanimous
choice Of the electors for president.

pIaz ordered TO capitaI

Vera Cruz, Oct. 25.-General Felix
Diaz today received a request" from
the Mexican government to proceed
at once to the federal capital
Colonel Manuel Vidaurrazaga, sec
retary to the Mexican minister of war,
arrived here on special train with
the invitation, which was practically
an order for Diaz to accompany him
to Mexico City.
Diaz Won't Risk II
Unless General Diaz alters his in
tentions he will not return to the fed
eral capital, Notwithstanding 'the
invitation" which was signed personal
ly by Huerta. Whether Colonel vi
daurranzaga bore orders to arrest
General Diaz was not known this
morning Diaz did not deliver a for
NAL negative answer to Huerta's in
vitation.
Huerta's letter urged Diaz to come
to the federal capital Immediately
''for his own prestige as well as for
that Of the government" It was writ
ten in affectionate terms and bore no
resemblance to an official command.
Colonel vidaurrazaga's instructions
apparently indicated the necessity Of
his returning to the federal capital to-
day with reply from Diaz.

Gas Retards Rescuers


! The recurrence of large quantities
Of carbon dioxide in mine No. 2 o.
the stag Canon Fuel company, wreck
ed by an explosion late Wednesday
this morning retarded the progress
Of the helmet men in their exploration
of the workings.
/ At 4 o'clock the effort to bring out
bodies was temporarily abandoned,
and the rescue forces turned their at.
tention to securing ventilation. With
in that time 73 bodies had been re-
covered. Twenty-three remains the
total number Of miners rescued alive,
and hope of finding more has prac-
tically been abandoned.
Helmet crews each headed by gov
ernment rescue men, are proceeding
with extreme caution with an attempt
to reach the division between Cham
bers 1S and 10, beyond which many
bodies are supposed to lie. Poison
Gus gases, however. forced them to
retreat this morning The cause Of
gas recurrence is believed to be
leakage through the seemingly i'm
penetrable blockade between Cham
bers IS and 10 on the east nigh line,
though why the accumulation Of gas
becomes worse in early morning is a
question upon which the government
experts do not venture even con
lecture.
Helmet Men Frightened
The less experienced helmet men
have become unneryed by the con
stant menace of gas, especially since
the fatal accident to two Of their
number yesterday. Only the constant
presence Of government experts from
the two United States rescue cars
is keeping even handful of men at
work in far recesses of the mines.
When the gas drove the rescuers
from the east high line, they turned
their attention for the FIRST time to
the west high line, where it was re-
ported that bodies had been found in
Chambers 20 and 81. Until this morn
ing it was believed that no men were
working in that portion Of the mine
at the time Of the explosion.
Bodies are MutiIated
Before exploration of Chamber Isl
was abandoned it was reported that
rs badly mutilated bodies had been
found in that rbom. none Of them
bearing b single means Of identfilca
tion. The arrival Of q second gov
ernment car early this morning great
ly expedited the rescue work, placing

LOWEST BIDDER NOT
AWARDED CONTRACT
Pacific Heating & Engineering Com
pany's Work Not Satisfactory
in Past Says Board.
cox GETS CONTRACT WITH
SOMEWHAT HIGHER TENDER
Labor Unions Strongly Opposed to Let
ting Contract to Pacific People
and Protested.

The board of control yesterday
awarded the heating contract for the
new supreme court building to W. W.
Cox, of Portland. Although the Pa
cific Heating & Engineering company
bid $19,S77 on the work, and Mr.. Cox
bid $2O,23l, the board felt that as the
work done heretofore by the Pacific
company had not been satisfactory the
board was justified in rejecting their
bid and awarding the same to next low
est which was Mr.. Cox. Mr.. Cox said
later that he would do the work for the
same figure as was asked by the Pa,
citic company.
The trouble with the Pacific coinpa-
NY arose over some work that was done
on the asylum and the tubercular insti-
tuition and declared to be inferior by
the governor and the secretary of state.
Labor unions were also against
awarding the the contract to the Paci-
fic people and even went so far as to
send delegate here to protest against
the company The governor and secre.
tary say that this action on the part of
the labor unions had nothing to do with
their decision.
The plumbing contract was awarded
to Griggs & Co. whose bid was $4454.

MEMBER OF LEGISLATURE
is ELIGIBLE FOR PLACE

TttOrney General Crawford this
morning gave an opinion relative to
membership on the Panama Exposition
commission. The question was brought
up by Treasurer Kay, who wanted to
know whether or not member of the
last legislature, which created the com
mission, could be member of the com
mission. The attorneys general holds
that such thing is permissible as the
law merely lays down that an office
holder cannot be legislator. Further
more, the position being only honorary
would permit member of the legisla-
ture being on the commission.
