Dozens Of Bodies.
DAWSON is A DEATH CAMP
Men Seeking the Victims Are Fore
ing Their Way Foot by Foot
Through Debris and Gas.

What is the fate OF approximately
200 men remaining in the workings
of No. Stag Canon mine, al ia TSon,
N. NJ, who with forty-two know i>'d
and twenty-five rescued alive, wee
entombed By terrific explosion on
Wednesday afternoon?
This was the question on the lips OF
hundreds Of mothers, wives and chill
dren as they pressed the line OF the
guards thrown about the mouth or the
mine This was the unconscious III
centive that spurred hundreds OF vol
unteer rescuers in an endeayor to
penetrate workings strewn with de-
bris and filled with poisonous gases.
1t seems certain that at least 234
perhaps more, were entombed. Scores
of experienced miners irom Colorado
fields continued TO reach camp acd
fresh squads were sent into the work
ings as their predecessors emerged
exhausted.
It was announced that tNen:y sr1
more bodies had been located, b. 80
eral hours must elapse bofors .Acf
could be brought to tha surface.
Six bodies had been :dsntia9 !, II
cluding two Americans, Arthur Eas-
lish and Walter Johnson.
OF the twenty-five miaers alive the
greater number were seriously injur-
ed. Many had been frightfully man.
gled by the explosion. Nearly all
were sickened by the poisonous gases
they had inhaled.
II was stated that the venti!attng
fan was not started until four hours
after the explosion, and that In the
meantime the gas probably had Dene-
trated every part OF the workings. Lit
tie hope was expressed by the leaders
of the rescue parties that any or tho
men still in the mine have survived.
William McDermott, general super
intenedent OF the mine, had not baen
found. He was among the 2S4 men
entombed.
The work of penetrating into the
ruined workings was progressing IN
the face Of enormous difficulties. The
tunnels leading into No. 2 from neigh
boring mines were blocked and all
work had to be done through the
main entrances.
Stag Canon No. 2 is not q SHAFT
mine, but Is entered through tunnel
driven into the face Of the mountain.
Most Of the men thus far rescued ana
nearly all the bodies, have been
found in this tunnel, comparatively
near the entrance. The men still
missing are at least 5000 feet from
the entrance. Rescuers equipped with
oxygen helmets and relieving each
other at short intervals, are forcing
their way foot by foot, often being
compelled to halt for hours while fall
en- rock and coal is removed. No pre-
dlction is made IS to how long 1t will
take to penetrate the innermost re-
cesses Of the mine.

President Is Considering Statement
Objecting to Foreign Warslips In
Mexican Waters.

Developm ents of few hours in the
relations between the United States
and Mexico emphasized gravity Of
affairs more ominous than at any time
since President Wilson's administra-
ton began. Absolute silence was the
order in official quarters.
The British Foreign Office, through
the embassy officially denied to the
State Department the authenticity OF
the much h-discussed published inter-
view with Sir Lionel Garden, the Brit
iah Minister at Mexico Ciay, which
represented the Ambassador as dn-
sympathetic with the policy of the
United States.
The release Of the Ward Line steam
ship Moro Castle, detained at Vera
Cruz, after peremptory demand by the
United States, terminated one delicate
situation. Orders were in preparation
to the commanders Of the American
warships lying off Vera Cruz, to insist
on her release.
A statement was in preparation by
Secretary Of State Bryan and John
Bassett Moore, counsellor Of the state
Department, which Secretary Bryan
brought to the White House for the
Presidents approval. No intimatlon
as to Its contents was revealed, but
there was every reason to believe
that before many hours had passed
O notice by the United States that 1t
would not brook European interfer-
ence in Mexico by the warships de-
spatched to Mexican water by the
various foreign governments, would
be proclaimed.
1t is understood also that the United
States, by that same statement will
reiterate the American policy that
only governments founded on coEsti-
tutional law and order will be recog-
The gravity of the situation, it was
apparent, would be increased by Felix
Diaz taking refuge in the American
Consulate at Vera Cruz. The posi-
bility that the Huerta authorities
might demand his release and pro-
woke another emergency was fully
realized.
At the State Department 1t was
said, though no instructions had been
given to w. w. Canada, the United
States consul at Vera Cruz, to afford
an asylum to Diaz, Canada's general
instructions were such that he could
take in Diaz If it seemed necessary.
Although in international law, the
American Consulate has not extra ter
ritorial rights, it was pointed out that
morally the Mexican authorities would
have no right to invade the American
precincts to arrest Diaz.
, Nine battleships of the Atlantic fleet
sailed from Hampton Roads for their
long-projected Mediterranean cruise,
according TO the original plans. They
will be in communication with the
powerful wireless station here at least
until next Thursday. 1t was stated
officially that they sail without any
orders except to proceed to their
Mediter7anean destination.

The General Education Board
Makes Large Gilt

The general education board, which
John D. Rockefeller has given $42,OOO,-
900 to disburse in the general aid OF
education, announced gifts amounting
to S1.a50,000, the largest disburse-
ments ever made in one day by the
board. and including a gift OF $1,5OO.-
900 to John Hopkins Medical School,
which is particularly unique.
The amount is given for the pur-
pose of reorganlzlng the departments
of medicine, surgery and pediatrics, so
that the professors in these depart
ments and their staffs will completely
withdraw from paid practice in O. +
to devote their entire time &c lie
care of patients. teaching an1 -
search in their respective G RI
ments. 1t entails large rail-, of
salary to the fifteen or twen'y men
affected.
The amounts voted by the board
brings the total of Mr.. Rockefeller 8
gifts through the board up to about
s15.000,O00. The money will be given
outright for it's purpose, and Mr..
Rockefeller's board will have nothing
to do with the internal changes In
the Johns Hopkins Medical School.
Abraham Flexner, secretary OF the
board. said that the reorganization OF
the three departments affected will be
begun right away.
The other gifts announced were
100000 to Barnard College. 100000
for Wellesley College and $4,000 for
Ripon College, Ripon, Wis. These
gifts are simply for endowment pur'
poses.

Wilson In Politics Three Years.

Just three years ago President Will

for twenty-five years and entered the
political arena.
On October 90, 1910, president Will
son" for he was so titled as the head
of Princeton University, appeared be-
fore the Board Of Trustees and read
his letter Of resignation, inspired, as

BIG MORTGAGE

naneiag iaCounlry's History.
Hay EXCEED A BILLION
1t viii Be Made the Basis of Com
pany's Financial Needs for Many
Years to Come.


Preliminary notice OF what will un-
questionably prove to be The greatest
piece OF financing ever under. aiken by
an American corporation was made by
Samuel Rea, president OF the Penasy1-
vania Railroad IN Philadelphia. Re
ports that the company contemplated
a billion-dollar mortgage are borne
out in so far that Mr.. Rea says that
the management is considering the
creation Of a general mortgage IS a
basis fer the corporations financing
for many years to come.
The Statemont read:
Under this mortgage 1t Is conten-
plated to Issue bonds in such amounts
from time to time as may be required
to provide necessary additions. better
ments and improvements to Its rail-
roads, equipment, property and facili-
ties; the funds that may be necessary
to meet maturing obligations, and for
such other corporate purposes as may
no wor hereafter be duly authorized
by law. The aggregate amount OF
bonds that may be issued shall not
at any time exceed the outstanding
capital stock.
"When approved by the directors.
the whole question will be laid before
the stockholders for their considera-
ton at the ANIMAL meeting in March.
The company has no expenditures
that require immediate financing, but
desires to announce the contemplated
preparations for the necessary refund
ing and capital expenditures In 1914,
1915, and later years, which 1t wiz
be able to meet through the issue or
either capital stock, consolidated
(flrst) mortgage bonds. or such other
form Of financing as will produce the
best results for the company and meet
the monetary conditions prevailing at
the time Of issue"
The authorized capital stock Of the
company Is s6OO,0oO.00o. Of which
s493,SS0Se0 is outstanding. The rail-
roads funded debt amounts to S2l4.-
100000, and that Of the Pennsylvania
Company, which operates all the lines
west OF Pittsburgh, is s130.0o0,000. or
the funded debt not quite s9o,OOO,OOO
natures in the next two years, and
the remainder for the most part has
a considerable time to run.
Improv ements and betterments
which the company has in view will
call for the expenditure Of millions
of dollars. Electrifcation OF Its lines
will be begun soon.
1t Is to be in position to meet
the demands created by these I'M
provements that the mortgage Will
he created, 1t Is believed by the inan-
cial community. Although apparently
limited to the amount Of outstanding
capital stock, s600,0o0,000, the bond
issue under the mortgage Is prac-
tically unlimited except by the amount
TO which the capital stock may be
increased ct any time by the directors
with the ratification OF the stock
holders.
