Mine Explosion Buried Men
Near Dawson, New
Mexico
EARLY RESCUE WORK
WAS SUCCESSFUL
Several Men Alive But Weak
Were Found Late
Last Night

| Dawson, New Mexico, Oct. 23.-More
than 200 were believed to be still en-
tombed in the shaft of the Stag Canon
mine Of the Phelps, Dodge g. CO., this
morning more than twelve hours after
the explosion in the depths of the work
ings Fourteen bodies were recovered
during the night and the 23rd living vic
tim was found at depth of mile and
taken out unconscious.
The indications were that the search
ers would reach majority of the en-
tombed men to-day. Hope was strong
that the great fans which were driven
all night would have so diluted the gas
that the trapped men might be found
alive.
The exact cause of the explosion is
not known, but it is believed that it was
due to ignition of either black damp or
coal dust
Immediately after the explosion all
shifts of men were called to the work of
rescue, and those miners who were EN-
ployed in other shafts were put to work
drilling through the debris which was
said to have blocked the mine below the
second level
The United States rescue car sta
toned at Trinidad was summoned and
every available man in Dawson was aid
ing in the attempt to reach the en-
tombed miners.
f. L. Miller, superintendent OF the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, with
trained crew of rescuers left Trinidad
in special car for Dawson with oxygen
helmets and other apparatus.
Mayor Il. J.. Kinney declared that it
was impossible TO make any estimate
as to the possible loss of life and that
none of the mine officials or rescuers on
the ground would care to make any
statement He said the mine was so
constructed as to permit of the least
possible danger from such explosions.
According TO Mayor Kinney, no cause
for the explosion has been learned.
None of the men rescued had been
able to approach the air shaft of any
of the workings within the mine which
wonld have proved a means of exit
through another shaft, and the fact that
none of the other entombed miners have
been able to make their way out of the
mine leads to the belief that all have
been cut off from every means of exit.
In the relief camps near the entrance
of mine No are gathered the women
and children of the entombed miners
The miners families are eheered by the
that Superintendent McDer-
mott is among the main body of miners
and they have confidence as
have mine officials in the superintend-
ent's resources in such disaster.

New York Grand Jury
Tries Where Duchess
County Failed
20 WITNESSES
WE'RE SUMMONED
To Tell What They Know of
Thaw's Flight from
Matteawan

New York, Oct. o. Twenty witnesses
were under subpoena to testify to-day
before the grand jury investigating the
charge of conspiracy in connection with
the escape of Harry X. Thaw from Mat
teawan, Aug. II. Counsel for Thaw pre-
pared to make strenuous efforts to pre-
vent the indictments, on the ground that
Thaw was insane and therefore could
not be called to trial. The state, through
William r. Jerome, hopes to show that
conspiracy existed.
The grand jury of Dutchess county, in
which Matteawan is situated, failed to
return an Indictment against Thaw for
conspiracy and the Indictment is sought
here as weapon in the fight to extra
dite him from New Hampshire. John
Collins, proprietor of the garage from
which the automobile in which Thaw
made his dash for liberty was hired, was
the first witness called before the jury
to-day.

DIAZ, DEFIANT,
DISOBEYS ORDER
Lands at veru Cruz and Decides to Re-
main There for Time-Made
Speech to Workingmen.

Veru Cruz, Mexico, Oct. 23.--Gen. Fe-
lix Diaz, in defiance of the intimation
from the government that he proceed to
Tampico aboard the steamer Coreovado
and there disembark, has decided to re-
main at Veru Cruz, at least temporarily
He is unwilling to admit that he is not
free to come and go and talks of trip
to the capital to-day or tomorrow.
According to reports current here he
is likely to return to Havana aboard a
Mexican warship and unless the orders
from the capital are altered he will be
left no choice.
General Daz was to have been noti-
fed on the high seas of the governments
wishes, but the captain of the gunboat
Zaragoza, who went to sea in the middle
of the night with Colonel Vidaurrasga,
secretary to the minister of war, to
whom the mission had been entrusted,
lost his course.
A new captain for the Zaragoza was
named yesterday. When the Corcoyado
arrived, representative of the govern
ment attempted to induce General Diaz
to continue his voyage to Tampico. The
general would not consider this, but
came ashore at IL in the morning. From
the moment of landing, he has professed
his intention of continuing the political
fight, even although close followers have
suggested that this would be futile in
view of the Huerta Banquet ticket
In speech from the balcony of a
hotel to a few hundred workingmen who
gathered to greet him, despite police or
ders against demonstrations, General
Diaz reiterated his purpose of continuing
the campaign, but at the same time
members of the committee which had
come here to welcome him were con-
vinced that he would not be permitted
to finish the presidential contest.
There was no disorder here yester-
day, but twelve arrests were made in
connection with his coming. Four Of
the prisoners are army officers, They
are held in barracks subject to instruc-
tions from Mexico City. The officers
were members of the commission named
as a special embassy TO Japan of which
General Diaz some months ago was the
head The officers were instructed to re-
main at Havana, but allege that short
age of funds forced them to disobey the
order. For this they were arrested.
Three Of the prisoners are Italians, who
are accused of plotting the assassination
Of Daz. The others are partisans Of
Diaz, who are charged with attempting
to influence the police in favor of their
leader.

pose it,"

BRIDGEPORT POUNDS THREE
 SPRINGFIELD PITCHERS HARD
Stow, MOnahan and Bowman Punish Pill
 In Double Header

The Bridgeport team jumped all over the Springfield pitchers in Ponyville yesterday and won the first game of a double header by IA to G. In the sec ond the score was 1 to 1 when Umpire Kennedy called it at the end iof the ninth. The Springfield Union says of the battles:
 Whatever chance Capt. Jack o'Hara and his mates had of annexing the verdict in the opening, number faded in the very first inning when the Bridgeport binglers knocked Hal Jus tin out of the box. Later Billy Burke, the newest addition to the local heaV- ing. corps, followed Justin to the bench and Bantam Banta, the young south paw, was bumped hard and often for the remainder of the game. Blossom Blum, who did the hurling for the Crosscrew, yielded IA hits, two less than made by the Nutmeggers, but he took things easy and generally tight ened up whenever any serious trouble threatened. The second setto was a, fine pitchers bout between Doc More of the Ponies and Dick Tuckey of the visitors, and was sprinkled with fashy fielding that time and time again brought the fans to their feet.
 In the first the Crossmen started to manufacture runs right off the reel. A pass and four singles, netting three rus, resulted in Justin's retirement with only one out in the first inning. Then Burke was tapped for single and a double, which, with an error, produced three more runs before the side was retired, the visitors batting around. Burke got through the sec ond inning unharmed, but he trai1ed Justin to the clubhouse in the third when two singles and two doubles were rivted together for three more ta1lies. Banta. was tapped for a single, double and sacrifice fly, and three more runs were chaIked up, making an even half dozen, the same as in the opening in ming. A double, sacrifice hit and sac- rifice fly gave the visitors their 18th marker in the sixth and a single and triple scored the last one in the eighth. BridoepOrt
