For the first time during the talk OF

the Mexican situation was injected as
a reason for keeping congress in ses-

was admitted that it was not the cur

for members to stay In Washington.
1t became apparent in well in
formed quarters that Great Britain's
failure to repudiate the action of Sir
Lionel Garden, British minister to
Mexico who presented his credentials
Immediately after Huerta proclaimed
his dictatorship, had caused Washing

could depend on the help of England
in solving the Mexican problem and
that henceforth the United States
would go forward single handed il

policy.

Dawson. N. M, Oct 24.-Two hun
dred and twenty men are still in the
Stag Canon Mine where an explosion
occurred Wednesday. Twenty three
have been taken out alive and thirty
eight bodies recovered. Much need.
ed government mine rescue cars are
expected today.
Hundreds of miners, working in
shifts of fifteen each, slowly are fore
ing their way through the rooms and
entries, fighting against dangers of
gas and a fire which started in an ad-
joining mine, and which thereatens
to reach the space in which the ems
tombed men are trapped,
AT 6'l5 o'c.IGck last night the first
miner TO pe rescued alive within twelve
nours was taken from the main entry.
! He was found unconscious not far
/ from the place where a mule earlier
in the evening had been found alive.
The finding of the live mule in the
mine encouraged officials in charge
of the rescue work to hope that some
live miners perhaps still are entombed
in room located more than 1000 feet
from an entrance,
Henry P. McShaw, son of Mrs. E. P.
McShaw Of New York city, widow of
+, former heavy stockholder in the mine,
is among the known dead. McShaw,
, who was but nineteen years old, had
come to the mine, in which his fathers
estate still held an interest, to learn
mining from practical experience.
]. G. Roberts, chief of the United
States mine rescue bureau in this dis
trict, is in charge of the rescue work.
Mr.. Roberts said it was impossible to
tell what caused the explosion, but
that it was of such violence as to
cause him to lose hope for the rescue
alive of any more of the entombed
men.
! In the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion were 2S4 miners, and that the
death list will reach so great a figure
is attributed to the fact that the great
l fans which kept the air circulating
within the mine were rendered useles.
