USE DYNAMITE TO
DRIVE OUT LOPEZ
SLAYER Of Six Believed to Have
Been Crushed Under Tons
of Rocks.

BINGHAM. Utah. Dec. S.-Sticks OF
dynamite were hurled into room IN
the Utan-Apex mine in which Ralph
Lopez, slayer Of six men, is believed to
have crawled, wounded, dragging his
weapon behind him.
Tons of earth and rock choken the
room after the explosion. and work was
begun to clear away the debris to learn
II the Mexican desperado finally was
trapped. Lopez was traved TO inc
room along tunnel by imprfnts show
ing that ne had crawled on his hands
and knees. dragging his rifle. Members
of the posse followed the tracks until
they led into the room. There the
searchers, knowing the deadly aim OF
the Mexican, feared to follow.
Aside from the possibility that the
desperado lay dead In the room, the
sheriffs and deputies found nothing to-
day 10 dispel the belief that Lopez had
escaped before the gases, which were
forced into the mine last week to as
phyxiate him, became overpowering.
However. the search was pursued Wig
orously and will continue until every
part Of the mine has been explored.
The pursuit of Lopez began on No
vember u, when he killed a Mexican
miner. Since then he has killed the
chief Of police and four deputies.

POPULAR DISTRICT
CONTROL ITS AIM
Committee Of Forty to Urge
General Suffrage in New
District Charter.
CONTINUED from First Page.) }

q ess gets ready to act. it is felt that
the people of the District snould have
SOME voice in determining tho new form
o; GOV erumcnt, and should, therefore
be organized so as to present a united
front No one objects TO the plan OF
having a delegate i'll Congress. provided
he is elected by popular vote. without :
Dr operty qualification. but the concenSuS
OF opinion Is that the popular election
and control of our city officials is q
matter Of much greater Importance. and
SHOULD not be sidetracked by the dele
gate proposition.
The citizens committee is already con-
steering an increase in its membership
from forty TO one hundred. The COM
m;ttee may also form the nucleus OF q
charter convention, and will be a rally
ing certer for all organizations with a
similar purpose.
Here is the platform of the citizens
committee of forty:
4 change in the form of government
of the District OF Columbia is practical
ly certain in the near future. Dissatis-
faction with the existing system is now
general.
A majority in Congress. comprising
representatives pi all parties. is evident
ly opposed to the continuation of the
LreSent system. y number OF bills have
been introduced during the special ses-
sion providing for more or less funda-
mental changes in the government OF
the District. and Il is known that others
VIII be introduced at the regular ses-
sion which has recently convened. This
friends of the present un-American sys-
TEN. realizing tha. a change Is practi-
caIlE inevitable, are endeavoring to in
fiuence Congress to exclude popular
control as far as possible.
In view of this situation. it is vitally
rFFNNaS
government in the District should or
EaniZe concerted effort to secure a
Torn. OF government in harmony with
the fundamental principles of American
democracy and be on guard to prevent
any betrayal of the rights Of the people.
Principles Declared.
Therefore. We. the undersigned. re-
siding in the District of Columbia. en-
bracing members of all political par
ties. and representing the business and
professional interests OF Washington,
AS well as Federal employees and organ
lied labor, do hereby unite as a citizens
committee of forty, in behalf of pop
ular government in the District OF Co
lumoia. We agree in the following pre-
liminary statement Of principles and
demands: -.
l. We believe that the people of
Washington are as capable of self
government as those of other Amer
ican cities.
>. We believe that the Federal
Government should pay its just and
proper share of the expenses of the
government of the District OF Co.
lumbia, and that s1ere should be
retained such measure of Federal
control as may be necessary for the
city as the National Capital, and
fo- its development on a national
scale.
g. We believe that the District
needs more than a delegate in Con-
Sress. even though such delegate
be elected by the people.
4. We believe that municipal :suf-

thing in effect. Mr.. Bryan used TO Dc

welt would likely be nominated by both
Republican and Progressive primaries.
Thus Democrats are pointing out mat
the Presidents plan has multiplied
benefits for the Republican party. and
just AS numerous Disadvantages for tho
Democratic. Can lie carry il through :
Will he bring on a revolt of the South
and divide his party. or will hc permit
ii TO he sidetracked when its political
cmharrasSments become apparent?
Nobody attempts with confidence TO
Answer these questions at present. Tn ;
general opinion, however. Is that the
President will stick by his plan, and
that he will pass some kind of n pri-
mary measure i'm time for the 1916 cam.
paiSn. Without question, his demand
for such measure constitutes The most
important purely political proposal since
he was elected

Sore Throat Don'ts

When the children have sore throat,
don't blister their necks with lamp oil.
Don't torture them with foul smelling
piece of fat meat. wrapped about the
neck. Don't imagine there is medical
virtue in an old sock or piece of red
flannel. Don't believe in antiquated
superstitions.
A sore throatis serious matter and
is not to be healed by such make>be-
lieve remedies. The use of such

"The measure consisted Of amend.

"THE ROSARY" ovERCAME ALL
OBSTACLES WITH EXCELLENT
PRODUCTION.

After sitting through three reels OF
motion pictures that were good, and
trying to consider themselves amused
with vaudeville act and all this in
chilly house. the audience was not IN
the most appreciative mood at the
Grand last night when the time arrived
for the curtain to go up on "The Ro
sary.' The company was delayed in
arriving due to the poor train service
that has prevailed, and had to hurry
some to be able to appear here at all,
but when they did appear and satisfied
a critical and previously DISSATISFIED
house, and all this after spending an
entire day on the train, no higher con
pliment could be paid the actors, who
did splend:dly in producing the stellar
attraction, the greatest sermon on the
stage today.
Father Kelly, played by Frank Ire.
son, changed the whole situation and
after he had completed his work, Ill
in the audience were willing to see him
again in the great role, famed through
out the United States. Likewise Mary
Enos, Helen Ross and Florence Forbes
did well and special mention is due
Miss Enos who not only won the m.
dience with her presentation Of the
leading feminine role but satisfied the
ladies present, appearing in several
rich costumes. The male portion of
the cast handled well the various roles
even the cold house failed to detract
from the acting. The scenery was also
excellent and no criticism can be Of.
fered. The management can be con.
graduated on securing the attraction
appropriate to the season, but must he
criticised for not providing more
steam.
