DAWSON. y NJ. Oct. 25.-Fifty
four bodies had been recovered Fri
day night from the chambers of Stag
Canon mine No ?, two deaths had
been added 10 the mine total and gov

abandoned.
The two deaths added TO the list

James Lurdi and William POisi. The
men were members of a rescue squad
which entered the mine in the early
morning They did not return and il
was only after the experts of the
United States rescue car had searched
six hours that the bodies were found.
At the news of the added deaths the
men who had been doing the rescue.
work refused 10 go back into the
mine. but their places were taken by
men from the rescue car. which had
been rushed from the Kansas coal
fields.
The work of rescue is going for
ward slowly under the leadership of
J. c. Roberts.
The funeral service over the recov-
cred bodies was simple. Father a. Q.

Walter Douglas. general manager of
the Phelps-DOdge syndicate. which

that gas is known TO have Existed in

that it has been known to enter the

SPENDING TOO MUCH
OF TIME IN ATTACKS

II think the citizens are making a
mistake by spending SO much time
attacking the News-Times If they
would tell more OF their constructive
program and how they propose to
benefit the city. they would get

This statement made by II. r
Lang. citizens candidate for council
at "A meeting at the River PARK school
Friday night struck the first note of
public protest inside the citizens
party against the mud singing that
has been a conspicuous part of the
citizens program.
Lang also denied that he was op-
posed 10 the public market. though
he thought some changes were neces-

Marvin Campbell made the main
speech, which was taken down in full
by stenographer. Mr.. Campbell
had number of clippings from the
News-Times which he used as his
text From an editorial published
yesterday. on the coming OF Herbert
Bigelow. he argued an endorsement
OF non-p9rtisan elections in general
but concluded that this newspaper
was not satisfied with the candidates.
Then he launched into a defense of
Keller as a candidate.

Mr. Romig also took occasion to

itest by the action Of the Federation
OF Women assembled at INDIANAPOLIS
during the past few days in declaring
for one standard of morals for men
and women, and resolving TO unite in
education of healthful habits OF life:
10 encourage civic, social. religious
and business organizations TO join in
moral campaigns: to encourage the
sentiment Of a rigid supervision Of
tuberculosis; urging that ample public
health arrangement De made for car
Ing for the disease; advocating the
employment of civic and school nurses
in the community health service and
TO help assist III educating for health
preservation.
The Federation resolved openly 10
recognize and fight the ScOurge of the
diseases of vice, the most insidiOus
enemy Of this and future generations:
TO oppose any plan for the legalizing
of social vice in segregated districts or
elsewhere, TO declare against tEe al
cohol and drug habits; TO urge en-
plOyers of labor 10 give their en-
plOyes a we'll considered program con
tributinS TO their efficiency and well

naTrOWness of the clerical program
mapped out in our own locality to
reform" this city hy turning it over
To a real estate junta for the exploita-
ton of its selfish interests and pur-
poses.
As Viewed Outside.
II Is gratifying TO know that the
attempt at besmirching the reputation
OF South Bend by exaggerating its
vices and obscuring its virtues are not
as fruitful as these defamers may
have hoped. As ar indication OF the
futility OF the defamation process the
following extract from the Goshen
Democrat last Tuesday serves excel
lent purpose:
