GREAT LOSS OF LIFE IN STAG
CANON NINE SAY EXPERTS.
fffty-fOur Bodies Removed From
Mine and Work of Searching for
Victims Goes On-TwO of Rescue
Squad Die Like Heroes.

Dawson. y. NJ, Oct. 24.-Fifty -four
bodies had been recovered from the
chambers of Stag Canon mine No. 2,
two deaths had been added to the
mines total and government experts
now in charge of the rescue work
concede that 209 bodies still are with
in the gas filled chambers. Thirty
six bodies already have been buried,
union service for all taking place
late today. The work of searching
for bodies still is going on but hope
that more of the entombed miners
will be rescued alive has been aban-
dond.
The two deaths added to the list
today were those Of James Lurdi and
William Poisi. members of q rescue
squad which entered the mine in the
early morning. They did not return
and ii 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 add
ed deaths the men who had been do
ing the rescue work refused to go
back into the mine but 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 bleadership of
j. c. Roberts.
The funeral service over the re-
covered bodies was simple. Father
a. c. Collier of Springer. n. NJ. read
the service over the remains of men
of the Roman Catholic faith, while
for the others the Rev. III. NJ. Shields
camp chaplin, read the Episcopal
burial service. Six other bodies will
be buried tomorrow.
Walter Douglas. general manager
OF Phelps, Dodge & Co., which con-
trolls the Stag Canon Fuel company,
tonight expressed his view as to the
cause of the explosion. He said gas
is known 10 nave existed in vein
OF coal just above the one in which
the company was working and that it
had been known to fill the Stag Canon
mine when that part of the mine roof
gave way. Mr. Douglas believes that
some time Wednesday q small part of
the roof dropped. permitting methane
gas-fire damp-to penetrate into
several rooms or chambers of the
mine and that subsequently some per-
son with an unprotected lamp enter
ed the pocket in which the gas anu
dust had accumulated.
Chief Roberts of the government
service agrees with Mr.. Douglas as Ia
the probabel cause, but said it was
only a guess.

ONE GREAT BANK.
NEW PLAN FOR CURRENCY RE-
FORM SYSTEM.
President Nandcrlip &c National City
Bank of New York Presents Plan
for Establishing a Central National
Bank TO be Controlled and Operated
by the Government.

Washington, Oct. 23.-A govern
ment-controlled and operated central
bank to dominate the financial system
of the country today entered the leg
islative arena as rival Of the Ameri-
can regional reserve currency plan.
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
National City Bank Of New York, ex-
planned the new plan to the senate
banking and currency committee. He
had evolved the scheme as q result
of conferences with members of the
committee.
Under his proposal the government,
through a board of seven members,
appointed for terms OF IA years and
receiving salaries of $4,000 or s17,-
/0O a year, would establish a huge
bank with 100000, 600 capital, which
would control financial conditions by
powers conferred on it to issue money,
to redisount commercial paper for
banks and to concentrate the coun-
try's gold reserve.
Mr.. Vanderlip suggested that if pos
sible the stock OF this institution
should be held by the public as in
vestment security. The stock would
nave no voice in the banks control
which all circumstances would rest
entirely with the government. Mr..
Vanderlip pointed out that his bill
I differed from the administration in
that it absolutely eliminated the
banks from participating in the ad-
ministration of a system which will
control the issue OF currency.
In the pending bill the banks would
own the stock and elect six of the nine
directors of the regional reserve
banks, which would issue currency,
make rediscounts and hold bank re-
serves under the control of the federal
reserve board. The ,Vanderlip plan
| differed from the socalled Aldrich
plan proposed by the national none
.tary commission. in, that the latter
provided for a central and subsidiary
banks owned and controlled by the
member banks themselves.
Senators BristOw, Reed, O'Gorman
and Hitchcock of the committee to-
night expressed themselves as in ia
vor of the principle embraced in the
Vanderlip plan.
The Vanderlip plan undoubtedly
will be taken up by the committee,
in view Of the presidents concession
in reducing the number of regional
reserve banks without altering the
administration in principle.
Mr.. Vanderlip said he favored such
plan because he believed it would
operate to prevent a concentration of
credit and money.
Mr.. Vanderlip said he had talked
over his plan with a few bankers and
that they favored it.
do you think bankers generally
would accept it or would we have an
other Boston convention if We adopted
it?" asked Senator Reed.
Il think bankers generally would
be somewhat shocked at first by the
idea of absolute government control"
answered Mr.. Vanderlip, but 1 think
when they understand the safeguards
thrown about the appointment of the
controlling board and the quality of
men who would no pap,ad tbax, would
accept it with great favor"

DRIFTING TOWARD WAR.
INTERVENTION IN MEXICO MAY
BE UNAVOIDABLE.
Situation Grows More Serious Daily
and United States May be Forced
to Take Drastic Action-Enrland
Pursuing Policy that Causes Dis
satisfaction I'm Washington.

Washington. Oct 23.-An atmos-
phere of gravity and sombre silence
here tonight enveloped the Mexican
situation not only with regard to the
dissatisfaction of the United States at
Great Britains attitude, but as to the
critical state OF affairs i'm Mexico City
as the election OF October 26 draws
near.
There were no tangible develop
ments tut an incident OF the day
which official Washington interpreted
ominously was President Wilson's fiat
refusal To discuss Mexico or any phase
OF the problem when he met the
Washington correspondents i'm their
usual semi-weekly conference. The
president always had discussed in
formally and unofficially matters Of
international conseQ uence. giving the
general status OF affairs. Today he
asked to be excused.
Secretary Bryan showed equal ret
icence. The conclusion drawn gem
orally was that a crisis was slowly
approaching: that the arrival of Gen.
Felix Diaz appeared TO complicate in
ternal affairs i'm Mexico and that stern
measures by the Washington govern
ment would not he surprising.
For the first time during the talk OF
recess or adjournment of congress the
Mexican situation was injected as q
reason for keeping congress in ses-
sion and i'm administration circles ii
was admitted that il was not the cur
rency problem alone which made il
advisable, for members TO stay in
Washington. 1t became apparent that
Great Britain's failure to repudiate
the action OF Sir Lionel Garden, Brit
ish minister to Mexico. who prese nted
his credentials Immediately after HUI
erta proclaimed his dictatorship, had
caused Washington officials to feel
they no longer could depend on the
4 helpsof England in solving the Mexi-
'ean' pFobrehf ana that henceforth the
United States would go forward sin
giehanded. IL necessary, in firm and
aggressive policy.
Whether this will be revealed in n
declaration by the United States of it's
intention as the nearest neighbor" of
Mexico to take such steps as will COM
pose the situation. has not yet ma
teri,,lized. but many officials believe
the Washington government will soon
assert itself i'm a manner that will be
tantamoup- 20 a notice to Europe gem
erally tina, interference in Mexico by
foreign powers is not desired by this
country.
Tho attitude of some of the admin
istration officials. hitherto advocates
OF a policy Of moral suasion, was de-
cldedly pessimistic today, and they
reluctantly admitted that the United
states government might take drastic
steps
Though officials do not discuss the
British attitude i'm any way, persons
close to the administration say the
policy of Great Britain has created
an embarrassing situation with an
ever increasing tension. IL Is not like
ly that Ambassador Page and the
British foreign minister will discuss
Mexico until after the elections Of
October 26.
