Finleyville. Pa.-The State and county
authorities are conducting a rigid inves-
tigation into the cause of the mine ex.
plosion here, which resulted in more
than 100 men losing their lives. Chief
Mine Inspector James E. Roderick has
issued a statement which is sensational
in character He estimates the number
of dead at 100. and declares that the ex-
plosion evidently resulted from more
than carelessness. The fact that the
fire boss records were put under lock
and key. while other papers bearing di-
rectly upon the operation of the mine,
were. it has been alleged, removed from
the mine ofice. has given the matter a
serious appearance President Van Bitt-
ner of the Pittsburg district, United
Mine Workers of America, declares that
the dead will total $50. and is aiding the
investigators. The chief mine inspector
asserted that he would appoint two COM
missions to investigate. one to be COM
posed of five State mine inspectors and
the other to be composed of three expert

BOSTON TELEPHONE GIRLS.

Boston-It will be remembered that a
compromise settlement recently was
reached between the telephone company,
operating in this city and surrounding
territory. and its operators. The tenta-
tive settlement was based upon the bon

the employees at the end of the year. The
telephone operators became very much
dissatisfied. and now the telephone COM
pany has agreed to abolish the objection
able bonus system and grant the in
crease in wages at first demanded by the
operators. The telephone company has
issued a statement in which It AYERS

fective June l, 1918. under which. after

were offered by the company, which fin

light PLANTS
CANNOT Merge
WITHOUT Fight
such SITUATION In MACON
AmeriCuS Case Probably Upon
Different Status

Interest in Americus attaches to the
proposed consolidation or merging of
interests of Macon's two lighting
plants, as there is opposition thereto,
and a hot fight is expected before the
railroad commission. While no petit
ton for increasing rates in Macon has
been filed with the railroad commits
sion as a result of the announced
amalgamation of the two power COM
panies there, information Is to the
filed shortly
When the rate war opened up IN
Macon as result of competition, the
railroad at that time wrote parties
in Macon in reply to letters or tnqiry
that any agreement putting in lower
rate than that fixed by the commits
sion would become fixed rates and
not subject to change, without express
permission of the commission.
Therefore, when the actual applica-
Ition4for increased rates is filed it may
be expected that hot fight will be
precipitated. Some have called atten-
ton to a provision in the constitution
which promises to prove 4 serious
stumbling block in the way of this
merger and in getting rates lifted
Paragraph 4, section 2, article of thu
constitution says:
"The general assembly of the state
shall have no power to authorize any
corporation to buy shares or stock in
any other corporation in the state or
elsewhere or to make any contract OF
agreement whatever with any such
corporation, which may have the eff
feet to defeat or lessen competition in
their respective businesses, and all
such contracts and agreements shall
be illegal and void"
1t is possible that this provision viii
be raised and it would open an inter
esting issue The railroad commits
sion is given rather sweeping author
ity under the general order No Il,
and it is not improbable that when ap-
plication is made for increasing rates
that it will ask for a showing as 10
the terms of the merger and surround
ing facts.

Bryan Declines To Make Any State
ment on Situati0n.-Cruiser Ches-
ter Ordered to Vera Cruz.

Paris, Nov. 5.-The French foreig
office today was asked informally by
the Mexican foreign office, if it was
disposed to mediate between the
United States and Mexico.
The French government has taken
the attitude that it will do nothing
until further advised as to the policy
of the United States towards Mexico
and then nothing which might be un-
welcome.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-11-06

Washington, D. c., Nov. 5.-State
department officials take the position
that the action of the French foreign
office refraining from indicating
whether it was disposed to mediate
between Mexico and the Unite
States Is another evidence OF the in
tention of France to defer to the poi
icy of the United States in the Mexican
situation. Secretary Bryan said of the
Paris dispatch:
''In the absence of official adyices
from the French foreign office, l am
unwilling to make any comment"
France was among the first of the
European governments to accede ID
the request of the United States TO
defer action in the Mexican situation
until the Washington government had
formulated and announced its policy.
The scout cruiser Chester at the
Philadelphia navy yard was ordered
today to prepare to sail for Vera
Cruz Immediately. The Chester is
not heavy fighting ship, but swift
and valuable for dispatch and scout
duty. Of lighter draft than the big
warships now at Vera Cruz, she will
be able to join the smaller craft in
shore.
The French ambassador here, Jules
Jusserand, has received no instruc-
tions from his government to take any
steps toward mediation between the
United States and Mexico, though the
embassy would be the natural char
mel for such steps.
If the French government were TO
decide to use it's good offices at this
stage the usual procedure would be
for Ambassador Jusserand to sound
Secretary Bryan to first learn wheth-
er such overtures would be favorably
received.
The powers have been sufficiently
Informed of the infiexible determi-
nation OF President Wilson to accom-
plish the retirement of Provision Il
President Huerta to assure them that
any proposed mediation doubtless
would be based upon that understand
ing and would be shaped toward conf
posing the situation in way that
!. Huerta himself might be disposed tn
accept.
Some officials feel that other steps
may be developed before tangible
move might be made toward media
ton.
