Secretary Tumulty announced thai
the president had ordered troops tC
the state upon the urgent request OF
Governor Ammons and of Colorado
senators and representatives.
In letter to Governor Ammons
Mr.. Wilson said:
I shall not, by the use of the troops,
or by any attempt at Jurisdiction, in.
ment into the controversy, which has
produced the present situation. The
settlement Of that controversy falls
strictly within the field of state power
My duty, as l now see it, is to conf1ne
myself to maintaining a status of
good order until the state can reassert
it's authority and resume the enforce
ment thereof.
I am informed that your legislature
cannot be convened in time to deal
with this emergency, but has been
summoned to convene on May fourth,
nineteen fourteen. I shall expect you
to draw the attention of that body to
the imperative necessity Of immediate
consideration of the whole situation
and as prompt action as is possible in
the premises, in order that the use of
the federal power may be limited
within its contemplated confines and
in order that the state may take up
its duty as soon as it is possible for
1t 0 10 so.
The manifest disadvantages of hav-
ing two military forces under sepa-
rate sources of control, operating
within the same localities, leads me
to request you to withdraw your mill
tia as soon as the troops of the United
ready to take over the necessary con-
troll
The issuance Of the proclamation
followed a conference in which Rep
resentative Foster of Illinois reported
to the president his failure to obtain
any concession from John D. Rookie
teller, Jr., toward a settlement of the
strike.
The attitude of the Rockefellers has
aroused much resentment in congress.
Representative Bryan of Washington,
Progressive, introduced in the house
this afternoon bill proposing that the
government take over the property of
the Rockefellers in the Colorado min
ing district as a means of ending the
strike The mines would be operated
on a comprehensive government own
ership plan, which is outlined in the
bill.

Refugees Leave Under Escort.

San Diego, Cal, May MILITARY es-
corts were provided on the trains car
rying refugees from Guadalajara and
Colima, but the soldiers made no eff
forts to stop anti-American demonstra-
lions at the stations en- route. The
Americans were searched by officers
and all firearms and silver money in
their possession were confiscated. The

stead of agreeing to rest on their arms
pending negotiations, are marching on
Tampico with artillery and are on the
verge Of beginning a campaign against
Huerta from Monterey to the Mexi-
can capital. The first point of attack
by the constitutionalists will be Sal
tillo, where Huerta is massing his
troops. This appears to be Gen. Car
ranza's answer to the request of the
mediators that he agree to the pacif-
cation of Mexico by mediation.
Big Appropriation Asked.
It was authoritatively learned Fri
day that Charge O'Shaughnessy, now
at Vera Cruz, was expected to return
to the United States within the next
few days for a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson and state department Of
ficials.
That permanent peace with Mexico
is not expected to result from the
present mediation negotiations was in
Dictated Friday by the request that the
appropriations in the army bill total
ing upward of 800, 100000 be made
Immediately available. The bill, now
in the hands of the president, carries
appropriations available after June l.
a joint resolution has been intro
duced by Representative Hay, chair
man of the house military affairs com
mittee, making the money immediate
ly available. This resolution has the
approval of President Wilson. A SINH
laF rider is expected to be attached to
the naval appropriation bill now IN
der consideration in congress.
This action is in line with all of the
precautions that are being taken by
this government. Nothing is to be left
undone to have the armed forces in a
state of complete preparedness if the
mediators finally report they cannot
bring about an agreement. It is ad-
mitted that if the questions in dispute
were those between the United States
and Huerta at the time the big battle
ship fleet was ordered south, speedy
settlement could be reached. Huerta
has made it plain in unofficial negotia-
lions with representatives of the en-
voys that he is willing to salute the
flag Internationally if the United
States forces are withdrawn from
Vera Cruz. He has been told, how
ever, that things have gone too far,
and that now the United States insists
that he must eliminate himself.

Manager H. c. Bayles of the New
River Galleries company announced
that the 100 miners entombed in mine
No. 5, wrecked by an explosion Tues
day, are dead. Mr. Bayles said the
disaster was due to dust explosion.
Eccles, W. Va, April 30.-All hope
for the rescue alive of the 203 miners
entombed by an explosion in mines
Nos. 5 and of the New River Col
Heries company here Tuesday, was
abandoned.
Rescuers were unable to force their
way into the burning shafts. Fifty
nine men, all burned severely, were
rescued alive from No 6 mine and
are receiving medical treatment in i'm
proVised hospitals. Four bodies we're
recovered from the same shaft.
1t is said all but IS Of the miners
who entered this shaft have been ac-
counted for
One hundred and ninety of the en-
tombed men are in shaft No. 5, not a
man having escaped from this part
since the explosion at 2:30 o'clock
p. ii.
The mine is burning fercely. Gov
eminent, state and volunteer rescuers
are working desperately to subdue
the flames.
No mine apparently is completely
shut off from the surface and rescuers
hold out little hope of reaching the
large number of men entombed there
in time
The explosion occurred in mine No.
3. The two shafts of this mine we're
demolished. It is believed the explo-
sion Travelled through this mine into
No. 6. One shaft of the latter mine
was wrecked, but the other remains
intact and was the salvation of at
least f1fty-nine of the workmen.
The cause of the explosion has not
been ascertained, and perhaps will
never be known. The New River com
pany operates six mines at EccIes.
Nos. 6 and 5 connect. At 2:30 in the
afternoon there was a slight explosion
in No. 6, followed by another slightly
greater shock in No, 5 ten minutes Ia
ter, and shortly after the valley shook
with the third blast in No. 6. The tim
bers over the main shaft, the ventila-
tors and the cages were shot to the
sky and deposited far up the hillside.
The Virginian railway suspended
traffic and rushed a rescue crew of the
Pawama Coal & Coke company at Mat
oaks, several miles away, with a num-
Der of physicians and nurses.
The superintendent also called for
help from Beckley, another point on
the Virginia railroad, but the Matoaks
crew, in charge of the federal mine
rescue car, were the first to arrive.

Huerta and RIanuuet ouarrel.

Mexico City, May 2.-It is reported
here that Sir Lionel Garden, the Brit
ish minister, has taken up with Huerta
the suggestion that he should retire
pending the attempt at mediation.
Huerta is said to have agreed to this,
providing Sir Lionel Garden would
guarantee his safety. Gen. Banquet,
the war minister, objected and Huerta
is now the object of espionage by the
cabinet as well as by rebels. Huerta
has had a serious quarrel with Blan-
quet, who is Selling all automobiles
and is preparing to make last stand
in the ciudadela. If driven to the last
ditch Huerta may move his capital to
Puebla and thence if it gets too hot
for him to Oaxaca.

SANDY SOIL FOR ASPARAGUS.
Item of Fertilizer Is One of Gigantic
mportance-PIants Should Be
One Year Old.
CRv FRANK I. DAVIS

Asparagus requires a deep, sandy
black loan soil, the deeper the bet
ter; subsoil of a porous nature and
we'll tile-drained.
The item of fertilizer is one of gi-
gantic Importance. Fertilizer in some
form must be procured in liberal guam
titles. Asparagus is not dainty feed
er; it devours alike the fine ground
bone of commerce, and the dead cat
picked up in the back alley.
In starting a family asparagus bed,
piow the ground at least six inches
deep. The plants should be one year
old, set in rows three feet apart, and
Is inches apart in the row.
Dig the holes for the plants large
enough to receive the roots in their
natural position, and eight inches
deep; firm the earth well over the
plants.
Two hundred will supply good
sized family al they can use. Guilt
vate and fertilize well for two years
before cutting, and you will have
plenty of good asparagus

ALFALFA HAY FOR THE HOGS
Where Good Quality of Fourth Cut
ting Is Not ObtainabIe Feed Fin
est and Brightest Possible.
By w. P. sNYDERD

After studying for several years,
the problem of feeding alfalfa hay to
hogs, the following is recommended:
Feed a good. quantity of fourth cut
ting if possible. If this cannot be OBJ
tanned, feed the finest and brightest
hay obtainable. Feed the hay in a
rack from which it may be eaten cas-
lily, or feed twice or three times daily,
on hard soil or feeding floor, throw
ing aside all refuse left over from the
last feed. Give the hogs an abundance
of alfalfa. Do not try to make them
eat the coarse stems. They will eat
corn in preference and not eat as
much alfalfa as Is desirable. Feed
the coarse stems to the cattle and
horses.

Mexican Rebel Leader Re.
mains Big Obstacle III
Way Of Work Of
hGdi3tOrS.

Washington, MAJ All hope for
an armistice by Gen. CarTanza during
the mediation proceedings appears
shattered by the announcement from
the Argentina embassy that no word
concerning the armistiee had been
received from the constitutionalist
leader.
The A. B. c. mediators were in con-
ference until a late hour last night,
but as their whole program is practi-
cally based on a cessation of armed
conflict in Mexico, they have come to
a stone wall.
Carranza's prompt refusal to agree
to a neutral oil field zone at Tampieg
further indicates his intention to COM
tinue fighting despite the wishes of
the mediators. His refusal followed a
direct request from Secretary Bryan
after both the latter and the British
ambassador, Sir Spring Rice, had ap-
pealed to the rebel commander at

Keep the Soil Loose on Top.

Never allow the soil to become hard
and baked; stir it frequently and as
deeply as possible without disturbing
the roots. This will increase its ca
pacity to hold moisture, which is
very necessary to the welfare of the
plant. Soil around leaf crops must
he kept loose to cause them to grow
rapidly, which will make them ten
