The Latest
From Mexico

Washington, May 20.-The general
slacRening of tension in the Mexican
situation resulted today in the con-
sideration of plans at the nevy de-
partment which included the withdraw
al of part of the fleet now on the east
coast of Mexico
Acting Secretary Roosevelt said he
hoped within a week to have four bat
tleships, five destroyers and a tender
'on ,the way north. Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
planned that the condition of tho ships
which have been in Mexican waters
since the beginning of the trouble
made it necessarythat they BID brought
back "for efficiency reasons" He
said that the situation was such that
the ships could be brought back, and a
division at time relieved from duty
IN Mexican waters to give an opportu-
nifty for overhauling and repairs. If
necessary he said, arrangements could
be made TO replace the ships with
drawn.

Sheriff Jones'
Brother Killed

EUREKA, May 15.-Isaac Jones OF
logan, Utah, brother of Sheriff
Jones. Of Blackfoot, Idaho, is dead,
Leland Whitehead is seriously, if not
fatally, hurt and ten other miners are
more or less badly injured as the re-
suit 'of seventy-fivcfoot drop of the
cage in the Eagle and Blue Bell mine
here this morning.
The men were going down to the
1900 level on the first shift and had
been lowered in the cage but thirty
feet when the clutch broke and the
elevator started headlong toward the
bottom of the shaft with the miners
helpless to save themselves.
Engineer William Gourley noticed
the rapid increase in the speed at
which the cable was paying out and
instantly suspecting that something
was wrong, applied the emergency
brakes. The cage was brought to q
sudden and jarring stop and the
twelve occupants were thrown vio-
lemtly to the floor, Jones falling be-
meath several Of tho men and suffer-
ing bruises and contusions all over
his body. Whitehead sustained bruis<s q
a mashed arm and probable internal
injuries. He will be taken to a Salt
Lake hospital tomorrow.
Jones, who came here but five days
ago from Logan, was going to work
for the first time when the accident
happened.
1t is generally conceded here that
BUT for the prompt action of Engi-
neer Gourley all twelve miners would
have BEEN dashed to death at the
bottom OF the shaft. Officials .of the
mine refuse to give out any details
of the accident, excepting the names Of
those who were in the cage
Sheriff Jones and wife left last
Monday for Logan, where his bro
Nher was buried 'on Tuesday. De-
ceased was widower, sixty-one
years of age, and leaves six grown
children and number of grandchild.
