MANY BODIES
Are Still Buried beneath Tons
of Rock More Than 1000
Feet from Mouth.
tBY Assee,ArEe PRGss,

HILLcREsT, Alberta, June o.
Government mine experts who con-
tinued today to search for the dead
in mine No. 90, Hillcrest Galleries,
Ltd, which was wrecked by an ex-
plosion entombing 1876 miners last Fri
day, said it was probable that 1O4
victims still in the mine were buried
beenath tons of rock more than 1000
feet from the mouth pit and that
some of the bodies never would be re-
covered. The majority of the ninety
one bodies already recovered were
burned beyond recognition and but
little effort was made to identify them.
AS quickly as collins we're available
the victims we're buried and with the
arrival today of 100 collins the bodies
will be inferred as rapidly as they are
brought to the surface.

PERSONAL VICTORY
FOR The PRESIDENT
Defeats House Organization on
Canal Tolls Repeal.

Washington, March 2S.-Woodrow
Wilson met the unbeaten leaders of
the house Democracy on their own
field and defeated them. Whatever
the merits of the Panama canal tolls
exemption, over the repeal of which
these men fought. the battle was a
personal one.
The merits of the case did not enter
into it. A vote against the adoption
of the rule to limit debate to twenty
hours-which was the immediate
point OF combat-was made clearly a
vote primarily against the leadership
OF the president and in favor of
Speaker Champ Clark and Representa-
tive Oscar w. Underwood. They
made the hardest fight they could and
lost.
President Wilson's triumph is con-
sidered most notable by the rank and
file Of all parties because of the I'M
usual alignment Of forces within the
Democratic ranks. Two men who
had sought with him the presidential
nomination at the hands of the party
--one the speaker of the house and
the other the floor leader of the domi-
nant party--were arrayed against him
openly and actively.
Mr.. Underwood broke for the first
time with the majority which has fol-
lowed him confidently in the past and
he failed. The DersOna]tv which in
duced the house to idolize him when
he attacked Bryan could not avail.
BY a vote of 207 to 176 the house or
dered the previous question on the
rule and wrote a date in political his
tory which will be heard Of often in
the future. The rule itself was adopt
ed, 200 to 172.

Chihuahua City, Mex. March 81
One thousand soldiers-some of them
women-lie dead in aud about blood
reeking Torreon. This is the estimate
placed on the results OF the six days
fighting between General Francisco
Villa, military leader of the Constitu.
tionalists, and the federal forces be.
fore that war racked city.
How far from the exact dead this
figure is probably eve will be known,
but from the reports brought in at
different times and a knowledge of
the terrific battling military authori.
ties here believed this would be the
awful truth revealed when the smoke
of firing ceases and an account of
the carnage is taken.
For six days the fight has been bit,
terest and the loss of life the heaviest
in recent history OF Mexico. Judging
from the meager press dispatches re-
ceived from the front and the stories
of horrible slaughter which were told
by many of the 5SS wounded veterans
of Torreon who are interned in hos
pitfalls here.
Constituencies sympathiZers and
rebel officers in Chihuahua again have
become anxious as to the fate of their
military leader and the remnants of
the 10000 men who marched to Tor
reon with him to engage in the revo-
lution'S first decisive battle. No
word from Villa came to relieve the
anxiety which obtained through Chi
huahua.
Reports that heavy r~einforcements
We're Fastening to relieve General Re
fugio Velasco. the federal commander
at Torreon, who has made such a re-
s%ourceful resistance against the reb-
els, were received here with mtsgiv-
ings. But it is the fact that no news
OF General Villas progress has been
had for many hours and that is re-
sponsible for the greatest anxiety as
to his fate.
When advantage has been with the
rebel leader in the past free access
to Geographic communication was
given newspaper correspondents at
the front, but when he met with re-
verses Villa would allow no news
sent over the wires.
