 Practically all hope of any of the 186 miners entombed in the ex~- plosion of mine number 5 being alive was abandoned this morn ing. Frantic efforts to rescue are still progressing but with little promise of ever entering the gas filled shaft before late this afternoon. The death total will reach two hundred and one- according to conservative estE- mates. Three are still unac- counted for in Mine Number G.. Twelve bodies were removed from this shaft, sixty rescued alive and twenty horribly burn ed. Two hundred women anA children are still hoping against hope and crowding about shaft this morning. An investigation of the disaster is expected t9 start this afternoon.

Our President.

How we'll he seems to have managed 1.-the whole sordid business of going to war; how fair he has been: how patient and how dignified, how infinite ly gentle and kind. No hustle, no threats, no snicker of antici- patton; no licking of the nations chops-just a simple souled, brave, soft-hearted, hard-head- ed man. It is sad enough to go into a war of any kind at any time; but less sad to go knowing that every honorable means has been taken to keep from war. And this consolation President Wilson has given us by his wise, forbearing, Christian attitude before the provocation of a foe mad and desperate and foolish.
 The good God, who knows all and watches over all, and directs all, was in our hearts deeper than we knew when as a nation we chose this great, serene soul tc lead us.-William Allen White.

 Less than 300 Americans, ac- cording to official dispatches, re- main in the city of Mexico, and most of these are expected to take the chances of war and stay.
 TJnconfrrned reports from the diplomats conducting the media tion efforts state that the minis ters taking part have asked both Mexico and United States to cease all military moves pending 3further negotiations.
 Further concentration of cav airy along the Mexican border was ordered today ond an addl- tional troop of the Tenth Cav airy was shifted to Naco, Arizo- na. At Douglas half of the Ninth cavalry are stationed.
 Secretary Wilson said today that the immigration bureau .forces at Galveston were over whelmed in attempting to ham, de the refugees arriving there. Extra inspectors were rushed ,there for three thousand refu- gees are entering the country through that port and two thou sand more are expected before Saturday.

D. Rockefeller, Jr., to arbi- trate the strike differences, in the Colorado coal mines of which he is the largest stockholder.
 They were arrested soon af- ter the picketing was started on the charge of obstructing the sidewalks.
 Dressed in mourning the five began to walk back and forth in front of the offices on Broadway saying nothing. A great crowd soon gathered but there was no disorder.
 Sinclair said that the proper place to mourn was before the offices, where it had been order eded to crush the labor unions. More mourners arrived at noon and resumed the picketing.

To aid in the peace negotiations between the United States and Mexico the European powers are seeking to persuade President Wilson to withdraw from his announced position that "Huer- la must go," which has also been requested by South Amerl- can diplomats.

Greasers Became Suspicious. By United Press.

Greasers Became Suspicious. By United Press.
 Vera Cruz, April 29.-Why Jim Montague-that is not his real name-had a strike of his Mexican miners, at Monterey goes like this:
 Yellow fever appeared in the city, and, of course, the first eff fort of the doctors was to guard against it's spread. They order ed champagne for those persons who were rich enough to afford it to increase heart action and thereby ward off chances of get ting the disease. For the Mex jean peons were ordered small doses of strychnine, and Monta- que, before his miners went to work of mornings, used to line them up in rows and have the mine doctors give each man a spoonful of a strychnine solu- tion.
 Word got about among the Mexicans that Montague was trying to poison his miners. One of the Mexicans by stealth got hold of the bottle of strych- nine to see what it was. A hundred Mexicans looked on while hungry dog ate a piece of meat over which the contents of a full bottle had been poured. A moment later a hundred Mex jeans saw a Chihuahua dog turn up it's toes and die.
 The strike began that night and it took two weeks for Mon- tague to prove that he was not a wholesale "gringo" poisoner.

Richest Troop Of The Army.

United Press Service.
 Vera Cruz, Mexico, April 29.- Among the cavalrymen down a. long the Rio Grande, waiting to come up here to the Mexican capital, if they get a chance, is Troop c of the 18th, the rich est troop in the army. It isn't made up of rich mems sons, either, but most of it's officers, including Captain Warren Dean and many of it's privates are business men.
 Just at present the troop has two acres of n1uskmelons plant ed, at Clint, Texas, owns 200 chickens, 20 hogs, has a COW and calf, all of which are or will be bringing money in for the troop mess. At last reports Dean was negotiating for a moving picture show in the small town of Clint, which would bring even more funds into the troop exchequer.
 The biggest and finest ball ever given by a troop along the Rio Grande, since the Mexican trouble started, was sponsored by Troop c. It cost $500 and folks attended from miles a.. round.
