REVIVE HOPE
FOR SUCCESS
The Mediation Conference to
Continue.
VILLA REVOLT AS AN AID
Or. Naon Predicts Negotiations VIII
Be Continued Two Weeks-The
Friction Between carranza
and Villa.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-Instead of ad-
journing abruptly Saturday as had
been expected, the mediation proceed
ings will be prolonged for another
week.
The change was brought about as
result of the visit of Minister Naon,
of Argentina, to Washington, where he
conferred with President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan. DR.. Naon brought
back spirit of optimism and some
new ideas which he impaired to Am
bassador da Cana of Brazil and Minis
ter Suarez of Chile.
The determination which seems to
have been reached is to keep the
mediation board from formal adjourn
ment, though there may be recess in
another week or So while the search
is continued for persons eligible for
provisional president, according to the
ideas set forth in the conferences.
Although no definite plan has been
framed by the mediators and the
American and Huerta delegates were
unaware of the program except in a
general way, all parties expressed a
wish to prolong the negotiations and
make renewed efforts to effect COM
promise.
The Rebel Friction.
There is every reason to believe
that the friction between Carranza
and Villa and the report that General
Huerta intended to retire in favor of
Pedro Lascurain before the proceed
ings reached conclusion affected the
mediators ip their decision. The pos
sibility of developments on Mexican
soil in the immediate future, which
/ might change the entire aspect of the
problem here, has been taken into con-
slderation by the three South Ameri-
can diplomats.
| The suggestion that the mediators
waive for the time being the question
of personnel and make an effort to
agree on all the other parts of the
peace program is much in favor After
| it is complete the discussion would
revert to the names for the provisional
presidency. If no agreement were
reached all members of the mediation
colony would delight in a short recess
while the search for names was con-
tinued by the American and Mexican
delegates and the mediators attended
to their private business.

Fire Follows Explosion in a
Mine in Alberta.
ALL BE LIEVED TO BE DEAD
Even If The Men Escaped The Fire, 1t
ls Believed That They Were
Killed BY Poisonous Fumes
Or BY Falling Debris.

Calgary Alberta.-A mighty explo
sion Friday entombed $50 miners en-
ployed in Mine No. 20 of the Hillcrest
Galleries Ltd. Of the so miners res
cued only Il were living Friday night.
The effects of the disaster were:
Men in mine when explosion &C.
Cured, 600, of whom $50 escaped.
Number rescued, SO, of whom SO died
later.
Miners still entombed, 200, probably
persisted by fire which followed the ex-
| plosion,
The explOs sion, which occurred about
9 a. M, sh ook the country side for
miles around, lifted the roofs from
many miners cabins and demolished
numerous small buildings. A moment
after the explosion score of panic
stricken surface workers rushed from
the mine, FOLLOWED by dense cloud
of smoke and poisonous fumes.
| Appeals for help we're dispatched to
many towns and in the meantime resi-
dents organized an emergency crew
and began the work of rescue.
When the first rescue crew arrived
| large force of men set about to clear
the shaft working desperately as the
means Of the entombed men came fee
bly, from the mine. The means became
fainter and finally ceased. Thousands
of tons of rock have fallen into the
mine, and it is feared that the men,
even had they escaped death from the
poisonous fumes, probably were crush
ed to death by the falling debris.
| No inform a tion as to what caused
the explosion has been given, but it
| is believed it was due to the forming
of gases.
Thomas Quigley superintendent of
the mine is among those entombed.
Fire broke out soon after the explo-
sion, but almost Immediately died out,
although the gas fumes made it i'm
possible for the men to work effective
ly for several hours
The explosion tore out both ends of
the pit and block the interior of the
workings, making it almost impossible
to gain entrance. Most of the miners
were working about 400 feet inside the
mine.
A majority of the men are foreign
born, but large number of them are
English-speaking.

WIN. 3. WILSON HoNoRED.
NJ. A. C. Confers LID. On Labor Sec
rotary And J. M. Monroe.

College Park,-Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson discussed the prob
lem of capital and labor in his ad-
dress to the graduates of the Maryland
Agricultural College at the commence
ment exercises. The degree of doc
tor of laws was conferred upon him
by the board of trustees through Pres
ident Harry ]. Patterson. In his adj
dress he contended that the difficulty
in settling the capital and labor prob.
lem was the question of the proper
distribution of the worlds products. 1t
must be accomplished, Mr.. Wilson
said, through education. Labor and
capital must get together and settle
their differences of their own accord.
The Secretary declared that he was
not in favor of compulsory arbitra-
ton, because. as rule. neither side
was ever satisfied with the result.

MAN DEvOURED

Z. D. Dietrich, Aged rs, OF Brooklyn,
N. Y, the Vietim-Tragedy
Happens In the Heart
OF Chicago.

Chicago.-Emerson d. Dietrich, aged
rs, a graduate of Cornell University,
whose home was at SAP Bay Park,
Brooklyn, was torn to shreds and prac-
ucally eaten alive by five or six lions,
whose cage he had entered for the pur-
pose of feeding them.
There were 10 lions in the freight
car, located on sidetrack at Sixteenth
street and Indiana avenue, in the heart
Of the city, During the excitement
thousands of people returning from a
days outing were thrown into a con-
dition of panic by information that
some of the lions had escaped and
were being pursued by rife squads
from all the nearby police stations and
the Union Stock Yards.
Notwithstanding the peril hhmense
crowds surrounded the scene of 'he
tragedy until driven TO safety by the
police. who had been hastily sum-
moned from every direction.
Lion Cubs Escape.
While Dietrich was making his brief
and losing fight for life in the teeth
and claws of the ferocious beasts, five
lion cubs, each about the size of a
young bear or wolf hound, leaped from
the car and tried to slip away. George
McCord keeper of the animals, realiz-
ing the peril to the crowds on every
side, devoted all his energy to rounding
them up and returning them to the car,
which was accomplished without any
tragedy.
The ten lions are the property OF
Nine. Adzie Castillo. who is to open an
engagement in local theater in July.
Dietrich, who has been living at the
Morrison Hotel and who was connect
ed with the show, went to the car in
which the animals had been brought to
Chicago to feed them. This was short
ly before o'clock Keeper McCord,
who witnessed the tragedy, said:
Story OF Keeper.
Dietrich went into the den where
the six big lions are kept and fol
lowed him. Teddy the leader in the
attack upon Dietrich, started to play
with him and he ordered the beast to
lie down. Four of the lions were
facing him at the time, including
Teddy. Almost Immediately Teddy
skunk around behind Dietrich and in a
second was on his back. tearing and
clawing him frightfully. The others
Brutus. Nellie, jeff and Mutt then
joined in and what followed was awful

1t required an hours time and con
slant battling with the lions to re-
cover the remnants of Dietrich's body
Great quantities of formaldehyde were
shot into the cage. and the lions were
gradually forced into corner. A
leather belt was the only article OF
clothing left upon the remains. Even
the shoes were torn off.
