sion since Monday, discussing the con-
ditions of miners in Colorado, Ohio
and West Virginia.
The board ssued a statement advts-
ing against a general strike at this
particular time," but affirming in
strong terms it's support of the strik-
ing miners Of Colorado. The report
also condemned John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., who, it was asserted, could have
averted the loss of life and damage
to property in Colorado by saying zone
word, favoring a settlement through
a meeting between the representatives
of the coal companies and the striking
employees"
The report stated that hundreds Of
requests had been received urging the
calling of a general strike in the coal
mines of the country, but that it was
believed to be unwise to do so now
and adding that If conditions in Col
orado became worse the policy Of this

BUSINESS SUSPENDED IN NEW

TEGE TRAVERsEs STREETS.
President Wilson Voices the Nations
Grief at the Sacrifice Of the Lives
of Nineteen American Blue
Jackets and Marines.

New York.-More than a million
persons in New York City joined the
nation on Monday in memorializing
with simple dignity the heroism Of
the nineteen bluejackets and marines
who gave their lives at Vera Cruz.
AS the impressive funeral pageant
started on its solemn route from the
battery to the Brooklyn navy yard, 1t
was as If the pulse of the city had
temporarily stopped. All business
was suspended and over the CONNER
cial section of the city there fell 8
reverential suspense.
In the line of mourners that follow
ed the artillery caissons bearing the
dead were the chiefs of state and city
government and many more distin
guished men of nearly every calling,
but every eye in the throng turned
first to the carriage in which Presl-
dent Wilson rode close behind the
last funeral car. The president came
from Washington during the night and
was with the procession from the time
1t left the battery until the end of the
ceremony.
the Brooklyn navy yard were rela
tives of the dead sailors and marines
mothers, sisters and wives, but In all
the throng of monrners none seemed
more deeply touched than the man
whose word sent the lads of the navy
to fight for their country's honor, al
Vera Cruz.
And to the president was left the
privilege of voicing the nations grief
and the nations belief that those who
died in the performance of duty had
done for their country service moi
to be measured by their individual
deeds.
The feeling that is uppermost," he
said, is one of profound grief, and
yet there is mixed with that grief a
profound pride that they should have
gone as they did, and If may say ii
out Of my heart, touch of envy OIL
those who were permitted SO quietly
so nobly to do their duty"
The head of the nation looked out
over the thousands massed about the
coffins on the parade ground and his
voice shook with emotion as he De
clared his creed.
I'VE have gone down to Mexico.
he said, ito. serve mankind if we car
find ont a way. We do not want t.
fight the Mexieans. We want to serve
them"
There was wistful note in his voice
as he added:
Il never was under fire, but l fancy
there are some things just al
hard to do as to go under fire.
fancy that it is just as hard to d.
your duty when men are sneering a
you as when they are shooting at you
When they shoot at you they can onI,
take your natural life; when they
sneer as you they can wound you

PEACE PROSPECTS
GROWING BRIGHTER
MEDIAToRs HAVE PLAN WHICH
THEY BELIEVE WILL SETTLE
THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.
Contemplate the Elimination of Huerta
and Substitution Of Provisional
Government in Which All Fac
tions Will Be Represented.

Washington plan or which the
three South American mediators are
now working in an endeavor to solve
the Mexican problem, contemplates the
elimination of General Huerta and
the establishment Of provisional gov
eminent In Mexico in which both the
Huerta and the constitutionalist FAC
ton would be represented.
This, the first intimation as to the
details of the mediation plans, became
known Tuesday, although neither the
mediators nor state department offic-
ials would make any statement as TO
how nearly complete is the plan to be
submitted to American and Mexican
delegates when they meet the South
American ENJOYS at Niagara Fails,
Canada, next Monday.
It was learned the proposal might
be that the setting up of temporary
government be undertaken by COM
mission composed of five persons, two
of them to be named by Huerta, Two
by the constitutionalists and the hrtn
by the mediators.
Expressions of confidence that med
iation would be successful in avert
ing war between the United States
and Mexico came from several mem
bers of the cabinet Tuesday after Pres
ident Wilson had discussed the situa-
ton with his official family.
The president is decidedly hopeful.
He is anxious that no untoward incl
dents or indiscreet acts on the part OF
any of the forces in Mexico should de-
velop to cloud the horizon when the
mediation conference begins.

EARTHQUAKE AND ERUPTION
DESTROY SEVERAL VILLAGES
Territory Near Mount Etna Devas-
tated, 40 Being Killed and at
Least $50 Injured.

Catania. Sicily.-One hundred and
forty people killed and $50 injured
was the result Of an earthquake Fri
day night which destroyed several
villages near Mount Etna.
The affected zone extends from
Zaffarana, the highest village on
Mount Etna, to the sea between AGA
Reale on the south and Giarre on the
north. 1t includes Linera, the center
of the disturbance, Pisano and Santa
Venerina. In Linera alone ITO per
sons were killed and 300 injured. In
the village of Bongiardo, thirteen
dead and twenty-seven injured have
been taken from the ruins. At Cosen-
TIM sixteen were killed and many in
jured. These villages and many
smaller places were practically lev
eled
Automobiles which made the trip
through the devastated region were
often forced to make long detour,
owing to the deep assures across the
road.
The district presented a spectacle
of desolation. ruin and death. Peas
ants rushed to meet the automobiles,
imploring aid. Others asked that
their injured relatives be transported
to Catania, as all train service has
been abandoned, owing to the collapse
of bridges, broken tracks and OBJ
strncted tunnels.
For centuries this region has suf-
fered from earthquakes, owing to the
activity of Mount Etna. Yet it is
relatively thickly populated. as the
land is most fertile, vineyards grow.
