Flag Captured in War
With Mexico Is on
Exhibit at Telegraph

There is exhibited in the window of
the Telegraph to-day a Mexican flag
captured by Samuel Roller of Dun
cannon, privct1 iIi Company G., Sec
ond Pennsylvania Infantry Volunteers,
Lieutenant-Colonel Geary. September
10, 1S47, at the Belen Gate, City of
Mexico. when General Winfield Scott
took that city.
This flag is now owned by S. B.
Shelter, prominent merchant of Dun
cannon. who has kindly loaned it to
the Telegraph for a few days. 1t is an
interesting reminder of the part which
fennsyiVanlanS took in that famous
struggle of siXty-seven years ago.
The present national flag of Mexico,
with Its white for purity, green for
union and red for independence, stands
Tor the three articles of national faith
adopted at the end of Spanish rule and
establishment of independence under
the treaty of Cordoba, 1892. The de-
vice of the eagle and serpent on a
cactus bush refers to an old story
connected with the settlement of the
old Aztec tribes on the plateau.
1t is interesting in connection with
this relic OF that first Mexican war to
recall that General Scott on September
and 13 had 1,1S0 men. He lost in
killed and wounded f,1S0 General
'h'e <tiitlI heth tiiIIiy qua thousand
men behind stone walls and entrench-
ments. More than 1000 Of these we're
killed and wounded and $3.50 taken
prisoners. One-seventh of these were
officers, including thirteen generals
and three presidents. There was cap
tured twenty colors and standards.
seventy-five pieces of ordnance. fiftv-
seven wall pieces, twenty thousand
small arms. and immense stores of
shot shells and powder. The Mexican
guns were manned by Frenchmen.

IBAER DEATH HALTS
| CHANGES TALKED Of
IN PEN|VA. STEEL CO.
Not Denied That Pittsburgher Will
Harmoniously Assume Control;
the Wages May Fall

Three points of interest hold the
steel worlds attention this week--the
reported change in management of
the PENNSYLVANIA steel Company,
which, while not altogether denied, is
officially called premature; the price
recession OH billets. and the prophe-
swing of wage reductions.
Regarding the report about Bonner
taking over the PENNSYLVANIA Steel
Company, the Philadelphia News Blu
reau, financial publication, to-day
says:
THE reports from Pittsburgh as to
changes in the personnel of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company officers are
premature. AS was announced last
week, some changes IN the admins
tration of the affairs of the company
are in contemplation and will probably
be announced at the annual meeting
next month. Tentative plans have
been modified by the death of Mr..
Baer. who was a director of the COM
pany and who took great interest in
the management of the property.

Washington. April 29.-with the
advent of the mediation proceedings
upon the Mexican stage there comes a
halt in the march of events. For a
period, at least, there is time to pause
and catch breath.
This respite should be used in set

concerns the handling Of the fateful

of change, how urgent it is not the
part of wisdom to tell at this time.
But some facts can be stated and
should be, before it is too late.
The plain truth is that President
Wilson. whose entire training has
been to make him least efficient in a
time like this, will neither take ad-
vice nor even consult with advisers.

178 MEN REMAINING
IN |LL-FATED MINE
MAY BE RESCUED
Eight Bodies Have Been Recov-
cred From Workings at
Eecles, W. Va.
RESCUE PARTIES AT WORK
Sixty-seven Men, Many of Them
Burned Taken From Mine
Alive
RESCUE PARTIES AT WORK

Eccles, w. Va, April 29.-Hope that
some of the lis miners. imprisoned in
Mine No. 5 of the New River Collieries
Company. wreck with Mine No.6 by
an explosion yesterday, might still be
alive stirred the throng on the noun
tainside shortly before noon. 4 rescue
party, driven out of No. 3. reported
they had heard sounds as of digging
beyond the barriers of debris choking
the connecting entry. a party of fresh
miners was hurried into the entry and
they attacked the fallen mass of rocks
with renewed vigor.
Eight bodies have been recovered
from shaft No. 6 and siXty-seven men
were taken out alive.
y rescue party was dropped down
shaft No. soon after S o'clock and
got within 129 feet of the bottom
There the progress of the cage was
stopped by broken and twisted tim
bers and heavy fall of earth. Work
was commenced clearing away the de-
bris. and it was thought the bottom
could be reached this afternoon.
No gas was detected on this level
and mining experts expressed the be-
lief the mine was not on fire.
Governor H. d. Hatfield, of West
Virginia. is in charge of the relief
work, while Earl Henry. chief of the
State Department of Mines, and II. c.
Bayles, general manager of the col
lieries company, are leading the res
cue crews.
The entrances to the mines are far
apart, but the workings join under
ground. When the dust exploded in
mine No. ) the fumes entered No
shaft and there the eleven known
dead were killed. Prompt measures
taken by Superintendent Thomas
Donaldson resulted in the rescue of
81 A. IL.
those rescued are burned severely and
improvised hospitals here and at
Beckley are crowded.
When it was found No. was burn
ing the entrance was closed and the
entrances 10 No. o workings were
brstticed. The task of finding the
bodies in No. shaft must wait until
the flames have been eXtinguished
Most of the miners are American
horn. although there are quite a num-
her of foreign born workers. OF the
bodies recovered eight were white
Americans, one negro and two foreign
born.
The explosion was terrific. A rum
bling noise was heard through the
town and as residents rushed to the
entrances of the mines, timbers, pieces
of cars and other debris shot from the
mouth of No. D shaft.
Many of those rescued said they
were overcome by the gas fumes be-
fore they knew what had happened.
The first man to leave the mine shafts
climbed to the surface of No. 6 hand
overland on a rope.
Two carloads of coffins ordered last
night from Cincinnati are being
brought here during the day.
Chief Henry made a trip in the M
6 workings after midnight this morn
ing and found much debris. Efforts
will be made to effect an entrance to
No. shaft to-day.

council has the power to compel the

pose in this scheme a land-locked

She said:
Among the working people today
there is a crying need for cheaper

RESIDENTS OF SOUTH SIDE
PROTEST |: C. LAND DEAL
The Illinois CentraPs land contract
with the South Park commissioners
came before the council harbors sub
committee yesterday.
Aid. Jacob Hey and Asst Corpora
ton Counsel Skinner both told Rob-
ert w. Redfeld, attorney for the
South Park board, that the city gets
the short end of the deal proposed.
George A. Flyers, retired business
man, who stated he represented 5000
south side property owners, declared
there is no more reason for the city
council now to make application to
the sec'y of war for a harbor permit
than there was two years ago.
1.-THE scheme for lake front beauty
before us is practically the same as
that which has been discredited by
the people of Chicago and by official
action of the city council said Hy-
ers. "On May Is, 1911, the council
unanimously passed resolution in
structing the corporation counsel to
appear before the sec'y of war when
the lake front matter came up and
protest against the war department
granting any permit to the South
Park board. This is the only action
needed to make valid the contract be-
tween the l. C., and the park board.

refused and he will continue to refuse
