Bedlin. April e9.-The aid OF the
European powers is being sought TO
induce President Wilson TO recede
from his position that "Huerta must

powers. according TO reports here
today.
This is deemed TO indicate that the
three South American governments,
who have preferred their services as
mediators have found 1t impossible
to convince Huerta that he should
abdicate in the interests OF peace.
Washington. April 2S.-The Next
can crisis now is centered on the is
sue between those who are seeking
through the good Offices and inter
mediation OF Latin-America to find
some middle ground for pacific ad'
justment. and those who regard n re
sort TO arms as an inevitable conse

Throughout the day two distinct
branches of activity were manifest
here-that of the ENJOYS of Argen
tina. Brazil and Chile in formulating
a plan of adjustment to be submitted
TO the United States and the Huefta
regime. and that of the military and
naval forces OF the United States
which continue to go forward steadi
ly in preparation of any eventually
which may develop.

Eight bodies have been recovered

are In serious condition.
Eccles. w Va, April 2s.-Four
miners are known TO be dead. SO
we're rescued. many OF them severe
~ burned and 203 others are entomb
ed in two burning mines and are be-
lieved 10 have but a small chance

Is said all but 10 OF the miners who
entered this shaft early yesterday
have been accounted for. ono hun
dred and ninety of the entombed
men are in shaft No. 5, not a man
having escaped from this shaft
since the explosion at 2.30 p. m. The
mine was burning fiercely. with gov
eminent. state and voluntee. rescu-
ers working desperately last night to
subdue the flames.
The depth OF the two main shafts
is COO feet and the mines are con-
nected underground. There are two
other shafts into the mines, but the
explosion totally wrecked three out
OF four. The lone entrance leads in
to mine No. and by means of it the
rescues we're made. No. mine APP
parently is completely shut off from
the surface and rescuers held little
hope OF reaching the large number
of men in time.
The explosion occurred in mine
No. 5. The two shafts of this mine
were demolished. 1t is believed the
explosion Travelled through this mine
into No. G. One shaft of the latter
mine was wrecked, but the other re-
mains intact and was the salvation
of at least SO of the workmen.
For a time the steadily growing
crowd of frightened women and chill
dren waited in suspense, but soon
the signal came to hoist away and
the cage appeared. Il bore two men
badly hurt, q few OF the rescue pai
~ and two bodies. Other trips we're
made as rapidly as possible. and

I'll GO men had been brought up, four
of whom were dead. The injured
were assisted to nearby houses,
where physicians waited to care for
them. The rescued men expressed
doubt that any of the 13 miners still
in No. 6 shaft would be taken out
alive. Some of the men stated thar
portions of No. 5 mine we're badly
wrecked and they believed that the
entrance connecting with No. 5 mine
had been completely destroyed OF
the bodies recovered two are Ameri.
cans, one foreigner and the fourth
a Negro. a large portion of the
miners employed are Americans.

of Magistrates established headquar-
tiers, generally located, where statistics
are kept and from which all returns on
appeals taken from magistrates are
made 1t was a fortunate thing for
the City Of New York TO obtain the eX-
cellent services of a man like MCAdOO,
who has served in wide range of posi-
tions. Under his supervision the chief
probation officer has installed a pro-
baton system which is a vast improve
ment over the work of the old regime.
The new system will probably be i'm
proved from time To time but has al
ready reformed probation work and en-
abled first offenders 10 be made into
useful citizens.
As Judge McAdoo has pointed out, we
can fine or otherwise punish a man who
has pleaded guilty Of a misdemeaenOr
of a certain class, but we cannot try
him for the offence under a plea of not
guilty. A magistrate, while cOnsiderol
able to deal with minor offences, is pre-
supposed by the present system not to

has been Of incalculable value. while the
Mems Night Court has been equally
useful-a material advance in the quick
and efficient handling of minor cases.
The professional bOndsman, in fact, has
suffered from the Mems and Womens
night courts. where the assurance of a
comparatively quick trial eliminates in
many cases the necessity for bail y

cadet. whose life was recently por-
trayed in a lurid light by popular
white slave dramas, has likewise sut-

only as stimulus for them 10 go out

set for the handling of cases having e
do with the different departments. A
considerable percentage Of the cases
that come before the city magistrates
have to do with violations Of the Ordl-
nanccs of the different municipal de-
partments as many as three hundred
cases sometimes being disposed of in
a single day. Few men work harder
than the average city magistrate, yet
it is obviously impossible for him to
give the cases the attention they de
mand. As the fines from the mag
istrates' courts last year paid more
than half of the actual upkeep and eN
penses of these courts. a state of af-
fairs that ! believe does not apply in
any other court in the world, the pub
lie ought not to bcgrudc the additional
expense involved in the establishment
of an ordinance court of the sort sug-
gestod.
Prior TO 1910 there was no night
court, no women's court, no court of
domestic relations, and but little cf-
ficient work done by probation officers.
It is therefore easy to see the advance

Of this, which is ably described by
Chief city Magistrate McAdoo in his
report.
