MINERS BELIEVED DEAD
Chance of Rescung Alive Any of
Entombed Men Held Slim.

Eccles, W. Va, April 30.-Eforts to
penetrate mine No. 5 of the New
River Galleries company, wrecked
with mine No. by an explosion, are
progressing slowly.
The chance of rescuing alive any of
the 17S miners entombed in mine No
5 is slim. On account of the intense
heat and gases coming from the mine
expert miners have abandoned all
hopes. Parties of rescuers continue
the work OF clearing debris from the
ruined shaft and expect soon to know
the fate of the men.
The shaft guides of mine No. 5, by
which the cage is controlled, have
been badly damaged and must be re-
paired before the cage can be low
cred to the bottom of the shaft.
Thousands of persons visited the
scene of the disaster. The eight
bodies of the men who met death in
mine No. were prepared for burial,
and one, +. ]. Linge7man. was ship
ped to Trinidad, Colo his former
home. The 81 men injured in mine
No. 6 are all expected to recover.

VERA CRUZ IN CHARGE
OF AMERICAN ARMY
Navy ReIinquIShGS Control Today
With Fine Ceremonies.

Vera Cruz, April 30. - The United
States navy will turn Vera Cruz over
to the United States army this after
noon. General Fred Funston then
becomes commander of the forces
ashore, relieving Admiral Fletcher,
and Robert J. Kerr of Chicago and
Mexico City will become the active
head of the municipal government as
civil governor.
The ceremonies of transfer will be
impressive. 1t will take place in the
presence of paraded battalions Of
sailors and marines and paraded regi-
ments of infantrymen in the Plaza de
la Constitution. Admiral Fletcher
and his staff will confront General
Funston and his staff and a salute
will be fired as the strictly naval
flags give way to the army flags. The
soldiers and marines viii present
arms and the bands will play.
The transfer will take place earlier
than was expected, because the sol
diers have been able to fill the places
of sailors even more rapidly than 1t
was hoped for. The Decentralization
went on all morning, and as the sol
diers had no guard duty or patrol to
perform they were enabled to settle
themselves in barracks.

COUNCILMAN
WINTER QUITS

Council met i'll regular session last
Tuesday evening with all members pres
ent but Winter Mayor Rice presided.
Following the usual opening routine
J. r. Davis addressed the dads in behalf
of himself and the other pool room own
ers of the town, asking that they be per-
mitted to remain open an hour or two
later at night. The mayor sort of ac-
quiesced IN the move, but the dads
couldn't see it that way and the matter
went over until the next meeting.
Manager A. +. Querinjean of the Ce-
lima Auto Co. asked permission to place
an underground gasoline tank under the
sidewalk at their garage. Same was
granted.
A resolution was passed accepting the
sidewalk in front of the Palmer & Miller
elevator, West Logan street.
The clerk was instructed to notify the
Cincinnati Northern to build cement
sidewalks over their right of way at the
Logan and Fayette street crossings.
The resignation of Harve Swallow as
deputy marshal was accepted and Mayor
Rice appointed John Heistan to fill the
vacancy. Council confirmed the ap~
pointment.
Councilman Geo. w. Winter, the lead
ing Democratic member of the body, and
a member on all but two of the council
committees, including the sewer COM
mittee, rendered his resignation as coun-
Gilman, effective at once. The resigna-
ton was accepted. For the second time
already this year council will again be
called upon to elect member to fill
vacancy, and their is likelihood that a
third vacancy may occur. Mr., Winter
said that his business was such that he
could not give the councilmanic affairs
the attention they should receive, es-
pecially the sewer committee matters,
and he didn't want to see the sewer
work neglected. Councilman Morrow is
similarly placed and may be compelled
to resign AS the democrats on the
council are in the majority it is almost a
settled fact that democrat will be elect
ed to fill Mr.. Winter chair, and in all
probability he will be from the second
ward. VIM R. Coate and J. H. Pulls
kamp are being mentioned for the place.

HAS THEM
GUESSING
Villas Personal Brigade, Num-
bering 1000, Quit TOrTen

Villa Either Insineere In His Protes-
tations Of Friendship For United
States or He Has Ordered Up His
Army to overawe carranza and
Dominate Rebel PoIltlcs-Foreisn-

El Paso, Tex, April 30. - Pancho
Villas personal brigade Of troops,
numbering about 1000 men and
known as "The Brigade villa" reach
ed Chihuahua city from Torreon, ac-
cording to Americans who arrived
from that city
The movement of troops can have
but two meanings. villa either
brought up his personal army from
the front in order to be strong
enough to force his opposition on Car
rama in the present controversy with
the United States, or Villa is insin-
cere in his protestations of friend
ship for the United States and is
moving his troops toward the border.
Villas American friends are disn.
clined to believe the latter and are
inclined to credit the troop move
ment to the rebel generals desire to
have military forces at Chihuahua
sufficient to dominate rebel policies.
What may come in the event of the
rebels capturing Tampico is another
question. They are saying that they
do not care about the United States
embargo on war munitions, as they
expect to capture Tampico in a few
days, when they will be able to get
all the arms they want Should the
United States continue the Tampico
blockade after it falls into rebel
hands, the rebel officials do not hesi-
tate to say that this would be con-
sidered a violation of rebel territory.
Further confirmation is had of Viii
las supremacy at Chihuahua, but it
is said that Carranza has not yet sup
plemented his note to President viii
son. In some quarters it is now said
that there may be no further ex-
changes between Carranza and Presi.
dent Wilson. and that Carranza may
let his note stand and do nothing.
The tone of the note indicated that
he meant war, but Villa has informed
him that such is not the case.
No property belonging to foreign

tionalists will be confscated in fu-

BURY THE HATCHET
Villa and Carranza Will Seek to EIlm-
mate Huerta.

Chihuahua, April 2S.-General Car
rama and General Villa were in con-
ference at constitutionalist headquar-
ters several hours and are believed
to have reached an amicable agree
ment to bury their petty differences
and work together for the elimination
of Huerta.
There was no sign of enmity be-
tween the two leaders when Villa ar
rived here. Carranza greeted him
cordially, though not effusitely, and
General Herrera, who had been re-
ported to be Carranza's choice for a
successor to Villa, also welcomed his
commander heartily.
Constitutionalist officers refused to
discuss the conference, being more
interested in attempting to get con-
firmation of reports that reached here
of federal troops being driven out Of
Saltillo.

Special Message Of Truth For

Represented the Agricultural Indus

Tax Commission.
w. N. Cowden OF Quaker City, the
only surviving member Of the McKin'

mendations have been the guides in
recent efforts to bring about taxation
reforms, has made a valuable contrh
button to taxation literature in a re-

The communication of Mr.. Cowden
follows:
Editor Ohio State Journal:
There is so much confusion in the
public mind concerning the Warnes
tax law that the following brief out
line may be helpful in correcting the
misconception of many. Among the
enemies of the law some are blam-
ing Governor Cox, others ex-Gover-

spondents blamed Governor McKin.
ley. Instead of blame, all the above
named governors may indeed feel
proud of their contribution to the en-
actment of the best tax law in the
history of the state. AS the only liv-
ing member of Governor McKinley's
tax commission l beg the privilege OF
a brief history of the conditions that
finally led to the enactment Of the
Warnes tax law.
When Governor Mckinley was in
augurated he soon discovered the un-
pleasant fact that state expenses
were increasing with little or no in
crease in the tax duplicate, with the
evident result that the tax rate was
nearinf the point Of confiscation of all
the profits of capital. He soon found
that this condition was brought about
by the inequality in the burden of tax
alton. This inequality was caused
largely by the owners of intangible
property hiding their property rather
than allow the tax gatherer to con-
fiscate it. This compelled the owners
of property that could not be hidden
to pay the taxes of his neighbor who
could hide his property. And further
more, these hidden properties were
the best-paying properties in the
state and hence the most able to pay
The above conditions being brought |
to the attention Of the legislature, the |
governor was authorized to appoint
tax commission to find, if possible,
solution of the problem. Accordingly |
the governor appointed Judge Thomp- |

iurist; E. A. Angel Of Cleveland, who

REBS GET

SCHEME
Caranza Formally Accepts
Principles of Mediation

Scope Of Mediation Plans For Settle.
ment Of Mexican Crisis Broadened
SO as to include All Mexleo-United
States and General Huerta Asked
to Agree to an Armistlee - Late
Developments.
Washington, April 3O.-The scope
Of mediation plans for the settlement
Of the Mexican crisis was suddenly
Iroadened so as to include the entire
range of Mexican affairs not alone
the critical issue between the United
States and the Huerta regime, but
also the conflict between elements OF
northern and southern Mexico which
have rent the republic for many
months.
This signal enlargement of the me-
diation program followed the receipt
of a formal acceptance by General
Carranza, chief of the Constitution
alist forces, of the principle of medi-
alton as proposed by the ambassador
from Brazil and the ministers from
Argentine and Chile.
Already the United States and Gen
eral Huerta had formally accepted
the good offices of these South Amer
ican ENJOYS, and now as a further
step General Carranza has been
brought into the deliberations so as
to draw every element and faction
within the range of any settlement
which may be attained.
Armlstice Suggested.
The mediators made another de-
cisive move in asking the United
States and General Huerta to agree
to an armistice by which all aggres-
sive military movements would be
suspended pending the outcome Of
the negotiations. The mediators con-
fdently expect both sides to accept
the armistice proposal.
A separate proposal for an armis-
tice as between Huerta and Carranza
will also be made, and with its ac-
ceptance all of the warning elements
throughout Mexico, as well as the
American forces, would maintain 4
military status quo.
The American government in its
formal reply to the armistice pro-
posal will expressly stipulate that
any untoward act toward Americans
will be regarded as an infraction Of
the armistice.
The South American ENJOYS held
prolonged session at the Argentina
legation. Up to the time of their ad-
journment they had progressed stead.
lily on their plans, and foresaw a def.
mite statement within the next few
days of their contemplated actiop
Word of General Carranza's accept
ance of the tender of good Offices
looking toward mediation came in
telegram directly to the three South
American ENJOYS, who informed Sec
retary Bryan, the announcement be-
ing formally made at the state de-
partment.
