AMERICAN MAY BE EXECUTED
Mexlcans Accuse Pennsylvania Man

Vera Cruz, May 2.-Consul Canada
and other American officials here are
anxiously awaiting some additional
word from Zacatecas, where DR. Ed
ward w. Ryan. Scranton, Pa, is said
to be In danger of execution as a
spy.
General Merido Barron, military
governor Of Zacatecas, is said to have
ordered that DR.. Ryan be shot be-
cause OF his refusal to translate state
department codes declared to have
been found on his person.
DR. Ryan has been engaged In Red
Cross work in the revolutionary dis
tricts for several years. American
officials here declare he has been of
great value to the state department
In furnishing information as to the
true conditions in Mexico, but declare
1t inconceivable that he should be
adjudged a spy.
The same report from Zacatecas
says that Augustus 3. Emery of Boa.

Eccles, w. Va, May 2.-Thirty-sev
en- men employed in mine No. wher
the explosion occurred last Tuesday
afternoon owe their lives to the
courage of little Davy Buckhannon, O
trapper boy, and the resourcefulnes:
of the fire boss, A. p. Burdess. Davy
heard the explosion in No. 5 and, like
all miners. knew the awful cloud OF
afterdamp would soon sweep the work
ings on No. 6.
Without thought of himself, and not
knowing how soon the dust in No.
would let go, he ran along the gallery
shouting warning. After three hours
of anxious waiting the imprisoned
men were found in an improvised safe
ty room by rescue party headed by
Superintendent Thomas Donaldson.
Rescue crews have assembled thir
teen bodies at the foot of the shaft In
mine No. of the New River Goa

seems certain, lost their lives.

ston an accomplished fact, and the re-
turn to their vessels in the harbor of
the sailors and marines who took the
port from the Mexicans. questions of
the future are beginning to engage
the attention of American refugees
and Mexican business men.
The future policy of the Washington
administration is being debated with
much interest.
Americans and Mexicans alike lack
anything in the nature of "a definite
statement on this subject and they are
all trying to interpret, from the trend
of events since the seizure, whether
the American occupation of Vera Cruz
is to be permanent or not.
II once convinced that the American
flag is to float over this city until
tranquility is restored throughout the
republic II is virtually certain that
the Mexicans of Vera Cruz will give
their heartiest support to the Ameri
can civil government.
Today they admit frankly that they
are enjoying greater freedom from ap
prehension, more personal liberty and
a larger measure of prosperity, owing
to the influx of American money
than they have known In many years

IS HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Minnesota Cream Shipment Law Il
Knocked Out.

st. Paul, May 2.-Characterizing the
act as an unreasonable interference
with and prohibition of interstate com
merce," the state supreme court held
the Johnston cream shipment law
passed at the last session OF the leg
islature to be unconstitutional. The
law prohibits the shipment of cream a
greater distance than sixty-five miles
unless 1t be pasteurized or carried In
a refrigerator car.
The act has been fought at several
sessions of the legislature on the
ground that II aimed at centralizing
stations. II was contended the act
was intended to prohibit the ship
ments OF cream outside of the cou l.
ties where produced and thus hit the
big creameries.

Toxic, May 2.-Wireless calls for
assistance from the Pacific Mail
steamer Siberia, heard on the Japan.
ese coast, indicated that she was in
grave peril off the coast of Formosa
The liner left San Francisco April
for Manila. She carries eighty sa.
loon passengers, including Mrs. Fran.
ces Burton Harrison, wife of the gov.
ernor general of the Philippines. and
Mrs. ]. B. Bentiers, wife of the new
British consul to Manila.
A dispatch from Formosa hints that
Chinese pirates may have had some
thing to do with the disaster.
The exact nature of the accident
has not yet been determined.
An early wireless report said the
liner was sinking" while a later
message conveyed the information
that she was ashore" six miles of
the mainland of Formosa island.
The Japanese government dispatch
ed the steamer Kanto Maru from For
mosa to the succor of the Siberia as
soon as the news of the trouble was
received
Over Seven Hundred on Board.
The Siberia left Yokohama April 81
and Nagasaki April 20 for Manila
She had a passenger list of seventy
one persons in the second and 400 in
the steerage. She is in command OF
Captain Feeder, and carries crew OF
about two hundred men.
The gravest anxiety prevails owing
to the fact that wireless calls for helI
from the Siberia have ceased. A. A
Tamsui, Formosa. telegraphed his fear
that the vessel had gone down.
When the first wireless calls fol
help were heard the nearest ship was
six hours away.
The Japanese navy department was
inclined to discredit the reports re
garding pirates and expressed the
opinion that they were an outcome o.
the recent looting of British steam
er.
The first wireless message regard
ing the disaster was received direcl
from the Siberia at the japanese wire
less station at Osezakai, off the coas
of Kiushi island.
1t conveyed the information that the
steamer had met with an accident
and was In distress.
This message was mutilated and nc
further definite information could bt
cleaned from 1t.

Only Obstacle Left
to Mediation.
REBEL CHIEF IS SILENT
Falls TO Reply TO Proposal for
an krmistice.

Washington, May 2.-To what ex,
tent mediation between the United
States and Huerta would be affected
by refusal of the Carranza element
to suspend military operations against
Huerta pending mediation was the
chief question confronting the South
American mediators when they re.
sumed their sessions at the Argentina
legation.
The midnight conference between
the mediators and Secretary Bryan,
lasting for more than two hours, had
established definitely that the United
States and Huerta would suspend mill,
tary operations, the only reservation
made by the United States being that
it would be free to repel any attacks
But Carranza still held aloof from
any suspension of hostilities between
him and the Mexican federal forces
All efforts, therefore, were directed to
have the truce include the warning
elements In Northern Mexico, as well
as those of the United States and
Huerta.
Continue to Push Mediation.
The work OF the mediators, it was
learned in authoritative quarters,
would proceed steadily, no matter
haS he nf "a
was on the question of armistice al
though an adverse decision by him
would necessarily restrict the inter
mediation to the main issue between
the United States and Huerta.
But, If not, IL Is assumed they will
still proceed to the adjustment of the
conflict growing out of the Tampico
flag incident. on which President Viii.
sons action was justified by con
gress,, the landing of American forces
at Vera Cruz and other issues.
Meantime, while the exact scope OF
the mediation was in allegiance pend
ing CarranZa's decision on an arm
istice, the ENJOYS continued their ne
gotiations to secure some middle
ground of agreement with all those
who could be brought to accept it.
Their morning session began toward
IL o'clock with the exception of aft
