Meeting Devoid Of Any Sensa.
tiOnal Features Whatever;
Not Satisfactory
NO SUFFRAGE BILL
GOES "AT THIS TIME"
Miss Pankhurst, Ill from the
Effects Of Hunger Strike,
Was Not Present

London, June 20.-Premier Asquith
today received delegation Of six suf-
fragettes at his official residence in
Downing street.
This was in accordance with the
promise extorted from him by Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst s threat to sit on the
steps of parliament house, neither eat
ing nor drinking, until the suffragette:
were given a hearing.
George Lansbury, who resigned from
parliament some time ago because the
liberal party, to which he belonged
would not grant women the franchise
accompanied the delegation. Mis-;
Pankhurst, very i'll from a prolonged
hunger strike in Holloway prison was
not present, however.
Meeting Not Sensational.
The meeting between the premier anC
his visitors was devoid of sensational
features. Neither was it satisfactory
to the suffragettes. The cabinet hcaC
heard the delegation s spokesman ou
and then announced that he could not
introduce any equal suffrage bill il
parliament cat this time. -
He did, however, promise to confer
with Home Secretary MeKenna, whit
has charge of England S jails, relative
to the forcible feeding of hunger strik
ing suffragette prisoners.
Since the suffragettes insist on thu
franchise Immediately, it was the. gen
eral opinion that the premier's refusa
to introduce a bill at present will pre-
cipitate a still more vigorous outbreal
of suffragette militancy.

ucated in the public schools of Oak
land. Later he joined the United States
army and saw much service in China
and the Philippines. During the great
fire in 1906 in San Francisco he was

good work was favorably commented
upon by his superior officers.

service under General Huerta at the
battle of Bachmiba and the campaign
against 0rozco and Salazar. When Ma
dero was killed, Holmdahl deserted the
federal army and joined Francisco vii
la. He commanded the rebel artillery
at Torreon, Santa Rosalio, Ct ''uahua,
Juarez and the battle Of T1ler4 Blanca,
but retired to the secret service under
instructions from Villa, who made him
major for gallantry in action.
Villa recently recalled Holmdahl to
his personal staff and on account of
his friendship for the Oakland boy and
his belief in his ability, has appointed
him to lead the expedition to subdue
Lower California for the constitutional
lists If Holmdahl succeeds with his
mission, he will have accomplished
something which all other invaders of
Lower California have failed to do.
Heretofore no expedition to conquer
Lower California has ever survived.
The members have always either been
butehered by federals or driven across
the line into the arms Of the United
States soldiers.

HIGH CLASS SERVICE FOR

Soleman Cox, an expert advertis.

from San Francisco on tour of the

advertising is the only class of ad-

medium which brings to the adver-

in the smaller cities usually cover their
fields more thoroughly than the big city

l43 Miners Still Entombed
in the Burning Workings;
All Of Them Are Dead
BODIES WILL BE
UNAVOIDABLY BURNED
Flames Make 1t Impossible to
Enter the Shaft; Wash
House Is Morgue

Lethbridge, Alberta, June 20.-With
143 men still entombed in the explosion
wrecked Hillcrest mine near here, res
cuers were driven out of tne workings
by fire at I am. today.
There was no question that those
still in the mine were all dead but the
rescue parties had striven desperately
to recover their corpses. The fire had
spread rapidly and soon seemed COM
likely the bodies would be ineinerated
where they lay. The only way of stop
ping the fire, experts said, was by seal
iHg up the mine.
Al Escape Alive.
Mine officials revised their figures
today. There were 236 men in The mine
at the time of the explosion, they stat.
ed, and of these Al escaped alive. The
fatalities numbered 1875 including Sup
erintendent J. S. Quigley. The bodies
of so of the dead had ben recovered
when the fire broke out.
The mine wash house has been
transformed into a morgue and 200 cof
fins were ordered from Winnipeg. The
inquests were scheduled to begin thi;
afternoon.
Throngs of women and children, rel
0tives of the victims waited all nigat
and were still waiting today at the
mine entrance.
Rescue Efforts Feeble.
Effective rescue work did not begir
until last night. Directly following the
explosion, flame made it impossible tC
enter the shaft. The residents of Hill
crest, too, were poorly equipped for the
task before them and though they die
their best, their efforts were feeble.
Two trainloads of expert mine work
ers finally arrived, however, and sys
tematic and scientific rescue attempts
began. The party was accompanied by
doctors and nurses, who cared for thu
survivors, many of wnom were badly
injured, as fast as they were brough
to the surface.
