ATLANTA, Ca, March 6.-Atlanta
today is showering congratulations
upon Major w. F. Slaton, father of the
governor and the superintendent of
city schools, who is celebrating his
eighty-fourth birthday.
A postal card from the hundreds of
school teachers who served under him
before he retired and was succeeded
by his son, w. NJ. Slaton, were a part
of the surprise he received, and there
were many callers at his home. One
of his former teachers sent him an en-
ormous old-fashioned pound cake.
Major Slaton was head of the At
lanta schools for many years, and was
retired several years ago with the
title of Superintendent Emeritus.

MINERS RESCUED

HINTON, w. Va, March 6.-Forty-
seven miners we're found alive in the
Layland mine of the Pocahontas Con-
solidated Coal Co., today. The men
had been entombed since the explos-

to the surface, where corps of phy-
sicians quickly applied necessary
measures to resuscitate the almost
suffocated miners.
SeVelty-eight bodies of unfortunate
victims found in various portions of
the mine have been brought to the sur
face up to two o'clock this afternoon,
and large party of workers is con-
tinuing the search for bodies or pos

munication from the French passenger
steamship LaTouraine, bound from
New York to Havre, asserts the vessel
is afre in mid-ocean twelve hundred
miles west of it's destination, and that
an S. o. S. cal has been sent out for
assistance.
The first intimation of impending
danger to the LaTourane was contain
ed in a wireless message picked up by
the wireless station on Valencia Is
land, and forwarded to the London
agency of Lloyd's. This message as
serts that five steamers in the vicin-
ity of the threatened vessel have gone
to her assistance and that no danger
yet engenders the safety of the big
ship. Passengers on board the vessel
have not been informed of impend-
ing danger, it is said, and members Of
the crew are heroically working to
subdue the flames.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
Administration officials today awaited
with tense interest further develop
ments in the grave situation now
confronting Mexico City, where star
walton threatens the entire population.
The water supply station of the Mexic
capital, located several miles outside
the city is in the hands of Zapatistas
and serious menace to foreigner
as well as Mexicans is declared tt
have become manifest in the unfinished
condition of sewers, and great accum.
ulations of filth, as a result of this
condition.
United States Consul General Silli-
man has already made urgent repre-
sentation to General Carranza regard
ing the situation at the capital, and
Carranza has been requested to direct
General Obregon, commanding the mill
itary forces now occupying Mexico
City, to accept proffer of aid for the
needy civil population from an inter-
national relief committee. This prof
fer was rendered Gen. Obregon several
days ago, and refused, that command
er asserting there was no need for
such assistance at this time.

The Representations to Carranza to-
day failed to indicate an intention up
on the part of the United States gov

factions, but laid before Carranza the
conditions as they actually exist, and
in the name of suffering humanity APP
pealed to him to permit outsiders to
assist peaceful Mexicans, unless he
can himelf give such assistance with
out delay.
Foreign diplomats accredited to
the Washington government today ex-
pressed grave dissatisfaction with af~
fairs at the Mexican capital, and in
some circles there was much discus
sion of concerted action looking to
the relief of foreigners now in Mexico,
as we'll as the protection Of foreign
capital invested in that country. The
precedent established by the interna-
tional expedition sent to Pekin during
the Boxer uprising several years ago
was referred to as authorizing similar
measures in Mexico, and one promi
nent diplomat asserted such an expe
dition would be fully justified in re
storing order in the troubled repub-

END OF THIRTY-FLRST WEEK OF

OPENING SPRING CAMPAIGN
BOARD OF TRADE HEAD EXPLAINS WHEAT RISE

C. H. Candy, president of the
Chicago Board of Trade, was a vol
untary witness before the inquiry in
stituted by the attorney general Of
New York into the rise in the price
of bread and wheat there. He insited
that there was no such thing as i
monopoly of wheat, and that the
high prices were caused merely by
the European demand.
This is what Mr.. Candy had to say
when he was asked if a large cor
poration, like the Armour grain in
terests, cannot by buying grain from
the farmers and holding it indefinite
ly in their elevators control the ex-
port wheat situation, and by con-
trolling that regulate the domestic
market:
Il wouldn't call that popular
myth. l should say it is principally
all moonshine-just plain bunk.
The present situation is remark
able but lawful" he continued. "The
export surplus fixes the domestic
price. We can't expect to buy here
for less than is offered abroad. How
ever, our export facilities are limited.
Otherwise, Europe would be in the
market for all the wheat we have. Ger
many would pay 50 bushel for any
quantity.
"One advantage of high prices is
that people waste less wheat, -four
and bread when it is expensive.
Il do not understand how people
like ours, which spends millions a
year on cheap chewing gum, cigars
and other trash, can be affected by
an increase of / cent in the price of
bread"

ton, Mr.. Candy asserted:

Line, officers of the company stated
they were without information con-

one of six large liners leaving this
port Hst Saturday, carried among
other articles in her cargo four thous-

cases of cartridges, intended for use
of the Entente Allies in the European

during the loading of the ships cargo
to prevent the placing of Internal ma

That fire in the hold of a Touraine

fire would be held in control until the
ship reaches port.
