MINE EXPLOSION
 DEATH LIST NOW 1so.
27 Bodies Were Recovered from Lay
 land Mine Yesterday.

Hinton. W. Va. March 4-with the probability that the death list will reach nearly 180, rescue crews today continued the search of the workings of the Layland mine, wrecked by an explosion Tuesday morning. Early to- night 27 bodies had been recovered. The rescuers are making slow but steady progress and believe that they have overcome the worst of the debris. Recovered bodies have to be carried from a half mile to mile and a half to the entrance, around which crowds of relatives and friends of missing men remain on continuous watch.
 A house to house canvass shows 136 men from Layland entered the mine Tuesday. It is believed, however, that a dozen or more young men from sur rounding towns also were working It is known that several youths had ob- tained work in the Layland drift when other mines closed down temporarily some weeks ago.
 Ten bodies arrived here tonight for interment

UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND
 ENGLISH POLICY OF REPRISAL
Thomas Gibson Bowles, Former Mem
 her of Parliament.

London, March 4, 11.36 a. m.-Thom- as Gibson Bowles, former member of parliament and writer on naval mat ters, in an address before the 1nSti- tute of Ship Brokers in London, ex- pressed with much emphasis his ina bility to understand the policy of re- prisal against Germany outlined by Premier AsQuith in his speech in the house of commons.
 What is to happen, MT. Bow1es asked, ito cargoes of enemy owner ship, origin and destination which are brought into port? They are not to be coufiscated; this is expressly de- clared. Are they to be purchased by the captors, according to the doctrine of preemption. within 10 per cent. com pensation for delay?"
 If the latter course was pursued MT. Bowles pointed out, Great Britain would trade with Germany on a large scale. If preemption was not to be resorted to, MT. Bowles asked ii seized goods would be held in trust.
 The speaker criticised the Asquitt policy in that, so far as it has been outlined, it neglects to conform to the common law which protects neutral traders. He further objected to the premier's policy because it does not in- f1ict maximum damage upon the enemy by confiscating the enemy's goods found in neutral ships.

FATHER OF DEAD GIRL
 HAD ANTICIPATED DISCOVERY
Betrayed Little Emotion When Told Body of Daughter Had Been Found.

New York, March 4.-Frank Cook, father of Lillian May Cook, when he learned late today that his daughters dead body had been found in New Haven, received the news with little outward display of emotion. Appar- ently he had anticipated the discov- cry, for he said that he had feared ever since her disappearance that his daughter was dead.
 Letters received from her in the re- cent past were tinged with a tone of melancholy, expressing concern over the welfare of her father and his family at their home in Brooklyn and uneasiness over the possible results of an examination the girl was soon to take in a business school in New Haven. He also had noticed evidences of melancholia in his daughter on her last visit to this city, he said.
 MT. Cook was preparing tonight to leave for New Haven at late hour or early tomorrow morning. Of Vir- ginia Mayo, president of fthe company by which Miss Cook was employed in New Haven, he had nothing but good to say. Mayo, whom he had known in Brooklyn as James Dudley, had al- ways treated him well. he, said.
 Admittance, to the Dudley home in Brooklyn was denied today to all call CTS. -

ENGLISH MAY SUSPEND
 HORSE RAGING MEETS
Lord Rosebery Protests Against Such
 a Move.

London, March 5. 3.10 a. m.-The question whether horse racing meets ought to be suspended during the war is being warmly discussed by hhe press and the public. The Times in an editorial yesterday advocated at least the suspension of the Ascot and Epson meets. but Lord Rosebery writes to the Times protesting against such a move.
 He argues that horses are invaluable to the future of the army and that if races cease thoroughbreds will dis appear, because no man can afford to keep blooded stock for the mere pleas ure of looking at them in the stable.
 Lord Rosebery further points out that through the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, the Epson and Ascot races were held regularly, adding that "our forefathers did not regard it as an offense to witness horse races while at war;

NEW YORK ALIEN
 LABOR LAW SUSPENDED
By the United States Supreme Court Writ of Error Granted for Re-

Washington, March 4.-Operation of the New York state alien labor law was suspended today by the supreme court and writs of error were grant ed for a review of the decision of the state court of appeals, which held the building of the New York subway would be delayed by the law.
 The injunction was issued by the entire court and followed the granting by Justice Hughes of applications for wTits of error to review the decisions of the New York court of appeals both in the suit of William E. Helm, a tax payer, who sought to enjoin the public service commission from enforcing the law against the employment of aliens on public works and in the prosecu- ton of Charles Crane by the people of the state of New York for violating the law by employing aliens on 'ipUb- lie works"
 The injunction was issued in the suit against the public service com mission and the writ of error in itself is sufficient to stay further proceedings in the criminal case
 Attorneys representing contractors and taxpayers interested left Wash ington immediately for New York to serve a copy of the injunction on the commission. The injunction is effec- tive until final decision by the supreme court Tn the case. A motion Will be made possibly Monday that the court advance the cases for early hearing This hearing may be given at about the same time consideration Is giver by the court to the appeal of the state of Arizona from the decision of the Arizona federal district court holding unconstitutional the Arizona statute forbidding any corporation to have less than so per cent native or natur- affixed citizens among it's employed la- borers. This appeal has just reached the court.

CUSTOMS COLLECTORS TO
 WITHHOLD CLEARANCE PAPERS Of Any Vessels Suspected of Carry
 ing Supplies to BeIIigerent Ships.

Washington, March 4|President Wilson today signed the joint resolu- tion passed by both houses of congress early this morning authorizing him to direct customs collectors to withhold clearance from any vessel which he has reason to believe has any intention of carrying coal or other supplies to belligerent vessels at sea.
 The resolution, which carries heavy penalties for violations, went into eff feet immediately. Officials of the jus tice and state departments were very anxious to have the measure passed because of the absence of sufficient penalties under the general neutrality laws.
 It was stated in official circles to- day that the resolution grew out of charges in New York before the fed eral grand jury recently that plans had been laid for giving assistance to German warships through vessels sail ing from American ports.

 that General Obregon, the Carranza
 commander, is melting the people to
 loot and to take the law into their own
 hands to obtain food, in order to force
 large part of the male population
 into the CarranZa army. This view
 of the situation is credited by some government officials here because of Obregon's efforts to block d relief
 movement begun by a constitutional
 committee. This committee. in com
 munication of some length to the Unit ed States government, recites the diff cultieS of the situation, and son the basis of it a strong protest has been sent to General CarranZa. It Is as yet unanswered.

 Russians Force Fighting in Poland.
 The Russians apparently are forcing the operations to the north of Grodno, in Poland, although there are evil dences that the German troops are re- sisting stubbornly. In the Bobr river region the contending forces are in close contact, and there the fighting has been hand-to- hand. Particularly fierce, also, have been the encounters to the north, near Mlawa.
 The Russians report the capture in the Carpathians and in eastern Galicia of more than 5000 men and 16 machine guns in one day.

 Both the British admiralty and the French ministry of marine describe briefly the operations in the Darda- nelles, where the warshipS of the allies are making steady progress against the forts guarding the straits. French warships are throwing shells across tho Gal1ipoh peninsula on the line of forts extending from Bulair.
