will proceed with the gathering Of evil
dence, holding formal inquiry in

Meantime efforts were continued
today to remove victims Of the dis
aster from the wrecked ship and to

whether the total death list would re-
main around 1000, as many believe,
or creep up to 1920 or more as others

showed nearly four hundred missing,
but many of the names of these were
included In the list of 826 bodies
already recovered and identified 1t
was said also that probably a goodly

Death List May Grow.
The probability Of swelling the list
above a thousand was suggested by
the announcement Of detectives from
the states attorneys office that they
had seized the tickets taken from
passengers boarding the Eastland
They asserted these tickets numbered
$50 and that these did not account
for children, musicians and the sev-
enty-tWo members Of the crew. They
estimated that the total number Of
persons aboard the steamer might
have been two thousand eight hun

Indiana Transportation company, les

2,4O8 tickets had been taken. the crew
numbering seventy-two.

The state attorney asserted this cor

Definite Move to Establish
Harmony in Republic Is
Now Imminent.
WILL MAKE ANOTHER
APPEAL TO CARRANZA
Conference of Leaders Is
Adopted as Feasible by
High Officials.

XxyASHINGTON, July ga def
w mite step toward setting the
Mexican problem will be taken by the
United states government in the near
future. Authoritative announcement
TO this effect was made today at the
state department, although the ma
ture of the contemplated action was
NOT disclosed President Wilson IL
understood to be revolving several
suggested courses. His decision prob
ably will not become known before ms
return from Cornish, \. II.
Mr.. Wilson Is known to have been
reviewing the situation for some uiue,
the warning Mexican factions haNIhB
failed to heed his suEgestio" OF TWO
months ago that they accommodate
their differences and restore peace.
Apparentlv he has determined that
the other measures, which the WASH
ington government announced it must
take If the battle Of the factions con-
tinued, must now be resorted TO.
Plans New Conference.
The presidents most probable
course, it was reported tonight, would
be to urge General Carranza for the
last time to confer with other factlon
leaders In an effort to bring about
peace. Should Carran2a again refuse,
this plan. it is said, contemplates et-
forts to assemble other Mexican lead
crs who will represent a majority or
the Mexican people, such a con-
ference. it has been suggested, might
be held in northern Mexico, if it is
possible to free It from military in
reference. If not it might be held
across the border in the United States.
The conference would arrange for
n constitutional convention which
would plan for an election and the
establishment of government which
the United States would recognize and
help to maintain.
If such a step is taken by the
United States it is not known whether
President Wilson will issue another
address to the Mexican people and
leaders or whether the second sug-
gestion for a conference will be pre-
sented to the various chiefs through
official representatives in Mexico OF
this government.
Military Situation Changes.
Changes in the military situation in
the vicinity of Mexico City were re-
ported today from several sources

vised from Vera Cruz that General

Tulsans Who Erected Insti-
tuition Rejoice on First
Opening Day.
SWIMMING POOL FINE
From Basement to Third
Floor Continual Round
of Interest.

TULSAS new Y. NJ. C. A, which,
Il by the way, is the only institu-
ton of its kind in oklahoma, was
formally opened yesterday. There will
be other opening days during the re-
mainder of the week, at the end of
which the association will be prepared
to launch upon the noble work for
which it is intended, and the initial
membership list indicates that it is
the intention of the majority Of young
men of the city to belong.
Nothing was left undone for the
opening. Practically every depart
ment had been completed, from the
dormatories on the upper floors to
the huge swimming pool in the base
ment. Therefore. first day visitors
saw the building in all its splendor.
and all of the hundreds who inspected
the structure expressed satisfaction
and delight.
The day was set aside for the reCep-
tiOn of various campaign teams who
were instrumental in raising the
money necessary to erect the build
ing, and subscribers to the fund. The
program was in charge Of the various
team captains, with b. w. Grant as
chairman. A banquet for the team
workers was served in the cafeteria,
and such a sumptious repast prob
ably never before was served in Tulsa.
At no time after Il o'clock yester-
day were there less than two hundred
persons in the building. They were
in charge of the various committee
men and escorted in squads of about
twenty-five each. About an hour was
required for the trips. There were
as money women as men, all of whom
seemingly were quite as much inter-
ested as their escorts in what had
been accomplished for the benefit of
the younger male generation of the
city.
Exhibition Swimming.
The swimming pool, or plunge, as it
| is called at the association, was one
of the chief places of interest all of
yesterday and last night. For the oc-
| casion several of the best swimmers
in the city were given free use of the
| water, and there were many thrilling
stunts INDUCED in for the benefit
of the large crowd which always oc-
cupied the balcony designed especially
| for them. The plunge water after
| passing through a filter three times
| was dS ClcdI as crystal, every llle
on the bottom being plainly visible
even in the deepest place.
| There were exhibitions of high and
! fancy diving, flip-flops and fancy
| swimming of all kinds. and the plunge
alone undoubtedly was the means of
sufficiently interesting many male vis-
itors to prompt them to make appli-
cations for membership before leaving
] the building.

LONDON, July 26.-(S:1O p. M
Despite the recent agitation by a GER

NEW YORK, July 26.-Deyelop-
~ ments in the strike situation at
Bayonnc n. j., indicate that probably
half of approximately five thousand
employees Of the Standard oil conf
pany of New Jersey would return to
work tomorrow morning.
In response to an appeal by Sheriff
Eugene Kinkead at mass meeting
tonight, the English speaking men
and American citizens among the en-
plOyes agreed to return TO work, al
though the foreign speaking element
earlier In the day had refused an offer
from the company which the sheriff
had urged them to accept. 1t is esti-
mated that the 1900 men signfied
their intention OF returning 10 work,
and that probably half Of the en-
ployCs speak English or are American
citizens. What the foreign speaking
workers will do when the others 20

Sheriff Kinkead declared he had

Washington, June 2l.--President
Wilson was understood tonight to
have practically decided on the APP
pointment of Robert Lansing, as Sec
retary OF state to succeed William
Jennings Bryan. II was said in we'll
informed quarters that while the pres

mind, it was almost certainty that
Mr. Lansing, counsellor and secretary
ad interim Of the state department,
would be given the portfolio.
4 AIR. Lansing was at the White
House during the day and and had Il
long talk with Secretary Tumulty. He
would not discuss his visit, and later

The president plans to leave here
late Wednesday night for New York

NEW LETTER PREPARED
ON RIGHTS OF NEUTRALS S
Germany'S Reply to American
Note Not Expected for a
Week at Least No Intima-
ton From Berlin,

Washington, June 2l.--Further
representations are to be made to
Great Britain BY the United States
government on misuse OF the Ameri-
can flag by British merchant ships.
That these representations would be
included in the new note to Great
Britain now being prepared relating
to Interruptions to neutral commerce,
was indicated today by state depart
ment officials.
The London foreign office, it was
officially declared, had been advised
from time to time of several COM
plants that British steamers had dis
played the American nag, but the
subject now will be dealt with gener-
ally In the note that is expected TO
go forward in the near future. Just
when the communication will be sent
has not been determined, and is de-
pendent somewhat upon proaf1ss Of
negotiations with Germany relating to
submarine warfare.
Germany's recent claim that the
submarine U-29 was rammed and
sunk by British steamer flyiug the
Swedish flag. it is declared, has not
been officially called to the attention
of the United States, but there is no
attempt to edny that misuse Of neutral
flags by enemies of Germany might
tend to complicate the issue between
Washington and the imperial govern
ment on regulation of submarine ao-
tivitles
No intimations have reached the
state department as to when Ger
many's reply to the second American
note on submarine warfare viii be
received. The belief is general that the
reply cannot be expected for week
or more.
