ID. V. Fennessey, the III Paso con-
tsulting engineer employed by the
council to investigate ana report on
the cost to the Deming Ice Il Elec-
Iric Co. Of producing current for con-
sumption by the city, and who was
instructed, when he reported on the
same several weeks ago, to make an
other investigation, had his secondary
report before the council at a meet :
ing Monday night. The second re-
port had been called for because of
the fact that the first included costs
on equipment not used for Deming
service, the council claimed. The re-
port was filed over q month ago, but
this was the first meeting Of the
council since that time at which Il
quorum was present.
Mr.. Fennessey's second report
again proved unsatisfactory to the
council and on motion of Trustee
Samuels was rejected. What further
will be done in the way of investi.
CATION was not indicated.
Prof. NJ. S. Mahan was before the
council with a request for the ap-
pointment Of truant officer, and in
structions we're issued to the chief Of
police to detail man for that duty.

population only, and to report at the
next meeting Of the council.
This was the last meeting of the

BISHOP CRANSTON HOPES
FOR UNITED METHOD|STS
Is One of Fifty Ministers at Savan-
nah Considering Joining Of
North and South.

SAVANNAH, Ga. January 24-The
committee of fifty ministers and lay
men representing the Methodist Church
North and South. which has for its pur-
pose the uniting of the northern and
southern Methodist churches as one
body. has begun it's deliberations in
Savannah. 1t will be in session ten
days or two weeks.
No reason appears now why the
northern and the southern Methodist
churches should not unite. Bishop Earl
Cranston Of Washington. Chairman Of
the northern delegation to the unifica-
tion congregation in the Wesley Monu-
mental Church last night.
In view OF the fact that such promi-
nent member of the commission should
make such public statement, with the
expectancy of the commission entering
into executive session to consider the
points which are regarded as the most
obstinate. 1t is believed the commission
will agree on unification.
Failure Of this commission to agree
on unification and unite the great pow
er of Methodism for its part in the
world work would reflect great dis
credit upon the members, continued
Bishop Cranston. He spoke strongly
for unity and with apparent hope for it
at an early date.
The principal point Of difference be-
from the two sections has been over the
disposition of the negro Methodists
Bishop Cranston intimated that this
point is nearing adjustment.

HALIFAX, N. S.. January PA ter
rifo explosion occurred last night in
the Allan shafts Of the Acadia Coal
Company mine at Stellarton. Rescue
crews in alternating shifts today
searched the lower levels of the shafts
for possible survivors. There was
scant hope that any would be found
alive. At an early hour today revision
OF figures by mine officials showed there
were ninety-eight men in the mine at
the time of the explosion, of whom nine
escaped. Eleven bodies have been re-
covered and seventy-eiGht were still to
be accounted for.
Around the mouth Of the shafts today
were grouped the wives, mothers and
children of the men entombed. while
with them mingled many miners anx-
ious to offer assistance in the rescue
work, but obliged to give way to the
trained crews. There were pitiable
scenes as scorched and mutilated bodies
were Identified and relatives begged for
news Of the men below.
There Is possibility that the inn
prisoned men may be able to reach the
900-foot level and thence to the 500-foot
level. where they could be reached by
