 THNART RESCUE
Men Caught in Big Coal Mine
 Explosion Near Trinidad Are All Believed Dead; ReScuerS Are Unable to Reach Bodies

TRINIDAD, Colo, Aug. 1S.-Eight. cen men are believed dead, buried un. der the debris from the explosion at Il o'clock this morning in the Oak view mine of the Oakdale Coal com pany. near La Vela, Colo.
 At g o'clock tonight five rescue crews had recovered four bodies.
 Fumes from the gas explosion to- night filled the mine and several res cuers weer overcome and were reviv- ed with difficulty.
 Owing to the wrecked condition of the mine and gas fumes it was con- sidered doubtful whether the full death list could be learned tonight.
 Approximately 40 men were in the mine when the explosion occurred, in- cluding Fire Boss William Christo- pher. eTen-men escaped from the mine through the main slope after the ex- plosion and ten others made their way to the surface through an adjoining mine. William Davis, a miner, one of those overcome by the fumes, recover ed sufficiently to make his way to the surface. None of the others have been heard from.
 The explosion occurred about a mile and half in the working of the mine.
 Tonight. fearful throngs of women and children, relatives of the missing men, eagerly waited at the mine for word from the rescue crews. Volun- teer rescue crews came from the Wal senburg and Trinidad districts, and mine officials said the rescue attempts would be continued all night.
 Mine officials are checking a list of their employees in an effort to learn just how many men there are in the mine. Officials say there is slight chance that any of the men still are alive.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 19. - Adoption of a resolution requesting congress to cede public lands to the states and the formation of an organ, ization to urge this action in Wash ington, were two important moves made by the governors of western states, who concluded two-day con- ference on the public domain ques- tion today.
 Governor O. A. Larrazolo, of New Mexico, was elected permanent chair man of the League of Public Land States, the name adopted for the new organization.
 Governor Bamberger of Utah was elected vice-chairman and Edward Everret Young, chairman of the sol dier settlement board of New Mexico, secretary-treasurer.
 The resolution was presented by Governor EarraZolo, who has been the head of the movement which re- suited in the public land states con- ference and will be the base of |. memorial which will be sent to con gress.

 Kidnap Another American Citizen
 Only an hour or two after the de- partment issued it's statement in the case of the two aviators it made pub lie dispatches telling of the kidnap- ping of Dr. A. Goenaga, an American and native of Porto Rico, by Mexican bandits under Valentine Reyes. The dispatches said that Dr. Goenaga was being held for ransom in the vicinity of Mexico City.

 A constitution and platform will be formulated at the national conven- tion. it was announced and decision as to what candidates would entel in the 1920 campaign would be made.

 "The new party will represent the six million workers of organized labor in the United States and will have the cooperation of non-partisan leagues and farmers organizations fin various states" asid Robert M. Buck, eidtor of the official newspaper of the Illinois labor party.

the settlement was reached after Japan virtually had threatened to bolt the conference, but he added that President Wilson seemed to be alone in considering the threat more than pure bluff"
 Say Settlement Means War
 All the American experts on far eastern affai srat Versailles, MT. Mil lard declared, agreed that the settle ment meant war, He had heard that similar view was expressed in the letter from General Bliss to the presi- dent, which the latter declined to send to the senate as a matter of public policy.
 The United States, the witness as- serted, could not. avoid being drawn into such war.
 MT. Willard gave it as his personal view based on twenty years expe- rience with far eastern politics, taht Japan never would leave Snatung un- til she was confronted with "a supe- rior force"

 Asked whether he meant superior moral force imposed by the League of Nations, he replied: q mean material force; Japan does not care a snap of her fingers for moral force %
 During the day the strategic posi- tion of opposing forces in the treaty ratification fight in the senate showed no sign of change, but there was an- other outburst during which Senator Borah Renuh1iean ydaho dac1arad that news of unrest abroad was being suppressed by British and French news agencies while the senate is be- ing whipped to ratify the treaty before the facts are known"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-At a con. erence in some respects unparalleled in American history, President Wilson will talk over the peace negotiations and the treaty with the senate foreign relations committee tomorrow at the White House. By virture of extraordi- nary plans 70 inform the public of every word that is spoken, the meet ing will have the aspect of an open forum discussion at which the while nation can look on.
 Many Questions for President
 As head of the American peace dele gatiOn and one of the inner circle which formulated the world settle ment at Versailles the president is to be asked the meaning and purpose of provisions of the league of nations covenant, the reasons behind the de- cision to give Japan control in Shan tung province, just what part the United States is to take in reconstruc- tion and many other questions raised in senate consideration of the treaty.
 Whether MT. Wilson will answer full ly in so public a manner all the ques- tions put to him or will consider that some of the information he received at the peace table should be held in confidence as a matter of national policy remmains conjecture, but the committee means to give him the op- portunity if he choose to tell the story behind the treaty.

 STANDING ARMY
So Says Secretary Baker in Defense } Before Senate of Request For 576,00O; Says
 U. s. NoW'HaS 10,718 Planes

| WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-Secretary
 Baker defended today before the sen
 ate subcommittee on military affairs
 his recommendation for an army ot 576,O00 men, by saying that in view of the disturbed conditions in the world
 he did not wish the responsibility" O. asking for small force.
 Secretary Baker indicated several times that the bill as presented in- cluding it's provision for compulsory universal training for 19-year-old youths, was that of military experts rather than his own, although it had his approval. He said that his own guess" was that an army of 576. 900 was perhaps somewha tlarger than ne cessary, but that he did not wish to take the responsibility of opposing the couptry's greatest military men.
 Regarding the provision for mainte- nance of three divisions in the insular possessions the secretary admitted that the force appeared to him Some what large and agreed to the sugges- tion of Senator Wadsworth of New York that native troops might be used to advantage
 The secretary also considered as worth while suggestion that part of the youth of the country might be given the opportunity for naval train ing, possibly as a substitute for train ing they otherwise would receive in the army.
 Interrogation of the secretary offer- ed the opportunity for securing his opinion on the proposed establishment of an air ministry. Senator New of Indiana presented arguments for the separation of the military and naval aeronautics, but Secretary Baker was frank in his declaration of opinion that it would make for n,effieiency. Difficulty would be experienced, MT. Baker said, in maintaining the proper coordination under separate heads and if more adequate air service is desired, he suggested, 1t would be more practicable to utilize the existing military organization. Int testimony developed that the United States now has 10,71S airplanes, of which, how ever, only 632S are service planes.
 The major part of the present equip ment now is obsolete, but it was as- serted by the secretary the types are better than any in Europe.
 The secretary said that if the gov ernment wished to develop the air in- dustry, either for commerce. or for war purposes, the solution was simple. merely spend the money to buy moro planes.

Haste Urged in Both Houses;
 Complaint Made Something Already Should Have Been Done With Wilson's Appeals

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Quicker action by congress in its campaign to reduce the cost of living was urged to- day on senate and house. Senator Walsh declared high prices were at the bottom of all the unrest and charged that congress was wasting time when something should have been done already in response to President Wilson's recommendations.
 Mayors of New Jersey cities appear ing before the house agricultural com mittee said action was needed at once to stop the rising scale of prices. Regulation of imports was one means suggested. The amendments broaden ing the food control act will be con sidered tomorrow by the committee and probably reported to the house.
 Sale of surplus army food began to- day at storage centers throughout the country. Definite reports were not available. but it was believed that or ders had been received for many millions of pounds of canned meats. beans and other staples, to be sent out by parcel post.
 Debate in congress was occupied to a great extent by living costs prob lems.
 Absence of a quorum in the house delayed until tomorrow final action on resolution calling for the federal trade committee to begin immediate inquiry into "the increased price of shoes" Representative Siegel, Repub- lican, New York. submitted figures on the increased cost of clothing, which he said were obtained by New York manufacturers and showed that 'in most cases the retailer makes fifty percent profit and in some places 100 percent"
 The manufacturers cost, he said was due to the cost of labor. He pre- sented figures to show that an over coat costing the manufacturer $10.S5 in 1917, advanced to $1757 in 1918 and to $22.62 by last week. He urged that dealers be required to mark the cost prices on all commodities.
 The United Fruit company was at- tackled by Representative Fitzgerald. Democrat, Mass, who asserted it had made forty percent profit, and paid off millions of dollars of bonded in 1ebtedness not due for some time.

PREPAREDNESS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. t1S.- While no official of the southern de- partment will make any comment upon possible developments, an atmos- phere of preparedness is evident througuoht the offices at headquarters.
 Headquarters of the chief signal of ficer, where incoming telegrams and outgoing messages are handled, have become more than usually active. Al though local newspaper offices have not been advised of a censorship on news relating to troop and airplane movements, it is noticeable that mes sages of this kind, which hithertofore were received almost daily, have ceas- ed from border points. The recent ar rival of the veteran Second division at Camp Travis has given San An tonic more military atmosphere.
