Is Trapped Miners Seem
Doomed in Blazing Shaft

HARRINGTON, KY, Nov. 16.-
Fire near the opening of the
Arnold mine, one-half mile east
of here, has entrapped sixteen
men and with the conflagra, ion
growing in extent little hope is
held of rescuing them.
The fire can be heard blazing
under the ground and smoke is
pouring forth. The men trapped,
numbering three white men and
thirteen negroes, are three miles
back from the entrance and it is
feared they will suffocate.
Any attempt at rescue thus far
has been without result and an
effort is now being made to re
verse the air through the air
shaft, thus keeping the smoke
rom the miners.

PLEA MADE BY ENVOY
PLAN GRANTEES BORDER

Special despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
BROWNSVILLE. Tex, Nov. 16.-The
President of Mexico, apparently
determined to construct at once a
policy of friendliness and understand
ing and unhampered commerce be-
tween his own country and this, is al
most insistent in his desire to meet
personally and confer with the Presi-
dent-elect Of the United States.
Alvaro Obregon has invited Warren
G.. Harding to go to Mexico city, espe-
cially urging him to be present at
Obregon's inauguration on Novem-
Der 80. The request is officially sup
ported by Provisional President De la
Huerta.
Recognizing that the itinerary for
Senator Harding might not permit of
an excursion into the interior of
Mexico, Gen. Oregon suggests that it
might be possible for him to pause
at Vera Cruz on his way from Colon
to Norfolk. These requests are couched
in urgent terms. The envoy of the
Mexican Government and of Gen.
Oregon stated that it was "the par
ticular desire" and the very earnest
desire" Of the Moxican authorities.
Senator Harding assured Elias L.
Torres. the envoy. that 1t would give
III, 20
the request. but he was afraid trip to
Mexico city was out of the question be-
cause of the demands OF an itinerary
that had been made some time ago. He
left the way open. however, for a stop
at Vera Cruz and for a conference with
General Obregon at that port.
Until Senior Torres arrived here Sem
ator Harding had thought 1t best on the
whole to avoid contact with the Mexican
Government or with individuals who will
b. In the coming Government. He took
the stand that he was not yet President
and that he did not desire to do any
thing that might embarrass President
Wilson now. However. the Mexican
Government and General Oregon have
been so pressing in their invitation that
he may see the situation in a new light.
The belief here is that n meeting be-
tween Presidents-elect Harding and
Obrgon might produce happy results for
both countries In this part of the coun-
try Obregon is highly regarded as a sim
cere and able man; perhaps Mexcos
only hope. The border seems to wish
for such a conference. 1t is possible,
even probable. that the two Presidents
elect will meet before the first of De-
cember and that in their meeting
brand new and stable policy of Mexican
American relations will be outlined.
Senior Torres conferred with Senator
Harding IN the presence of Senator

that it would give h m the greatest
pleasure and delight to- accept the in

arranged it nerary for his trip He eN.
PRESSED himself as deeply appreciatins
ard fully reciprocating the sentiment

the invitation and the cordial manner
az its presentat on. He suggested that
it would hardly be possible for him to
make the trip into the interior Of Mex

Oregon, but he added that he woulC
consider arrangements TO have the
steamer on which the Hard ng party
will travel to the Canal Zone touch AT
some Mexican port, probably Vera

to him, but he could give no definite
assurance about such modification Of
