ELEVEN BODIES
Of MINERS ARE
OUT Of SHAT 7
Harco Mine at Harrisburg,
Ill.,, to Be Sealed Pending
Investigation BY State;
Dynamite Blast Blamed.
fBy The Associated Press.)

Harrisburg, 1li., Aug. 31.-EleV-
en- bodies of miners, entombed late
today in the Harco mine following
a dynamite explosion, were brought
to the surface tonight. They were
found at 445 to 1000 feet below
the mouth of the mine.
The men were entombed when a
dynamite charge in new coal bed
penetrated an old walled room,
loosening black damp, which Is be-
lieved to have caused their death.
A special train bearing a United
States mine bureau car was dis
patched to the mine within an
hour after the accident.
Seven men who escaped the ex-
plosion but who are suffering from
the effects of black damp, were
taken to local hospitals. 1t is be-
lieved they will recover.
The mine will be sealed tomor-
row by state authorities, who will
issue a permit after an investiga-
ton authorizing continuance OF op-
Grafton.
Volunteer rescue teams were or
ganized by miners but their efforts
were futile as the blacl; damp drove
them back. :.
A check of the miners tonight
showed that 436 had entered the
shaft this morning, and that all but
those dead had been returned to
the surface. Warnings after the ex-
plosion by miners in nearby shafts
probably saved their lives.

DECISION BY SUPREME COURT
OF MEXICO Believed TO END
u. S. fight OF ARTICLE n
President Obregon Supports Belief By Reiter-
ating That Article in Question Was Never
Intended to Be Retroactive; May Change
American Attitude on Recognition.
tBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. /,

Mexico City, Aug. 81 (by the
Associated Press) Local repre-
sentatives of American oil compa-
MES declined today to express opin-
ions concerning the action of the
supreme court Tuesday night in
unanimously granting an injunc-
tion to the Texas company enjoin-
ing the Mexican department of
commerce and industry from de-
nouncing rights to oil lands held by
the Texas company prior to May |,
1917 They said they preferred
not to give their opinions until the
text of the decision of the court is
published.
1t was the general sentiment
here, however, that the non-retro-
activity of Article 27 of the MeXi-
can constitution has been definitely
decided by the decision, and that
supporting the supreme courts de-
c'sion is President Obregon's reit-
Grafton that the famous Article 21
never was construed by his govern
ment as being retroactive.
The question most frequently
asked today was what would be the
attitude of the United States to-
ward recognition of Mexico if the
supreme courts action is construed
as the final word on the retroactiv-
ity of Article 27.

optimists and several newspapers

TARIFF ON HIDES
ASKED Of SENATE
FINANCE GROUP
Cattle Men Ask Committee
for 20 to rs Per Cent Duty
Instead of Is Per Cent
Refused BY House.

Washington. Aug. 31.-The fight
for a tariff on hides, provision
of the Fordney bill, killed by the
house, was opened today before
the senate finance committee.
Cattle men, through Frank B..
McClain, Lancaster, Pa. vice pres
ident of the National Livestock
Exchange, asked the committee for
a tariff of 20 to 25 per cent instead
of the IS per cent duty voted down
by the house. Asked whether 25
per cent duty would increase the
cost of shoes to the consumer, the
witness thought it ought not to
raise the price cents pair.
He followed this with charge
that shoe manufacturers were
making eXorbitant profits, declar-
ing that "shoes to fit 3-year-old
child cost the farmer more than he
gets for the hide from his 1900
pound steer" .....
Talk about normalcy," Mr. Nc
Claim asserted, there can be no
normalcy, no dawn OF a new day
until the dollar of the farmer buys
for him the same as the dollar
which he takes for what he sells"

Freight rates, they declared.

of traffic. Grain producers have
made no appeals to the roads for
reduced freight rates, they added.

Belfast, Aug. 81 (by the Associ-

today experienced another period

As result the death list was aug

Today's casualties bring the to-

have been 100 persons more or less

With quiet intervals, resulting
from the police putting snipers to
flight, shooting persisted at various
sections of the city from early
morning until late this evening
Sometimes it became so dangerous
as to necessitate suspension Of the

could not reach their places of en-
ployment and returned home. In
some disturbed districts manufac-
