INVESTIGATION IN TWO
GREAT mine TRAGEDIES

DAWSON, N. NJ, Feb. 10 (By The
Associated Press) The stretcher
borne cargo of burned and mutilated
victims of Thursday afternoons ex-
plosion still trickled ON Dawson
Mine No. /, of the Phelps-Dodge Cor
poration, today. Steadily throughout
the night the list of known dead in
the second great mine catastrophe to
visit this village in the last decade
mounted. At daybreak thirty-s1x
bodies had been removed from the
mass of debris cluttering the interior
of the workings from the mouth of
the shaft as far back as the rescuing
crews had penetrated. Two men
walked out of the mine unharmed
yesterday and eighty-four more were
believed to be in the mine.
Explosion Investigated
CUMBERLAND, B. c., Feb. 10
Investigation of an explosion OF fire
damp in Mine No. 4, of the Canadian
Collieries (Dinsmuir) Limited, near
here Thursday night, the death list
of which stood this morning at So,
has been halted to await clearing of
extensive masses of fallen rock.
No explanation had been offered
for the tragedy today. An explosion
last August in the same mine that
took 13 lives was attributed to igri-
ton of fire damp. An electric
spark that flashed when cable
leading to an electric drilling ma
chine broke. The nearest electric
machinery, a pump and a compress
sor, were a hundred feet from
Thursdays explosion and neither de-
vice was in operation.
Fourteen of the bodies recovered
were of white men and seventeen
those of Chinese. Two Chinese are
believed to be dead in the mine.

COSGRAVE ANNOUNCES HIS TERMS FOR PEACE
Tells Republican Army Members They Must Ac-
 cept Anglo-Irish Pact

Dublin. Jan. tBy the Associated Prcss)-A meeting of former officers Of the Tipperary brigade of the Irish republican army held in Thurles Sat urday. passed resolution calling for q peace conference and forwarded n copy to Michael Cosgrave head of tho Free State government who replied:
 Before you go further with your endeavors to secure peace 1t is well you should understand the position clearly.
 ''The basis for peace must pc that the treaty tAnglo Irish) shall stand without abrogation. explicit or iin- piled of any part of 1t;
 That the parliament established under the treaty and the constitution shall be the sole and sovereign au- tEority within the Jurisdiction as- signed to 1t in those instruments:
 That there shall be no armed force or military organization and no carrying of arms or war material ex- cept such as the same authority shall authorize or permits.
 That there shall be no claim on the part of any person. or person com ing under the proposed peace to ex- ercise powers of government or to act so as to threaten or endanger life, liberty, property or livelihood without or contrary to the same authority and that there shall be no interference with elections.
 Without these fundamental condt- tions any so-called peace can only be q false peace, endangering the whole future of Ireland and removing hope of national unity"

Paris. Jan. tBy Associated Press1
 Near East aairs were discussed here today by the British premier and the secretary for foreign affairs in his cabinet. Lord curzon who heads the British delegation at Lau- same and who came to Paris for q talk with his chief while the latter was awaiting the opening Of the separations conference spent the whole forenoon discussing with MT. Bonar Law the Near East situation and different phases of the Lausanne gathering.
 France awaited tomorrow's confer ence of the allies with the assurance to the public through the press that the governmental policy had not been changed since the London con ference of premiers on reparations Of which the Paris meeting is a con- tinuation. This policy as succinctly reiterated. has the following for It's main features:
 No reduction Of German repara- tions without correspondent cancel lation of the inter-allied debt. France DSihb WihtHb tO sst tHe cNdiHpfe Dy cancelling sums due here from cer- tain allies.
 If such compensatory action is adjudged impossible France Is pre- pared to pay interest on her debts. but not until she has received from Germany the sum necessary for the reconstruction of the devastated re- gions. which is calculated as about equivalent to what France ought to receive from the Class A and Glass B bonds provided for by the Yer sailles treaty. As the French gov ernment considers that any mora torium If the granting of one is found to be inevitable Is due to Germanys fault 1t takes the position that such a moratorium should be for a term not exceeding two years which is re- garded as sufficient for the reorgani- zation of Germany's finances.
