SUPERIOR, Ariz., Nov. 25.-Offi-

Company ordered their mine here
flooded a few hours after fire broke
out, and while five miners were still
below, and probably alive They will
be drowned by the water.
Forty-nine men of the graveyard
shift (11.3O to 7.3o am were at work
when the fire started below the 1850
foot level. There were forty-nine men
in the shaft when the fire started and
forty-two escaped. One other man,
Zeno Daley, an Indian, escaped with
the forty-two, but rushed back below
to try and rescue some of the seven
missing.
Two Bodies Found.
The flames spread rapidly through
the dry timbering. and turned all
underground workings between the l.
$50 level and the 2,200 foot level into
a furnace. Rescuing parties found two
charred bodies and brought them out.
This left five men unaccounted for.
Miners who knew that it was quite
possible that the men might be bar
ricaded in some old working place, or
either below or above the fire zone,
pleaded with the management not to
flood the mine before further rescue
work could be tried.
However, the flames were con
stantly destroying more timber, and
the company refused to wait.

WINSTON CHURCHILL
DENIES CECIL'S CHARGE
British Minister Also Says Income
Tax Will Not Be Raised
in Next Levy.

BY the Associated Press
KELSO, Scotland, September Swim
ston Churchill, chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, hinted in a speech today at
Floors Castle that the next budget
would not involve an increase in the
income tax, since the nation was re-
covering satisfactorily from last years
Industrial upheavaI.
Alluding to the Tripartite Disarma-
ment Conference, the chancellor said
that, if it was a failure it was not
failure for which Great Britain had
any responsibility.
With reference to Lord Cecirs re-
cent statement that he was not in
agreement with the other members of
the British government in the disarm-
ament negotiations, Mr.. Churchill re.
marked that doubtless in this or that
direction, Lord Cecil had suggestions
which we found went farther than We
ourselves were able to go. But, it is
my sincere belief, with very full
knowledge of all the circumstances.
that IL every suggestion Lord Cecil
made had been put forward at Geneva
on the authority of the British govern
