IT

Cha 1IAlIS IL WN NAV YARD,
BOSTON. Mass, Jan. 6-What
happened at the bottom of the
sea will be told by Lieut.. Comdr.
Edward Ellsberg, director of the
rescue operations on the sunken
submarine 81, scheduled to be
called os the Wrist witness today
hefore the naval court of inquiry
aEests"at;nG the disaster.
It was Ellsberg, the hero of the
submarine S-51 salvage operations
two yeaJ ago. who vainly drew on
his genius in an attempt to rescue
the survivors of the entombed
crew of the S-4 in Provincetown,
harbor, following the submersible's
collision with the Coast Guard
cutter Paulding several weeks ago.
Puzzled on Technique
Ellsberg will tell his dramatic
tale OF the futile efforts to save the
six survivors in the torpedo room
Of the 50. He will be questioned
by the members of the board as to
the salvage technique used and as
to why air was not pumped in
through the sc tubes sooner than
it was.
The traditional rivalry between
the regular Navy and the Coast
Guard service Is screened behind the
formal courtesy of the hearing.
Commander Leroy Reinberg, COM
handing the division under which
the Paulding operated, testified that
the vessel was assigned to rum
chasing duty on the day 1t collided
with the S-4.

Mine FLOOD
FOILS RESCUE
Ill Still Entombed In
Mexico; Water Rises
AS Fires Rage

MEXICO CITY, March i2.-P1-
A dispatch 10 I'll Universal from Te-
ziutlan today said that water was
rising and flooding Aurora mine,
near there, where eleven men are
entombed. Rescuers were separated
from the entombed miners BY a cur
tain OF fire and whether they were
alive was not known.
Eight bodies were recovered by
rescue squads last night. The toll
today stood at twenty-five dead and
forty-five injured. The majority OF
the injured were suffering from gas
poisoning and poisonous gases were
reported to be spreading through the
upper levels.
An American foreman named
Morris was taken iii after directing
the rescue work for s~eventy-two
hours during which time he saved
several miners. Doctors feared that
he might become insane because Of 3
nervous breakdown.
c. A. Lantz, chief Of the relief ex-
petition from Pachuca, believed that
the entombed men died either
through asphyxiation, drowning or
starvation. He said water was slow
ly flooding the mine.
]. r. Boyd, provisional manager Of
the Mexican corporation which owns
the mine, took charge of the relief
work which is being pushed feverish-
ly despite the belief that the men are
dead.
More than 500 persons were re-
ported to have gathered nea the
mine, anxicusly waiting in the
~dwindling hope that relatives or
friends might come out alive.
Daniel Moreno, n Of the rescue
crew, became crazed when lowered
inside the pit TO attend the pumps.
Francisco Rodriguez and his
nephew, Miguel. fell dead inside the
mine while attempting to drag out
unconscious miners. Rodriguez who
previously was reported as a mine
foreman, today was stated TO have
been an unemployed miner. Cover
ing his mouth with his handkerchief,
he entered the mine and pulled
eleven workers into the open before
he succumbed to the poisonous gases.
Representatives of the regional
confederation of Mexican workers
conducting an investigation on the
scene declared that the company was

cause although the fire broke out AZ
noon Thursday the night shift was
allowed to enter the mine.

Confined to the hospital with an
inflammed eye, Judge Findley has
been unable to 20 out on the firing

the battle for him. More than so Sc
attic business men and attorneys,
seeking to return a man of Judge
Findley's ability in the judiciary,
have formed volunteer campaign
committee and are out to elect him
in Department 10 again.
This committee is actuated by the
highest motives. Judge Findley is
unable to make the usual campaign
because of his temporary indisposi-
ton. The committee is furnishing
speakers, publicity and advertising in
Findley's behalf.
For many years Findley was chair
man of the state board of law exam
liners. Since his elevation to the
bench he has earned praise by his
fearless Interpretation of the law and
the soundness of his decisions, few
of which have been reversed by the
supreme court.
Members of the bar and bench as

Don Evans Announces
Declaration. Of Principles

Don H. Evans will be elected to
the office of county commissioner
from the city district next Tuesday.
From every section come favorable
reports. a.
His stand against the Paul Brown
gang, which is spending thousands
in its effort to elect it's candidate,
has made him countless votes.
+. He is honest and qualified and has
the endorsement of every important
organization in the city that has
taken stand on the matter.
His opponent has not been en-
dorsed by any of these with the cx-
eeption of one instance-surely the
best evidence of Mr.. Evans. qualifi-
cations. .4aE ne ~ q. 81 sz.
He has promised to clean out the
Paul-Brown gang-He has. said he
will clean house at the County City
Building-and he means it.
His declaration of principles which
follows should insure his election by
one of the largest majorities ever
given a candidate as a protest
against the Paul-Brown gang.
Don H. Evans says: liz. ..ats
II would break up the Paul-BroWn
combination in the board of county
commissioners and save the people
from hard consequences of their
selfish scheming, their waste and
their ineffieiency.
IL would let the pitiless light of
publicity shine on this strange al
lance which already has cost the
taxpayers enormous sums and which
threatens further raids on the public
treasury.
81 would obtain an inventory of
county property and an accounting
of purchases. l would put an end
to Che location of public highways
for private gain and for the improve
ment of property owned by members
of the board of commissioners.
81 would prevent the dissipation
of road funds to build up political
machines, and I would save the
county engineers department from
the ruthless hands of these wreck
ers." ..-..
