evidence which would slow how
much money Mrs. Ruth Hanna Me

the Republican nomination to the
United States Senate in the eight
Illinois counties in which her expen-

The expenditure reported by Alex

BODIES OF Mine
FIRE VICTIMS
ARE RECOVERED
Placer Mine Destroyed;
Flames Eating Way
Into Tahoe Forests.

COLFAX, Calf, July Is. WH-
With the charrcd bodies of five
miners tentatively identified and
flames rapidly eating their way in.
to the nearby Tahoe National
forest, state and federal aid was
today rushed to the scene of the
fire that yesterday destroyed the
Glenn Placer mine in the Sierra
mountains.
The conflagration broke out, it
was believed, in the cook house near
the mines entrance. The super
structure, including the compressor
and vcntilating apparatus were soon
destroyed, and the flames spread
into the main shaft and cut off all
means of escape for the five miners
working in l,J00 foot horizontal
shaft.
A small group Of mOuntaineers,
including one woman, worked fran
tically to stem the blaze by form
ing bucket brigade but their cf-
forts proved futile and later the
badly burnt bodies were brought to
the surface in such condition that
positive Identification was diff
cult.
1t was thought that gas fumes
had caused death first and that the
flames had ravaged the men after
they had suffocated. A report that
one man was still entOmbed in the
lower part of the shaft was thought
to be erroneous.
While an effort was still being
made to get the men out alive, air
planes flew over the mine from Sac
ramento and dropped gas masks to
the group fighting the flames. The
extremely rugged nature of the sur
rounding country made landing
impossible.
Robcrtson's Flat, where the Glenn
Placer mine is located, lies high in
the Sierra mountains in very
thinly settled and inaccessible see
tion, making the recruiting of res
cue squads difficult.
Complete charge of the battle
waged to check the flames was tax
en- by r. l.. p. Bigelow, forest sup
ervisor, stationed at Nevada City,
who happened to be near the mine.
The dead men were identified as
James Campini, E. c. Shepherd, G.
b. Henry, Tom Captain and Joseph
Sherrer were taken to an undertak-
ing establishment at Auburn.

Governor Young Declares
California Willing To
Pay Expenses.

LOS ANGELES, July -. U.H-
Governor c. C. Young today acted
to expedite the return to California
of John Mac Donald, itinerant
waiter and key witness in the state s
case against Tom Mooney and War
rem X. Billings.
Macdonald, who made positive
Identification of Moony and Billings
at the San Francisco murder trials
and since has signed affidavits il
reputation, will be questioned furth,
er regarding his conflicting state
ments, according to the governor.
The governor said California was
willing to defray Macdonald s eX-
penses to this state, and added:
81 am in receipt of a telegram
from attorneys of John Macdonald,
now living in Baltimore stating that
he had made an affidavit before
the states attorney of that city
to the following effect:
"That his testimony in the trials
of Mooney and Billings and the
others was a complete fabrication
and false in all its essential details
that he did not see either Mooney or
Billings at the place where the eX-
plOsion occurred; that his Identified
tion of them at the trial was untrue
that he never saw either of the men
in his life until they were shown to
him at the police station and their
names given him by police, and
that he was told to identify them
by officials in charge of the prose
cution.

elarcd in radio address here last
night devoted to description of the
states finances and tax system and
a severe verbal lambasting of his
two major opponents for renomina-
ton, Buron Fits and James Rolph
Jr., for making statements lacking
"the least semblance of fact.
Exploding the claims of the oo-
position candidates that the state
government is costing excessively,
that corporations are escaping their
Just share of taxes, that the treasury
surplus is being depleted and point
ing out that the ordinary citizen
pays no state taxes at all. the gov
ernor paid his respects to Mr.. Rolph
and Mr.. Fits in the following
language:
Certain candidates for governor
are industriously making statements
about California s governmental af-
fairs SO utterly removed from the
least semblancc of fact that they
would be amusing if they were not
fraught with 80 much danger in mis-
informing the citizens as to their
government.
"These statements might be re
garded as Intentionally misleading,

REED FAVORS PACT
Urges Senate To Ratify
London Naval Treaty
OF Limitations.

WASHINGTON, July Ii. W.D-
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia, today OH the senate floor
forced publication of the secret
American proposal made by Secrc-
tary of State Stimson to the London
naval conference on Feb. ., 1880.
Johnson obtained the paper from
Senator Reed, Republican, Penpsyl-
vania, at the conclusion of the lat
tcr's speech explaining the pact
and urging its ratification.
Although the full text of the pro.
posal is now made public for the
first time, its provisions were out
lined by Secretary of State Stimson
during testimony before the senate
foreign relations committee.
The proposal asked for l8 large
cruisers which were finally allowed
in the treaty. The navy general
board had proposed 81 as mini
mum. The documents also provided
for n "supcr Rodney" $4,000 ton
battlcship for Japan and the
United States to offset the alleged
superiority of Britain's Post -Jut-
land Rodney and Nelson ships.
Stimson told the senate committee
this was put forward as a trading
point. 1t was severely opposed in
Britain and was dropped. The
American proposal also recommend
ed modernization of existing ships
including elevation of guns which
was incorporated in the treaty.
Johnson said the proposals were
among the papers which had been
given the senate foreign relations
committee under seal of confidence
by Secretary of State Stimson
When johnson asked for the paper,
Reed produced it.
Reed replied he would put it in
the record and sent IL TO the clerks

YOUTHFUL PILOT
BADLY HURT IN
AIRPLANE CRASH
GOldsborOugh Is Pinned
Beneath Wreckage For
Many Hours.

BENNINGTON, Vt, July -. (U,D
Frank Goldsborough, 10 year old
holder of the junior trans-contin-
entail flight record, was brought to
Putnam hospital here today almost
a full "a hours after he had suffer
ed fractured skull in an airplane
crash.
He was removed later to the OPP
Grating room. Drs. j. c. Armstrong
and John Trotter decided to Oper-
ate on his skull.
He had lain pinned beneath the
wreckage of his plane through a
cold night after Donald MOckler,
New York publicity agent, who had
been thrown from the plane when
it struck, trudged through dense
woods and underbrush to get aid
here.
The accident occurred near an
abandoned lumber camp, eight miles
from Woodford, the nearest com
munity while Goldsborough and
Mockler were enroute from Cleve
land, o., to Keene, \. H., where
Mockler was engaged to lecture last
night. Unable to judge his alti-
tude properly because of fog, the
young pilot brought his ship too
low, Upon striking the tree, one
wing and part of the tail was sew
cred from the plane. The remain
der fell to earth.
Mockler tried in vain for an
hour to eXtricate Goldsborough
from the wreckage. Finally, he de-
termined he would have to get as
sistance. Mockler thought at the
time that injured legs were the ex-
tent of GoldsbOrough's injuries.
WOODSFORD, VT, July 10. W.H
Unconscious but alive Frank
Goldsborough, 10 year old aviator
who was trapped in the wreckage
of an airplane which crashed in
mountainous country near here yes
terday, was found by four Benning-
ton men today.
One of the searching party, Fred
Allen, sighted the wreckage at a
point between Sucker Pond and
Stamford Meadows, about 8 miles
south of here. With his compan-
ions, Albert Fontineau, Leonard
Lawrence and Fred johnson, Allen
extricated the youthful pilot.
Goldsborough ad Donald Mockler,
%, publicity agent, were enroute
from Cleveland, o., to Keene, n.
H., where Mockler was to lecture
last night. Fog obscured the steep
country below and the pilot struck
tree when he directed the air
plane too low.
A wing of the ariplane clung to
the tree, the remainder falling to
earth. Mockler was thrown clear
and suffered only cuts and bruises.
Exhaustion from a five-hour hike
to Bennington plus the strain of
trying to direct searchers result
ed in Mockler's collapse last night.
He refused to be taken to hos
pital, and after resting by Il camp
fire, took part again in the hunt.
Allen and his companions said
there were no indications Colds
borough had suffered broken limbs.
Mockler was unable to extricate
Goldsborough from the tangled
cockpit, and trekked to Benning-
ton for aid. He led the first
searching party that started out
from Bennington last night.
