VILLA PUSHES
ON ZACATECAS
Second Rebel Attack Started
Against Huerta Stronghold
CARRANZA SPLIT PATCHED UP
Dictator Huerta Intjnds to Make Bat
tle at Zacatecas Decisive One and
Federal Force Haa Been Reinforced.
Carranza supporters are satisfied
now that their leader's difference with
General , Villa has been patched up
and that" the two men are working
in common to drive the forces of Gen
eral Huerta back toward Mexico City.
Word that Villa had begun the sec
ond attack on Zacatecas with General
Natera, a Carranza man, co-operating,
was most, convincing evidence that
the Constitutionalists of northern Mex
ico are not disorganized by petty
factional quarrels.
While Zacatecas Is not In any sense
a strong strategical point for either
army to hold, Villa has already an
nounced his Intention to sweep the
north and rentral portions, of Mexico
free of federals In his march on the
capital.
It Is understood that Huerta plans
to make his most desperate resist
ance to Villa's march toward Mexico
City at this point. Encouraged by the
first successful defense of the city
Huerta has added to his military force
there and, according to unofficial ad
vices received here, Is confident cf
checking the successful march of the
rebels toward Mexico City and pro
longing his tenure.
Reinforcements are being held In
readiness at Mexico City to rush to
the aid of the federals if necessary.
Wilson Set on Naming Rebel.
In reply to the note given out by
the Mexican delegates to the media
tion conference the American repre
sentatives made public a long state
ment giving their reasons for support
ing a Constitutionalist for provisional
president and opposing a neutral as
advanced by the Huerta envoys.
According to the belief In Washing
ton there can be no hope for peace
now unless a Constitutionalist or a
man acceptable to the Constitutional
ists be made president until elections
can be held. In this contention the
United States will not yield an inch.
The Wilson plan as outlined by
Justice Lamar and Mr. Lchmann is
that the elections to be held in Mex
ico be supervised by representatives
of both parties. The delegates promise

The rebel march upon Mexico Cit
Is now on In earnest. Pancho Villa,
Bupreme commander of his own army
without Interference from Carranza,
has taken up the march from Torreon

Villa's march upon Zacatecas was

Villa will co-operate with the Carranza
generals on to the Mexican capital un
less he is defeated by Huerta's forces.

Algeria Colliery Is Wrecked by
Terrific Explosion
WORKERS ENTOMBED BY ROCK
Of Fifty Miners Taken Out Alive
Thirty-six Die Moans of Trapped
Men Heard by Force of Rescuers.
An explosion of gas in the mine uf
the Hill Crest Collieries Ltd. at Hill
Crest, Alberta, Canada, entombed i50
men.
Tho explosion was terrific. ;.t
wrecked small buildings in the
vicinity, taking the roofs off miners'
cabins and filling the entrance to the
mine with debris.
The effects of the disaster were:
Number of rescued, 60, of whom 3G
died later.
Miners' bodies brought out, 181; be
lieved only 8 bodies now remain in
the mine.
Appeals for help were dispatched to
many towns and in the meantime resi
dents organized an emergency crew
and began the work of rescue.
When the first rescue crew arrived
a large force of men set about to
clear the shaft, working desperately
as the moans of the entombed men
came feebly from the mine. The
moans became fainter and finally
ceased. Thousands of tons of rock
have fallen into the mine and It is
feared that the men, even had they
escaped death from the poisonous
fumes, probably were crushed to death
by the falling debris.
No Information as to what caused
the explosion has been given, but It Is
believed it was due to the forming uf
gases.
Thomas Quigley, superintendent of
the mine, is among those entombed.
Two trains filled with expert mine
workers, doctors, nurses and officials
of railways arrived at the scene and
the work of rescue was begun in a
systematic way. As the experts en
tered the mine they found, jumbled in
a chaotic mass, horses, timbers,
wagons and mining paraphernalia, In
dicating the force of the explosion.

"This is the young man's age," de
clared Vice President Thomas R.
Marshall In his address at Crawford
ville, Ind., at the commencement exer
cises of Wabash college. "
"The old man is being shoved off
the stage everywhere. Failing physical
vision Is assumed to make a like
dimness of intellectual sight. Scien
tific truth is not sufficient to establish
the leadership of youth. This leader
ship must be established by an open
ness of mind, by waving the ancient
prerogative of being right without in
formation. "Tho old order ot education has
changed," said the vice president In
conclusion. "It furnished a philosophy
and taught men tiiat happiness was
not in liis material surrounding in
position or power but in his own pur
pose and conduct. The humanities
have been forgotten in the rush for
success."

For some unknown reason nickels
have almost passed out of circulation
in and around Pottsvillu, l'u., and the

Out of a consignment of $150,000,
mostly in small coin, the paying de

Iron company did not get a shule
nickel and found it very diU'.eult to
make up the exact pay of the miners.
The banks, when appealed to, could

It Is said the scarcity of coins is ac

OIL TANK FIRE
MENACES TOWN
Twenty-four Dwellings Are De
stroyed at Meadowlands, Pa.
LIGHTNING STARTS FLAMES
People of Town Forced to Leavs
When Other Tanks In Fire Zone Be
come Hot Threatening to Explode.
Meadowlands, Pa., June 23.
Twenty-four dwellings were burned
and 400 residents were driven from
their homes when a 30,000-barrel oil
tank was struck by lightning and
boiled over in the heart of the town.
An unldeiitilied man was burned
badly, one buy is missing and another
lad, who was ill In bed, died as a re
sult of exposure. The missing boy ii
a Ron of Mike Cholack.
All business places here are closed
and everyone is ready to flee to the
bills in case other tanks ignite from
the one burning. Flames are spouting
seventy-five feet above the burning
oil, and are within a few feet of an
other 30,000-gallou tank filled with the
lluid.
iMeudowlunds is a mining village
five miles east of Washington. The
houses burned were the property of
the Meadowlands Coal company. They
adjoin the Rich Hill mine.
Immediately after the tank began
to burn hundreds ot worklngmen were
brought here to dig trenches, so that
the oil could be drawn away from the
tank. In this manner 6,000 barrels ot
petroleum were directed into the
creek. The oil on the water, however,
created a new menace to the town.
The creek passes through the vil
lage and under a railroad bridge. It
was feured that sparks from locomo
tives might Ignite the oil and wipe out
the town. Worklngmen set to work at
once and the railroad bridge was cov
ered with sheet iron.
Superintendent McCue, in chargo ol
the pump statiou here, put 100 men
directing water ou nearby tanks,
There are about twenty-five of the big
oil receptacles within five or six acres.
The wind bore the Dames dangerously
near other tanks. This was what
caused the blazo to spread, destroying
tite twenty-four dwellings. Smoke fills
the sky and shuts out the sun for sev
eral miles around.
All possible precaution is being
taken to prevent residents from being
trapped in their homes In case an
other tank takes fire and boils over.
Excitement prevailed when the tank
containing the burning oil collapsed.
Oil flowed In every direction and the
flumes licked up all that came within
reach.
W. II. I.ehew, who came here from
Pittsburgh, Is directing the work
being done by the railroad. All of the
fast trains are running through here
at a slow rate and guards are kept at
the railroad bridge to give alurin In
case the oil on the creek should Ignite.
The oil now burning will not die out
for two or three days, oil men say,
and In this time other tanks close at
hand will become so hot that it will
be little less than a miracle If they do
not take fire.
"All we can do," said Mr. McCue,
"la to wait uud see If other tanks
ignite. If they do. everything will be
destroyed and the people will be
driven clear away from this vicinity."
MISSING LINK FOUND
Ellis Island Physician Sees In Finn
Perfect Man-Ape.
The missing link between man and
monkey which Darwin looked for but
never found a man-ape with all the
characteristics ot our alleged treu
climbing ancestors except a tall was
found ubout three weeks ago at Ellis
Island at tho entrance to New York
harbor and described to tho rosearch
association nt Columbia university by
Dr. Howurd Knox, stationed at Ellis
island.
"The case I am speaking ot was a
Klnn, thirty years of age," said Dr.
Knox. "The bead wus oue, the ex
ternal anatomy of which I will nevet
be likely to forget. Tho forehead was
low and receding, tho eyebrows long
und shaggy, tho eyes sliurp and
piercing, thi nose saddle shaped with
a prominent tip, tho Hps large and
protruding and the chin massivo and
heavy."
Dr. Knox described the man as
having teeth formed and arranged like
an ape's, ears below their normul posi
tion and unusually long arms. His
bands were remarkable In that ea:ll
little finger had but two phalanges
making them virtually thumbs that
could lie used with another linger.
They were very short. Tho man was
also round shouldered and flat footed
and his mentality was of a low order,
although lie could rend and write.
