Va. RESCUE PARTIES AT WORK Sixty-seven Men, Many of Them Burned Taken From Mine Alive Eccles, W. Yn., April 29.—Hope tlmt sonic of the 178 miners, imprisoned in -Mine Xo. 5 of the New River Collieries Company, wreck with Mine No. 6 by an explosion yesterday, might still lie alive stirred the throng on the moun tainside shortly before noon. A rescue party, driven out of Xo. t>. reported they had heard sounds as of digging: beyond the barriers of debris choking the connecting entry. A party of fresh miners was hurried into the entry and they attacked the fallen mass of rocks with renewed vigor. Eight bodies have been recovered from shaft Xo. 6 and sixty-seven men were taken out alive. A rescue party was dropped down shaft Xo. 5 soon after S o'clock and got within 129 feet of the bottom. There the progress of the cage was stopped by broken and twisted tim bers and a heavy fall of earth. Work >vas commenced clearing away the de bris, and it was thought the bottom could lie reached this afternoon. Xo gas was detected on this level and mining experts expressed the be lief the mine was not on tire. Governor H. D. Hatfield, of West Virginia, is in charge of the relief work, while Earl Henry, chief of the State Department of Mines, and H. C. Bayles, general manager of the col lieries company, are leading the res ue crews. Tho entrances to the mines are far j apart, but the workings join under j ground. When tlie dust exploded in) mine Xo. 5 the fumes entered Xo. 6 I shaft and there the eleven known oead were killed. Prompt measures' taken by Superintendent Thomas Donaldson resulted in the rescue of sixty-one from No. fi shaft. Many of those rescued are burned severely and improvised hospitals here and at Beekley are crowded. When it was fqtind Xo. ■> was burn ing the entrance was "losed and the entrances to Xo. ti workings were brattlced. Tho task of finding the bodies in Xo. 5 shaft must wait until the flames have been extinguished. Most of the miners are American horn, although there are quite a num ber of foreign born workers. Of the bodies recovered eight were white Americans, one negro and two foreign born. The explosion was terrific. A rum bling noise was heard through the town and as residents rushed to tno entrances of the mines, timbers, pieces of ears and other debris shot from the mouth of No. 5 shaft. Many of those rescued said they were overcome by the gas fumes be fore they knew what had happened. The first man to leave the mine shafts climbed to the surface of No. 6 hand over-hand on a rope. Two carloads of coffins ordered last night from Cincinnati are being brought here during the day. Chief Henry made a trip in the No fi workings after midnight this morn ing and found much debris. Efforts will be made to effect an entrance to No. 5 shaft to-day. Says More Money Goes For Study of Bugs Than For Safety of Miners Washington, D. C..

They had come to protest against the Colorado strike. A woman, who said she was a So cialist. invaded the outer offices of Jelin D. Rockefeller, Jr., in the Stand ard Oil building to-day and sought to interview him with reference to the coal miners' strike in Colorado. Mr. Rockefeller's secretary told her that he was busy at conference. The woman carried an American nag into the offices and described her self as Mrs. Belle X. Silverman. Sho was joined on the sidewalk by Upton Sinclair, who wore a bit of crepe on his arm in pursuance of a plan an nounced at a Socialist mass meeting last night, where it was agreed that "mourners" should gather in front of the Standard Oil building as a protest against the sacrifice of lives in Colo rado. Mrs. Silverman and Sinclair were the tirst to arrive on the scene. Mrs. Silverman sought to place this message before young Rockefeller: "I am an American citizen, standing at your door, waiting for just a word with you. Will you grant me this re quest?

April 29.—With the I advent of tho mediation oroceedings upon the Mexican stage there comes a halt in the march of events. For a period, at least, there is time to pause and catch breath. This respite should be used in set ting our own house in order so far as concerns the handling of the fateful iss- ■ upon us. There is urgent need of change, how urgent it is not the part of wisdom to tell at this time. But some facts can be stated and should be, before it is too late. The plain truth is that President Wilson, whose entire training has been to make him lea'st efficient in a time liko this, will neither take ad vice nor even consult with advisers. By law the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, he will not hold audience with tho chief officers of these forces, men who know the science of warfare, men whose experience and verdict at such a crisis are invaluable.

President Huerta, Minister of War Blanquet and Foreign Minister Port ilioy Rojas assured Commander Twee die they would release all American | prisoners and that all Americans de siring to do so might leave Mexico but that the trains on which they would go would not lie provided with escorts. The train on which Commander Tweedie returned to Vera Cruz pick ed up 100 American refugees from various interior points who were as sembled at Soledad. These refugees, who came from Tierra Blanca, Cordoba and Orizaba, presented a pitiable spectacle and were worn, dirty and tired from their frightful experiences. Women with babies in their arms and young girls lugging heavy bundles, containing all that remained of their possessions, trudged with the other refugees from the station here in charge of agents from the American consulate. Many of the refugees are destitute and these were lodged aboard the rescue steam ers last night.

S. TO DECLARE ARMISTICE No Announcement as to Intention of Either Side Has Been Made ENVOYS ARE IN CONFERENCE General Belief Is That Huerta Will Accept First Proposal Of fered by Mediators By Associated Press Washington, D. C„ April 29.—Ail armistice in the difficulties between the United States and Mexico has been asked of this government, and General Huerta by the South American envoys who have undertaken to avert war through mediation. Ambassador Da. Gainu, of Kra7.il, to-day notified Sec retary Bryan that this had been deter mined upon as the next step in tho negotiations and that General Huerta also had ueen notified. The proposal for an armistice was communicated to President Wilson, from the State Department by tele phone. Though no announcement has been made, it was authoritatively learned that this government would accept the conditions provided assur ances are given that, tn addition to a halt in military operations there would be no civil uprisings against American citizens or other "untoward" incidents which might prevent peace. After an hour's conference to-day the mediation envoys, Air. Da Gama, Air. Xoan, of Argentina, and Air. huarez, of Chile, determined that fur t! er negotiations necessarily must proceed without warlike interference and Ambassador Da Gama went to tho State Department to acquaint Secre tary Bryan of the course thus far taken in the pence plans. The Bra zilian minister in Alcxieo City also was notified and he communicated the in formation to General Huerta. 1 . S. Will l.lkciy Accept The communication addressed to both governments by the mediation envoys formally requests each govern ment to declare an armistice. Tt was pointed out by pffleials here that. In all probability, the I'nited States would accept the proposal, notwithstanding the fart that this government, h-as not recognized that a stato of war in Mexico exists Insofar as the operations of the T nited States are concerned. Despite this fact it was believed that the Washington government would not put any barriers in the path of tho progress of mediation, particularly at • ? U , early staKe of negotiations. Officials here also believed that Gen eral Huerta would accept the first pro posal. The proposal for an armistice, it also was learned, does not Includo any reference to the Constitutionalists in Mexico, the United States and Huerta merely being called unon to cease active operations pending fur ther mediation proposals. Consid eration of the Constitutionalists' po sition. it was stated, probably would be involved in the next step to bo taken after an armistice has been agreed to by tho principals to the present difficulties. Prohibit Hostilities j Lnder the armistice, in accordance! with international proceedings, neither I the lluerta government nor the United : States would pause In preparations for war. Plans for possible conflict would proceed, but the armistice would pro hibit actual hostilities in the field and i any extension of military movement by | either side. In Mexico people would be permitted to go where they pleased unmolested. It would simply establish a truce.
