DAWSON, N. M., Oct 24. The flrat
Bove'rnment rescue car reached here
rhortly after 8 o'clock this morning. The
crows were hurriedly equipped with hel
meta and sent Into Staff Canon mine No.
2 In search of helmet men Jamea Lurdl
Mid William Polsa. believed to have been
killed by poisonous gaaea, after an ac
cident that caused them to remove their
helmets.
The government rescuers started for
the eighteenth chamber, east, two and a
half miles under ground from the portal.
It was at this point that Lurdl and
Polsa, with two companions, were search
ing for the body of General Superintend
ent William McDermott and perhaps' at
least 100 more miners, who were believed
to have been In that part of the mine
.when Wednesday's explosion occurred.
Tho accident to the helmet men caused
a feeling of terror among others to the
point where only volunteers were sent
Into tho mine. Confidence was somewhat
restored by the arrival of the-government
crew, which Immediately entered the
workings.
After a considerable time under ground
the crew had been unable to reach tho
eighteenth chamber.
Peoauso of the Increasing presence of
carbon' dioxide gaa in the mine, which
had permeated chambers where tho air
was comparatively pure, late lost night,
the government rescuers, confident that
no more men are alive, have changed
their method of attack and devoted their
entire energies to directing air currents
to drive out the poisonous gases.
The probable death list, with the fatal
accident to tho two helmet men, was
increased to 263 today and at noon thn
nifraber of men rescued alive remained
at twentyithrea.
CatiBht try Fa" " Rook.
She four men were of a crew of ten
o entrtfl the mine at ,4 o'clock- this
morning. "'At- 'th. sixteenth room the
crow divided and four of them pushed
oil Into the eighteenth room at the face
of the mine. Two of these, James Lurdl
nnd William Polsa, were walking ahead
when rocks began to fall. They were
hurled In the debris and their' fellows
struggled to rescue them.
Upon being pulled out of the mass of
rocks and dirt Lurdl and Poise are. said
to have become frightened and removed
their helmets. This action confused their
rescuers who, frightened by tho con
tinued fall of debris and hampered by
their thlrtyeight pound equipment, also
jerked off their helmets and ran Into the
entry off the eighteenth room. There they
were overcount by iolsonous gasea, but
members of tho other divisions of the
crew finally brought them to the surface
alive. Walter Kerr, ono of the rescued
men, had not recovered consciousness
several hours later, but Hoy Stmploman,
his companion, told of the harrowing ex
periences which, In the opinion of rescue
leaders, probably caused tho death of
Lurdl and Polsa.
This probable fatality and the terrors
of the face of the mine, which Is so
thlokly Infested with poisonous gases so
Affected the helmet men that J. C. Itob
erts, ' directing the government rescue
work, experienced difficulty securing men
to re-enter the mine to search for Lurdl
end Polsa, Volunteers were called for and
when the first entered the mine Lurdl
and Polsa, had been In the workings, un
helmetecj, for an hour' and a half.
Thla crew consisted of five men with
four . emergency men following closely
carrying helmets and oxygen tanks. Di
rector Itoberts. who haa been unceasingly
notlve In rescue work since his arrival
yesterday, appeared greatly affected by
thla loss of helmet men and unhesitat
ingly referred to it as "the greatest
tragdy of the mine disaster," which al
ready had claimed probably 21 lives.
Roberts has been in continuous charge
of the rescue work without a moment's
relief since noon yesterday, and It was
only by physical force that he was kept
from donning a helmet and leading the
search for Lurdl and Polsa. All other
rescue activities were practically aban
doned pending the finding of the lost
aelmet men.
Three More Bodies Found.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning
three adltlonal bodies were recovered
and brought to the surface. No trace
had been found of General Superintend
ent William, McDermott nor Henry P.
McShane, the wealthy young New Yorker.
It was believed McDermott's body is
with a group of men who were caught
at the face of the mine beyond the eight-

NORTH PLATTE. Neb., Oct. S4.-(8p-cial
Telegram.) With weather as nice as
the bsst days of June, automobile traffic
to this city increased greatly, while rail
road trafflo haa fallen off. A different
sentiment seems to prevail among thoso,
registering for lands now as compared
with thoso who registered at the begin
ning of the registration. At the begin
ning all seemed to be earnest and con
fident of winning a good homestead, but
now the expression Is, "I'll take a shot
at It."
Todays registration here was 2,127. Th
ggrand total here-now Is 23,1 li Tomorrow
night at midnight registration ends and
the notarial association han made ar
rangements to double the force at tho
registration booths if necessary, to take
care of those desiring to register oh the
last da)'. Tho association Is determined
that the doors shall not bo closed at
midnight tomorrow against any one de
siring to register. Much larger crowds
are expected tomorrow, because It Is the
last day and the drawing occurs here
for all lands next Tuesday, bo many are
expected to como tomorrow who will stay
over until the drawing.
The Chamber of Commerce haa made
special arrangements for a Jubilee Mon
day and Tuesday In honor of its guests
and laud drawing. Tills event has
brought more people to North Platte than
any happonlng in its history and thou
sands will be here to help celebrate.

LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 21. (Spoclal.)
The connection of the Schoolmasters'
club with present and past politics has
long been known, or at loast there haa
been a strong suspicion that It had a
great deal to say In the election of a
state superintendent and also in the ap
pointment of places under the educational
board. Its methods savor a great deal of
thoso Used by Tammany Hall In Now
York.
Snfe Both Way.
They take no chance of losing out on
the state superintendent's office, whloh
Is the milk In the cocoanut. Whenever
it Is possible the lines aro pulled to that
tho candidate of both the republican and
democratic parties Is a member of the
club. In that way It Is always a heada
I win tails you lose proposition and the
Schoolmasters' club gets thepot.
In the last election J. E. Delxell waa
nominated by. the republicans and It. V.
Clark by the "dffhoorats. Both men were
and are nojf' members of the Schoolmas
ters' club. Delxell won out nnd In the
appointment of hla offloe force appointed
R. I. Elliott aa deputy, G. A. Gregory as
Inspector of normal schools and R. C.
ICIng Inspector of rural schools the only
men In the offlco and all members of
the select 100 which compose the. School
masters' club. Ho also appointed C. M.
Penney, who died, later, to a position In
the office now held by Prof. King. He,
too, was a member of the Schoolmasters'
club.
In the election before that B. C, Bishop
was the republican candidate and, N. C,
Abbott represented the democrats, both
members of the club. Mr. Bishop waa
elected and appointed a member of the
olub aa his deputy, the present superin
tendent. Crabtree and Jnokaon.
In the eleotlon before that j. W. JCrab-

Both were member, of the Schoolmasters'..
club, and Mr. Crabtree appointed Mr.

his. deputy Mr. Crabtree had been de

Keeps Enropenn Capital
from Iartnllng Here.
CHICAGO. 'Oct :i.-yndge' Elbert II.
Gary, chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, In an address today i the
semi-annual meeting of the American
J re a4- M tw declared that
the tAWty""Sf ' BwilnSwi had been Inter
fered with 'and the owifldeace of 'capital
ehakea by "unreasonable and uncalled
for agitation and attack." In spile of
the country' wealth and resources, for
eign capitalists wonder why we aro not
more continuously prosperous, he enld.
"There are exceptional caaea," declared
Judge aary, "In which mismanagement
haa caused distrust or dissatisfaction on
the part of foreign and domestlo capital
!ts;. but this .is. not the principal reason
for hesitancy at the .present time on the
part of these capitalists in making In
vestment hi our aecurltlea. They won
der why It la that with our great and
growing wealth and resources and our
superior advantages, we are not more
continuously prosperous; why we are
not more stable In price and values and
In general conditions; why there is ever
any disposition on the part of any one to
interfere with the normal and natural
progress in the development of our coun
try and It Industries.
"Every one who travela extensively
abroad la confronted with these Inquiries
by foreigners friendly to and Interested
In our commercial and financial condl
tlons, and we assembled In thla room Art
asking ourselves the same question.
Too Much Demaajoary,
"I venture thn assertion that it Is
largely because of mueh agitation and Ill
considered criticism by those who have
not the nation' beat Interests at heart.
There is too much damagogy, too much
mud-sllnglng. The man out of office
criticises the one In office, and the one
In offlcn in turn seeks to advance his
own Interests, regardless of the effect on
others.
"In many public speeches and in inaga
xlne articles the author la influenced by
motives of lflshnt or cupidity. Ap
peal are made for the purpose of, creat
ing a feeling of dissatisfaction and un
rest when this is unnecessary and un
Justified. Finally this la partially offset
by the conservative attitude of some of
the leading Journals; and the number Is
increasing.
"It la not uncommon in public discus
sion to treat success aa an offense; to
consider the possession of wealth, how
ever honestly acquired, sa wrong. Legis
lation calculated to create classes is
urged persistently; also laws to Imposo
unnecessary and unreasonable burdens; to
forcibly take from on something which
he ha and la entitled to have, turn It
over to another; to prevent or to lessen
the success of legitimate enterprise and
endeavor.
Capital llrcontlnv Frightened.
"Capital, always timid, ha been ser

uncalled for agitation and attack. In

today before the American Mining con
gress. Mr. Wilson said there aro three phases
of arbitration tho moral, the business

said, are partners In production, and the
old attitude of the employer that "this

a narrow one.
"Oelng partners, each I entitled to a

The Vanderllp plan, which contemplates

nous than at any time since President
Wilson' administration began. Absolute
silence waa the order in official quarters.
Tho release of the Ward ltner Morro
Castle after peremptory demands by the
United States terminated a delicate sit
uation. Orders wore In preparation to
the commander of the American war
ships lying off Vera Crus to Insist on it
release.
A statement was tn preparation today
by Secretary Bryan and Counsellor John
Tiassett Moore, which Secretory Bryan
brought to the White House for the pres

fully realised.
'At tho State department it was said
that while no instructions had bean given
