Forlorn Hope, However, of
Being Able to Rescue Those
Left in Burning Mine.
Williamson, W. Va. —Miners worked
with feverish energy today digging a
shaft into the workings of mine No. 1,
of the Hycamore Coal Company near
here in the hope of reaehing five men
who were cut off when fire broke out
last night. The throng surrounding
the pit after dawn that
the hope was forlorn but the men un
der the direction of a mine inspector
and their bosses continued to dig.
Others forced their way into the gas
filled galleries and endeavored to
choke the flames with sand, crews
being relieved every half hour, but
they made little progress. Uense vol
umes of smoke Poured from the open
ings and it was feared the fire was
spreading rapidly. The fire broke out
in the fan house and that structure
was destroyed. Alarmed by the failure
of the air, 25 men made their way to
the surrace but five were caught in
entries far from the opening.
The nearest rescue crew of the Unit
ed States bureau of mines was at
Roanoke, Va. and was expected to
reach here during the day.
‘m EDICT' OF

Daniels’ Famous Order Bars
All Alcoholic Liquors From
Every Ship and Shore Station
Washington.—Secretary Daniels' fa
mous order barring Intoxicants from
the Navy went into effect today. It
not only abolishes the traditional
■'wine mess" of the officers but bars
nil alcoholic lllquors from every ship
and shore staion of the Navy.
Beginnlg today any officer found In
possession of alcoholic liquor on board
ship or at any naval station will be
guilty of misconduct. Commanding of
ficers will be held directly responsible
for the enforcement of the “dry edict.”
Considerable speculation is being
Indulged in here today as to how of
ficers would accept the new order of
things. They were amazed at the
time the order was announced in
April. Secretary Daniels has said
that a reasonable construction was to
be placed on the order. This was tak
en to mean that If any liquor happened
to be on board a vessel on foreign ser
vice, including those in Mexican wa
ters, a reasonable time would be given
in which to unload it. On ail naval
naval reservations and on ships in
home waters, however, it was expect
ed that the lid would be on tight to
day.

DEMOCRATS Of
SENATLCAUCUS
Probable Announcement to
Country That They’ll Stay at
Posts to Pass Anti-Trust
Laws.
Washington.— Definite and final no
ticc to business interests ana the
country generally that congress will
not adjourn without action on tne ad
ministration trust legislation pro
gram, was the primary object of the
caucus of senate democrats called for
late today with President Wilson’s
approval.
It was said at the White House to
day that, the president would send no
message to the caucus and that he
had had nothing to do directly with
the calling of the meeting.
For Late Today.
Washington —Senate democrats will
hold a conference late today when it
is expected a resolution will be adopt
ed announcing to the country con
gress’ intention to remain in Wash
ington until the administration’s anti
trust program has been enacted into
law. The conference was called by
Majority leader Kern to act on reso
lution declaring it to be the sense of j
the democrats in the senate that trust
legislation be enacted at this sessioa
Belief was expressed today that the I
decision to hold a conference was to
assure the country that the ami-trust
program would be pressed to a final
conclusion as soon as possible. Wails
some opposition was expected from
democrats who hold radically diffep
ent views from those of President Wil
son, administration leaders in die
Benate were hopeful that the resolu
tion would be adopted. It would
bind democratic senators.
It was not expected the conference
would make an attempt to outline a
definite plan for legislation. The
reason for this is the fact that two of

Restrictions Removed For
Human Beings, But War on
Rats Vigorously Waged.
New Orleans.—Normal business
conditions prevailed here today in the
49 blocks ot the downtown distrlci
which had been under quarantine be
cause it was feared bubonic plague
might spread. The quarantine was
declared off last night under direc
tions from Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon
general of the United States Public
Health Serv'ce who telegraphed that
steps further planned were not war
ranted at this time.
Before the quarantine was declared
off more than 3,500 permits to bread
winners to cross the dead line had
been issued, street car conductors
locked the doors of their cars while
traversing the district under obser
vation and amusement resorts in the
infested zone temporarily had gone
out of business.
Although the restrictions as to the
movements of human beir.gs were re
moved, rats were still under the ban
and a campaign of extermination will
be waged against them. One of the
regulations promulgated today by the
city board of health requires that “all
rats caught by individuals shall be
immersed in kerosene and reported to
the board of health laboratry.”
No alarming symptoms have been
shown t>y any of the 27 inmates of
tne Volunteers of America Home,
who were isolated when the plague
was discovered in the home. This
fact and the failure to discover oiher
eases in the city has led local author
