Eigh teen men were killed and two seriously injured today in a double explosion in the East Brookside mine of the Phila- loiniiia and Reading coai ana iron Company near here by a double explo sion of what is believed to have been dynamite and gas.

Exact Cause Unknown It is not known exactly what caus ed the explosions,.; but'" the miners 'at tae codiery are inclined to tne oenei that the first explosion was that" of dynamite, and the second was caused Jy gas which had "been liberated by tie dvnannte explosion. The dead were scattered about for a distance of about a quarter of a mile. Only three men were taken out alive and one of these died on the way to the hospital Superintendent John Lorenz, 60 years old, was in the mine when the first explosion occurred. He was res cued several hours later. Harry Sohoffstall was another taken out aiive. Both were burned and bruised tort are expected to recover. ' Superintended Lorenz was found crawling along the ground trying to make his way through the debris .to safety. It is possible that the real story of the explosion may never be known as all who were fn a position to know were killed. While Superin tendent urenz was in the mine at the time of the first emission he was about coo feet from the blast and it is not thought he knows the cause. He was not in a condition to tak tonight. While the impression seerns o be that the first explosion was that "fdynamite, it is possible it could have been due to gas. The men were Rilled in three different ways. Some f them w.-re violently hurled against the side of the tunnel in which they ere working and crushed. Some were I'urned to death by the explosion. of ?as and others were suffocated by the afterdamp which always follows ah '-xpiosiun in the mines.

While Pres; ident ...Wilson has not yet announced the policy which he thinks the: Ameri can - government ought ,0 pursue to wafd Mexico, there is ever reason to believe he is evolving a plan of non interference in the internal affairs of the Southern republic. ; Two developments today emphasiz ed jthe trend of affairs toward an atti tude of friendly non-interference. It became known that the President in conferences with members- of the House Military Affairs, committee, had discouraged the idea of making prep arations for a volunteer army. Like wise, Secretary Bryan's request for an appropriation of - $100,000, . with which to, transport destitute Americans from Mexico in' emergencies, developed a feeling in official circles that the Am erican government would endeavor in any crisis to remove Americans expe ditionusly from uie trouble zones. . Minimize Chances of Difficulty. This procedure, it is felt, would min imize the chances for international difficulty, as any destruction of prop erty . would be cared for through in demnification and there is every indi, cation incidentally that the Wilson ad ministration will pursue a vigorous policy toward recovering damages to foreign property in Mexico. With Americans out of Mexico, or at least, out of those parts where chaos may develop, the United States gov ernment would feel less responsibility for 'the progress of events ,there .and Would assume the role of an observer rather than a participant, the latter position being one which, . despite the strong efforts from many i quarters, it is fairly well -determined - President Wflson'will not countenance; He nev er has allowed the thought of-armed intervention to enter his consideration of a solution for, the Mexican problem but;, on the other hand, his efforts In working out a powcy for the American government m this situation and those like it m the future are directed to ward a peaceful program. Hope that the Mexican factions will agree on a provisional President -to succeed Huerta still prevails here The- Constitutionalists, however, art making reneated representations that if permitted to obtain arms on an equality with the Huerta government they soon would . triumph -and restore peace. With the idea of obtaining first hand mrormation about the situation, espe cially in connection with the pleas be mg made to art tne embargo on arms the Senate foreign relations, commit tee has determined to permit a num ber ot persons representing the fac tions in Mexico to appear before it. General Eduardo Hay. who took part ; - 1. ..1 n 1 1 . . . . , in uitxuy uatues in me iviaaero revoiu tion, as well as in -the present con flict, a former Speaker of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, will give the Senate foreign relations committee the Constitutionalists side of the ar gument next week. Suggestions were made today that Mrs. Francisieo Madero. widow Of the former President, and Alfonso Mia'- dero, a brother, be invited before the committee. It is said they would ' re fute the statement of conditions re- eiteajoy Ambassador Henry Lane Wil son, recently, and there is a feeling among axnators tnat they should hear both sides in the controversy over the events wmch led to Madero s death. The Senate committee, likewise, de sires to toe in a Position to understand tne general situation when President Vinson submits to them his recom mendations or policies. ibhesi PBon mm HASTEN IRK Oil THE TARIFF BILL Brito, Former Governor of Campeche, Held Without Bail by Federals for Murder arid Robbery 'Admits Killing - New. Orleans, August 2. Emman uel Castillo Brito, former Governor of the, Mexican State' of Campeche, was arrestedhere today by Federal author: ities and held without bail on a charge of murder and Robbery preferred by the existing Mexican authorities. Brito admitted he killed two repre sentatives, of Huerta, who he said, were trying to arrest him illegally dur ing the recent revolution.. ; The former Mexican Governor's ap prehension came close upon the heels- of -charges of "blackmail, which result ed late. last night in the arrest of two United States Department of Justice agents and. a representative of the Carranza branch of Mexican revolu tionists in New Orleans. It was' charged that G. R. Mat thews and J. Li. Mott accepted $500 in marked bills from Brito to protect him from arrest, the affair having been ar ranged by Ernesto Fernandez - who claims to be connected with Governor Carranza. Brito was arraigned before United States Commissipner Browne. He plead not guilty, and was sent to Par ish prison -without bail.
