ParHiff Wales. Oct. 16. Rescuers 'in the Universal Colliery early this afternoon got in touch with a group of 29 living miners whom they hoped to save. .i. The men- were entombed in a far gallery where the explosion's 'deadly afterdamp failed to penetrate. They told the rescuers that IS other men in a nearby chamber were be lieved to be dead. -Eighteen men' were brought out i alive dnrinir the night.' making the tdtil of the rescued about 500.

Lost in Pamlicft, sound in a frail gasolene boat, with not the least idea of how far they were out of their course and with the. wind blowine a srale was the experience which befell Cap tain John Dowdy and David Morris of this city a few days ago and it is safe to say that both of these gentle men will not soon forget their harrowing experience. ' ' -' , On Tuesday of last week Captain Dowdy and Mr. Morris left Norfolk with the gasolene - fcpat Mary Bell enroute to New Bern. The vessel was' heavily loaded with groceries and oil 'consigned to merchants at this port. The weather was fine and all went well until Thursday when. m coming through., Pamlico sound Captain Dowdy in Some manner ran out of his course and found that he was heading for sdmfi' "unknown point. the wind .was pawing hard and to the two men onfthe boat it seemed as though a storm '-fye're approaching. However, this, impending disturbance of the elements 'did not materialize. All night long the 'boat floated at an- Ichor in the soundly Captain Dowdy not caring to maice any attempt to go ahead after he had lost sight of the bea con lights.- Soon after the break of day on Friday morning a fisherman's boat was sighted and the occupant of this told the two mariners that they were only about ten miles from the mouth of Neuse river. The engines of the boat were put in action at once and the vessel and her crew arrived here on Friday afternoon. Pamlico sound is a dangerous place for even a large boat to get out of its course in. If a violent storm had arisen there is little doubt but that the small craft and its occupants would have been lost. LOCAL MAN OWNS E j. W.

SPEilB PAM SO DRANG GROVE 'ft: - .'r V, - THB FIRST SURVIVORS LAND -IN -NBW YORK Passengers From,The Volturno Tell Thrilling Story Of Marine Disaster -Many Feats Of Daring New York, Oct. 16. New York took in and sheltered today the first survivors of the steamship Voltirfno to arrive in this country, 105 in num ber, brought into port by the Grosser Kurfurst, the North German' Lloyd Liner that sent the first rescue boat careening across the heavy seas that made' so difficult the task of removing passengers and crew from the burning Volturno. The wireless had brought graphic accounts of last week's sea tragedy; and today from the lips of some of the Volturno's survivors there came descriptions which contained the intimate detai.s for which the world had waited, accentuated the heroic conduct of the Volturno's captain, of ficers and crew, and of men who man ned the life-boats that put forth from, other ships. The explosion of a drum containing! chemicals was the cause of the fire according to the story told by Waldroril uisselman, third officer of the Vol-i turno. Disselman gave a thrilling1 narrative of the long hours spent on his fire-ridden ship, fighting the? flames, sustaining the crippled wire less plant, lowering life-boats, quiet ing the panic-stncken, steering thej vessel by hand to keep her from! drifting fighting the battle unaided! because the waves were running too; high for small craft from other shipg to accomplish the journey to the Vol4 MEXICAN CRISIS ONLY TBMPORAmL Y DEL A YED Strongly Believed Posftidn Of Other Nations May Finally Force Huerta Regime Back to Conciliatory Attitude Mexico City, Oct. 16, That the crisis in the relations between Mexico and the United States, which was al most reached yesterday, is only tem porarily delayed, is the general feel-, ing here tonight among Mexicans and foreigners. When and how the next development will be reached is a question agitating all alike. 1 While the American Charge, Nelson O'Shaguhnessy, professes to expect no reply whatever to the Washington memornadum, and the Foreign Office says there will be none for the time being, it Is still regarded as certain that the nature of the American Government's notification regarding future recognition will necessitate ac tion on the part of J:he Mexican au thorities. It is not expected that the elections will be postponed, although it is ad mitted tthis is a possibility. To many it would be no surprise should Mexi co return to a conciliatory attitude. The ' impression lhich is gaining A tt,it nthr Nations are in- c&ed to fall in line with the Wash-j L TRIAL CONDEMNED EPISCOPALIANS MAY ELIMIN ATE WORD "JEW" FROM GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE. New York, Oct. 16. The ritual mur der trial at Kiev, Russia, was con demned in a resolution made todayby the house of deputies, the joint clerical and lay body of the Protestant Epis copal church at the triennial general convention. The Episcopalians also took steps to amend their prayer book by eliminating the passage in the Good Friday collect where Jews are classed with "infidels, Turks and heretics. The committee on prayer book re ported favorably on a proposition to amend the Good Friday service by omitting the world "all Jews, infidels, Turks and heretics" from the general prayer for" humanity.' Consideration of the resolution wa9. postponed. The house of bUhops today accepted the regisnation of three of its members The RU RevV Lemuel .

More than 80 passengers were burned to death when they were cut off by flames Disselman reported. Ranking well up with the bravery displayed by Captain Inch of the Vol turno, were the feats of daring of several of his officers, among them Second Officer Lloyd. While 10 ocean liners manoeuvred about the Volturno after darkness had settled on Thurs day. Q.ptain Inch wirelessed: "We ) cant stand this long. Our boats are gone. Send boats." No rescue boats came in response to Inch's wireless. Then Second Officer Lloyd measur ed up to the marK Taking four men with him he entered a damaged life-boat, the Volturno's last, and showed that the seas could be lived upon. Second Officer Von Carlsberg of the Grosser Kurfurst told the story of how Lloyd and his crew set the ex- ample for the other ships. "Soon a light it was Lloyd's pocket lamps was seen dancing up and down on top of the waves," said Von Carlsberg, "and in a short time the Volturno's boat reached us. Second officer Lloyd and his crew were in the boat and no sooner had they boarded Ihe Kur furst than their boat sank. The trip had been experimental to see if it was possible for a small boat to live in the heavy sea." ington Administration in the matter of future policy toward Mexico, it is argued, may tend to cause the Mexi can officials to seek some ground upon which they can with dignity meet Washington half way toward an ad justment of the strained relations. At the same trrffe it is acknowledged that the accomplishment of this would be difficult, since the only re course is the holding of the elections or the retention of the presidency by General Huerta, either of which would be equally distasteful to the United States. It is regarded as extremely improbable that General Huerta will release the Deputies and restore them to their functions which appears to be the only alternative. The Deputies are still in the peni tentiary and processes in the civil courts are being prejudiced against many of them? They are allowed to receive aidfrom friends, although J thus far they have not been permit- ted to communicate with the outside world. Tenn. Bishop Wells is 72 years old, Bishop Gray is 78.

PLUM TREE TO BE SHAKEN Something Doing When President Signs The Deficiency Bill. Washington, Oct. 16. Fifteen United States Deputy Marshals in North Caro lina, drawing an annual salary of near ly $20,000 and possible 20 or more depu ty collectors and clerks, which will make the annual salary rlls for these two divisions of the government in the State run up to approximately $50,000, will be displaced and their jobs filled by Democrats as soon as President Wilsson igns the urgent deficiency bill, which was signed by speaker Clark to day and is now in the hands of the President. These men will be discharged because of the Overman resolution which takes the positions out of the civil service and allows the collectors and marshals to select men'who come directly under them. In addition to these places, all of the field agents, special inspectors and deputires for the income tax, will also be appointed by Democrats, and of course, Demo crats will get the jobs. President Wilson is expected to sign the measure tomorrow and immediately after that Collectors Bailey and Watts are ex pected to shake the plum tree and allow the loyal Democrats to receive their reward. Deputy marshals and the annual sal ary they receive whose official pay will be clipped off as a result of the passage of the Overman resolution are: James M. Baley, $2,000; J. B. Garner, $1,200 and Tom Vincent, $1,200, Greensboro; Thomas F. Roland, of Asheville, James O. McElroy, of Bryson City, nad J. G. Grant, of Charlotte, 81,200 each; Charles H. Holland, of Wilkesbor'o, 81, 000; Gaston Carroll, of Winston-Salem, and John W. McElroy, of Asheville, $900; Miss Nessie Myrick, Greensboro, $720, and John Jarrett, of Bakersbillc, $600,for the western district, and John T. Sharp, $1,600; Palo Mitchell, 1,200, and Rippon Ward, 81,000, all located at Raleigh, for the Eastern district. The list of deputy collectors could not be obtained tonight but it is understood that they by far outnumber the deputy marshals. In addition to these there is yet to be appointed a number of field agents, deputies and inspectors for the collection of the income taxes. These men, will be appointed without regard to the civil service also. WOMAN CHARGED WITH SERI OUS OFFENCE. Mrs. J. L. Logan, who lives on Jones street, will be given a hearing before Justice of the Peace S. R. Street this afternoon at 1 o'clock on a warrant charging her with being an accessory to the prostitution of a girl under fourteen years sf age and also of con ducting a disorderly house. ERRONEOUS REPORT. Rumors About Julius Parker's Wire Unfounded. In reports sent out from Beaufort during the trial of Julius Parker, charged with the "murder of Charles Simpson at the Atlantic Hotel several weeks ago, it was stated that "it is rumored that Simpson had been inti mate with Parker's wife and this was the cause of the killing." This report was erroneous inasmuch as the de fendant's wife was not mentioned during the trial and there was no evi- dence to show that Simpson had been . lntimate with her. Parker entered a plea of self defense in the charge and was acquitted. lit- HON. J. AIL FAISOH HERE YESTERDAY Congressman From Third District Pays New Bern A Visit. ENROUTE TO MOREHEAD CITY Assisting In Campaign To Exter minate The Malarial Mosquito. Hon. Jno. M. Faison, congressman from this district was among the visitors in the city yesterday. Con gressman Faison is particularly in terested in the extermination of the malarial mosquito and the hookworm disease in this section and left last evening for Morehead City to assist Dr. Stiles, an expert on the malarial mosquito, in delivering an address before the people of that place. Congressman Faison and Dr. Stiles will return to New Bern this morning and go to Jacksonville where the latter will deliver a lecture along the same line. Tomorrow night a lecture will be given in Wilmington. In speaking of the work done in this section of the State by Dr. H. R. Carter, another malarial expert, who visited this city several days ago and Dr. Stiles who is the discoverer of the Hookworm disease, Congressman Fais on said that if their advice is followed by the people of North Carolina, that the hookworm disease and malarial rial af ing fever will soon be wiped out. While in this section of the Sta congressman haison is investigating some matters pertaining to several postofrices and it it is probable that within the course of a week or two that there will' be some rather un expected developments in certain post offices.
