Burning.
Cherry 111.. Nov. l.V Three hun-j
died or more miners were entombed
and possiolj roasted alue in the St. j
Paul coal mine here as the result
of a fire caused by a terrific ex-1
I'lo-ion of mine dust which occurred
at liiree o'clock Saturday afternoon.
INSKttT TO CO.MKS '
Toda hope had all but been ban-
shed by relatives of the victims in
the greatest mine disaster in the i
! istorv of Illinois. Thar not one
man in the hundreds entombed in
the miue will be taken from it4aiive
is pra tically the unanimous opin-:
ion of those on the scene. Rescuers i
equipped with oxygen helmets and !
all the paraphernalia used in mine '
rescue work who entered the mine I
today added to the general horror;
of the situation by declaring that the
mine is still on fire and caving in
uany places. They were unable to i
penetrate more than a few feet from '
the main shaft of the second vein
their equipment being useless in the I
smoke and gas choked chambers '
liiat every bit of oxygen or life giv-
ing air had been exhausted many
hours ago is declared certain.
Three descents were made today
in hope of rescuing some of the vie. -tims
but no sign of life was seen '
and the rescuers declared no life
could exist for over a hundred feet i
beyond tn eentrance.
At 1:30 p. m. A. It. Newman
chairman of the state board of ex-
amining enginers annou...- that
rescuing and exploring party wen
unable to penetrate far into the gal-
lery at the bo.iom of the main shaft
because of the smoke and no bodies
had yet been discovered. "We are
preparing to start the fan and then
we expect revelations" he said.
Fire was still burning in the mine
early this afternoon. After the fan
started smoke began to pour from
the main shaft and the mine in-.
speciors and mine engineer experts
are now playing on the fire at the'
iiottom of the shaft with hose. They ;
ordered air shaft closed tf shut off'
further circulation of air. j
Several of the rescuing party re-'
turned trom the second vein this
morning. They brought the report
that the mine is caving in several i
places. They also declared that none '
of the entombed miners were near
the landing and that it was im-
possible tor them to make any ex-
ploration more than a few feet be. 1
yoi'ii the shaft entrance. The res-
cuers prepared to make another de-.
sc-nit in a short while. The mine
was slid on fire then and it wasf
known that more than :!t"i miners'
were somewhere in the burning
death trap.
The bodies ot the miners who
have perished in the mine will prob-
ably be brought to the surface this
aiternoon. After the second descent-
0. tne cage in the hoisting shaft pre-
).. '. . ! oii were begun to bring up the
1 .'.lie The searching parties are (
ioi. with oxygen helmets to
"uainst tne smoke. Tnese par-

ORDER CONTINUES TO GROW
".'areiit Lodge Organi.ed Here l!y
Late Severiano (iara Ten Years
Ago Xumbei' of Important
Changes in Laws of Order Adopted.
The Grand Convention of the
Grand Lodge of the .Mexican Knights
of Honor after being in session here
for the past fifteen days was
brought to a close Saturday evening.
Among the most important work ac-
complished by this convention was
that of increasing the insurance pol-
i ies of the order from 5400 to ?.00.
It was also decided to erect a monu-
ment to each member of the order
who dies. This however is not
applicable to those who died before
this step was taken. In view of the
tact that the death of Santos Valdez
who was an old member of the ord-
er occurred during the period when
the Grand Convention was in ses-
sion here it vva.- unanimously
agreed by the convention to make an
exception in his case and to erei t a
monument to his inemor..
Another polii y adopted l the
order was that vvhu h in the future
will allow the members who may
become irij.pled or disabled in anv
way so a.- to Mi-toi then un.ibh
to work to draw one-fourth of the
'ace value of their policies
A change w;e-- alst. made n the
monthly due- of liie lodges Ik re.
tofore the dues have been j.'. per
month for each nember. and at the
death oi the member of the organi-
zation the members were each as-
sessed to pay the death benefit. The
assessment plan iiis done away with
by the tonvention the resrular
monthly dues being raised to $1.30
;t being estimated that the increase
in dues would more than meet the
death tlaims of the organisation.
Another important matter was the
i reation ot the oftice of '.iei medi-
:'.! advi-er Heietofore it lias been
the custom of the Grand Lodge to
aicept the ertifn ate ot the nhvsi-
on the physician's certificate. No
one has yet been elected to the of-
fice of chief medical advisor but
the office will probably he filled by
appointment within a short while by
the directors of the Grand Lodge.
The report of the secretary showed
that during the past year there have
been seven deaths among the various
subordinate fodges three of which
were accidental the amount of in-
surance paid on these seven policies
being $2S'0.
The following officers for the
Grand Lodge for the ensuing year
were elected:
Grand Chancelor Faustino Ren-
don. Grand Vice Chancelor- Isadoro G.
Garza.
Grand Financier -Wistano Gar.
za.
Grand Treasurer A. Correa.
Grand Secretary Maximo Domin-
guez. Grand First Guard E. G. ngu-
erra. Grand Secretary M. T. Cruz.
The .Mexican Knights of Honor
was founded in Brownsville the first
lodge being organized here Septem-
ber 24th 1SS0 by Severiano Gar-
za a prominent Mexican citizen of
this city. Mr. Garza was the first
member of the order to die his
death occuring nine months after
the organization of the order. From
the parent lodge thus organized here
ten years ago the order has gradu-
ally grown until there aru now in
the State of Texas and the Republic
of Mexico fifteen subordinate lodges
the permanent quarters -f the Grand
Lodge being maintained in Browns-
ville. The order now has a tatal
nemiii rsiiip of l.OD ) and Has $16-
noii in the treasury tt :s exoecfd
that since the adoption of the m--nu-r.ient
pUn and disc-irding C e as-sf.-meii;
plan t:ier will be a mate
rial increase of the membership of
the organization d'jring the comr
ing year.
