" DULUTH, May 14. Fed through a pipe driven down to them . and en couraged by . mine ." officials who call down that many miners are 'working to reach them, six of 13 men en tombed last night at the 2000-foot level of the Norrie mine at Jronwood. Mich., are imprisoned tonight in a small space with five of their comrades dead beside them. ' Two other bodies were brought to the surface. Something gave way last midnight on . the 2000-foot level, where many men were at work. An avalanche was loosened Into the pit. The majority of the men escaped up the right path, but 13 blundered into one of the many cross-sections of the mine, considering themselves safe. Then with a roar that could be heard at the surface, the roof dropped down for yards and the 13 were trapped. Two of the 13 had started down the passageway and were over come at the edge of the cave-in and killed. Searching parties found the bodies. Five others were killed where they stood. Six backed close to the wall and stood still. The falling roof missed them. Then from the outside a many-sectioned pipe was started downward. Soon it reached the men and the mine officials learned that six were alive. Double crews renewed the fight to save the lives of the six remaining. But many yards of broken timbers, rock and ore must be lifted out of the passage and a new roof built as the diggers go. The mine is controlled by the Oliver Mining Company of the United States Steel Corporation and at the offices it is said there was small hope that the six -would be rescued.

Frank Treat, of Fargo, X. r., Phillip C. Schaffer, of Philadelphia, and Ethelbert F. Allen, of Kansas City, past imperial potentates of their order, nearly 500 Mystic Shriners from nearly every section of North America invaded Portland yesterday on their way home from the imperial conclave at Los An geles and enjoyed the city's cooling breezes and the bountiful hospitality dispensed by the nobles of Al Kader Temple. Even before tho Portland Shriners were out of bed the first special train bearing: happy pilgrims from the Los Angeles meeting rolled into the Union Station. It bore the officers and the famous band of Lu Lu Temple, of Phila delphia, It was followed closely by a second section carrying additional members of the Philadelphia Temple. Then came three special cars bringing a party of 50 members of Syria Temple, Pittsburg, und Acta Temple, of Rich mond. Ya. The "Imperial Special," bearing Treat and the members of his party came in at 10 o'clock. The regular trains arriving from tho south at various times within the day likewise bore their full quota of red fezzed travelers. Almost as many women as men are in every party. Special entertainment is provided for them. Famous Lulu Band la Here. Of particular interest in yesterday's festivities was the gaily uniformed band of Lu Lu Temple Its full strength consists of 80 pieces, but only 60 mem bers are on the present trip. That num ber seems to be sufficient. Music such as that dispensed by this famous mus ical organization at intervals through out the day has seldom been heard in Portland. The band, marched at the head of the procession from the depot to the Portland Hotel yesterday morn ing, stopping in its progress to serenade The Oregonian office. It played sev eral selections in front of the hotel then broke up so that its members could participate in the fun and frolic that the Portland committee had pro vided. Thousands lined the streets and sidewalks in the vicinity of the .Port land Hotel last night to listen to tho concert. This band of Lu Lu Temple has be come one of the principal attractions of every Shriners' convention. No im perial conclave is complete without li lt has occupied a place of honor in every imperial procession in recent years and at the recent meeting at Los Angeles led the big parade of the week. Picturesque Figure la Present. W. Freeland Kendrick. potentate ot Lu Lu Temple, is responsible for the presence of the band in Portland yes terday. He financed the expedition of the whole organization across the con tinent and is escorting them on the present sight-seeing excursion through the Northwest on a leisurely pleasure trip back to Philadelphia. Mr. Ken drick also brought the well-trained Arab patrol of Lu Lu Temple to Los Angeles and took them as far as San Francisco on the return trip. Nearly all members of the patrol left the main Philadelphia party at San Francisco. returning home direct from that city. Kendrick is one of the picturesque fig ures at every imperial conclave. At present he holds the office of Second Ceremonial Master in the Imperial Council and his friends hope in due time to make him imperial potentate. . "If he brought the Lu Lu band and the Lu Lu patrol across the continent as potentate of his own temple, what will he do when he Is Imperial Potentate?" was the question that some of the Tort land nobles propounded after hearing of his present expedition. "Any time that Portland wants the Imperial conclave I'm ready to vote for It," declared J. Frank Treat last night. "I visited Portland last Winter on mv official tour as imperial potentate ami It was one of the pleasantest cxpci i (Concludcd on rage li.) 4 ,i
