CHICAGO. May 14. (Special.) There
was a weird 24-hour struggle to con

It was the struggle of Hillegan to
bring his wife, who died two weeks

Immense Mass of Debris Remains
Between Entombed Sextet and

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.

Led by J. 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
