So the Hamilton Chamber of Com

Rankin, which said: "I have heard of
no one in the House who is supporting
the President's conscription bill. Do
you wish me to stand alone for this?"
BUTTE, Mont, April 27. "Stand
alone if you have to," Rotary and
Pan-Hellenie clubs, of this city, have
wired Miss Jeanette Rankin Represent
ative in Congress from Montana. Miss
Rankin wired a half dozen organiza

Workings at Hastings, Colo.,
Is Set on Fire by Under
ground Explosion.
RESCUE HOPE fS GIVEN UP
I'ive Bodies Are Recovered by Res
cue Squad Many Company Of
ficials and Inspector Are
Probable Victims.
TRINIDAD, Colo.. April 27. One hun
dred and nineteen or more men caught
In the Hastings mine of the Victor
American Company by an explosion at
9:30 this morning still were entombed
tonight while rescue squads clowly were
working their way through the smoke
filled slope to the main workings 3600
feet under the mountain.
A list containing 119 names of
missing was given out by company of
ficials tonight.
Virtually all the miners are foreign
ers. At 11:30 tonight It was reported that
five bodies had been found.
Rescuing crews, working continuous
ly In short shifts expect to reach the
remaining men before daylight tomor
row. No hope Is held out that any of
them will be rescued alive.
Bomb Plot Ramon Discredited.
Rumors circulated here that the ex
plosion was the result of a bomb plot
were discounted by company officials,
who pointed out that the mine was
known as a "gas mine" and that a
similar explosion had occurred in 1913.
Company officials insisted that the ex
plosion was Blight and that the great
est danger to the men was from the
fire and smoke. The ventilating sys
tem apparently was not damaged.
Ninety of the men caught in the
mine are miners, the others being com
pany men. Among the latter are: Mine
Inspector David Reese, David Williams,
pit boss, and H. J. Millard, fire boss.
Besides the rescue squads of the
Victor-American Company in Hastings
Canyon, rescuers were called from the
camps o? the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company's camp In Berwind Canyon.
Just across the hill from the scene of
the accident.
Rescue Squad Forced Back.
The first indication of trouble was a
cloud of black smoke which billowed
from the mouth of the slope. Superin
tendent Cameron hastily organized a
rescue force of five men and entered
the slope, but the smoke and heat from
the fire within was si intense they
were soon forced to retreat. Another
rescue force was organized and
equipped with oxygen helmets. These
men, eight in number, and again led
by Mr. Cameron, re-entered the mine
determined to reach the imprisoned
men. Whether debris from the ex
plosion was blocking the slope farther
back had not been determined at last
reports.
MEXICAN STAND INDORSED
German Minister Says There Is Xo
Reason for Nation Entering War.
MEXICO CITY. April 27. The Ger
man Minister, Von Eckhardt, has issued
& statement saying he heartily ap
proved of portions of the recent dec
larations made by the American Am
bassador, Henry Fletcher, in referring
to Mexico's attitude as a neutral.
There was no reason why, he contend
ed a. nation like Mexico, free and in
dependent, should not be successful in
maintaining neutrality and no reason
existed, in his opinion, which should
Induce Mexico to enter the war.
For a nation to declare war -without
cause, he declared, was as stupid as
It was natural for a nation to declare
war under adequate provocation. He
had nothing but congratulations for
Mexico's stand for absolute neutrality
and added that the relations between
Germany and Mexico were entirely satisfactory.
NAVY ENROLLS ONLY 17
COMMANDER B L.1CKBUE5 WAATS
HUNDREDS OB PATRIOTS.
Urgency Great at TUs Critical Time,
He Declares Army Reerniten
Enlist 30 Men.
Seventeen recruits enlisted in the
Navy at the recruiting office in the
Dekum building . yesterday. This is
not as many as Lieutenant-Commander
J. H. Blackburn, U. S. N., would like
to see, for the Navy needs men now
as it never has done before.
"There seems to be an impression
that after Oregon enlisted its quota
of 800 men between April 1 and 20,
no more would be enlisted," said Lieutenant-Commander
Blackburn. "This is
far from the case. The 800 men com
prised the quota we were ' expected to
enlist In 20 days, and we did so, but
now the Navy is in great need of more
men.
"I look to the patrlotio young men
of Oregon to respond to their coun
try's call in this most critical - time
and come forward to enlist in the Navy,
the Nation's first line of defense. We
should enlist 4 men a day, instead
of only 17."
Captain' I. H. Pinkston, in' charge of
the United States Marine Corps re
cruiting station in the Panama build
ing, received a new motorcycle and
sidecar yesterday to be used in recruit
ing work.
Thirty men were enlisted at the reg
ular Army recruiting station In the
Worcester building. Captain E. J.
Huebscher, U. S. A., retired, who is in
charge, has enlisted nearly 1000 men
this month. This is more than the
Portland station ordinarily is expected
to recruit in one year.

Increase in Victims of U-Boats
Proves Need for Rationing.
LONDON, April 27. It seems that,
regrettable as it is, last week's official
report on shipping lasses has proved
more effective than any number of
official exhortations in impressing the
public with the gravity of the food
situation and thereby smoothing the
government's path for adopting need
ful measures.
Although Lord Devonport, the food
controljer. In. his speech Wednesday in
timated that the public would be given
another chance voluntarily to ration
, themselves, little doubt now is felt
that a few weeks will see the actual
putting into operation, of a rationing
scheme.

PACIFIST CROWD ROUTED
RISSUX-GERMA5 PROPAGANDIST
CAUSES RIOT IX PETROGRAD.
Socialist Aavoeattaa; Separate Peace
Is Generally Supposed to Be
In Pay of Berlin.
PETROGRAD. April 26, via London,
April 27. A small riot was precipitated
last night when a crowd drove the
audience of the Socialist Lenlne Into
the street as k. protest against his ex
hortations for a separate peace and his
attacks on the provisional government.
A score of Lenlne's followers were
arrested, but the agitator himself re
rftains at liberty, as the Government
fears that his arrest would make him
a martyr.
Lanlne. who recently-returned from
exile through Germany, has become the
leader of the faction of the Socialists
who desire the end of the war. He Is
living in the palace of the dancer,
Ksheshinska, a former favorite of the
Emperor, from the balconies of which
.he daily and nightly harangues his
followers. It Is generally assumed that
he is In the pay of Germany.
With the new freed -m of speech In
the press and assembly, there is a
deluge of new dallies and periodicals
and numberless conferences and con
ventions of peoples of all trades, pro
fessions and callings. The separate
peace element appears to be concen
trated in the group under Lenlne'a
domination. Their views are quite gen
erally repudiated by the rank and file
of the Socialists and. working classes
and even by the Socialist peace party,
which Is working for an unanimous
cessation of the war.
