ENTHUSIASTIC to a man over the
success of the trade excursion of
1913, tho "Busy Business Boosters
of El Paso returned Sunday morning on

depot at 7:30.
All the boosters were up and dressed

The fire is supposed to have started
from electric or telephone wires, but
the wiring is all new and was put in
four years ago, when the building was
rebuilt, according to the new electrical
code. However, there seems no other
possible explanation of the blaze.
The alarm was turned in between
12 30 and one oclock by Chas. W.
Lorenz, of the International Dental
Supply Co, who was in the apartments
of this company on the third floor. He
was attracted by the smell of smoke
and telephoned the alarm. Chas. Kus
msky, custodian of the building, was
aroused about the same time, and
turned in an alarm through the A. li.
T system, with which the building is
quipped. He at once set one of The
Herald's fire hose (there is a hose on
every floor) to work on the flames and
hold them in check somewhat until the
firemen arrived. In a very few min
utes tne firemen had what looked Jlke

was some time before it was completely
out, because of the difficulties under

At 12 IS, the watchman had made a
complete round of the building, but
there were no signs of f:re then. The
box call system with which the build
ing is equipped, shows that the hourly
round wan m?de on time by the watch
man The mystery is how the flames
c ould have gained such headway in
such a short time.
The third foor and roof were much
damaged by fire and the lower floors

The Herald publishing plant, which
is in a one story annex to the main
bu Iding, separated by fire walls, was
not damaged and the force started
work Monday morning on time.
While the fire was still burning
manager Wche Greer, of the Times,
very kindly sent a representative to
The Herald to offer the service of the
Times plant if needed.
Book Company's Loss.
The International Book and Sation
erv compan. was the heaviest lose
among the tenants of the building.
Frederick V Norton, president of the
(ompany, estimates his total loss at
about $5000. all due to water damage.
The water damage was heaMest in the
holiday book department. The fancy
box stationary on tne east side of tn"

strikers left here at noon for Ludlow.
Two hundred strikers are spread out
in a skirmish line a mile wide south
of Ludlow and 350 are said to be in
trenches at the Ludlow tent colony.
The unionists declare the guards intend
to attack the tents.
Clash Occurs.
A clash occurred when the strikers
apparently believed that 100 deputies
from Trinidad intended to attack the
tent colony near Ludlow. Later It was
learned that the deputies were on their
way to Tobasco to the relief of the
small force of guards in that camp said
to be surrounded by a large force of
strikers.
El Taso Man Killed.
One mine guard was'killed, and, ac
cording to union officials, one miner
striker. The dead mine guard is inom
as Whitney, who came here recently
from El Paso.

largest producing mines in the district.
Strikers Shoot Into Train.
Intimidated by the declaration of
strikers that the track near Barnes sta
tion had been mined, the entire crew
of a Denver & Rio Grande special train,
carrying 35 armed guards from "Walsen
burg to Trinidad, deserted their posts
at Rouse Junction, 15 miles south of
Walsenburg. C. A. Lombard, one of
the armed guards, and a former locomo
tive engineer, at once climbed into the
engine cab and. with three guards tak
ing turns as firemen, piloted the train
to Trinidad.
No explosion occurred at Barnes sta
tion, as predicted, but a fusillade of
rifle shots, fired by strikers entrenched
along the track for a quarter of a mile,
greeted the train as it sped past. .

Tribute to Porlirio Diaz.
He also paid strong tribute to the
rule of Porfirio Diaz, as worthy of the
epigram:
"He made a nation and destroyed a
people."
Dr. Howland has lived for 31 years
in Mexico as head of the Colleglo In
ternacional at Guadalajara.
"The widespread idea that general
llucrta seized the pres.dency, said ne.
His acceptance of the provisional pres
idency precluded his being a candidate
in the nresent election and h s govern
ment was established both officially
and popularly accepted before the death
of president Madero "
Urges Church Unity.
"The dream of the Congregational
church is the unity of the church of
Jesus Christ" The Rev. Oliver Huckel,
of Baltimore, thus defined the church's
position, in an address " efore the na
tional council.
The Rev. C. E. Jefferson, of New
York, said America had four dragons
to meet and conquer greed, lust, world
liness and the atheism of force.
Rev. Carl S. Patten, of Columbus, O..
deplored the tendency of ministers to
discuss, from the pulpit and in the
press, the. alleged dec dence of the
church.
Christian Training.
Moderator Chas. R, Brown, of Tale
Divinity school, urged the training of
the right kind of men for the high task
all had scattered to their homos. The
Second cavalry band took the street
car for Fort Bliss, after having had
breakfast on board the train. The E!
Pasoans did not eat before arrival, as
the dining car was taken off at
Douglas and deadheaded back to Lds
Angeles after dinner Saturday night.
The observation car came through" with
the train, however.
There was no parade from the depot
or other formality on the part of the
boosters. It had been a busy week with
them and they had marched many miles
in parades, so there was no incentive
for them to disturb the ounday morn
ing quiet with music and marching. It
was decided, therefore, Saturday night,
that the excursion as a body was dis
banded after Douglas was left, and that
all boosters could go to their homes as
soon as they reached El Paso.
Want Another Trip.
Today the members of the recent ex
cursion are back at their businesses,
enthusiastic over the success of the trip
and talking of plans for next year. .
While the trip cost each member $15
more than was at first expected, all
appeared to think it worth the price. I
Seventy-five dollars per man for train
and Pullman fare, they do not consider
too much for what they saw and ac
complished. All the boosters believe
that great good in a commercial way
will come from the trip.
"What we saw was enough for the
money." said Claiborne Adnms, vice
president of the chamber of commerce
and chairman of the trip, "but what
we accomplished cannot be foretold. I
Opinion Prevails Among United States Officials that

Huerta's Announcement Is Not Expect

W
ASHINGTON, D. (X, Oct. 2T. On the face of the meager returns from
the Mexico elections and apparent Indications that a president has
not been chosen, officials In "Washington today claimed Justification
for the policy of this government In declining In advance to recognize the
elections as legal and fair.
Although nothing official had come to the authorities here, the prevailing
opinion -was that Huerta would retain his authority and that a new congress
vronld proclaim the election null and void.
Definite announcement from the Huerta government of the election out
come Is not looked for here for several days. A few dispatches were re
celled by secretary Bryan from Mexico City. .They contained no detailed
Information as to the totes cast for president, but all asserted that the vote

that the campaign -would be extensive.
"The church believes in cleanliness,
sanitation and elimination of industrial

men, helmeted and unlielmetod,

Twenty-three I ves were saved after
the explosion which, according to go -prament
mine rescue experts, was the
Dermott, Henry P. McShane and 16
other miners buried in the debris of
chamber 4, north. These were the only
bodies removed. It is believed that the
men. immediately upon becoming aware
of the first or minor explosion, which
'.s believed to be the one which wrecked
the mine, left their places in the west
chambers in an endeavor to escape from
the mine by a tunnel which connects
mine number 2 with mine number 5.
They worked the r way as far as the
fourth north chamber and were killed
by the fall incident to the second ex
plosion, which is thought to have oc
curred in either the north 'or west fac
ing. All of the 18 men were found
beneath a great amount of rock and
dirt, and though the bodies were badly
decomposed, it was thought that all
were, killed by the fall rather than the
explosion itself.

seem necessary after the elections the
same frank and friendly correspondence
will continue.
Great Britain will respect entire neu

President Wilson's Ideals.
"We do not question the elevation or
sincerity of these questions." says the
Times, "but we do question how far
they are practical in politics. They
may be practical for realizing imme

needs, but to speak frankly, we do not
believe it possibW to establish a gov

OBILE, Ala Oct. 27. President Wilson Is being greeted with the
greatest 'southern enthuslnsm here today. The spirit of the whole
nubile here Is keyed up to taneof Dixie. It does on old time south
ern heart good to sec their royal welcome. Not only Is he the greatest presi
dent of our day, in point of constructive accomplishment, but besides that,
AVoodrow Wilson possesses a charming personality that reaches the masses.
1 wont to nee him make a swing through Texas and the west, nis more
ardent supporters will become more enthusiastic admirers, after personally
seeing and hearing him In action. In ease and grace. In clearness and force,
Wilson Is n finished orator without n Ilvlnr- superior.
I am happy to Lave gained my first Impression of him as a speaker in a
great oration in which he set forth the Wilson International doctrine that is
destined to ho as famous In time as the Monroe doctrine is established In
history. Based upon the highest Idenls of American Institutions, the Wilson
doctrine Is that never ncnln shot the United States gain territory by military
conquest but that our International relations shall stand npen the terms of
friendship and honesty as distinguished front concessions and special interests
and that together with our sister nations, America a a family of mankind,
led by sympathy nnd understanding, shall aspire to emancipation from selfish
interests and the establishment of constitutional liberty In the world.
Great Is the doctrine nnd great Is our IVIIson.
