CASE OF ZELAYA BEFORE CABINET

Knox Has In Mind Safely of Americans In Nicaragua. DIPLOMAT IS TREATED COLDLY Representative of Central American President Who Permitted Summary Execution of Two Yankees Cools His Heels In State Department Building and Leaves on Learning That the Cl "cial He Wanted to See la Busy.

VZf.-’iii'.?ton, Nov. 23.—Senor Felipe RwlrlzuiWashington representative of Prvsid i’s Zelaya of Nicaragua, has learned : he isn’t as welcome at the state c' i” ~ inent as before the present dip’omati" crisis between his country aud th, United States. There was no studied attempt to snub the diplomatic visitor, but he was kept waiting in the diplomatic room until he tired and left Senor Rodrigues made no attempt to call on either Secretary Knox or Assistant Secretary Wilson. He arrived at the department shortly after noon and informed a messenger that he wished to see Second Assistant Secretary Adee. He was ushered into the diplomatic reception room where he waited for about twenty minutes. Finally he asked one of the department messengers if Adee was busy. The reply was that the assistant secretary was busy at the moment. Senor Rodrlguez did not wait longer and departed hastily. He declined to discuss the trouble. It is probable that the Nicaraguan crisis will be the principal topic of dis cusslon at the cabinet meeting today. It will be the first cabinet session since the situation developed. Secretary Knox will at once take steps to protect the lives and properly of American citizens In Nicaragua, ft Is likely that his plan to punish Zelaya contemplates an apology and an Indemnity for the summary execution of the two Americans, Cannon and Groce, who were executed after having confessed that they planted mines to blow up Zelaya’s troopships.

PROTESTS FORCE SEARCH OF MINE

Explosion and Fires Still GaikIng Rescoers at Cherry. FIND 25 DODIES IN A POCKET Men Evidently Had Walled Themselves In, Hoping to Be Found Before Supply of Oxygen Became Exhausted—Belief That the Knowledge es Scotchmen Will Yet Be the Means of Saving Lives. Cherry, 111., Nov. 23.—Angry protestations by the United Miners at delay s in exploring the wrecked mine at Cherry where more living men are believed to be imprisoned, led to the dispatch of a volunteer force of rescuers into the subterranean charnel house below., Rescues were prevented by an explosion. The bodies of twenty-five dead were found in a walled-in pocket off the east drift after some fire fighters had been delayed by Injury to several men by the blast. The dead were found 150 feet from the main shaft. The air In the chamber was exhausted and the end seemed to have come from suffocation. The men found dead were not identl fled. It is even in doubt whether their bodies can be gotten out for many hours. The fire is raging in the vicinity and the pocket was reached by two miners who crawled through fire damp over masses of burning debris. ~ Persistent Reports of Voices Heard. Rumors of the hearing of voices or signals of living miners from the east gallery spread about the town, wero promptly discredited by mine officials. No indication, save the absence of the dead, is found that any of the entombed men survive. James McCann of Morris, 111., representing tne Western Casket company, said he had obtained information from miners and men who have explored the mine that probably 161 men are alive in the pit. If men still live imprisoned In the depths of the mine they are probably In too weakened a condition to aid in their own escape. A woman, wife of one of the men brought out alive Saturday evening and whose brother still is one of the missing, placed her arms about one of the pathetic, shawl-draped women whose watch about the pit mouth has begun each day hours before the rising of the sun and ended after midnight. “Cheer up,” she whispered. “Didn’t I tell you John would come up? There are Scotchmen down there. They’ll take care of th am. When the men get to the end they’ll find them walled in and ready far another week of it.”

Fears an Explosion. Faith in the Scotch miners and their ability to care not only for themselves, but for their companions, is now held by the mine officials as well as the relatives of those still “down there.” The traditions and stories of the Scots, which once had caused derisive smiles and comments from their fellows of other races, now are the inspiration and hope of the watchers. Their often-told tales of how their ancestors or prototypes in Scotland had fought death in the mines by walling themselves in and providing for the long, dreary wait for succor, now are repeated scores of times daily as messages of hope for the watchers in Cherry. W. W. Taylor, superintendent of the mine, says work toward the east end of the mine must be slow. “It may appear that the progress is slow, but we are working as we have never worked before in our lives,” said Taylor. “It is all purely technical, tut we are working on the advice of the most eminent experts of the country and the families of those unfortunate men in the mine may rest assured that we shall do all in our power to get out the bodies of the dead and save any that may be alive. Miners Push Investigation. “Much work in the improvement in the atmospheric conditions and general clearing away of materials that tended to create poisonous air substance in the west end of the mine has been done, and there is much more to be done. If we give this up on the spur of the moment and start right in working toward the feast there is likely to be an explosion in which the lives of many or all of the expert firemen and inspectors in the mine would be sacrificed.”

The investigation of the disaster by the Mine Workers of America, has received impetus. At a closed conference of the state and local officers of the miners’ organization reports were received from union men who have been doing rescue work in the mine. "Our inquiries have had such results that we are preparing to push this investigation to the limit,” said President McDonald. "We believed we had good basis for action when we started, and we are sure of it now. Of course we cannot go as fast as we would like to until the mine is fully opened up. But the coming out of live men from the mine will be a great help.” More than 100 miners are expected to be found alive in the lower vein. While it is known that water has stood* several feet deep in the third vein since the disaster, it is said there is a shelf where hundreds could live high and dry. Fresh qjr has been freely circulating through this vein.

THE HUMAN FOOT.

Man has been described as a parasite, bulbus at one end and bifurcated at the other. He certainly is the arch parasite, preying off all creation, but he is more than bifurcated at one end, for the bifurcations have for termini structures of remarkable and exquisite adaptability and beauty and a mechanical perfection which cannot be surpassed. It was the foot that made the head possible, and yet, ever since the beginning of the molicular movement of the wonderous convoluted mass which fills the dome of man, the foot has been regarded with contempt, no credit being.given to it for the great part it has played in his developement. The footwas imperatively necessary during the arboreal period of our existence, and had it then been encased as It now is, the conservation of natural resources would never have been considered for the proud parasite who has in the name of developement so energetically conducted his .compaign of devastation, would have been easily snuffed out In the struggle for existence. Why have we so neglected the foot, yes abused and deformed It, when it has been, is nofr and ever will be, an all important factor In our existence? Among civilized people the encasing and resulting deforming of the foot begins almost immediately after birth, and after ten years of age, all feet have been more or less deformed- In China, the male foot is nearer the normal than among the patent leather nations, but in the Flowry Kingdom, the female foot rivals in its deformity that of her sister of Christian lands. For any one who has- a trace of artistic sense or an iota of appreciation of beauty, it is a shock to behold- the feet of today. The anatomist, when he contemplates the mechanical excellence and rare beauty of the normal human foot, is filled with admiration of the Omnipotence which created it; but when he beholds the twisted, knarled knotted, bebunioned, becorned monstrosity of today, he sadly says: Only man is vile. Fable has it that tne peacock would die of pride if it were ifot for his feet, but curious man has made his feet ugly, because of pride. He first sought to protect them, for this became necessary when he abandoned arboreal life, but presently he began to confine them closer and closer, the sandal which carried Caesar’s legions to victory, being abandoned for the deforming tight leather box, now universally used. It was false pride that invented and developed the mishappen ugly shoe of to-day; which, inasmuch as it violates every canon of symetry, beauty and mechanical usefulness as reflected from the normal foot, constitutes a mlsr carriage of the human brain. Pride, vain glory and hyprocacy, assisted much by stupidity, invented the pointed and crooked shoe of today. Had we possessed the slightest appreciation of the natural symetry, the beauty and the mechanical excellence and usefulness of the human foot we would not now be suffering to such a degree from spinal and nervousi disorders. The French highheeled shoe is an instrument for public ill health, not equalled by all the bad smelling dead animal rendering establishments belonging to our cities. —By Dr. J. N. Hurty, State Health Commissioner.

MRS. STETSON QUITS CHURCH

Excommunicated Christian Scientist Says Study Mrs. Eddy’s Works. New York. Nov. 23. —Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, pastor emeritus of the First Church of C hrlst, Scientist in this city, who was excommunicated by the Christian Science mother church, announces her resignation as head of the local followers of Mary Baker Eddy in a letter reading in part as follows: “I am informed that objection was made to the continued payment of the annual sum voted to me in recognition of my services to this church. It would seem desirable that this payment be discontinued. “For establishing this branch church more securely as a part of the mother vine, and for making it even more fruitful than in the past, greater consecration on the part of all the members is necessary. This greater consecration will be manifested in higher realization and demonstration of truth and love. In this work, the Bible, Science and Health, the Mother Church manual and the other writings of our beloved leader, Mary Baker Eddy, are a ‘sufficient guide to eternal life.’ ”
