LOUIS CLUB ROUSE SUITS Dt THIRTY DEAD FUMES FURE IN NIGBT their search without the Tloleace, taking the body from a grave in the HUdago ceme tery, almost within sight of the Texas borter. 'Vergara was shot twice through tbo bead aad once through the neck, hie Skull was crushed as by a blow from a rifle batt* and tbe charred fin gers of the left hand indicated that ke had been tortured before being put fte death. Ideal!Ic&tlou wsa made by the dead man’s son and numerous Meads, many of whom were In the party af nine, led by the State border patrol, which made the grim Journey to the Hidalgo cemetery during the early morning hours. The body was not badly decomposed, despite Its three weeks’ burial and In addition to recognizing tbe features, young Yegara took a bit of cloth from the tronsers which enclosed the body and Sketched It to the coat which his father had on the day he crossed the Rio Grande.' Recovery of the body was made by n farce of Texans. Including friends af the dead man, acting with the troops of Texas Rangers, under Capt. Saunders, who has been Investigat ing the circumstances of Vergara’s aelsure by federals for Gov. Colquitt. A secret investigation, In which many Mexicans had been questioned. Is un- Aerstood to have preceded the trip Into Mexico. Leading the force was n man who claimed to have been a witness to both the execution and ’bnrial of Vergara. v The force gathered near the .Ver gara ranch, not far from the spot where Vergara crossed the river to meat the Mexican federals. who 'promised remuneration for stolen torses. Moving silently they began the overland march to Hidalgo, a distance of about five miles. They avoided tbe town. It was said, under It# cover of night and met no one to question their Journey. Location of the grave where Ver- gura waa supposed to He proved an easy task, for it has been a centre of ■peculation and wonder since It ap peared, after a swinging body had , cut down from the place of exe- after tbe bee and cry over Vergara’s disappearance started an Investigation. Tbe body had been rudely interred with little effort to protest It from the earth. With their burden Axed on a stretcher carried by six af the dead man’s friends the preeeestoa started unchallenged on the return trip. — Opt. Colquitt requested permission et .the United States department to send Texns Rangers across the bor der to pursue the ’’abductors and murderers” of Vergara and waa told by Secretary of State Bryan that the Uatted States government could alone take authority for sending an armed force into a foreign country. Later, when Mrs. Vergara made the charge Vf horse theft, Qov. Colquitt naked of the State department "whom the United States recognized as con stltnted authority In Northern Mex loo” so that he might make requlsl Uon, under the Mexican treaty, for the men named. This question was never answered to the satisfaction of Gov. Colquitt and the governor an*- uouaced that to solve the question ha would make requisition both of the federal aad constitutionalist gov- aruoru of the States of Nnevo Leon Z d Chihuahua. This was on Frl- y aad, ao far a» known, the requi- sMen has not boon issued. ' 'tax-"' The committee on immigration of the Senate of which Senator E. b Smith is Chairman, Thursday voted tb' report to the Senate favorably for passage the pending immigration measure. For several weeks the Sen ate committee has been at work on various sections of the bill, which was Introduced early In the present con gress. Chairman Smith has been devoting practically his entire time for month to the various questlona in volved and Is highly pleased with the terms of the measure reported. It Is doubtful if there Is a more Important bill now receiving the consideration of congress than the immigration measure—a measure that is Impor tant not alone to the laborera of the United States and to the future of America, but Important as It affects the relatonshlp of this country with the foregn nations. Chairman Smith bas been In fne quent conferences with Secretary Bryan with regard to those provisions of the measure which might affect the official or friendly conduct of the United States with foreign countrlea. It Is understood the bill that the Senate committee reports is entirely satisfactory with reference to Inter national policies. The Senate committee on Immigra tion, of the strongest committees of the present Senate, has gone minute ly Into every detail of the bill and ex perts of the immigration service to day pronounce the measure as being the best thought out and strongest Immigration measure that haa ever been presented to the Senate. The literacy test, which was the provision that aroused most opposition, Is re tained practically as originally drawn, and Is regarded as ne of the strongest restrictive features of the measure. It Is, however, but one of the ser- eral provisions which have as their aim the restriction of the present day Influx of aliens Into the United States. The opinion of Senator Smith, of course, Is known to be in favor of all provisions which will prevent the fur ther entry of undesirable immigrants,, and the fact that the commute has voted to report the measure contain ing all of the restrictive clauses in dicates that the committee is behind Its chairman in thla attitude. It Is pretty well agreed that the Senate will pass the pending measure, not withstanding reporta that are current that the act might be vetoed If passed In Its present form. It Is quite probable that efforts will be made to amend the bill on the floor of. the Senate, but as to whether or not this will be done la problem atical. Senator Smith la engaged in the preparation of the report which will accompany the bill into the Sen ate, and beyond stating that he was highly gratified at the reaulU ao far and that the fight bad Juat now be gun in earnest would have nothing further to say. Senator Smith ha« been warmly congratulated by friends of the measure for the able manner In which he haa conducted to succeas- ful Issue the passages of the bill through bis committee.

Seven bodies have been recovered and from twenty-three to twenty-nine occu pants of the structure are still un accounted for. At sundown firemen CAN GO THROUGH MAIL Tillman Secnres Provision to Let Plants and Seeds in Parcel Post. . cjjj Senator Tillman Monday expressed satisfaction over the fact that the post office appropriation bill, which now ‘awaita the president’s signature, contains,* provision Inserted at his Instance extending parcel post rates tq “seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and and plants.” This means that after the signing of the bill cab bage plants can be sent by parcel post and at parcel post rates. On ac count of a technicality in the law, these plants have been required to paj* more than th« parcel post rats. Senator Tillman has been working on the matter for almost a year. He took it up with the postmaster gea- eral, but that official found that ha could not make the deni red change without specific action by congreea. Then.the senator impressed the im portance of the subject upon Chair man Bankhead, of the Senate poet of fice committee, who put the provision In the MU as a Senats amendmsnt. In conference' committee Reprosenta- tlv Finley, who was one of the con ferees, saw to it that ths House ac cepted the amendment. • Pice Drill Saves Pupils. One thousand Baltimore school children went through their fire drill Thursday as a fire destroyed their building. Sent Girl by Parcel Post. Four year old May Plerstorff, was sent from Orangeville, Idaho, to Lew- istoa, of the same state, hy parcel searchlights. The cause of the fire was a mys tery. Reports that the blaze was ac companied by a terrific explosion. In dicating that the fire waa due to ef forts of bank robbers to dynamite the Boatmen’s Bank, were unconfirmed. The fire was discovered by a wo man, who was waiting In the club lobby for her escort. She saw the reflection of the flames In the plate glass windows across the street. When firemen arrived flames were shooting out of the roef and all the windows above the second floor. Men were Jumping from windows or climbing down ropes made of bed clothes. More than a dozen Jumped several stories to roofs of adjoining buildings and suffered broken legs or less serious Injuries. Those who es caped unhurt ran about the streets In night clothes apparently frenzied, until they were forcibly carried into neighboring hotels. Thirty-eight guests on the fifth floor were awakened by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Magill, who refused to leave until they had given the alarm to all within reach. Mr. Magill waa house manager of the club. Mrs. Magill was badly burned. Thp fire fighters repeatedly dodged one falling wall only to find them selves under another tottering mass of granite and brick. Theodore Levy of Louisville, Ky., clung to a window sill until both hfs hands were scorch ed almost black. > Just as he was about to let go a fireman grasped grasped him about the waiat and car ried him down a ladder. Levy said two of the men who had been killed jumped from the window to which he had dung. ' > As walls and floors collapsed they sent showers of huge embers on to roofs of neighboring buildings and for a time threatened to cause a gen eral conflagration in the heart of the retail district. AH fire fighting ap paratus of the city was brought to the scene. 0 The telephone operator, a boy, re mained at hla post' on tbe gronnd floor even after tbe firemen began pouring water into the building. Many of the gueats credited their escape to him. At tlx o’clock Monday morning, four bours after tbe fire had been discovered, the blaxe was believed to have been under control. Half an hour later, however, tbe boilers In the basement began to explode and for the first time the firemen under order of their chief withdrew from the street Immediately in front of the building. It waa feared the last two remaining walls would collapse and bury them. y Judge C. Orrlck Bishop, assistant circuit attorney, roomed on the sixth floor. "The sound of flames crack ling like giant firecrackers awakened me,” said Judge Bishop. “There was a fire escape in front of my window. I ran down the six flights. I saw sev eral men jump and bounce off the sidewalk like rubber balls. I waa only slightly bruised.” YOUNG MRN ARE HURT. Two Salnda White Men Suffer In juries la Fight.
