COREY HEARD FROM.
A Pennsylvania Coal Operator Tells
the Investigating Committee a Few
Things..--A Red-HOt Witness.

Pittsburg. Pa, April 23.-The session
of the legislative committee appointed
to inquire into the condition of affairs
in the Pittsburg mining district, was
enIiyened to-day by the severe arraign-
ment of the committee by ]. B. Corey,
a wealthy coal operator. When Mr..
Corey took the stand he objected to
the legislature "nosing into other peo-
ple's business" and said the members
ought to be investigated. The present
Investigation he characterized as an
outrage and a disgrace to the common
wealth of Pennsylvania. The atmos-
where of the room where the investiga-
tion is being held, he said, was awful,
and he added that the money spent on
cigars and tobacco would relieve the
distress Of the miners
He said his mine was idle because
there was no money in the business at
existing prices. He offered to turn over
tho mine. mules, wagons, locomotives,
etc 70 the committee for six months
and not charge them anything for 1t,
evcent wear and tear, and they can see
what money there is in the business
and find employment for the men VINO
are idle. ,o,on
The witness also denounced iapor
leaders and organizations and SAID ne

and was proud of it.

said:
= am going to Washington to consult
with authorities in reference to plan

consuls and diplomatic officers in the
United States to organize subscription
fund for the purpose of raising and equip
ping a regiment Of Greeks settled in this
country, and sending them to the aid Of
King George in his present struggle with
Turkey Already large subscriptions have
been made in different cities to the Greek
cause. but if a national fund gas formed
for the stated purpose of enabling the
Greeks in this country to return home,
enough money could be raised in the
United States in a month, not only tc
equip regiment. but to render material
aid to the army in the ield.'
In this city subscription books have
been opened. and to-day $24O was raised
to aid the Greek cause.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, April 23.-The
Constitutional Committee held talk
ing session to-day. Very little was
done except to discuss the merits of
certain pending amendments.
Mr.. Hanen offered an amendment ex-
empting from taxation such proportion
of the assessed value of real estate as
any debt for purchase money existing
by lien Of record against the same may
bear to the actual cash value of such
real estate; also an amendment to give
the Legislature power to tax all privi-
leges and franchises, Of persons and cor
porations.
Mr.. Toler offered an amendment fix
ing the weight of all articles of mer-
chandise, and providing for the office
of the sealer of weights and measures.
The object of the amendment is TO con-
troll the measurement and weighing of
coal
Mr.. Darst offered an amendment pro-
viding for the Office of land appraiser.
George e. Price, of Charleston, was
before the committee and proposed sew
eraI amendments, the principal of which
was the appointment by the Governor
of Judges of the Supreme Court, and
the appointment of prosecuting attor-
neys by the circuit judges.
The amendment providing for tha
election Of Secretary Of State and Ad-
iutant General was taken up and the
words "Adiutant General" were strick-
en- out of the amendment and that Office
is left an appointive one as at present.
A motion to strike out Secretary OF
State" also was discussed all of the
afternoon and was pending when the
amendment was made the special order
for tomorrow at II o'clock.
No action has been taken on the reso-
luton prviding for division of the
committee into two for the purpose Of
visiting various portions Of the State,
and it is not likely that any action will
be taken. 1t appears that a majority
of the committee is opposed to it.
The committee hopes to complete
their work and adjourn by next Tues
day.
Senator Baker left for his home this
evening. having received a telegram
announcing the serious illness of his
wife.
