general, the 1908 scale is happy
ending Of the controversy.

After the reading of President
Roosevelt's message on the oil in
dustry, prominent Kentucky Dem
ocratic congressman said that he
would not be at all surprised if both
the Republican and Democratic
parties nominate him in 1908 for
President. Many Others feel the
same way about it. Never in the
history of the nation has there be-
fore been such a thought, but it is
so serious now that it can not be re-
garded at all idle.

Final Vote Taken

The final vote in the conference in the
central competitive field, of which the
other districts base their settlements,
was upon a motion offered by President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers to
adopt the wage scale of 1903, which
would have been an increase in wages
of $50 per cent. The operators of I'LL
nois, Indiana and Ohio voted against
the proposition, which defeated it and
the disruption of the conference fol-
lowed. Operators of western Pennsyl-
vania and the miners of the western
states voted for it.
f. L. Robbins and other operators,
representing one-third of the coal pro-
duction of western Pennsylvania, OHIO,
Indiana and Illinois, offered to pay the
advance and urged the miners to ac-
cept this advance and continue work
in their mines, even though the other
mines in the four states should be
idle.
The convention of miners tomorrow
will take action upon this situation to
decide whether to permit this or de-
mand that all miners suspend work un-
til all have been paid the advance.

FAvoRs SEA LEVEL CANAL
Davis Says 1t Will Afford Ample Room
for Ships to Pass
BY Associat ted Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-General
George w. Davis, formerly of the
Isthmian Canal commission and gov
ernor of the canal zone, and later
chairman of the board of consulting
engineers, appeared before the senate
committee on interoceanic canals to-
day in support of the majority report
recommending the construction of d
sea level canal.
Commenting upon the alleged dam
gers of big ships passing each other
the witness said the sea level plan
provided for every ship likely to be
built in the next twenty years and
there was no point where the ships
likely TO pass through the canal could
not meet in perfect safety. When the
need for a wider canal arises this
country would be ready to enlarge the
canal which he thought could easily
be done General Davis illustrated his
remarks with a group of models
General Davis concluded a long
statement with the assertion that if
a sea level canal were constructed at
the cost of $25O,0O0.O0O and its usage
was equal to the Suez canal, canal
bonds could be redeemed from the rev.
enues in twenty or twenty-five years
Members of the committee will ques-
ton General Davis tomorrow.

Executive and judicial bill was then re-
Eumed in committee of the whole.
Objects to Expense Accounts
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota objected to
the amount appropriated for travelling
and other expenses of confidential
tagents of the department of the IN
terror. Mr.. Mann of Illinois said 1t
would be a crime not to support the
secretary of the interior in his brave
fight against powerful influences.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi, who Of
fered the amendment increasing the
amount appointed for confidential
agents of the interior department for
1000 to $4,000, said the secretary of
the interior had stated that his agents
had run down" a man i'll California
who had "gobbled" up 265,OO0 acres of
the public domain, and it was for the
purpose of looking after this case as
we'll as others that the additional
amount was needed.
Mr.. Tawney offered a substitute for
Mr.. Williams amendment appropriatinS
$4,000 for the ''protection of public
lands from illegal and fraudulent entry
or appropriation" which was adopted.
Committee Again Defeated
The appropriations committee was
given another defeat when the para
graph relating to the division of rail-
way mail service was reached.
Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, chairman
of the postoffice and post roads COM
mittee, moved that the paragraph be
stricken out on the ground that it
properly belonged in the postoffice
committee. An extended debate ensued
and by vote of 5S TO % the paragraph
was voted out of the bill.

claims on Saturday instead of Friday
after which, at p. M, the house ad-

Rv Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, March 29.-Since the
decision of the house committee on
naval affairs to recommend an appro-
priation of s6OO0,O0O for the construc-
ton of battleship larger than any
now a1oat naval experts in Washington
have been discussing the question.
This discussion shows that Admiral
Dewey is not generally upheld in his
opinion that the government should
have larger battleships. There Will be
but one ship authorized at present.
At least four battleships of the same
size and with similar batteries and
equipment are necessary, according to
the views of the naval constructor IN
order to be effective in action.
If congress should decide that the
new battleships must have tWelVe-lnch
guns. as has been suggested, ship
with a displacement of $4,000 tons would
be necessary in the opinion of Admiral
Camps. and Secretary Bonaparte be-
lieves this will probably be the size OF
the proposed ship. The British battle
ship Dreadnaught carries only ten
tWelVe-inch guns.

Girlhood, WOmanhOOd, Motherhood.

The first lesson that the young girl
has of womanhood is usually painful
one. She learns to know what head
ache means, and backache, and some
