MUST CENTER ON MIR. TAYLOR Or Alabama Will Lose
 Its Place. SUCCESSOR TO MIR. BANKHEAD Struggle for the Waterways Con-
 mitteeship. Unless Mobile Congressman |. Named. Vacancy May Go to 0hIoan.
 Williams Wants More
 for Democrats. C
SUCCESSOR TO MIR. BANKHEAD
BY ALrRED .. sTOrER.

Washington, Dec. I.-(Special. l--- Such struggle is going on for the only Democratic vacancy on the House Rivers and Harbors Committee that the Alabama delegation in Congress seem to realize fully that if the State is to secure the plum. they will have to make some arrangement to press only one man.
 As previously mentioned in these dispatches, Representative Taylor has been strongly urged to consent to leave the Appropriation Committee and take place on Rivers and Harbors. Judge Richardson has been endorced by the Tennessee River Asstcations for membership on the committee, and Representative Burnett has influential backing. It is feared, however, that if all three are pressed the assignment may be captured by some other State, North Carolina, South Carolina and Ohio each having a candidate,
 Minority Leader Williams Is plead ing with Speaker Cannon to give the Democrats seven. instead of six. mem bers of the committee. in view of the fact that the Democrats have so much larger membership in this House than in the last The Speaker has not de- cided. Opinions differ as to the final decisionl
 If the increase is granted, even then
 
 mel Bankhead's successor on the con- mittee. unless one man only is pressed.
 All of the Democratic members of the committee in the last House were from the South. This is why the Ohio men are urging that General Sherwood Of the Toledo district should be now recognized
 If Representative Taylor reliaquishes Appropriations for Rivers and Har- bors. 1t is admitted that he will be in a position to do more for his State. Technically, as a member of Appropri- ations, he helps to vote many moro millions out of the treasury. but as | compared with Rivers and Harbors, n small percentage of the millions gt | directly to the South and to Alabama ! in particular.
 It is held that he could do more for his State by going on Rivers and Har- bors, the honor would be just as great. and the chances are that another Ala bama member might get his place on appropriations, owing to the fact tbat the Alabama members generally hay z served a number of terms in |. ' House.

MEN CAUGHT IN MINE

rxcI..,ou of Black Damp In Naomi Mine Euto,nbs The Night
 Force in The Poisonous

Favette City, Pa, Dec, 2-Between twenty-two and thirty miners possipiy roore are entombed in the Naomi mine of the United Coal Company located three miles West of this city and there is practically no hope that any of them are alive.
 Their imprisonment is due to an ex- pIosion of black damp about O'CLOCK last night soon after the night force went to work. It is said miner en- tering with an open lamp caused the explosion. Had the disaster occurred on any other night except Sunday the number of victims would nave peeh twice as large. , ona regularly. about one fourth of them driving entry at night. but on sunday nights only about one half the night force goes to work.
 The mine is of ths shaft type and inc concrete sides of the entry were broken down so as to completely close the passage hack erahls dist- ance. About loo feet from the entrance is located the first air shaft and from this deadly gas Is pouring in great volume. The gas found In mines in this territory Is so poisonous that no human being can live in 1t for more than a few minutes and for this reason it is not believed a single one of the entombed men Is still alive. One man, an unidentified foreigner. managed 10 climb to the top of the first air shaft hut dropped dead there. No sign of life has come from the others.
 Just after the night force entered the shaft there was a flash which light ed up the mine and all around 1t. There was a roar as tons of coal and slate crashed down into the entries crowded with workmen. Then utter darkness followed. the explosion putting out of business completely the lighting and air facilities of the mine. The, mine immediately filled with gases and sew eral not hurt by the explosion perished while running.

NO REVOLT IN PORTUGAL.
Investigation Disclosea Reports Were
 Sent out to Inture.


 Lisbon, Dec, 1.-The baseless charac- ter of the alarmist rumors representing that Portugal was on the eve of civil war and revolution. has been fully es- abolished by the independent investiga- ton of staff correspondent of the As sociated Press.
 There never seems to have been the slightest excuse for the stories cireu- lated from the frontier that the King was a prisonr in the castle. that the crown prince had been banished and that the navy had mutinied.
 A strong suspicion exists that such reports were parts of campaign of Premier Franco's enemies. instituted in order to create distrust abroad in the country's financial position and thus ciscredit and bring about the down. fall of the Premier at home.
 To a certain extent this ruse was successful, for the premium on gold rose to a figure unprecedented in re- cent years. The movement doubtless being accentuated by the monetary strinRency abroad. The fury in ex- change, however rapidly disappeared as the gravity of the situation here was idisproved.
