ROOSEVELT WILL
KEEP COMMISSION
Inland Waterways Subject Will
Be Kept Alive
CONGRESS FAILED TO ACT
Bills Making Permanent the Commits
sion Have Been Allowed To Sum-
Der In the Committee Rooms
of the Senate and House.
CONGRESS FAILED TO ACT

New York June 6.--(Special )-President
Roosevelt today made good his promise to
the governors that If Congress failed to
provide permanent continuation of the in
land waterways commission he would con-
tinue it, Congress failed to continue the
commission. The President today issued
the following statement:
I'm view of the desirabilitV of continuing
the work of the inland waterways COM
mission, the President has requested those
designated last year with the exception
of Gen. Alexander Mckenzie, chief of
engineers, war department who has re-
tired, to continue their services on the
said commission and has also requested
Senator Allison, Representative Ransdell
and Prof. George f. Swain of the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology to
serve as members. AS soon as the selec-
ton for the chief of engineers of the
war department has been made he also
will be designated as a member of the
commission in place of General McKen-
zie
The present personnel of the commission
is as follows: Representative Burton,
chairman William B. Allison, Senator
William Warner Francis G. Newlands
and John H. Bankhead; Representative
Joseph Ransdell, Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester, department of agriculture; F. H.
Newell director Of the reclamation serv-
ice: Herbert Knox Smith, chief of the
bureau of corporations; DR.. w. J. MCGEE.
department of agriculture, and Prof.
George Swain.
The position taken by the President
before the governors who were called by
the President to consider questions of
conservation of the natural resources OF
the country was heartily indorsed by the
governors.
Following the action of the governors,
bills making permanent the commission
and providing it with funds to carry on
it's work of investigation that has been
slumbering in Senate and House commit
tees were promptly reported out.
The House bill carried an appropriation
of $4,000 and the Senate bill $4,000 for
the use of the commission. These bills
passed their respective bodies and went
to conference In the excitement OF the
closing session of Congress. friends OF
the inland waterways commission over
looked the bills and failed to press re-
rort from the conference committee.
The President waited until he could get
full details for the reasons of the failure
of the bills and then fulfilled his promise
to the governors.

MINERS BURIED
IN LIVING TOMB

Silverton, Col, June 6.-(Special.)-
Thirty three men are entknbed in the
Gold King at Gladstone A rescue party
from Silverton attempted to enter the
mine at 10 o'clock. They passed into the
1900 foot tunnel and descended the shaft
to the third level, but were forced to re-
turn to the Lore level by foul air and
smoke caused by the destruction of the
surface buildings in Thursday nights fire,
which disabled the fans.
The SO men are believed to be below
the third level, but what the air con-
dItions at that point and down to the fifth
and last level are can only be surmised
1t Is feared that the air In the levels
IL worse than above and If such is the
case then every one of the SO men is prob
ably dead.

REMEDY FOR HYDROPH0D|A IS
BELIEVED TO HAVE Been FOUND

Paris. June s.-(Special0-A remedy for
rabies is believed to have been discovered
at last. DR.. Auguste Marie, chief of the
laboratory Of the Pasteur INSTITUTE mas
been experimenting for several years with
the modified treatment for advanced cases
of rabies like that of Mr. Marsh In Brook
lyn recently. Although he was unwilling
today to give details of the results be-
fore making them known through an ofh-
cial medium, he says that they have been
most encouraging with the Pasteur treat
ment as used since the proportion OF
fresh virus of rabies with serum renders
the virus innocuous when injected into
animals and man. This mixture OF virus
and serum secures immunity much more
quickly than when the ordinary method
is used.

Action Of Republican Commit
tee Causes Trouble
TAFT OPPONENTS ARE HOT
Claim Is Made That Committee Does
Not Act Fairly In Deciding Con-
tests and a Split Is Threat
ened In Convention.

Chicago, June 6.-(Special.) "A total of
1e votes was added to Secretary Taft s
delegation to the Chicago convention to-
day. Allied opponents of the Secretary
of War now concede his nomination, If
the committee continues to decide other
states as 1t has those already passed
upon. And they are certain that the COM
mittee will act as it has been acting so
much so that the contestlng delegates are
considering withdrawal and presenting
their case to the credentialas committee of
the convention, The colored voters have
broken loose with a storm of denunciation
They go so far as to threaten to bolt
the ticket entirely if Secretary Taft is
nominated and put up candidate of their
own for the presidency-Senator Joseph b.
Foraker, If the champion of their cause
can be induced to accept a nomination.
BY those who are in close touch with
Senator Foraker it is not considered I'M
possible that he would accept.
The fighting Ohio statesman is more
angry over the negro question than he
has ever been over anything in his life
His intimates believe it is entirely pos
sible that he might choose to re-enact the
role of Sampson and pull down the en-
tire fabric of the republican party, al
though he should destroy himself politi-
! cally in doing so. They feel sure Of one
thing If Foraker should accept sucn a
nomination he would SO split the vote in
! Ohio and probably in New York also
that both of them would be lost to the
republicans
