ROOSEVELT ENJOYS FIGHT.
Knowing He Has the Facts on His
Side Is Indifferent to
Criticism


President Roosevelt not only hugely
enjoyed the action of the house of repre-
sentatives in passing resolution OF re-
buke because of his utterances on the
secret service, but he is said to have
told one of his visitors that he con.
sidered the representatives who voted
in favor of the resolution ''set of
jackies.'' The president told several of
his callers that he could not express
his contempt for the action because
that would be highly improper, but he
impressed on them his firm conviction
that he had "won out,'' and that he
had no fears about the public sustain
ing him in his attitude. He declared
that it was immaterial to him what the
house of Representatives did-that they
could pass measures, etc. If they re-
turned message to'him he would send
it back and he was perfectly willing
to indulge in an official game of bat
tledore and shuttlecock if that was the
wish of the house.
And to show that he is perfectly in
different the president declared he
would refuse to send to the senate the
reason why Attorney General Bona
parte had refused to prosecute the
United States Steel corporation for alb
sorbing the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company.
The president was apparently pleased
with the spectacle of one branch of
congress condemning him for his in
sistence against the restrictions of the
police service of the government when,
at the same time, disclosures in the
Tillman land deal showed the absolute
necessity of some sort of espionage.
Loaded to the Muzzle.
1t does not seem to be the desire of
the president to continue to contest
with congress, but there is every indi-
cation that if open war is to be called
he is loaded to the muzzle with mate
rial of a sensational character. Al
though no charges of personal i'm
propriety have been made public it is
understood that it is not because of
facts of an unpleasant character
against some members of congress are
not accessible. The question of the
abuse Of the franl1ing privilege has
long been considered a scandal, but it
was believed the practice had been
abandoned. It is said upon high au.
thorIty that the public might be in
terested to learn the character of ma
terial that some congressman have been
sending from point to point under a
government frank. 1t is said that the
postal authorities do not open franked
packages but frequently breakage Of
the outer coverings of franked matter
has resulted in some startling disclo-
sures.

TO PROBE SECRET SERVICE.
House Appoints Committee to Make
Sweeping Investigation Of
Appropriations.

That the house does not intend to
stop with its action in rebul0ing the
president in connection with his stric-
lures, regarding the secret service was
evidenced Saturday, when at the in
stance Of Mr.. Tawney Of Minnesota
and without a dissenting vote it adopted
a sweeping resolution Of inquiry into
the amount Of money appropriated for
the present fiscal year for detecting
frauds and the efforts made to bring
10 trial offenders against the law.
The resolution called for the ap.
pointmeut Of committee of five mem.
beers and TO administer oaths. The sum
of $4,000 was appropriated. II Is un-
dersiood that there viii be nothing
further from the president on the mat
ter of the secret service adopted by the
house Saturday.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE

Declares His Conduct "Gross Breach
of Judicial and Professional Pro-
priety Acts Highly Censurable''
Recommends That Spokane Judges
Order Grand Jury Investigation.

Seattle.-The report of the state bar
association investigating committee,
filed with Chairman Bridges, concerning
their findings in the Root GORDON scan
dial, finds that Judge Root had CORE
spondence with M. j. Gordon, attorney
for the Great Northern Railway com
pany, concerning money transaction;
that Judge Root accepted from the
Great Northern, through M. j.. Gordon,
and from other railroads, free trans
portation; that Judge Root filed as the
opinion of the supreme court an almost
verbatim draft of an opinion dictated
by M. J. Gordon, attorney for the Great
Northern, in the case of Harris against
the railroad company. The committee
is unable to obtain any facts to sub
stantiate the rumor of the giving out
of advance information concerning the
decisions of the supreme court. The
committee is unable to obtain any facts
to substantiate rumors of bribery and
corruption.

COAL GAS EXPLOSION
MORE THAN Is men KILLED
AT ZtlGLER, ILLINOIS.
ton of Awful Accident-Victims
Were Clearing Away the Debris
Caused by Recent Fires-Eight Bodies
Are Missing.

Duquoin, Ill.,, Jan. ia disastrous
gas explosion, in which 25 men lost
their lives, occurred at an early hour
Sunday morning in Joseph Letter g
famous colliery at Zeigler. A spark
from trolley pole of an electric motor
coming into contact with a pocket OF
gas is assigned as the cause of the ex-
plosion.
The Americans killed in the explosion
included:
Willis Warner and Albert Kerr, fore
Fred Morgan, J. o. Erans, Gilbert
Jones, Joe Tact, James Phillips, John
Cassay, Aaron Jertoll, Thomas Hub
bard, c. p. Pickett, Charles Smothers.
Eight bodies yet remain in the mine.
Mr.. Letter personally conducted the
first relief party into the mine. The
lone survivor of the explosion was an
Italian youth, who escaped harm.
An expert who had been experiment
ing with the gases in the mines at
Zeigler said he had placed the mine in
safe condition to be operated.
Clearing Debris of Recent Fires.
The men were engaged in clearing
away the debris caused by the recent
fires in the mine and it was expected
that operations would be resumed this
week, after two months suspension.
The bodies taken from the mine are
badly burned and Identification is diff
fcult. Twenty-six men entered the
mine on the night shift and the names
of the victims are taken from the pay
roll.
The explosion was peculiar. No, noise
OF shock was heard OF felt at the open
ing of the shaft, only a puff of smoke
was noticeable. The engineer noticed
the smoke and, realizing that an acct
dent had happened, summoned aid
The mine recently had been on fire
and the flames had been sealed and con-
fined to workings which were not in
the vicinity Of the present explosion.
Mrs. Letter assisted her husband in
quieting the widows and orphans who
crowded about the mine She furnished
coffee and sandwiches to the men at
tempting to recover the bodies.
The mine was put in operation in
1908 and soon after labor troubles be
gan. In April, 1905, an explosion in the
mine killed 81 men.

Conclusions.

The committee holds that the conduct
of Judge Root in receiving free trans
portation is highly censurable. The
conduct of Judge Root in the Harris
case is characterized as a gross breach
of judicial and professional propriety.
The committee declares that the
action of Judge Root in the Harris
case shows such a want of apprecia-
ton Of the duties Of a judge of the SUI
preme court as to unfit him for oc-
cupying that position.
accommodations
That the state bar association re-
quests the judges Of the superior court
of Spokane county to call a grand Jury
to investigate fully the rumors Of
corruption. Believing that its sugges-
ton will be acted on the committee
feels that it is fair to withhold any
other recommendation. Whether such
inquisition be held the supreme court
and the state bar association will have
the evidence before them upon which
to base any further action or pro-
ceeding
