IS
 LIKELY TO DRAG

Washington, February 2.-trankly ad- hitting fear that a prolonged investi- gation of the increasing cost of living by the ways and means committee of the house or as provided for by any of the rival resolutions might drag through the summer and work to the disadvantage of the republicans in the elections, the Senate finance committee today formed a plan for a quick inquiry of the sub ject.
 This important question was considered by the committee and as a result Senator Lodge introduced a resolution providing for a select committee of five senators to do the work.
 No problem, it Is said. has proved so embarrassing to the republican party during it's long continued control of Con- gress. When the majority members of the finance committee met today consid- eration was given to demands of every section of the country that something be done to restore normal prices on all necessaries of life. Several senators de- clared high prices would be attributed directly to the tariff and that unless something was done to refute this charge the republican party would be compelled to bear the brunt of the attack.

BALLINGER DECIDES TO
 EMPLOY AN ATTORNEY

AS a matter of fact the cross-examina- tion consisted largely of questions asked by the democratic members of the com mittee and designed to accentuate the po- litical phases of the testimony GlaVis had previously given.
 The matter, it was said was called to the attention of Attorney General Wick ersham to see if some representative of the department of justice might not act as counsel for the government depart ments which are under investigation.
 It was pointed out the only way the committee could get at the facts was to have the case presented in orderly fash ion from both sides, and that 1t was un- fair to the committee to place upon 1t the entire burden of cross-examination to test the credibility of the witness.
 Much of the testimony given by MT GlaJls outside of letters and telegrams already in the record has consisted of conversations with MT. Ballinger at which no third person was present.
 As the truth or falsity of these state ments will rest solely upon the credibility of Mir Glavis, as the accuser, and Secre- tary Ballinger as the defendant, the in- vestigating committee has felt that there should be counsel present thoroughly conversant in the matter of reliability ard kindred subjects.
 The attorney general took up the mat ter with several members of the cabinet yesterday. The result was to recommend that some one of the defendants should be represented by counsel.

Washington, February 2.-Secretary Ballinger at last, after persuasion, has decided to employ counsel to appear be- fore the Ballinger Pinchot committee.
 MT. Ballinger refused to engage coun- sel in his own behalf declaring that he had nothing to conceal. Senator Nelson. chairman of the committee, expressed the attitude of the committee, as favor ing the presence of counsel for both sides, wherefore MT. Ballinger finally has decided to follow the suggestion. The attorney employed by MT. Ballin- ger will also represent Fred Dennett, commissioner of the land office, and II. H. Schwartz, chief of the field service.
 Although his name has not been di- vulged, the attorney who will represent the secretary and the others interested Is said to be a western lawyer, and thoroughly familiar with the land sit- uation as it enters the controversy. A telegram was sent to him today asking If he would come to Washington for the purpose and he replied that he would start at once.
 -.Ai the close of the Investigating com mittees session Monday afternoon Sem ator Nelson said the cross examination of Louis R. Glavis had proceeded free ly" because of the lack of counsel.

.INSURGENT LINES
 CLOSELY DRAWN

Washington, February 2.-Resding letter said to have been written by Representative Crow of Missouri tell ing one of his constituents that if he should receive an appointment as cen sus enumerator he would have to as- certain the relative strength of "insur- gents" and regular republicans, Repre- sentative Robinson of Arkansas at tackled the bill providing for the 18th census when that measure was taken under con sideration in the House today.
 The letter was In the form of news paper clipping and contained the state ment that the work the census enumer- ator would have to do would be such as any enthusiastic republican will be glad to do ard will not in any wise con fiict with your duty az an enumeratcr.'
 1t also stated that this extra work would be outlined to the candidate on his appointment so that he need not accept the appointment if he did not desire to do what would be asked of him.
 Still reading from the letter, MT. Robinson quoted a statement to the eff feet that tho writer wanted to know whether the voters were Insurgents" or regulars, and whether their disaffec- tion was great enough to take them out of the party altogether"

cARELL'S NOMINATION
 CONFIRMED BY SENATE

Washington, February 2.-The nomi- nation of Rayol E. Cabell of Richmond, Va. to be United States commissioner of internal revenue. who has been serv- ing in that position under temporary commission, was today confirmed by the Senate. This action followed a favora- ble report on his nomination by the committee on finance today. which, com mittee also favorably reported the nom ination of James F. Curtis of Massa- chusetts to be assistant secretary of the treasury.
 Some objection to Mir. Cabell was made because of statements that he had been "too independent" with members of Congress who had business to trans act with the internal revenue commits sioner. The opposition to MT. Curtis was based on the fact that he was ap- pointed by Secretary MacVeagh without consulting the Massachusetts delega- tion.
 It is stated that the commitete had no intention to repect the nominations. but that the delay in taking action was intended to constitute a mild rsbuks of treasury officials

Primero, Col, February 2-Monday's eX- plosion in the main mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company claimed total of 75 victims and left s5 widows and 65 fath- erless children.
 These facts were determined late this afternoon when the official canvass of the camp was completed and the names of the missing men were checked with the pay rolls.
 Exploration of the workings continue and tonight the bodies of the two drivers, unidentified, were found and brought to the surface.
 Late this afternoon Coroner Guilfoyle sent 34 bodies to Trinidad on a special train and tomorrow will probably forward the remaining Is to that city, where d general funeral will be held.
 Late this afternoon a semi-officisl state ment was obtained by the Associated Press of the progress of the work. This statement showed that exploring parties had penetrated 5000 feet from the en- trance along the main slope.
 As to the recovery of bodies the state ment says that all expectation has been given up of recovering any more bodies ustil the entries have been cleared of sseat quantity of debris.
 This will require weeks and probably months as all the workings except the main slope are badly filled.
 No opinion was expressed as to the

Cherry, Ill.,, February 2.-Owing to an extensive fall of rock that blocked the gallery connecting the main shaft and the escape shaft the work of clearing the St. Paul mine and recovering the bodies of the men killed in the fire of last November. went forward slowly to- day.
 The pasageways between these two shafts must. be cleared before anything else can be done Owing to this unex- pected delay the corpse seen near the air shaft early today was not taken from the mine.
 Under the direction of four state min ing experts who are inspectors and the orders of President Newham of the state mining board, experienced mine builders are laboring day and night to reach the bodies.
 While the underground work Is pro- ceeding, sanitary experts. doctors and mine officers are trying to determine what shall be done with the bodies and the seepage water In which many of the corpses have been floating for more than two months

Streets O Paris Are Full Ot Dangerous
 Wreckdge And Pits

Paris, February 2.-As the flood re- cedes the streets of Paris present de- plorable condition Miles of them in the districts along the Seine are covered with broken wreckage and the slime left by the waters, and present in many places dangerous pits and yawning gaps. Dur ing the last 24 hours the river has fal- len from two to three feet, but below Paris there are several feet of water and boats are to be seen everywhere carrying relief to the sufferers Contributions are coming in from every point and the Americans here, as well as those in their own country. have been very generous. Large money subscriptions have been re- ceived from well-known Americans.
 Every precautionary measure has been taken to prevent a scourge following in the wake of the flood and the health au- thoritles are sanguine that the danger of an epidemic of any disease except typhoid fever Is a negligible quantity. Typhoid Is always epidemic in France, due, un- with the warnings issued against the drinking of unboiled water, it is hoped to avoid this danger.
 The government has instructed the pre- fects of the departments and the provini- cial authorities everywhere to enforce the most rigid disinfection as the water re- cedes.
 Already large quantities Of chloride of lime, quick lime and other disinfectants have been employed. Health officers and physicians who have volunteered to do the work have been detailed to inspect the disinfection done privately.

 The rescue work varies some from past work of a similar nature under the di- rection of State Mine Inspector Jones, who said tonight:
 "CondItlons are a little different from what they were 24 hours ago. With As sistant Mine Inspector Griffith, l=spent the day investigating independently of other rescuing parties and worked down the main slope as far as the Al2 entry In All entry We penetrated as far as the fourth blind. which is between 1900 and 1500 feet from the mouth of the entry. This entry is eaved tho entire length and for the most part We were obliged to crawl on our hands and knees Of the B entries which lay to the right of the main air course, We partly ex plored entry B5. Here the force of the explosion was terrific. l understand that three men were working in that entry, their bodies having been removed.
 "I have not been able to locate the seat of explosion nor have ] reached any determination. The operation of the fans was correct and the main fan is still forcing in air and the east fan is still exhausting There is much afterdamp in the mine
 Italian Consul A. Rossi and Deputy Austrian Consul Gori arrived today, ac- companied with interpreters. They talked with families and friends of the victims.
 Tonight they said they. were ready to give temporary aid to families or the dead should 1t be needed.

Nashville, February 2.-In arguing for nv trial in the case of Col D. B. and Robin Cooper, convicted of the mur- der of former United States Senator E w. Mccormack, Attorney General Gates today laid special stress upon what he termed the mysteries of the case.
 These included the finding of a re volver scabbard in Senator Carmack' s overcoat pocket. and the bullet which worked out of the wound in Robin Cooper's shoulder, cleansed itself on the gauge dressing and was found In the bed.
 The scabbard incident developed one of the sensations at the trial. The clothing had been searched carefully, but the scab- bard was not found. About three weeks before the trial two attorneys for the defense asked to view the dead mans clothing. One of Them, General Wash ington, put on the Carmack overcoat, ran

EXPERTS WORK SLOWLY
 IN THE CHERRY MINES

It was at first suggested that the wa ter be pumped into sewer that runs through Cherry to a creek south of town. This plan was objected to by residents who feared a pestilence as the drinking water in Cherry Is pumped from the shallow wells.
 The men of Cherry are pleading day and night for employment in the mine As Chief Mine Boss Arch Frew left the mine today after working all night in the burned out passages Bonfillo Gag zatio, boy of 15 years, asked for work
 You were one of the 20 fellows who sat cooped in the mine for eight days efter the fire, Bonfillio, and now you want to go down there again?' said Frew. q think you are too young to take a chance Your two brothers are dead down there and your sister lost her mind as result. I'll give you top work"
 Yes, but want to get down there and save my brothers bodies said Bon fllio. T am sure they are alive yet. too They had a big canvas and they could place that around them, crawl into a pocket of the mine and could have stayed there all right

POLITICAL ECHOES
 ARE AWAKENED

London February 2.-An echo of the recent political campaign was heard to- day when Frederick Horner former mem Der of the house of commons and a news paper man named Lambeth were commit ted for trial in the Old Bailey court on the charge of having forged telegrams sent to the Daily Mail.
 The ,telegrams were dispatched from Falmouth and were signed with the name of the Mails regular correspondent there. They recited a sensational story of an a- legged hostile demonstration against David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exche- quer. The latter publicly impugned the accuracy of the report and. inquiry is al- legged to have established that the story had been sent by Horner, who previously had instituted an unsuccessful libsl suit against the Mail. Pending trial Horner was released under bail of $25oO.
