 ing to Senate Bill.

Washington, Feb. 2-The adminis- tration program. as revised today by the leaders of the senate and house and given the stamp of White House approval. comprises the following:

 All the republican members of the senate committee on finance had a meeting today. Some plain talk was indulGed in by MT.

Washington. D. C.. Feb. 2.-The senate committee on public lands to- day reported a substitute for the two administration bills authorizing the president for conservation purposes to withdraw public lands from entry. The decision to report such measures was reached after several hearings had been held. in which the neces- sity, for the legislation was attacked and defended in spirited eontro- versy.
 United action was impossible today when the question of reporting the bill was taken up. A three-cOrnered fight mas been carried on in the com mittee for some time. The factions were made up of senators who believe the president under the existing law has authority to withdraw lands from public entry: senators who have been in favor of giving him such power, but who have cOntended that the numerous acts Of former President Roosevelt were illegal. and senators who have taken a decided stand against any such authority being con ferred upon the executive.
 The acts of President Roosevelt should he validated beyond question. declared those senators who were in favor of advanced conservation legis lation. but who have questioned the legality of many withdraw walls already made. but they joined with the sup pOrters of the administration bills sent to the committee by Secretary Ballinger and agreed to report a sub stitute.
 This action still left a minority composed of Senators Heyburn and Clark of Wyoming, who insist that the right to withdraw from entry should rest in congress. These. sen ators may present a minority report.
 The measure as reported by Sena- tor Nelson is one of the simplest pieces or legislation ever proposed on the subject of land laws. but it is said it will accomplish all the purposes of the two bills of several sections each. that were sent to the committee from the interior department
 As perfected. the bill is as follows:
 That the president may. at any time. in his discretion, withdraw from set tlement. location. sale or entry. any public lands of the United States and reserve the same for forestry. water power. irrigation. classification or Oth- CT public uses to he specified in the withdrawal and such withdrawals and shall remain in force un- til revoked by him ar by an act of congress. The secretary of the in terior department shall report all such withdrawals hereafter to congress at the beginning of its next regular ses- sion"

SEVENTY FIVE WERE LOST
A Tale of Widows and Or phans-A Mexican Miner Contributes Another to the Swollen List of Hor- TOTS in Three Days.

Primero. Feb. 2.-Monday's explosion in the mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company claimed a total of seventy-five victims, left thirty-five widows and sixty-five fatherless chill dren. These facts were determined late today when an official canvass of the camp was completed and the name of the missing men were checked on the company's payroll
 An exploration of the workings con tinued all day. but it was not until S o'clock tonight that the efforts of the relief parties were successful. when the bodies of the two drivers, unidentified. were found in a cross-cut and brought to the surface. All day the number of bodies recovered remained at forty eight. but the workers succeeded in penetrating to portions of the mine
 While The work underground con tinued nnabated. practically the only activity apparent about the camp to- day was that of men detailed tD assist the coroner iu preparing the bodies for burial. Late today the coroner sent thirty-four bodies to Trinidad by q special train. Tomorrow he will prob ably forward the remaining sixteen. when a general funeral will oe held.
 A semi-official statement obtained of the progress of the work of rescue confirmed practically every detail of the developments as published. The statement showed that at p. m. explor- ing parties had penetrated 5.0O0 feet from the entrance along the main stope Tonight's shift succeeded in re- covering two additional bodies. bring ing the total recovered up to fifty.
 IL was also stated that the greatesa havoc was wrought near entries and 10. These entries. 1000 feet long. are filled with broken timbers and debris.
 As to the recovery of the bodies. the statement says all expectation of re- covering any more has been given up until the entries are cleared. This will require weeks. The cause of the explo- sion cannot be determined until then.
 Coroner Guilfoyle announced tonight that he might begin an investigation tomorrow. The hearings will probably cover several weeks.

THE FOLK THAT LAUGH.

The folk that laugh-God bless them!
They listen all the day.
They bring the cheer Of sunshine
clear
Though the skies be brooding gray.
They lift the load of trouble,
They ease the grip of toll
They leave less room for grumbling
gloom
Our precious hours to spoil.
Theirs are the hearts that echo
Ali gladness they have known;
They know that glee makes company
While guinness stalks alone.
They heal US and they help US,
They bring us song and smile,
When they are gone their laugh rings
Through every dreaming while.
When you or 1 would murmur
At what we call our lot,
They fiout dull care and picture fair
Our benefits forgot,
So do they scatter comfort,
So do they foster joy,
Until the earth breathes gentle
mirth
That grief may not destroy.
What though they have their sorrow.
What though they have their woes
They aim TO get the laughter-debt
The Joyous old world owes.
And so they make a stranger
OF foolish fret and fear,
And make each day a happy way
OF rich content and cheer.
The folk that laugh-God bless them
What ills do they not mend!
From them the rose in beauty CLOVIS
And every man is friend;
For them the skies grow bluer,
For them the stars are bright.
Gloom fees away across the day
And comfort bides at night.
