more bodies were recovered and three
died IN the hospitals. The injured
owe their escape from death to the
fact that they were working at points

partly protected from the rush Of foul

AS IT, bodies were brought to the

IDAHO MEMBER PROTESTS WHEN
QUESTIONED AS TO FAC
TIoNAL PRocLIvITY.

Washington, Feb. 3.-No chances
val be taken by the old guard in the
senate in the matter of filing commit
tee vacancies. The committee on COM
mittees met yesterday to select re-
publican for the committee on civil
service and retrenchment, OF which
Mr.. Cummins is chairman. Mr.. Borah
wanted the assignment and Mr.. Cum-
minis desired that he be named, but 1t
was found that La Toilette already is
on the committee and the appoint
ment of Borah. who is considered TO
have insurgent proclivities, would
give that faction a majority OF the
five republicans on the committee.
Mr.. Borah was put through an ex-
animation He declined to state where
he stood on the question of pensions
for superannuated government en-
ployes, and other questions with
which the committee has to deal He
also asserted torcibly that he is not OF
any faction and did not care to be IN
terrogated in such manner.
No good excuse for rejecting Borah
was found and the matter was gotten
around by increasing the republican
membership to seven. The new mem
bers will be Borah, Smoot and Dixon.

SENATE WILL URGE
HIGH PRICE PROBE
FEAR DELAY IN INVESTIGATION
WILL IMPEDE aEPUBLi-
CAN CANDIDATES.
SENATOR LODGE WILL PROBABLY
HEAD SENATE COMMITTEE
OF FIVE.

Washington, Feb. 3-Frankly ad.
hitting the fear that prolonged in
vestigation of the increased cost of
living, by the house ways and means
committee or otherwise, might draw
throughout the summer, and work TO
the disadvantage of the republican
party in the election next fall, the
senate finance committee yesterday
formulated a program for quick, sharp
inquiry. This question was consid-
cred by the republicans of the commit
tee, and Senator Lodge introduced in
the senate a resolution providing for
the appointment of committee of
five senators to do the work.
The problem, it is said. proved so
embarrassing to the republican party
during its long control of congress,
that the majority of the members OF
the finance committee gave consider.
alton to demands from every section
of the country that something be done
to restore normal prices on the neces-
saries of life. Several senators de.
clared that high prices viii be at
tributed to the tariff and unless some;
thing is done to refute this the repub,
lican party will be compelled TO bear
the brunt of the attack.
An examination of the house reso.
luton introduced by Chairman Payne
Tuesday, resulted in characterizing il
"dragnet." 1t was stated that such
an inquiry could not be concluded in
tine to be of any assistance to the
republicans who are campaigning for
reelection
Senator Lodge finally agreed that he
would undertake to conduct a rigid
investigation and report to the pres
ent session of congress If he were
chosen as head of a committee. A
resolution accordingly drafted was in
troduced, providing for a COMMITTEES
of five senators.
The Lodge resolution includes an
investigation of the increased cost oil
necessaries during the last two years
and whether wages have increased
proportionately 1t was referred tc
the finance committee.

COMMITTEE IN ROW
OVER MYERS PLAN

Washington, Feb. "a row is on

fairs over Secretary Myers plan OF
reorganization of the navy depart

to nine on the Myer proposition. A
mixed number of republicans ana
democrats, headed by Chairman Foss,
oppose the secretarys reorganization
scheme.
The committee is wrought up over
reports that Myer intends to discI-

paymaster general, on account ~or
their testimony before the committee
unfavorable to his plan Both were
reluctant to testify, when summoned

Lney enne, wyo., t'eD. S.-Conhdent
that he may have chance at the en-
trance examination, Ollie r. Smith, a
negro lad, named as alternate for the
next Wyoming vacancy at West Point,
is working hard to fit himself for the
severe tests. He is an athlete OF CON
siderable prowess and has no fear OF
fulfilling the physical requirements.
Young Smith was named by Senator
Clarence b. Clark, who appointed a
white youth to the next vacancy.
Should the latter fail in the entrance
examinations-a circumstance which
freuently occurs-the negro will have
a chance. 1t is this chance which
has aroused discussion among military
men. and general regret is expressed
that Senator Clark has made this APP
pointment.
West Point men are certain to os.
tracize negro student, and such stu.
dents have in the past suffered great
embarrassment through being tacitiy
ignored in all the doings of the stu.
dent body.
