DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN SENATE
is DIVIDED LIKE REPUBLI-
CANS BETWEEN FACTIONS.

Washington, D. CAS- shown by
the caucus of democratic Senators
last night, a contest has developed
within the democratic ranks, similar
to that among the republicans. Pro-
gressive democrats undertook to pre-
vent the election of a conservative or
%reactionary as their leader. They
particularly objected to the prefer
ment Of Senator Bailey of Tevas, who
has long been looked upon as the
party leader in the Senate. While
Senator Martin, the chosen leader, is
hardly classed as a progressive, the
radical democrats claim q victory in
the caucus. In statements given out
today, Senators Hitchcock and ow-
ems assert that the lineup Of demo-

LEADER IN THE SENATE
Warrington, ID. C.-Sena,or Mar
tin of Virginia at the democratic
caucus, vas late yesterday elected as
the permanent caucus chairman and
minority leader OF the Senate during
the present congress. He received
twenty-one out of the thirty-seven
votes cast, sixteen going to Senator
shively Of Indiana, who was then
elected vice chairman. Senator W.
e. Chiffon OF West Virginia. was
elected secretary Of the caucus, the
two last named places having been
filed by reclamation. Senator Owen
declined a reelection as secretary.
1t was decided that the progress
sives should vote for Senator New
land Of Nevada as Senators Culber-
son Of Texas and Stone OF Missouri,
both declined to become candidates.
The plan was changed in the caucus,
however, when it was learned that
Shively, who was vice-chairman
under the leadership of Senator Mon
ey, during the last congress would
not object to receiving the vote OF
those who would not vote for Mr..
Martin.
Several of the p%rogressives con-
ceded that Mr.. Martin could not be
defeated. Failure to upset his can
didacy was due partly to his having
originally been brought out by the
Bryan following, lead by Senator
Stone, to prevent the election Of eth
er Bailey OF Bacon. Both these sem
ators, generally known as the regu-
lars, were opposed by the progress
sives. 1t seemed for a time that Mr..
Martin would be elected unanimous
ly, but Mr.. Bryan wanted an out and
out progressive named, and frankly
told some of the new democratic SEN
ators that they were throwing away
their opportunities.
REPUBLICANS ANGERED OVER
ALLOTMENT TO COMMITTEES
Washington, D. C.-The first for.

house leaders, including represent
of the insurgent party was
held here late yesterday. 1t follow
ed a refusal of the democrats to give
up any more committee places to the

ton that has heretofore existed be-
tween the two parties in the commit
tee assignments. After the confer
ence, minority leader, Mann, gave
out a statement arranging what he
called "the unfair, arbitrary and
brutal action of the democrats"
For cramping the rights of the
minority" the statement promises a
fight to take advantage OF
parliamentary privileges to make
hot on the floor.
MIR. Mann submitted the situation
to the conference and asked if he
could not refuse to name committees
entirely on the limited basis of rep
re%sentation given by the democrats.
1t was determined to go ahead with
the selection of representative mem
bers. Mr.. Mann says fairness will be

Scranton, Pa.-The deaths in the
Price Pancoast mine at Throop,
reached the number of II at nine
o'clock this morning. OF this num-
Der, sc bodies were removed to the
surface, and five more were taken
from the tunnel at the bottom of the
shaft. Forty-hve of the dead have
been identified, among them Joseph
Evans, in charge of the United Gov
eminent mine rescue EAR. He died
like a hero in this, his first rescue
work, refusing to consider danger
in his attempts to bring forth the i'm
prisoned men through the smoke and
flames of the fire in the mine.
The police constabulary are hav-
ing hard work to keep back the
crowds of women and children
weeping e the fate of their loved
ones.
Among the heroic dead as told by
the story of the tragedy, is John
Gray, rope-cleaner. This mar could
have escaped all danger when the fire
broke out, but he rushed back to
war; the others and was overcome
by the fumes and flames.
Scranton, Pa.-At midnight TWEEN
ty bodies had been taken from the
mine, and arranged in a temporary
morgue in one Of the breaker build
ings. Among them are the bodies of
j. R. Barry, common councilman first
ward, Scranton, Walter Knight, in
side foreman, Isaac Daw, first boss,
Joseph McWater, James Wallace,
Henry Lucas, Michael Call, Joseph
NJ. Evans, John May, Harry Routh-
we'll.
The other bodies are those of for
eigners.
A crowd of about five thousand
gathered cal the mine. The
screams of the women and children
is appalling. They sobbed and cried
during the day, but when the first
body appeared under the light of
torches at the mouth of the mine,
they let loose their pent up feelings
in a torrent and screamed despair
Many of them had to be restrain
ed from doing themselves bodily in
jury, and others tainted.
Scranton, Pa.-One of the most
serious mine disasters which has ev-
er visited this section Of the mining
country occurred today in the little
village of Throop, a short distance
from here when between fifty and
sixty men employed lost their lives.
Evans death was the result of a
defective oxygen charged helmet.
Charles Ensain, the noted expert and
in general charge Of mine rescue
work for the federal government was
also overcome and is said to be in
a critical condition.
None of the bodies recovered were
mutilated, death doubtless having
been caused by inhaling flame and
gases. The rescuers are pushing in
to the mine and it is thought that all
of the bodies will be recovered with
in a few hours.

With the Company.

Aberdeen. S. DIN the person OF
E. j. Vickre of Ellendale, N. D., the
Dakotas appear to possess a u. Ru-
fus Wallingford" of no small degree
of success. Vickre was a solicitor
for the Capital Security company OF
Norfolk, Va, a concern which lends
money to homebuilders.
According to S. r. Dewey of Mo-
bridge. Vickre operated there as fol-
lows: Arriving at Mobridge early in
March, Nlckre began presenting his
proposition, which was that for an
advance payment of Sc for each ST.
90 he would secure an advance Of
money from the Capital Security
company, at any early date. In some
instances a specific date was set
when the loan was TO be forthcom-
ing; in others it was to be merely
in a short time, a few days, or weeks.
This part of the agreement was not
authorized by the company, which
lends money only as fast as it ac-
cumulates, and shareholders may
have to wait months before securing
a loan. 1t is claimed by his alleged
victims that Vickre did not explain
this, but led them to believe the
money could be secured as soon as
the mail could carry the necessary
documents back and forth.
In many instances, 1t is claimed,
Vickre collected an extra fee in order
as he claimed, to hurry the money
along, stating his influence with his
company was so great that he could
induce it to rush the money through,
but required a little extra donation
in order to bring such influence into
play.
Bid Big Business.
At Mobridge the total amount of
loans" written by Vickre is placed
at $4,000. Mr.. Dewey made an ad-
vance payment Of $4S, G. T. Burton
paid over s72, and a Mrs. Jumper,
who asked for a loan IF $4,000 on
her property, paid the SIS advance
charge and then $50 TO. Vickre's Gin.
%fiuence" in getting the loan hurried
along.
Among other towns, Vickre did a
lively business at Columbia, where
he wrote $4,000 worth of loans, and
at Houghton, where his total bust
ness amounted to $4,000.
Vickre's arrest here was affected
on complaint of E. II. Glau of Aber-
deem. When it was learned he was
in custody, people from Mobridge,
Columbia and other points who
claimed he had defrauded them
hurried in to prefer charges against
him. G. w. Riedman of Spokane, a
special agent of the company Wick
re worked for, arrived and is en-
gagged in attempting to straighten up
the in which Vickre has
placed the company, and vickre has
been released under a cash. bond of
$500 to appear for trial. Riedman
states Vickre had no authority to
promise loans at any definite time,
as the company's contract specifies
loans can be made only as fast az
funds accumulate, and are made in
the order that applications are re-
ceived, of course, the taking Of ex-
ira money as %inducement to hasten
the i%ssuances Of the loans was alto
gether unauthorized.
Vickre has a wife and family at
Glendale.
