Clary, who is son Of a prominent
mine operator, was found in seepage

hair was covered with mud but the
pallor of his countenance showed
through and although weak will re-

The work Of rescue was fastened
by freshly caving ground, the lives
OF hundreds of spectators who
thronged about the shaft being endan-
gered as the earth slowly settled.
After the crack began to widen ropes
were no longer required to keep the
spectators back. But relatives of the
entombed miner did not waver. A
sister Of Clary, Mrs.s w. H. Brook
shire, stood within foot of the open
shaft, and entreaties failed to move
her despite the danger.
It had been Intended to leave Clary
at the bottom Of the shaft for full
hour after removing him from the
drift in order that he might get accus-
toned to the fresher air before being
hoisted to the surface, but the posi-
bility Of the entire party being buried
alive and the frenzied pleadings of
the father, who begged the rescuers to
hurry, fastened the work and Clary.

him from sun blindness, was lifted to

MOROCCAN CRISIS NEAR END.
Hritons Believe Germany, Having

pairing to Withdraw.

London.-The Moroccan crisis 10
practically ended. At least this Is the
opinion Of the English public. al.
though the foreign office is careful to
point out that the negotiations are not
simple and may drag on for months.
Germany. according to the English
view, has made bluff, which is being
promptly called, and she is now pre-
pairing to withdraw.
In discussing tho crisis, however.
even serious-minded Britishers are in
variably of the opinion that 1t would
be far better for England If war with
Germany should come now than later.
as seems probable. when the German
navy will have been strengthened.
They also feel England would bet
ter come to blows with Germany over
Morocco, or some question In which
France is directly interested. than on
a question in which England and Ger
many only are concerned. In the for
mer case England would be assured
of the assistance of France. while in,
the latter France might without dis
honor offer sympathy. but stand aside
when 1t came to fight.

MARcUsE, CALIFORNIA, "a
LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING.

Marcuse Colony, located in Suffer
County, which is in the heart of the
Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to
the front as q farming community in
which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil Is dark, sandy loan,
sedimentary in character, level and
we'll drained. It has the advantage
over other soils in that 1t is loose in
character and superior to heavy soils.
: With this wealth of soil, abundance
of water, unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony Is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means, the worn out pro-
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for a small farm in healthful
climate.
The proximity Of Marcuse Colony to
Sacramento. furnishes ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits. vegetables,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall 10
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced, but
crop failures in other sections of the
United States will bring new settlers
in rapidly. This, together with the
holding of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco during 1915,
is bound to raise the price. and wheth-
er for home, or for an Investment,
now is the time to purchase. Land
may be had in tracts suitable to the
means of all and tho results obtained
are almost beyond belief. Further In
formation will be gladly furnished BY

UNDERWOOD, HOUSE LEADER,
REPLIES TO NE8RAskAN's
CHARGE IN TARIFF ROW.
DENIES SPLIT. WITH SPEAKER
Supports His Own Position and Ex-
plains Delay in Revision OF Iron
and Steel Schedules by
Committee.

Misunderstanding upon chairs,
waving handkerchiefs and yelling at
the tops of their voices, Democratic
representatives acclaimed Represent
alive Oscar w. Underwood OF Ala
bama Democratic leader of the house,
when he fred verbal broadside at
William Jennings Bryan for criticizing
his position on extension Of the tarih
revision program. 1t was the most
remarkable scene in the house since
the beginning Of the extra session OF
congress.
Excoriating the three times candi.
date Of the Democratic party for pres
idential honcrs, Leader Underwood de-
nounced Mr.. Bryan's statements as
false, defended his (Underwood's) at
titude as to revision Of the iron ana
steel tariff schedules, and said Bryan
has placed upon every Democratic
member implications unfounded in
fact.
He called on his colleagues of the
ways and means committee for cor
roboration Of his attitude.
Mr.. Underwood was backed up in a
similarly striking speech by Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
long a devoted friend of Bryan. Mr..
Kitchin expressed surprise that any
Democrat should so malign Mr.. Under
wood and the party. and through all
this arraignment not a voice was
raised in defense of Bryan.
It all came about from q published
interview, which purported to be eau.
thorized" by Mr. Bryan, declaring 1t
was time Democratic Leader INDEX
wood was "unmasked.''
"The action of Chairman Under
wood in opposing an Immediate effort
to reduce the iron and steel schedule
reveals the real Underwood" said
the Bryan interview. Speaker Clark
and other tariff reformers tried to
secure the passage OF resolution
instructing the ways and means COM
mittee to take up other schedules, in
Guiding the iron and steel schedule,
but Underwood and Fitzgerald, the
Fitzgerald who saved Cannon In the
last congress, succeeded in defeating
the resolution"
'The unmasking of Chairman I'm.
derwood will serve useful purpose,
added the interview. "if it arouses
the Democrats to an understanding OF
the mistake made in putting Mr.. Un.
derwood at the head Of the commit
tee, if he solidifies his policy of de.
lay"
AS the clerk finished reading the
Bryan interview, Mr.. Underwood. in
calm and even tones opened the
walls of his wrath. He declared that
because of his investments of the
iron and steel mills in his own state,
Alabama, he had urged the ways and
means committee at the beginning OF
the session to save him embarrass.
ment by taking up tie iron and steel
schedule at once. This had not been
done by the committee, he said, be
cause 1t had determined that the tex
tile schedules should be revised first
to satisfy public clamoe.

PASS FARMERS BILL
FREE LIST MEASURE. IN MODIFIED
FORM IS ADOPTED BY
SENATE.
BIPARTISAN ALLIANCE WINS
Democrats and Insurgents Again Make
Common Cause and Send Act Re-
moving Duty on Many Articles to
President for Action.

Washington.-By vote Of 48 to 30
the senate by a coalition Of Demo
Gratis and Republican insurgents Of
that body passed compromise farm
ers' free list bill, which removed the
tariff from large category of agri-
cultural implements and farm operat-
ing materials when imported from
Canada.
The original house bill first was de-
reated and then reoffered in modified
form by Senator Kern Of Indiana.
I AS amended and finally adopted the
bin differed but little from the orig
inal. The principal articles placed on
the nee list are: Agricultural imple-
ments, cotton bagging. cotton ties.
leather. boots and shoes, fence wire,
meats, cereals, flour, bread, timber.
lumber, sewing machines. salt.
The Kern compromise takes fresh
meat products out of the free-list bill,
except such as come from countries
that admit certain American farm
products free.
The senate earlier defeated Senator
Bailey's amendment taking all meats
out OF the free list The Kern amend
ment represented the attempt to re-
.concile the Democrats interests with
the insurgent Republicans who be-
lieved some further concessions should
be obtained for agricultural products
The senate began its final struggle
on the bill with the defeat OF amend
ments offered by Senator Gronna OF
North Dakota to put cement. lime
coal and coke on the free list and
to exempt boots and shoes from Its
provisions. :.
Senator 0ronna secured roll call
on the amendment for free coal and
coke. but was beaten, 81 to 80. Party
lines split on the free coal PROPOSE
ton.
Senator Bailey's amendment to ex'
empt beef and beef products from the
free list received the support OF -
Republicans. but was opposed by the
Democrats except Bailey. It was
beaten on roll call. SO to IA.

LoRlMER PRoBERs WILL, TAKE A
SIX WEEKS RECESS.
Many More Witnesses Are Still to Be
Heard-Next Session at
Chicago. Wi

Washington.-The Lorimer investi-
cation committee of the senate will
continue its public hearings in Wash
ington for another week or ten days
and then take a six weeks recess.
Attorneys for the committee would
like to adjourn at the end Of the pres
ent week, but the chances are the
hearings will run on until some time
next week. Indications are that the
committee will take its recess few
days before the adjournment Of con-
gress, assuming that the latter event
will take place about August Is. The
committee will convene again in Chi
cago about October 1.
Scores of witnesses remain to be
heard and in all likelihood the hear
ings in the fall will last for several
weeks. Practically every person
whose name has been mentioned dur
ing the inquiry will be subp5enaed.
Members of the committee are deter
mined to make thorough job of the
Investigation and do not intend to
give anybody an opportunity to criti-
else them for failing to do this or that.
The committee has not abandoned
its plan to summon the larger part
of the membership of the 1909 Illinois
legislature. If this is done the hear
ings may not have been completed
when congress convenes in December.
The senate will not be able to pass
on the committees report much be-
fore January.
Among the witnesses to be called
this week is James H. Harper of Du-
luth.
Former Representative Charles A.
White will follow Mr.. Harper and
probably will be kept on the stand
for three days or more. He will re-
peat the story Of having received
$1,000 for his Lorimer vote and an adj
ditional $500 as his share OF the "jack-
pot"
Representative Robert E. Wilson,
who was named by Mr.. White as the
distributor of the Jackpot money. will
be examined Immediately after White
