not and would not make the trip. He
said that ever since he had been mar
ried he and Mrs. Marshall had always
made their trips together and ha
travelled together. They had never
been separated, he said. and he did
not see any reason why he should now
break this domestic rule to go to Bos-

The Chicago man promised that he
would see about it when he went back
to the Windy City. and that probably
arrangements would be made for the
Governors wives to accompany them
on the trip. If this is done Governor
and Mrs. Marshall may go.

Indianapolis. Ind, April 6.-More in

port that Jacob NJ. Bauer. of Lawrence
burg. was under consideration by
President Taft for the appointment as
United States marshal for Indiana
Bauer is the Fourth district member of
the Republican state committee, and
this is the FIRST time his name has been
connected with this appointment in
public, although the rumor that he
might get the place has been going
around for several days. A man who is
In position to know what he is talk :

that number of letters and other
messages have gone to President Taft
from prominent Indiana republicans
Endorsing Bauer for the position, and
this man added that the announcement
OF Bauer's appointment mightbe look
ed for any day.
Most of the politicians here, how
ever doubt the truth of the report for
several reasons. They all say that
Bauer is a thoroughly competent man
for the place and that when viewed in
the light of meritorious appointment
his selection would be a good one. ye'
they are saying that from political
standpoint II might not be a wise
selection, because Bauer has all along
been identified with the Beveridge fac

 Az soon as the accident became known Superintendent Robert Grant ordered a rescue corps of the miners off duty and these attempted to enter the mine. The rescue party had not advanced far into the workings before they discovered 1t would take several days to dig through the heaps of roof coal and slate that had been loosened by the explosion. It then was decided to effect an entrance nearer the probable point of the explosion by cut ting through the wall of an adjoining mine owned by the same company Late this afternoon the rescuers had penetrated to the No. 20 mine at a. point about 40o0 feet from the outside entry. There still re- mained about the same distance to go be- fore reaching the buried miners.
 In striking contrast to the usual mine explosions the victims In this case, with one exception, are Americans
 The mine usually employs 200 men on the day shift and about the same number at night. A temporary suspension of work, however, required fewer men in the mines. men In the mines.

Washington, April 24.-(Speclal. )-Do- termined efforts to make the Philippines and their independence a party measure at this session of Congress are being made by number of democrats headed by Representative Cox of Ohio. At the next democratic caucus, which will be held within several weeks, Representative Cox will move this resolution calling up- on the war department for a statement to show what the Philippine Islands have cost the United States since the Spanish American war. The resolution Is in line with the economy Investigating pro gramme already decided upon and it is the general impression that the caucus will enlarge the list of matters to bs pushed at this session so as to take up the Filipino question.

Experts have esti- mated the collection to be worth more than a million dollars. and wealthy amateurs and dealers from Europe have come to vie with the American col lectors In the bidding.

 The highest price previously paid for the Gutenbeurg Bible was s20,000 at which Bernard Quaritch purchased it in England IA years ago.
 At a private sale he disposed of it shortly afterward to MT. Hoe at profit of $2500 and 1t has remained In the Hoe collection ever since. me copy was printed some time between 1450 and 1z55.

From there 1t jumped by thousands at clip to $45,O00. D nf Dhilndaf- phia, who had been the most determined of the runners-up, dropped out of the race and the even $50.0O0 was bid by MT. Huntington. The winner is a son of the late Colls P. Huntington.
 Total sales for the day and night ses- sions were $134,S66 for 379 numbers. Next to the Gutenberg Bible. the book of St. Abans, compiled by Juliana Berners and published by Caxton in 14Ss, brought the highest price-$12, ,0O0-also bought by MT. Huntington. It Is the third book ever set in type by English printers.

 Madero and Peace Negotiations Proceed
22 MINERS ARE BURIED ALIVE
 IN WEST VIRGINIA COAL MINE

After penetrating about a mile down the main entry the rescuers tonight found the body of a man, not yet identi- fled.
 It had been crushed beneath a fall of slate as though the roof had crum- bled out of the mine. The discovery of this body disheartened the rescuers who are positive none of the others can be alive.
 Several yards beyond the passa ge was completely blocked by the col- lapsed roof. Behind and under this fall, 1t is believed, the bodies of the miners lie. Gas is heavy In the main entry and in the workings not totally blocked by coal and slate and rescuers have to work In hort shuts.
 Havoc which was wrought in the mine would indicate that the explo- sion was terrific. ror a square mile or more the slate and coal was split and props were splintered, letting the roof fall in large portions.

HOUSE DEBATES
 MILEAGE PROBLEM Hard Working House and Unorganized Senate a
 Peculiar Congress

Washington, April 24.-An attempt to cut
 down the amount of mileage paid to mem bers of Congress for their expenses in going to and from Washington and con troversy over the extent to which demo- cratic economy should affect the clerk ships to committees brought about a long
 debate in the House today and resulted in the defeat of a provision for nine clerks to committees entailing an expenditure of $6 per day each.
 The provision for the clerks was brought in with minor appropriation bill by Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria- tons committee Republicans charged the
 democrats with not having thoroughly systematized their affairs and with trying
 now to add some of the clerks that had my experts pruned down the House pay l roll.
 Democratis leaders asserted the clerks
 were usually assigned to the important committees of the House. Mir Fitzgerald finally urged that the provision of his bll relating to the clerks be voted out. Rep
 resentative Cox of Indiana proposed to cut the mileage allowance for congress
 men from 10 cents to cents mile. but
 his plan met with no warmth of welcome | and was ruled out of order. Representa- tive Garrett of Tennessee urged MT. Cox | rot to make the motion now, when we all need the money" but to make it at | the next session.
 | The House passed bills to correct errors in previous appropriation meas
 ures; to pay s2O100O in mileage to | members of the House and Senate, and
 to provide for pages. extra employees
 and stationary and printing of speeches | for the individual members.
 Congress today found itself in pe- culiar situation. The House Is con graduating itself on having passed ex- rpeditiously the campaign publicity, the direct election of senators and the Can -adian reciprocity bill; but the Senate thus far practically Is unorganized, it's committees not having been named. Be-
 cause of this the upper branch of Con-
 gress was unprepared to go ahead with | the programme. . The situation may be remedied to-
 morrow when Chairman Gallinger of the committee on committees will bring in list of the republican mem-
 bers It remains to be seen whether this list will satisfy the progressive"
 republicans and permit of immediate action. Having caught up with it's work, the
 House programme today dealt with emergency bills, with a report late in the afternoon on the free list measure by Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee. week or more of debate on the measure Is antici-
 pated, though it's ultimate passage is not doubted.
