veloped In this congress was revealed

publican progressives and Democrats,
with amendments comprising com
plete revision OF the metals schedule
and numerous changes In the chenli-

In the house. 1t was predicted that
Chairman Underwood, (Dem., Ala j,
would shortly introduce bill pre-
pared by the ways and means COM
mittee. contemplating revision OF the
metals schedule. At least q week or
debate would ensue, 1t was said Then
conferees of both houses would COM
promise on q bill reducing the sched-
ules mentioned.
Various other elements combine, In
the opinion OF leaders to make the
situation uncertain.
Throughout today conferences were
held among leaders. trying to map out
definite program. A majority Of the
house and senate want to terminate
the session at the earliest possible
date, but In the senate Republican

Prosecutor To Hold No One Responsible

Especial from United Press )

Austin, Pa., Oct. 7.-The inquest ir- to the Bayless Dam disaster has been indefinitely postponed and it seems likely, today, that the whole matter will be dropped by the authorities.
 Prosecutor Nelson has declared that he has no intention of trying to hold the mill company responsible. With no definite results reached by the inquest and with apparently little possibility of criminal prosecution, there seems little chance for the sur vivors to obtain any damages for the loss of their homes.
 Thomas J. Keenan, one of the com pany's officers. has announced that if civil suits are entered, the mill will be removed from the town. This would mean the final extinction ot Austin
