what Mr.. Dovell' said were the facts

the state convention that the Taft

of Roosevelt declined to come to the
convention because they knew they

Allen ridiculed Dovell's statements
about the Washington primary and

In the midst of his talk Allen was
challenged to say whether he intend

TAFT NOW URGES
COTTON REVISION
Also Demands That Congress
Keep Tariff Board
Alive

Washington, d. c.. March 26-
Recommendation of downward reVis-
ion of duties on cotton goods and a
demand for further funds for the
tariff board are contained in spec
ial message sent by President Taft
to congress, transmitting the report
of the tariff board on. the cotton
schedule. A portion of the message
is devoted to a vigorous defense of
the tariff board, at the conclusion of
which Taft demands an emergency
appropriation to supply the organi-
zation with 100000 a month to con-
tinue it's work.
The democrats of the house are
practically determined to cut off all
appropriation for the board, so the
message is the opening gun of a fight
for the existence of the board.
The cotton report is voluminous
and detailed discussion of the cot
ton industry condition in the United
States and foreign countries the Ia
Dor factor in the production of cot
ton receiving scant consideration by
the tariff board.
Inc report, Quoleu ny lat, say
the effect of the tariff is to secure
for the American manufacturer ar
American market and prevent COM
petition. 1t says the cost of pro-
duction here is as low as in foreign
countries but the consumer pays g
higher price.
The report of the board blames the
cost of distribution and exhorbitant
percentages swallowed up by the
middle mans transactions of getting
consumer.
President Taft says: "On the basis
of this report, / recommend congress
to proceed with the consideration o
the schedule with the view of re
vision and reduction"

Workers.
ALL ARE BELIEVED DEAD
After Damp Prevents Rescue Party
From Reaching Their Imprisoned
Comrades and Government Res
cucrs are Hurried to Scene.

Welsh, w. Va, March 26.-Eighty-
three miners are entombed in the
mine of the United States Coal and
Coke company at Jed, three miles
from here today as a result Of an ex-
plosion.
Eighty-six men were working in
the mine at the time of the explo-
sion and three escaped.
After damp pervades the workings
and it is feared there is slight chance
of rescuing alive any Of the imprison-
ed workers.
The miners have organized rescue
parties and the United States mine
bureau has been asked to rush aid.
Chief Holmes of the bureau Is eX-
pected to arrive with a force of res
cuers, equipped with oxygen helmets.
The output of the mine goes to the
United States steel corporation.
Two rescue cars have been order
ed rushed to the assistance of the
entombed men by the United States
bureau of mines today.
The Jed mine works day and
night shifts so non-union whites and
blacks are on both shifts.
Heavy smoke and - fumes issued
from the mouth of the mine shortly
after the disaster but soon disap-
peared.
1t is not believed the mine is burn
ing, but probably part of the work
ing is wrecked.
Nearly all of the victims are mar
ried men. They had been in the shaft
less than an hour when the eXplos-
ion occurred.

Miners and Owners Are
Firm as Millions Are
Slowly Starving.
EVERY TOWN EFFECTED
Modern England Never Witnessed
Privation That Would Compare
With Present Condition and Free
Soup Houses are Ovcrrun.

London, March 2G.-With the own
ers refusing to make a single conces-
sion, the life of coal strike directly af-
fecting more than 100000 men and
more than nine million others indi-
rectly, is indefinitely prolonged. Not
a single community in England, Scot
land and Wales but is affected. Gov
ernment officials admit the toll of
human life as well as money is ap-
palling. Millions today are facing
slow starvation.
The mine owners gleefully point to
the fact that the miners resources
are dwindling and contend that star
walton will COMPEL them to yield The
miners admit they have little money
but claim they will hold out two weeks
at least.
At a second conference today of
the mine owners and men, the men
agreed to waive all demands except
the minimum wage of five shillings
for adults and two shillings for mi
ners. The owners refused to treat on
this basis. Their stand angered the
men. who say that no further ad-
vances will be made by them for
settlement. and the owners must take
the first step.
The scenes in cities this the twenty
sixth day of the strike, are particular
ly affecting. Modern England meyer
witnessed such suffering Free soup
kitchens are over crowded and relief
associations are swamped.
Women and children in Sheffield
have been virtually without food for
weeks. Forty thousand are idle in
Glasgow besides the miners
The hopelessness of the situation
was emphasized in the house of COM
mons today. Premier Asquith an
nOunced that the government will not
insert the wage bill figures demand
ed by the miners and great pressure
is being brought on the government
to force 1t TO make this concession.
The final refusal of tire miners to
accept the figures suggested by AS
quith means no compromise and a
fight to the finish.

MILLIONAIRE CROOK
Charged With Highway Rob-
berry and Father Be-
Iieves Charge

Portland, Ore, March 26.-Charles
Wakefield, young son of Robert
Wakefield, millionaire bridge con-
tractor of this city, and who is well
known throughout the Pacific coast
country, was last night arrested by
the authorities here on a charge of
highway robbery.
Young Wakefield was taken into
custody while in company with two
other men, named Jack Johnson and
j. H. Carlton, all of whom resisted
arrest and were only subdued after
much rough handling on the part of
the police.
They are charged with having rob-
bed an aged man named c. C. Har-
vey, after having rendered him sense
less by hitting him on the head. The
police today declare that they found
the watch and purse taken from the
victim, on the persons OF the three
men now held.
When asked today if he would fur
nish bail for his son, the elder Wake
field replied: "No; Jail is good place
for him. Let him stay there"

The reason for this move is found
i'll the fact that his expense appro-

that he wishes to attend the confer

willing to deprive his family of the

to create any deficiency in the travel
appropriation account.

Consequently he will ride. His
suitcase will be two saddle-bags, and
he will probably wear broad SOM

he made, famous during the last cam

This means that more than $41.000.0O
