HUNGER MARCHES ARE
FEARED IN BRITAIN
INDUSTRIAL SITUATION HAS
REACHED A HIGHLY CRITIC.
AL STAGE

London, March 21.-The gravity OF
Great Britain's labor war, which Ar
thur ]. Balfour, the unionist states
man, characterized as passing in mag
nitude anything that this country had
heretofore experienced, was reflected
in the tense atmosphere of the house
of commons today when the minimum
wage bill came up for second reading.
The house had not been so crowded
for years. Every gallery was packed.
Premier Asquith formally moved
the second reading Of the bill and then
yielded the floor to Mr.. Balfour, who
moved its rejection.
"The country said Mr.. Balfour,
has never before. been faced with a
crisis such as this We are witness
ing the new. stre&ge and portentious
spectacle of single organization, act
ing within its legal powers, threaten
ening to paralyze the whole trade of
the country"
Mr.. Balfour said he recognized the
earnestness of Premier Asquith's ef-
forts, but continued;
There never has been graver
case of the government deceiving it.
self and deceiving the house of com
mons"
It is thought that unless something
is done quickly to bring the crisis to
an end hunger marches" such as
that which took place last night in
the fishing town of Grimsby, when
300 starving men marched to the town
hall and begged for relief, will be
come common sight all over the
country.
In towns of the kingdom people are
awaiting the action of the house oi
commons tonight. Trouble will be
gin, however, when the bill reaches
the committee stage at which period
the members of the labor party will
propose the amendments on whose
adoption they insist.
There is another danger. The union
lists under the leadership of Balfour
have condemned the principle of the
minimum wage bill; the house oi
lords possibly will take the same stand
and refuse to consent to it's passage

Chicago, March 21.-The lnstruc-
tions of the court to the jury in the
packers trial have been prepared and
are ready to be given to the jury at
the close of Special Government Coun-
sci Buffers final argument tomorrow.
"The evidence in this case does not

offense or crime," said Mr.. Borders,
representing the Morris group, today.
"All the government has in this cose
is theory. Tt has no proof, no
facts.
"The evidence shows these defend
ants are in daily competition with
26,O00 packers in this country. There
is no monopoly. The business is of

There has been no injury to the pub

WILL REINTRODUCE
THE old WOOL BILL
DEMOCRATS HOPE TO PASS THE
MEASURE THAT PREsI-
DENT VETOED.

Washington, Marcn 2l.-The demo-
cratic members of the ways and
means committee determined today to
reintroduce in the house the same
wool tariff revision DILL that was in
troduced last summer, which, after
being revised in conference, was We
toed by President Taft.
The committee FIRST considered a
bill that would correspond to the
conference report but finally decided
unanimously to introduce their own
bill, which puts duty of 20 per cent
on raw wool. Chairman Underwood
dropped the bill in the basket as he
entered the house today.
The decision followed an examina-
ton of the tariff boards statistics as
analyzed by Chairman Underwood
and compared with the data in pos
session of the committee.
1t was even decided there should
be no democratic caucuses ON the bill,
which will obviate fight by the free
wool adherents, though when the bill
comes up on the floor they may make
a stand. The bill differs FROM the bill
vetoed by the president principally in
the duty assessed on raw wool. The
house bill carried 20 per cent, but af
ter the conference the house leaders
yielded and the bill as finally passed,
carried a 29 per cent duty on raw
wool.
Minority members of the ways and
means committee are planning to in
troduce a wool bill to conform to the
report of the tariff board.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 21.-There
was no breakup in the senatorial
forces today although general drift
towards two solutions is being no.
ticed. One is a republican caucus by
Sunday night in which A. B. Fall and
w. ]. Mills would win the senator
ships. or a combination of demTcrats
with the Spanish-Aremicans and pro-
gressive republicans to force the eiec-
ton of one Spanish-American republi-
can and one progressive republican, II
not a democrat. Both are being dis
cussed in whispers and republican
caucus may be looked for soon, the
republicans scorning the possibility OF
the other suggestion.
The greatest gains were made today
by L. Bradford Prince, who received
three more votes than yesterday and
Sneaker r. L. Baca, who gained two
votes, while new comers in the field
are II. O. Bursum and Jack Fall, who
received the one vote lost respectively
by A. B. Fall and w. H. Andrews.
William J. Mills regained four OF the
five votes he had lost yesterday.
The four republican contestants for
the seats of two democrats and two
progressive republicans are exerting
pressure to have the contests decided
speedily and this, as well as the out
come of the bribery charges against
four republican members, may have
a decided bearing in forcing a solu-
tion of the deadlock early next week.
Supporters of Governor Mills, since
the ballot of today, are free to assert
their belief that he will win one OF
the coveted togas. The inability OF
other candidates to marshal their
forces beyond the strength displayed
upon the first vote is expected to con-
tinue. This will make caucus neces-
sary and Judge Fall and Former Gov
ernor Mills have sufficient votes to
control. Mills and Fall are looked up
on by many as certain victors. Both
will get many votes when the ballots
being cast for favorite sons are die
tributed among those who have y
chance for election. Each win grow
in strength as the battle proceeds.

REPUBLICANS MAY DECIDE TO
HOLD A CAUCUS IN ORDER TO
CLARITY SENATORIAL TANGLE
ACCUSED MEN ARE
RELEASED ON
BOND

Santa Fe, March 21.-The attorneys
for the bribery defendants, before the
house committee this afternoon will
file their answer, making a general
denial to the charges and setting up
that conspiracy existed to get these
four members of the house to resign
because they refused to vote for GER
tain senatorial aspirant and could not
be taken away from another aspirant
to whom they had pledged their votes.
More witnesses will be heard this af-
ternoon and no sensational de-
velopments are looked for. The de-
PENDANTS are out on $4,000 bond each
and were seen about the capitol today
although not occupying their seats in
the hall of representatives.
The most important action taken by
the house this morning was the passage
of House Bill No. 10, which provides
a fine of not less than $500 or more
than $4,000 or imprisonment of not
less than one year nor more than
five years, or both such fine and i'm
prisonment for persons convicted of
perjury in testimony before legis-
lative investigation committee. This
bill is similar to a bill PASSED by the
senate last night. A measure was
introduced in the senate by HART
and in the house by Burg making it
unlawful to drink intoxicating liquors
on trains and giving the conductors
power to arrest all persons doing so.
In the house this afternoon attor-
neys for the four members of that
body who are charged with accepting
bribes presented their answer to the
charges filed in the house. The an
swer was a general denial of all the
allegations made by the accusers of
the defendants. The legislators say
they made no overtures regarding the
sale of their votes but were approach
ed first by Elfego Baca, in whose
room they were captured after re-
ceiving money on Monday night. They
assert that Mr.. Baca offered them the
money but that they refused to ac
cept it and that the coin was lying
on the table when the officers and
other witnesses entered the apart
ment from the adjoining bath room
The men say their designations were
rung from them against their will
Their hearing is expected to bring
out further details of the alleged
bribery.

WHO KILLED WATcHMAN IN
JEWELRY STORE

St. Louis, March 21.-Daniel Gala
han was arrested today by postofflce
inspectors who say he is wanted for
completely in three diamond robberies
aggregating $12O,OO0, in the robbery
of substation in st. Louis and other
thefts.
Postoffice Inspector Bunsen, who
made the arrest, says Callahan is being
held as the leader of the gang which
stole 100000 worth of diamonds from
Mrs. Maldwin Drummond's state room
on the steamship Amerika in Febru-
ary, 1911, and which bound and gag
ged two men and stole $4,000 worth
of jewels from Edward Albertis store
in Chicago in April, 1911, and killed
a man in getting away
Callahan's capture was the result Of
special chain of circumstances. Bun
sen, who has been looking for Gala
han for the postoffice robbery, was
eating in a restaurant when he no
ticed that an index finger of man
opposite him was missing at the frs
joint He then saw the mans resem-
blanoe to a photograph of Callahan.
With the aid of city detective,
Bunsen arrested Callahan and his
companion, who gave the name Of
Charles F. Miller. Callahan denied
his identity, and, according to the CITY
detectives. tried to bribe Bunsen.
Callahan's name also has been Civ
en- to the federal authorities as the
leader of the gang who entered Spald-
ing and Company's store in Chicago
in February, 1911, and stole $4,000
worth of jewelry. 1t is known that
Callahan was under arrest in London
eight months ago. How he gained his
freedom is not known here. Rewards
for his capture aggregate $4,000
Members of the gang, who were con-
victed for the Albert robbery, are
said to have told the federal authOri-
ties that Callahan was the leader.
When Callahan was shown photo
graph Of himself made at Joliet, Ill,
prison ten years ago, he admitted his
identity. He refused to make any
statement about the Jewelry robber-
les of which he is accused.

NO HOME RULE BILL.

London, March 21.-That the home
rule bill has not been yet drafted is
evident from the fact that the Irish
leaders have been called into consul

ing was secret. 1t later leaked out
that John Redmond and T. P. O'Con-
ner had spent two and one-half hours
in Premier Asquith's official resi-
dence debating with the premier, Au-
gustine Birrell, the Irish secretary,
and other members of the cabinet
over the financial provisions. The
difficulties are understood still to be

ARE RESCUED
MINERS ESCAPE FROM THE GAS
FILLED WORKINGS coNsIp-
Erred MIRACLE.

McCurtain, Okla, March 2l.-Four.
teen more workmen were rescued
from the San Bois mine today This
makes total of 25 miners brought
forth alive from the workings that
were wrecked yesterday by blast.
Fifteen corpses have been recovered.
The number of men at work at the
time of the explosion was between
80 and 116.
Hope that many more of the three
score or more men still entombed in
the Sans Bois mine were alive was
at low ebb this morning when the ex-
ploration of the workings wrecked in
yesterdays explosion was resumed
During the night Is bodies, blackeued
and mutilated almost beyond recogni-
ton, were recovered, and additional
bodies were located. That the death
list will exceed 100, now seems GER
tain.
This morning volunteers came from
nearby mines and the rescue parties
were more systematically organized
under the direction of mining experts
from the government station at Nc
Alester. Before nightfall, it is ex-
pected that practically every recess
in the mine will be penetrated.
The cause of the explosion has not
been definitely determined State
Mine Inspector Boyle Is of the opin-
ion that gas was responsible. There
was but little dust in the mine, he
declared. An inspection of the prop
erty was planned for last Saturday
but was deferred because the mine
was not being worked last week.
Eleven of the IA men rescued today
were able to come out unassisted but
three were carried out by rescuers.
When the explosion occurred the IA
were near the south thirteenth entry.
They made their way 10 the room,
which is only eight sy 10 feet in size,
where they found an air pump, about
the top of which they crowded close
ly, changing positions frequently for
the benefit of some weaker members
of the party. They built a curtain at
the entrance to exclude foul air and
gas. The sound of tapping, conveyed
to the rescue party along the air pipe
led to their discovery.
Up to late this afternoon "a men
have been rescued alive from the
Sans Bois mine, which caved in yes
terday after an explosion. Thirty-nine
unacceptable bodies have been TAX
en-. Estimates place the number still
in the mine at from 20 to SO.
The father of "Shy" Gussio, miner
and prize fighter well known in the
southwest made two coffins last
night for "shy's" two brothers. One
of them was among the rescued alive
today. The father, overioyed, gave
one of the coffins to the burial com
mittee. The other he kept for pos
sible use. "Shy" himself today
brought out unaided two corpses.
