MAKES
 |. MARYLAND FRIENDS
Cordial Reception Received Greatly Encourages Ad-
 mirers in Washington
BY WALTER HARPER

Washin gton, March 6.--(Speeial. D-- Tine cordial reception accorded Oscar Underwood at Annapolis last night where he was entertained by legislators and others of Maryland has greatly encouraged his friends in Washington. The occasion Is looked upon as one of the most important events of the cam ralgn that is being conducted in a quiet way for the Alabama leader
 The development of strong Under wood sentiment among those who met him last night is unmistakable. Most of those who met Mir Underwood had never seen him before and expressions of approval were heard on every side His even, courteous and affable bearing wins approval on all occasions and were of special remark among the people who saw him for the first time last night.
 The tributes paid him by his asso- ciates in Congress had most pro- nounced effect on the hearers. The speech of Congressman Redfield, de- livered at the banquet after midnight was especially impressive. Mir. Redfield Is a man of comma nding appearance and evident ability He is large man . ufacturer, man of large affairs. He pronounced the leadership Of oscar Un- derwood the most masterful that has developed in any parry since the war. Such testimonial from a man who has worked side by side with Mir Under wood and who admits he is being led by MT. Underwood most willingly could not fail to have its effect upon the people present.
 It is believed that t1e sentiment de- |veloped among Maryland leaders last night will result in strong and effec- !! tive movement for the Endorsement of l Mir. Underwood by the Maryland demo- cIats.

Outlook Encourag ging

"The outlook is very encouraging said Felts tonight. Claude Allen is probably hundreds of miles away by this time as he had been preparing anyhow to go west within 30 days.

Six Bodies Have Been Recovered and Thirty-three More Located. All Hope Abandoned for
 Those in the Mine
Fans Not Disabled

When the explosion occurred probably only the Il men working at the foot of the shaft had chance for their lives. They readily made their way up the cagef, which were not damaged Though some of the blades of the fans we're shattered, they continued to operate with the fortu- nate result that enough air was present to admit searching parties immediately
 Less than half an hour after the news of the explosion had been communicated to this place efforts were made to hurry relief to the scene. Oxygen helmets and other appliances were rushed from the plant of the United States Coal and Coke company, United States Steel corpor ation mine nearby, government mine rescue car enroute to Huntington, w. Va, was turned back on telegraphic orders from Washington, and another car was started from Pittsburg
 The first car reached here shortly after noon. The experts immediately conceded that all in the mine were dead.

Prices Too High

Prices paid by consumers in the United States are higher than abroad even when prices received by manufac- turers in both places are the same. This is said to be due to the higher cost of distribution here. Plain clothes are as cheap here as anywhere, but on fancy fabrics the duties are in excess of the differences in cost, and in many cases the duties are greater than the conversion costs in the mills of the United States.
 President Taft asks a deficiency ap- propriatlon of s60,0OO for the board to continue it's work during April, May and June. and urges Congress to fur ther continue the life of the board that it may prosecute investigations of the metal, leather, chemical and sugar schedules which the President has dirpctad

Claim Victor Allen Innocent


 The defending attorneys declared that Victor Alien. indicted for murder and in jail with his father, Floyd Alien at Ro-
 anolxe. did not participate in the tragedy. One of the prosecuting attorneys went so far as to admit that when the grand jury examines witnesses tomorrow to draw and more complete indictments, Victor Allen may not be reindicted. None of the witnesses thus far is said to have uttered a word duplicating him, and it is probable that he will be released from the Roanoke jail tomorrow night.

The state department of mines was noti- fled tonight by the district mine inspec- tors who are here that no effort to ascer- tain the initial point of the explosion or the cause would be made before all of the bodies have been recovered.
 The Jed minv ordinarily is worked by l25 men oil the day shift The fact that the mine was not worked regularly accoanted for only 93 men being in the mine at the time of the explosion, the other 32 not having put in an appearance for work this morning.

Court Moves Smoothly

The court moved with smooth precision. On the bench where Judge Massie had for years set forth the law, until a shower of lead riddled his body, was Acting Judge Walter Staples Beside him were two other new officials, Sheriff George M. Edwards and Prosecuting Attorney Floyd Landreth. Of the old court officials there remained only Clerk Dexter Goad, who has a gash in his left cheek torn by a bullet.
 Civil proceedings begun by families of the victims, endeavoring to recover dam ages by attachments on the property of the outlaws occupied the attention of the court. Attorneys for the families of the outlaws protested against drastic meas ures of the law, in practically rendering those families destitute As the attorneys for the defendants had failed 10 serve no- tice on the plaintiffs of their intention to attack the attachments the subject will be argued again in Roanoke on Saturday.

The Humorous Side

While pathos everywhere marked the days events in court, the humorous side bobbed up in the form of a letter which was received by Detective Felts, post marked New York. It read
 Dear MT. Felts--I will add 5000 to the reward offered for the capture of Sidnu Allen and band of outlaws. 1 am making this offer through pure justice. For the capture of Sdna Allen alone ] will give $500. dead or alive. I am not offering this money myself as many of my friends have helped me to gather it. Wishing you good luck.

Some Examples Given


 Some examples are given. "lnt l3lS a quilt sold at the mill for 621A cents, was sold to the consumer at $l," says the report, and in 1910 the mill increased the price to 75 cents and the price to the consumer went up 10 $l 50 ''
 The board argues that In some ca ses a reduction in the mill price might have no reduction for the consumer. study ol comparative statistics seems to show that the English consumer buys cheaper be- cause there is less profit between the mills and the retailer.
 In determining costs the board did not take into consideration the item of inter- est upon investments, but the cost figures do allow for depreciation.
 The message was greeted with republic an applause.
 "I rejoice" said Democratic Leader Underwood. smlingy. that al last ~e may enjoy the spectacle of our republic an friends appauding a republican Pres idents S message advocating reduction iii the duties they themselves increased. MT. Underwood then obtained permis- sion to have printed 5000 copies of the message. and the evidence taken by the tariff board

Begin Rescue Work

State mine inspectors promptly organ ized rescue parties and began the explora- tion of levels. As the gases were cleared out and they began searching lower levers they immediately began to come upon miners, killed almost instantly. Other mines nearby sent experienced foremen to lead hundreds of volunteer rescuers, who flocked to the scene as the news spread about the countryside.
 The usual scenes of horror and grief which attend mine disasters were lack ing here today. No families of the miners crowded about the mouth of the shaft. Women have kept within their homes, overeome with grief and distraction.
 The mine was inspected last Friday and announced safe Preliminary investIga- tions today have not divulged the cause of the explosion. Some local mine men are inclined to regard fl as a physical phenomenon. Barometers in this vicinity have been showing unusually low readings last week without the usual atmospheric changes.
 The families of the dead men find them selves in sore straits. Work has been very slack at the mine Outside aid will be asked.

Summary of Report

The Presidents message is eompre- hensive summary of the boards find ings. As in his ideas on the wool and paper schedules the board makes It's own review of complex matters. The President says he bases his own de- Iductions on the declarations of the platform upon which he was elected that is, "a reasonable protective tariff should be adjusted to the measure ment in the cost of production at home and abroad.
 The report of the board shows the difficulty of stating. in general terms differences in costs of production for a great variety of cotton manufactures, the President writes. The differences vary widely according to the nature of the particular fabric.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-27
Next Step Doubtful

What will follow the adoption of the bill 1t is impossible to predict. There is a general belief that the coal owners will announce their readiness to reopen the proceedings and will loyally accept the declsion of the district boards. Whether there will be any general resumption of work by the miners is exceedingly doubt full Their leaders strongly resent the at titude of tie government and will en- deavor to persuade the miners to prolong the struggle. They argue that the min CTS hold strong position, as during the coming week the pinch of inconvenience and discomfort to the general public will be worse than ever.

Raw Materials Cost Same

In the cost of raw material the board reports there is practically no advantage possessed by the country. Comparing all of the yarns selected by the board as samples. the English labor cost was found to be on an average of practical ly seven -eighfhs of the American in two mills selected Ii was not possible for the board, with the time and money al it's disposal. to investigate each of the items of the cotton schedule. and it's work was confined to yarns, threads, textile fabrics and such specialties as tapestries, plush hosiery, table damask and similar articles. Figures are presented to show that although labor costs in the cotton industry are in many cases lower in the tinited States than in England, yet the actual hourly earnings in this country ars in most of the principal occupations much greater. The conclusion is that on many plain fabrics the cost of produc- ton In this country Is not greater.
 The report gives some figures showing the differences in cost of cotton fabric at the mill and the cost to the consumer. Cloth sold at the mill at or cents per yard reaches the consumer at b cents.
