Newcastle, Colo. Dec. 17.-Twenty'
terday's explosion had been removed
from the workings of the Vulcan mine
cf the Rocky Mountain Fuel company
early today. Three more bodies had
been located in the rooms of the west
entry. After rest of one hour
wearied rescuers started into the mine
with pick and shovel to release the
corpses imprisoned by broken timbers
stone and coal.
With the coming of day Newcastle
relieved of the tense excitement OF
yesterday, was Just beginning to real
ize the full meaning of the catastro'
phe. Women and children thronged
the morgue for final glimpse of hus-
band, brother or father. Tentative
plans were made today for general
funeral at which the victims of yester-
DAYS disaster would be buried in the
same cemetery where relatives Of vic
tins of the explosion in 1896 still go
to mourn for loved ones.
T.. f. Shumway general manager OF
the Rocky Mountain Fuel company,
and State Mine Inspector Dalrymple
arrived here today. Dalrymple imme-
diately entered the mine on a trip Of
inspection.
The thirteth body was taken from
the mine at II o'clock. Parties of res
cuers are at work in both entries, re-
moving the masses of dislodged coal
and rock.
Coroner Hopkins, of Glenwood
Springs. announced that he would ar
range for an inquest as soon as the
last body had been recovered
Arrangements are being made to
care for the widows and children of
the mine victims.
The state mine inspector spent four
hours in the mine. Upon his return
he said that he would have no state
ment to make until later. Thirty-one
bodies had been brought out up to 2
o'clock.

He contended that the principal pur
pose OF the meeting was to reduce
southern representation in Republican
national conventions and that he did
believe that the eapportiOnment
scheme as proposed would remedy the
difficulty.
The elimination of only 90 delegates
from all the southern states. Mr..
Howell asserted would never in his
opinion. be satisfactory 10 the Repub-
licans of the country.
Mr. Howell suggested as an alter
native a plan of the Republican con
gressional committee, providing four
delegates at large for each state and
one delegate in addition for each TO-
600 votes or major fraction thereof
cast for the Republican candidate in
1908. That plan would reduce the
total number of delegates in the CON
yention of 945. The south, which had
272 delegates in the convention of
1912, would have only 1l9 if that plan
We're adopted.
William Barnes, Jr., of New York.
proposed as Il substitute for the
Howell amendment that the report OF
the special committee be adopted
with a provision that no congressional
district should get the benefit of an
additional delegate unless that district
had cast at least 1900 Republican
votes for presidential electors, or in
1914 for candidates for congress. He
said that it would be fundamental
mistake to adopt any scheme of re-
apportonment which would eleminate
the congressional district as a unit.
The proposal of Mr.. Howell, he said,
would absolutely shut out twelve
states from the congressional district
delegate plan
Mr.. Barnes substitute proposal he
said, would reduce the southern repre-
sentation by II votes in the conven
tion, and the northern states by eight,
An agreement on plan is looked
for tonight. National Committeeman
Howell of Nebraska led the fight for
radical rec ,tion of southern repre-
sentation. National Committeeman
Remmel of Arkansas, violently op-
posed such plan. He said that the
history of Republican conventions
showed conclusively that the southern
contingent always had followed the
lead of a northern majority in support
of presidential candidates.
Are you going to kick us out and
make the Republican party a section
al party?" he asked, shaking his fist
at Mr. Howell. "Treat us fairly En-
courage us as we deserve to be en-
couraged and don't try to throttle us

SCHMIDT WAS
BOOB" SAYS
SCHOOLMATE

New York, Dec. 17.--Hans Schmidt
slayer of Anna Aumuller today mott
fed counsel conducting the defense
in his trial formally, that he was un
der divine inspiration" to take the
witness stand and tell his story In his
own way The inspiration had not ex
tended to his lawyers at noon and
they were still undecided whether to
call him.
Mrs Elizabeth Schadler, Schmidts s
favorite sister, who came here from
Germany with her father to testify
that Schmidt had been insane for
years, was cross-examined at the re.
sumption of the trial today. Her
story will probably be unchanged by
the district attorneys questioning.
| There were introduced depositions
of Carl Schmidt, brother of the ac-
cused and of Katherine Schmidt, a
cousin. Both reside in Germany, and
both testified as to Schmidt's marked
eccentricities as indicating an unsound
mind. Dispositions from other Ger
man witnesses We're to the same eff.
feet
The Rev. Johannes Siebacher, who
was associated with Schmidt in a
seminary in Mainz. told of the priests
pecularities and said he had come to
the conclusion that Schmidt was not
mentally responsible.
81 told him the priesthood was not
his calling and said he was a boob
said the deposition.
DIR. Ludwig Benzig, presiding officer
of the ecclesiastical court at Mainz
that investigated charges against
Schmidt, deposed that the court found
Schmidt morally responsible, but did
not pass on his mental state. 1t de-
prived him, however, from further ex-
ercising his functions as priest.
At the request of counsel for the
defense, the court adjourned early un-
til tomorrow.

UNIONS PLAN
FINE PROGRAM
FOR COLORADO

I Denver. Colo, Dec. 17.--Reports o
| the committees on resolutions ant
policy were matters of absorbing in
terest at today's session of the special
convention of the union labor dele
gates. The open discussion of yester
day served to outline quite clearly the
views of individuals and the local
unions they represent on the question
of state wide strike in sympathy
with the members of the United Mine
! Workers of America on strike in the
Colorado coal fields.
Early today it seemed practically
| certain that the convention would not
issue a formal call for such a strike
! but would confine itself to the ap
pointment of committee empowered
| to call a state wide strike Of all
unions represented if it finds condi-
tions warrant
/ 1t was explained by labor leaders
that this condition has not power to
enforce such strike and should one
be called under the plan outlined it
would rest with the various unions,
through their national officers to
make the strike effective.
Yesterdays discussion, it was said,
clearly outlined the position of the
delegates on the chief questions under
consideration by the resolutions COM
mittee and furnished reasonable

dations. These include resolutions
for the recall of Governor Ammons,
the removal of General John Chase as
commander of the militia, the recall of
Jefferson Farr sheriff Of Huerfano
county; constitutional amendment
for the state operation Of coal mines;
compulsory arbitration of labor dis
putes, speedy recall of the militia
from the coal fields, urging Colorado's
delegates in congress to support the
resolution by Congressman Edward
Keating for congressional investiga-
ton of the Colorado coal situation.
Just before the noon adjournment a
suggestion was made to have the 800
delegates march to the state capitol
in body, to demand of Governor Am
mons the recall of the militia and the
dismissal of Adjutant General Chase.
The suggestion came at the close of
speech by Mother Jones, in which
She. demanded the release of the
military prisoners held in the strike
zone. Many delegates had already
left the hall for the march on the state
house when William B. Green, secre-
tary and treasurer of the United Mine
Workers, took the floor and counseled
moderation. He urged the delegates
to make their demands upon the gov.
ernor in an orderly manner, in the
form of resolutions.
Secretary Green in his address to
the convention today discouraged the
plan of calling a general strike. declar-
ing that labor unions should always
live up to their contracts with EN-
plovers.
It was expected that action on reso-
lutions would be reached late today.

Only Hearsay.

New York, n. Y, Dec. 17.--Otticers
of the Panama Railroad company said
today that they knew only by hear
say of the charges against John

"Mr. Burke's accounts were approv'
ed by Colonel Eugene l.. Wilson, head
of the subsistence department of the
isthmian canal commission" said Syl
vester Deming. treasurer of the road
"In due course Of routine, we receiv-
ed the accounts here for auditing, but
had not other relations with Mr.
Burke. I do not think, however, that
his expenditures have been as much
as $6,0O0,000
Some time ago we heard in a
roundabout way that charges had been
made against Mr.. Burke. We heard
nothing further of them.'
Burke is about 45 years old and was
formerly resident of Indianapolis.
indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 17.-John
Burke, whose work in the commissary
department of the Panama canal, is
being investigated, was found here
this afternoon and denied that he ever
received money from any source,
other than his salary, while connected
with the commissary department. Mr..
Burke came to Indianapolis two weeks
ago on his vaction
"There is not word of truth in any
charge that have profited financially
'on the side in connection with my
work in the canal zone" said Mr..
Burke. Complaint against me arose
last September on account of informa-
ton given out by disgruntled EN-
ploye. The complaint was that the de-
partment had made purchases abroad.
never made answer to the complaint
for it was the policy Of the depart
ment to purchase supplies wherever
they could be had the cheapest.

money out of my position is news to
me. 1t would be impossible, as ] am
