to be- entombed in the Cincinnati mine
CT the Monongahela River ConsoHdat-
ed Coal and Coke company, at Finley
vile, about 27 miles southeast of
here, which was fired by an explosion
yesterday afternoon.
The flames which prevented rescue
work for many hours have been sub
dued sufficiently to permit squads to
go in.
More than three score workmen
made thrilling escapes, crawling most
of the time on their hands and knees
through deadly gas fumes and over
debris. Many were badly burned.
Seventy bodies have been brought
to the entrances and the work of re-
covery continues.
Faint tappings against pipes and de-
bris in the mine are plainly heard
by a frantic crowd of men, women
and children outside the mine.
Two-thirds of the victims are for
eigners.
The bodies were located by rescu-
ing squads of the United States bu-
reau of mines. the Monongahela Riv-
er Consolidated Coal and Coke COM
pany and the Pittsburg Coal company
AS the rescuers found body it was
carried to an entrance. None, how
ever. was brought to the surface.
Preparations are being made to
handle the dead. Box cars have been
ordered to a mine siding. 1t is an
nounced the victims will be taken
from the mine and shipped at once
to Monongahela City to be prepared
for burial.
Rescue work IS hampered by after
damp.
The federal raine rescue car sta
toned at Bruceton, Pa. left there for
Finleyville Immediately on receipt of
news of the disaster.
Conditions in the mine, as far as it
could be penetrated, indicate that
most of the men were not killed by
the explosion. but we're caught by af-
ter-damp.
The bodies were found scattered in
the entrance, where death by asphyxi-
alton overlook the victims. while they
were attempting to reach safety.

BARS NEGROES FROM OFFICE
Only White Men to Be Appointed
South of Mason and Dixon Line
When Changes Are Made.

Washington, D. C.-Democrats are
to replace the present Republican
officeholders in the South.
President Wilson made this clear
to number of patronage hunting del
egations from below the Mason and
Dixon line. But he also emphatically
explained that he will refuse to be
hurried in making his selection and
that party hacks" are to be barred
and only efficiency considered.
"Will all Southern appointments be
white men?" was asked Certainly;
there are no negroes in the Demo
cratic party in the South" the presi
dent replied.

INSURANCE CLAUSE.
Committee Holds 1t Means Participa-
tion in Surplus of Profits.

Washington. Relative to the insur-
ance clause in the tariff bill, the ways
and means committee contends an ex-
haustive investigation of books Of in
surance companies shows that in many
Eases the earnings of companies from
previous investment and holdings are
nearly as large as the amounts which
are annually distributed as dividends,
and that it does not appear that sep
aration of sources of income is made
for the purpose of ascertaining the funds
available for dividends. The committee
holds that policyholder is not prom
ised a refund, but a participating in
the surplus Of profits, and the plea that
the dividend is refund of a portion
of the premium, rather than distribu-
ton of the actual surplus Of the com
pany derived from all sources, is not
consistent. Upon that basis it is held
the insurance companies are in posi-
tion to declare dividends which will con-
form to the commercial definition Of
dividends.

WHAT
CONGRESS is DOING
PRESIDENT IS ATTACKED.
He Would Settle in Eight Minutes the
Problems of Centuries.

-Republicanism was de-
scribed as dead, damned and lost for
ever;" Democracy was accused of rush
ing to clean its feet in the progressive
party doormat,' and the Progressive
party was characterized as branch
shoot from the dead Republican trunk
in the three-cornered tariff debate in
the house.
Representatives Hamilton and Ford
ney of Michigan took up the cudgels for
the Republican minority, the latter bit
terly assailing the sugar schedule and
the free listing of lumber and wool as
ruinous to American industry. Repre-
sentative Hamilton ridiculed the Demo
Gratis and criticized the president.
with cocksureness of a man accus-
toned to instruct the immature mind Of:
youth, he said, "the president in his
address to congress undertook to settle
In eight minutes problems that have
gexed the minds of statesmen for more
than a hundred years.
Representatives Hinebaugh of Illinois
and Hulings of Pennsylvania attacked
the Underwood bill on behalf of the Pro
gressive party. Representative Hulings
declared the bill would not curb monop.
oily nor reduce the cost of living,
though he hoped it would. He predicted
that if President Wilson could convince
the public that the Democratic tariff
views were right. ''the Democratic party
will remain in power for the next TWEEN
ty years"
Mr. Hine5sugh charged that the
pending bill was compromise be-
tween the power of special privilege and
Ahe power Of political partnoga, ,e'' and he
accused the Democrats and Republicans
of falling over themselves in an at
tempt s'to clean their feet on the Pro
gressive party doormat."
Representatives hammond of Mime
sofa and Peters of Massachusetts, de-
Tended the bill on behalf of the Demo-
cratic ways and Iliscnzs con144st stee, as-
serting that it was an honest effort to
tighten the burdens of the people and
that it stripped the tariff of it's dis
examinations and privileges to the ia
vored few.
New Democrats, among them Repre-
sentatives Aswell of Louisiana, Quinn
of Mississippi and Barkley of Ken
lucky, expressed loyalty to their party
and the bill, and defined the Progress
ives to create discord in the Democratic
party. Mr.. Barkley declared that their
party had been damned and lost for
ever" The debate was kept up until
late in the evening, when the house ad-
journed for the Republicans to hold a
scheduled caucus.

PREDICTS HIGHER MEAT COST
Swift's New Year Book Says siaugh-
ter of Calves and Cattle Scarcity

Chicago. cattle pro-
duction and prohibition of the
slaughter of calves for veal are put
forth in the Year Book Of Swift &
Co., packers, as necessary to keep

ton of the United States increased
1868, 900 in the last 10 years, the
production of cattle decreased 7,46S,-

To relieve the pressure the consum-
ing public is urged to eat more NUT

panded 100 per cent in decade.

FRAMING CURRENCY BILL.
President Wilson Will Take an Active
Part in Doing So.

Washington Congress believes that
President Wilson will frame the pro-
posed currency revision legislation or
have it prepared for him by some cur
rency expert and then turn the bill over
to the house and senate with instruc-
tions to pass it. This is the president's i
method, it is argued, with all lcgisla-
tion in which he 10 interested. He pur-
sued this course while governor of New
Jersey. He was Instrumental in draw
ing important sections Of the pending
tariff bill after he came to the White
House. His friends tell of his great
interest in currency legislation. which
he has said is Of equal Importance al
most with tariff revision.

WOULD STOP PARK SPOONING
Kansas City Police Chief Plans Way
to End Public Lovemaking
With SearchIight.

Kansas City, Mo.-To stop
"spooning" in Swope park, Chief
of Police Griffin said he hoped soon
to install upon one of the high towers
of the park shelter house a powerful
searchlight, "the eagle eye of which
would bring into the limelignt all cou-
pies secluded over the 1,2O0 acres Of
hill and dale the park contains"
The board of public welfare and
the park board recently have made
urgent complaints to the police
against indiscriminate iovemaking in
Swope.
II believe the searchlight is the So
lution," said Chief Griffin. This park
spooning must be stopped"

TARIFF COMPETITIVE.
Murdoch, in Minority Report, Urges Re-
vision With Precaution.

Washington.-A tariff commission
with power to elicit information was
urged. reasonable reduction of any duty
obviously excessive was advocated and
radical reductions not founded on ade-
quate information were opposed, in a
minority report presented to the house
by Representative Victor Murdoch Of
Kansas, Progressive member of the
ways and means committee. Mr.. Muir
dock, in his report, asserted that if there
had been wanting proof of the necessity
of tariff commission, the pending
Democratic tariff bill alone would sup
ply it. He charged that as a result Of
the methods used in it's preparation, the
few men who drafted it "are not war
ranted in feeling certain as to its eff
fects, and most of those who have in
dorsed it in caucus as a party meas
ure cannot have other than a superficial
knowledge of its provisions"

using one-half for baking, the other
half (the bone side) for broiling. The
roe can be served at still another
meal in any one of number OF ways
The famous way of cooking shad Is
planking it, method that has been
handed down to us by fishermen, who
utilized driftwood instead of pan.
They baked the fish on the wood, and
the fumes of the cedar or hickory
favored the fish so deliciously that
this makeshift custom has been
adopted by epicures all over the
world
Planked Fish.-Planked fish should
be baked on board of cedar, hick-
ory, oak or ash Place the board in
the oven until very not. Now paint
the board with butter or olive oil,
place shad on it, season with salt and
pepper. If fish has been split place
skin side downward on board. brush
with butter or olive oil, and dust with
salt and pepper. Basic often and
bake until golden brown. This takes
from 20 to 80 minutes, according to
thickness of fish. Serve with parsley,
lemon, sliced pickles or maitre d'hotel
butter.
Maitre d'Hotel Butter.-This is
made by working one-fourth cup but
ter till creamy. then add one-half tea
spoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pep
per, one-half teaspoon chopped pars-
ley, then one tablespoon lemon juice
and one tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce. This may be served hot or
cold as desired.
Baked Shad.-Remove scales and
insides, wash both inside and outside.
and wipe dry with cloth. Rub both
sides with salt and pepper. Grease
the bottom of a roasting pan with
butter or olive oil. This prevents the
shad from sticking. Paint the top OF
fish with olive oil or pieces of butter.
Place in hot oven for ten minutes.
Now take pan out of oven for a
minute and cover the fish with the
following mixture: Three-quarters OF
can of tomatoes. one green pepper
and two onions chopped fine, one ta-
blespoon of sugar, one teaspoon OF
