SENATE CONSIDERS
WEST VIRGINIA PROBE
Both Senators Chiffon and Golf Pro-
test Against Investigating
Miners Strike,

The Senate yesterday considered the
Kern resolution authorizing an investi-
cation by the Senate Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor of the recent West
Virginia coal strike, but failed to reach
a conclusion. Senator Kern paid his
respects to the Governor of West Vir-
ginia, DR.. Hatfield, who, the Senator
declared had pursued "lawless course
in defiance of all limitations of his
power by the Constitution The Sena-
tor said that he didn't know Hatfield
personally. But I have known him by
reputation for a long time" said Senator
Kern. land the impression / formed of
him from what / have read of him is
borne out by the statement which he
gave out attacking me-"
Senator Chiffon, a Democrat, and
Senator Golf, a Republican. endorsed
Gov. Hatfield. Senator Chiffon said he
did not approve of trials by court mar
tial, which imposed sentences of i'm
prisonment and death while civil courts
were still accessible. He denied that
any one had been sent to the penitentiary
under Gov. Hatfield. Senator Chiffon
reminded Mr.. Kern that Gov. Glasscock
imposed martial law at an expense of
$1,000 day to the State, and that Gov.
Hatfield found this condition when he
came into Office and had gradually cut
down the expense for the military to
about $50 a day. Senator Chiffon said
that the Court of Appeals of his State
had approved the convictions found by
the court martial, but that he hoped
the Supreme Court of the United States
would reverse this judgment He de-
Tended the people of West Virginia and
declared that the attacks on them had
been unjust. He insisted that the reso-
luton should go to a committee to be
considered on it's merits before it was
passed by the Senate.
Senator Golf was rather severe on the
author of the resolution. He said it was
founded wholly on false and misleading
press reports, and that there was no
evidence to sustain the allegations
'1s that the way matters OF great mo-
ment are to be brought to the attention
of the Senator inquired Senator Golf.
.'The Governors of West Virginia, Mr.
Glasscock first and Gov. Hatfield after
wards, proceeded under the law. In
doing so they followed a law that is
older than the State of West Virginia.
and was borrowed from Virginia, having
been enacted in the days of Thomas
Jefferson and Patrick Henry"

MASTER HAND Will
GUIDE CURRENCY BILL
Leader Underwood to Play Important
Part in the New Leg
islation.
CONFERENCES WILL BE HELD

/ That the banking and currency laws
will be revised along conservative lines
Is indicated by the fact that this legisla-
ton will be handled in large part in the
House by Representative Oscar w. Un-
derwoOd Of Alabama, the Democratic
leader.
The banking and currency bill will be
patterned in conference between Presi-
dent Wilson and leaders of the House
and Senate and when introduced it will
be known as an administration measure
These facts became known yesterday. fol-
lowing an informal announcement by
Leader Underwood that the House will
begin consideration of banking and cur
rency legislation early in June.
Representative Underwood will act as
the spokesman of the administration in
connection with the banking and cur
rency bill. He did so in the case Of the
tariff, and President Wilson is delighted
with the results. 1t was through Mr.
Underwood that the President caused it
to be made known that he would ask
Congress to consider a banking and cur
rency law at this session.
Meetings to start soon.
The personnel of the Democratic end
of the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency will be made up within the next
few days. The names of the members
will be withheld for time. but informal
meetings will commence at once under
the direction of Mr. Glass, the prospective
chairman. Mr.. Glass and his associates
will hold frequent conferences with the
other leaders of the House and repre-
sentatives of the administration. and it
is believed that by June 5 everything will
be in readiness for the beginning OF
the debate on banking ard currency In
the House.
Great care is to be exercised in the Sc
on Banking and Currency Conservatives
are in control of the Democratic side of
the House, and it is regarded as highly
in shaping legislation of such Importance
as that affecting the banking and cur
rency system of the United States.
1t is known that the Democratic lead
ers in building the new committee will Sc
lect only those who are known to have
sound views on the question. There Is
no disagreement over the selection Of Nc.
Glass as chairman. He has served on the
Banking and Currency Committee a num-
Der of years and has given the subject
good deal of study.
If Chairman Glass has his way there
will be no hearings on the proposed bill.
AS chairman of a subcommittee Mr.. Glass
conducted extensive hearings coincident
with the investigation by another sub
committee into the affairs of the so-callcd
Money Trust. He believes that the COM
mittee has all the information that Is
needed to guide it in its labors.

FALLING BOULDERS
DAMAGE SCHOOL
overhanging Rocks That Threatened
SCHOOL, Building Removed BY
Big Blast. -

The huge rocks directly above the
ward school, in South Clifton, were
dynamited last Monday, the result
being that they were removed from
their age-old position, but the re-
moval caused some damage to the
building below. More than 100 tons
is the estimated weight of a boulder
that crashed through the rear wall
of the lower floor, passing through
the solid concrete as though it were
paper. The flooring was torn up,
the fire escape twisted, and the wood
en- partition between the primary
rooms on the ground floor was splint-
cred. Practically all damage sus-
tanned was confined to the rear wall
of the ground floor, and the material
directly surrounding it. One small
stone was shot through the length of
the building, passing through the
hallway, and making it's exit at the
front door. The window panes in
the rear walls of both floors were
broken, while window frames and
doors were knocked from their fas-
Jennings.
Large trenches were dug just be-
low the point OF blast, with a view
to stopping boulders in their fall but
the larger of the stones cleared the
trenches and were stopped only by
the building below. More than 1000
sticks of dynamite were exploded in
the attempts to remove these danger
GUS boulders, the blasting occurring
at intervals throughout the day. The
large stone which caused the serious
damage to the building will be remov-
ed by digging a great pit directly by
its side for its reception, it's great
size making expensive any other
manner of removal.
Much relief will be felt by the pa
irons of this school, in the removal
of these rocks, as their former posi-
tion was a constant menace to the
safety of the children in the building
below
