mittee Of the United Mine Workers

The cities as selected came in for
much criticism today. The passing
over OF New Orleans for Dallas and
the selection Of two cities In one
state-St. Louis and Kansas City
was particularly commented on. So
far as Dallas Is concerned, there
seemed a general opinion that this
selection was we'll warranted because
of the territory involved. Texas, New
Mexico and the southern part OF Ari-
zona are so vast that the COMMITTEES
scided the reserve city should be
placed as near the center as possible.
Geographically, Dallas was ideal and
it was named. Had New Orleans re-
ceived the plum, its position at the
very eastern extremity Of the zone
would have meant real delay should
necessity for emergency communica-
ttion or transfer OF funds arise. This,
LIT was said, was the actual reason for
! the selection and there was emphatfo
denial today Of the report that New
| Orleans has been turned down because
of the position taken by the Louisiana
senator's on the tariff bill.
Kansas City, however, got its plum,
it was freely admitted, through the

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. April 3.-Hun'
dreds of persons, relatives and friends
of the seal fishermen, caught in the
terrific blizzard off Cape Race early
this week, crowded the streets here
today, anxious for more definite news
from the Red Cross steamer Florizel
and the ship Bellaventure, headed to-
ward this port with bodies of the
dead and survivors of the sealer

At noon the Bellaventure's weak
wireless reported her position. 1t was
understood as ninety miles from st.
Johns. She said she was blocked by
ice off Cape Bonavista and possibly
might not be able to reach port be-
fore Sunday Many of the rescued
seal fish armen we're reported to be In
a serious condition. All suffered in
tensely from exposure and it is fear
ed the death list may be increased
before the Bellaventure reaches port.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 3.-Faclns
the certainty that more than tnree
score men OF the sealer New FOUND
land perished when caught In bi,z'
zard last Tuesday and with the prob
ability that the number OF dead may
greatly exceed that count, prepara-
ton to receive the bodies was being

Out Of another blizzard which is rag
ing off here. the wireless Of the Bella
venture reported her position lou
miles from harbor. She cannot reach
st. Johns before this morning but
when she arrives the frozen sealing
men she is bringing will at once be
rushed to hospitals in the Grenfall
Seamen's institute by the men of the
British drill ship Calypho who have
been ordered to extra duty to aid in
the work.
It is believed that the Bellaventure
is bringing the bodies OF forty men
who met death in the ice foes. she
is also. reported to have on board
thirty odd survivors of the disaster
but it is not yst certain what happen
ed to the New Foundland. her captain
Wesley Kean, and the remainder o.
his crew. It is not believed that the
New Foundland was crushed by the
foes but only further word from the
Bellaventure will clear up the story.
The fragmentary reports so far re
ceived indicate that thirty men of the
New Foundlend's crew are still un'
accounted for. Some of these are be-
lieved to have bean saved by the steel
whaler Stephano and this vessel pos
sibly is still at the scene Of the dis
aster, searching the scattered foes
for the frozen bodies of others OF the
ill-fated crew.
