TO PROTEST M'ADOO'S VOTE.
Baltimore Bankers VIII Seek Re.
versaI of Boards Decision.

An interesting hearing by the Federal
Reserve Board is promised for today
when representatives of the Baltimore
bankers will protest against the designa-
ton of Richmond instead of Baltimore
as a Federal reserve city. II became
known yesterday that as afrst step in
their argument the counsel of the BaltI-
more bankers will seek to have Secrc-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comp
troller of the Currency Williams excluded
from a vote on their protest.
These officials, 1t will be pointed out,
served as members of the organization
committee which designated Richmond,
the home of Comptroller Williams, as a
reserve city. and the counsel of the
Baltimore bankers will argue that the
two officials cannot be expected to render
an unbiased opinion on the protest
against their decision.

SENATE CONFIRMS FOUR
 OF TRADE COMM SSaoN
WithhoIds Confirmation of George
 RubIee of New Hampshire.

Washington, March 2.-In executive session late tonight the senate con- fr1ned the nominations of four of the five members of the federal trade con- withholding confirmation only from George Rublee, progressive, of New Hampshire.
 Republicans vigorously opposed MT. Rublee and debate on his name con- tnued after the others had been ap- proved. The indications were that the executive session might last until morning.
 The four whose nominations were confirmed are: Joseph B. Davies of Wisconsin, Edward N. Hurley of Il1i- nois, w. J. Harris of Georgia, demo- crats: W. H. Parry of Seattle, Wash, progressive republican.
 The republicans began their fight by insisting that only the three demo- crats should be confirmed, contending that the president in not naming a regular republican had failed to con- form to the law requiring minority representation on the commission. Later opposition to MT. Parry virtu- ally was withdrawn.
 Finally. after prolonged debate, the senate laid MT. Rublee's nomination aside and took up other business in executive session. MT. Rublee's friends later admitted that it was doubtful if his nomination would again be taken up at this session.

GERMANY PLEASED WITH
 FAIRNESS OF AMERICANS
Declares Proposals Furnish Basis for
 Solution of Marine Problems.

Berlin, March 2, by Wireless to Say vile, N. Y.-"What most impressed us in the American note was the evident spirit of absolute fairness in which the American government approached the problem and its desire to propose so- lution which could be accepted by both sides" said high official of the Ger man government today. We endeav- ored in the reply to follow the same rule. The notifications we suggested are inspired by the desire to round out and complete the American proposals
 We are sure, for instance, that the American government would have in serted the clause covering armed mer- chantmen if this subject had occurred to them. The reservation regarding the offensive use of anchored mines is justified by The Hague conventions, which expressly authorize such pro- cedure: and even therein it will be mo- ticed that our note says only that we .annot renounce completely the use of such mines.
 s'The government is convinced that the American proposals furnish an ac- ceptable basis for a practical solution of the present difficulties and problems of the marine situation"

In a lengthy official communication the Russian government describes operations in north Poland and the Carpathians. The Germans, according to this announcement, although ofter- ing stubborn resistance to the Russian offensive, have been obliged to fall back to the northwest of Grodno and on Mlawa and Janow, near the east Prussian frontier.
 The Austro-Germans are also re- ported by Petrograd to have been de- feated in the Carpathians in a num- ber of attacks, in which the losses were heavy.
 Although details are meagre it is believed that heavy fighting is going on in certain areas in the western arena, to which war zone the Germans are about to send considerable rein forcements. Here both French and English also have probably been rein forced along the battle line and have been conducting aggressive operations, particularly in the Champagne region.
 No further statements regarding the operations of the Anglo-French fleet in the Dardanelles have been issued off cia1ly, but newspaper adv1ceS report that two forts well inside the Dar danelles have been bombarded by the warships and that a third fort has been shelled by a naval landing divi- sion.

 Assurance has been given in semi official quarters in Holland that The Netherlands attitude of neutrality has not been changed.
 Fears are expressed in Holland that the refusal of the German government to give safe conduct to American Belgian relief ships to touch at Eng fish ports on their homeward voyage threatens to impede the work of Bel gian relief. Germany, it is said, in- sists that such ships return home by northward passage of the Shetland Islands

Only Ten of IS2
 Miners Rescued
ENTOMBED BY EXPLOSION AT
 LAYLAND MILLS, w. VA.
A TERRIFIC CONCLUSION
Man Delivering Groceries to a House 75 Yards Distant Was Blown Aqainst Telegraph Pole and kilIed-Rescue Work is in Progress.

Hinton, W. Va, March 2.-Rescue parties late tonight had brought out, alive, ten men and recovered the bodies of nine victims of the explosion. which entombed 1S2 miners in the Lay land mines of the New River and Po- cahontas Consolidated Coal company, seven miles from Quinnimont, early today. The work of rescue is contin- uins and is aided by the crew of res cue car No. s, of the United States bureau of mines. which reached the scene tonight. It is estimated that nearly 165 men are still in the mines.
 The explosion destroyed the stone arch over the main entrance of the mine and caused the death of A. B. Cooper, who was delivering groceries within 15 yards of the mine entrance and was hurled against a telephone pole.
 Dense Black Smoke.
 For an hour and a half after the explosion, heavy clouds of dense black smoke issued from the workings. The fan was damaged and was not ready for use for nearly an hour.
 It is hoped that some of the enton1b- ed men have been able to brattfce themselves in so as to escape the noXiOus after damp.
 Force of Explosion Terrific.
 From outside evidence, the force of the explosion must have been terrific. The stone arch over the main entrance of the workings was destroyed; win dows within 300 yards were broken and the explosion was felt for miles around.
 Man BIewn Against Telegraph Pole and Killed. A. B Cooper who was delivering groceries to a house within 75 yards of the mine entrance, was blown against telegraph pole and killed, The first rescue party which pene- trated the mine a drift working, found bad slate falls. They reported the air courses good.
 Guard lines have been established around the workings and only work CTS are permitted within them. Com pany officials refuse to give out any l information
 ] Most of the entombed miners are of | foreign birth, but there are also g. large number of Americans.

MAY SEND. NOTE OF
 INQUIRY TO ALLIES
To Learn How They Propose to Block
 German Commerce.

Washington, March 2.-WhiIe Presi- dent Wilson indicated today that the United States would send a note of in quiry to Great Britain and France to learn how they proposed to carry out in practice their announced determination to prohibit commercial intercourse by sea with Germany, such action, it was later said, probably will be deferred until replies are received from Great Britain and Germany to the American proposals looking to an abandonment of submarine warfare on merchant ships and unrestricted passage of food stuffs to civilian population of bellig- erentS.
 Germany's reply as described in press deSpatches created a favorable impress sion among officials, but until the text is officially received no comment will be made. The attitude of Germany gave rise to the belief in some official quarters that a basis for a solution of the maritime situation might yet be reached through the new note.
 What Great Britain's reply will be is dependent to some extent on the attitude of her allies, whom she is con- sulting. There have been official inti- nations, however, that England would f1atly reject the proposal for the ship ment of foodstuffs and conditional con- traband to Germany.

NETHERLANDS DETERMINED
 TO PROTECT NATIONAL RIGHTS.
Belief Spreading That They Are About
 to Enter Into HostiIities.

The Hague. via London, March 2, Ills p. m.-Reports reaching Holland from the United States and other countries indicate that the belief has been spreading recently that The Netherlands is about to enter into the hostilities. Semi official circles hehe declare that such reports are without foundation. It is asserted that Hol- lands attitude of complete neutrality has not changed but that she continues determined to protect her national rights.
 Henry Van Dyke, the American min lster, referring to the reports, said:
 Naturally the various naval decla- rations have caused considerable an xiety among the neutral nations, which, like Holland and the United States have large commercial interests. But I see no signs whatever of any change in the attitude of Holland. She Is peaceful! and calm and as strongly resolved as ever to do all in her DOW rto preserve her neutrality and main tain her rights"
 There has been a considerable in- lux of Germans into Holland recently. The hotels in The Hague and in other cities are crowded. It is understood that many Germans are leaving owing to the effects of the food restrictions.
