BANKHEAD SKEPTICAL
 OF LOAN BILL PLANNED

Washington, December 29.-(Special) Of the passage through Congress of any bill providing for the lending of money by the treasury of the United States to the farmers of the nation Senator Bankhead of Alabama is highly skeptical.
 When he returns from a brief visit to Alabama the senator will introduce a bill which he believes will be re- ceived by Congress favorably. It will provide simply that farmers, with the sanction and approval of the govern ment, may come together, pool" their holdings, and secure loans on mortgages bearing the government seal. All prop erty so pooled will be approved and stamped by the government, and thus made of value equal to it's face
 The opinion of the senator respect ing the impossibility of passage of any bill providing that the treasury shall lend money direct, is of unusual inter- est at the present time. For the sub committee on rural credits has just completed draft of it's bill which pro- vides for the creation of a system of agricultural banks to be governed by Ia central board at Washington.
 Senator Bankhead declares that the scheme would be happy were it feas- ible He regards it, however, as Utopian, and, as stated. holds that no bill can go through Congress which does not impel the farmer, himself, to act for himself. The bill which he will introduce will be. he contends. of great value to the farmer in that 1t guaran- tees the approval by the government of all property "pooled"-thus making it of commercial value, and capable of being handled at a low rate of in- terest

Call for Help

Pittsburg, December 29-Heavy drafts of materials were sent from Pittsburg late today in answer to calls for help from the storm-ridden east. The Bell Telephone company had a special train with line men and engineers for Philadelphia over the Pennsylvania, and the railroad itself sent all the extra men it could find in this territory. Reports received by the railroad here indicated that for 40 miles between Christianna and Atglen almost every pole was down or leaning danger ously, while for eight miles, between Atglen and Gap not pole was left stand ing. All poles on the north side of the Harrisburg yards went down during the day, and those on the south side were not considered safe.

FIFTY CONNECTS ARE GIVEN THE SOLITARY All Are Charged With Be- ing Ring Leaders in an
 Attempted Mutiny

Leavenworth, Kan, December 29.-Fifty convicts of the Kansas state penitentiary
 were placed ii solitary confinement today charged with being ring leaders in a mutiny yesterday in the coal mines op- erated by the penitentiary. AccNding to Warden J.. K. Codding, practically all the 300 convicts at work in the mines had part in the demonstration. After score of guards had been capsureo by mutineers armed with picks the prison officials granted the demand of the con victs for better food and agreed Co meet committee of prisoners to talk over working conditions. Then the mutineers dispersed.
 The mutiny was not known above ground until Prof. R. l.. Grider of the mining and engineering school of the University of Kansas with party of l12 students, descended into the mine on tour of inspection As soon as the cage stopped at the bottom of the sharr, professor and students were seized by convicts and hustled away to the mine stables where other convicts were hold ing dozen guards at bay threatening to hack them to death.

reading of the message of the President. carried Washington special to the ef- feet that Senator Underwood, unless Sen ator Newlands, chairman of the commit tee, acted in the meantime. would intro duce resolution that a joint committee be raised.
 "Of course, I could have introduced the resolution said Senator Underwood, but I wanted peace and harmony to prevail to the end that the important work might be accomplished. I did not care who fathered the movement For the country always in the long run gives a man credit if he deserves credit. It is of great importance that the government devise scheme under the practical oper- ation of which the railroads will be com pelled to bear their just share of the burdens of the government, and reap a fair return at the same time on their in- vestment.
 And this is destined to be the impor- tant question before the country, in my opinion. For if the railroads are prosper ous they expand, and as result of their purchase of steel, iron, coal and timber the country prospers.''

RED GROSS DOCTOR
 ON ANC0NA ARRIVES.
Will Make Deposition at Washington-WOuld Not
 Involve Any One

New York, December 29.-Dr. Cecile L. Grie1, the Red Cross physician, who was on the steamship Ancona when it was torpedoed and sunk in the Medi- terranean, arrived here today on the steamship Rochambeau on her way to Washington to make a deposition for the state department regarding the An cona's sinking.
 Dr. Griel repeated her story of the incident, as previously told in cable dispatches, and described in detail how she entered her stateroom just as a shell from the submarine burst through a porthole and killed maid Mrs. Criel declined to state specifically that any of the lifeboats had been shelled, but she did say that considerable num- Der of the survivors were wounded be- fore being taken off the Ancona.
 No warning was given to the Ancona, Dr. Griel added, the presence of the submarine first being known when a shot crashed into the forward part of the ship.
 Naturally, there was much confu- sion," Dr. GrieI said, but of the ac- tion of the crew I do not desire to say anything. Fifteen lifeboats were launched, but only eight got away safely. I had to jump from the deck of the ship, about 25 feet, to the boat in which I took refuge.
 Fully 50 people, most of them wounded by shells from the submarine or by flying debris, were on the decks of the Ancona when she went down.
 It was Il hours before the eight boats were picked up by a French mine planter and taken into the nearest port. Many of those in the boats were wounded and their sufferings were in tense. I am grateful for my escape, but I would rather have gone down with the ship than to be factor in involving my country insswar."
