BELIEVES THAT GAS
CAUSED EXPLOSION

Charleston, Dec. 6.-Although
gas had not been detected in the
mine for more than year, wit
nesses today told a coroner's iu-
~ Investigating til Boomer mine
explosion was the result of the
ignition Of gas.
Mine Superintendent. T, III.
Huddy. questioned by Chief Mine
Inspector Carl A. Henry, Prose-
cutting Attorney II. G. Summer
field and Samuel B. Montgom-
cry. attorney for the United
Mine Workers, declared he was
convinced that the blast which
cost the lives of the miners was
due to the gas which entered the
workings from taseam above.
The point where the explosion
occurred was more than two
miles from the opening Of the
mine and the pillars Of coal were
being drawn prior to the aban-
donment Of that section. Hubby
declared it was his belief that
a fall Of coal and debris had
drawn the gas from above.
The opinion was sustained by
James Diana, miner, who es-
capped. Diana testified that for
several days he and companion
had heard rumblings overhead,
but had attributed it to loose
roof.
Justice E. c. Landers, of
Boomer, is conducting the inves-
tigation and at his request Mayor
Bert S. Hastings, of Montgom-
cry, is sitting with him. Only
five witnesses were examined to-
day. The hearings will be con-

sIxTY-TOURTH CONGRESS
is ORGANIZED
Presidents Message Will Be Delivered
TO Joint Session Today, Speaker
Champ Clark Democratic
Vote. A Great Program
Has Been Outlined
BY The Secretary
Of The Treasury

Washington, Dec. 6.-The
Sixty-fourth congress of the
United States met and organized
today in a furry of political and
legislative excitement. The for
NAL organization of the house
and senate was accomplished
and arrangements were made for
the joint session tomorrow, when
President Wilson will submit his
message, expected to be the most
important public communication
of the administration.
The European war, possibili-
ties for peace, neutrality inves-
legations and questions of rev.
enue, all put in an appearance
as soon as congress was formal
~ in session. In the some 2,1OO
bllls.and resolutions were intro
duced during the day. Of these
600 were public measures and
the remainder were private bills
ana pension bills.
In the house the largest at
tendance in history was on hand
and Speaker Champ Clark was
reelected by a straight demo-
cratic party vote. The senate
reelected, President Protein
Clarks Of Arkansas.
In addition to the flood of pol
ltical and legislative demands
which confronted congress. it
received from the secretary Of
the treasury estimates which
contemplate the greatest gov
ernmental expenditures ever
planned for the fiscal year of
1917. The estimate calls for to-
tai appropriations aggregating
81 ,285, 1857, 808.16. OF this a.
mount about $4,000, 900 is
chargable to the self-supporting
postal service and sinking funds
on the public debt. The total
amount to be provided out of the
current fund is $908, 929.16 This
total shows an increase. of $751;
931 ,4O1.61 over the appropria-
ton for the current year. The
estimate went to the house ap-
preparations committee where
work will begin at once on the APP
preparations bill. The converting
of the senate was void of Incl
dent. No business of any char
acter was transacted. The usual
committee was appointed to wait
upon the president with like
committee from the house and
notified him that congress was
in session.

Reparation and Indemnities For
American Concerns Is Demand
ed BY U. S.

N ashington, Dec. ga Wig
orous protest aginst the sinking
Of the steamship Ancona by an
Austrian submarine has been
sent to Austria by Secretary of
State Lansing. It was learn
ned tonight that the note was
sent following Thursdays cabi-
net meeting.
Demands made on Austria
are That the government disa-
vow the act. That reparation
and indemnities be given Amer
lean concerns.
That assurances be given that
there will be no repetition of
such warfare.
That the submarine com
mander guilty of the outrage
be punished by the government.
Austria's unsatisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, which confiicted with
the official report of United
States consuls at Algiers, Ma
Piles and Marseilles and the re-
port of Ambassador Page at
Rome prompted the protest.
The Italian statement and the
stories of the survivors were
also widely at variance with
Austria's version of the facts.
The United States takes the
unqualified position that it has
been established that the Ancona
was attacked without warning.
1t is also held as an established
fact that the ship was fired up
on while life boats were being
filled with passengers.
