Investigators of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers TO which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest in the practice
of Western gold miners to make pets
of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode of Cali
fOrnia ii has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take care of them, believing that the
rodents are a source of protection
against accident, says Our Dumb AMI
mails. This is due, the men say, to the
instinct OF the rats, which warns them
when a tunnel is unsafe. And when
the rats leave Il tunnel IL is almost i'm
possible to get the miners TO work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave a doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans to the dangerous gases that
so often cause loss of life in the mines.
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be-
come sick and show symptoms of dis
tress. SO the men keep close watch
of the rats good health.

SAVED FROM HANGING
California Governor Commutes
Sentence of T. J. Mooney.
Quotes Two Messages From President
Wilson in Statement Re-
viewing Case.

Sacramento, CAL, Nov. 30.-The seu-
tence of Thomas j. Mooney, sentenced
to be hanged Dec. 10, in connection
with the deaths of 10 persons from
a Uomb explosion in San Francisco
in July, 1916, was committed by Gov
ernor w. d. Stephens to life impris-
onment.
In giving the announcement of the
governors decision, his private secre-
taTy, Martin Madsen, said the com
mutation was signed. but that further
than the governors written statement
there would be no comment.
The statement reviews the case fully
and quotes in their entirety the two
messages from President Woodrow
Wilson in which the action now taken
by the governor was suggested.
The communication, says the COVER
nor, reduces the case to the status of
that of Warren X. Billings.
Il refuse to recognize this case as
in any fashion representing a clash
between capital and labor" the gov
ernor says, and he characterizes as
absurd the propaganda hat would
make Mooney appear as a martyr t o
the cause of labor.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Revision Of
the war Revenue BIZ, designed to
raise 5000, 900. 900 in taxes in 1919
and about $4,000, 000, 900 in 1920, has
been completed by the Senate finance
sommittee
The measure Is virtually rewritten
to meet changed conditions attending
the end OF the war. II now goes to
the printer and will be reported to
the Senate next Thursday. Senate
debate. Senator Simmons said, may be-
gin the following Saturday or Mon
day.
With Republicans lined up solidly
In opposition to inclusion OF 1920 tax
rates in the bill, II was conceded In
al quarters that discussion In the SEN
ate will delay passage of the measure,
and many senator's expressed doubt
that II can be enacted before March
3, the date OF the ending of this, the
ifnal session OF the sixty-ffth Con-
gress.
Task OF Collection Worries.
In view Of the expected delay, Sen.

alike are concerned over the question
OF collecting taxes next year, as II is
now admitted that unless the new law
is enacted before Jan. l collections
must be made under the present rev.
enue bill, the yield from which is only
about $4,000, 900, 900.
Several expedients, including adop-

porating some of the features of the
pending bill. are under consideration.
Senator Simmons said tonight he
doubted whether the Republicans
would file a minority report attacking
the 1920 tax program, and added that
they might content themselves with
making vigorous opposition to that
proposal on the floor of the Senate.
New Postage Rates Included.
In completing the bill the finance
committee adopted an amendment es-
tablishing new second. class postage
rates. effective when the revenue bill
becomes a law. IL provides for re-
peal of the present graduated zone
rates on newspapers, magazines and
other periodicals and substitutes a
rate of one cent a pound within an
area of 200 miles from mailing points
and IL cents a pound outside that
area.
The committee also adopted another
amendment for restoration on July 1,
1919. OF the two cents an ounce rate
on letters and one cent on post cards.
Several senators believed the second
class postal rate amendment will be
vigorously opposed by publishers. who
have disapproved any zone system of
postal rates as unjust and discrimina-
tory.

The newspaper adds that the revolu-

the former emperor to Berlin. Some
of these officers in civilian clothes
have been recognized in the streets of
Berlin. Many of them are reported to
be dressed as workmen.

These officers harangue the crowds
as comrades and in every way encour-
age the revolutionary movement. 1t
is added, however, that IL opportunity
offers they will abandon their dis
guise. contend hat the revolution Is
a failure and begin a counter-reyolu-
ton.
Agents of these officers, 1t is de-
clared, are furthering this plot by
spreading anti-British propaganda In
Holland with the object Of e%mbittering
the Dutch against the Allies.

President Wilson Appoints Dele
gates to Peace Conference
in Europe.
TO HEAD DELEGATION
President Wilson viii Sit at Table
With Robert Lansing, Henry
White, {. M. House and
Gen. Tasker n. Bliss.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-The Amer
ence will be led personally by Presi-
dent Wilson.
This was announced officially at the
White House.
The representatives of the United
States at the peace conference will
be:
President Wilson, Robert Lansing,
secretary Of state; Henry White, for
mer ambassador to France and Italy;
K. NJ. House, Gen. Tasker II. Bliss,
representative of the American army
with the supreme war council at Yer-
sailles.
White House Makes Announcement.
This announcement was made at the
White House. In the absence of any
official explanation it was assumed
that the President goes as President
of the United States and that Secre-
tary Lansing, Mr.. White and Colonel
House and possibly also General Bliss
will be delegates with a~mbassadorial
rank.
1t was recalled that the Presidents
announcement that he would "go to
France for the purpose of taking part
in the discussion and settlement of
the main features Of the treaty of
peace" said that it was not likely
that he could remain throughout the
sessions of the peace conference and
that he would be accompanied by
delegates who will sit as the repre-
s%entatiyes of the United States
throughout the conference"
Text Of Statement.
The White House announcement
follows: :
1T was announced at the executive
offices that the representatives of the
United States at the peace conferences
would be President Wilson himself, the
secretary of state, the Hon. Henry
White, recently ambassador to France,
Mr.. Edward NJ. House and General
Tasker II. Bliss.
ut was explained that it had not
been possible TO these APP
pointments before because the number
of representatives each OF the chief
belligerents was to send had until a
day or two ago been under discus
sion"
Naming Of Bliss Surprised.
White House officials would add
nothing to the formal statement, and
no n protesting to be in the conf
dence Of the President would talk.
There was only one surprise in the
statement-the appearance of the
name of General Bliss as one of the
representatives.
1t had been taken for granted that
the general military representative Of
the United States on the supreme wal
council would take part in the discus
sions at Versailles, but the general
idea had been he world be attached
to the delegation in a military capac-
ity just as Admiral Benson probably
will be present as spokesman for the
navy in the great naval problems to
be solved.
