WHILE THEY SLEEP
IN R0OM|NG HOUSE
Peter wager, Wife and John
G. Carter Victims of
Supposed Accident.

Three persons were found dead in
bed in a rooming house at al Penn
sylvania avenue northwest about II
o'clock this morning by John S. Gar
ner, an employee of the house. He
smelled Illuminating gas and traced
it to it's source. discovering the three
occupants of a room in the rear of
the house dead.
The dead are: Peter Wager and
wife of Niobe, N. Y. about fifty years
of age, and John G. Carter of Ben
Bush,a p smining town in West vir-
gifiia.
Coroner hewitt, after viewing the
bodies, gave a verdict of accidental
death by Illuminating gas.
Mrs. James I. Rice, wife of the pro-
prietor of the rooming house, which
is known as "Rice's Hotel" said the
three persons registered for rooms
about Z o'clock last night. taking din
rooming house, and afterward going
to the rooms of the hotel proprietor
They retired about 10 o'clock.
About 1920 o'clock this morning
Garner smelled illuminating gas. and
opening the room where Mr.. and Mrs
Yager and Carter, thought to be Mrs
Yager's brother. slept last night
found all three dead.
The coroner said they had been
dead several hours when discovered
The Yagers were identified by call
ing cards found In the purse of~Mrs
Yager and by an automobile driving
license issued to Peter wager. Niobe
n. Y"
The theory of the police is that the
gas was accidentally turned on by
some inadvertent movement of one OF
the trio and was not discovered until
members of the party had become toe
nearly unconscious to turn it off.
From the appearance of the body
of Mr.. wager. he had risen from bed
in an attempt to turn the gas off
but had fallen in a corner of the
room before reaching the jet. The
gas jet was so easily turned that
even a slight pressure turned it on
full.
The bodies were removed TO the
District morgue and relatives in

A PLEA FOR SANITY

Conference.

BY FRANKLIN X. LANE.
Who Was Chairman of the Industrial
Conference.
The industrial conference never
really got started. 1t died at its
birth because questions arose
which it was not prepared to
meet then. This should not end
the effort to get at this business
of adjusting labor troubles by
good sense instead of force. On,
for a few days of real sanity,
when with composed nerves and
calm Judgment, and without Bit
terness of feeling, we could look
at our problems and meet
them with our traditional hope
fulness and confidence.
Recklessness is in our blood,
great willingness to take risks
that we have no right to take.
We will suffer for this spasm of
hystericaI seIf-assertiveness on all
sides. l want to see a new con-
ference of leading minds that will
think in practical terms. a real
council of national defense
against the kind of civil war
which seine seem to think an
other irrepressible conflict.

Of William o. Jeakins, American con
sular agent at Puebla, unframed even
paw the $4,000 ransom demanded by
the bandits who kidnapped him.
While this note was going forward,
Senator Myers. democrat Montana.
introduced a resolution asking Presl-
dent Wilson to "usesall the armed
forces of the United States" in Sc
curing the release of Jenkins. The
measure will be called up Monday.
| The resolution also would direct
that those responsible for the abduc-
ton of the consular agent be appre-
hended' and punished.
Senators Make Suggestions.
Senator Myers sought immediate
action on the resolution, but Senator
Smoot. republican, Utah, objected on
the ground that a matter calling for
Ssuch broad action" should not be
considered hastily.
The embassy at Mexico City was in
structed, it was announced officially,
ito insist that the Mexican govern
ment definitely advise the embassy
what action has been taken with
view of the liberation of William q
Jenkins, and to advise the Mexican
government that the United States
government expected ii to take effec-
tive steps to obtain the release OF
Jenkins.
District Where Man Is Held.
The consular agent is understood
to be held by rebels under the leader
ship of FREDERICK Cordoba and Juan
liberia, near Puebla. This district.
in which is located the second larg-
est city in the republic, is supposed
to be thoroughly under the control

Nomination Is Rejected.

with the testimony nnally all IN
and printed, the committee met today
for the first time to pass upon the
nomination and after being in session
for less than an hour voted to reject
the nomination.
Chairman Mclean said, after the
meeting, that he would report the
nomination to the Senate Immediate
ly, and that he would seek to get ac-
ton on the. nomination at the earliest
opportunity in the Senate. He init
mated that he would seek an oppor-
tunity next week. However. with the
peace treaty blocking all other mat
ters in the Senate. it does not appear
probable that it will be possible to get
the nomination up for consideration.
The' democrats, at the instance of the
administration, are expected to put up
a long and hard fight to prevent the
rejection of the Williams nomination
and to block all attempts of the re-
publicans to force vote.
Man Continue Office.
AS long as the Senate has not act
ually voted to reject the nomination,
Mr.. Williams may continue to hold
office. That the republicans will
force a showdown on the nomina-
ton, if they have to hold a continu-
Gus session lasting for many hours,
predicted today. This probably will
not be, however, until after the peace
treaty has been disposed of and, prob
ably, not until the regular session be-
gins in December.
The republicans in the Senate are
expected to line up solidly with the
committee when it comes to a vote.
while the democrats may be expected,
with perhaps. one or two exceptions.
to support Mr.. Williams nomina ton.
Unless vote on Mr.. Williams NOM
nation is taken, and the vote pro-
poses to reject him. Mr.. Williams NAV
be continued in office by the Presi-
dent until the close of the Wilson
administration on March 4,.1921.
There has been talk of considering
the nomination of Mr.. Williams in
open executive session of the Senate.
SO that the discussion might be pub
lie. Chairman Mclean said today
that he had no objection whatever to
considering the nomination in open
session of the Senate. He said. how
ever. that it is customary to consider
all nominations in closed executive
session.

COMMITTEE VOTE
|SUNFAVORABLETO
JOHNS. WILLIAMS
Republicans Oppose Renom-
ination as Controller of
Currency, 9 to 7.

By strict party vote the Senate
banking and currency committee vot-
ed. today to report unfavorably the
to succeed himself as controller of
the currency, the republicans all
voting against Mr.. Williams conf1r-
nation and the democrats supporting
him. The entire membership of the
committee was recorded, nine repub-
licans voting to reject the nomination
and seven democrats voting for it.
The nomination of Mr.. Williams has
been pending since February 3. 1919,
when the President sent it to the
Senate as a reappointment. When the
last Congress adjourned Mr.. Williams
was continued in office by Secretary
Glass of the Treasury without a re-
cess appointment by the President. on
the theory that the controller holds
Office until his successor is appointed
and confirmed by the Senate. AS soon
as the Senate again assembled, in
May. the nomination was before the
Senate banking and currency commit
tee for action, and the vote today was
the final word of the committee with
regard to the controversy.
Controversy Long and Bitter.
The controversy over Mr.. Williams
nomination has been long and bitter.
His opponents have declared that he
was temperamentally unfit for the Of
fee of controller; that he used his Of
fee to vent his personal spite. During
the last Congress, while the democrats
were in power, hearings on Mr.. Will
lams' nomination were held at the
time, and former Senator Weeks of
Williams, urging that his nomina-
ton be rejected. Wade H. Cooper, a
local banker, also appeared in opposi-
stion to Mr.. Williams. declaring that
he had been Disseminated against by
the controller of the currency. Final
ly, the Williams nomination was re-
ported to the Senate by the democratic
majority. But with the session about
to close the democrats could not force
a vote on II, and adjournment of Con-
gress game with the nomination still
unconfirmed. sls'-% se'1.-ts
After the republicans reorganized
the Senate and its committeees In
Nay, the nomination Of Mr.. williams
was placed before it, and Senator Nc.
Lean. chairman of the committee, an
nounced there would be hearings. The
hearings lasted days and weeks, and
every detail of the Riggs Bank case.
in which Mr.. Williams was charged
with prosecuting the bank, the case
of the Cooper banks and ether insti-
tutions was gone into. Mr.. Williams
replied on the stand at length to all
the charges made against him and
brought counter charges.

When Soldiers Get Jobs

The Home Service Branch of the

ton. The local board has helped
scores of disabled soldiers who have
applied here for assistance in finding
a suitable vocation, but in many
cases have not received a report
when the position is secured.
This branch is busy every day in
taking care of soldiers and has been
doing wonderful work. The work of
the Home Service would be helped
considerably if the soldiers or the
families of soldiers who have found
placement, as result of assistance
given by the board here. would
make report to the board of the
result.
