 Committee Is Told
[ Republican A. P. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-Prepara- tory to beginning a recount of the bal lots east in the Michigan senatorial election contest of 1918, between Tru- man H Newberry, Republican, and Henry Ford, Democrat, the senate cleo tions committee today heard testimony relative to alleged accidental destruc- ton of 17.000 ballots cast in the elec- tion.
 Election officials from two of the townships were called before the com mittee to give their version of the manner in which the missing ballots were destroyed while attorneys for Ford whose contest of the seat now held by Newberry is before the com mitted, traced through witnesses the approximate 7,T00 ballots cast in the city of Saginaw from the sale as waste paper by q city hall janitor to a junk dealer, from whom Fred R. Dolsen, assistant secretary to MT Ford, pug- chased them Dolsen told the com mittee the Saginaw ballots, baled as waste paper, were now locked up in a warehouse of the Ford Motor com pany at Highland Park. a Detroit suburb
 Coincident with the beginning by the senate committee of it's hearings counsel for Senator Newberry and oth- CTS convicted with him on charges of conspiracy to violate federal laws in the senatorial election filed briefs in the Supreme court supporting their appeal from the lower court. The briefs contended that the corrupt prac tices under which the convictions were made was inapplicable to the case
 The contention also was made that the act deals with amounts spent by the candidate himself and not with the amounts voluntarily contributed by SUD- porters.

MONDELL CRTTICIZES ESTIMATES
 OF WAR AND NAVAL SECRETARIES

Scrlped as the war departmentS policy of recruiting the army up to it's full strength contrary to the understanding that it should not be increased above the total of 12S,0 900 men contemplated by the appropriations made at the last session.
 Representative eConnally, replying to Mir Mondell cited the Republican lead CTS vote for the A,Tny reorganization bill under whiCh the secretary recruit led the army to d strength exceeding that possible under the appropriated funds. Representative Hardy accused the majority leader of voting for the measure requiring funds and then mak- ing 1t impossible for the secretary of war 10 obey the law by refusing to give him tho necessary funds.
 When they concluded, Representative Nondeu renewed his attack. He dc .clared Secretary Bakers attitude was so utterly at variance and so cou- temptuous of congress" that all rules had been disregarded.

DOZEN SENATORS
 PASSPOINDEXTER ANTI-STRIKE BILL
TRepublIean A. ?. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-Another controversy in congress over anti strike legislation was launched today through passage by the senate of the Poindexter bill to penalize interfer- ence with interstate commerce.
 Less than a dozen senators were present when the bill went through without a word of discussion or a roll call, but opponents, rushing in late, announced a contest. Senator La Toilette, Republican, Wisconsin, filed a motion to reconsider the vote, which holds the bill in the senate until dis posal of the reconsideration motion. When the La Toilette motion would be taken up was not determined
 The bill, as introduced by Senator PoindeXter, Republican of Washing ton, and passed today, would not pre- vent individuals from quitting their employment. but fixes severe penal ties for persons who, with intent to obstruct interstate commerce, advise, persuade or use force toward induc- ing common carriers operatives to cease work. The measure, which has been criticized vigorously by labor leaders, was presented at the last session after the house had refused to accept the anti strike clauses in the transportation act proposed by the senate.
 The senate passed the bill today while the clerk was droning through minor bills on the routine calendar under a unanimous consent agree ment.
 Objection of a single senator would | have blocked its consideration, or g quorum call would have summoned i its opponents. Neither move came 1 however, from the small handful oi senators in their seats Besides I.s Follette's motion for reconsideration 1 Senator Johnson, Republican of Cali ] fornia, made inquiry of Vice -presiden l Marshall to receive assurance, l that the motion was pending and th' 1 bill held up.
 The motion for reconsideration un l der the senate would be considere' | regularly at the next reading of tn l calendar, probably Monday Senate l Poindexter was said to be confiden
 that q majority could not be secure to overturn the senate's passage O
 the measure. but opponents were pre- pairing for q vigorous fight when th
 La Toilette motion is taken up.

MIAMI, Ariz., Dec. 16.-To be buried alive more than three hours under q pile of ore and then escape from his tomb is the experience of A. c.

Without warning the ore gave way beneath his feet and the man vanished down the chute. the ore fol- lowing. Had it not been for the timely action of fellow employees, who wit messed the accident and sounded the alarm, McBride would not be alive to- day, miners believe.
 Comrades dug frantically to release him. After three hours he emerged nc worse for the experience.
