SENATORS PROBE
MINERS SIDE Of
M|NGO TROUBLES
Kenyon's Investigating Com
mittee Questions Men and
Women; Operators Are to
Be Heard Today.
tBy The Associated press.)

Williamson, w. Va. Sept. 49,
Senator Kenyon's investigating
committee, boiled down finally to
himself and Senator Shortridge of
California, went among the people
in the Lick Creek tent colony to-
day to get the miners side of the
underlying cause of industrial
troubles in the Mingo region.
Fifty or more men and wom-
en- had been questioned, the wom-
en- being the most eager to talk.
Tomorrow the operators will be
heard.
The tent colony Is populated by
miners who have been on strike
fourteen months. George Echols,
a negro preacher, aged rs. showed
the ragged gaps in his tent, put
there, he testified, by state con
stabulary or private guards" In
side. he picked UP his month's-old
baby, born in a home with only
the earth as flooring, and proudly
displayed 1t to Senator Shortridge
Wide slashes and bullet holes in
other tents also were pointed out
as alleged evidence of some Of the
colony's hardships.
The senators tried to find out
how the trouble might be settled
Most OF the miners declared they
had not been amply paid for then
work. other alleged grievances
were against the so-called mine
guard system" and the claim OF
the men that once they Joined the
union, they were fired.
The witnesses also complained
that many men from the colony
had been put in Jail, and not told
Of the charges against them.
Have any mine guards been
shot by miners?" Senator Kenyon
asked. and the witnesses agreed
that while they had heard such
reports they had no direct knowl-
edge.
Senator Kenyon was presented
with a memorial from local coun-
sci of the United Mine Workers,
setting forth their side of the case
along with charges against the
operators.
Both senator's were anxious to
learn what was happening to the
children in the colony and wheth-
er they went to school, but the in
formation was indefinite. About
two score babies, most Of them
born In the tents were brought out.

COMPLETE COUNT OF
GOVERNMENTS CASH
Total of Thirteen Billion, Five Hun
dred Million Dollars Found in
Uncle Sans Strong Boxes
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Feb. 3.-A complete
count of the governments cash has
just been made for the first time in
twelve years. The total approximated
S13, 500, ,00O,O 900 and included all cash
and securities held as reserves against
currency outstanding.
The count was made by a special
committee of three, assisted by eight
accountants and by fifteen laborers
who were used to move around the
heavy sacks of gold and silver. The
. men delved into great vaults in the
treasury building and took stock of
gold. silver and paper money and Sc
curities, many of which had not seen
the light of day since shortly after
VIM. III. Taft was inaugurated presi-
dent and new treasurer of the Unit
ed States appointed in 1909.
The accountants in entering the
vaults passed grim-visaged guards
who day and night "sit on the lid" to
prevent any possible attempts at an
unauthorized raid on the treasury.
The vaults themselves are supposed
to be burglar proof and are of massive
concrete and steel construction. The
storage sections are kept under seal
and this was the first time that some
of them had been opened in twelve
years for when John Burke became
treasurer after President Wilson was
first inaugurated he accepted the
count of cash in the storage sections
which had not been opened since the
previous count in 1909.
The accountants handled money of
every possible denomination from the
lowly copper to $4,000 bills. Many
of the bills, particularly those of the
large denominations, such as $1,000,
were m sheets of four each and held
as reserve against currency of smaller
denominations in circulation. Thou
sand dollar bills in circulation are few
and each bank in the country is kept
supplied by the treasury with list
of them with their numbers so that
If perchance any are extracted from
the treasury illegally the holder will
have extreem difficulty in realizing on
them.
The count just finished was made
necessary by the retirement of John
Burke as treasurer and was complet-
ed in the remarkable short time of
three weeks through the use of elec-
trio counting machines. Loose coins
passed through these machines in
stead of being counted by hand as was
necessary in the olden days. Paper
currency was counted by the piece,
hut stored coins and currency were
counted by the sack or package IN
cases where the wrappings were un-
broken and the seal on each intact.
Upon completion of the count the
storage compartments of the vaults
were sealed with the seal of the spe-
cial committee and a receipt was
given to Mr.. Burke, the retiring treas
urer, by Guy F. Allen, his successor
for the cash and securities of the gov.
ernment held in the treasury.

PENALTIES WILL BE REDUCED

Washington, Feb. 4.-Reduction IN
the number of dishonorable discharges
from the army and q grading down
in the severity of courts-martial sen
tences are expected by the Judge ad-
vccate generals department to result
from an executive order limiting mill
tary peace time punishment which
gees into effect today. The order fol-
lows wide agitation over courtmartial
penalties during the war period.
A memorandum from the president
attached to the order directs that
maximum punishment and dishonor-
able discharges be imposed only in
aggravated cases. This is expected to
have more effect IN reducing penal
ties, it was stated than the actual
order, which reduces punishments for
21 different offenses under the mill
tary code.
The old maximum of Is months
confinement for, desertion by men less
than one year in service has been re-
dueed to one year, and in cases Of
more than six months service, from
PA years to two years. The period
of absence for which desertion pen
afties can be imposed is increased
from 30 to go days.
The maximum penalty for fraudu-
lent enlistment has been reduced from
one years imprisonment TO six
months. The greatest reduction Of
maximum confinement. is for assault
without deadly weapons, which was
five years. reduced to one year. The
maximum where weapons are used IN
still five years.
The maximum for obtaining under
false pretenses money or property
valued at $50 or more is reduced from
FIVE years to three years.
"The executive order win not re-
suit in a radical reduction Of penal
t;es," Colonel c. A. Kreger, acting
Judge advocate declared. Punish
ments for offenses IN the army have
been based since 1914 on . consen-
sus of those fixed by different stats
laws for similar civil offenses. The
executive order reduces maximum
penalties for such offenses as fraudu-
lent enlistment. desertion and other
peculiarly military IN nature, but
maximum penalties seldom have been
awarded for these offenses.
AThe presidents memorandum call
ing attention to the articles of war
which provide for q grading down
from maximum penalties where cases
are not aggravated probably win have
more effect in tightening punishments
than the reductions which he actually
orders. His memorandum however,
hut stresses what is already o part Of
military law"
Since 1890 the president has been
authorized by Congress to fx the limit
Of military punishment by executive
order, and several such orders have
been issued from time to time by dif-
Iferent presidents
