By the Associated Press.
GATES, Pa, February Six more
dead were brought to the surface from
the shaft of the Gates mine Of the H.
C. Frick Coke Company early today,
bringing the total to rs. All the
bodies have been removed to mortu-
ary at Masontown. Belief was ex-
pressed by mine officials that the toll
may mount higher. as there may be
other miners. apart from the three or
four men yet ,unaccounted for, who
were killed by an explosion in a sec
tion Of the plant yesterday. Reports
indicated last night that there were
at least thirty men in the section at
the time of the explosion, all of whom
could be accounted for with the excep-
ton Of three or four men.
Hunt Remaining Bodies.
No hope was held out for the min
erS who could not be found, but work
continued energetically throughout
last night and this morning by par
ties digging at slate and coal falls in
an effort to recover the remaining
bodies.
The cause of the explosion is un-
determined, as no attempt has been
made in that direction, all work be-
ing bent toward rescue or the recov-
cry of bodies. From the appearance
Of the bodies, it was indicated, how
ever that the men had been asphyxi-
ated. as none Of them was mutilated.
Meantime, it was said. investigations
would be initiated by the county and
the coke company as soon as the plant
was regarded as safe.

DECISIONS AWAITED
ON UTILITIES RATES
Commission Reported to Be
Definitely Opposed to,
Zone System.
CAR HEARING CONCLUDED
Difference in Rates of Return for
Two Traction Systems Subject
of Discussion.

Ihe Public Utilities Commission will
|.ot consider a zone system of fares
in fixing street car rates for the pc
riod beginning March l. it was
learned from an authoritative source
at the District building today.
The commission has only three
weeks in which to study voluminous
testimony and render decisions on the
rates of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company and the two
street railway companies.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio and the Capital Traction COM
panies presented the last Of their
evidence yesterday afternoon and
rested the case without arguments.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
tokens for 35 cents continued for both
companies. The Capital Traction
Company, without stating specifically
what rate it desires. asks the COM
mission not to reduce its rate lower
than four tokens for 25 cents.
The Chamber Of Commerce, through
Harry King and Arthur E. Seymour.
asked the commission for a rate of
fare "as reasonable as justice will
permit and a rate that will enable
the compaDleS 10 pay their Ihen l'-
ing wage.
Insists on Reduction.
Representing the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, William Mex.
Clayton insisted that the commission
cannot, under the utilities law, avoid
a reduction in fare on the lines of the
Capital Traction Company. in view of
the showing that continuation of
present rates would yield that sys-
tenn a return of more than 10 per cent
on the fair value of the property.
Mr.. Ham declared on the stand that
should the commission reduce the fare
on the Capital Traction lines his COM
pany would have to take the same
reduction for rides within the city
proper and establish second zone on
it's suburban lines.
In closing his argument. Mr.. Clayton
inquired about the zone system. and
Chairman Keller announced that if
the commission, in its deliberations.
considered a zone system, the fact
would be advertised.
Mr.. Clayton said the w. r. & E
asks liberal treatment because it has
failed to earn a reasonable return on
it's valuation in the past few years.
Applying the same rule to the Cap
ital. Traction Company. the speaker
said. scent fare could be restored
on that system.
For three years, Mr.. Clayton de-
clared, the Capital Traction Company
has earned close to 10 per cent on it's

the high schools this week from sub
mitting their compositions after hav-
ing prepared for the writing Of them
for several months while in school.
Besides receiving cash awards,
some of the winners Of the contest
will have their essays published in
The Star. The most meritorious COM
positions will be published for the
dual purpose of paying additional
tribute to the winners and to Illus
trateasto the public the familiarity of
the Washington school children with
the developments at the epock max
ing arms conference.
Intensive Study Urged.
No decision has been reached as
to the number of the winning essays
to be published. This point. how
ever, probably will be decided after
the closing Of the contest. the date
for which will be announced later. as
1t will depend upon the adjournment
OF the arms conference.
While awaiting announcement of
the date o. the closing of the contest
the essayists are urged to continue
their intensive study Of the confer
ence proceedings as reported in tho
daily press. Recent developments at
the parley have furnished much val
liable material for the compositions.

valuation. Even If it earned only 4
per cent on Il reduced fare this year,
it would have an average return of
more than S per cent for the four
year period.
Mr.. Clayton asked the commission
to consider the 'advisability of using
busses where additional service is
needed, instead of building new
trackage, until the cost of laying
rail drops lower.
Cooperation in Track Use.
He also asked that the commission
direct the companies to use more
of their tracks interchanEeably
wherever it would improve service.
Mr.. Seymour. for the Chamber of
Commerce. told the commission the
rate Of fare should be uniform on
10th systems. He also asserted that
in fixing the rate of fare the COM
mission should consider the high
quality of service and equipment fur
nished by the Washington COM
Mr.. King, who summed up for the
chamber. said he recently crossed the
continent and. after observing trac-
tion companies in many states. formed
the conclusion that service and equip
ment in the District compare favor
ably with all other cities and are
better than in IS per cent of the
cities he saw.
Mr.. King opposed zone system.
calling attention to the fact that
when the question was considered
last the boardroom of the District
building was packed with protestants
against such a plan.
Washington Topham. representing
the North Washington Citizens AS
sociaticn. made an earnest plea to
the commission to withdraw one
man cars from operation. He said
his association members have de-
clared they will boycott one-man
cars if they are continued in opera
tion on North Capitol street

STARS 81 900 ESSAY CONTEST
GROUPINGS TO BE UNCHANGED
Considered Unfair for Pupils Just Out of
Junior Glass to Submit Senior
Compositions.

Beginning of the second semester in
the District public schools and the
subsequent promoting of pupils to
higher grades do not change the
classification of contestants in The
Stars $1,000 prize essay contest on
the topic, 1.-THE Arms Conference and
It's Significance" A rule has been
made by The Star essay contest editor
that the contestants will be grouped
according to the classes they attended
during the first semester, which
ended Tuesday. ..
Under this ruling if an eighth grade
pupil was grouped in the junior
class when the contest opened. he Will
remain in that class. High school stu
dents who have graduated since the
beginning of the contest Will submit
their essays in the senior class.
Fairness to All IL Aim.
This ruling was made because it
would be manifestly unfair to make
an eighth grade pupil promoted to
high school Wednesday submit his es-
say in the senior class after having
prepared 1t for the junior class. 1t
would be as equally unfair to debar
students who have graduated from

UPSET OF CABINET
D|STURBS ITALY
Resignation of Bonomi Min
istry Leaves No One With
Dependable Support.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME. February 3.-The Italian
political situation has become exceed
ingly perplexing as the result of the
resignation yesterday of the cabinet
of Premier Bonomi. Now that the
Bonomi government is out, there
seems to be no one eligible for the
premiership who can command a
working majority in parliament.
Former Premier Lacks Strength.
Although the name of former Pre-
mier Giolitti. who preceded Bonomi in
office. has been strongly advanced. the
strength of his support is not deem
ed dependable. During his last in
cumbency he depended upon the Cath
olic deputies, but these are now un-
derstood to have deserted him, being
disgruntled because Bonomi w"s
forced out of Office. Giolitti could de-
pend upon the center and the right.
but in the latter he would have to
deal with the fascist. who are not
wholly in sympathy with his recent
statements.
situation vexatiOus.
The situation is more veXatious than
at any previous time since the war.
There is some talk that Gioletti and
former Premier Orlando must com
bine before they can control a suf-
ficicnt majority. A proposed COM
bination Of the Catholic and social
lists has failed, the latter refusing to
go into the government unless in
command.
The constitution of the chamber of
deputies, which comprises widely di-
yereent groups, presets difficulties to
any one attempting to form a govern
ment, for all eligibles have to run
counter to some of these groups and
therefore cannot depend upon their
