Washington, Nov. 24-The house
was converting an hour earlier today
to give more time for members de-
string to speak during the remain
ing two days of general debate on
the administration shipping bill be-
fore the measure is laid before the
house for amendment for three days
beginning Monday.
The measure was defended and as
sailed in a total of five speeches de-
Iivered on the floor yesterday, with
Chairman Green of the merchant ma
rine committee, which framed it, and
representative Edmunds of Pennsyl-
vania. ranking republi dean member,
making the principal arguments in
lis support. The committee chair
man dwelt on the broad benefits
whicR he believed would accrue to
the country through operation Of the
legislation, while Mr. Edmunds went
into a detailed explanation of the
bill and answered numerous ques-
tons on it.
The democrats furnished sur
prise in selecting a republican, Rep
resentative John M. Nelson, of Wis
consin, to lead off for the opposition
in a speech in which he warned re-
publican leaders that if they would
"ho,d the party together they must
go out to the masses and not to the
ship profiteers."
Representative Bankhead, Alaba-
ma, democratic member of the mer-
chant marine committee, following
Mr.. Nelson, characterized the bill as
a "monstrosity" and asserted it
meant that concerns operating ships
for their own benefit, such as the
Standard Oil Company and the Unit
ed Fruit Company would be "handed
four or five million dollars annually
out of the treasury, just for the pri-
viege of hauling their own stuff.

Sixteen Bodies Not Yet
Identified Lying in
Morgue
MINE BEING REPAIRED
Graves Are Dug in Many
Cemeteries About the
District

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 24-The
Birmingham district today prepared
to lay to rest the first of it's eighty
four dead whose lives were snuffed
out Wednesday by an explosion of
coal dust in Dolomite Mine number
three, of the Woodward Iron Com
pany, 16 miles west of this city. The
dead belong to the district, for vir-
tually every settlement and city is
represented in the casualty list, and
graves were being dug today in near
ly every little cemetery between
Birmingham, Bessemer, Ensley and
the mine.
Sixteen of the victims in an under
taking establishment in Bessemer,
where yesterday and last night men
worked increasingly to prepare the
seventy five bodies there for burial,
had not been identified early today.
One was white man and the other
fifteen negroes. Identification of
some of the negroes was declated
virtually impossible because the fac
es were burned almost beyond recog-
milton.
At the mine where the only evil
dence visible of the disaster was the
charred wood work of the concrete
tipple fired by the blast as the flame
spouted from the slope, repairs were
being made with the expectation that
coal production woul& be resumed
Monday.
Many of the miners were burned
by the explosion or disabled by the
fatal after-damp declare that as soon
as they were able to resume work |
they will return to the mine. 1t had
been in operation since 1882 without
a serious accident until Wednesday |
ard the fsaster then was due to cir
cumstances observed only twice be-
fore in this country, according to re-
cords of local mining experts. The
mine is what is known as "gas free
and to prevent the accumulation of
coal dust another dangerous element
its equipment includes an automatic
sprinkler system, Chich constantly
keeps it damp. A string of coal /
dumps being hauled up the tipple,
broke loose, drorped eight hundred
feet down the incline and the impact
when they reached the bottom Great
ed co!uds of coal dust. The crash
severed high tension electric cable
and the flash ignited the explosive
dust.
Eighty two of the ATS men in Che
mine were killed outright by the eX-
plosion or asphyXiated by the after
damp. And of the sixty burned or
overcome by gas, two died few
hours later. -

Makes Notes for Speech,
But Never Refers to
Them
SCORE SOME SENATORS
Says Hitchcock and Bo-
rah Dare Not Go to
France for Info.
(By Associated Pressl

Boston, Nov. 24.-The Tiger of
Frnaec Iashed back at his critics in
the senate today in the first Ameri-
can interview granted the Associated
Press, replying particularly to the
criticisms of Senators Hitchcock and
Borah.
Referring to Senator Hitchcock's
Characterization of him as a militia
rist,' Clemenceau dared Senator
Hitchcock to go to France and learn
the facts.
Boston, Nov. 24.-Georges Glenn
enceau, war premier of France, was
u pat dawn today putting the finish
ing touches on the second formal ad-
dress of his American tour, which he
will deliver at o'clock this afternoon
at fremont temple.
Seated before his inevitable pot of
cold tea, with his battered gray skull
cap on at rakish angle, he worked
for more than an hour on his notes at
small table in the home of F. L..
Higginson, Jr. What he does with
the notes after he has prepared them
no one knows. He never refers to
them when he is speaking, but he al
ways makes them.
Refreshed by his nights sleep the
Tiger appeared even more jubilant
today than he was yesterday over the
enthusiastic reception given him by
Boston and other cities between here
and New York.
He declared that even if his "mis-
sion" of winning American hearts for
France failed, which he was confident
it would not, he always would treas
ure the memories of the welcome he
had on this "last mission of his life"
There was nothing on the Tigers
program for today except the speech.
What he would do no one in his party
could say.

New York, Sept 2S. - By adding another pennant to the string that has futtered from the flag pole at the Polo Grounds, John Joseph Me Graw becomes more securely esconced in his title of Napoleon of Baseball" :"
 Short, stocky, dapper, rudy faced and gray headed, McGraw looks more like a successful broker than pro- fessiona athlete. He appears as what the clothing ads classify as smart, and if ever some twists shears him of success and reason he can get a job posing for an oil painting of cigar cite smoker or the latest in collars.
 His career is remarkable but not surprising It was a sane, steady march to the heights of his profession, intercepted now and then by some flight of temperament or of temper. but it has all been in one direction. He is in the logical place for such a logical man to occupy
