The court room was crowded. but
the throngs were thinner and less en-
thusiastic to hear than those which

Under the constitution OF the

Six pages of the report are de-

There was no concerted opposition
throughout the day. Though the
school people were dissatisfied with
the Haynes amendment of Tuesday,
they did not resume the fight they
had so successfully made against the
bill last Saturday. 1t was also stated
that the sta.c highway department
found the bill less Objectionable than
it had been in the form in which it
passed the senate.
Morning Session in Senate
The first proceeding of the morn
ing in the senate was a motion by
Mr.. Curtin for a reconsideration of
the vote by which Substitute House
Bill 43 had failed to receive a two
thirds vote the day before. The mo-
ton was carried and in the after

that it did, and the rules were sus-

committee of the whole.
There was little other business in
the senate which took recess in the
middle of the afternoon, awaiting an
opportunity to communicate with the
house with regard to the amend
ments of the latter to the banking
code. But on account of the engage
ment of the house with the financial
code. that opportunity did not appear
and an adjournment was taken until
10 o'clock this morning.
In the House
The house in the morning session
was informed by the governor of his
approval of the Larson motor reg
ulation bill and the bill providing an
inspection fee for transient herds.
Word was received from the SEN
ate of the latter's amendment to the
Phillips revolving fund act. One of
the amendments raised a question of
some moment. The bill had original
ly provided for special elections on
matters coming under the act 1t
also provided that only the subject
of bonds could be submitted at such
elections. The senate amendment
struck out that provision and limited
the qualification of voters to owners
OF real property. Thus it might hap
pen that other subjects than those
relating to bonds might be submitted.

Coal Miners To
AWait Conference
CONTINUED from Page Onel


comparative statement of steam
railway accidents in the United
States and coal mining accidents in
Pennsylvania
Phillip Murray, vice president Of
the United Mine Workers, who head
ed the miners section Of the sub
committee, offered figures to show
that the mortality rate among the
men was 81 per cent higher than in
other normal basic industries of the
country In 1921, he said, there were
Sal men killed and 26,000 injured to
such an extent that Pennsylvania
paid them compensations. This was
based upon figures of the Pennsyl-
vania state department OF mines.
Insurance companies refuse to pro-
tect an ordinary miner for more than
$3.50 in case of DEATH Mr.. Murray
asserted, and the premium rates, be-
cause of the hazard, are based upon
an age 16 years above that of the per-
son injured. The miners today also
offered testimony in support of their
demands for an eight-hour day for
all under ground workers. 1t was
claimed that under previous contracts
specifying eight hours from bank to
bank" the miner actually spent ten
hours underground, as it took him
two hours each day to get to and
from the bottom of the shaft and the
point of occupation.

Arbuckle's appearance on the wit
ness stand was followed by an argu-
ment over the admissibility of the
evidence of Miss Virginia Breig. Sec
retary to Dir. Francis Wakefield, at
whose sanitarium Miss Rappe died
Sept. 9.
Mrs. Breig testified that she went
to Miss Rappe's room at the sani-
tarium the morning of the day she
died to present the patient with a
bill She said that Miss Rappe
looked at the bill and said that she
really should not pay it as "he was
responsible, for my being here
You can pay the bill after you

for a week or So" the secretary said
she told Miss Rappe.
Il wish I knew ] was going to live
that long" was Miss Rappe's reply,
according to Mrs. Breig. but I'm
going to die" Then Mrs. Breig testi-
fled that Miss Rappe accused Ar
buckle of attacking her. She said
that the girl told her:
''He grasped me by the arms and
then threw me on the bed and threw
his weight on me. After that I knew
nothing" Her testimony was the
first which told of direct attack on
Miss Rappe.
Defense counsel, following Mrs.
Breig's appearance on the stand.
moved that her evidence be stricken
from the record on the grounds that
no proper foundation had been laid
for its Introduction.

In Tariff Bill
Are Completed
Republican A. P. Leased Wire


WASHINGTON. April 5-The work
of rewriting the 100000 odd rates in
the Fordney tariff bill finally was
completed today by the senate fl
nance committee of Republicans.
Consideration Of the technical ad-
ministrative features was begun late
in the day and Chairman McCumber
is hopeful that the bin can be COM
pleted by Saturday.
The big question remaining before
the committee is that of the valua-
tion principle to be written into the
measure. The ad valorem rates. as
now contained in the bill. have been
calculated on a basis OF foreign val-
uation but whether this would be ap-
proved finally remained to be de-
termined.
Some senator's said the sugar
schedule would be reopened, probably
tomorrow, but that aside from this
the rate question was closed. The
committee recently agreed on the
house bill sugar rate Of two cents full
duty sugar and 100 cents Cuba raw,
but American beet and cane sugar
producers are dissatisfied with these
duties. claiming they will not afford
the protection necessary to maintain
the American industry in competition
with that OF Cuba.

MELLON DE MES
CLEANUP RuNOR
IN DEPARTMENT


WASHINGTON. April E--Appre-
tensions which have beset the minds
of the army of government employees
in Washington since President Hard
ings overnight removal of 29 bureau
of engraving officials, were partially
allayed today by Secretary Mellon
who circulated among the personnel
OF the treasury department memo
randum saying that reports of i'm
pending wholesale dismissals in the
internal revenue bureau were without
foundation.
Storis that heads are to fall right
and left in the reorganization of the
internal revenue bureau. Mr.. Mellon
said, did not emanate from any Off
cial source. The secretary's state
ment, however. did not preclude the
possibility that changes may be ex-
pected in bureau and other govern
ment departments as the work of
bringing government service up to
the highest standard of efficiency
continues.
Such changes are predicted by Off
cials.
Some of the rumors that were
started among government employees
by the bureau of engraving order
have considerably unsettled the rou-
tine of some bureau. according to Of
ficials, bcause they have started
many men and women in the service
worrying about possible further ac-
ton which might affect them To-
days memorandum by Secretary
Mellon is expected to improve that
situation. 1t also was indicated after

the changes which are yet to be
made in the treasury personnel will
be accomplished gradually and that
no wholesale dismissals are to be
feared.

treasury employees sid
"My attention has been called TO
the reports which have been appear
ing in the press predicting a general
reorganization of the bureau of in
ternaI revenue and the removal of
certain officers and heads of divi-
sions.
"These reports do not emanate
from any official source and are abb
solutely without foundation. No such
reorganization is now. nor has been
at any time contemplated. 1t is my
desire however, that the efficiecy of
the bureau should be maintained at
the highest possible standard and with
that end in view. l shall expect every
employe of the bureau to give the
commissioner and his duties their
loyal support and complete co-opera-
ton
Louis A. Hill. the new director Of
the engraving bureau, conferred to-
day with President Harding but de-
clined to disclose any details of his
conversation on leaving the White
House. He said, however. that he
had not yet signed for the stock on
hand and was awaiting the results OF
the investigation now being conduct
ed by the department of justice. This
and inventory, he added,
would probably take some weeks.
Discussing reports that there had
been duplication in the numbering of
Liberty bonds, high officials declared
there had been a few Implications
found among the two hundred million
numbers due to lapses in the mechan-
ical number devices, but that no loss
had been occasioned the government
as the bonds were not checked by
number but by individual pieces. and
where duplicates had been issued
payments had been made for them.
Secretary Mellon also conferred
with the President late today but de-
ciined to discuss the subject of the
