MISSING STEWART
 MAN DROWNED


 from his usual haunts in Stew art for several weeks, was solved Monday morning with the finding of his remains by Chas. Knipple in the head waters of Portland Canal, a short distance below the mouth of Bear River.
 The body was lying in shall low water near a float located a short distance from the end of the old wharf.
 Despite the long immersion, the body was in a good state of preservation and easily recog- nizable by those who knew him in life.
 The remains bore no marks indicating violence and it is the general view that the un- fortunate man was the victim of accidental drownding.
 Mckenzie was last seen close to a month ago, when he left the cabin of a friend in Stewart with whom he had been visit ing, to go to one of the stores to make some purchases. He intended to return to spend the rest of the evening with his friends but failed to make his appearance. So. far as could be learned he was not seen afterward until his mud covered corpse was discovered by Mir. Knipple.
 When the body was taken from the water it was found that the pockets and other openings in his clothing were packed with mud. This is be- lieved to indicate that the de- ceased met his death by fall ing into Bear River, the re- mains being carried down stream to tide water.

 Mckenzie was a carpenter by trade and we'll known in Hyder and Stewart.
 The unusual spell of cold weather prevailing during the greater part of two weeks came to an end Saturday but not until it had forced a shut down of several mining operat- ions in the district, seriously crippled the electric light plant; and gave the average householder much worry over the rapid depreciation in the size of the coal pile.
 The Dunwell and Glacier Creek properties, both of which are wholly dependent on water for power, were forced to close down owing to the Glacier Creek feeders freezing solid, and shutting off the supply in the big Hume. At last accounts both properties were still out of commission. The freeze-up also affected such extent that the Diesel en- zines were kept running only through the use of water from the mine workings. The mill was forced to close down for time and a small number of men were laid off.
 The Riverside was also tied up for a time but the trouble was speedily remedied and no serious delay resulted.
 The plant of the Internation- al Electric Go. was kept run ming, but with a serious cur tailment in the volume of "juice." Despite the balmy weather of the past few days, the glacial stream which pro- vides power for the plant is slow in thawing out and the management has decided to supply current for use in Fly der from the old power plant of the Hyder Light Power and Water Go. on Premier Avenue. Current from the local plant will be supplied to consumers from afternoon until midnight, after which the hydro-electric plant will take up the load un- til closing down time in the l morning. This arrangement 1 will probably continue until the company's new 125 K. w. plant on Barney's Gulch is

MINER KILLED
 AT PREMIER

III running a raise Ill the Pre-
 mier Mine was fatally injured
 by an exploding round of shots
 in the mine workings early
 Monday morning and died at
 2 p. m. Monday afternoon in
 the Premier hospital. As the
 unfortunate man was alone in
 the raise at the time, no one
 knows the full details of the
 accident, beyond that Lazzo
 had fired a round of 15 holes
 and was on his way to shelter
 and safety when the shots ex-
 ploded. A mucker whose name
 could not be learned, was at
 work in a short drift below the
 bulkhead but could give no in-
 formation beyond that he
 looked up the raise a few minutes before the accident occurred and saw Lazze com
 ing down. The deceased was then only a few feet from the
 drift. He says he spoke to Laz-
 ze and was told by the latter that he had spit" meaning that he had lighted the fuses.
 A few moments later Lazze appeared at the entrance to the drift and was in the act of entering when the blast-oc- cured. According to the help CT the concussion was so great that he was lifted bodily and
 hurled to the far end of the drift, sustaining slight bruises and scratches but no serious injury. He heard only one shot, he says, and does not know what happened afterward. Lazze at that moment had thrust his lower limbs into the shelter of the drift and was in the act of entering. According to the mucker's statement, Lazze seemed in no great hur- ry and appeared to believe that he had ample time to es- cape. This has suggested the surmise that the blast occurred somewhat prematurely, poss- ibly as a result of Lazze cut ting the fuse too short or be- cause of defective fuse. The raise in Iykich the accident oc- cured is a new working being run between No. 4 and No. 6 levels. Although surviving for more than twelve hours after the accident, Lazze's injuries were of a character that would usually cause almost instan- taneous death, his head being crushed and his back and shoulders severely lacerated, one arm being almost torn from the body.
 The deceased was an Italian and had the reputation of be- ing one of the best miners on the Premier crew. He was aged about 40 years and is by a brother, who is also employed by the Premier Company, and other relatives;
 The remains were brought to town Tuesday evening and placed in charge of undertak- CT Merl Thomas and will be shipped to Prince Rupert for burial Thursday.

DAY IN CONGRESS
One OF TRIBUTES FOR
WOODROW wilson

Washington, Feb. (By A. Ply
The claEor of partisan dissension
was stilled in congress today in def
erence to the passing of Woodrow
Wilson.
Neither in senate nor house was
any speech made or any action taken
except with the purpose of paying
tribute to the dead.
On the senate floor. where so Of
ten in past years the foreign policies
OF the fallen president have been the
center of bitter contention. those of
all parties joined in eXtolling the
qualities of high idealism that guild
ed him through the dark days of
the great war.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. lead
er of the Republicans and arch
enemy of the League of Nations, was
one of those who spoke in praise of
Wilson the man. He said he had
felt in common with others very
deep sympathy" for the sufferings
of Mr.. Wilson during his long i'll
ness. and shared the general feeling
of profound sorrow at his death.
He described the former president
as "a man of remarkable ability and
of strong character" to whose lot 1t
had fallen ito play the leading part
in the unspeakably difficult work of
making pcate."
Tho Democratic senate leader,
Senator Robinson, Of Arkansas,
| enlogiZed Mr.. Wilson as fit for n
place among the renowned of all
ages
Leaders in great crises" he said,
edo not depend on favor for renown.
Earnestness is indeed the path to
Immortality"
Both Senator Lodge and Sena tor
Robinson will serve on committee
designated to represent the senate at
the funeral services.
In the house the war president was
eulogized by Representative Long
worth. of Ohio, the Republican lead
er, as a great figure whose passing
would be mourned throughout the
civilized world. and by Representa-
tive Garrett, leader on the Demo-
cratic side. as one who had walked
on heights untouched before by
human feet"
Both senate and house adjourned
after adopting joint resolution re-
cording the profound sensibility and
sorrow" of congress over the removal
of the former chief executive The
senate will not meet again until
Thursday but the house will sit to-
morrow and probably also on We'd
neSday, since the majority leaders do
not regard adjournment on the flu
neral day as appropriate in view of
the absence of state ceremonies a
committee to represent the house
at the funeral will he named by
Speaker Gillett tomorrow

Judge Rules on
Right to Search
Private Dwellings,

Boston, Feb. A warrant for
the search of a resident for liquor
may be issued only on evidence of
the sale of liquor there. United
States District Judge Brewster ruled
today in dismissing the case of An
thony Palma of Revere, charged
with unlawful manufacture of liq-
uor. \ warrant for the search of
palma's house issued when pro-
hibition agent made oath that he
'smelled distillation' when standing
in the street nearby. In the result
ant search the agents claimed they
found a large distilling plant.
While admitting that the decision
would increase the difficulty of APP
pretending and furnishing those who
manufacture liquor in their homes.
the judge said it was the duty OF
congress to correct what may be
an obvious defect in the law" He
added:
IL am unable to adopt the view
that because n man sees fit to carry
on an unlawful enterprise in his
home he thereby destroys the char
acter of the house as his dwelling
place =. The search warrant is
the most drastic instrument which
can be placed in the hands o. the
office and when legislation is en-
acted extending the right to search
and seize in private dwellings, the
courts ought to lend their sanction
to any Interpretation of this legisla-
ton which will extend the right be-
yond the clear and obvious intent
thereof"

BUDGET REVENUE
PRESENTS PROBLEM
FOR FRENCH PEOPLE

Paris. Feb. AZ By A. P.)-The
difficulties the government is en-
countering in it's efforts to balance
the extraordinary budget by new
taxes and economies are visibly
growing as discussion of the meas
ures proceeds in the chamber of
deputies. The opposition heretofore
has been chiefly confined to the So
cialists and communists, whose at
tacks on the government are taken
as matter of course. Today. how
ever, Andre Lefevre, former minis
ter of war and a strong supporter
of the government on all other
measures, declared that he would
not vote authorization to make
economies by decree.
M. Lefevre's Intervention made a
strong impression and was an indi-
cation that the premier is losing
part of his faithful majority.
Thus far the opposition only has
been heard, and those who will
speak tomorrow are also against the
measures. and the question was 60
ing around the Hobbies this after
noon as to whether any deputies
really favored the bills.
The socialists continued to show
themselves keen defenders of the
constitution. NJ. Boncour, former
minister of labor. declared that il
the chamber was Indifferent with
regard to its prerogatives, he was
sure the senate was more vigilant
If the senate yielded, he was certain
President Millerand would veto the
decree laws.
NJ. Lafonte declared that laws by
decree meant d Fascist dictatorship.
M. Boncour remarked that if they
were passed the news would be
quickly telegraphed to Rome. NJ
Poincare interrupted with a Request
that Nj. Eoncour respect foreign gov
ernments
a clear majority of the chamber
applauded the opposition arguments
of NJ. BOncour and Lefevre. but the
friends OF the government assert
that when the premier has his turn
in the debate the old ma jority will
be found again, with few defections
1t is understood that NJ. Poincare
will fatty fix responsibility on the
chamber for any further deprocia-
ton of the franc if it refuses to vote
the measures proposed.

Washington. Feb. 4.--tBy A. P.)--
Steps to suspend all activities of the

cry of law passed in 1898 expressly
providing that executive departments
OF the government may not he closed

An executive order closing the de-
pa rtmcnts was written out yesterday

date of the funeral was learned. Pres
ident Coolidge was on the point of
signing it today when the 1898 law was
discovered.
, Several suggestions as to a way out
Of the difficulty were discussed. One
was that each department head inform
the employees under him that they need
not report for work, thereby actually
but not technically closing the depart

SCATTER AS Federal
FORCES ADVANCE

Mexico City. Feb. 4.-(By A. Ply
President Obregon's hope for decisive
battle with the rebels on the shores of
the Yoriria lagoon, near Vale de SAN
tiago. was not realized. for the revolu-
tionists retreated after an unimportant
skirmish with the federal vanguard
early Sunday morning. The forces of
the rebel general Manuel NJ. Dicguez
dispersed in numerous bands over a
vast area. probably with the purpose of
counteracting the combined movement
against him by the federal generals
Gonzalo Escobar and Juan Jone Rios.
Escoba was in front of the rebels
with the task of cutting off their ad-
vance toward Guadala lara. while Rios
was in the rear of the rebels driving
from Salvaticrra in order to cut off the
retreat toward Morelia. These advices
are contained in reports received today
from federal aviators.
Only skirmishcs arc expected to take
place in the states of Michoacan and
Jalisco, and President Obregon is be-
ing forced to organize plans for relent-
less pursuit until the revolutionists are
operations are expected to he long and
tedious owing to the extreme rough
ness of the country.
Federal aviatOrs have received or
Gers constantly to fly over the re-
treating insurgents.
