tend the word of welcome 10 ths dele gates and because he comes from the state of Warren Harding. The President also intends to select the permanent chairman of the eonten- tion, the person who will place him in nomination, and to draw the outlines | of the platform. As pointed out pre- fvi0usIy in these dispatches, Coolidge intends to direct the convention and the campaign himself and will refuse to abdicate in favor of amy such party regency as ruled during the Harding campaign. Thus far, there appecrs to be no group within the regular organiza- tion to challenge the Presidents cons trol.
 Complete sDomintion Coolidge has reached this stage of complete domination by such quiet, easy steps, that the public, and even the politicians, scarcely have been aware of it..
 When the President moved into tho White House less than nine months ago, the Republican organization still was suffering shell shock from she losses incurred in the fall election of 1922 The Republicans were able to hold only titular control of Congress, both houses passing into the hands of the Demo- craticsRepublican insurgent coalition. Hiram Johnson was gathering his for ces to challenge Coolidge for the nomi. nation.
 But from the day he read his first presidential message to Congress, he began to gain strength within the Re publican organization. Despite the em- barrassments of the oil scandals, his difficulties oyer several important ap- pointments. his failures to get his most important legislative recommendations through Congress, the President has steadily frightened his grip on the party organization. Those who were suspected of heresy, even to the slightest degree, were guillotined Pinchot and Sena- tor Moses, for instance vthe party work CTS clambered up on the Coolidge band wagon and even Henry Ford hitched on his trailer.

PINCHOT FAvORs SURVEY
Urges Nation To Prepare or Water,

WASHINGTON BUREAU

| (WASHINGTON BUREAU | WASHINGTON, D. C., April a. The provision in the pending rivers and harbors bill authorizing an inquiry into the cost of a national survey of rivers for the entertainment of potential waterpower, which was written as a result of the petition of the Alabama rivers of Alabama be so surveyed, met the hearty approval today of Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania.
 "Unquestionably," he said, "we should prepare for the waterpower era that is coming. We should map out national program in accordance with the ideas of the people. If we wait the time when all power is in the hands of corporations, we will be confronted by a problem as difficult as was the rail- road problem. S
 ''The time will come and soon when entire country will be covered by a. network of interconnecting transmission lines. If the people, rather than the corporations, take charge of the situa- tion in the present, many obstacles to dopestic happiness and business pros- perity will be eliminated. Electricity will make it unnecessary for the people to consregate in large cities. It will cover the country with innumerable rural communities wherein the comforts of life may be obtained. It will solve the labor problem. It will mean ev- erything to health, wealth and happi- ness" set
 Governor PinchOt. before the Senate committee on agriculture. criticized the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals He urged that Congress be slow to en- ter into any contract because of the ''undreamed possibilities of tomorrow.
 The witness was not moyed--though not displeased-by Senator Heflin's references to the fight of the trusts against the Ford offer, and the alleged effort of Secretary Mellon, aluminium king" to prevent ''ruinous competition at Muscle Shoals
 That is all chicken food, even if true. as doubtless it is." said Pinchot Tt is nothing in comparison with what Muscle Shoals, if properly employed, holds in promise for the industrial and lcommercial south.'

 The substance Of Zucxerman's di- rect testimony was that he paid Mic EvOy money for protection, that the sheriff's office kept raiding him when he bought his liquor from one man and that Donaghue told him that if he bought his liquor from McEvoy he would not beSraided. that he signed and later paid -$250 of the $3,OO0 Caza- las campaign note, that he contributed SiOO to the campaign fund of George Crawford for city commissioner after he had been raided once by Hubbard and Howell. that McEvoy said BoyIes could be fixed" for, $4,000 and that he collected $2,500 of this fund and that McEvoy said Boyless said any thing Harry French did was ''all right"
 Cross examination of Zuckerman was not completed today, Attorney Me Crovery alone among the defense at torneys questioning him. Under exam ination by ,McCorvey, Zuckerman said he never gave Sheriff Cazalas "a nickel" and that so far as he knew the sheriff was innocent of corruption in connection with the alleged rum ring He also said he never heard of liquor in connection with Bob Holcombe. Adjourn For Game

Fallen Rock And Rising Water Delay Rescue
 Crews

WHEELING, w. Va, April D. The battle against high water, fallen rock and poison gas in the Benwood Mill mine of the Wheeling Steel cor poration where Ill miners were en- tombed by gas explosion yesterday, centered tonight in the passages lead: ing from the Browns Run air shafts as fatigued rescue crews pushed for ward over almost insurmountable Ob- stacles in their search for bodies of the victims.
 Thirty-five bodies had been removed Rescue crews had located three others in the workings and were progressing slow ly toward one section where other miners were working at the time of the blast. There was no expectation that any of them would be found alive.
 Browns Dun air shaft, three miles in the hills above Benwood, is almost inaccessible. There are no houses, and tents were hurriedly pitched for the rescue crews. Their supplies were taken by horse and wagon over an unim- proved clay road made almost impass- able by heavy rains.
 4 relief committee was organized to- day to give assistance to the families of the victims.

GARY FORESEES
 BUSINESS GAIN
 AFTER ELECTION
First Quarter Earnings of Steel Corporation
 Total $5O,O75,445

NEW YORK. April %. Substantial improvement in business after election or perhaps a month before, was pre- dicted today by Ebert H. Gary, chair man of the United States Steel cor; cor; poration, in announcing that the com com pany's earnings for the first quarter of 1g24 totailed $50, ,075, ,445. This rep resented an increase of $116. .465 over the last three months of 1923, and $l5,- 2g5.376 over the corresponding period last year.
 Estimating the extent of the current recession in trade. Mir. Gary said he believed new business Ton April l was At least 10 per cent less than four or s;x weeks before, and that the first of May would sec further drop of from 5 to 10 per cent.
 Extra Dividend Declared
 Directors of the steel corporation to- day declared an extra dividend of 90 cents a share in addition to the regu- lar quarterly payment of 114 per cent on tbe common stock This action, the same as taken in the preceding quar- ter. the head of the corporation ex- plained, did not justify the assumption that the stock had been placed on a [ per cent annual basis. The policy of the corporation, outlined in 1912. he said. was to. nay per cent annually, with extra dividends as conditions war ranted. .s.
 AFundamental conditions were never better. asserted hfr. Gary, in explain ing that he saw no good reason for a depression of business in this country. Although one occurrence or another, political or otherwise, has caused slight Interruptions to trade, there has been no. really good ground for any business man to become frightened or to lose confidence in future prospects for pros perity."
 Expenditures of not less than SC, 300, GOO or $7 900 900 month by the Unit ed State Steel corporation in improving and expanding it's properties. said its chairman, showed the confidence of the management in the future of business mot for the next week or the, next month, but for the next several years.
 Nation To Prosper
 '.This country is never going into the hands. of receiver, if any country in the world can survive" he declared. We have decided advantage oyer ev- cry other country. God has. given us an opportunity to prosper and nothing can -take it away except our own stu pidity or mismanagement."
 Commenting on reports of price con sessions in the steel industry, MT. Gary said that the corporation favored a pol icy of stability in prices, and that it would only reduce them in order to meet competition. At the same time, he explained, prices would not be in- creased simply on sudden revival of demand. No demand has been made for higher wages by employees, he stated.

|TANLESS TABLE | k LABOR'S GOAL
 | IN FIRST BUDGET
No Change Made In Brit. aims Heavy Levy On
 Incomes
By CHARLES M. M'CANN g(f,eased Wire To Ake.Herald)

LONDON, April % Britain6 first budget under the laborite regime, is aimed at achieving .the taxless break fast, table.
 The outstanding feature of the bnd- get is that there is not q single new or increased duty. It is proposed that the duty on sugar be reduced penny a half pound, and that duties on tea, coffee, cocoa and chicory also be re- duced. The duty on tea is now below it's pre-war level.
 To Aid The Masses
 There is parallel between labor's budget effort and the Washington fight over taxes, namely the contest in both countries as to what share of the bur- dens should be carried by the rich and how much by the middle class. The labor budget, while providing food re- ductions to aid the masses makes no change in the heavy income or super taxes here.
 American manufacturers will profit if Britain follows the Laborite recorn- mendations that the so-called Me- Kenna duties" be renewed until Au- gust Il, and then expire. These are duties on automobiles. pianos, watches and films. The. protectionist tories are strongly against dropping them.
 Phillip Sngwden, Labor Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the new budget Tuesday in the House of Com mons in forty-five minute speech.

 WASHINGTON, April 29. 9.One of the wonders Of tRe hour ia the ease with which President Coolidge. in his silent, unobstrusive way, has closed his grip tightly around the Republican or ranization. to degree which has amazed the old-lins politicians of the party.
 Two developments Tuesday served to emphasize the completeness with which Coolidge now dominates the Republican landscape:
 Johnson ill Again
 1 Senator Hiram Johnson, Coolidge's s only opponent for the nomination, an- nounced that physical difficulties had compelled him to abandon his Indiana speaking tour and that his plans for his campaign after the Indiana pri- maries one week hence are uniformed. This was taken to forecast an abnntloii- ment of the fight which has for weeks been regarded as futile by all except possibly Johnson himself.
 2 The President announced that se- lection of Representative Bdfton of Ohio, as temporary chairman of the Cleveland convention was at his sug. gestion and that he was the first to propose Burton,
 This latter announcement was made at the White House in reply to reports that Burton had been named by the Adams group of the Republican na- tional committee over Coolidges pro- test. These reports arose when it was gossiped about what the Presidents s two personal advisors, William N. But Ter and Frank w. Stearns,. opposed Burton. The inference was that Cool idge shared their views and sought to name Hughes.
 To Extend<s pelcome
 Incidentally, it was indicated that the President attaches little importance to the keynote functions of the tenn porary chairman. Burton was chosen, not only because the President held him in high regard, but because he lives in Cleveland aIii is in position to eA

CHICAGO, April % Bohemia. ashamed or curious, put on its best clothes Tuesday and turned out for the funeral of Wanda Stopa. the girl who gave up a career in law for studio life. and who finally killed herself over the man she loved but could not have.
 The dead girls mother relented just before the hour for the simple funeral rites arrived and permitted members of Chicago's various art colonies who had known Wanda in life, to enter the house. Outside, crowd of. more than 10000 persons milled while police reserves struggled with the tilrongs that blocked the street in the vicinity of the Stopa home.
 Poets and artists, writers and bobbed- haired young women, of various oecupa- tions, filed past the bier where Wanda's h0dy iay. Some of them wept. Pauline Cohen, vaudeville actress, who had been befriended by Wanda on one oc- -IiSion, burst iT.to tears ls she bent over the casket.
 "I1l be with. you soon; you were my best friend" the young woman sobbed. She became hysterical and had 10 he led from las tfvOus.
 Twice during the short service at the house, Mrs. Stopa, the girls mother, collapsed.
 When the little procession bearing Wanda's body started from the hoGse to the Bohemian national cemetery, hundreds fell in behind. Police reserves had to be called out again at the grave, While Wanda's body was being low. cred into its last resting place, ar lists, writers, and others who had known the girl, tossed flowers into the grave.
