BOTANIC GARDEN BILL
ORDERED REPORTED
House Committee Approves Senate
Measure Appropriating
$1,o00,000.

The House rules committee today
ordered a favorable report on the
Senate bill providing for acquiring
land to extend the United States
Botanic Garden and building on the
acquired land a new conservatory.
This was one of three measures
urged for special consideration by
the House committee on public build
ings and grounds. The bill would
authorize whatever appropriation is
necessary for acquiring the LAND,
600, and an appropriation of 100000
for building the proposed new con-
servatory.
In arguing for the special rule Rep
resentative Elliott of Indiana, acting
for the House committee on public
buildings and grounds, emphasized
that the present conservatory is un-
safe, and that while the Botanic Gar
den now has large appropriation for
repair of the conservatory, that build
ing is in such condition as not to war
rant the expenditure of the funds for
repair.
During the hearing in was brought
out that the governments program
contemplates development south of
the Capitol to the river as a link In
the parkway system; that most of tho
land in that locality is already gov
ernment-owned and that two small
strips proposed for acquisition under
this legislation are desirable in order
to link the present site of the garden
with this property which is to be de-
veloped south of the Capitol
Chairman Smell of the rules COM
mittee said that he will endeavor to
have this measur6 brought up at the
earliest possible date when it will
not interfere with more important
general legislation.

Belgian Plea for Swift Application
of Settlement Terms Resisted

ULTIMATE ACCORD PREDICTED

PARIS, April s.-Divergencies in
the French and Belgian viewpoints
over the method of procedure in ap
plying the report of the reparation
experts are reported to have devel-
oped in a conference held here today
pa anticipated in by Premier Theunis
and Foreign Minister Hymans of Bel
gium and Premier Poincare of France
After the morning session of the
conferees at the foreign office, which
was followed by a luncheon in the
same building, the Belgian diplomats
maintained the strictest silence as to
what had taken place. declaring that
any information must come from the
French. whose guests they are. From
other Belgian sources, however, came
information that divergent viewpoints
had been disclosed.
More Discussion Needed.
I'VE shall be obliged to talk, dis
cuss and reason before our view
points which are in no way irrecon-
cilable, can be made to agree" was
the statement which came from Bel
gian sources just after the luncheon
this noon.
Neither NJ Ter-Linden nor NJ. Davig-
non, secretaries, respectively, of
Premier Theunis and Minister Hy-
mans, were allowed in the conference
room, where heretofore they always
have been in attendance during con-
yersations between the French and
Belgian premiers. The luncheon that
followed, however. assumed the char
acter of a general meeting of Franco
Belgian authorities, political, econom-
ical, commercial and military.
Marshal Foch, President Barthou of
the reparation commission, Paul Tir-
ard. head of the interallied Rhineland
commission; Jacques Seydoux, eco
nomic adviser of the foreign Office,
and M. de Perett de la Rocca, director
of political and commercial affairs of
the foreign Office, were present for
France. NJ. de la Croix and Camille
Gutt, the two Belgian delegates on
the reparation commission, and Baron
De Gaffier d'Hestroy, Belgian ambas-
sador in Paris, assisted by NM. Theunis
far as to tell the correspondents that
the Belgians' visit to Paris was "ex-
ceIlent from all standpoints."
BeIginns Urge Speed
In the conference MN. Theunis and
Hymans outlined the Belgian view
points, urging that all speed possi-
BILE be made to realize the sugges-
tions of the experts. The Belgians
argue that only the promptest reali-
zation of the experts plan will create
a good impression upon the outside
world, tired as it is of haggling and
the continuous holding of confer
ences. Their idea is that the allies
must agree as soon as possible and
without restrictions or provisos.
Premier Poincare, however, is said to
be not so insistent upon speeding up
the settlement. now that the date of
the French elections is SO near at
hand.
Premier Theunis will leave for
Brussels this evening. But Foreign
Minister Hymans will remain behind
and probably will meet M. Poincare
tomorrow.

The falling curve of the Senate
investigations reached a new low
level today. 1t was one of the
few investigation holidays in
weeks.
The committee inquiring into
the indictment of Senator Wheeler
did not meet, both the Daugherty
and oil committees were occupied
with other things, while the rev.

OFFICER ON TRAIL
OF NAL DAUGHERTY
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms. With
Warrant, Leaves Washington
Court House.
Rr The Associated Pns-

by the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Ohio, April 2S.-John ]. McGrain,
deputy sergeant-at-arms at the
United States Senate. who arrived
last night with a warrant for the
arrest of NJ. S. Daugherty, brother of
former Attorney General Harry NJ.
Daugherty, left this morning on a
westbound train, without announcing
his destination. He was accompanied
by John Logan and N. p. Clyburn,
counsel for Mr.. Daugherty, and it is
believed the three were going to Gin
cinnati, where, it was thought, Mr..
Daugherty will accept service of the
warrant, which cites him before the
bar of the Senate for contemnt
Speculation is that Daugherty chose
to accept service of the warrant in
Cincinnati, so that he could start
legal proceedings to checkmate it in
the federal court there. According to
attorneys, Daugherty has two legal
recourses; he may institute habeas
corpus proceedings or ask an injunc-
tion preventing his arrest on the
grounds that it would be illegal.
McGrain was told last night by
Daugherty's counsel that the bank
president would be in his office today.
According to McGrain the action
against the Ohioan is the first of its
kind since 1900.
The warrant was issued because
Daugherty failed to answer sub
poena to appear before the Senate
committee Investigating the regime
of Harry NJ. Daugherty as attorney
general, and because he refused to
permit a special subcommittee of the
Senate, composed of Senator's Wheeler
and Brookhart to examine records of
the Midland National Bank of this
city. Daugherty is president OF the
bank.
The warrant provides that Daugh-
crty be taken wherever found" and
produced to answer such questions
pertinent to the matter under in
quiry as the Senate may direct.

also was sent to the scene.
The explosion occurred about three
miles back from the drift mouth.
Scores Of men, women and children
soon massed on a slope facing the
entry. They stood in a drizzle of
rair. squirting on the rescuers, who
were digging franticaIly at the mass
of rock which blocked the way into
the mine.
Rescuers Driven Back.
Clouds of smoke drifted from the
rescue crews were driven back.
Entries to the mine, which is a
drift mouth, were blocked by falling
rock and debris, further hindering
the work of rescuers. Deadly fumes
are sweeping through the blocked
entries.
More than two hundred toilers
from nearby mines rushed to Ben
wood when word of the disaster
spread. Their first task was to clear
the entries so that rescuers could go
in. The rock and debris, blocking the
way was attacked with picks and
dynamite.
Among those trapped underground
was George Holiday, the fire boss,
who went in this morning to see that
all was safe.
Within an hour after news of the
suburb of Wheeling, the Wheeling
Chapter of the American Red Cross
had started a corps of doctors and
nurses for the scene. The Red Cross
relief staff is under the leadership of
DIR. Harry M. Hall, member of the
executive committee of the Wheeling
chapter, and the nurses are in charge
of Miss Katherine Faville, registered
nurse.
B. A. Harlan, disaster relief director
for the Washington division of the Red
Cross, talked with the Wheeling chap
ter officials at 1 pm. this afternoon
They report that latest word from the
mine, located five miles from Wheeling,
is that 107 men are entombed. The
mine is owned by the Wheeling Steel
Corporation. Red Cross chapters at
Moundsville and other nearby cities
have telegraphed the Wheeling chapter
offering doctors, nurses and relief
supplies.
The Red Cross today offered all
necessary medical assistance to the
injured and is continuing relief to
families of miners entombed in the

Red Cross doctors and nurses from
Wheeling have been dispatched to
