WASHINGTON.-A gigan-
tic bond fraud involving high
government and treasury Off
Gals threw Washington into
another fit Of political delirium
tremens when Charles B. Brew
er, special assistant attorney
general, uncovered evidence of
q duplication Of liberty bonds
running into millions of dollars.
Where will the graft orgy stop
at? Is the question now asked In the
hotel lobbies at Washington. Almost
the entire Coolidge cabinet is in.
vclved already in the War Veterans
Bureau and Teapot Dome scandals.
Now the probers have reached the
treasury.
CONSERVATION reigns in official cir
cles. Nobody knows where the next
bcrAb Is going to fall.
Evidence of duplication Of Lib
erty bonds was examined by a con-
gressional committee yesterday. The
committee will decide:
L. Whether Brewers evidence
should be presented to a grand jury
at once. or
2.-Whether congressional in
vestigation will precede court action.
Those who have followed Brewers
investigation for more than a year

tic.- They say 4 is more likely to

WIDOWS STAY AT
FLOODED CRAVE.
OF IRON WORKERS.
Survivors in Disaster
Suffer in Bitter Cold

CROSBY, Minn.-While the punps
which have been working ever since
the Milford mine was flooded. when
the bottom of Foley lake dronned
into the mine were keeping IN their
steady pumping to drain the foodad
galleries, the wives and families of
the miners who were killed kept a
vigil In the next shafthead. Thirty
four widows and more than 100
orphans have been standing at the
mine head waiting.
They are keeping a hopeless
watch. It is estimated that It will
take at least three weeks for the
two electric pumps, which are at
work to pump the mine dry and
transfer the water almost mile to
another lake.
But nothing can convince the
wives Of the men who were killed to
leave the scene Of the disaster. The
women stand silent except when thew
must hush the cries Of the children.
Keep Vigil In Cold.
A driving north wind and blind
ing sleet snow clouded the bare hills
near the Milford mine. The mer-
curry is below zero but the women
and children continue to stand and
watch the water being pumped from
the mine.
The homes Of the miners are as
cherries and bare as the cold hills.
Many of them have little food and
less coal. The homes are mere shan
ties covered with tar paper.
The men who tend the pumps
work in short shifts because of the
bitter cold. When they pass the
| women who stand at the shaft house
they ask them to 90 to their homes.
but are greeted with silence. The
seven men who escaped death in the
mine are the hardest workers at the
pumps.
Gave Life For Fellows.
They remember the heroic action
OF Clinton Harris, shipman of the
mine, who was working on the low
est level Of the mine when the flood
broke. He stood at his post sound
ing the bell which warned the others
of danger and called to them to run
till the slime and water had engulfed
him. Everybody "on the range" Is

they felt plainly visible on their
faces.
For the most part, the families
of the dead will have to depend
on charity for food and coal. The
slim wages of the iron miners did
not permit any saving.

men killed were affected. Mrs. Cole
sits with her seven months old baby
on her lap, and her four year old

the disaster. She goes to the little
two-room shanty that is her home
and prepares food for her two chill
dren. Then she comes back to the
shafthead and sits. At night she
puts the children TO bed and comes
to sit and wait.
