House Rules Committee Is

Prospects for the passage Of

swings into the final phase Of the
present session.
The House rules committee to-
day failed to take action on the
request of the District Committee
for special rule for consideration

Unwilling TO Grant Time.
This action of the COMMITTEES wal

was unwilling to grant the rule
for any District legislation, except
in case OF pressing emergency In
view of the fact that there remains
only one District Day before ad-
iournment on March a, the Rules
Committee probably will refuse to
recognize an emergency.
There is still "a chance that the
District Committee may reach an
agreement with House leaders to
have Speaker Gillett recognize the
chairman or acting chairman Of the
committee and bring up the bill
under a Suspension of the rules.
The fact that the bill has been
releeated to third place on the next
District Day calendar makes II
probable that the House will re-
fuse to remain in session long
enough to pass this bill. The traf'
fic and school buildings bills, which
have been given priority, may take

Split IN THIRD
PARTY ranks
IS SEEN
Big Railroad Organizations
May Not Attend Conferences
at Chicago

A bitter fight has broken out
among the followers of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette in the
course of their efforts to estab.
lish a permanent third party in
the United States, it was learned
today.
The clash, which has been waged
behind the scenes for weeks, will
come to head and be settled on
the floor of the convention OF
the conference for Progressive
Political Action, meeting in Chi
cago a week from Saturday.
Socialists, the Issue.
Participation of Socialists in the
third party movement is chief
point ove- which the Progressives
are wrangling. The Socialist party
was invited to the conference, and
has accepted.
Labor organizations, including the
powerful railroad brotherhoods
have decided that they will not &c
along with a new party il the
Socialists are given representation
The probabilities, moreover, are
that labor Will not go along under
any conditions.
Whether the rail unions even
will go to the conference will be
determined definitely at a meeting
in Chicago next week. Should they
be represented it is the belief thai
they will vigOJ ously oppose launch
ing the proposed party on a per
manent basis.
Opposition BY Farmers.
Large farm organizations also
have froWned officially on the
party. Farm representatives wha
backed Senator La Toilette expect
to attend the convention and vote
against the third party.
These two groups are the largest
in the conference. In their hands
rests almost entirely the fate OF
the new movement. Should they
vote adversely. even the most
sanguine Progressive admit that
the third party will be dealt a
crippling blow.

Takes Full Responsibility, He
Tells cummins, Urging
Prompt Confirmation

~ sAs
President Coolidge today called
on the Administration forces Of
the Senate to wage 4 finish fight
for confirmation of Charles b
Warren, Of Detroit, as Attorney
General.
This was the message carried
to the Senate by Senator Cum
minis, Republican, of Iowa. after
an hours conference with the
President at the White House.
The President was reported to
have ignored all attacks on War
ren's connection with sugar inter
ests and to have demanded the
right I'd name his own choice for
Cabinet posts.
Assumes Respond
He was said to Be willins 70 -.

fitness and to Be vigorously
posed to withdrawal of the appoints
ment.
Cumnins was summoned to the
White House, 1t was learned, ~ q
result Of the Senate's delay ii ap-
proving Warren's appointment. He
explained to the President that this
delay was due to the oppositi0n O1
Democratic Senators and the 1rl-
surgent group.
These attacks, all based on War
ren's activities in behalf OF sugar
interests, have tied up the nominal
ton ever since 1t reached the Sem
ate last January 10. They also.
calsed a subcommittee to report
the nomination without recon-.
mendation. !
Demands Confirms ation.
Despite this opposition the
President was said to have de-
nanded that Warren be confirmed.
The President, 1t was said. took the
position that Cabinet officers are
the Executives personal lieutenants
and that he alone Is Responsible
for their service to the nation
AS a result of the Presidents ap.
peal, Administration leaders may
make a desperate bid for confirmas
tion before Congress adjourns March
4. The opposition to Warren, how
ever has &IOWAA ~ % PAS4-J ee-t-e 80
confirmation is in doubt. Demo.
cratic Senators. have openly pre-
dicted that If q vote is taken now,
the appointment will be rejected.
There were reports that Admin
istration leaders, aware Of this prob
able result would evade such q
blow to the Presidents prestige by
blocking a vote before adjournment.
If this is done, the President can
name Warren by recess appoint
ment with much more favorable
chances for confirmation in the
next Congress.
Attack Is Renewed.
Attorney General Stone also took
Erart in the conference.
Another attack upon Charles
Warren, nominated as Attorney
General, was made today by the
Peoples Legislative Service.
Warren was charged with hav.
ing earned political recognition as
chief campaign solicitor and COZ
poration 'Fat-fryer' In the cam.
paign of 1920" It was through
Warren's efforts. the service said,
that the largest Republican cam.

Earlier Hopes

CAVE CITY, KY, Feb. H.
Sand Cave wiz give its answer in
the early dawn of next Sunday.
Sixty hours from this morning
at 9 o'clock the shaft through
which Floyd Collins, imprisoned
cave explorer. will be brought out
dead or alive" will reach the
level where side-drifting actually
to locate his body will begin.
Then it will be a matter only of
hours.
This was the information con-
veyed today in an official com
munique issued over the name of
a. T. Carmichael, general super
visor of operations at the pit.
Down As Feet Now.
The communique reads:
AT 9 a. m this morning the
shaft had reached a depth of about
IS feet. Engineers calculate that
Collins is not deeper than 20 feet.
Our normal average progress in
sinking the shaft now is ten feet
every twenty-fouT hours.
These figures show that, bar
ring surprises. we should reach the
seventy-foot level in sixty hours
from a. m. Thursday.
I'VE have Collins" position later
ally from the shaft. we believe.
When we reach the proper level we
shall drift horizontally for him. If
We find we have miscalculated his
direction. we shall drift in all di-
rections until We get him.
May Find Fissure.
I'VE now are working in lime
stone formation, region where fis.
sures or caves may reasonably be-
expected. If any of these are to
be found. or If they will be of
value if they are, none can say,
I'VE have not yet reached the
limestone ledge under which we ex-
pect to find Collins.
THE morals of the forces is ex-
cellent. The weather is improvin. z
"L. G. Barry, field representative
Of the Sand Cave Red Cross and as
sistants have their part of the
operation fully in hand"
Hope for "CrawI.way."
But no one knows how quickly
some crawl-way may be found
which will permit a man to get to
Floyd Collins and determine wheth-
er he is living or dead.
Optisism has tinged ever action
Of those in authority. Whether it
is their effort to maintain the
morale of the men wallowing in
the greasy. slippery. sticky mud Of
the pit and shaft with cheer so that
they will get their man out, or
whether conditions warrant optim-
ism. can not be determined.
No Let Up In Work.
But whether the chill of winter
contracts the nerves of his res
cuers, or the heat Of the sudden
spring bathes them in sw,eat-to
find Collins there is no day and
no night, no light and no dark, no
difference between warmth and
cold.
The damp of a cave defines for
him-if still alive-the entire world.
