AFTER THE STORM
CAPITAL Is CALM
Stirring Events of Hottest Short Ses-
sion of Senate for Years Quietly
Filed Away in History.

Washington D. C.-With the Sem
ate's speedy confirmation of John G..
Sargent of Vermont, to be attorney
general, the controversy between Pres
ident Coolidge and the legislative body
over the twice rejected nomination of
Charles B. Warren for the post to-
day had taken its place in history with
other comparable incidents in Ameri-
can government.
The nomination of Mr.. Sargent, a
former attorney general of Vermont
and a lifelong friend of the president
was approved by the Senate in open
session by unanimous consent just
four hours after it had been received
following publication of correspond
ence disclosing that Mr.. Warren had
declined the offer of recess appoint
ment.
Approval was given without debate
after the judiciary committee, to which
the nomination was referred, had dis
cussed it for only little more than
half an hour.
There were many vacant seats in
the Senate, a number of members
having already left town, when Mr..
Sargents nomination was taken up in
open session on the proposal of SEN
ator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, be-
cause Mr.. Warren's nomination also
had been considered in the open. The
proposal was adopted after some OBJ
lection from the Rep Iblican side, and
unanimous consent to confirmation
was then given on the request of
Chairman Cummins who submitted
the committee report.
Leaders planned to have the Sen
ate adjourn sine die today after clear
ing the calendar of few remaining
nominations, a number having been
disposed of yesterday along with that

WEST VIRGINIA
MINE EXPLOSION
Thirty-four Miners Entombed in Elk
PlOsion Near Fairmount-Rescue
Work Being Pushed.
BULLETIN.


FairmOnt, w. Va. Three men
were placed under arrest today In
connection with the explosion at
Mine Al of the Bethlehem Mines
corporation in which 81 men were
entombed. Their arrest followed
the report of possibility that the
disaster had been caused by the
explosion of bomb.
The report was promtly denied
and it was said that an accumula-
ton of gas was believed to have
caused the explosion. Officials
declared, however, that sufficient
credence had been given the report
to cause the arrest of w. ID.
Emonds, Clarence WhetEel and A.
G. Kendall. They are being held
in the county Jail pending further
investigation. No specific charge
has been placed against them. The
mine has been operating on nom
union basis since last October.

Fairmont, w. Va. A hundred or
more men frantically but cautiously
pushed their way through the under
ground recesses of Mine Al of the
Bethlehem Mines corporation, thrse
miles west of here today in an effort
to find 81 miners who were entombed
last night when an explosion wrecked
the shaft.
Not since a sheet of flame burst
up through the opening that extends
800 feet below the ground has any
one on the surface heard from the inn
prisoned men. A low fum5ling pre-
ceded the explosion, which wrecked
the mines lighting equipment and
fans, caused the tipple to totter and
fall into the shaft and which shook
buildings in Fairmont, broke windows
and shook doors from their hinges in
houses 800 feet away.
Since that moment crowds Of fran
tic women and children have fnilled
about the mine trying to find some
word of the entombed men. Only two
rescue workers had been able to send
word to the surface, and that word
was not encouraging. R. M. Lambie.
chief mine inspector of West Virginia
and companion were the first to go
down. They pushed their way past
the debris to the stable where the
mine horses were kept. All Of the 36
animals were dead. Then they pushed
on into one of the headings and found
the air bad they said. That was all.
They could find no trace Of the men
and when they came to tse surface ex-
perts from every mine in the district
organized themselves into groups,
ready to explor every heading to its
furtherest reaches.
While not definitely determined, gas
was believed to have caused the ex-
plosion and late last night Mine Sup
erintendent Benton Mitchell said he
did not believe any of the men could
be alive. Lambie, however, said this
morning the work would go on as
though every one was alive.
Soon after the explosion there were
reports that a dynamite bomb had
been dropped into the shaft but these
were later denied.

MAYOR HOAN HITS
STATE TAX PLANS
Tells County Boards State
Tax Commission Ought
to Hold Experts.
FOR NEW DISTRIBUTION

The Wisconsin state tax commission
ought to have on its roster men VINO
have made the study of tax problems
their life work rather than politicians
appointed by governor in the opin-
ion of Mayor Dan Hoan, OF Mllwfau-
kee. who addressed the Wisconsin
County Boards association convention
at the courthouse here today. Mayor
Hoan pleaded for a general re-arrange-
ment of the entire administration OF
the tax laws in Wisconsin so that the
people may get a more equltaD1e
deal"
The speaker traced the history OF
tax levying from it's earliest con-
ceution to the present. time showing
how more and more the tendency has
been to centralize tax collecting and
to concentrate these funds IN the
purse of the state. "The most import
ant duties of a legislature, the May
or declared, "are to anticipate the
needs of the state and prepare
budget and levy taxes to cover the
items in that budget. But the state
of Wisconsin is more and more show
ing tendency to get away from this
idea. They are doing that much, true,
but they are doing more. They col
lect the tax moneys from local units
of government and keep the money in
Madison. The income taxes and real
estate taxes are proportioned through
out the state to the cities, towns, and
villages, but the great bulk of the
taxes collected by the state is not.
Counties Share Burdens.
"The state has adopted a policy of
taxing automobiles, insurance, rail-
roads, transportation, ETC., but it is
keeping this money at Madison. APP
proximately $15,000,O00 per pear is
collected by the state in automobile
licenses. Now it is admitted that the
advent of the automobile has made
an added burden of expense on the
county. 1t has created the necessity
for improved roads, traffic officers,
building and repair obligations, etc.,
and the cost for this has beef born
primarily by the counties. The state
returns to the local governments from
this S10,00O,o00 about S1,000,0 00-or
fourteen parts to one. Now / believe
that that is unfair-it is wrong. Mil
waukee alone spent last year 100000
on road work, of which $4,100,000 is
directly traceable to automobiles.
There are benefits which the automo-
bile brings TO the citizen, true, bat why
should the state get all of the money
when the city shares a great percent
age of the burden of maintenance
believe the state should have its
share, but the counties should have
their share too.
Hits Present Tax Law.
1--WE see this same principle under
lying the tax bill that came before
the senate Of Madison today. The cities
OF the state formerly received about
70 per cent cs this money. This bill
proposes to let them off with 45 PEI
cent. There is limit to ali Of this.
There is breaking point somewhere.
But / hope that before that point is
reached there will be a rectification-
''The trouble with the men on the
present tax commission is that their
fundamental knowledge of taxation is
not enough to qualify them as ex-

VOTE TO BUY
AN AIR FILTER
County Board Decides to
Buy Air Filter for
New Courthouse.
BALLOT ON CUSTODIAN
Twenty Eight Applicants for
Position of Custodian of New
Kenosha Co. Court House.

Air in the new courthouse which Ke-
nosha county is now erecting is all to
be filtered The county board of SUI
pervisors at its meeting this morning
voted to purchase from w. Clasmann
of Milwaukee a Reed Air Filter at an
approximate cost of $2,700. The build
ing committee has been authorized to
proceed with its negotiations towards
the purchase of such filter.
The filter is being bought mostly/for
the protection of the decorations and
paintings in the building. Other ven
tilating devices provide for excellent
and adequate ventilation of the build
ing in connection with the heating
plant. The filter will remove all SCOT
and smoke from the air and will add
life, it is said, to the painting work
and the murals in the building.
Vote o nCustodian.
/ The county board also took one bal
lit in the election of custodian for
the new courthouse. When the cleo
ton was called this morning it was
discovered that there were twenty
eight applicants for the position. On
the first ballot Fred Becker received
8 votes, Fred Mielke, 2; George M.
Delville, 2, aud N. D. Schmitt,, w. J.
Craney. Joseph Everett and Theodore
Boyington, l each.
The board postponed further ballot
ting until an adjourned meeting on
Thursday morning 1t seems likely
that the selection of a custodian will
be turned over to the new board.

were named by the board as follows !:
Somers, Mrs. Elsie Smith; Salem, A.
Olsen; Bristol, Clarence Yonk; Wheat
