ESCAPE DEATH
IN BIG STORM

West Frankfort, H., Mar. 2l.-One
of the most striking features OF the
tornado here was the larger portion
of women and children in the cas-
ualty list. More than 800 coal
miners were at work beneath the
surface in the devastated area and
thus escaped.
Nearly forty Of the dead in West
Frankfort were small children. One

after the disaster was the long row

most in the twinkling of an eye.

Ball, Bursum, Cameron, Capper, Cum
Minis, Curtis, Harreld, Hale, Reyes,
Mckinley, Oddie, Pepper, Phipps, Ster-
ling Watson and Weller.
Opponents of the President point
out that the White House chose to
make this vote the test of fealty to
the administration, perhaps largely for
the psychological effect a triumph
would have as President Coolidge en-
banks upon his tenure of Office in his
own right.
The leadership not only of the Presi-
dent but of Senator Curtis Rep.,
Kans.), the new majority leader of the
senate, was at stake in the contest,
they aver Senator Curtis won his
first fight, but by such squeak that
he was visibly trembling in his chair
as the roll was called.

administration leaders Immediately
announced that they would press the

Unprecedented Progress in Education

| A per cent; in the public high schools,
574 per cent; in the colleges. and uni
yersities, 272 per cent, and in the
teachers colleges and normal schools.
274 per cent.
Very naturally, these enormous liz
creases in attendance have involved
corresponding increase in cost. 1t Is
estimated that the educational bill in
1924 amounted to $1,S00,000,O00.
In the field of rural education, where
progress has always been slowest,
there has been a tendency to supplant
unframed and nonprofessional admin
istrative officials with those who have
been fitted by special training for their
task.
Rural teachers salaries increased on
an average of 500. The term was
considerably heightened, and there was
corresponding increase in average
daily attendance. In the neighborhood
of LOCO school consultations were
made. Expenditures for transporta-
ton increased $3,5O0000, and about
5000 one-room schools were closed be-
cause of the coming Of more adequate
consolidated schools.
Public education in the cities was
marked by the most extensive building
program ever yet attempted.

mischievous has been put about in this
regard. There is school of co-opera-

Madden Questions Power of President

President had appointed the commits

demanded: what authority granted
the right to appoint the commission on
which Mr.. Hoover served?"
1.-THE President appointed it," Gen.
eral Jadwin replied.
"Where was the law?" countered
Mr.. Madden.
Later Mr.. Madden stated that the
only legal authorization for funds to
study the st. Lawrence waterway was
under the international joint commits
sion, "and that report must be made
to congress. The President has no
legal authority to appoint commits
sion unless congress authorizes it,"
The letter from Mr.. Coolidge asking
for $4,000 for the agricultural COM
mission stated that the members had
agreed to work for nothing. And he
said:
II feel that as the services they are
rendering the government are in the
interest of the whole people of this
nation, the government should pay
their expenses while engaged on this
task"
