CHICAGO, March 11-An adminis~
traitor for the estate of John w.
Worth1ngton, wolf of LaSalle street"
was appointed today at the request
of his daughter, Alice. Percival b.
Coffin, public administrator, was
named by Judge Henry Horner Of
the probate court. The Chicago Trust
company presented at the hearing
will signed by Worthington January

nuity to Worthingtor's daughter,
Mrs. Adele w. Perrin of New Ro-
chelle, N. Y, and leaves the balance
to his wife, who has since died, for
period of 80 years. No mention is
made of Alice Worthington nor any
provision made for ultimate disposal
of the estate. No valuation was
given in the will.
Attorney Robert Cohan, who rep
resented Worthington and who
claimed to have been bequeathed
$3.50, 900 in a will which now has
disappeared, was summoned into
court by Judge Horner He told the
court he had turned over all his
papers to the attorney for the Cen
trail Trust company on order of Ref
cree in Bankruptcy Eastman. Among
them, he said, was a document in
which Worthington revoked all wills
drawn previously to that date.

BODIES OF TWO
MORE MEN TAKEN
OUT OF MINE
(By Dispatch A. P. wlre)


ECCLES, w. Va, March 1.-THE
bodies of William Dickey and Will
liam Cyrus, who it had been hoped,
would be found alive, were removed
from number five mine of the Crab
Orchard Improvement company here
late today. This made a total of II
bodies recovered, while 10 men We're
brought out alive, thus leaving un-
accounted for but two of the 20 men
entombed in the mine following an
explosion last Monday.
The bodies of Dickey and Cyrus
were brought from where they had
been at work in one of the remote
rooms of the mine and this fact had
given rise to hopes that they might
have escaped. 1t was found, how
ever, that THE explosion apparently
originated in this portion of the
workings because of the large amount
of wreckage and fallen coal en-
countered by the rescue crews.
The body of M. e. Holt was taken
from a water-filled stump at the bot,
tom of the shaft today. The pumps
were continued in operation tonight
with the expectation that the remain
ing two bodies might be found in the
same place.
Dckey and Cyrus were married
the former leaving one child and the
latter two. Holt was single.
Funerals of five of the victims
Were held here today.

FARMERS SEEK
DEMOCRAT help
ON FARM BILLS
(By Dispatch A. p. wirel

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Another
rumble of threatened political trouble
in the corn belt was heard today by
the house agriculture committee,
(which is conducting hearings on a
farm relief bill.
william Hirth, of Missouri, chair
man of the corn belt committee sent
to Washington by wid-western farm
organizations, told the committee
bluntly that the republican party
would be held to account if it failed
to enact suitable farm relief legis-
lation He added that, though the
chief responsibility lay with the ma
jority, we "have the right to expect
the help of democrats in congress"
He then quoted an extract from
the republican platform of 1924,
pledging the party to enactment Of
measures which will place the agri-
cultural interests on a batis of
equality with other industries to in
sure its prosperity and success"
Possibly" he continued, chose who
wrote this resolution did not expect
it to be taken seriously by the farm
ers-possibly it was intended to be
nothing more than political apple
sauce-but some millions of farm men
and women did take it seriously and
voted for Mr.. Coolidge and for re-
publican members of congress in the
belief that it was solemn pledge,
and that it would be faithfully kept

FALLS
OUT OF RIVER
SOME 800 FEET

SHARON SPRINGS. Kas.. March IL
The bottom continued today to drop
ont of the bed of the smokey Hill
river near here, and tonight the
ground was still sinking although it's
motion had slowed up somewhat. A
hole slightly over 800 feet in dame
ter has formed in the river bed since
Yesterday morning. It's depth is not
known, as it is partly filled with
water that rushed in when the crater
began forming but some estimates
run as high as 500 feet.
The cause of the phenomenon re-
mained mystery tonight, although
many theories had been advanced.
Word was received from Lawrence
that r. c.. Moore, state geologist, had
attributed it to underground caYerns
left when a stratum of limestone had
been dissolved. This, it was pointed
out, however, does not explain the
peculiar odor of sulphur that many
have noticed around the crater One
theory that has been advanced is
that it is an old volcano showing
signs of life. The state geologist is
expected here tomorrow.

M'CAMANT MAY
not Be GIVEN
SENATE @. K.
(Rv Disnatch A. 2. Wirel


WASHINGTON, March 11.-Presi-
dent Coolidge lost ground today in
his battle for senate confirmation of
a judicial appointment for Wallace
McCamant of Oregon, who launched
the chief executive on his national
political career by placing his name
in nomination for the vice presidency
in 1920.
With three members yet to be
heard FROM the senate judiciary COM
mittee voted 10 to against a ia
vorable report on the nomination of
McCamant, who now IS serving on
the ninth circuit bench under a re-
cess appointment made last summer
Of the three committeeman yet to
vote, one is certain to cast his ballot
against confirmation.
Unofficial accounts were that SEN.
ators Goff, Ernst and Deneen, all re-
publicans, were the three voting for
McCamant. Those opposing were
Chairman Cummins, and Senators
Borah and Means, republicans and
the seven democrats on the commit
tee.
With such an overwhelming vote
in the committee, administration lead
ers generally conceded that there
was little hope that the senate would
act favorably. Some have suggested
that the president withdraw the nom
nation but the White House has
announced that Coolidge will insist
on senate action.
Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia, initiated the fight on Judge
McCamant.

INVESTIGATION
Of THE TARIFF
BOARD STARTS
(By dispatch A. P. wire)

BY DfpalclI y. T. wire
WASHINGTON, March
Investigation of tn e
tariff commission, and of
charges that President
Coolidge and others have
sought to Influence it, was
ordered today by the SEN
ate.
The inquiry will be conducted by a
special committee of five senator's
one republican insurgent, two regular
one republican insurgent, two regular
committee will be selected by Vice
President Dawes after consultation
with the leaders. There was little
opposition to general inquiry as orig
inally proposed by tbs democratic
leader, Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
but the proposal to investigate speci-
ally all efforts to influence the Of
ficials acts of the commission met
stubborn resistance from administra-
tion senators.
This proposal was put forward as
an amendment by Senator Norris, re-
publican, Nebraska, who recently laid
before the senate series of letters
from members and former members
of the commission alleging efforts at
executive influence. The senate ap-
proved it 3S to 80, with a combination
of democrats and republican insurg-
ents constituting the majority. There
was another fight when Senator
King, democrat, Utah, proposed that
the insurgent republicans be given
Senator Bingham, repub-
lican, Connecticut, moved simply to
appoint three republican, and two
democrats" but the senate voted him
down Al to 20. Officials of the senate
were unable to recall another instance
where appointment of insurgents to
an investigating committee had been
ordered by resolution.
Originally the Robinson resolution
had proposed that the finance commit
tee make the inquiry, but Senator
Norris objected declaring any investi-
cation of the tariff commission with
relation to the now celebrated sugar
tariff case, would invo=ve an investi-
cation of the chairman of the finance
Senator Smoot of Utah.
The Nebraska senator recalled that
S. Culberson, while a member
Of the commission, had been invited
by Senator Smoot to conference of
representatives of the beet sugar
interests. Senator Norris said he had
no doubt Senator Smoot, acted in
good faith, but he added that he did
not think what was done was proper.
AS evidence to support a charge of
efforts of President Coolidge to in
'luence the commission, Senator Nor
lis some time ago read to the senate
4 letter from Edward p Costigan, al
eging that in re-appointing David I.
Lewis, democrat, Maryland, to the
commission, the president required !
1im to submit his resignation to be !
accepted at the will of the president. |

Nby Dispdbch a = WAel
WASHINGTON, March
1.-THE prohibition battle,
which has ragged so fiercely
during recent weeks in
congress, developed today a
trend toward sniping, with
leaders Of the contending
wet and dry forces taking
pot shots at each other from
other points of vantage.
But while this was going on the
subject did not lie dormant in the
senate and house, for the senate ju-
1iciary committee got rid of batch
of troublesome modification bills by
shifting the job of handling them to
sub committee which probably will
hold public hearings; the house heard
of brief opinion about the extent of
drinking in Georgia and Representa-
tive Oliver New York, put in another
beer and wine bill.
The Anti-Saloon leagues executive
committee opened the firing today
with a statement assailing the ac-
curacy of newspaper polls now being
conducted over the country on the
prohibition question. Tonight, Wayne
B. Wheeler, the leagues general
counsel took his post before a radio
microphone to drive home the argu-
ment
This attitude on the part of the
league committee brought into action
Representative Celler, New York, DEM
ocrat, who said he felt it necessary
to mail as lie'' the assertion by
the committee that friends Of prohi-
bition usually do not participate in
such polls, and he cited instances
which he said proved the contrary.
The league committee said straw
votes registering wet trend often
were overturned when the real voting
began, but Celler asserted the league
knows it is defeated and like a
whipped dog now has its tail between
it's legs"
He also ventured the opinion that
while some people may be guilty of
moral turpitude, the Anti-Saloon
league is guilty of moral torpitude."
The league statement, which was
signed by Bishop Thomas Nicholson
and 1S others, declared the "irrecon-
cilable and thirsty minority always
was most active in straw balloting,
and Wheeler in his radio talk de-
clared the majority has spoken on
the prohibition issue, mot in. straw
votes but in official ballots"
He also argued that wine and beer
keep alive the alcoholic appetite and
develop the taste for strong bever-
ages.
The question of drinking in Georgia
was brought up by Representative
Tinkham, republican, Massachusetts,
who read a letter he said had been
sent to Representative Upshaw,, dem
ocrat, Georgia, by M. B. Wellborn.
governor of the federal reserve bank
at Atlanta.
Drinking is almost universal in al
most every town in Georgia. and
throughout the SOUTH" the letter
said, adding that it is not always
good Scotch, but native corn.

FIRST PUBLICA TON
POLL
LNSATURDAYPAPER

There was an interesting response
to the Douglas Daily Dispatch poll
on the prohibition question on Thurs
day, that being the first day on
which the ballot was published. The
first tally of the votes will be pub
lished in this paper Saturday morn
ing, giving more voters an oppor-
tunity to send in their ballots. The

results of the poll, published Satur-
day morning. To assist in the WORK

the Arizona Republican, in the issue
the expression of sentiment is quite
Close there having been 3217 votes
cast for enforcement, 815 for repeal
and 3414 for a beer and wine legal

Every person is urged to use the
ballots printed so that every reader
of The Dispatch may have an op-
portunity for permitting each of the
legal voters of his family the privi-

sensational climax, to the
unsuccessful negotiations

From Swedish circles came the
charge that Sir Austen Chamberlain

that by voting only for Germany at
