Made Before Committee

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Charges
of monopoly in the radio field were
being made today before the house
merchant marine committee at It's
hearings on the White Bill to regu-
late the industry.
sherman L. Whipple and Boyd b.

sent Professor Reginal A. Fessen-
den of Tufts college in his 100000
600 suit against radio interests Tor
alleged restraint of trade told the
committee that radio and wire tele7
phone and telegraph organizations
had monopolized their respective
fields by, pooling patents. Representa-
tive DAVIS, democrat, Tennessee,
said that "as lawyer and mem
Der of the committee" he agreed
with the assertion.
The Radio Corporation of America
was mentioned as controlling the
industry. j. P. Cotton, of New York,
attorney for the corporation, denied
that it had violated the law.

World Court Proponents
Continue to Press the
Issue on Senate Floor
(By Dispatch A. p. Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Propo-

today to press this issue in the sem
ate, but they have little hope now
that vote can be obtained until
well after the tax reduction bill is
passed. Opponents of the fourth
resolution of adhesion asked today
that it be laid aside owing to the
absence from the chamber of Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho, who has a
Slight cold. Those in charge of the
fight for ratification declined to do
so, however, and something in the
nature of filibuster developed. At
ter Senator Fernald, republican,
Maine, had explained why he felt
compelled to 60 against his party
leaders on the proposition, Senator
Blease,. democrat, South Carolina,
held the floor for more than two
hours, reading the farewell address
of Washington and aiming his shafts
at supporters of the court and many
others.

PERALTA, N. NJ,
MAN ADMITS HE
Slew JAPANESE
(By Dispatch A. r. wire)

ALBUQUERQUE, N M, Jan. 10
Ermilo Chaves of Peralta, ~ M,
confessed to District Attorney Fred
Nicholas of Los 1u1aas late today
that he shot and killed his Japanese
brother-in-la law, Mich Yamate, early
on the morning of January at va
mates home in Belen.
Chaves gave as the reason for the
crime that he wished to prevent the
marriage of Yamate to a second sis
ter, Elisa Chaves, which was to have
taken place on January 18. Yamatc's
first wife, also a sister of Chaves,
died last September.
The slayer declared he believed
Ya1nate had cast spell over his sis
ter, which made her love him against
her will. She had once told him, he
said, that she would not marry a
Jal f.nese if he were a king, and va
mate had told him he had a mys~
terious power over women.
The finding of bit of onion skin
in a tennis shoe discarded by Chaves
led to the solution of the mystery
surrounding the death of the nighN
car Inspector, who was shot through
the head with a IA calibre rifle as
he sat reading in his kitchen shortly
after midnight. Chaves had brought
a load of onions to Belen that day.

The actions of the commission,
from which Chile appealed to Presi-
dent Coolidge as arbitrator, on De-
cember 9, had to do with the deter
mination of dates and the prepara-
tions for the voting which, under his
award is to determine the sovereign
ty of the two provinces, long in dis
pute between the two nations.
The generals stand that the award
gave the commission "all authority
necessary for the determination OF
the prerequisites of a fair plebls-
citeo was sustained by the president.
The decision stated that Chile and
Peru were bound by their pledge to
give assistance in every way to the
commission and upheld it's applica-
cation of the award to conditions
which it justly had right to eval-
uate.
The decision was handed to the
Chilean and Peruvian diplomatic rep
resentatives here, and was cabled to
General Pershing at africa, where the
commission is sitting.
The president reiterated that Chll-
can sovereignty was not involved IN
the interpretation of the award and
emphasized that both Chile and Peru
had pledged themselves to use their
resources and authority to bring
about fair plebiscite.

SENATOR BLEASE
SCORES DRY LAW,
WOODROW WILSON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Attacks on
woodrow Wilson, foreign diplomats
in connection with the i'm oortltioA of
liquor, prohibition agents and others,
were made today in tha senate by
Senator Blease democrat, South Caro-
lima.
Reading George Washington's fare
well address as an argument against
American adhesion to the world court,
the South Carolinan particularly
scored the diplomats, excoriat;ns them
time and again. He charged that
they were feeding liquor to- and
"debauching'' American women with
out interference from federal gover1-
ment authorities"
Assailing the democratic party for
endeavoring to "foist" the league of
nations upon the country, he said be-
lieved this was done "conscientiously
for the purpose of endeavoring to
make, through his egotism and vanity,
the then president of the United
States, the president of the world"
With respect to prohibition, he de-
clared that "and man who thinks this
country has prohibition is an ignorant
fool
"The only man in this country who
has prohibition is the poor devil who
has not got the money to buy liquor,
and everybody knows it," the senator
said. eff he does not know it, it will
not take him long to find out if he
will just walk along the street and
look like his lips are dry.
"Why, thcy have soliciting agents
all over the city, and they come
into the senate office building, and
they go to the house office building,
and they come under the dome of the
capitol; and yet some people stand
up and talk about prohibition"
Adverting again to Woodrow Will
SON, the South Carolina senator said
that when James M. Cox, the demo-
cratic candidate for president in 1920
went up to the White House and
knelt down and said: I consecrate
my all to thee, Mr.. Wilson, not my
country the people slapped him in
the face and properly so, because
George Washington told them to do
So"

WILBURTON, Okla, Jan. 15.-The
death list in the explosion Wednes-
day at the Degnan- Mcconnell mine
number 2i, tonight apparently had
been increased to 3. Relief workers
late to-day said they had located
five bodies when only three pre-
covered All five were negroes. Forty
five convicts from the Oklahoma
penitentiary at McAlester, nearby,
today prepared most of the graves
for the victims, and tonight a long
row of SO ranged side by side in a
little country cemetery in valley
near the mine.
Eight more were dug at the Will
burton Catholic cemetery and three
more in private burying grounds.
Some of the bodies are being sent
to other towns for burial.
A few funerals were held late
today, but most of them will be
tomorrow. Because of the inability
of local ministers to meet the de-
mands of separate services, plans
for joint service for number of
the victims were discussed but no
definite decision was announced.
Jimmie Connolly owner of the
il-fated mine, said today that he
would do everything possible to
prevent suffering among the de-
pendents of the dead miners pend
ing returns from relief movements

Following an appeal last night
| from the Wilburton Lions Club,
Governor Trapp today issued a ma
tion wide procamation, calling for
donations to fund Of 100000. He
designated the Lions club as the
official agency to receive donations
and asked that they be directed to
club.
The Oklahoma industrial commits
sion has no jurisdiction in cases
involving the death of work
man and no compensation can be
claimed by dependents of the men
who died in the explosion.

20 W. VA, MINERS
RESCUED AFTER
IS HOUR HUNT
(By Dispatch A. =. wire)


FAIRMONT, w. Va, Jan. 15.-All
the miners, 40 in number, who en-
tered the Number mine of the
Jsmieson Coal and Coke company
last night before it was partially
wrecked by an explosion, were ac-
counted for tonight.
Twenty-one late today walked out
after having been entombed for more
than 1s hours and 10 bodies were re-
moved from the pit at intervals fol-
lowing the blast.
Up until tonight it had been
thought that only sS men were in
the mine but the list of dead and
living revealed that two additional
men were included in the shift.
The entire work Of rescue was ac.
compllshed in little more than 20
hours.
Virtually no hope had been held
out for the rescue of any of the
men. Word that all of the miners
had not perished came when res
cue crew that had ventured far back
from the elevator shaft discovered
the men bratticed in niche which
had protected them from the dead
ly fumes that rolled Through the
mine following the blast. Rescuers
at the top of the shaft dropped tools
and embraced the saved ones as they
stepped from the elevator.
The men were in fairly good ply
sical condition and were rushed to
first aid stations at the mines mouth
and later to hospitals.
The first bodies were brought from
the mine this morning. 1t was then
that the hopes of saving the others
alive began to fade Members of the
rescue crews coming out told Of
devastation wrought by the blast
few of the bodies found later in the
day were about 200 feet from the
point of the explosion, which was
centered about two and a half miles
from the shaft These victims had
apparently been asphyxiated as they
fled toward the elevator.
Because of the condition of the
rescued workmen, they have not been
allowed to talk at any great length
but it is known that they had prac-
tically given up hope of rescue some
time before they were found.
A roughly charked message on a.
board, found in their bratticed sub
terranean prison, carried what the
men undoubtedly thought was to be
their farewell message to the world.
The message, signed by John NC
