Charges Against U. S.
Judge Are Quashed In
Lower House Congress

WASHINGTON, March 1. Pl-Tm-
peaehment charges against Federal
Judge Frank Cooper of the northern
New York district were dismissed
today without dissenting vote by
the house judiciary committee with
a declaration that it's action was not
to be construed as commencing the
manner in which he handles some
cases. Four members of the com
mittee were reported to have dis
agreed with the committees findings,
but when the vote was taken they
remained silent rather than go on
record against the majority. 1T was
understood. however, that no minority
or protesting views would be filed.
The house must now act upon the
committees findings. Representative
La Guardia, republican, New York,
who preferred the charges against
Judge Cooper, said he did not con-
template renewing his fight upon the
floor. The judge was charged by
La Guardia with having illegally
mapped out a plan with prohibition
officers TO entrap liquor volators and
then sat in Judgment on their cases.
Without mentioning any specific case
the house committee which had con-
Quoted an Investigation of the charges
declined to give this procedure it's APP
proval, but it held that the judges
actions did not constitute grounds for
impeachment After the decision was
announced, La Guardia said his con
science is clear" and that the report
justified his attack upon the Judge.
Elisha Hanson, counsel for Cooper,
said that, stripped of all it's verbi
age" the only charge against his
client was that he had been too zeal
Gus in trying to clean up a district
known as 'the worst in the United
r11Ao~' fn~ lack of law enforcement.

At an informal demonstration OF his

the dog was puzzled for an instant
and then Immediately lay his head
against the latch of the front door
Herbert then said, "Fellow, what

Work Is Wanted for
Ex- Service Men Who
Are Anxious for Jobs

Attention is called by Commander
Jack Weiss of the American legion
to the fact that at the present time
there are number of deserving, ex's
service men in the city who are
looking for work. Weiss states
that these men really want to work
and are not particular about the kind
of job they get so long as it will
pay them enough to live on.
Anyone having work that they can
give these men is asked to get in
touch with Weiss or with Post
Adjutant George Bergfield. There
are many men at this season tramp
ing about. the country and few Of
them, investigation discloses, really
want work so that when men do
appear who are sincere in their eft
forts to become employed there is a
feeling that they should be given
every chance to make good.

'DAUGHERTY FATE
In JURY'S HANDS
In U. S. COURT

! FEDERAL COURT, NEW YORK,
| March l. (P)-In dim and Uttered
room in which another jury argued
for SIS hours. to disagreement, 10
/ men again tonight gathered to de-
eide the guilt or innocence of former
Attorney General Harry M. Daugh-
I erty and former alien property GUS
ttodian Thomas w. Miller.
The jurors were given the case at
1:10 O'Clock this afternoon, following
| . two-hour charge by Judge John c..
Knox. United States Attorney En-
/ ory r. Buckner concluded a summa-
tion that had consumed two days in
the half hour between the opening
of court and the Judges charge. The
jurors were taken to lunch before be-
ing permitted to start their delibera-
tions and actually began trying for
a verdict at 2:15.
Shortly after the jury retired to
deliberate, Daugherty and Miller
strolled up and down the corridors
of the federal building. They sell
dom spoke during the trial and they
did NOT speak as they awaited the
I verdict. Both expressed belief that
they would be acquitted
/ Daugherty and Miller were charged
with conspiracy to defraud the United
States of their honest and unbiased
services as government officials in
connection WITH the allowance in 1921
of claims for 100000 proceeds of the
sale of seized American Metal CONS
pany shares. The shares were inn
pounded when the president of the
| American Metal company reported
them owned by the Metallurgische
Gesellschaft and the Metallbank, Ger
man companies
Richard Merton, president of the
MetaA.urgische Gesellschaft at the
time claimed the proceeds in the
name of the Societe Suisse Pour Val
eurs De Metaux, of whose board he
was then chairman. The claims We're
passed in three days, testimony show
ed. The government contended the
claims were invalid.
Merton testified he paid the late
John T. King, then republican ma
tional committeeman from Connec-
ticut, $4,000 by check and $391, 900
in liberty bonds for his aid in hav-
ing the claims allowed Merton said
Jess w. Smith, Washington Court
House, Ohio, merchant, who was
Daugherty's man of all work, also
helped in having the claims allowed
The government called witnesses
who testified that $4,000 of the Mer-
ton King bonds were traced to
iMiller's banking and brokerage ac-
counts.
Proceeds of coupons on 100000 OF
the bonds and five of the bonds were
traced to Daughertys accounts in
the Midland National bank at Wash
ington Court House, Ohio, of which
his brother, Nal s. Daugherty, is
president. Nal Daugherty testified
that Harry Daugherty burned rec
ords of the bank which the govern
ment contends would have revealed
that proceeds of the sale of six other
bonds, amounting to $4,000, reached
Harry's account. In charging the
jury, Judge Knox said that four ver-
diets could be reached. These were
tacquittal of both, conviction of both

Mine DISASTERS
DEATH TOLL in
BRITAIN IS 65

LONDON, March l tH9-Great Brit
aims mining industry today was strick-
en- by two disasters, one in Wales and
the other in Nottinghamshire, England,
with death toll that was feared
would reach SIS.
The Welsh disaster took place in
mine situated near OWN, a small town
that lies in the shadow of the so-call-
ed moving mountain, Domen Faws,
which onlys last year caused a nearby
river to shift it's course and to over
flood the town and many miners
homes.
An explosion early this morning in
/ the marine colliery of one of the larg-
est pits of the Tbbwvale company, em-
ploying 100 men, caused deaths that
are numbered 23, with % men missing.
1 Most Of the latter are believed to be
tropped by wall of flame, and hope
for them has virtually been abandoned.
] There were 120 operators working
when the explosion occurred. Most OF
them Were able to reach the surface,
but the Others were so far under the
ground that escape was impossible.
Albert Button, 22-year-old miner
was among those who had safety with
/ in his grasp, but when he heard that
his brother was entombed, he turned
back and perished in an attempt to
save him.
Poisonous fumes drove rescue par
ties back repeatedly while the constant
collapse of sections of roofing added
to the almost unsurmountable hazards
which awaited them. Tonight last
attempt was being made to reach the
entombed victims from another shaft
of the pit, but hopes for the safety
of the 2S missing men was most slen-
der.
Frank Ham, director; Hugh Nc
Vicar, manager, and w. Fl. John, the
miners, agent headed the rescue par
ties which struggled to reach the trap
ped men, and were taken to hos
pital after collapsing in the gas fill
ed gallery. Manley Roberts, chief
! electrician, was gassed twice, but still
persisted in the rescue work.
Hundreds of men and women, with
children at their sides, crowded about
the pit head all day. occasionally pa
thetic scenes being enacted when 1T
was discovered that some relative,
thought lost, had been saved.
The disaster, coming on the Welsh
national day--St David's day---was one
Of the worst the Welsh have known in
recent years, and the whole country
was plunged in gloom.
The other disaster, which took place
Inear Mansfield, about two hours after
the OWN explosion, is believed GER
tain to have taken the lives Of IA men.
1t occurred in new pit Of the Bills
thorne colliery when a cage descend
ing with eight miners, was struck by
100 tons of water piping which coll
lapsed The wreckage put the pit
pumps out of action and sent the cage
crashing 2SO yards into the bottom OF
the shaft where nine men were work
ing. A party of miners at a dance in
the neighboring village of Ollerton
rushed to the rescue but was able to
save only three of the men. Hope was
abandoned for the others as water be-
/ gan pouring into the shaft at the rate
of 10000 gallons an hour.
King George, Queen Mary and many
public bodies have sent messages or
coincidence on the two disasters.
