BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CADIz, Ohio, April I6.-The Federal
Government today was asked to inves-
tigate conditions in the Eastern Ohio
coal fields, where recurrent disorders
resulted in calling out the Ohio Ma
tional Guard to maintain order.
The investigation was requested by
H. B. Salkeld, president of the Tasa
Mining Co. Of Hopedale, operator of a
strip mine.
In his telegram, sent to United States
Senators David Reed and James ].
Davis of Pennsylvania and Represent
ative Kelly of Pittsburgh, Salkeld said
he feared for the safety of the citizens
of the field and told the Senators he
was sure conditions would warrant an
inquiry.
More Troops Called.
Four additional companies of Ohio
National Guard today were ordered to
the Eastern coal fields. They are Com
panies A and B Of Cleveland, Company
9 of Canton and Company H of Youngs-
town. With these companies on the
ground, the National Guard force in the
strike area totals $50 men and officers
Gen. Henderson said the additional
troops were ordered to the field not be-
cause they anticipated further violence,
but becauce there were not sufficient
men on duty to patrol the field without
using force
Meanwhile. conditions throughout the
field were described as quiet. All of
the miners who went on strike April /,
in protest against what is described as
as per cent wage cut, remained out.
Demonstration Rumored.
There IVES considerable uneasiness
among cfficers in the field as reports
were received that demonstration was
planned at the bier of Walter Kimbel,
killed several days ago when a large
crowd said to have been strike sympa
thizers, attacked National Guard and
sherifTs officers en- route to the Somers
mine CT the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co. Kinbel was killed by shot fired
from one Ct the automobiles conveying
the Cf1cers to the mine.
The last death discovered late
yesterday, when the body of Carl Nay
gren, As. was found in ditch after
crowd of 200 men earlier attacked four
non-striking miners en- route to the
Harmon Creek mine, near this city.
Oficial3 believed Naygren died of
fright, for no marks were found on his
body. The four men attacked, how
ever, we're badly beaten. Later author
tiles arrested three suspects.
Doak Calls Conference.
Hopes for settling the coal miners
wage strike, out of which the hostili-
ties grew, are pinned at the present
time upon a conference called by Sec
retary of Labor william H. Doak.
The conference will be held in Wash
ington April 20. Secretary Doak in
vited delegations of miners and oper-
ators to attend and said several accept
ances had been received. Among those
who will be represented will be the

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, Del, April 16-Tne
police of Wilmington said today they
were mystifed over the circumstances
surrounding the disappearance of
9-year-old Hilda Brodsky while on her
way to school yesterday.
The girl, who is the daughter of Mr.

until special delivery letter mailed in
Wilmington reached the Brodsky home

We have kidnapped your child. If
you notify the police or the newspapers
We will kill the child. Otherwise await
further instructions"
The persons who volunteered this in
formation would say nothing more.

over trains and automobiles without re-
suit, and Mayor Frank Sparks called

HOOVER SEES TURN |
TOWARD RECOVERY.
Believes Current Pessimism
Entirely UnWarranted.
Urges Confidence.

BY the Associated Press.
1t is President Hoovers belief that
current pessimism on the American
economic outlook is not warranted and
that several definite factors point to
orderly recovery.
This view goes with the conclusion
that the drive for liquidation has spent
itself; that the Governments several
financial aids to banking and business
have conquered the ma jor banking
crisis; that alarm over pending legisla-
ton such as bonus payment and some
OF the more severe taxes placed in the
revenue bill by the House appears much
exaggerated in the light of careful
study, and that the one needed factor
Is widespread confidence not only
among the leaders Of business and in
dustry, but down through the ranks.
Bonus Defeat Awaited.
Mr.. Hoover is confident congressional
sentiment assures speedy passage of the
billion dollar tax bill in we'll balanced
form and that a canvass of Senate SEN
timent shows it is impossible for the
$2.00o,000,000 bonus cashing plan to
become law.
He points to the economy campaign
now under way. in cooperative effort
between Congress and the executive
branch, as one of the greatest ever un-
dertaken by any government in single
year and places high value on the
Federal Reserve systems new program
for an organized expansion of credit.
This summary of the Presidents S views
was given out by thoroughly depend
able source, as the result of close study
of the economic factors.
Coupled with the summary came
definite suggestion that widespread use
OF the flve-day working week is essen
tlal throughout industry until a high
degree OF unemployment has been OBJ
tanned.
Banking Crisis Past.
Supporting the view that the banking
crisis is past, Government figures show
a net closing of SIS banks during the
nine weeks preceding establishment of
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and only n more closings than reopen
ingS in the nine weeks following that
act. Likewise. during the first nine-week
period a withdrawal of S400 900 900
from banking institutions was shown,
against a $250,000 900 indicated reduc-
ton in boarding during the latter period.
Feeling that apprehension may now
be declared largely exaggerated, Mr.
Hoover believes, as he has in the past,
that the economic situation in the Ma
ton is solely one CT public confidence.
The need, he believes, is for courage, not
only among national leaders but ex-
tending down to the smallest merchant
and manufacturer.

FIGHT THREATENED
ON ALL TARIFFS
Hull Irked by Opposition to
Evidence Against
Oil Levy.

BY the Associated Press.
Notice that an effort would be made
to strike all tariffs from the new reve-
nue. bill came today from Senator Hull,
Democrat, of Tennessee.
He threatened to make the motion
Immediately IN the Senate Finance
Committee when Chairman Smoot OBJ
jected to his continued questioning of
witness protesting against an oil
tariff, but withheld the motion when
allowed to go ahead with his question
ing.
The Tennessee Senator told news
paper men, however, he would press the
motion to a vote in committee after
the hearings are concluded.
Witnesses said the tax on oil imports
would cost the Government more in
the form Of increased prices for oil it
consumes than would be collected in
revenue.
Claims Few to Benefit.
Paul H. HarwCod, vice president of
the Pan-A:nerican Petroleum &, Trans
port Co, contended "mcst of the tribute
imposed on the people and industries of
the United States by this tariff" would
go to the country's 30 major COM
panies, who, he said, control oil trans
portation and most of the refining and
distributing facilities and produce so
per cent of the crude oil.
"A tariff on oil is unprecedented" ="
HarWood said This so-called revenue
measure is a tariff That it will bring
in any revenue is most improbable.
If the hopes of the proponents of
this measure are realized, and prices
increased by the amount of the tariff
as they expect, our Government will
pay higher prices like the rest of us,
to the tune of more than the $4,000, ,00J
revenue expected. every peace-time
year. This disguished tariff, therefore,
would increase our Government
deficit. . -
Denies Need of Tariff.
There is no case for a tariff to
equanza costs. because already the do
mestic product is cheaper
Harwood asserted that the cheap
crude which is swampirg the Ameri-
can market is not the fore gn product
which the tariff proponents wish to
tax, but that Of the Esss' Texas field
forming part of the territory sought to
be protected by the proponents of a
tariff"
THE fancied advantage of American
producers abroad, through the use nj
cheap native labor which constantly
recurs in all statements of the propon-
ents is simply a fiction" he added. ~e-

his company employed more Americans

said. gasoline increases in price only
by the amount OF the tariff, it will cost

panies.
The total charge on the American

 "For the first time in Ameri- can history" jColvin said, "a president violates his oath of Of- flee by attacking the stability of part of the constitution. He does this in the interest of the return of lcgalizcd liquor.
 "He not only fails to preserve tho 18th Amendment but he seeks to cut the heart out of 1t by abolishing national prohibi- tion. He would subject the states, one by one, to conquest by the liquor power."

An investigation as to the cause and motive of an explosion, which caused considerable damage late last evening to a tenement block at 279 South Leonard street and endangered the lives of members of five families, was carried on to- day by representatives of both the fire and police departments. Only one person was injured, Mrs Mary Citrinitis. mother of five children, suffering lacerations about the arms and body. She was cut by fly ing glass.
 As far as the authorities could determine to-day the explosion was caused by a homemade bomb wrapped in a local newspaper of Novem Der 4, 1916 and deposited in the hallway of the building. It ex- ploded with such terrific force as to hurl occupants of the building out of their beds. One man was hurled eight feet to crash against the cell ing of his room. The entire neigh borhood was aroused. The explo- sion was heard for some distance. Firemen on their arrivel found plenty of smoke, but very little fire. In addition to wrecked windows, and detached doors there were gap ing holes in the walls of several of the rooms. Even Q heavy section of a brick wall was wrenched loose.
