UP the northeast side OF Laramie Peak.
The information was telepnoned
this morning to the Office Of Gov.

Smith of the Wyoming State Highway
Patrol, who few over the area today
on orders OF the governor.
A searching party on foot, Smith

A plane, believed to be that Of
Burnside Smith, Al, Indianapolis tran
sit company executive. crashed in
flames on the mountain last Thursday
night.
With Smith were Dick Arnett, In
dianapolis airport manager and his
bride, the former Eleanor Clark Of
Indianapolis, to whom he was married
three weeks ago.
Missing More Than 100 Hours.
The three have been missing more
than 100 hours on trip that was q
honeymoon for the Arnetts and a
business mission for Smith. Arnett,
experienced aviator and known as a
cautious flyer. was pilot for the
transit company president.
Walter Higley, Denver pilot who
started the search yesterday after he
learned the plape was unsighted after
it left Helena, Mont. last Thursday
on q hazardous e00-mile flight to
Denver, said today the plane smashed
into the peak, which juts like a gigan-
tic thumb from the Eastern Wyoming
plains. 100 miles northwest Of Chey-
enne.
The Denver pilot, representative Of
the same aviation firm in Denver with
which Arnett was associated at In
dianapolis, said ranchers pointed out
spot high up the peak where they
saw a flash Of fame last Thursday
night during storm.
Fire Lasted IS Minutes.
Lyle Pexton, his wife, and Earl
J. Dunn, a rancher, all told me about
the plane" Higley said. They said
they could hear it circling about sos
pm. Thursday night, but couldn't see
it for the fog. They said the sky
cleared little and they were sure
they saw 1t turn south and hit the
peak. They saw one big fash. A
few seconds later there was another
flash and then they saw a big flame
that lasted IS minutes"
The 2-mile high summit is acces-
sible only on foot.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Tax Bill Grumbling in
Congress Stopped by
Practical Suggestion.
BY PAUL MALLON.

Sullen Democratic Senators were
growing about the tax bill few days
back, threatening to upset it. A New
Deal political missionary pulled them
off in q corner one by one. From a
distance he looked very much like
Senator Pat Harrison, the Finance
Committee chairman. What he said
to them substantially was this:
"Whether you like it or not, your
political fortunes are entirely in
the hands OF the President. You
' tOtI be elected or defeated merit
year. not on your record here, but
solely because he is elected or de-
tedted. II you uote to dtscredit any
part OF his program you are poting
against yourselves"
The power of such bread-and-
butter argument will be apparent to
all who have the instinct of self
preservation. 1t turned the trick. The
incipient rebellion was forgotten.
Enmity to Guffey Bill.
Down underneath the House leaders
were strongly against the Guffey coal
bill. Speaker Byrns will never admit
it now, but every insider knows he
was personally opposed to the legis-
lation. So was Chairman Doughton
of the Ways and Means Committee
who swallowed his personal views and
championed the bill for the White
House,

HONOLULU, August 29.-A threat
that Hawaii's delegates would bolt
from President Roosevelt in the DEM
ocratic National Convention in 1895
was made to James A. Farley. Dem
ocratic National Committee chairman,
Saturday by Fred L. Siegling, the

ened that Hawaiis six votes in the
National Convention would be thrown
on the auction block for the highest
bidder In terms of patronage.
Siegling said the threat, made just
before Farley departed for Los An

ing resentment of the oficial party
organization against the manner in
which patronage was administered
here. The great majority Of the Ter
ritorial Committees Endorsements,
Siegling said, had been turned down
in Washington and Republicans ap-
pointed instead.
Siegling said Farley asked him to
submit written reports of grievances

BANKING BILL DUE
FOR QUICK SIGNING
Conference Report Passage
in Both Houses Is Sharp
Contrast.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Prompt presidential approva! Of
the 1885 banking bill, vesting the
Federal Reserve Board with new pow
ers over the Nations credit barometer
was forecast today by its congressional
supporters.
With no debate or roll calls the
conference report on the measure.
composing differences between the
Senate and House, slid through both
chambers yesterday and the legisla-
tion was sent to the White House.
The speedy completion Of congress
sional action contrasted sharply with
the rough voyage encountered by
the bill soon after 1t was introduced
months ago. 1t was delayed in COM
mittee and buffeted in floor debate
AS finally enacted it represented a
compromise. In large part it repre-
sented the more conservative measure
piloted through the Senate by Sen
ator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia.
Seven-Man Control.
Under the provisions of the meas
ure control of credit would be placed
in a reorganized seven-man Reserve
Board which, with S regional Re-
serve Bank representatives, would
serve as an open market committee.
Should it be necessary to contract or
expand credit resources the commit
tee could order the IL Reserve Banks
to buy or sell Government bonds in
the open market.
A major dispute between the Senate
and House centered around this COM
mittee. The House voted to place con-
troll exclusively in the Reserve Board
without giving the bankers a vote in
its operations.
The bill also makes permanent the
temporary law insuring bank deposits
up to $4,000 and slightly liberalizing
Reserve bank loans and member bank
leans on real estate. In addition. it
gives the Reserve Board new powers
over rediscount rates and Reserve re-
quirementS as further checks on ex-
treme cycles of imitation and defation.
Other Provisions Listed.
Other provisions:
The present Reserve Board Of six
members would be reorganized into
a seven-man board, effective February
/. 1886. The Secretary Of the Treas
ury and the controller of the currency
would be removed as ex-oficio mem
bers.
The President would appoint a
board chairman and vice chairman
from among the seven members to
serve for four years Board members
would serve for IA years, with Salaries
increased from $4,000 to $4,000. All
members would have the title of
governor" whereas now there is only
one.
Titles Of the heads of the Reserve
banks would be changed from gov
ernor' to president" They would be
picked for five-year terms by the bank
boards, subject to Reserve Board ap-
proval.

In fact, many OF the Southern
Democratic Congressman who voted
for the legislation had very strong
private misgiWngs One said it was
the hardest vote he ever cast. He has
$4,000 miners in his district clamorirg
for the legislation, which he considers
to be clearly unconstitutional. Also,
the coal operators in that particular
territory seem to favor 1t.
With the Constitution on one side
and the President and the miners on
the other, it did not take this Con-
gresham long to decide which way 10
Jump, even though he did so with re-
luctance.
Roosevelt Scores IS.
Behind these two examples you will
find the explanation for one of the
most unusual of all congressional ses-
sions, now closing. In general Mr..
Roosevelt got about rs per cent of
what he wanted. In general Congress
privately resisted the great bulk of his
program.
FeD, II any, Congressmen per-
sonolly favored the Presidents tar
ideas. The leaders tried to put the
bill OF until merit session, and rad
tcdlly revised it several times. No
one ercept Congressmen from GER
tain mot dllJ mining sections
t0anted the coal bill. Without pres

whelmingly.
The same inner condition was no.
ticeable, to smaller extent, on the
relief bill prevailing wage, etc., the
bank bill and on practically every
major measure except the social Sc
curity bill. But with the exception Of
the House rebellion against the death
sentence" provision of the holding
company bill the resistance never
reached the stage Of an open break.
Textiles Slated Next.
Note to the textile industry: The
most influential New Dealers are al
ready discussing and hoping to apply
the principles of the Guffey-Snyder
coal bill to the textile industry, when

GUFFEY COAL BILL |
AT LAST HURDLE.
Senate Takes Up Little
N. K. A." for Industry as
Special Business.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Guffey coal bill, center Of q
vehement controversy involving the
Constitution. faced its final congress
sional barrier today.
Approved by comparatively slim
margin OF 26 votes in the House yes
terday, the measure designed to set up
q "little N. R. A." for the bituminouS
coal industry was special business" in
the Senate today.
(The bill would create a commission
with power to supervise price fixing by
the producers. 1t also would guaran-
tee the miners right to bargain COL
to handle disputes. Compliance would
be obtained by Is per cent sales tax
on producers, with a 90 per cent
drawback" to those who lived up to
code" provisions).
Senate Approval Seen.
Despite drumfire of criticism that
the bill was unconstitutional, its
hackers predicted speedy Senate ap-
proval. Some others thought the de-
cision was in doubt.
1t has been on President Roosevelt's
list Of wanted legislation for months.
On three occasions, Mr.. Roosevelt OBJ
tanned a postponement Of soft coal
strike to give Congress more time to
consider the bill.
Administration forces manelvered
the measure into a preferred position
on the Senate calendar at the same
time they blocked of an attempt by
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Virginia
to get Attorney General Cummings
opinion Of the contention, voiced by
the bills critics, that is it as uncon-
stitutional as the Supreme Court
found N. r. A. codes.
Behind the scenes, q long standing
feud within the American Federation
of Labor was being fought over the
Guffey bill, too.
Amendment Is Sought.
The International Association Of
Machinists, craft union, was at
tempting to gain Senate support 1or
an amendment that would permit that
union to speak for the machinists in
and about the coal mines in collective
bargaining.
These machinists now belong to the
United Mine Workers, an Industrial
union that takes in all employees in
and about the mines.
Labor men predicted that the ma
chinists would have the amendment
introduced, and that the Senate would
be forced to vote on the issue of
industrial unionism, as opposed to
craft organization.
Faced with that issue by a similar
amendment the House last Saturday
voted down the machinists amend
ment.
