WASHINGTON, June 18-While
the Administration debated pro-
cedure in handling of charges of
graft" and corruption" made by
Ewing Y. Mitchell, the ousted as
sistant secretary OF commerce prom
ised a renewal today of his attack.
He sent notices to newspaper men
that he would hold a press confer
ence this morning to elaborate his
charges that "racketeers," money
changers and high pressure lobby
lists" dominated the Department Of
Commerce.
Mr.. Mitchell indicated he would
have more to say regarding alleged
extravaganza, waste and dry-rot'
in some of that Departments
bureaus. He made public yesterday
letters to President Roosevelt
charging "scandalous abuses" by
Commerce Department Bureaus.
Administration Is Silent
The Administration remained
silent regarding the charges, except
for an announcement by Secretary
OF Commerce Daniel Roper that Mr.
Mitchell's charges tad been
brought to the attention of the De-
.rCment of Justice with the request
that they be promptly and thor
OughlV investigated.
The Senate Commerce Commit
tee, meeting today to discuss con-
firmation of John Monroe johnson
as Mr.. Mitchell's successor, was ex-
pected to take up Mr.. Mitchell's
charges. A poll of the committee
indicated a favorable report on the
nomination.
Senator Royal S. Copeland Cd,
N. ", chairman, said the commit
tee would decide whether to inquire
into Mr.. Mitchell's charges. Sena-
tor Arthur Vandenberg (R., MichD :,
said he would insist the committee
call Mr.. Mitchell to hear charges
and any evidence he may have.

committee fails to take cognizance
of the Mitchell charges he will de-
mand the accusations concerning
favoritism in ship subsidies be in

Senator Copeland said Mr. Mitch
ell will have full opportunity to
amplify his charges of graft and
corruption in the Steamboat IN

Aeronautics."
His allegations may have bear

Coming at intervals between bril-
liant flashes of sunshine, the rain
was so heavy that it kept several
commercial planes grounded at Mu-
nicipal Airport all day.
The rain, at times, formed a
binding sheet and kept motorists at
a slow pace. Visibility at Municipal
Airport was reduced to three-quar-
tiers of a mile at 1877 last night, the
time of the heaviest showers.
Farmers kept close watch on the
rivers in the southwestern section
of the state with 2.15 inches of rain
fall reported at Elliston since yes
terday.
The rains will continue through
out today and tomorrow followed by
a cool weather field moving in from
the Northwest. J. H. Arlington,
Federal meteorologist, said. The
temperatures are expected to go
below so degrees tonight.
A victim of the rains was Robert
Weinberg, 6, of 1917 Kelly-st, who
was struck by car and bruised
about the hip and side as he was
wading in the street near his home
last night during momentary lull
in the storm.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-Ad-

today that there was strong likel-

The bill, which would bolster Fed

The men, holding a dozen
or more guards as hostages,

no contact has been made with the
prisoners and that the nature of
their grievance has not been deter
mined.
"All we know is that they have
mutinied," a spokesman for Warden
Lacey M. Simpson said I'VE don't
know who is leading the strike or
even if the prisoners have guns or
other weapons"
Bob Murray, mine superintendent,
brought back word that the pris-
oners refused to work after he went
down with the men at $50 o'clock.
Warden Simpson Immediately sta
toned two score guards, armed with
tear gas at the head of the shaft.
and A. j. Graham, captain of the
guard, went into the mine to learn
the cause of the trouble.
Warden Simpson took personal
charge of the guards at the mine
head.
All but one telephone line from
the surface to the mine were sew
cred by the prisoners and Warden
Simpson was having trouble trying
to contact leaders of the revolt over
the lone line.
The mine level on which the pris-
oners are congregated with their
hostages is 100 feet below the sur
face.
