Paul O. Stens land, former president of the Milwau kee Avenue Stale bank of Chicago, and | Henry W. Herlng, formerly its cash ier, who wire convicted In connection ■with the wrecking of tho bank and the disappearance of $1,300,000 of its funds, ■were paroled today. Stcnsland, who was captured after a sensational chase extending across the Atlantic ocean, Into Europe, and to Morocco, has served three years, three months and twenty-four days. Allowing for good behavior, Ills time represents a sentence of four years, fix months and eight days. He was Bent to the penitentiary on an indetermin ate sentence or from one to ten years. Ilciing was given a similar sentence. Arguments before the board of par dons on behalf of the prisoners was that their guilt consisted chiefly in try ing to cover up shortages while strug gling to set the bank out of difficulty, tjtonsland is almost 63 years of age. Looting of Bank The looting of tho Milwaukee Avenue State bank Involved the aavirgs of 22, --000 depositors and tho disappearance of 51,300,000 of deposits. Btensland left Chicago on July 14, 1906, and it was not until August 7 that the bank was closed by the state bank ing examiner. stensland's reputed In tegrity and the confidence reposed In him by small tradesmen and wage earners led both authorities and vic tims of the failure to believe for a time that undiscovered securities and care- Jess bookkeeping would account for the steadily Increasing shortage. The suicido of the bank's paying teller and of three ruined depositors, the death of another from worry, and lour victims adjudged insane from the same cause, added an element of trage . dy to the affair. In tho meantime the fugitive bank president had been traced to Tangier, Morocco, whore he was arrested Sep tember 3. 1806. Hering gave himself up.

MINERS PLAN TO COMBINE FORCES METAL AND COAL WORKERS LIKELY TO UNITE Gigantic Labor Union Organization Is Projected as Only Solution to Problem of Obtaining Rights from Employers [Associates Press] INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 20.— merger of resources and interests of the West ern Federation of Miners and of the I United Mine Workers of America to embrace all organized mine workers of the United States and Canada is in prospect in the convention of the United Mine Workers, now In session hero. President Lewis tomorrow will ap point a committee of seven, Including himself, to confer with a similar com mittee sent by the Western Federation of Miners. The purpose of the coalition was pre sented to the convention by Charles H. Moyer, president, and C. B. Mnhoney, I vice president of the Western Federa tion of Miners, and by T. L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers. Moyer urged, unless Iron and coal miners of both north and south com bine, it will be Impossible to carry through the projected attack on the United States Steel Corporation. Copper Miners Unaided He also pleaded that in the copper trust campaign against the copper miners the copper miners were stand- Ing alone. Committees of the two organizations will draw up a plan of alliance which will be either an amalgamation or a working agreement, and it will be of fered to this convention for ratification. Charles 11. Moyer, president, and C. E. Mahoney, vice president, of the Western Federation, chiefly of metal miners, headed a delegation from their organization and made speeches urg ing; an offensive and defensive league of all miners as the only solution of their "problem." Moyer declared tho Interests of the ITK-tal miners and coal miners were identical and that If It were not pos sible to P-malgamate they should en gage In a close working agreement. He asked tho convention to take a stand against William Randolph Hearst, "the great friend of organized labor," who is charged with having been influential In "locking out" or ganized miners In the northwest. LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1910. DEMOCRATS IN EXCITING MELEE G. 0. P. LEADERS GET HURRY CALL TO SAVE DAY LLOYD REFUSES TO TAKE JOB REFUSED TO RAINEY Dramatic Scenes Attend Appointment of Mlssourian on Committee to Investigate Ballinger.Pinchot Controversy [Associated Press] WASHINGTON, Jan. -U—An at tempt by Representative Lloyd of Mis souri to resign as a member of the Joint congressional committee to in vestigate tho Hallinger-Plnchot con troversy, brought about v curious con dition today, in which the house, for a time, found itself practically in Ihe control of the minority, actual con trol of tlie body being prevented only by parliamentary tactics. It having been given out that there would be a Democratic caucus at 4:;!0 p m, most of the Republican mem bers went home, while practically every Democrat was li. his place. Motions to adjourn were defeated by vociferous choruses from the Demo cratic side. , Mr Lloyd's resignation was read, whereupon Representative Tawncy made the point of order that no OW Wai authorized to receive it and would not be so authorized until tho joint committeo should bo organised. Even then he explained, the < ommiUce would havo authority to receive a resigna tion of one of Us members only by Inference Mr Tawncy undertook to demon strate that Mr. Lloyd, having been elected to membership on the commit tee could not escape service. This view was combated by Mr. Underwood of Alabama, who taid tho house could accept the resignation. Lloyd Shut Out Mr. Lloyd attonpted to obtain the floor for an explanation, but was barred by the parliamentary situation. Mr Tawncy, seeing the impossibility of an adjournment, attempted to re sume consideration of i)\e deficiency bl 1 as a means to force an adjourn- Again the Democrats, In overwhelm ing numbers, voted down his motion. Renewing his motion to adjourn, Mr. Tawney demanded a roll call on the round that no quorum was present. While the roll call was in progress ana Republican members were being called from their homes and hotels several miles away, Mr. Underwood arose to make an explanation. After some delay, the Alabaman suc ceeded in Baying there had been a gen eral misunderstanding. He explained that he had no knowledge of Mr. Lloyd's intention to offer his resigna tion at that time. The minority, he added, had not purposely taken ad vantage of the absence of Republican members. . He said it was manifestly fair that he should move to adjourn, and in doing so he received unanimous sup port, and the house at 6:05 p. m. ad journed. Just thirty-five minutes alter the time agreed upon for the Demo cratic caucus. Caucus Assemble* The Democratic caucus then as sembled. Representative Rainey o£ Illinois, who was denied a place on the Ballinger-Pinehot committee by a vote of the Republicans, addressed his col leagues and withdrew his name from further consideration in that connec tion. Representative James also asked to be relieved from service on the committee, but on motion of Mr. Rai ney the caucus voted to ask Jlr. James to continue. Mr. Lloyd having stated a desire to be left off the committee, the caucus expressed a vote of confidence in Mr. Lloyd ana decided to meet again to morrow night, when tho question of acting on the latter^ successor will be taken up. A motion by Mr. Rlsson of Alabama that Mr. Clayton of Alabama, chair man of the caucus, appoint a commtt ti a to consider the vacancy on the in vestigating committee and to draw up an address to the, country was adopt ed 49 to 48. Poindexter's Reasons Mr. Poindexter of Washington, tU.e lone Republican insurgent who voted on the floor of tho house today in fa vor of accepting the Democratic cau cus nominees for tho investigating committee, issued a lengthy statement today, explaining his attitude. •■I do not think the Republican par ty is responsible in any way for the Democratic. membership," he said, "and It did not devolve on it to in quire into tlvir qualifications. "If the Republican organization should have the right to select the Democratic membership the purpose of bi-partisan representation would bo defeated. Tho Republican party would be responsible for the whole in vestigation if it named the entire com mittee." Mr. Poindexter said tha rules com mittee of tho house had introduced the original resolution instigating the in vestigation in such a manner as to :itute an attack upon the forestry service and prematurely "brand Secre tary liallingcr as a pure and innocent man." CANNON MEETS WITH HUMILIATING DEFEAT House Selects Committee to Investi. gate Pinchot.Ballinger Controver sy—Murdock Says Legislative Autocracy Is Doomed WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—"Legislat ive autocracy is on the run. Its chief exponent, Speaker Cannon, has lost his power, and every effort will be made to see that his legislative system goes With him," said Insurgent Leader Mur dock of Kansas, commenting on the action of the house today in naming the Ballingor-Pinuhot investigating committee. Commenting on the selection of the committee by tho houso Mr. Murdock said: "Tho real issue In the matter of the selection, of an Investigating committee was whether the house could sell I I committee at all, and whether, when selected, it would be a better commit tee than tho one selected by tha speaker. "The house has proved that it can select Its own committee, and has se lected a committee of all elements of the house, and all parts of the country are represented, whereas if the speaker had selectod It It would have been made up of htn personal favorites. Com mltteemen appointed by tho speaker would have owed their places to him. The mm now named one their places to the house. "This BtfckM all the difference In the world, and It Is the Ont substantial ■tcp In the direction of correcting pres ent legislative procedure, and marks an epoch. Its chief proponent, Joseph Q. Cannon, has lost hla power, and every effort will bo made to see that his legis lative system goe* with him." RAINEY'S REJECTION .

The final sessions were marked by a divergence of views as to the wisdom of the state executives as a body pass ing resolutions for or against any prop osition. Several governors maintained the greatest good would bo had by a dig nified stand upon public subjects, while others claimed the conference was in the nature of a school for governors, where each learned the experience of his fellows. Eventually all resolutions calling fur a formal expression were left in abey ance. * A subcommittee of the League of submitted a statement recommending sumbittec] a statement recommending that the political status of women bo made ono of the topics at the next mooting. The committee appointed yesterday to coniidsr v resolution introduced by Governor Eberhardt of Minnesota, rel ative- to recommending legislation to congress in regard to the Jurisdiction of federal and state courts, reported that such recommendations came with in the province of the president of the United States and were, not within the scope of the conference. No action was taken on the report. Governor Shafroth of Colorado in troduced a resolution stating that it was the sense of the conference that the control and regulation of water power! should rest in the states. This was referred to a committee consisting of Governors Shafroth, Hughes of New York and Weeks of Connecticut. This committee was un able to report and the matter will prob ably be taken up at the next confer ence. Governor Brady of Idaho addressed the i 'inference on "Irrigation." "Mining" was the topic of Governor Sloan of Arizona. Qovsrnor Carroll of lowa rood a pa per on "Divorce." He had little hi i"\ he said, of ever living to see absolute uniformity in laws on this or any other subject, but he thought some polntl In regard to the divorce laws could be made uniform, such as length of resi dence necessary to obtain a divorce, length of time before remarriage, and the causes for divorces. As corrective measures he recommended education and better marriage laws. Governor Srry of Utah presided at the morning session. BRADLEY CONDEMNS NIGHT-RIDER STORY Kentucky Senator Vigorously Protests Against the Published Accounts WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Replying from the Moor of the senate to a re cently published newipaper article on nlght-rldlng In Kentucky, its causes, and results, Senator Bradley of that stale today Uttered a vigorous protest against what lie declared Was the in justice and tlie falsity of the Btory. lie took exception to the assertion that conditions in Kentucky today are as lamentable as he himself acknowl edged in his speech they were in ISOT ami 1(08, During that period, he said, he had denounced the disgraceful con ditions, and tilers is no Kentuckian who loves his State, he added, "who has condoned them. 1' The inspiration of the article, he de clared, is easily discovered. "The whole object of the attack," he declared, "is to prejudice the mind o{ congress, of the president and of the department of justice against the to bacconists of Kentucky, in order that the^o-caiied independents and ihelr allies may cause, whether Justly or not, proceedings to be Inaugurated by tin 1 government against theso societies under the Bherman law." Mr. Bradley asserted the "trusts and not the night-riders" wi Mble for all the crimes committed In Ken tucky in connection with the tobacco troubles.

Hugh F. Crlss was tho board mem ber of the linn and had charge of tho Hocking pool on the exchange. He estimates tho liabilities of tho firm at $3,000,000, but Is quoted as laying that he hoped to pay "100 cents on the dollar, unlea governors of the exciiange permit welching on tho part of tho other members with whom I had con tracts." The feeling among members of the exchange Is that Criss has been made to take more than his share of the blame and that all the participants ought to bo punished for their part in thu episode. Investigation On Affairs of all three firms Involved— .T. M. Flske & Co., and Lathrop, Has- Kins it Co., which suspended yester day, as well as Hobcrts, Hall & Crlss —are now being investigated by the committee on insolvencies of the ex change. liut it is not unlikely that the situ ation' may get beyond the jurisdiction of this committee, necessitating the ap pointment of a special committee with plenary power, such as was done in the Itock Island ease. In announcing the failure of Roberts, Hall & Crlss, the president of the ex change said there were peculiar cir cumstances cilli-.g for rigid investi gation. These circumstances, as Crlss' de clarations indicate, Imply bad faith on the part of the old members of the so-called pool. A petition to remove the stock of the Columbus & Hocking Coal and Iron company from the list of the stock exchange, is said to bo under consid eration.
