Btensland left Chicago on July 14,
1906, and it was not until August 7 that
the bank was closed by the state bank

tegrity and the confidence reposed In
him by small tradesmen and wage

steadily Increasing shortage.
The suicido of the bank's paying

the death of another from worry, and

[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.

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."

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."

OF GOVERNORS
CHIEF EXECUTIVES NOT SURE
OF RIGHTS OF OFFICE
Delegates at Conference In \A4eshing.
t#r Express Divergent Views as
to Taking Stand Without
Calling Consultations
• [Associated Press] #
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—After per
fecting plans for future conclaves, the
conference of governors today adjourn
ed to meet at one of the stato capitals
between next Thanksgiving and Christ
mas.
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.

THIRD FAILURE IS RESUW OF
HOCKING POOL
THREE MILLIONS INVOLVED IN
LATEST CRASH
Roberts, Hall 4. Crlss of New York
and Cincinnati Forced to Sus
pend Because of Collapse
of the Combine
[Associated rrosp]
NEW YORK, J;iii. 20.— Huberts, Hall
& Crlsa of New York and Cincinnati
were forced to suspend as members of
the New York stock exchange today
following the two failures yesterday
brought ai>mit by the collapse of thu
Columbus and Hooking Coal and Iron
pool.
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.
