NEW TITLE FOR
SPEAKER CANNON
Received Letter Addressed to “The
Government of the United
States."
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Speaker
Cannon is “the Government of the
United States.”
At least the Postoffice Department
recognizes him as stick, and to-day
delivered to him a letter so address
ed. The missive was addressed sim
ply: "The Government of the United
States. Washington."
it was written In German and sign
ed by Mrs. Otttttfk Hoffman, a Ger
man Jew and Russian citizen, and
her two sons, Karl and Gustav, ull of
Kansas City, Mo.
The writers want Uncle Sam to put
a stop to what they allege is a scries
of persecutions directed at them, th«>y
think, because of their Russian citi
zenship.
After Speaker Cannon had suffici
ently enjoyed being addressed as the
whole Government of the nation, he
turned the letter over to Representa
tive norland, ot Kansas City. Mo.,
who. in turn, has referred It to the
Rusian Ambassador, Baron Rosen.

MITCHELL TALKS
ON MINE DISASTERS
Says Chungablo Atmospheric Con
ditions Are Responsible
For Explosions. - ®
NEW YORK. Feb. 4.—Changeable
atmospheric conditions which are un
usually prevalent at this time of the
year, are to a large extent thy cause
of the unusual number of fatal mine
disasters In the past week, accord
ing to John Mitchell, former presi
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America and now chairman of the
trade agreement department of the
National Clvkt Federation. Discuss
ing the recent tragedies; Mitchell ex
plained that cold air entering the
workings, meets the warmer and
more fetid air within and tends to
Increase gas accumulations and the
possibility of explosions.
“However." ' said Mr. Mitchell,
"most mine disasters could be avoid
ed If certain regulations were enforc
ed and the men were required to
: erve an apprenticeship of three or
four years.”
The regulations suggested by Mitch
ell follow:
Proper ventilation of the mines.
Proper escape shafts for emergen
| cy use.
Telephonic communication install
ed, with sounding pipes through
which liquid food could be transmit
ted.
Compartments built in which Im
prisoned men could live until resoua
parties could reach them.
“Explosions are due to a large ex
i tent." continued Mitchell, “to Inad
equate mining laws In various State*,
which are not nearly so strict or so
well enforced here as in other coun
tries. This la particularly true of
Colorado, where seventy-five mea
were killed on-Monday."
