These cars, breaking cable, where they were being hauled up the slope to the en trance, crashed downward, severing an electric clroult. Thla caused a spark and as the cars crashed Into the "yarda" which were trackage In the Interior of the mine,, where loaded ooal cars were assembled be fore being hauled to the surface, the explosion occurred. So great was the blast that the flames belched up ward all the way to the mine en trance, approximately 1,100 feet, and then continued on 100 feet further to he mine tipple, setting this afire. Approximately 60 men were work ing In the "yards" at the time and all of these men were either killed or In jured. At. a late hour tonight the main entrance to mine No. was cleared and rescue workers were using this entrance to enter the mine and con tinue their work. Ab Officer's Statement. Frank H. Crockard, president of the Woodward company, made the following statement at midnight: "Out of 476 men who were In the mine at the time of the explosion It now appears that about 70 were killed and 60 more or less Injured, "Air currents have been establish ed In the mine and all parts can be entered. The mine itself Is not seri ously damaged by the explosion. Cars Break Looee. "The explosion was possibly caused by cars breaking loose and running down the slope, when electric sparks exploded the dust picked up by the speeding cars. "Practically all of the Injured are now out and are being given every attention. While the loss of life Is terrible we are Indeed grateful that more of the large number of work men on duty did not suffer." As darkness came, women, and children, white and blaok, orowded closer about the mine anxiously wait ing In common sorrow word from the pit. The Injured were being removed by resoue crews, while undertakers' assistants were preparing for removal of the dead found in the entries near est the manway.

Cleveland, Nov. 21. Jean Lon guet, leader of the socialist party In the French chamber of depu ties, In an address here tonight, commented on former Premier Clemenceau'a speech In New York last sight, declaring Clemenceau admitted for the Brat time urg ing upon, the . "big four" at the Versailles peace conference- the taking of. the left bank of the Rhine by the French. This, M. Lor.guet said, was what the -socialist group has always con tended was Clemenceau'a policy, but which has always been de nied by the militarists and na tionalists of France. "To take the left bank of the Rhine," M, Longuet said, "would put us In conflict with a large and growing section of German opinion and won. do the very Tiger of France, In Second Address, Declares Europe's Unrest. Is Due To the U. S. LEFT TOO EARLY It Was a Great Mistake to Leave Without- Any Proposal For An Adjustment. GETS THREATENING NOTE . (Br AaeeUtit Iras.) New York, Nov. 11. Georges Cle menceau today laid at the door of the United States blame fer all the unrest In which Europe now seethes. Speaking before his second New Tork audience an audience of busi ness men at the chamber of com merce of the state of New York, the aged French war premier declared that America had left France "In the lurch" after the war. ' ; ' A -WaS); S -SJHSBH l-SmSWilB Mf. tt M without any proposal for an adjust ment of mattere," he declared. "It was the greatest mistake and the source of all the evil that la taking place now." ;- "People ask me "what do you want us to do, " he continued. "I an swer: . I don't know what I want you to do. I want you to Interfere In Europe because you left It too soon. I want you to come back, make a little new trip to Europe, aaylng: Well, now, gentlemen, what'a the matter with you something gone wrong? I will give you some help. Can I be of use?" The chamber speech was but one of the high spots In the most stirring day Clemenceau haa had since he ar rived here Saturday for a tour, the aim of which was to be the winning of America to a closer relationship with France. He's Closely Guarded. Guarded by a double force of motorcycle police, because some one signing himself "world war veteran" had sent a threatening letter, the Tiger rode to the Chamber building, In the downtown financial district, through a big, cheering crowd, Hla Metropolitan opera house address last night apparently had heightened In terest in the stormy, outspoken old statesman. From the chamber he drove to Brooklyn,, where Borough President Riegelmann had proclaimed a half holiday, to review the 106th Infantry regiment. Crossing Manhattan bridge, the Tiger's car plunged at once Into a lane of wildly cheering school children, many of them garb ed In picturesque costume; most of them waving French or American flags; and all of them cheering and crying "Vive Le Tigre" and "Vive La France." The ohlldren, whose number was eatlmated as high as 160,000, dined both sides of the street for nearly five miles all the way to the armory. Clemenceau, visibly moved, kept waving hla gray felt hat and bowing and exclaiming to hla escorts, "Lee petites gosses" (The Jlttle goslings) a French expression of affection. Given a Long Ovation. The 106th armory, which seats about 10,000, waa packed and the Tiger was given a long ovation as he walked slowly in review before the massed troops. After he had placed a wreath on the tablet commemorating the regi ment's dead, Clemenceau faced the uniformed men, and addressed them "as a man of action to men of ac tion." Praising their work In France, which he aald he had good cause to remember, the Tiger declared: "All that remains for you now la to be as great In peace as you were in war. . i will remain until my lost baeath a great -admirer of the United States. " And I will always remember that behind the cltlxens there are al ways the soldiers magnlflloent sol diers." Although It was his day of rraateat ovations there came to the Tiger, too, evidences that hla tour was not to be wholly over a Path of rosea. The threatening letter,' sharp criticisms from Senator Borah and othera In of ficial Washington and adverse news paper comment on his revival of the rrencn plea for a triple alliance. seemed, however, merely to stir the 61 -year-old, statesman to greater animation. . No specific oomment on the criti cisms was obtainable from him, but he defended himself agalnat them In tne opening ot nis chamber of com merce address. "Men have been too much criticised. snd may be over-praised, too." he said. "I think that l my ease. Very often they ascribe to ma too much 111, and aometlmes too much good, I don't believe I have created a great deal of 111 certainly not to . linger.

"Clemenceau In his address of fered no practical solution for the . present difficulties In Europe," he said. , "The policy I recommend Is col laboration with the present Ger man government and people. While the militarists In France ds not trust the German people we advocate trusting them, but not the militarist party here. We say give Germany time to get on her legs and then she will pay. "Instead of the huge repara tions I advocate the employment of skilled labor In the devastated areas of France to rebuild the towns and cities destroyed by the German Invasion."

W. BrWS LETTER Declares That Bailey Should Be Last Man to Criticize Watts Appointment HE RAPS OLD ASSOCIATE Raleigh, Nov. ,11. Governor Cam eron Morrison comes manfully to the defense of Revenue Commissioner Watts this evening with publication of tne letter which Lawyer Bailey wrote his excellency when that offl clal waa distraught over the choice between Maxwell and Watts. "If I erred In the appointment of Colonel Watts," the governor says, "Mr. Bslley Is the last man on earth who ought to attempt tt create prejudice against my administration on aneount of that error. I am satis fied that Mr. Watts is Just aa honest a man aa Mr. Bailey told me he waa In his letter herewith given to the public." The governor says the letter, which was written March 16th last year, came when Mr. Bailey was clos er to his excellency than any other publlo man In the state. "And I re garded him aa one of my moat valu able advisers and devoted friends," Mr. Morrison says. The governor raps on his Old asso ciate about charges of corruption in the primaries and aays the corrupt practices act of E.'J. Justice Is as full of teeth as any aot that Bailey or anybody else can draft The letter to the governor recom mending Mr. Watta Is a paaalonate appeal from Bailey. After the Intro ductory word he says: "His (Watts') long experience as collector of Inter nal revenue, his unusual eommen sense, and his unsurpassed executive ability qualify him for this moat Im portant post to a degree not sur passed by any other available man that I know. "You are too familiar with tha' ex traordinary services of Mr. Watts to the Democratic party to require tes timony, on thla point It would be a pity to disappoint him. He has de served well of his party." In another place he doubts If the Wstts equal be found anywhere In- the state. And finally brother Bailey tells his ex cellency that Colonel Watts haa "un dergone a great change having pre feeeed religion, Joined the church and set out to live a Christian Ufa" Of the utter sincerity of the colonel Mr. Bailey has no doubt , Which shows that when Job wished for his adversary the authorship ot a book tha Bailey lettera were In mind.

GILBERT. (Coprrlfnt, 1922. br fhUldelphU rnblle Us.) Washington, Nov. 21. The progres sives will co-operate with tha Repub licans In the organisation of the sen ate when the next Congress convenes provided the Republicans give them the places which they want In the oommlttees on interstate commerce and finance. i In each of these commltees there will be four vaoanclea on the. Repub lican side. There are 10 Republican memoers in each committee. Senator LaFollette la a member of both, rank ing next to the Republican ohalrraan In both cases. If the progressives should receive all four places In both oommlttees there would be five con servative Republicans and five pro gressive Republicans on each Vom mltee. On many issues the seven Democratic members of the commit tees would vote with the Renuhlican progressives, thus taking the control ' '"a committees away from the reg ular Republicans. xnese two committees will handle tne legislation In which the progres sives are most Interested. Before the Interstate commerce commltee will come the question of amending or re pealing the Esoh-Cummlns law and this was one of the major Issues on which the more radical senators were eleoted. Before the finance commit tee will come the question of amend ing the internal revenue laws and raising tne rates on - the higher Dracaoia or tne moome taxes and re storing the excess profits taxes. The Democrats, as well as the erosm. stvea, are aommltted to this program . r. Places Maeh In Demand. These eight committee olues win be much In demand.. And the coming u e"anq.v na tne comtnsMVortb.

The farm bloo will undoubtedly aim at the control of these two commit tees and as on questions ot taxation ana rmiiroaas it naa more In com mon with the LaFollette bloo than with the more conservative Republi cans It may combine with the pro gressives to obtain the vacant place. Whether Senator LaFollette and his friends obtain all the places which they are likely to seek or not the balance of power In these Jtwo com mittees Is likely to pass to the antl ratlroad, antl-oorporatlon elemente ta the Republican ranks, for Senator Capper the leader of the agricultural bloo in order to retain his Influence with the farmers will have to be as radical as the LaFollette group. Does Nat Oppose Lodge. On all other questions of organisa tion In ths senate the progreaslve bloc will be Indifferent. It has no objection to the re-election of Lodge aa Republican leader, or the election of Senator Watson to succeed him If he retires. . It does not regard the leadership aa Important with regard to the other committees. All It alma to do Is to prevent the scattering of Its members among the various com mittees where they will loee their power and influence. It haa no Intention to urge aban donment of the seniority system as was proposed by Senator MoCormick. The aentorlty system haa brought Mr. LaFollette up to second place In the two oommlttees In which he and his followers are moat Interested, finance and Interstate commerce and Sena tor Borah up to second place In for eign relations. In the course of the next few yesrs under the seniority system each will normally become chairman of an Important committee. Can Depend Oa six Vote. A study of the situation shows that the LaFollette bloc can depend upon the votes of the following senators on the essential features ot Its pro gram: LaFollette. Brookhart, Frasier, Ladd, Norrla and Bhlpstead. This Is Just enough to hold the balance of power In the senate. On many Issues the bloc will have the votes of Borah, Howell, the new senator from Ne braska, Johnson and Capper. There are not apparently enough sure votes In the LaFollette bloo to prevent the organisation of the sen ate by the Republicans unless the bloo would go to the length of vot ing with the Democrats on organisa tion In case the Republican majority refueed the progressives the places of finance and interstate commerce which tbey desire. And it is doubt ful whether the left wing Republi cans will go to that length.- .. ,,WhatU .mora likely ..is. that the farm bios and the LaFollette bloo to gether will get enough places on these committees to take their eon troh acting with the Democrata, , , , (Continued on Page Eight) Govern Olcott, of Ku Klux Klan Is , f; (Cnselal U Pills Hess.)

The railroads claimed, he said, that under the tat law the state authori ties had discriminated agalnat them, oontrary to the statute requiring uniformity of taxation. Attack Validity of Tax. The validity of the tax was also challenged, Mr. Prince explained, on the ground that all property had been exempted from state taxation. The railroads Involved In the anneals contended, he added, that they were required to pay higher taxes than aoma competitors, the same method of valuation not having been fol lowed, with all railroads In ths state. Tha tax waa also objectionable, coun sel argued, aa a burden upon Inter state commerce.

J Washington, Nov. 22, The road was swiftly cleared today for an early end of the house fight over the administrative shipping bill, which will begin tomorrow. , A special resolution giving ths bill right of way was put through the house by a vote of J00 to -110, It followed party llnea, although three Democrata supported and 16 Republicans opposed It Generally speaking, leadens aald, It did not In dicate the line up when the houas votes on final passage November 29. Immediately after the action of the house, Democrata agreed at a party caucus to stand up solidly against the measure, enactment of which was urged yesterday by President Hard ing In an address to a Joint session of Congress. One Democrat at the caucua 1 O'Connor of Louisiana- served notice that he would not be bound by the decision, at the aama time1 announcing he waa In favdr of the bill. The three Democrats Joining Re publicans In the move to get the measure before the house were O'Connor, Lea, California, and Mo Duffle, Alabama. Republicans vot ing against It were: Beck, Browne, Freer, Lamport, John M. Nelaon and Volght all of Wisconsin; Boles, Dickinson, Hull, Kopp, Dowell and Towner, Iowa; Clague and Keller, Mlnneaota; Janjet, Mlchlgsn, and Sinclair, North Dakota.

Soldier Bonus to Fore The soldier bonus was Injected Into the debate by Representative John son, Republican, South Dakota, who .fnno u nce4.Jn, would. oU,.,n.. aermlU tnnoose to consider the bill, but would not vote for Its passage. Mr. Johnson declared no party eould sur vive that refused to give a bonus to soldiers and than -gave a bonus to ships. Sharply contrasting views were presented by Representative Mondell, Wyoming, the Republican leader, and Representative Garrett Tennessee, the Democratic leader. Mr. Mondel) asserted that the Republican admin istration had not been able In 16 montha to cure the evils left by a Democratic administration, particu larly with reference to the shipping problem. It was a question, he said, of a constructive or a destructive policy. Turning to members on- the Republican side, Mr. Mondell said they could not escape the responsi bility of meeting the Issue In this Congress. , Mr. Garrett declared that in at tempting to force the bill through the Republican administration "with the death rattle In Its throat waa running true to form In favoring the special Interests." It was surprising, he said, that the drive for the bill should be made Immediately after the administration had been "re pudiated and discredited" at the polls. Pleading for action. Chairman Campbell, of the rules committee, challenged opponents of the bill to bring forward something better. Taking stock tonight after the first skirmish, Republican leaders as serted the bill would pass the house with at least 16 votes to spare, but they declined to speculate on Us chances In the senate. The view waa expressed by others that If defeated It would go down at the hands of ths Republicans, and that the ques tion, of final snactment by the houas depended upon the fate of a raft of amendments to be offered.

Feltpn, of Georgia, the first woman senator, followed by her retirement from the publlo stage. Tonight she was en route home ward. Every wish of the feminine polit ical pathfinder to be sworn In and placed legally on the senate rolls, to answer a senate roll call and to make a brief address had been gratified before she left the capital. 'indeed I feel like I am the hap piest woman In the United States," the 87-year-old lady said, amid the applause of senators and spectators, In the flret address ever made by a woman In the senate. Immediately afterward, her successor, Walter F. George,, whose gracloua delay in pre senting his election credentials had made reception of the woman sena tor possible, was administered the oath and Mrs, Felton became a former-senator. Appointed October S, upon the death of Senator Thom as E. Wataon, and aworn in yester day, her actual senate service was 22 .hours and 26 minutes. Complete poise and earnestness marked Mrs. Felton's address, made from the center aisle. Her voice reached all parts of the chamber without quaver of age, or agitation. She spoke extemporaneously, Ignor ing notes in her hand, and with her quaint humor drewNaughs from sen ators and a round of applause at the close. She thanked the senate for a "beautiful hospitable welcome" and was applauded when alts said: "You can take this remnant of the old south that has never flickered In her patriotism snd you can be very well assured that she Is not going Do disgrace her commission." In closing she declared that wom en would bring to the senate ability, Integrity and exalted purpoee. Mrs. Felton witnessed the admin istration of the oath to Senator George, but smilingly declined hit offer to accompany him to the rost rum for the ceremony. She remained at the session as a former member until adjournment and left Washing ton tonight for her Georgia' home, refusing to remain In the capital tor events planned by her admirers, Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia, today offered a resolution to give Mrs, Felton full pay and perquisites of her "term.
