Hancock, Mich., Feb. 7. Representa
tive E. T. Taylor, of Colorado, chair
man of the subcommittee of the bouse
mines committee announced tonight
that the probe into the Calumet copper
fctriko will be made on the broadest
scop- possible.
"The problem on the copper range
is a big one," said the Colorado con
gresttman, "but indefinitely bigger is
the nationwide clash between labor
and capital. We are seeking not merely
a solution of this prolonged feud in the
copper country, but a rational solution
for ail labor disputes."
Taylor is experienced in probing
mine strikes. As a member of a Colo
rado Henate cimmittee be investigated
conditj&ons at Cripple Creek several
ears ago. Representative J. J. Cassey,
of Pennsylvania, who accompanid him

probe into mone strikes.
Attoraeys for the mine companies
conferred with the two mine probers
shartlv after their arrival here this
afternoon. In the absence of Represen
tative Howell, of Utah, who is expect
ed to join the committee here tomor
row no definite program was agreed
upon, bu it was practically agreed that
the first session w-ill be held Monday
morning.
The miners will present their side
first and! offer at least one hundred
witnesses to support their claims that
constitutional rights have been ignor
ed. The companies witnesses will fol
low. Foreno6ii""aflernooh'"aild" probably
night sessions will be held in the prin
cipal to was of the copper country and
the probe is expected to last at lease
three weefcs.
James llcNaughton. "boss" of the
copper country, is expected to arrive
here tomorrow from Chicago. Chair
man Taylor would not say tonight
that, a subpoena would be issued for
the Calumert and Hecla company's gen
eral manager, but he said he had re
assurances from the muie owners that
they wee ivilling to a "show down" t
and would willingly pesent any evi-i
dence the committee dsied. without!
disturbing the peace of mind of the
sergeant at arms. McNaughton was
not questioned when Governor Ferris
conducted lus probe here a short time
ago.
Though the two members here to
night would not discuss it, it was evi
dent that the committee is disappoint
ed at the failure of Governor Fer
ris and state authorities to accept the
committee's invitation to co-operate
iu the probe. Dispatches from Lan
sing quoted the governor as refusing
to attend the hearing or send a rep
resentative. An invitation was ex
tended for tlie admitted purpose of pre
venting surface friction between fed
eral and state representatives.
The full strength of the probing
body is not expected to be at work un
til late next week, when Representa
tive Hamlin, of Missouri, and Switzer,
of Ohio, arrive.
Columbia, S. C, Feb. 7. The long
expected sensation in connection with
the legislative investigat-on of the
state hospital for the insane occurred
this afternoon while Dr. J. W. Bab
cock, superintendent of the hospital,
was on the stand. Dr. Babcock had to
be pressed by the investigating com
mittee to sell what he knew about
rumored reports affecting Dr. Saun
ders, his assistant, who is a womau.
In reply, he began to relate a conver
sation which be said occurred at the
hom of Governor Blease's sister.
When Dr. Babcock reached the word
sister, Governor Blease, who was pres
ent at the inquiry, sprank to his feet
with the exclamation. "This is false."
The governor then forbade Dr. Bab
cock to draw his sister's name into it,
threatening to put him where he
could not talk if he did so. Governor
Blease was then sworn and took the
witness stand.
The governor stated that he hoped
to have all convicts freed from the
state penitentiary here by August 1,
1914, and he urged that the prison
be converted into a tuberculosis bos
pitaJ. for negroes. He stated flatly that
lie would veto any apropnation for
the further development of the i-sand
bottom lands" at State Park, where it
is proposed to establish the new hos
pital for the insane. He regarded the
effort to enact legislation authorizing
the sale of the hospital property in
Columbia as a "steal."
"I came into the office of Governor
three years ago determined to oust
Babcock," he said, "because he was a
traitor to James H. Tillman during
his trial at Lexington, "S. C, for the
murder of Gonzales ten years ago."
"Dr. Saunders is unnecessarily in
terfering with the work of the other
officials of the asylum, and is today
the bone of contention' between Dr.
Babcock, the board of regents and
the governor, and should be removed,"
he asserted.
He told the women to leave the
room at the opening of his address, be
cause he was going "to use some very
plain languagge," They left.
He reviewed in detail the turbulent
situation surrounding the hospital
officials for the past several years and
made many caustic comments. .
Considerable politics was injected
into his remarks.

Washington. Feb. . 7. Complaints

gration of the Japanese to the Pacififie.
coast territory, have been placed be-
before the state department, it was
learned tonight. Sugar and pineapple
plantation owners in Hawaii are charg
ed with encouraging, if not actually
aiding, immigration of Japanese.
Hawaiian citizens, not financcially
interested or fighting the plantation
owners, it is reported have appealed
to the administration to stop the tide
of Japanese immigration to the "gem
of the Pacific."
The state department has been told,
it is alleged, that of 10.200 Japanese
who were admitted to this country in
1913, more than fi.OOO settled in
Hawaii. Their cheap labor is desired,
it is alleged, by the sugar and pineap
ple growers. That the Japanese ques
tion is more serious to Hawaii than
to California, is recited in the com
plaints made here.
Another difficulty faciug the admin
istration in its negotiation with Japan
which developed today, was a report
from South Carolina that Governor
Cole Blease is threatening to demand

Washington, Feb. 7. Practically un

amount of the apropriation and without
injecting the Jones amendment, which
specified that, the negro colleges should

of the amounts allotted to the various
Southern states, the senate, late this
afternoon, passed the Smith-Lever ag

BOARD OF FOOD AND
DRUG INSPECTORS
NOW ABOLISHED
Washington. Feb. 7. The board of
food and drug inspection in the depart
ment of agriculture which often was
the center of attack by Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley, former chief chemist, has been
abolished by Secretary Houston.
At the department of agriculture, it
was said the board has, been abolished
in the interest of efficiency and econ
omy. Dr. Carl Alsberg, who succeeded
Dr. Wiley as pure food chief, will de

Secretary Bryan so far has not di

a new treaty with Japanese is the
object of present negotiations. But he
lias intimated that Japan may not
object to statuary federal .imitations
of her citizens.
California congressmen who have
"carried the flag" in the recent tight

the immigration bill declared tonight
that there was little if any hope of
such legislation at this session.
"When the house voted down the
Hays and Baker amendment I gave up

That some new treaty or agreement
will be concluded with Japan before
congress can fake any action next

contigent.

Chicago, Feb. 7. Zero weather for

the area of extreme cold was moving

promised for Monday and Tuesday.
Tonight, the center of the cold wave
was located in Nebraska and western
Towa. Below zero temperatures were
reported from this region and from
the Dakotas but as the cold wave
moves east it is decreasing in severi

probably will take command of the

General Tasker H. Bliss is : relieved

Major General W. W. Witherspoon
probably will become chief of staff

Mexico City tonight was the scene
of intense activity and excitement.
To impress the people, Huerta kept
his troops moving and artillery was
cn display at every point of vantage.
The soldiers guarding the capital and
palace -were ordered to leep in arms.
Animated groups of natives lurked in
the shadows talking over the situa
tion in whispers and the usual Satur
day nisht merrymaking of the capital
was misting.
In the ioreign colonies 'there was
little visible excitement, but the de
fense organizations held meetings and
j saw that verything was ready for an
emergency. All the foreign residents
have made arranuements. whereby
they can gather at a selected central
point at a mouint's notice. Automo
biles are inreadiness to convey the

Americans here experienced in Mex
ican affairs said tonight they did not
expect the threatened outbreak to
cone tomorrow because of the pre
paredness of Huerta. The presence
of so many troops and the mounting
of guns throughout the city, they
said, demonstrated to the conspirators
that the government is prepared to
defend itself to the last ditch. Those
