C. Green of Fargo and ‘le L. Twichell, state representatives, brother and attorney. Both Mr. Green and L. L. Twichell offéred interpolations at times, and F. J.. Graham, ‘committee counsel, had difficulty in attempting to keep Treadwell Twichell down to the story of, the facts, as he called them. At one time F. A. Vogel, mem’ of the committee, declared that “ are not going. to have any squabble here. If these attorneys can't keep ouiet we'll te!l them to sit back with the spectators.” Corrects Testimony Treadwell Twichell, on the wit- ness stand, defended W. Black, chief engineer of the Highway Coni- mission with respect to the settle- ment on the road, but declared th.t he wanted to correct Mr. Black’s testimony in a few respects, espec- ially with reference to the visits Mr. Black made to the job and his conversations with Mr. Black. Mr. Black had said he had gone; over the project once. Mr. Twichell’ declared he went over it three aie | ferent times during 1923. Mr. Black had said he believed that he confer- red with Mr. Twichell in Fargo about the matter, and Mr. Twichell. related two conferences, one in Twichell’s room in the Annex Hotel in Fargo) and another in the First National Bank in Fargo with bank officers and attorneys. Mr. Twichell began to detail his experiences with the job, which con- ‘tinued from 1920 to late in 19234 when the 14% miles of road was finally compfeted. Mr. Graham sought to have Mr. Twichell relate actual conversation with regard to his statements concerning the board of county commissioners and Highway Commission accepting changes in the road, but Mr. Twichell declared that \they accepted the work and that was ‘all there was to it, and that the con- versations couldn’t bé repeated. Details Conversations Mr. Twichell went into detail about conversations with various engineers and Mr. Graham again sought to keep him down to what he said were ma- terial fe “I can't understand how a conver- sation with every Tom, Dick and Harry would affect this,” said Mr. Graham. Twichell said he charged a faulty pian was made for the road. He went ahead to tell of the various clay pits dug and abandoned. One pit, he said, was abandoned by Mr. Black in 1923, He “said that Mr. Black during a trip’ to, thie ‘job in 19283 ordered changes made‘ on 1,100 feet of road, and a new top made. So, he: said, on Mr. Black's order, he did the same thing’ over in 1928 vicea! he did in. 1920: At various times the contractor was asked to slow up for the stenog- rapher and also to sit back so he wouldn’t jar the table at which the reporter was working. _ With respect to Jack Gavin, divi- mn engineer. on the job, whose fig- es were not accepted by Mr. Black, ‘Twichell said that he and Gavin were not friends, and that they work- ed together feeling hostile toward one another. “I saw Mr. Black and I said some things to him about Mr. Gavin which he seemed to resent very much, and he has never been on the job since,” said Twichell. Abandoned Figures He said Black had ssid in the First National Bank in Fargo that he abandoned figures of Gavin's be- cause they were hot honest. Twi- chell denied he had an understand- ing with Black about final settle- ment, Twichell declared first information about arbitration of, the contract come from his brother, L. L.

He defended lack against charges he said were ~~ that Black spoke for him, and wi on to tell about the board of arbitration, “There isn’t any use in you giving us a lecture on the law, we just want the facts,” interjected Judge Graham.

The House of Representatives, by its action yesterday afternoon, indi- cuted a policy against radical changes ng the banking situation in ate. Several bank bills, one of them a Senate bill, came before the House during ‘its session. House action on banking bills follows: Killed House Bill 234, providing for compulsory deposit of public jfunds in the Bank of North Dakota and for establishment of branch banks of the Bank of North Dakota, in various counties. Killed House Bill No. 85, which would differentiate in amount of in- terest paid on time deposits, 80 three percent would be maximum payable on certificates of deposit of six months standing or less and four percent per annum on other certifi- cates, provided the Guaranty Fund commission might increase the au- thorized rate to 5 percent.

Debate Branch Banks The House engaged in brief debate on House Bill No. 284, restoring the compulsory deposit of public funds feature of the Bank of North Dakota act. The bill came in on a divided report of the committee on banks and banking, with the minority com- posed of Roberts, Erickson, Jodock and Thatcher for it. Members of the banking committee which did not sign this minority report were Mi Craig, Vogel, Plath, Rasmus: Dougherty, Root, Carr. Rep. Roberts of Dunn county made a lengthy speech in favor of public banking, addressing himself particu- larly to that portion of the bill per- mitting establishment of branch banks of the Bank of North Dakota in counties on petition of 50 percent or more of the people of a county. Rep. Twichell, objecting, said that Roberts’ proposal meant that losses by bankit(z in the public banks would have to be made up by taxation. Rep. Miller of McIntosh objected to the compulsory deposit feature, declaring that private banks are paying school districts and other subdivisions more interest on their deposits than the Bank of North Da- kota paid. Rep. Vogel of McLean county said he was sent down to the legislature on a platform supporting such a bill (Continued on page three) ——___- —_______-e Weather Report o—________—__ For 24 hours ending at noo!

With the exception of the depart ment of public instruction, — items there were no important made in the bill on the floor of the senate today, although the and roll call votes on the various department budgets took «p the greater part of the afternoon ces- sion. As passed by the senate today the appropriations for the department of public instruction carried by the vill are $73,200 less than the origina recommendations of the state board for the biennial period. these cuts $31,200 were lopped o on the floor of the senate. Inspection Is Reduced ot. the motion of Senator Fred Path man of Grant county on whose mo- tion all items in the school inspec- tion department were cut off. These included the salary of the state high school inspector, $5,000; assistant examiner, $3,000; three rural and graded school inspectors, $13,200; travel expenses, $6,000; and $2,400 for clerk hire. The vote for killing these items ,Ws 24 to 20, no roll call being held ‘on this phase of the subject. Several fruitless efforts were also made to get reinstated in the bill | cuts which had been made in other items of the public. instruction, de- partment’s budget by the senate committee on appropriations. At the opening of the debate on the public instruction budget Senator McCoy of Richland county, moved that all items for inspection, and state aid be stricken out. “We're down here to cut taxes,” declared the ichland county senator, and it is time we began. By cutting out these items we can save over $600,000 to the taxpayers of the state, and it won't really hurt the schools either.” His motion was voted down, 33 to 33 on a roll call vote in which party lines were entirely laid aside. Institute Bill Senators Benson of Rolette, and Liemilton of McHenry county urged that an item of $10,600 for holding teachers’ institutes which had been lepped off the bill by the committee on appropriations should be restored This motion hoWever, was call as were several other similar motions in- terded as a compromise. Senator Pathman then made his motion to cut out the inspection de- partment items, and the debate im- mediately broke out fiercely. Senator Frank Ployhar of Barnes county supporting Senator Pathman’'s motion declared that the back of the senate chamber was at that very mo- ment infested by employees of the department of public instruction who ought to be at work, but who were instead there to lobby for the depart- mental appropriation. He also in- quired if Senator Hamilton’s inter- ; est in the bill was due to the fact that he was also interested in the office of state land commissioner which would shortly fall vacant. “Well, we are the servants of these employees the same as all the other people of the state, and I for one am glad to have them come in and see the animals perform,” declared Sen- ator Dell Patterson of Renville. Following’ the acceptance of Sen- ator Pathman’s amendment the sen- ate voted by roll call on the accept- ance of these sections of the bill as amended in committee and on the floor with the total cut of $73,200.

RELATIVES AT SHAFT HOPETO RESCUE SOME Officials, However, Declare That All of Trapped Miners Are Dead LOSS PLACED AT 5 Men Caught in Mine During an Explosion, Have Little Chance , Feb, 21.—(By the A. P.)—Under lowering skies that occasionally east down showers a throng of relatives, and friends stood about the shaft of the City Coal Company’s mine today awaiting word of thé efforts ,of rescue crews to bring forth the bodies of thirty-four miners still held beneath the debris of an explosion that wrecked a part of the interior of the mine yesterday. Sixteen bodies were recovered yes- terday and one today. The fatalities will total 51 mine officials said. Despite the insistence of state mine inspectors, Elbridge Dally and other officials that there is no hope for those still underground, relatives clung to their belief that possibly a few men may have barricaded them- selves from the dread after damp and would be brought out alive. About 70 men at work in the mine, but in rooms remote from the explosion, came to the surface unhurt. The casualties were all in two small chambers leading into the coal vein off the main entry of the mine. Miners who escaped and rescue teams rushed here from various parts of the Indiana coal fields toiled to- night clearing away the debris and recovering the bodies. Mine officials said it was impossible that any of the trapped men would be brought out alive. Sullivan, Ind., None Found Alive Clarence Ford, a rescue worker, said he had been able to explore a good part of the wrecked portion of tthe mine and had seen many bodies. He. had discovered none alive, he said. Wives, and children of miners ém- ployed in the shaft crowded about, seeking information and groups of wailing, sobbing women and children clustered about as the news was broken that 61 of the men were known to be dead. A signal to the hoisting engineer was received within three minutes after the explosion but one of the cages was caught on the bottom of the wreckage and miners were forced to climb into the shaft to the bottom and cut away the wreckage before the hoisting engine could be used. But one cage was being used and as ‘a result the work of bringing the bodies to the surface progresses slowly, A row of waiting ambulances removed the dead to the city. Women Aid Rescuers Sheer courage and heroism marked the work of rescuers who braved the deadly fumes of gas and descended from time to time into the mine to bring out the dead. Many were over- come and several were carried from the mine. Organizations of women of Sulli- van were early on the scene and had established a food station for the re- lief of rescue workers and others. The Red Cross erected a tent early in the afternoon. Jumes Russell of Sullivan and John Stevely of Clinton, deputy state mine inspectors, were at the scene soon after the explosion and went into the mine immediately. Most authentic reports of the dis- aster were that the explosion oc- curred when the miners either cut into. gbandoned workings, or a slight cavein opened old entries in which gas had collected, the miners’ lamps setting off the” pocket of gas. The explosion occurred in entries off the main east entry on both sides of which were abandoned entries. Presidertt Overcome Death in all instances was caused by burns or suffocation, according to reports. John M. Lowery, of Sullivan, presi- dent of the City Coal company, and superintendent of the mine, was on the bottom at the time of the dis- aster and was overcome by gas, be- ing carried from the mine. DIFFICULTIES INCREASE Sullivan, Ind., Feb. 21.—Increasing difficulties which confronted rescue workers searching in the City Coal Co.’s mine for 33 men missing since an explosion yesterday made it pos- sible that their bodies would have to be abandoned to the fate of that of Floyd Collins whose remains were sealed in Sand. Cave where he was trapped. Intensive efforts carried on today resulted in the recovery of only two ‘bodies, bringing to 18 the number that have been taken from the wreck- ed_ portion’ of the mine. Elbert Dally, State Mine Inspector, in charge of rescue work, would not admit that hope had been abandoned for bringing. all of the bodies out, ‘but men returning to the surface told of a “top squeese” in one of the are
