e —— SLIGHT MAJORITIES DISTURBING G. 0.P. Progressives Expected to Force Demands in Organiz- ing House and Senate. Whether the republicans will be able to organize the House and Senate immediately upon the convening of the Sixty-eighth Congress is a sub- Ject of concern to some of their lead- ers. The balance between the two domi- nant parties in both houses is so deli- cate that a small group of republican progressives can block the election of both the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. This sit- uation gives the progressives a van- tage point, from which they are ex- Pected to crowd their demands as to the character of organization and legislation. A majority of the membership. is Tecessary for the organization of each house. The republicans will have not 1o exceed fifty-one members in the Senate—one seat normally republican is now vacant—and forty-nine mem- bers constitute a majority. Thus three progressives could prevent an election unless the republican slate could draw support from the democ a po: sibility which is not now receiving serious consideration. Slight House Majority. In the House the republicans will have a majority not to exceed eight- nd so it will be possible for the tion from a single republican . such as Wisconsin, to hold up the organization program. The pro- sressives of the House, organized and ant, are preparing to take ad- vantage of this situation and it is the bellef now that they will under- take to force concessions from the majority leadership, particularly with Teference to committee assignments, as considerations for their support ©of the party ticket. If the Senate progressives have any plans with respect to an organization fisht they have not made them known. Some of the republican lead- ers say they anticipate no difficulty in putting through the party slate, but others are less optimistic. The west- ern republicans are deeply interested in raflroad legislation and it would not be surprising to some senators if they sought to bring about changes in the personnel of the intersta commerce committee as a condition to the support of tor Cummins of Jowa, present chairman of that com- Titte! president of the Senate. Three Powerful Committees. Gossip at the Capitol Is that the House progressives are particularly interested in the organization of the zules, ways and mea nd_interstate commerce committees, the three powerful of the House. The w means committee deals with tax lej islation, and the interstate commerce committee with railroad legislation, and these are two subjects close to the hearts of the leaders of the pro- gressive group. Under the procedure of the House the rules committee is, after all, the all powerful, as it determines the matter of what legislation is to be yresented to the House, the order of its precedence and the manner in which it shall be considered, the time for debate and whether opportunity shall be given for genmeral amend- ments. CLAIM PLOT TO BAR ALL NON-UNION COAL Testimony Offered in Arkansas Suit Against United Mine ‘Workers. S By the Associated Press, FORT SMITH, Ark, October 23.— Continuing the presentation of their case against the United Mine Work- ers of America, plaintiffs in the $2,- 222,000 damage suit against the min- ers' union offered additional testi- mony in support of their contention that the union was a party to a nation-wide conspiracy in 1914 to prevent the interstate shipment of non-union mined coal and was re- sponsible for the Hartford valley mine battle, in which several per- sons were killed and property 1 ued at nearly a million dollars destroyed: James McNamara, the prin witness offered by the plaintiffs, clared that the word to prevent the marketing of coal produced by open shops mines in Hartford ley was passed_down the line by union off cials. He told of conversations Wwith John P. White, former president of ihe international union, in which he £aid the union chief instructed him to pass the word on to the men in the valley.

Sitting in Ada Blackjack's dismal little tent that August morning of my | landing on Wrangel Island, a thousand questions crowded into my mind. 1 wanted to know in detail all of the, steps that had led to the tragic end of Allan Crawford and his expedition. I wanted to re-live those months of isolation. I wanted to know how Lorne Knight had died, and how this woman of the north, under five feet tall and | weighing less than a hundred pounds, had triumphed where four big men had failed. Ada assured me that the hunting had been good. She told me what I had already suspected—that there had been lots of game but the boys had been unable to get it. But I wanted some specific verification, and asked if those who had gone had left their diaries behind. She told me that Knight's diary was in his tent, and that the others had left some papers in the trunks outside. I could put off no longer the moment 1 had been dreading. 1 lifted the flap of the tent and went outside. Ade fol- lowed, and we made our way through the litter of discarded belongings. I have never seen a more disheartening sight. Rusty trunks, tin boxes, boots, mittens, socks, knives and files were scattered in disorder over the grounds, mixed with torn pieces of deerskin, now soggy and smelling of mold from long exposure to the rain. . Ada’s Eyes Fill. Half way through the clutter, Ada stopped. Her lips drooped and her eves filled with tears. I could see that she did not want to.go agaifi into Knight's tent, and told her to go back and wait for ‘me. At the door I had to stop to remove a barricade of boxes which Ada had put there to keep out marauding animals. On the threshold 1 paused. At the right of the door, on a narrow canvas cot, lay Knight's body, his head pro- truding from the deerskin sleeping-bag, just as it had been when Ada closed his d eyes two months before. it was still im- covered skull and inert skeleton could have once belonged to that happy, care- less young giant who was the comrade Here, as _outside, all was confusion, disorder. The dirt floor was_littered with books and magazines. Tattered volumes from the Harvard classics and crumpled periodicals -of angient date > jumbled together with unwashed hes and sofled clothing. It was a place which must have been the abode pair long before death came. ss the room was a second canvas . in which Ada had slept during all those months when Knight lay, slowl dying in his bag. There a_rusty stove in one corner. The stovepipe had toppled down, tearing a long rent in the can Beside Knight's cot I found his diary, and sat down on an empty cartridge box to read it, my back to the cot, for I wanted to shut out the worst of that gruesome scene. Made Three Mistakes. For an hour I sat there, turning the one by one. Each entry left me less and less in doubt as o the,cause of the tragedy. ,Knight's diary con- firmed beyond question Ada's statement that there had been plenty of game The trouble had been with the bo s. They had made three fun- 1 mistakes. No man who has the Interests of science at heart can afford to obscure he truth, even when it seems to bor- der on criticism of the dead, especi- ally when those dead have given their for an ideal, 1 spoke less than truth, I would not worthily rep- resent them. They were victims of the spirit of | adventure. But for their youth and in- experience, all of them might be alive today. When human lives are to be pitted against the untamed elements, the first essential is competent leade: ship. No one of the four who made up the expedition had the slightest lization of the enormity of the They made three basic mis- ces, any one of which would have mized their chance of succ All three of them made tragedy in- evitable. First, they left cient food Nome with insuffi- supplies. Second, they failed to take with them Eskimo hunters. Third, they went without walrus hunting equipment. If there had been one competent hunter among them all of these drawbacks might have been overcome. There was not. _ 1 left Knight's tent with my mind made up. I kmew that I must pro- ceed to carry out Stefansson’s orders and land the colony. Feared Exkimo Superstition. From my long vears of living with Eskimos 1 learned to respect their superstition. 1 knew that to bring them into the camp before Knight's burial was to court failure | from the start. I knew, also, that any men who were to be asked o live in this place should see it first under more_ pleasant auspices than those I found I went back to the ship for help. The: Eskimos were on the point of mutiny. The bright spirits evoked by the early sunrise had been ampened by the long day of fog. I told them they would feel better when the sun came back, and hurried off with Wells, Olsen, Willlams and Earle to bury Knight and clean up the camp site. We took carpentering tools and boards. Olsen and Earle stayed at the camp to build a coffin, which they lined with white canvas. William made a white wooden cross. The rest of us walked to the highest point on the island and there we dug a grav Hans Olsen was an old seal hunter —a grizzled sailor. He had seen many men die in the arctic and buried | many. Yet even Hans was moved when Williams and I lifted Knight' emaciated body, scarcely the welght of a child, and Dlaced it In the white, lined coffin. Then, slowly, we carried it up the hill to the open’ grave, Ada following behind. There was little of ceremony. Knight was an agnostic and I felt that all I could do was to pay my respects to the comrade I had known. | We pushed our hoods back from our | heads and stood silent, each man deep_in_hi i CETEIgE hais Ty .

Julius Lansbyrgh President and T\m:iur bringing to the moment the philoso- phy the north had taught him. In a few minutes it was all over. T looked at my watch. It was 6 o'clock. We still had four good hours of day- light in’ which to clean the camp. Ada went to her tent and packed her things while we worked. I went through the rusty trunks which had been left in the open, ex- posed to all weathers. The search was unrewarding. Evidently the boys were confident of making Siberia and getting to- civilization, for they had taken their diaries, récords and maps with them, with the exception of a few uninforming notes by Galle and some. letters of earlier date. WIith the exception of Galle, each of them had left a letter addressed to his parents; Maurer had left letters to his wife “anq mother. Knight and Crawford had written to Mr. Stefans- son. My fears of insufficient ammunition and clothing were ungrounded. I found three and a half cases of cartridges untouched, making 3,500 rounds of thirty-forty ammunition, with a case and a half of shotgun ammunition. Besldes an abundance of woolen cloth, there were seventeen unused deerskins. I carefully collected the few keep- sakes which the boys’' parents would value—Knight's ring and watch and a few other trinkets. Maurer had been married only a few days before he joined the expedition and his sea chest contained several packages of letters from his wife. We decided t! for the new colony we must choose a new site and make a fresh start. We pulled down the tents and carried them to the beach, together with the ammunition and everything else which could be of any future use. Had Letter for Help. When all was finished I went back to Ada's tent. She had packed her belongings into a dilapidated old suit- case and now sat on a box stroking the gray cat. On the floor beside her lay haif a dozen small tubes that had once contained developing pow- der. I picked one up and found in it a note written on a typewriter. It was headed Wrangel Island and read: “Hello somebody! This important notice is to say that Knight is daid and I with my kitten is all alope please send somebody to get me. (Signed) “MRS. ADA BLACKJA Poking around in the debris of the camp, searching for bits of things that might be of use in the fight for life she was preparing to make, the Eskimo girl had come upon the empty tubes. She had seen the boys write their proclamation of owner- ship and put it in a bottle and de. vised the plan of sealing the gla tubes with tallow and using them as age carriers. looked at her. How Llttle she seemed! What piluck she had! I, since ceased to believe worship, found myself un- consciously a little thrilled by the quality of her spirit. Alone there on the island, down almost to her last morsel of food, Ada Blackjack was making ready to toss her pathetic appeal for help into the sea and entreat the waves to carry it safely to an inhabited shore.

The question of whether, or not Brig. Gen. Smedley D.

Gen. Butler said today that his feoling toward the Marine Corps was such that he felt he could not resign his commission, despite the highly flattering offer that has come to him. Ho emphasized, however. that the question of salary or bhonus would not ipfluence him In the least. Has Refused Offer, “I saw a number of prominent business men in Detroit last week,” sald Gen. Butler. “They made me an offer that would have tempted any man. There was plenty of money, a darned sight more than I, or any other man, am worth, and stories to the effect that I had de- manded more money are absolutely untrue. I told the financiers that my feeling toward the Marine Corps was such that I could not leave it, and turned down the offer. “The men with whom I talked— I am not vet at liberty to divulge their identity—refused to accept my declination at that time and said they would take the matter up with me later. They are coming to Quantico tomorrow. I shall meet them in Washington, drive them to the base nd have supper with them. As far as I know their visit is to be purely a social affair.

It is known in Ma- rine Corps circles that Representative Butler has interposed strenuous ob- jections to his son resigning his com- mission at the very pinnacle of his career in the service.

C. TRUCK HELD UP WITH GUNS Stopped on Maryland Road by Al- leged Revenue Officers—Pro- test Planned. Five colored men in a truck with a load of building material were stopped on the road between Sandy Spring and Clarksville, Md., yester- day by a party of four whito men and one colored man in an automobile, who flashed pistols and badges and declared they were revenue agents, who threatened to “blow your brains out” if they made a fight. James Skinker, 1026 Lamont street, driver of the truck, said he heard men in the tour{ng car tooting for him to give the road. He was un- able to do so because the truck was on a grade, and when the men sig- naled to him to stop he refused to do so, bocause there was nothing about their cir to suggest they were officers. Finally the supposed revenue car blocked the road and compelled Skinker to stop the truck. When the truck was stopped, it i8_stated, one of the reputed revenue officers jump- ed on the running board and wanted to know wHy the driver had refused |to stop on the signal of an officer and Skinker said he didn’t know the men_were law_officers. “If you are not in Rockville Thursday,” Skinker was told, “we're coming after you."
