The two rulings of the controller meneral which this oorrective legis- Jation is intended to overrule and settle these and similar objections d obstructive tactics for (1) That the controller general has the mght to review (he findings of the United States employes’ compen- sation commission. (2) That persons contracting so- called occupational diseases not due 1o acoident or to the happening of a particular event cannot be brought Within the terms of the United States employes' compensation act of Sep- tember 7, 1916, Chairman Graham says in his re- port that: “An_exzmination of the debates and the report which was made on the act passed in: the Sixty-fourth Congress, as well as the opinion of the Attorney General of May 16, 1923, establishes that on both of the points referred to the Congress and Attor- ney General held views differing ab- solutely from those held by the con- troller’ general.

Nowhere in this act is there any provision for a review of - the commission's decisions either by the courts or other federal authority. “This absolute grant of power to the commission arose out of the very necessities of the case. The agitation for this legislation grew out of the general dissatisfaction with the act of May 30, 1908, The first substitute bill considered s provide for ‘ocoupational At the hearing on (his bill it was developed that the inclusion of this term in the legisiation would be un- satisfactory and inadvisable; that the better method would be to leave the decision as to the inclysion or ex- clusion of a particular disease to a competent commission.” In summarizing the conclusions of the judiciary committee, Chairman Graham mays: “The controller general in his de- olsion relies upon sections 15, 16 and 17 of the act, which provide that the injured employe shail give’ notice of the hour thal his injury occurred, atc, as prof that ‘cccupational dis- case’ was not intended to be cov- ered. This contentiony however, i overgome by the fact that the bill reported to the House in 1914 ex- pressly mentioning ‘occupational dis- case’ carried exactly the same pro- vistons as are included in the pres- ent law, with referenca to notice. “This’is also true of the bills con- midered by the committee in the Sixty-fourth Congress, both of which carried provisions for relfef in case of ‘occupational diseases' and also carried the provisiops requiring no- tioe, ete. “The opinion of the Attorney Gen- eral and the communications received from the controller general express- ing bis views on this bill are printed in full in the printed hearings on this legisiation ail 45 BODIES REMAIN IN.CASTLE GATE MINE Numerous Fires Halt Work of Res- | cue Party After 130 Are Recovered., By the Aesociated Press, CASTLE GATE, Utah, March 13.— Numerous fires in mine No. 2 of the | Utah Fuel Company temporarily halt- ed searching parties after the 130 bodies of miners killed Saturday by a series of explosions had been re- covered. and early today forty-three ! men_still remained unaccounted for. | Mo exploration of the south end of | the mine has been possible and the searchers expect to find the bodies of | tha missing men huddled there. i Seven bodies were buried yesterday. i s ASKS POLICEMEN HELP | = 1 JUNIOR SAFETY GROUP 1 In & message to members of the police department today Maj.

Covers Inquiry Grouad. Prepared by former Senator Pomerene and Owen. J. Roberts, special counsel for the government, the bill goes over much of the ground covered in the Sen- ate investigation. 1t recites that former President Hand- ing was without authority to transfer the lunds, but did so on “false repre- | seotations from Fall” who desired to deal with the lands “not in the interest of the United States but to the advan- tage, profit and benmefit of the Mam- moth Oil Company, and in particular Harry F. Sinclair.” Fail, the bill charges, knew at the time ‘ha: the whole transaction was | iNegal. Evidence of the alleged conspiracy, the government's bill 'charges found in the fact that the agre ments were made in secret by private negotiation “without advertisement of competitive bidding,” and that prospective bidders were discouraged from bidding and denied the oppor- tunity by Fall. The Texas Company, | the Pioneer Oil Company, Edward L. | Doheny and Leo A. Stack, the bill! says, were among those o exeluded. | At the same time the government charges, “Fail steadfastly refused” to take the opinion of law officers of government -on the legality of the proposal. Fall, furthermore, ‘the government charges, “secretly communicated” to Sinclair that he would not make any leases until Sinclair produced quit { claim deeds to any claims within the lands, “knowing well that said claims were worthless. Then, the bill charges, Fall by arranged .for Sinclair to acquire such quit claims from the ioncer Oil Company “with intent to stifle competition.” At the same time, it IS recited, Fall with John C. Shaffer, the paper publisher, to see that Sin- ir set apart certain of the leased lands for “the bemefit of the said Shalfer.” “By the acts hereinbefore set forth, | n [and otber matters,” the government's bill concludes, “Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sinclalr did fraudulerntly and covinously combine, confederate and conspire * *°* 'to defraud the United States of America,” and the resuit of their alleged acts was tol get the Tempot lands leased to.the Mammoth Ofl Company “at an inade- quate, improper and fraudulent con- sideration.” Attorneys Meet With Judge. After the filing of the suit the gov- ernment counsel and attorneys for Sinclair_werit into’ consultation with Judge Kennedy, and at 10:35 o'clock court had not been convened for the preliminary hearing.

Gen. Lefeune said there is no competition between the varous government services: they are all part of one force and should co-operate to give the great- est possible service to the country. The military training of youth is oné of the most momentous tasks of the uation, Maj. Gen. Charles S. Farnsworth. chicf of infantry, sald. Military education is the most logical thing for the development of physique and character, he declared, and the tendency toward this training is shown by the fact that in 1914 there were ninety-five colleges in the coun- try ~offering military _instruction, while today there are nearly eight hundred institutions. Maj. Gen. Hanson E. Ely, presi- dent of the War Coilege, lauded the | military training schools as a dis- | tinct asset, and said the graduates of such schools are best fitted for reserve officars, Gen. Georges Dumont, military at- tache of the French émbassy, out- lined the system of public and mili- tary schools in France. J. F. A.

Colleges and preparatory schouls should both realize that they are cogs in the great machine of education, William Mather Lewis, president of ieorge Washington University, told the dzlegates yesterday efternoon.

It costs the horpital $3.91 a day. The institu- tions thus lose thousands of dollars a_year on charily cases alone that are paid for besides other cases which deal with visitors from out of town and_those not approved by the Board of Charities, it was explained. It is estiniated that besides serving the northeast section of the eity, the maintenance of Casualty Hospital will cut the time of enswering emer- geney calls all over the city by 25 per cent. This, in turn, the officials declare, ‘should’ result -in_the possi- bility of saving that percentage of lives that now die in emergency and accident cases. It was pointed out that Without Casualty Hospital many parts of the city, such as Chevy Chase and outlying sections, could not be served at all, or at least would have to wait an indefinite time for an ambulance. " The doctors fcel that they should be supported by the public for the reason that they are engaged in mal- vaging human lives This work, they assert, is impossible without proper equipment and adequate space.

This baby boy's emile. bravely, Bernard ¥. the three - year - old | youngster’ who toddied in the path of an automobile on March 3, and was brought to Emergency Hospital ¥ith ‘a compound fracture of the skull, bringing optimism to friends, reia- tives and attendants, who had been powoerless 1o aid the child. A note of hopefulness entered the case this morning when from his little bed he looked caimly at his nurse and murmured slightly. Hiks oyes were brighter than they have been for days. His lips, finely chiseled, ;u{red into a smie. That meant a ot. For ten days he has lain uncen- soious. An X-ray report showed hie skull shattered in a number of places. His collar bome also was fractured. Today the boy smiled. His aunt expressed the belief of his parents when she said: “Some- how we il think that God is the freatest physician. He'll look out for iim.” The boy's father is Bernard ¥. Gar- vey, young but well known patent attorney. While his boy lies In the hospital he hLas buried himself in The Loy's mother, Mrs. Agn has t ather’ little ones ¥ ‘they may tell her the truth about him. since he has a good chance to get well Operation Unnecessary. Physicians found no need to operate because the evidence was that none of the skull fractures had caused a pressure of the brain. Dr. Kilroy, family physician, and Dr. D. L. Bor- den, surgeon, after consulting on the case decided to give nature a wide SWay in treating the youngster, and to supplement nature themselves in every way possibie. During the ten days_he has lain there, a novena at St. Aloysius Church and other Catholic churches has been in progress. Prayers by the score have ascended for this littie fellow, whose parents are from tha sturdy ' Irish_stock that believe some. how that God is greater than sur | geons. Yesterday the novena ended. | " The voungster lies on his right side lin the children’s ward at Emergency {Howpital, with bright brownish-gold- ish curls on the white pillowcase.

Dr. Fowler today revealed that sey- eral weeks ago Judge McMahon of the Pelice Court motified the proso- cutors in that court not to issue any | more warrants for such cases. | The District officials indicated that ! they agree with this coursc of action, explaining that the regulation un- der which warrants. were being sought is intended to cover sitnations that are actually insanitary. such as defective plumbing or leaky’ roofs, d not unsightly structures. A Commissioner Oyster belicves that this development demonstrates clearly that the health department is not clothed with the authority needed to remedy conditions that render alleys unkempt, but which are not insani- tary within the meaning of the law. Commissioner Oyster asserted that the - Commissioners are capable of meeting any situation if they have sufficient law and adequate funds. In this connection Health Officar Fowler stated that the appropriation for the abatement of nuisances is only $2,000, of which all but & few hundred dollars bas been spent this ear.
