O'Callaghan, lord mayor of Cork, who was apprehended by immigra- tion authorities upon his arrival at New- port News from Ireland as a stowaway, without a passport. . Action of Secretary Wilson today im paroling O'Callaghan upon his own recog- nizance, it was indicated, had been taken without consultation with the state de- partment, as the first knowledge of it was obtained by Acfing Secretary Davis of that department from newspaper reports. Even should O'Callaghan now be deport- ed, it was held ‘at the state department that before that could be brought about there would_be.- —prevent - his coming to Washington accomplishing his announced mission to the United States of testifying before the commission of the commitiee of one hundred investi- gating the Irish conditions. Secretary of LahZh Wilson, it is undeg- stood, has virtually” decided to sustain the appeal of O'Callaghan to the depaftment of labor from the decision of the board of inquiry at Newport News excluding the lord mayor, although the case has not yet been brought formally to his attention and no decision will be ainounced by him until the record has been received from immigration officlals at Newport News. Before taking action on O'Callaghan’s appeal, however, it would be the usual custom of the department of labor in the case of an alien arriving in the United States without a passport to defer a de- cision until it had been ascertained _whel!\er the department of state was will- ing to waive passport restrictions com- monly imposed upon the entrance to the TUnited States of aliens, On account of the. friction which is said to have developed between the de- partments of state and labor over the admissibility of aliens without passports, it was understood today that Secretary Wilson probably would sustain the appeal of O'Callaghan without any reference of the case to the department of state. Acting on the impression that the case already had been referred o the state department,'Secretary Davis today took it under advisement and indicated that the policy of the department probably would be against waiving passport restrictions in O'Callaghan’s favor. Secretary Davis said the lord mayor could scarcely be considered a political refugee when a fel low official of the so-called Irish govern- ment, Eamonn De Valera, was reported to have returned to Ireland, and he stated further that to waive passport restrictions in the case would serve only to nullify the passport law. Later Secretary Davis announced that in considering the case he had been labor- ing under a misapprehension that it had formally been referred to the state de- partment by the department of labor, but as it had not been, the former department would not consider that Y. technically had come under its jurisdictien until the question had been presented to it by Seo- retary Wilson. ’ REPORT OF SINKING OF A NAVAL SEAPLANE AT SEA Washington, Jan. 6.—A naval sea- plant of the F-5-Ltype sank at sea be- tween Coco Solo, Canal Zome, and Car- tagena, Colombla, Tuesday, according to advices today to the navy department.

Irquiry Resumed inta H gh Cost of Goal Bureau of Mines Bought Coal at $4.70 When War De- + partment Paid Over $7. ‘Washington, Jan. €.—The senate com- mittee inquiring into the high cost of coal last year was informed at resumptim of its hearings today that while the bureau of mines was buying coal at $4.70 a ton through an arrangement with the Nation- al Coal association, which required no fees, the war department was buying coal at over $7 a ton through Colonel D. B. Wentz, president f the association, on>a commission basig. The statement concerning the arrange- ment of the bureau of mines was made by Chairman Calder of New York when Col- onel Wentz was testifying as to his ser- vices for the war department during the shortage of last summer and early fall The latter said he had purchased and delivered to the denartment 70.000 tons of coal at slightly above $7 a ton. for which hé had received commissions aggre- gating $31,000. His contract, he added, would have allowed him to purchase 275,000 tons and earn additinal commis- sions of $101,000, but he had refused to do so because of hte failing market. Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey, told the witness that his conduct “had been very fair to the government, much better than your contract required.” Colonel Wentz denied in .eply to a question by Chairman Calder that the coal association directors had “discussed prices at meetings.” “You hold the theory that the coal business is a private concern, with which congress and the publie has no goncern?” Senator Kenyon asked. “But don't you think that the lack cf coal, with high prices, /is a factor in making discontent?" “Yes, but not more so that with food. clothing and other industries of the kin Colonel Wentz said, “for which no policy of regulation is being advanced.” The committee sessions will not be re- sumed for several da STORY OF THE WRECK OF THE STEAMER SANTA I1SABEL Tl Coronna, Spain, Jan. 6.—The first com- prehensive rarrative of the wreck of the Spanish steamer Santa Isabel, in which more than 200 persons perished; was giv- en today to The Associated Press by Pe- dro Fal, a pilot living at Buenos Aires, who' was a_passeager aboard the vessel with his wife. “We were asleep when the accident happened.” said Fal “The shock awoke the passengers who immediately threw clothing arouna themselves and rush- ed to the decks. We found people dash- ing hither and thither and the waves sweeping over the decks. “The captain tried to calm the pas- sengers, but without success. Boats were torn from their davits, and soon the elec- tric lights failed owing to the flooding of the machine room, when the cngineer opened the valves to avoid an explo- sion. g _#"“The darkness and fox Increased ' the PiNic The cantain ordered the lanch- ing of boats. ‘The Island of Salvora was only 300 yards away. At that moment the mainmast broke, kiling many, while others thrgw themselves into the sea. “On the first attempt to launch the boats, the crew made a rush for them and succeeded in getting one away, in which only the first officer, the doctor, the chaplain, the super-carzo and one of the crew: embarked. The moment it touched the water it was smashed on the rocks, and all in it were drowned. “A few minutes later the ngers | launched two bogts, the members of the crew having scattered and giving no heed to the captain's orders. ‘These boats were overtnrned. Then the remaining boat got away after a terrible struggle for a place in it. It carried 40 of the passengers, Lut soon capsized. A num- ber of the occupants, however, suoceeded in_reaching Salvora. “I with my wife, remained, with the captain and thirty others on the main deck, which was still out of water. The cold was intense and the cries of the drowning were heard all 4round. About six o'clock Sunday morning an enormous wave washed eW-ybody overboard, sep- arating me from my wife. whom, how- ever, T found in the water. I am a power- ful swimmer and secured a floating plank which I fixed under my wife's arms. We remained in the water for several hours, when a fishing boat picked us up.” The captain of the steamer Cabo Tri- ana has heen placed under arrest for not going to the ass'stance of the Santa Isabel. He admits that he saw the sig- nals of distress on the stranded vesse! but instead of reporting this on his ar- rival In port, he went to bed and said nothing about {he matter until the next morning. HARDING'S MIND STILL OPEN ON CABINET APPOINTMENTS Marion, O. jan. 6—Conclusive in- formation about the cabine preferencés of President-elect Harding still is lack- ing. and as the days o by without def- inite development, the number of those mentioned for appointment in specula- tion here is increasing rather than nar- rowing. Two weeks ago there were many Indi- cations that the announcement of at least two selections was imminent. Those who had talked with Mr. Harding gen- erally ‘were agreedthat Charles Evans Hughes, of New York was uppermost in his mind for secretar: of state, anl that Charles G. Dawes of Chicago had the in- side track for secretary of the treasury. There was equal unanimity in the pre- diction that these selections and possi- bly that of Henry Wallace of Towa, ror secretary of agriculture would be made known very early in the new year. Since then the cabinet question has beea urder daily consideration by the president-elect, and he has heard the ad- vice of som of the ablest party leaders, But_without apvarent results. The claims of other aspirants have been thrust upon the president-elect by their friends, and the intsrval also given him an opportunity to hear the i evitable residue of protests against some of the appointments he was .popularly reported to be considering.
