WASMIMJTDS, April T.-Scnator Martin
of Virginia, at the democratic senate tau
cut, wbm today selected as permanent cau
cua chairman and minority leader during
the pi client congress, lie received 21 out
of the 3T votes cast, IS (coins; to Senator
Benjamin F. Shlvely of Indiana, who was
then elected vie chairman.
Senator V. V. Chilton of Went Virginia j
vat elected secretary of the caucus, the j
two last named place having been filled i
by acclamation. Senator Owen declined a
le-electlnn as secretary.
The expected long contest did not de
.op. I'rlor to the session the progressive
c.er.incrat, as the followers of William
Jennings Bryan prefer to be designated,
met In tha office of Senator Owen to can
vass the situation. Several found them
selves In an embarrassing position because
of pledges made many weeks ago that they
would support Mr. Martin.
It waa decided that the progressives
should vole for Senator ' Xewlaads of
Nevada, as Senators Culberson of Texas
and Stone of MlHaourl.both declined to be
come candidates. The plan waa changed
In the caucus, however, .when It was
learned that Mr. Shlvely, who was the
vice chairman under the leadership of Sen
ator Money during the last congress, would
not object to receiving the complimentary
vote of thosa who would nut vote for Mr.
Martin.
Martin First Progressive Man. (
Several of the progressives conoeded that
Senator Martin could not be defeated.
Failure to upset his candidacy was due
partly to his having been originally
hrnugl t out aa the candidate of the Bry an
following, led by Senator Stone, to pre
vent the election of either Senators Bailey
or Bacon. Both of these senators, gen
erally known as the regulars, were op
posed hy the proKie.islves.
It scorned for a time that Mr. Martin
would bo elected unanimously, but Mr.
Bryan wanted an out and out progressive
named and frankly told aome of the new
democratic senators that they were throw
ing away their opportunities.
Mr. Martin was nominated by Senstov
Clarke of Arkansas' and Senator Bhively
by Senator Kern of Indiana, tha running i
mate of Mr. Bryan In the lust campaign.
Senator Stone Seconded the Shlvely
nomination. The thirty-seven votes cast
acount for the democratic strength ex
cept four. Senators Tillman of South
Carolina. Terrell of Georgia and Shlvely
were absent because of Illness, and Sen
ator Martin did not vote.
The roll call follows:
For Martin Bacon, Bailey, Bankhead,
lran of Florida, Chilton, Clarke, Cul
hertson, Fletcher, Foster, Johnston, Over
man, I'aynter. Ferry, Rayner, Simmons,
Smith of Maryland. Swanson, Taylor,
Thornton, Watson and Williams.
For Bhi vely Chamberlain, Davis, Gore.
Hitchcock, Juhnson of Maine, Kern, Iea,
Marline, Myers, Newlands, COorman,
Owen. Fomcrene. Heed, Smith of South
Carolina and Stone.
llryaiilam In Bac-kacroand.
Tlin fact that the battle had been fought
in advance of the caucus enabled the demo
crats to keep in the background all of tha
Hryan and niill-Hijan sentiment mani
fested during the preliminary scrimmages.
The friend of Senatos Martin decided
that inasmuch as they had the votes to
elect their candidate. It would be folly to
bring that question Into the caucus.
The appointment by Chairman Martin of
a steering committee, which will also serve
as a committee on committees, was au
thorised by the caucus. The committee
will have to report Its prograui for the
filling of vacancies on standing committees
to the caucus Itself.

SCRANTON, Fa.. April ".-Fifty men and

and In all likelihood dead, an the result of
j a fire in the Pancoast mlna In Thronp.
near here.
Rescuers pushed past the fire late this
afternoon and found three bodies. Officials I
and rescuers say there Is no hope of any i
of the men being alive.
The Kovernment rescue crew with oxygen I
helmets and other equipment Is on the j
ground. .There are two openings to the
mine, under the law of the state, but the
fire Is so located that escape has been
entirely cut off. I
The fire started In the engine room and
communicated with a number of dust
covered and oil-soaked m!ii? cars, which
burned fiercely. Added to this was the
fear that a serious explosion might occur
if the flames should reach a pocket of gas.
The rescuers are making slow progress and
relief crews are constantly being sent Into
the mine.
There were 300 men In the mine when the
fire started and all escaped except one
party which was In a blind gangway be
yond the engine house. Two men who wiere
at work In the engine house and who gjt
out reported the Imprisonment of a party
of their fellow workmen.

One of the men rescued waa James
Vlckers. a fire boss, He reported the por
tion of the mine was a seething furnace.
The roof la falling, the coal Is on fire anil
the timber holding up the roof of the gang,
way Is being eaten away by the flames.
Vlckers was overcome by smoke and was
found by rescuers, who took him to the
mine hospital and revived him with diffi
culty. Vlckers was carried Into the office of
the coal company and physicians attended
him. He gave It as his opinion that all the
men In the mine are dead.
"They perished hours ago." he said. "No
one could live In a place like that. The
working are a furnace and are full of
smoke."
Millinery Jobbers
Win Part of Fight
Comiaisioa Rules that Regulations
of Express Companies for Pack
ing Hats Are Reasonable.
WASHINGTON. April 7-Some of the
regulations of express companies relating
to the transportation of millinery were held
by the Interstate Commerce commission In
a decision handed down today to be un
reasonable and what were deemed by the
commission to be proper regulations were
prescribed. The jp)nton was rendered In
the case of the Millinery Jobbers' associa
tion against the American Express com
pany and others.
In the complaint the association averred
that regulations of the express companies
concerning; packing of millinery goods for
shipment were unreasons hie and discrim
inatory and that they resulted In excessive
regulations for shipment.
The express company maintained that
the flimsy character of the packing of hats
and bonnets resulted frequently in damage
and they were forced, therefore, to provide
rules for proper packing, largely because of
the Immense slxe of women's hats. These
i packing rules were upheld. Other features
I were ruled against.

JUAREZ HUMS WITH RUMORS

Solicitation of the Mi

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
EI, PASO. TexasApril 4. -(Special Cor
respondence.) There was no flag-draped
casket on a gun carriage for Manuel Sa
nora the Mexican hero w"iO';st his life
'Saturday night when he attempted to sx-
tract the fuse from a lighted bomb In a
patio Culdad Juares. Not a single com
rade or officer aocompanlrd his remains
to the Juarez cemetery Sunday afternoon.
And when his body was lowered into the
yellow earth no trumpet sounded "taps"
and no flag fluttered downward. The mili
tary authorities furnished a plain pine
casket that was all and when It waa time
for this to be taken to the cemetery,
loungers were requested to help handle It.
At the cemetej the casket was lifted from
the hearae by the undertaker and a helper
and dropped Into the yawning grave. Only
freshly handled dirt today serves to show
where this man Is interred. There Is no
stone or headpiece of wood to mark It. His
wife and several children In Chihuahua
have not yet heard of the tragedy, but
when they do the widow will dry her eyes,
knowing that her brave husband died for
his country.
The investigation of the bomb throwing
Sunday morning is being prosecuted slowly
and with little reault. Most of the thlrty
teven persons arrested near the scene of
the disaster deny, with frightened faces,
that they even heard the explosions, which
woke all of Juarez, Jarred every atom for
miles around and rang the bells In the
quaint old mission of Cluadalupe.
"If It please the senor, Jefe politico. 1
did not hear anything unusual. Explosion?
What explosion'.'" and thus are all o.ues
on him to surrender the city and warning
hi. ii tat he will be held responsible fpr the
promulgation of the suspension of guran
tes law. A large number of soldiers passed
the night on top of the governor's house,
others Inside and a sentinel stood In front
of the door all nlttht. but no one knew how
the document arrived.
During the night a federal soldier, sta
tioned on top of Kacred Heart church,
roused from sleep and sang out: "There
they come," and stepped, gun In hand. Into
fifty feet of apace. He has been burled,
tlons snswered. Angered by the tone of
the answers none of the suspects have
been releaaed. Among the prisoners Is
