Ho declared ho would make public not only the wases paid to the minors, but the. hours they worked and tho labor conditions, but the enormous profits of tho mlnp owners. Ot the situation at Calumet, the secrc tary said it had heretofore been tho cus tom to Investigate wages, hours and con ditions ot labor and report those to the . public. This time, he said. It had been determined to go a step farther and In vestigate the tarnlngs of the corporation Involved.

PORT HURON, Mich., Nov ll.-After working desperately since this morning In nu unsuccessful attempt positively to Identify the derelict freighter, which lies bottom-side up In stormy Lake Huron, eight miles northwest of here, many ma rine men returned to Port Huron tonight convinced that tho boat was the Canadian Pacific freighter Ilcglna. Captain George Plough of the Lalfo View life saving station, Captain Thomp son of the wrecking tug Sport, and Cap tain Carmine of the revenue cutter Mor rell all wcro convinced that the wrecked boat was the Ilcglna. The Reglua's beam Is forty-three feet. Captain Plough measured the overturned boat and said its beam was slightly more than forty-two feet. The wreckage from the Reglna washed ashore yesterday, In cluding a life boat, which contained two bodies of Bailors, positively Identified as members of the crew of the Reglna, In dicated that the Canadian Pacific freighter was wrecked in the vicinity where tho overturned vessel was found.

It was learned that ono of the sailors, whoso clothes contained a letter addressed, "Caro Steamer Charles F. Price," formerly worked on the Price, but later Joined tho Reglna crow. When the relief fleet steamed out to the floating wreck this morning a diver was taken along. The. gale wbb blowing across Lake Huron and waves were dash ing ten feet over the derelict, but the diver urged the captain to allow him to climb down the side ot the vessel's bow ; to ascertain Its name, j The men In charge considered the plan j foolhardy and refused to allow the diver to leave tho tug. They promised to give him a chance tomorrow provided the lake was smooth. A report this afternoon from Port Frank, Ont., was that eight more frozen bodies were washed ashore In a lifeboat there today. Wires arc down and tho Identity of the men could not be learned.

K.-The attempt to force the administration currency bill through the senate by way of tho demo cratic caucus was abandoned today and the banking and currency committee of the senate was Riven time for further consideration of the bill, A practical agreement by nix democratic senators, half of the committee, and hope for a final report within five or six days, was reported to tho democratic conference when It met today by Senator Owen, and at his request the conference took no action. Since the call for the conference was Issued Senators Heed and O'Clorman had olncd Chairman Owen and Senators Pom erene, Shafroth and Ilollls In support ot the administration measure, despite their votes against some of Its provisions In the committee. These six democrats havo virtually agreed on a bill which meets the views of Presldept Wilson. This measure will be taken before the senate as soon as possible. Hitchcock Hlnnds Firm. A further attempt to swing Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska In line with his democratic colleagues was made In a meeting of democrats of tho committee after the conference, but Senator Hitch cock Insisted he could not reconcile his views with the demands of the president. Tho full committee, democrats and re publicans, will meet tomorrow and an other attempt will bemade to secure an agreement among a majority. If this falls, It Is probable that the democrats and republicans will make a unanimous report on those details of the bill which all approve, and then sub mit supplementary reports showing tho senate their disagreement on tho fun dam lentale jgl. jljoblllTerepubllcans and Senator Hitchcock have' announced last for the public ownership' "of - the regional banks In the new ssytetn and, for government control of those banks.

Chairman Owen was asked by several senators whether lie was convinced that currency legislation could not be put through the senate at this session of con gress and whether nn adjournment of congress might not well bo taken. He made no definite reply, but several sena tors took the position that so far as cur rency legislation before December 1 was concerned, congress might Just as well adjourn. There has been considerable pressure for an adjournment. If only for ten days 1 cr two weeks, on both sides of the capltol, but It Is understood that In view of the Mexican situation, congress will be kept In Washington regardless of currency legislation.

In his message to Senator Kern thai Nevada statesman asked that the con fjrence bo postponed for a day or two, "until democratic senators have oppor tunity to be present." Senator Newlands said he was anxloua to present what he called his "federal reserve system," an outline of which he recently telegraphed to Senator Owen. This system calls for a federation of stato and national banks In each state as a reserve association, consolidating as a reserve association, consolidating and I mobilizing the reserve nf ma.nh.r. mutual protection against bank runs and stringencies. In addition there will be one federal reserve bank of which, the state In which government funds and a por tion of the reserves of tho state .n. jclatlons would be deposited.

K.-Conferencee now being hold between William Bayard Hale and General Vestulano Corrunza at Nogalea are Interpreted In official circles here as the first open move by the United States to show Its Interest In the con stitutionalist movement In Mexico. No officials commented today on Mr Hale's exact status, but on a prevlouj occasion when he spent three months 111 Mexico City gathering Information, Presi dent Wilson lot It be known that Mr, Hate was tlro as his personal friend Hal transmitted reports, however, and took port In conferences with Jphn Llnd and Rear Admiral Fletcher. Little doubt now exists In dtplomotlo circles that -wjtillt llr. Hale, still retains, ihe character ot unofficial envoy, he - la turoieMng tht for official purpose).'" la Gntherlnsr Information. It was pointed out by some observers that Mr. Hale's conferences were not necessarily a forerunner ot recognition, but might be an Important factor In de termining the future attitude ot the Washington government toward the con stitutionalists. Mr. Hale probably will report on the personal characteristics of General Car rnnza. whether he has the united support ot all constitutionalists or revolutionists and whether If successful by arms ho would establish a provisional government that would guarantee a folr and frea election. There Is also a possibility that the In formation he gathers may be useful to the State department In Its exchanges with foreign diplomats here. The diplo matic corps In Mexico City Is said to be at a disadvantage In making reports 611 the constitutionalists as Its only source of Information there Is the Huerta gov ernment. There were no announcements here to day as to future steps In the American policy. News ot the arrival at Nogalea ot Mr. Hale gave rise to the suggestion that the Washington government was waiting for more information about this constitutionalists before proceeding.

Misfit Purchases Careless buying frequently results in extravagance and dis appointment. This comes from putting off your shopping un til the last minute. It comes also from not knowing defi nitely what you want or what you need or where to get It. Shoppers themselves are largely responsible for the 111 humor of salespeople. You bare doubtless seen men and women shopping who had no idea of what tbey ought to buy. After taking up one or mora salesperson's time fussing and fretting and Jumping from ono thing to another, they hvy something that doesn't suit or fit or please. All of this might be avoided by preparing one's self before hand. A few minutes careful reading of the advertisements appearing in The Bee will in form one's mind and turn a disagreeable shopping tour Into a pleasant afternoon. The happiest shoppers are those who read the advertise ments la The Bee and la other lire newspapers. They save time, money and patience.
