Cummins after a quorum, had been

or even properly permit a discussion of the

time as the chairman of the Foreign Ilela
tlons Committee fears I think one or two
days of faithful work will suffice "
STONE AGAINST MOVE
Senator Stone, chairman of tho Foreign
Relations Committee, took the floor as soon
as Cummins concluded.
"It Is the opinion of the Senator from
Iowa that any one who opposes this ieso
lulion Is not a true friend of the President "
said Senator Stone "I do not Bpeak with
knowledge, but t venture to express doubt
whether the President was so obsessed with
the Idea of the Senator's affectionate and
ijevoted friendship as to place bis foiiunes
In his hands
. "I am against thic resolution. I ihlnk it
ts an unwise resolution. It has been Intro
duced without du deliberation, and as if
he (Cummins) was apprehensive that some
one might precede him on tho stage
if every Senator here should epeaU,
ninety-six hours would h consumed. If
(his talk-fe4t should bo cuiiiiuued for seven
hours a day. more than two weeks would
be consumed, or half the time remaining
of this session.
"The Senator Is of the opinion that a few
speeches, made In ene or two days, would
give the opinion of the Senate Why so?
The resolution In Its preamble states its
purpose to he to obtain the 'advice of In
dividual Senators.
in what way would the President's foot
steps be guided by six or seven speeches
approving his uddnj and six or seven an
the other side; It' Is unwarranted to say
ten or u dozen speeches would outline to
jhe President or the world what is the
attitude of the Senate.
' "There is nu 'way tu prevent Senators
epeaking on this subject. There Is no de
sire to prevent Senators from speaking.
But for the Senate to set aside such an
amount of time to be devoted to discussion
of this question seems to me u most mel
ancholy waste of time."
Senator Stone renewed his motion of
yesterday to refer the Cummins lesolutlon
to the Foreign Itelatlonn Committee.
Senator Shafroth, of Colorado, who had
been in correspondence with the Protident
on the League to Enforce Peace before the
President delivered his address In the Sen

said, the governing committee desires to aid
in every way tho enpedltlon of the com
in III ec'H work.
Noble was accompanied ti. the stand by
llenr K. Pomeroy, formor president of the
exchange und now chaliman of its law
committee, und Walter F. Taj lor, counsel
to tho exchange.
The questioning turned into technical
channels regarding tho listing of slocks on
Ihe exchange.
Noble said Iho usual cause of dropping
a stock from tho list was lhat It became
accumulated in too- few hands.
"Uecause. In other words. It doean i afford
opportunities for short selling?" susgested
Whipple- ....
i hnve never heard of that reason." in
terrupted Pomeroj.
A lengthy colloquy followed, ending
finally in Noble's admission that such a
stock would bo dropped because ll did not

Noble was coached throughout his testi

to answer questions. Pomeroy was sworn,

Whipple asked If "Hie accumulation of
slocks in tho hands of n few persons" did
not constitute a "pool "

FIRE RAGES IN MINE
NEAR MAHANOY CITY
Lehigh Valley's Primrose and
Park Place Operations Prey
of Flames
M. MIAMI Y CITY. Pa.. Jan 21 - A
seething inferno Is i aging loda.v in the
depths of th Primrose mine, of tho Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, nnd despite tho
heroic efforts of Hie attaches of tho
Fulled States Mine F.escue Car. sent to tho
scene, no progress has been niado In ex
tinguishing the tlamcs, which have euteu
their way Ihiotigh Ihe limbering nnd are
now threatening large coal measures in
iho Mammoth, Skidmore und Buck .Moun
tain veins. Another largo flio-fighting
fotce with helmets and hose Is heing led
b.v General Manager F M Chase, General
Mine Superintendent Thomas II Thomas
and Mining Knglneer .1. M. liumphres, till
of Walkes-ltarre.
The gangways are choked with smoke
and time after time members of the force
are carried out for resuscitation. Fire Doss
Thomas Matthews became lost in u smoky
section and after a four-hour search was
escued. He had taken refuge in nbuii
duTnecl workings. The Unities are attacking
the richest seams of coal In the southern
Ileitis and hnve thrown t'300 bands nut of
employment at the Park Place and Prim
lose mines, the former being a subsidiary
of the latter.
Mine ofllclalB toda shook their heads
and feared the fire would have to be sealed
in by walls or the mines would have to be
flooded.
The fire is believed to have been caused
hv u smoker's pipe, although smoking Is
positively forbidden In the anthracite coal
mines.
Primrose has been the scene of several
costly fires In teccnt years, with great loss
to the Lehigh Valley Coal Conipan, which
owns extensive coal lands in Schuylkill and
Lucerne Counties. A few years ago several
lives were snuffed out In a fire -0UO feet
under ground, and mules valued at V.'LOIH)
were suffocated.
The present fire was discovered by a
dnorboy who was passing out of a gangway
to his home.
