This was Indicated today by Senate Majority Leader William A. Stevens, who yesterday was accused by Arthur Qulnn, president of the bruoght out of committee for vote New Jersey Federation of Labor, and Hugh V. neilly, secretary of the federation, of being the "servant" of New Jersey manufacturing Interests at a labor meeting here.

Senator Stevens said the judiciary committee, of which he is chairman, will continue to hold the Richards bill until enough, votes to paes 'the measure have been assured. The claim of the labor leaders that senators favored the bill was disputed by Senator Stevens. He said a canvass of the senate this week found but four members of the upper house favorable to the workmen's compensation measure. The Richards bill would increase the maximum compensation under the employers' liability act for total disability from $17 to $20 a week and would' also increase the number of weeks with payment of compensation. The measure would also modify the provision of the present law relating to injuries causing hernia.

The bill was introduced in the senate Jan. 17 and was assigned to the judiciary committee. It has not been moved.

19. Coffeyville awoke today with the uncanny feeling that the storming of the city jail here last night in an effort" to wrest a. negro prisoner from the law was but an unrealized dream in the dark. Petroling National Guardsmen, three injured men and a badly damaged city hall, however, testified to the stark reality of the night's events. Four men wore under arrest on charges of looting a hardware store.

The negro sought by the mob after his arrest in connection with an attack on two high school girls, was free and county and military authorities were confident there would bo no repetition of mob activity. Tho negro, Curtis Smith, was released when officials said they did not have enough evidence to hold the negro. Neither girl could identify him as one of the attackers. Two other negroes, arrested with Smith, were freed yesterday when they satisfied officers they did not participate in the attack. W.

D. McCrabb, sheriff of Montgomery county, announced that three negroes, answering the description given by the girls were under arrest in Hunboldt, and would be questioned today. City officials declared their intention of starting an of the mob, and friends of one of the injured men declared a damage suit would be filed against the city im mediately under the Kansas mob law which holds the city responsible for mob violence. Three men constitute a mob under the law and there were virtually 2,000 men, women and chil dren about the city hall when three attempts made to take Curtis Smith, the negro, from the officers. Every window in the city hall was brokenout when bricks, rocks and other missiles were hurled at the entrenched officers.

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW IN ROCKY MOUNTAINS JOPLIN, March 19. UP) More than a score of persons were killed and at least 50 injured, many severely, by tornadoes and high winds which swept southwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas last night.

Reports indicated losses would run heavy thruout the Green Forest district. Special trains were enroute to tho area today, carrying doctors, nurses and supplies. The storm apparently centered at Green Forest where upwards of 700 houses and stores were destroyed or badly damaged.

Streets were filled with debris which hampered rescue crews. Two churches were converted into dressing stations and one later was designated as a morgue. Sixteen bodies had been recovered early today. As tho ctorm- severed power lines as, well as telephone and telegraph wires, the rescuers stumbled about with lanterns, tracing the cries of Injured or marking spots where people were believed pinned or burled by stone and timbers. Persons arriving at Eureka Springs, 25 miles northwest ot Green Forest, said the Missouri and North Arkansas ralroad station, an elementary school house and a bank building were among structures virtually demolished.

Hail and wind shattered windows in almost all business buildings, on tho square and in practically every home. No effort was made to combat the fires.

TORNADO TWO IN rVORD OF PI BELIEVED IN BRAZILIAN JUNGLES Italian Aviator Unheard Fromi For 40 Hours Since Leaving For Flight Over Wilderness. ALL AGENCIES SEEK TO FIND HtrWHEREABOUTS RIO JANEIRO, March 19 UP).

Commander Francesco Do Pincdo has been missing more than 40 hours since he left San Lulz De Caceres Thursday afternoon continuing his four-continent flight across the Brazilian jungles in the direction the Amazon river. The National Telegraph Service had no news of the Italian flier up to 10 o'clock this morning. Telegraphic communication with the state of Mutta Crosso, where the plane started, has been partially interrupted by storms. BUENOS AIRES, March 19. UP) Tho wild Brazilian Jungles today still held the secret on tho whereabouts of Commander Francesco de Plnedo, Italy's premier long distance flier, and his companions in the giant hydro-airplane Santa Muria.

Not since the report that da Iinedo hopped oft near San Luis do Caceres, in the state of Matto Gross, Brazil, Thursday afternoon, supposedly for Manaos, 1,300 miles away, has any thing been heard from him. Still, notwithstanding the long period of silence, aviation experts here, including Hector Peretti, representative of the factory in Italy where the Santa Maria was built, said they had no misgivings as to the sufety of the craft and its crew. The possibility of not hearing fro'm the fliers for some time had been fore--cast before de Pinedo started the flight because of lack ot communication. When ho penetrated the jungles the route to his destination would take him over the "River of Doubt," discovered by former President Roosevelt, and across great swamps covered with dense vegetation and reeking with mud deep enough to swallow the plane it it fell. Slgnor Perettl said today that he was not at all exercised over tho lack of information.

He was of the belief that the aviators were at Matto Otosso awaiting favorable conditions for a flight to Guajara-Mlren, half way between Casares and Manaos. "No arrangements were mado by the Brazilian government for the rescue of de linedo in case ot accident," said Perettl, "and it is hoped no emergency of this kind will occur.

Munhall 1m a summer resident ot Ocean Grove unci is widely known for his rapier-like criticisms of conditions in and out of the church, and also his attacks upon Bishop Joseph Berry. Another writer In the paper, signing himself W. labels Bishop Anderson a "ono hundred percent Modernist thru and thru" and accuses him of using the "big stick of authority to get men to bow down' to the altars of Modernism and prove unfaithful to their ordination vows." Tho taking up of tho cudgels by "The Methodist" praqtlcally insures that what ever healing had taken place over the Modernlst-Eseentlallst breach In tho New Jersey Conference, has been ripped asunder and that from now on there will be lively dLiscntion, In the Methodist church with Rev. Munhall and Rev. Harold P.

Sloan on one side and Bishop An derson on the other. Rev. Munhall's article in "The Methodist" goes on to say: Treason At the session of the X. J. Annual Conference last Saturday, in the First church at Asbury Park, a storm broke that had been portcntlous since Dr.

Elliott's address concerning the Reviews, and Dr. Edward's address representing the work of the Foreign Missionary society. The immediate cause for the electrical discharge was Dr. Meyer's address concerning his work as editor of our Sunday school publications (two of my associate editors are members ot the New Jersey Conference, and make report elsewhere in this issue ot "Tho Methodist" ot Conference proceedings). At the close of Dr.

Meyer's address, Dr. Harold Paul Sloan took the floor and delivered a courteous and signally able address; truthful, timely and irrefutable. After considerable discussion, a resolution similar to one passed by the General Conferences of 1920 and 1924, admonishing Dr. Meyer to bo careful what ho wrote and published, was introduced by Dr. Sloan and passed by an overwhelming vote.

When this matter was disposed ot Bishop Anderson arose and asked the privilege to address tho Conference regarding Dr. Meyer's work. The request was granted. After ho had exhausted hla MAY BE ANJRISH JOKE DUBLIN. March 19.

UP) Henry Ford's opinions are yet, to be uncovered in the $1,000,000 libel suit brought in federal court here by Aaron Saplro. A battery of lawyers on their feet at every attempt to lift the lid for a peep Into the brain of the automobile manufacturer, have successfully blocked all questions which might prove embarrassing. Two facts about Ford were learned however, in the few minutes his edi tor, William J. Cameron, was on the stand yesterday. Ho regards Soviet Russia with a lenient eyo while his weekly, the Dearborn Independent, la opposed to Bolshevism.

"Do you ever hold any conferences with Mr. Ford?" asked William Henry Gallagher, attorney for Saplro. "And it so were the policies ot the paper discussed?" "Only in a most general way," replied Mr. Cameron, "and I can't recall any discussions except when we have differed with him. For instance Mr.

Ford is against war and the paper is for preparedness. Ford also looks on the Russian peoplo with a lenient eye and the Independent Is opposed to Bolshevism." Gallagher picked him up eagerly. "You mean Mr, Ford is pro-Soviet?" "I didn't say that" Cameron corrected, "I said ho was more lenient" Whenever Gallagher attempted to pin tho editor down as to details of conferences with Ford, defense counsel became vociferous.

SS. i MANSLAUGHTER Shaw Would Have College Teachers Exchange Chairs With Business Men Believes Reduction Would Be Warranted If Estimated Surplus Appears. SUGGESTS BILL BE PUT BEFORE NEXT CONGRESS WASHINGTON, March 19. OP) President Coolldge believes that the taxpayer, just recovering from the worry of filling out an income report, stands a good chance of having his obligations to the government reduced before this job is tackled against next year. He feels that the estimated trasury surplus, probably In excess of for the present fiscal year ending June 30, would warrant a pairing of revenue rates by congress unless some unforeseen contingency should arise.

The president's view, made known at the White House yesterday, is based on the recent prediction by Secretary Mellon that the government's income would run about half a million dollars above its expenditures. The secretary several days ago Indicated that income tax collection for the first quarter of this calendar year exceeded by approximately $100,000,000 the collections for the corresponding period lastx year when the present law went Into effect.

"Instead of having professors exchange chairs In their respective colleges, it would be better to have the professor swap his chair for the desk of a business man.

"The; great need of education Is less of it, less education and more energy.
