The arguments advanced by the Maryland Senator were so convincing and disconcerting to -the bonus Senators that they rushed to the defense of their pet measure for fear a death blow had been rendered.

They fired all sorts of invectives at him ashe chuckled at their discomfort. Senators Caraway Brook-hart (Iowa), Robinson (Ark.) 1 McKellar (Tenn.) and Copeland (N. tried in vain to riddle the arguments made by Senator Bruce. vi 'I -Mf 1 I II ti aii i 1 1 i iii jar iij MILLIONS IfJ GOLD Electricity Will Be Utilized to Pick Out Treasure Believed to tie in Certain Beds oft Gravel in Alaska ANCHORAGE, Alaska. Feb.

2L The use of electricity, generated from coal slack- In th Hiib-hltiimlnous mines of the Healy fields. Is one of under consideration as a means of uncovering the estimated In placer gold believed to lie in the gravels of the Tanana valley around Fairbanks, Chatanika and adjacent points. The proposal Is being investigated by Professor Charles E. Bunnell, president of the Fairbanks agricultural college and school of mines. Experts have expressed the opinion that electricity will solve a -problem that has been baffling-.

With tha exhaustion of the shallow ground In the Tanana valley, placed operations have been confined to hydraulic, dredge and shaft worx. entailing heavy expense and many hazards in prospecting. To sink shafts requires a thawing outfit and high-priced fuel, even with mines near by. In the frozen creek beds there is no trouble from water and pumping Is ovlated. Tet In other places It often happens that "live" water Is encountered Just when the prospector Is ready for sampling, and elaborate pumping operations are required.

Electrical thawing is said to be feasible, while pumping, when necessary, would be reduced greatly In cost by the use of an electric pump. If electrcity Is employed. It will be transmitted a distance of approximately 110 miles to Fairbanks and dlstributeu over an area of 60 square miles. Lack of capital has retarded the development cf this region. It is heia that the cheapness of the electricity would remove this obstacle.

One mine operator of the district reported that last year he took out more than $100,000. but made a profit of $2,000, owing to the overhead cost. With seemingly inexhaustible coat ROOSEVELT LAST? Oil Expose Is Declared by Some to Rave Ended Colonel's Political Career Interesting Speculation WASHINGTON. Feb. poiit-; leal career of Theodore Roosevelt ap- pears to have come to an abrupt end.

Competent Judges believe his oil connections are sufficient to him unavailable as a candidate for elective public office for some years to come. In particular. It Is conceded that Mr. Roosevelt will not be named as Re- publican candidate for Governor of New York. The one question that was being ask- ed today was how long Mr.

Rooaevelt i could hang on as Assistant-Secretary of the Navy. Now that secretary, Denby has resigned. Mr. 08v'u' connection th the a being carefully scrutinized. He teeU- companies ta WW when he resigned for that he had aold his Sinclair tock In WIS; that In 1319 he had got brother Archie a job with Mr.

Sinclair; that in W20 his wife bought a ahares of Sinclair common that was aoia at a loss lore me xeapoi inma ed. One member of his family was thus a Sinclair stockholder during the first year that Mr. Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy; his brother was vice-president of a Sinclair subsidiary corporation down to January 8 of this year. ACCUSED OP INDISCRETION There is no charge that these connections were In any way Improper, but. In view of what has 6ince happened, they at least appear somewhat Indiscreet for an Assistant Secretary In an executive department; especially when he had further political ambl- tlons.

An oil connection of any kind. In the prevailing public temper. Is sufficient to eliminate Mr. Roosevelt as It has already made a weak man out of Mr. McAdoo.

It Is very doubtful whether he can remain In the Navy Department. In any case, efforts will be made to get him out. unless Senator i MAY SUCCEED DENBY Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, who, it is reported, will probably be appointed i.

The Insurgent Republican front tha West have combined wtth tha almost solid Democratic strength and tha result Is that tha frst Important piece of legislation sought by tha Cooltdge administration has bean beaten and tha Democratic tax plan substituted. Over the Seriate an almost Identical situation prevails for tha combination of Western Republican and Iemoerats baa been sufficient to override tha regular Republicans aa for Instance In the resolution callirg for the resignation of Secretary Denby.

The Democrats emerge from the House debate a radical party at least their plan la the least favorable to the people seeking- a reduction of surtaxes on large Incomes. The so-called radical group of Insurgent Republicans was -willing to accept a forty per cen surtax Instead of the plan for 44 per cent but the regular Republicans wanted S3 per cent and aa consequence the Democratic proposals have been Inserted In the revenue bill which la before the House today. The fate of tax legislation rests with the Insurgent groups In the House and Senate who must finally be won be fore the differences that naturally arise ht conference between the Senate measure presented to the "White House for signature.

The Democrats, however, plan to adopt In the Senate the same tactics they have In the House, namely to let the American people know that the tax reduction affecting the largest number of tax payers Is more extensive under th Democratic th3n under the Republican plan. From a vote getting standpoint the rner plan Is a difficult one for either Republicans or Democrats to oppose. It reduces taxes on incomes up to S5O.00A a year far more than does the Mellon plan. Above that sum the Merlon plaS makes a.

greater redaction. The Garner plan reduces the surtaxes below the present law but the cut a not as big; Is Mr. Mellon proposes. The Treasury Impart merit's contention Is that while a relatively small number cf persons pay the bight surtax directly, the indirect cost of high surtaxes to enormous and that the smaller tax payers bear the burden Just the same, an economic doctrine that has mot yet won Its battle against the poBtlcal arguments. The chance are that ltwiri get a better reception In the Senate where the administration now, centers Its hope for the essential principles of the Melton plan.

Roosevelt appears to have been ignorant of what was going on In the Navy Department regarding naval oil, or. If he did know anything about It, to have speedily forgotten it.

The cemmlttre voted today to report favorably resolutions calling for the two inquiries racn to re conducted by a special cenimutee or seven iiouee members to be named by the Speaker.

The resolution proposing an investigation of Slipping Uord activities was Introduced by Representative Davis of Tennessee, a nemoeratlo member of the merchant marine committee. Inquiry Into the aircraft Industry was suggested by Representative Nelson of Wisconsin, leader of the Republican Insurgents, whose original resolution provided that It should be handled by the House patents committee, of which Representative Latnpert. also a Wisconsin Insurgent, la chairman. The rules committee, ever the opposi tion of Mr. Nelson and the four demo- cratia members, asserted that the aircraft Investigation If conducted should be in the hands a special commltee.

Later Mr. Nelson declared he had not determined whether he would press for House authorisation of such an Inquiry, as he believed It thnaM be handled ty the patent committee.
