DARK HORSE IS POSSIBLE Leon Bourgeolse Talked Of, to Hold Place at Least TTntil Balkan Crisis Is Passed Du Paty. de Clam Incident Alive. PARIS. Jan. 14. Paul Desehanel was re-elected today president of the Cham ber of Deputies and declared himself tonight as a candidate for the Presi dency of the republic. The other can didates who have been announced for mally are Premier Poincaire and ex Premier Ribot. while Jules Pams, Min ister of Agriculture; Antonin IXiboat, who was re-elected today president of the Senate: Jean Dupuy, Minister of Public Works, and Theophyle Delcasse, Minister of Marine, unofficially are in the running. There is some talk now that Leon Ilourgeolse may be induced to stand at the last moment as a compromise can didate. If only to serve a few months, until the European crisis is ended. ' "Personal Power" Held Costly. As if seeking to answer the critics who have been accusing him of reac tionary tendencies, M. Desehanel, in his inaugural address, in which he lauded the achievements of the Parlia ment in the last three years, urged Frenchmen to go on improving the parliamentary system, but to be care ful not to demolish it, for, he said, "personal power has cost France too dearly in the past." This allusion to the monarchy and the empire brought Deputy Delahaye, a conservative, to his feet, shouting, "Xot so dearly as the republic." A tumult broke out in the Chamber, but M. Desehanel raised his voice above the din, saying: "Yes, it has cost us too dearly ever to tempt us to begin over again." Great applause from the benches of the majority greeted this remark. View of European Crisis Hopeful. After declaring that France's work in behalf of social Justice, the amelior ation of the conditions of the poor and old age pensions would remain an im perishable honor to the ttiird republic, Mr. Desehanel dwelt upon the exter nal political situation and expressed tho belief that the world could reason ably hope that the Balkan crisis would not drag the powers into a conflict which none desired. Another feature of the day was the animated conversation in the lobby of the Senate between Premier Poincaire, M. Briand, the Minister of Justice; and ex-Premier Clemenceau. It is under stood that M. Clemenceau reproached the Ministers for the recent attitude of the Cabinet with respect to the rein statement of Du Paty de Clam and de clared openly that lie intended to vote for M. Dubost. Opinion Would Reverse Precedent. Louis Passy voiced In the Chamber today the evident trend of public opin ion in favor of the full exercise by the President of the prerogatives allowed by the constitution, which in the past lias been frowned upon by precedent. He suggested that the President should send messages to the Parliament and In other ways take an active part in governing the nation. The parties and group making up the republican majority In the Chamber and Senate will caucus tomorrow to decide on a candidate to support in the Versailles congress to be held Friday.

OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 14. (Special.) Upon the arrival here tonight of Gov ernor-elect Lister, preparatory to his inauguration tomorrow, a hurried cau cus of Democrats was called at the Mitchell Hotel, and the entire Demo cratic legislative force lined up with him on his administration programme. The Governor In an address declared that he had taken no part in the lyis- lative campaign, and for that reason believed that no one could have any thing against him on that score. Ha urged the Democrats to get -ogeher and fight for Democratic principles. It was explained to him that the Democrats had lined up witn the Re publicans in the organization work of the Legislature because the believed they could get more that way than by affiliating with the Bull Mooso delegation. Hugh C. Todd, chairman of the Dem ocrat state central committee, was in the city and attended the rn.3eti.ig. He urged the Democrats to get together. "Go to the rescue of the party," urged Mr. Todd. "Democrats should vote for Democratic measures." As a result of the caucus the Gover nor and the Democratic members are said to be tied together, and will go down the line for the programme of the Governor, which will be outlined in his inaugural address. It is understood that the main features of his recom mendations have to do with the cut ting of the expenses of the state. There is much conjecture among Re publicans and Bull Moosers as to what the result will be with a Republican House and Senate and a Democrat In charge of the veto power. Olympia's Capitol building is beau tifully decorated Inside and outside with American flags for the inaugural ceremony, which will take place at 2:30 P. M. Hundreds of persons from va rious parts of the state arrived here to attend this and the inaugural ball which takes place tomorrow night. METAL MENM HEARD WAGE INCREASE FORECAST IX TARIFF INQUIRY. Hoop Manufacturer Says Steel Cor poration Plans Advance to All Its Laborers. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. The metal schedule of the tariff law again was under fire before the House committee on ways and means today. Several steel manufacturing interests contend ed for retention of the present duties in the schedule. S. P. Ker, of Sharon, Pa., president of the Sharon Steel Hoop Company, ad vocated changes in the phraseology of the law to prevent importers from tak ing advantage of Its terms. Mr. Ker told of plans now under way by the United States Steel Corporation to ad vance the wages of its common labor ers and artisans and mechanics 10 per cent February 1. Represetative Fordney, of Michigan, estimated that this would mean an ad vance of $17,500,000. In answer to Chairman Underwood's inquiry as to the cause of the proposed Increase of wages by the Steel Cor poration, Mr. Ker said he thought that the corporation was "taking time by the forelock to1 hold Its labor." He urged protection from Invasion from abroad and added that if the Industry were disturbed the companies would re duce labor to the point where they could meet competition. Mr. Ker advocated -a dumping clause to prevent the sending of goods into this country at prices lower than in the country of production. "If we had a dumping clause In this metal schedule." said Chairman Under wood, "don't you think that the rates fixed In our metal bill last session would soon be sufficient?-' "I don't think that is so," answered Ker. "We don't know as to that yet." Affairs of the Waltham Watch Com pany of Waltham. Mass.. also were taken up by the committee, which con tinned its session far into the night. Tn Leehorn.

The director dwells upon the ne cessity of trying to prevent explosions rather than check them after they are started. In this connection he calls attention to the fact that there has been a "revolution in the use of explosives in coal mining," and the work of the bureau "in Investigating explosives has alone a value far great er than the entire cost of maintaining the bureau since its establishment." He says that now more than 13,000, 000 pounds a year are being used of "permissible explosives," whereas a few years ago practically none was used. Much can still be done In this direction, he adds, "and it is of great Importance that investigations should be conducted with explosives for use in the metal mines and quarries of the country."
