Mr. Hoover requested the congress
to appoint a commutes 10 co-opr
witn tne oeparuneni in in, aeveiwy
ment of foreign trade for Amerlcal
minerals. Tbis committee will b
appointed before tbe convention ad

"It is the desire of the departmen

Co-operatloa la Wanted.
"It Is our keenest desire to be
brought Into closest relationship for
co-operation with the industry, and
It seeks appointment of a committee
from your congress which wll co
operate with the department."
Colonel U. S. Gibbs of the general
staff of the United States army. In
addressing the congress tonight,
urged standardization of supplies for
the United States in times of defense.
and urged co-operation with the de
partment of war In securing stand
ardization of machines for manufac
ture of war materials.
M. W. Kriegh, chief of the tax dlvl
Ion, In conference with represents'
tlves of the coal industry, today de-
clared that the ( per cent sales tax
proposed by benator Smoot, Utah,
would undoubtedly afford relief to all
branches of the mining Industry, ex
cept coal and oil.
Regular Work la Creed.
A high scale wage on paper with no
work will not help the miner, but a
fair wage scale with regular work
will build his yearly earnings to a
basis of American l.vlng and allow
the coal operator to offer cheap fuel
to the consumer and reduce the pro
ducing cost of all-commodities. Harry
N. Taylor of Kansas City, vlce-presi
dent of the Central Coal & Coke Co.
tolrf the ronirreaa
Asserting that he perionally had
the highest regari. for labor unions,
. "fairly conducted," Mr. Taylor said
the unions had an opportunity to
play a leading part in the national
readjustment and urged that they
take advantage of It. -
"If, however," he said, "the miner
continue their refusal to make a re
adjustment of an abnormal wage
scale and on April 1. call a nation
wide strike, the operators must as
sume a public duty of standing for
the public rights, and the well-think
ing men of this country must stand
behind them in the battle for the
good of American Industry and Amer
ican freedom against Inbor autocracy."
Pursing Declared Needed.
Mr. Taylor declared that he had
learned from observation that the
labor union had done much for the
wage earner and had, in many in
stances, brought him comfort and
contentment that otherwise could not
have been procured,
"But the miners' organization must
be purged," he said, "of the radical
and revolutionary leadership' that
has sprung up in many districts, be
fore it can hope to regain its stand
ing In public esteem. Many of th
leaders. In their greed for power,
have become more and more unrea
sonable until they are making It Im
possible for many mines to operate.
Perhaps only when they have driven
the mining Industry to the open shop
will they learn that through their
greed they have lost all that the
conservative leaders of former years
had gained for them."
Support of his bill, pending In the
senate, for creation of a new execu
tive department of the national gov
ernment, to be known as the depart
ment of mines and presided over by
a member of the cabinet, the secre
tary of mines, was urged by Samuel
D. Nicholson, United States senator
of Colorado.
Confusion la Reviewed. .
Senator Nicholson reviewed the eon
fusion which arose In Washington
during the war when, he said, "It be
came necessary to create scores of
new bureaus in order to stimulate
production of the mines, the ouiut
of which was essential to the pros
ecution of the war."
"Because of the rapid growth In the
mining industry and the position of
Increasing importance that it has and
will continue to assume for the nation
as a whole, there should be no ques
tion but that It Is entitled to cabinet
representation," Senator Nicholson
said.
"It should now be apparent that,
notwithstanding the abundance of our
agricultural yield, we have over
5.000,000 men whose unemployment
largely results from the depressed
condition of the mining industry.
Many constructive laws hsve been en
acted for the benefit of the agricul
tural Industry and I contend that th
welfare of the mining industry la as
fundamentally Important to the gen
eral welfare an"d prosperity of the na
tion as the agricultural Industry, and
that consideration should now be
given the request of that Industry
for a department of mines with cabi
net representation."
BRUMFIELD CUTS THROAT
(Continued From Flrat Page.)
jnanned lo leave for Salem with the
convicted slayer a few hours later.
It was not known here tonight Just
what course would be followed, but
It was thought that the condition of
Brumfield would preclude both his
appearance -fore the court and his
scheduled tr.p to the state prison on
the same day.
Usoernce Still Maintained.
The cultured dentist, who has been
Convicted of one of the most grue
some murders in Oregon criminal
history, staunchly maintained his in
nocence of the crime.
Sheriff StaTmer awakened the pris
oner this morning and asked whether
or not he cared to make a statement
fcr the newspapers.
"Yes; I'm innocent." said Dr.
Brumfield. "Even If the whole world
condemns me, In the eyes of God I
am innocent but I am not afraid to
meet death.
"I am Just as Innocent of the crime
as anybody else, but I wasn't sur
prised at tbe verdict, because I wasn't
able to help my lawyers, and the evi
dence was as damning as could bs;
but Just ss sure as there la a God in
heaven I am Innocent.
"if I thouaai for ens minutt that I
was responsible for that man's death
I would have sajd so. I say now that I
am Innocent, and I will always say
1 am Innocent.
"I am not afraid to die for this
thing, but that doesn't make me
guilty. I know the story I told sound
ed like an awful wild one, but they
are the only facts I know."
The prisoner then asked when he
could see his wife.
"I don't know when she will be
down." answered the sheriff.
"I am afrajd shs won't be sble to
come down today," said Dr. Brum
field. "She was pretty sick last
night."
Mrs. Bramfleld Weeps.
Mrs. Bramfleld was a pictjre of
smiling encouragement to her hus
band throughout the trial, appearing
at all times as though she were con
fident of a verdict favorable to Dr.
Brumfield. When she heard the ver
dict of guilty and realized that her
support could not help him any more
in the trial, she cracked under the
strain. Now she Is suffering from
the natural reaction of playing her
nerve-wracking courtroom role.
She declined to make any state
ment today and declared that "The
newspapers were to blame for the
whole thing." . .
Wife Get Insurance.
The execution of Dr. Brumfield will
bring 120,000 in life insurance to bis
wife. But there .Is every reason to
believe that the thought of this tidy
fortune has had no place in her mind
in this day of grief.
In his hours of great need Dr.
Brumfield has sought comfort in the
Bible and prayer. During the last
few days he has been a constant
reader of the battered volume of
scriptures which Is furnUbed the
prisoners In the Jail. He has become
attached to this particular volume, to
which he has turned in his hour of
need, for he asked Sheriff Starmer
for permission to take the book with
him to. Salem. He offered to pay for
a new copy, but was told to consider
this Bible as a present.
Case te Be Appealed.
Dexter Rice and A. N. Orcutt. at
torneys for Dr. Brumfield, said today
that they would appeal the case to
the supreme court. A motion for a
new trial will be filed tomorrow, and
after sentence Is officially passed on
the defendant Saturday morning, an
appeal will be made.
A new development In the case to
day was the declaration, of local of-'
ftclals that a search would be made
for the "mystery woman," "Mrs. Nor
man M. Whitney," with whom Dr.
Brumfield -a said to have planned a
trip to Australia after the murder
"to start life anew.
Nearly every tome In Roseburg
has a theory about the identity of
this woman. Officers have expressed
the firm conviction that the woman
attended every session of the trial.
If it can bs shown that thla woman
was an a'ctual accomplice of Dr.
Brumfield In planning the murder, the
state will prosecute her. it is said.
A few links In the chain of evidence
Involving her must be completed be
fore this step can be considered.
ALBERT MOORE ARRESTED

grabbed his belt, struck and, kicked
